South Africa will send six amateur boxers to France in May in what will be the world qualifiers for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the sports ministry has confirmed.
The interim committee was elected last Thursday at an urgent meeting of all nine Sanabo affiliates and two associate members the SA National Defence Force and University Sport SA. The meeting was called by the SA Sports Confederation and Olympics Committee and it was chaired by Sandile Sibisi.
The interim committee comprises Siyabulela Mkwalo , Hazert Hlophe , Liwa Mlokoti , Tsae Onalina and Mandla Ndlovu .South Africa missed the continental qualifiers in Senegal in February because Sanabo did not send boxers there, citing financial challenges. But a source said Sanabo did not comply financially and that is why Sascoc could not foot the bill for the trip to Dakar.
