Boxing promoter Andre Thysse is concerned that the lives are being put at risk by appointing older officials.
Said Thysse: “BSA still allows elderly citizens like Jaap van Niewenhuizen, 73, to continue getting involved in the day-to-day running of boxing in the province.” "We are putting people’s lives at risk. Actually, what BSA is doing is not good at all. Jaap goes to press conferences, weigh-ins and attends tournaments. He mingles with a lot of people and who knows their status. It appears as if BSA does not care for elderly people. There is a young guy, Lehlohonolo Ramagole, who was acting with Jaap.”
