“There are only four clubs that have complied. The other could face deregistration, I have pleaded with the Registrar and I told them we will be having a meeting today and we will elect a committee that will lead motorsport,” Gaseitsiwe said. The BMS has been without an executive committee since the beginning of the year after the interim committee led by John Carr-Hartley’s 12-month period elapsed in December. At the meeting, it was revealed that from the clubs affiliated, only five of 14 have paid their affiliation fee. Clubs, however, argued that they saw no point of subscribing to the BMS since it did not have an executive committee.
