Earlier, the ultra-marathon said a final decision on a possible postponement will only be announced on April the 17th.

We will make a final decision as to whether or not we will postpone events. I think that’s really an operative word at this stage – we are at worst looking at a possible postponement.

Mthethwa met in Pretoria with leaders from the top seven sporting codes in the country, namely football, boxing, rugby, cricket, athletics, swimming, netball and macro sports body – the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee .
