The recent ANOCA meeting in Abidjan was attended by all the NOC's except Congo DRC. The importance of the General Assembly was demonstrated by the presence of highly placed officials in the IOC under the leadership of Dr Jacques Rogge.

It's time for another short update of what's happening at Olympic House.

The world of sport has many, many get-togethers around the globe and one that has a huge attraction is Sport Accord.

We at SASCOC join the throngs of people who are mourning the sudden death of television sports journalist Vuyo Mbuli.

Two matters which I have dwelled on in the past worth are definitely repeating in this latest update.

The Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa recently met in Cote 'd Voire, Abidjan, to work out a strategy of how to  improve the continent's performance at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio 2016.

The death of Karen Muir came as a huge shock to the swimming fraternity. We mourn her death with her family and many of her friends which she built up over a long and successful career in swimming.

After three days of intense debate and planning, the SASCOC Board has settled on the key performance areas for the organisation in the current Olympic quadrennial.

The road shows to the provinces are proving to be a most worthwhile exercise for us here at SASCOC.

I'm happy to be able to say that the outcomes of the Sports and Recreation Plan Indaba are now at implementation stage.
