Mathane served in various capacities at the federation, including as Acting President during a period of transition.
He was elevated to the position following the suspension of James Moloi, who was found to have used the federation's corporate credit card at bottle stores and to fund international trips for girlfriends.
Jean Vester has since been appointed interim acting head of the beleaguered federation.
