Total income for 2016 rocketed to R85.78-million an increase of just more than R68-million on the R17.72-million Investment income was R91 000 (R50 000 in 2015). 4. Operating costs in 2016 were R12.64-million more than double in 2015. 5. The R18-million surplus is mainly generated because of an adjustment of R2.69- million for the VAT account adjustment which was negotiated with SARS and bigger sponsorships and grants received. 6. The increase in sponsorships is mainly due to amounts received from the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) and licences from Old Mutual. 7. A major breakthrough was settling two major debts that had threatened to bankrupt the federation in recent years the R10.4-million ASA was ordered to pay by a court to injured pole-vaulter Jan Blignaut and R6-million owed to SARS.
