ASA whistle-blower suspended
The crisis within the sports body started after Magogodela first confided to ASA top brass about Evans's alleged actions, which included demanding cash to pay his rent in November last year.
Last week, Evans dismissed the allegations made against him as lies, but he has yet to address them publicly.
In March, several ASA board members tried to impeach Evans on the basis of these accusations.
At the time Evans countered by claiming there were irregularities in the office and he threatened to lay charges against Magogodela.
Evans, after a series of court battles with vice-president Hendrick Ramaala in the wake of the impeachment attempt, suspended several board members in April.
Sascoc swiftly stepped in, suspending the entire executive and putting ASA under administration.
The IAAF world governing body then entered the fray and forced Sascoc to return control of the organisation to Evans.
Sascoc retreated but immediately suspended the federation for poor governance, with a major implication being that athletes were excluded from Sascoc's funding programme with immediate effect.
Pieter Lourens, one of the ASA board members suspended by Evans in April, on Wednesday (3 July) said he had not been consulted about Magogodela's suspension.
Other board members were also in the dark about the whistle-blower's letter of suspension.
The letter had been signed by an official in ASA's human resources department.
Evans has not commented.
