Whilst they are also trying to help promoters, once this challenging period has passed, Lejaka says they will try and help boxers by sanctioning more boxing tournaments as they continue to try and cushioning the blow. He says they will not relax their compliance regulations even though they will try and be considerate.
There is also no doubt that boxing promoters especially those who had prior arrangements and approvals from government departments and potential sponsors would be the most hit by this lock-down period. Lejaka says they are work hand in hand with the promoters to soften the blow.
By now, BSA was also supposed to have kick started 2019 Boxing Awards nomination process but this is something that will also be affected because some of the nominations are received via post.

The 21-day lock-down enforced in South Africa as a response to the growing number of cases of the coronavirus has also forced different sporting codes to restructure how they have been doing things.

The victory earned Bantwana a spot in the final round of the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup to be staged in India, as they joined four other teams – Cameroon, Uganda, Nigeria and Ghana. Wade says her club, Janine Van Wyk (JVW) FC has put together a series of online training regimes and activities for them to keep fit as the country goes through a lockdown in an effort to curb the spread of the Coronavirus.
Wade concedes the break could not have come at a bad time for Bantwana as it has now disrupted their momentum following their recent exploits. They beat Zambia 3-2 on aggregate a fortnight ago to progress to the next round of the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers and their next assignment was meant to be the Under 17 COSAFA Cup in Mauritius from the 17th to 26th of April, which has since been postponed. Wade nevertheless trusts they will pick up where they left off.

With Buchanan currently one of the shining lights in South African football, there are already calls from section of fans and the media for the player to receive a Bafana Bafana call-up. He is also undoubtedly going to be a contender for Midfielder of the Season. But the player himself modestly plays down these murmurings.
During his time at Chiefs, Buchanan never really fitted in. He spent two years at the Soweto giants where he worked under their former coach Steve Komphela, but only managed four starts. Asked whether he wished he could have taken his current form back to his time at Naturena, the soft-spoken midfielder felt it would not have mattered because the two parties had contrasting styles.
Buchanan is currently preparing with his Maritzburg teammates to face up to former club Bloemfontein Celtic in the Nedbank Cup last 16 on Saturday. It was at Siwelele where he initially made his name, prompting Amakhosi to swoop and sign him. Even though he was a key figure during his time with the Free State side, he still believes that he has never had a season like this one, where all the elements have come together. He has played in 16 out of Maritzburg’s 22 games and is one of the first names on Tinkler’s starting list.

After a slow start to 2019/20, he has now found his groove and is delighted to be back playing regularly under the guidance of Eric Tinkler.

The former assistant coach also backed his midfielder Thabiso Mokoena who conceded a late own goal against Orlando Pirates in the league this past Sunday. Clark says the player has everyone’s support in the team and there is nothing Mokoena could have done in that situation. Clark also took a little dig at Pirates saying they are going on about a fluke goal like they planned it in training.

During his playing days, Da Gama starred as a striker at Moroka Swallows and Dynamos and that’s where he also got to play against Chiefs and scored some goals against them.
Following last night’s result, Da Gama blamed lack of depth in his squad for contributing to this loss as he was missing some of his regular players.
With Chiefs celebrating their 50th anniversary as from Tuesday, the club released free tickets to their supporters as part of the celebrations and there were over 54 000 fans at the match venue last night.

It’s been more than seven months now that Shabba has been without a team and he says he’s almost ready to return.
Tshabalala spent a season in Turkey after leaving Chiefs in 2018, it was always his dream to play overseas especially after the 2010 FIFA World Cup where he scored a spectacular opening goal against Mexico.
As Kaizer Chiefs celebrated their 50th anniversary over the past two days, football fans could be forgiven for having thought for a moment that Bafana Bafana legendary player Siphiwe Tshabalala has retired from football.
One of the things noticeable about Malan’s game is how aware he is of where his off stump is when leaving balls, and he says this something that has come later in his game.

The Nelspruit-born batsman says that while it has been a long road to get this chance, it was worth it.
While South Africa may have lost the second test at Newlands to England, one of the positives that came from the game was the debut of opening batsman Pieter Malan.
Black Leopards head coach Cavin Johnson says not everything was bad during last night’s heart breaking 2-1 league loss to Chippa United.

It was only for the first time this season that Highlands lost by a three goal margin and ironically they had also conceded three goals in the opening game of the season against Chiefs which they lost 3-2.
In what was a fitting 50th birthday present for the Kaizer Chiefs family, Amakhosi registered a clinical 3-0 win over Highlands Park in an Absa Premiership match played at the FNB stadium last night.
Highlands Park have picked up their confidence in the last two matches with some good wins against Golden Arrows and Black Leopards, they had gone five matches without a win before these two games.
Head coach Ernst Middendorp last won some silverware in the PSL during his first stint with with Chiefs between 2005 and 2007, he has never won a trophy since then.

Chiefs, arguably Southern Africa’s biggest club in terms of fan base is also the most successful football club dating back to the 1970’s when it comes to trophies.
Kaizer Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung says during the days of the struggle, they were more than just a footballing club but also a vehicle to drive resistance against apartheid government.
Da Gama also added that he is looking at filling in the left back spot as that department has been blighted by injuries.
In Peter Shalulile, Da Gama believes he has a potent force upfront and described the Namibian International as the best striker in the country and his PSL goal scoring numbers do not lie as he is leading the domestic scoring chats with 9 so far.
The Lions having an interesting statistic of being the second-best team in the league after Kaizer Chiefs when only half-time results are considered but Da Gama’s charges still seem to crumble in the second half hence their current fifth overall position.
