On Saturday 2 April 2022, The Athletics family woke up to the sad news of the passing of Dodo Simon Mohatle.

 

The late Mohatle was a member of ISMO Athletics Club and a newly elected member of the Track and Field Commission of Central Gauteng Athletics (CGA), where he had served for many years with great excellence and dedication.

 

He was a hard worker and was very passionate about serving athletes and the province. He served the province with great integrity and commitment over the years, always available to assist and went an extra mile in all disciplines of athletics of Road Running, Cross Country and Track and Field.

 

Dodo will be remembered for his sincerity, warmth and humanity whenever he interacted with members of the athletics family. Better known as Dodo in athletics, he actively ensured that the welfare of athletes and officials were always taken care of. He indeed represented the province with great pride and served athletes with inordinate honour. His love for athletics was immense and he has shown great commitment to the sport in his years with the province.
