1. Introduction Boxing is a sport that has the capability to reach out to an entire nation and be supported and practiced by anyone. The sport contributes to physical, social and mental development of individuals, with many a success story to support this statement. As the Internationally recognised National body SANABO is responsible for the stewardship of a modern and exiting sport that demands great commitment from highly disciplined and talented athletes. South African Boxers have been representing their country at the Olympics since 1904. Our Boxers have won Gold, Silver & Bronze medals at previous Olympic Games (1904 1964), but we have yet to produce an Olympic medalist since our return to the International boxing arena in 1992. This is a major objective for amateur boxing, along with the broader development of our sport. We must increase the interest of boxing in South Africa. We recognise the financial support SANABO receives from the Department Sport and Recreation South Africa and the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund. SANABO is faced with many challenges and responsibilities that require the adoption of a dynamic and strategic approach to the planning and conduct of this sport. The SANABO Executive committee will be responsible for delivering the outcomes of the plan. I encourage all Provinces, Districts and Clubs to work together for the benefit of amateur boxing throughout South Africa (J. BARNARD) PRESIDENT: SANABO 3
