Former Comrades Marathon champion Nick Bester has called on Athletics South Africa (ASA) to intervene and help ensure that Soweto Marathon runners receive their outstanding prize money.

This is what you get when you appoint a fat criminal as a sports minister.

We have @TRSchoenmaker to thank for blowing the lib of a much bigger problem in SA sport than many realised.
And yet still our athletes rise.

Commission of Inquiry into the shenanigans at South African sports federations, please Chair?
Start with Swimming South Africa.

The statement by the minister of sport is rich isn't it? He has nearly R100m to spend on LIV golf - which is bankrupt and won't happen in SA again, but can't come up with proper support for SA's most decorated Olympian. ( @GaytonMcK blocked me long ago. Hence the screenshot.)

One of these women is a multiple Olympic medal-winning athlete; the other is a "superfan".
One of these gets sponsored to travel the world, and all her expenses are paid by the government and agencies to sit on the sidelines and hope the camera shows her for a few seconds.
The other has to swim for another country now because her own country apparently doesn't have enough money for her elite training or to reward her for the achievements and pride she's brought this nation.
Make it make sense.

You've done nothing for swimming you thieving corrupt PA clown.

Somebody should be fired for governing the sport so poorly that this happened.
JUST IN | Tatjana bombshell: SA’s most decorated Olympian will now swim under Dutch flag

I am genuinely asking, what is Gayton McKenzie's actual job? Because I thought it was to support SA sports, not to blow R31 million on a luxury World Cup trip while our swimmers are forced to crowdfund R55,000 just to compete. I am absolutely disgusted by this misplaced priority.
Vaughan Marshall retweeted
Support her fully. Swimming SA did nothing for her even denying her her rightful
winnings. Well done Gayton.

@CyrilRamaphosa fired DA Min Andrew Whitfield for taking an overseas trip without his permission. A minor misdemeanor considering that he had applied but permission did not come through in time. Unlike Gayton McKenzie, no incompetence or corruption involved. Double standards!
Vaughan Marshall retweeted
I too would sooner don another flag than let my country lead me down a path to starvation. I honestly hope more people stop suffering for a country that shows them contempt.

I listened to Tatjana express herself as she chooses to represent Netherlands after years of doing it for South Africa and that’s just so sad man. Swimming SA failed her and it’s sad she had to make such a big decision but honestly it’s for the best, she’s a legend in my eyes 🥺
Vaughan Marshall retweeted
Tatjana has the privilege of an alternative. A privilege that a lot of athletes don’t have. That much is true. But she is not the one in the wrong here. Ultimately this is her job and her livelihood. The smoke needs to go to the sports administrators that failed her…
