The members include the CMA Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. They are:
- Mqondisi Ngcobo
- Leslie Burnard
- Kerwin Basson
- Pumlani Ntuli
Ngcobo says, “I am very grateful to the CMA Board, Staff, sponsors and volunteers who have supported the work of the Association in what has been some stressful circumstances. The past few weeks have taken a toll on the members of the Association and I empathize with those who have been at the coalface dealing with these issues.”
Ngcobo adds, “The CMA and the race are in a very good space, and it is with this in mind that we will be stepping down from the CMA Board to spend some much needed downtime to be with our families and to allow the Association to evolve. We wish all stakeholders, members and most importantly the runners, everything of the best for the future.”
CMA Elders Jeff Minnaar and Peter Proctor, and CMA Member Busani Ndlovu have been appointed as Appointee Board Members onto the CMA Board as per Clause 21.4 of the CMA Constitution.
