Promoters who are aggrieved by what the National Professional Boxing Promoters Association (NPBPA) is doing or not doing must never keep quiet.
Instead, they should approach Boxing South Africa (BSA) in order for their concerns to be heard and addressed for the betterment of the fistic sport said acting BSA chief executive officer Tsholofelo Lejaka.
“The specific question on whether before the NPBPA constitution was presented to the board there was sufficient consultation with the members, I can’t say it happened. I assume it happened,” Lejaka said.
Lejaka was responding to a question around the NPBPA constitution, which some promoters contend that it was never adopted at their elective conference in Durban more than two years ago.
“My point to the promoters who have reservations is that they need to raise them with Boxing South Africa. The Act places some obligation before Boxing South Africa,” Lejaka remarked.
“If, let’s say Boxing South Africa was made to agree to a constitution which was not properly canvassed, those that are aggrieved, even now, they are not outside their right if they have an objection. This thing of consultation is very big in boxing.”
There have been some discontent and murmurings among promoters with most of them adamant that the NPBPA constitution is yet to be adopted. – Monwabisi Jimlongo
