CyclingSA will encourage increased diversity through the constitution of the National Federation and that of its affiliates.
CyclingSA will set goals to continue the transformation of cycling in South Africa through the National Development Plan over a four-year period. For ease of planning, this will coincide with an Olympic Cycle.
CyclingSA will communicate to its members and partners its plans and monitor the progress of achieving goals.
Through its mandate as the custodian of the sport of cycling, CyclingSA will ensure that there will be open access to all those who wish to participate in the sport and that they are treated fairly.
