WTF CSA?

CSA website says so, and entries are open. Except you cant select category  :unsure:   But you can pay !!!

 

Had to edit this, as now it says entries open on the 20th. This after I mailed them last week saying I cant select a category. But still says PE. But if not mistaken this year was also supposed to be PE and was changed at the last minute to Gauteng coz PE had done nothing to organise. So we wait with baited breath.

I can't say if this was the same situation, but if we turn back the clock to 2011 when PE last hosted SAs.

 

EP Cycling (now East Cape Cycling) was informed at the Nth hour that PE would host. To add to this, the champs were brought forward by a few months. There was no time to organise a proper event.

 

CSA stated that they would organise. Despite EPs protests of the routes chosen by CSA, they went ahead anyway and it was a disaster. Half the events were cancelled due to traffic and safety problems. CSA never owned up and shouldered the blame and most cyclists pointed a finger at EP Cycling for the stuff ups. EP Cycling had little involvement in the organising, but incurred the wrath of the entants.

 

If PE had done nothing to organise this most recent event, I'm willing to bet something similar happened.

Bikehub, formerly known as TheHubSA, is also a relevant institution and authority, right?

Yes, you are right.

 

I think Bike Hub played a roll (maybe a small roll) in exposing the CSA for what they are. So yes, we deserve to know.

 

You do realise, that no matter the outcome, things are unlikely to change.

It is good that there will be an investigation but perhaps they shouldn't be investing themselves..surely an independent one would be better?

Like the way they communicate the pecking order... :D :D

 

I would have thought that you need at least one bean counter as part of the team if we talk governance and compliance.

 

But this is such a deja moo story... things will not change...
