(2) SASCOC indicated that they have not closed down any federation. They further indicated that it is not SASCOC’s responsibility to close down NFs as they were not established by SASCOC. Each federation has its own autonomy to manage its affairs.

(3) SASCOC indicated that they don’t have the records on the number of membership applications declined. SASCOC further indicated that mostly applications are declined due to the organisations not meeting the membership criteria requirements e.g. the organisation is not of a national stature (does not have members in at least 5 provinces in the country), no statutes/ founding documents, not democratically set up, some are of the similar sport type as one of the current member of SASCOC (this element is in SASCOC’s Constitution).
