.OfficialCSA vs Sascoc: Wrapping up 24 hours of high-drama in SA sport. By: shockerhess | IOLSport
JOHANNESBURG - Cricket South Africa wants to meet the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee and Sascoc wants to meet Cricket SA.
Cricket SA is questioning the need for Sascoc’s task team and said in that 1am statement it would seek legal advice regarding the basis for Sascoc’s intervention. Sascoc described CSA’s refusal to fully avail it with the report as “wholly unreasonable and irrational.” It called for the Board of Directors and a handful of senior management officials including most notably the acting CEO Kugandrie Govender and the company secretary Welsh Gwaza all to “step aside,” on full pay while the task team completed its investigation.
Sascoc’s small task team - of no more than four people according to Govender - is also set to investigate CSA. The investigation said Sascoc won’t take more than a month to complete its work and must be paid for by CSA. Govender said Sascoc had no option but to bill CSA, because Sascoc “is cash strapped.”“Our funding has been cut due to various happenings at National Lottery and in the last four year cycle we lost R100-million a year.
On Saturday, CSA’s Members Council will begin a two day workshop. The forensic report is set to be a major topic for discussion, with representatives insisting that they be granted access to it.Meanwhile, Zaahier Adams reports that the International Cricket Council is keeping a watching brief as its South African affiliate lurches from one drama to the next. The ICC is likely to seek clarification from Cricket SA over Sascoc’s decision to take over the running of the game in the country.
