MSSA's Elected Office-Bearers for 2019.

Amanda Pakade, MSSA President, handing out medals at MSSA's 35th SA National Championships.

As usual Mind Sport South Africa's Annual General Meeting (AGM) saw elections being held for the various available positions.

All elections are done on a staggered basis. The system of doing the elections on a staggered basis allows MSSA to have a greater degree of stability as the entire Management Board is not able to be elected at any one time which preserves MSSA's continuity and knowledge base.

MSSA has  had a great track-record to date, and being the largest membership based organisation for esports in South Africa, the future looks exceedingly bright.

The new committee under the presidency of Amanda Pakade is looking at not only consolidating its gains to date, but also further increasing its footprint.

Gender equity and demographic representivity are also major concerns that shall be continued to be addressed in a positive and dynamic manner.

Attention shall continue to be directed towards enforcing proper structures for the regulation of coaching and umpiring.

The current elected office-bearers are:
