South Africa’s nationally contracted players deserve a great deal of credit for speaking out about the dysfunctional organisation that is Cricket South Africa | By shockerhess IOLsport

In a very broad sense, South African sport is terribly administered. Athletes,when they succeed, do so in spite of the administrators, not because of them.

It emerged that senior officials at CSA, including the then CEO, Gerald Majola, had been pocketing bonuses illicitly. Cricket SA desperately tried to engage in a cover-up, but eventually, then Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula, chose to set up a Commission of Inquiry, headed by retired high court judge Chris Nicholson.

What CSA did was dilute Nicholson’s recommendations as far as the administration was concerned, shrinking the number of recommended independent directors from nine to five, while increasing the number of non-independent directors to seven. As was the case with Majola just over a decade earlier, the CEO, this time Thabang Moroe, would assume far greater responsibility with the Board seemingly practicing very little oversight.

The Board and the Members Council have been pitted against each other even though half of the Members Council sits on the Board.
