PAPER TRAIL: Panel recommends ‘removal’ of Athletics SA president over credit card abuse
Athletics South Africa president James Moloi has been found to have used his ASA credit facility as a ‘personal slush card’.
An independent disciplinary panel has recommended that Athletics South Africa (ASA) president James Moloi should be removed from office over allegations of credit card abuse. The 55-page report, dated 6 October 2026, found Moloi misused the federation's corporate credit card for personal purchases, including liquor, clothing, an electronic device, cash advances, groceries, meals, travel, fuel and tires.
The panel, chaired by retired Judge President Basheer Waglay, concluded that the transactions examined were "personal, unauthorised or unsubstantiated".
