The Democratic Alliance (DA) welcomes the suspension of Leonard Chuene, head of Athletics South Africa, along with the entire ASA board. We have repeatedly been calling for this for months. Indeed, I originally asked for SASCOC to take this action on September 20th. Athletics South Africa's handling of this matter has been shameful. This is the right decision from SASCOC, and we throw our full support behind it. What is of concern is how long it has taken for this decision to be reached. Indeed, Chuene still seems to have the support of much of the ANC, including Julius Malema, who has been vocal in his support for the disgraced ASA boss. This kind of support for Chuene is simply indefensible - it is an insult to Caster Semenya, who Chuene so badly betrayed
