However, Central Gauteng Athletics (CGA) have now removed the Soweto Marathon from its race calendar, leaving the organizers with no alternative but to cancel this year’s event.
The Soweto Marathon Trust confirmed this development through an official statement obtained by SABC Sport, stating the race will not be held in November as initially scheduled.
“The ongoing dispute between Athletics South Africa (ASA) and the Soweto Marathon Trust regarding the broadcast rights remains unresolved,” said Khunou in the statement.
“Furthermore, ASA, through the Central Athletics South Africa (CGA), informed the Soweto Marathon Trust that the Soweto Marathon race has been removed from CGA’s calendar of races for the year 2023.
“It is thereby, unfortunately and with reluctance, that Soweto Marathon Trust announces the cancelation of the 2023 edition.”
Khunou had previously made a strong commitment to resolving the television dispute that arose last year between SM Trust and ASA, but has now relinquished the battle with athletes bearing the brunt of the ongoing politics.
