Athletics South Africa is the national governing body for the sport of athletics (including track and field, cross country, road running and racewalking) in South Africa, recognised by the IAAF,[3] and also a member of Confederation of African Athletics.[4] The association is based in Johannesburg.
The organisation reports to the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC). In 2011, SASCOC sacked the head of Athletics South Africa, Leonard Chuene, for financial mismanagement, misappropriation of funds, tax evasion, and conducting a sex verification tests on Caster Semenya without her consent.[5] [6] [7] Thereafter, Athletics South Africa has been a key supporter in taking Semenya's case to the Court of Arbitration and the financial costs of this action prevented it from hosting the African Southern Region Athletics Championships in 2019.[8]
