With reference to a certain senior official (name and details furnished) who has been suspended by Boxing South Africa due to an incorrect tallying up of a scorecard in East London, what are the reasons that another certain official (name and details furnished), has not been suspended?
Reply:
Boxing South Africa (BSA) indicated that the senior official in question is the COO, Mr. Nhlanganiso, and has been suspended for (a) Gross insubordination, (b) Gross negligence, and (c) Grave violation of the provisions of the South African Boxing Act.
