The minister did this despite a court order declaring all decisions taken by the BSA board appointed by Kodwa in November null and void.<\/p>\n<p>The NPBPA interdicted the board from taking office on December 11 because Kodwa did not adhere to the South African Boxing Act.The act states: \u201cThe minister must appoint the members of Boxing South African on a part-time basis after consultation with the association or federation of associations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kodwa withdrew from opposing the NPBPA court application on the matter. The effect of the application last week was that Kodwa revokes the appointment of the board in November due to lack of consultation with the NPBPA and other associations.<\/p>\n<p>Mahoko said all decisions of the board, including lifting the suspension of Ntlanganiso as BSA&#8217;s COO, were unlawful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur contention is the minister is not complying with the court order,\u201d Mahoko said. Present in court from the NPBPA were general secretary Zandile Malinga and head of communications Janie Hebler.<\/p>\n<p>Kodwa is quoted as saying: \u201cI met the NPBPA; this meeting was to discuss what is in the best interest of boxing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth parties agreed that the matter stand down until an amicable solution is found. Both parties have committed to this process in the interest of boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
