Athletics South Africa, which yesterday (15 December 2021) officially closed its offices for business for the rest of the year, has urged all fellow citizens and beyond for a safe and responsible festive season. 

The ASA will re-open on Wednesday, 5 January 2022. 

James Moloi, the president of ASA said: "We wish ASA members, athletes, coaches, Technical Officials, Sponsors, media and the entire athletics family, a blessed Christmas holiday and prosperous 2022." ASA also invites everyone to enjoy their Christmas Festive safely and with much responsibility in the wake of highly contagious omicron variant of the corona virus. 

We need to enjoy the family time, while protecting each other and our valued communities. Therefore, we urge our members to continue adhering to the Covid 19 Regulations and stay safe. Let’s live another day so that we enter the new season fresh and ready for what promises to be an exciting new fixture calendar. 

The acting CEO of ASA, Terrance Magogodela, also takes the opportunity on behalf of the board, ASA members, staff, and entire athletics family, to wish President Moloi a wonderful birthday celebration today.
