Coronavirus: 'Mantshwabisi' cancelled

The decision was taken after a digital meeting between the South African Cross Country Series (SACCS) and the BTO this week. Mantshwabisi was scheduled for June 26 to 28, 2020 in Selebi-Phikwe.

"First and foremost our priority is the health and safety of fans, teams and organisations, as well as the wider society. We apologise to those fans affected by the cancellation of the TDR1000 as well as the postponement of the other races to date. This decision has been taken in rapidly changing and evolving circumstances, but we believe it is the right and necessary one," SACCS chief executive officer, Archie Rutherford said in a press statement. BTO chief executive officer, Myra Sekgororoane said due to seasonal changes, the popular event could not be postponed to a later date.
