SASCOC president Gideon Sam said on Sunday that there had been good progress in taking South African sport forward but as always, there's work to be done.
Sam was speaking after a two-day President's Council meeting at Birchwood, Boksburg. The meeting of the South African Olympic governing body was addressed by various key note speakers who provided input in various areas such as unity, transformation and representivity.
"One of the most important areas is that of unity and it was good to see the engagement on these issues," said Sam. "What's obvious is that we have to have unity in sport if we are to success at any level. In fact we need unity in all aspects like social structure. Some say that it is an economic reality and so on and it remains a dream to have perfect unity but it is something that we have to continuously strive for."
Regarding representivity, Sam said: "It's high time that we go into the various federations and just have a look at this subject but I must also stress that this is most definitely not a witch hunt of any sort."
