The MSSA has announced major changes amendments to Clause 39 of its Constitution and how certain groups will be represented in the organisation.
The changes are as follows:
- No member shall be allowed to have more than 40% representation on any committee if other members have delegates who are standing for the available positions, and
- Should a female stand for a position on any committee and should males already have 50% representation on such committee, then all nominations for males for the position for which any females are nominated, shall be vitiated.
In practice, this means that no single club may dominate any MSSA committee. It is also a push towards gender equality in South African gaming, as women will have more influence regarding the running of the MSSA.
These measures are expected to be adopted in the MSSA’s AGM in December, in which a two-thirds majority is needed in order to amend the Constitution.
