(ii) a copy of ASA's annual budget and business plan for the (a) 2016-17, (bb) 2017-18 and (cc)2018-19 financial years and
a) The ASA Business Plan was endorsed at the 2016 ASA AGM and is effective for the period 2016 – 2020, in other words for the 4 years from Olympic Games to Olympic Games.
b) The Business Plan and annual budgets are attached.
(b) what percentage of ASA's total income is attributable to:
a From 2014 to 2017, 100% of the ASA income was applied mainly due to the debt of more than R20 000 000.00 liabilities, inherited mainly from the previous Boards of 2010 & 2012, as well as projects according the ASA Business Plan.
b) Although some of the projects where scaled down during the period 2014 – 2017 to adhere to budget constraints, none of the ASA projects were cancelled and took place successfully.
(i) fees/commission charged by ASA on road running events,
a) ASA charged no commission or fees for any event including Road Races.
b) Provinces do charge levies on events, but ASA has no access to these resources as it is intended to finance the development of athletics at provincial and club level.
(ii) sponsorship related to road running events and
a) ASA did not have a Road Running Sponsor since 2010. National Road Running events are funded from levies from the sale of licenses.
b) The primary challenge is clubs called “Corporate Clubs” whom claim special treatment, yet contaminate the commercial space with their branding on clothing, in violation with IAAF advertising regulations.
c) All clubs are equal within ASA structures. The fact that some clubs are financially stronger does not give “Corporate Clubs” special rights within ASA.
d) “Corporate Clubs” whom claim to sponsor athletes, do not contribute towards the funding of races where their athletes must run, and fail to assist on expenses related to funding South African teams to international events.
e) “Corporate clubs” are using athletes as “running billboards” and very little of the commercial profits from such exposure is invested in developing athletics.
(iii) (iii) the issuing of ASA permanent licences to road runners and/or road running clubs? NW2461E
a) ASA obtain income annually on average R2 400 000.00 from the sale of licenses.
b) On average the cost of printing the licenses are R1 300 000.00.
c) The remaining income on license levies, on average R1 100 000.00, are used to subsidize the provinces who host the National Road Running Championships ( 10km; 21.1km; 42.2 km) and prize money for the road running category winners.
Expenses from Road Running often are more than the income obtained from licenses and have to be balanced from other income
