After the CSA members’ council‚ its high decision-making authority‚ had acceded to the demands of the interim board appointed by Mthethwa for a majority independent board‚ Sascoc asked to meet CSA on an unscheduled date.
He further told Sascoc that the process he was undertaking at CSA was in line with the powers bestowed on him by section 13 of the National Sport and Recreation Act. A source said Mthethwa decreed that no other party except his office could discuss CSA matters. A CSA special general meeting was scheduled for Saturday from 3pm where the members would require a 75% majority for the amendments to be passed.
“Mhlonishwa [Excellency]‚ a letter has been urgently brought to my attention by the cricket community concerned about the assertions made in the attached letter presumably by yourself and the possible consequences thereof‚” Ramela wrote to Mthethwa‚ adding he would “only engage the contents of this letter in relation to the constitutional effect‚ thus the current legal standing of CSA since the submission of this letter”.
He wrote: “To say CSA’s primary relationship is with the ICC‚ not [with] Sascoc‚ is to denounce the legislative authority of Sascoc over CSA‚ and such an assertion can be exploited against the national interest of the game.”“The game of cricket has [had]‚ and continues to have‚ severe challenges administratively. However‚ despite the good intentions of the honourable minister in fixing the game of cricket‚ there is no room to do so outside the ambits of the law.
