An amount of over R2.2-million meant for stadium upgrades at North West Cricket (NWC) was misappropriated and governing body Cricket South Africa (CSA) allegedly knew of the missing funds for over a year but took no corrective or punitive action.

“The minutes provided a project status update of all projects as of 15 December 2017 and recorded NWC status as 70% complete with ‘Security and Access Control, Turnstile, Ticketing and CCTV and 50% complete with [Public seat – replacement or repairs].

“We noted that the drawdown request was dated 15 December 2017, however the purchase order and tax invoice was dated 8 December 2017 ,” the Deloitte auditors discovered." Prior started his tenure as NWC CEO in January 2018 and was replaced by incumbent HP Prinsloo after just 10 months in the job in October.

Prior succeeded Heinrich Strydom, who resigned in June 2017 to join the Dolphins as their CEO in Kwazulu-Natal after making the first application for the first loan.“If I recall correctly we had to submit an application to CSA by the end of May 2017. It was basically a few weeks before I finished at NWC,” Strydom said on Tuesday.
