- Last night, the Comrades Marathon Association held an emotion-charged special general meeting in Pietermaritzburg to address widespread concerns among runners. Green number holder Rory Steyn invested R8 000 to attend in person. He reports on what went down at the three-and-a-half-hour SGM with BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

I just want to say thank you to Biz News for keeping us informed and all those that participated in attending the SGM.
Thank you for the update. So pleased to hear the positive outcomes. Love the passion. For me, Comrades restores my faith in humanity and I would hate to see it mean anything else
Well done, Rory and Bruce and all members who attended and voted. Respect.
Amazing that some individuals feel absolutely entitled to steal and they will fight tooth and nail for that right.
Well done on getting Rory Steyn to Explain Happenings at SGM for Comrades Future.
Well done to the members
I immediately applied for membership. I might only have completed 5 Comrades marathons, but it is also my proudest medals. Just would like to be part of ensuring if need need be the future of the race. Thank you for standing up for all and those that could not speak out in this regard.
What an eloquent chap - thank you for this feedback.
I absolutely concur. This video just came into my CZcams feed and so I thought that I would watch it simply because it piqued my curiosity. I quickly realized how articulate, coherent and how cohesive his talking points were. I had no idea who this gentleman was and so I Googled him. I found a Biznews video in which he was being interviewed by Alec Hogg for his role as the private security officer to Nelson Mandela during Mandela's term as the President of South Africa. Long story short. He is every bit as eloquent then (2 years ago) as he is now. What a pleasure to listen to. 😊
What a waste of time. Three of us left Durban at 3.45 and ended up stuck in traffic on the N3 for 4.5 hours. The road was closed for hours. Eventually was able to turn around at Hammarsdale and go home. I wonder how many other CMA members suffered the same fate?
Thanks to the 410 people who successfully pushed our cause.
Corruption greed is everywhere, embarrassment this should never be allowed ,proof that nothing is safe.we are so grateful for caring people, keep our flag high,such precedent, well done guys.
What a well-spoken man, well done Rory!
Was shocked to hear that Comrades of all things should have been exposed to its own form of 'State capture'. Well done, those CMA members for stepping up to the plate.
VERY glad to hear it...
Who are these criminals seemingly infesting every public board??!
It's always the same people in charge when corruption becomes rife isn't it.
Don't hate the messenger.. hate the kettle.
Love it, "they got a skrik"!
Well done and thank you. The Comrades marathon is worth fighting for.
Well done Rory and all.
Thank you to Ann Asworth for initially sounding the alarm, if it weren’t for her most of us would not have known what was going on.
Roaring Steyn😂👌👏
Glad the corrupt Comrad's are out. SA so sick of corruption and incompetence permeating everywhere even in sports.
Thank you for the talk!😂 Just comrade runner!!❤
well done
The Comrades Marathon Association need to behave with more comradeship and camaraderie.
Well done to all who took action!
If one rests on their laurels the rot will creep in. Glad to hear that the rot has been cauterized.
We'll done keep it up
Wally Hayward !
Amen ❤ 🎉🎉
