Athletics SA (ASA) recently suspended all athletics activities for two weeks due to the second wave of Covid-19.
ASA’s acting CEO Terrence Magogodela said they hope to resume their normal events calendar.
“ASA cannot ignore the dire situation that we find ourselves in, and that it is worse with an increased death rate. The major concern is that the new Covid-19 strain seems to be affecting a large number of young people.
