The annual report of Boxing South Africa (BSA) has revealed that the regulatory body’s travelling expenses during the 2022/23 fiscal increased by more than 300 percent compared to the previous financial year.
Ink Sport can reveal that some of the travelling expenses incurred by BSA include costs of transporting members of the National Professional Boxing Promoters Association (NPBPA) around the country.
The NPBPA leadership was elected at a two-day conference in Durban in October last year.
“Some of the costs BSA incurred are for the travelling of the members of the National Professional Boxing Promoters Association. We raised the matter of paying for the travelling of the members of the National Promoters Association to the board, but nothing happened,” a source in the BSA board revealed.
BSA board chairperson Luthando Jack didn’t respond to questions sent to him seeking more clarity on BSA’s travelling expenses.
We had asked Jack about the cause of the massive increase in travelling expenses. Ink Sport also asked Jack to confirm or deny that BSA footed the travelling expenses of members of the NPBPA.
The last question we asked Jack was whether BSA would cover travelling costs of other national structures constituted by the regulatory body’s licensees.
Meanwhile, this is the second time that Jack failed to respond to Ink Sport’s emailed questions this week.
