The MSSA has announced major changes amendments to Clause 39 of its Constitution and how certain groups will be represented in the organisation.<\/p>\n

The changes are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 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<\/li>\n
  2. 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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In practice, this means that no single\u00a0club may dominate any MSSA committee. It is also a push towards gender equality in South African gaming, as women will have more influence regarding\u00a0the running of the MSSA.<\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n
