2) According to Volleyball SA Mr Reddy is no longer playing a lead role in Volleyball SA. He holds an honorary position with Volleyball South Africa. The Volleyball South Africa Congress unanimously voted him to hold an honorary position because of his exemplary leadership of the organization during difficult times to make it one of the strongest Federations in South Africa and In African volleyball. The position is one of advisor without voting rights.
3) The code of Sport must , first and foremost exercise and exhaust their constitutional directives in resolving these matters. According to Volleyball South Africa the Federation imposed sanctions on its officials as recommended by Volleyball SA tribunals. Two of its officials were employed by SASCOC and faced internal disciplinary actions. They have challenged their dismissal through the CCMA. Like SASCOC, who are waiting for the CCMA decision before they are permitted to replace these officials VSA cannot take any action against these officials bearing in mind that the final decision is still outstanding.
