Comrades at Crossroads: Vote Decides Future | Johannesburg News
Description
The Comrades Marathon Association stands at a pivotal moment, facing a legal and organizational crossroads that could redefine South African athletics. In a high-stakes vote on August 1, members must decide whether to rejoin KwaZulu-Natal Athletics—or go it alone. With KZNA pushing to classify the CMA as a local club, limiting voting rights, and ASA refusing direct affiliation, the CMA’s choice could sever ties with national structures entirely. Chair Mark Leathers vows the 2027 race will go on, citing legal grounds for independence, while the fallout could impact ASA’s finances and the future of elite running in South Africa.
