MESSAGE FROM THE SAPL PRESIDENT

Following recent misunderstandings I have decided to step down from the position of SAPL President effective 6 March 2023.

Anthony Pietsch has agree to assume the role and responsibilities of SAPL President until the next AGM and I have agreed to act as SAPL Secretary until the next AGM.

Clubs will be asked to ratify both these proposals at the next SAPL Committee meeting planned for the 1 April 2023.
