Fundi steps doon

To all members of the racing community, sponsors, media and all other stakeholders


4Racing confirms that Fundi Sithebe has decided to step down as CEO.

After dedicating herself fully to the role for four challenging years, the increasing demands on her time and personal life have led her to reassess her career direction. In recognition of her outstanding contributions and commitment to our transformation, Fundi will remain in her role until the end of May 2025, ensuring a stable and well-managed transition as she sees out the Champions season. 


The Board remains committed to the ongoing success, transformation, and stability of 4Racing and will work closely with Fundi during her remaining tenure to ensure a seamless handover and to identify future leadership that can build on the remarkable progress achieved thus far. Further details regarding changes in our executive oversight will be communicated in due course. We thank our partners, regulators, and the broader horse racing community for their continued support during this transition.

I don't think this is a good sign 🤔 

Racing is under pressure at the moment and hope someone has a master plan to reverse the trend ...🙏

If she managed to get Gauteng Gambling onboard then her tenure was positive.

Interesting to see where she resurfaces after May 2025

Alot of talk about transformation but still no explanation as to why no racing until today. The punter funds the game transformation is great but it doesn't pay the bills. There is more concern in these statement for transformation than anything else remotely related to the challenges faced and what's being done to address them
