During the recent WKF fact-finding mission meeting held in Gauteng, a question was directed to the Vice President of KSA regarding whether any KSA members would face suspension for attending the meetings in SA.

In response, the Vice President clearly and confidently assured all those present that no KSA member would be suspended for their attendance. The meeting applauded his assurance.

Trying to prevent comunication from parents, athletes and coaches regarding the mismanagement and solve issues :

This was a whatsapp in Kzn. Dear Exco Members...

It has come to my attention that there will be a meeting held today by members who are no more part OF REGION.. PROVINCE NOR KSA today with regards to the visit of the UFAK leadership. Please not KKZN did not mandate such a meeting to be held therefore we distance ourselves from that meeting. Please note that no member of KZN is to attend a meeting unless the invitation came through the KZN Secretary office.

As per our communication through the secretary we will have our meeting on Sunday at 10am via zoom.

Thank you
Njabulo Khumalo
President KKZN
