AE Chief Operations Officer (COO) Thoba Mazibuko had earlier on, last month, advised clubs to send their nominations for the Executive Board. A candidates list has since been revealed and it is headlined by the race between the incumbent President Zakhele Dlamini and renowned Technical Official Selby Shongwe.

Clubs filled in the names of the candidates under each position and Victor ‘Mavikane’ Dlamini, who is AE’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) confirmed the latest developments and sent best wishes to the new executive who will assume power on the day. “Clubs have nominated on behalf of the athletics family and I just want to wish all those nominated the best of luck,” he said briefly.
