Swimming South Africa in money trouble

Who isn’t, you might say, but according to the Sowetan, South African swimming is so cash-strapped that some staff members have already started looking for jobs after being told about the federation’s dire need for funding. Service providers have not been paid for three months, but the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Com.ittee has pledged to help out, to ensure that the swimming federation can prepare thoroughly for the 2012 London Olympics.
