BANNED: Why we didn’t cover Jozi Stars v Paarl Rocks MSLT20 match
Johannesburg - It was on November 21, while covering a Mzansi Super League match at SuperSport Park, that a very reliable source of mine at Cricket South Africa informed me of the following via WhatsApp: “I have heard they want to ban you from CSA events and stadiums.” “Are you serious?” I replied.
I’ve been informed subsequently that the ban was discussed, but quickly dismissed, apparently at the same meeting where it was first raised. Then last Wednesday I interviewed Cricket South Africa’s Head of Media and Communications Thamie Mthembu. My first contact with Mthembu was about the suspension of three of CSA’s senior administrative officials at the end of October. Our conversation was brief.
Last week after days of having calls ignored, Mthembu finally picked up the phone and I asked him about the resignation of another senior official and also what was happening regarding the appointment of a Director of Cricket, a convenor of selectors and a selection panel for the senior men’s Proteas team.
