Although the athletics community has been up in arms, Athletics South Africa (ASA) is still investigating the status of Steven Swarts, who retains his position as Athletics Free State (AFS) president despite being convicted of sexual assault.

Swarts, who is the coach and stepfather of 400m world record holder Wayde van Niekerk, was given a five-year suspended sentence in 2018 after admitting guilt.

This was after a female athlete he coached alleged that he had inserted his fingers into her genitals while giving her a massage.
