After sports minister Gayton McKenzie revealed that they will take over the troubled Soweto Marathon, Athletics SA ASA acting president James Mathane said they will sit down with the government to give them guidance about procedures that need to be followed.
McKenzie said the government would step in to pay the outstanding prize money, take over the race, and even open a criminal case against last years organisers, who have since disappeared.
This is after runners who won the race and those who finished in the top 10 are still waiting for their money, which is due to them.
