The National Horseracing Authority is pleased to announce two senior appointments in the Department of Racing Control:-

Mr Deanthan Moodley has been appointed as the Chief Stipendiary Steward in Kwa-Zulu Natal with effect from 1 November 2019.

Deanthan, a qualified attorney, joined the NHA as a Stipendiary Steward in Johannesburg in 2015. After demonstrating a sound understanding of the Rules and the ability to lead from the front Deanthan was appointed to the position of the Senior Stipendiary Steward in Port Elizabeth in 2018, where he is a respected figure tasked with upholding the Rules and the values of the NHA.

Mr Langa Douse has been appointed as the Chief Stipendiary Steward in the Eastern Cape with effect from 1 November 2019.

Langa was first licenced as a Stipendiary Steward in Johannesburg in 1998 and subsequently formed part of the Kwa-Zulu Natal and Northern Cape Stipendiary Boards. He was promoted to the position of the Deputy Chief Stipendiary Steward in Central Provinces in 2010.

Langa subsequently spent some time away from the horseracing industry, before returning to the Central Provinces Stipendiary Board earlier this year.

The NHA wishes both Deanthan and Langa every success in their new positions.
