Western Province Athletics move to replace board member arrested for fraud

Allen Barnes‚ the organisation’s financial representative‚ was arrested up-country last Friday and appeared in a Gauteng court on Monday‚ Western Cape police spokesman Col Andre Traut said.Barnes went missing after leaving his Cape Town home on January 4.

After initial fears that he might have been the victim of a crime‚ police ascertained Barnes had visited the Grand West casino before driving to Cape Town International Airport.Four days after Barnes’ disappearance WPA released a statement saying the board had found irregularities and had opened a case with police.

On Tuesday WPA said in a communique to members it was staging an SGM on February 6 to discuss the “removal of ... Barnes as a WPA board member and for him to be recalled from all WPA structures”. The meeting would also look into the “investigation into possible non-compliance of WPA corporate governance of the current and previous board of WPA‚ with specific focus on financials”.The WPA document cited various constitutional clauses‚ including one detailing the suspension of members who engage in misconduct or “have unjustifiably violated the constitution or rules of WPA”.

Neither WPA president Jakes Jacobs nor the police would say how much money was involved in the fraud.
