Self-proclaimed Soweto Marathon Trust spokesperson Stan Itshegetseng has launched a fierce attack on Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie following reports that government could take over the troubled Soweto Marathon.
Soweto Marathon Non-Profit Company (NPC) spokesperson Jabu Mbuli has insisted that the iconic People’s Race will proceed as scheduled at Nasrec on Saturday, regardless of the ongoing dispute with the Soweto Marathon Trust.
Central Gauteng Athletics has distanced itself from the Soweto Marathon Trust amid ongoing governance disputes ahead of next month’s race.
Soweto Marathon organisers, the Non-Profit Company (NPC), will launch the 30th edition of the iconic race at the end of this month, spokesperson Jabu Mbuli confirmed to SABC Sport.
The Soweto Marathon will go ahead in 2025, but a group calling itself a Non-Profit Company, led by spokesperson Jabu Mbuli, will now take charge of the event.
Morakane Mosupyoe, the MEC for Sports in Gauteng, has accused the Soweto Marathon Trust (SMT) and Central Gauteng Athletics (CGA) of providing false information regarding the TV broadcast deal to the department.
