Cricket SA's former head of sales and sponsor relations Clive Eksteen is taking the governing body to the Commission for Conciliation‚ Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) for unfair dismissal just days after his sacking.
Eksteen was fired with immediate effect on Sunday after he was found “guilty of transgressions of a serious nature” following a lengthy disciplinary process.
He was acquitted of the three charges‚ which related to Saca‚ and was also exonerated in the fourth charge regarding a sponsorship deal between a sponsor and a broadcaster. The fifth charge Eksteen refers to is a sponsorship deal concluded between a multinational company and CSA for an amount allegedly less than had been approved by the governing body’s executive‚ which resulted in CSA losing out on some R1.7m in revenue.
Eksteen said the fifth count was unrelated to the Saca matter and accused CSA of misinformation after the governing body said he was found “guilty of transgressions of a serious nature”. Eksteen said the chair of the proceedings found that it was actually his involvement later on that was instrumental in getting Saca eventually paid.
Eksteen said the chairperson’s finding that revenue in the tune of R1.7m was lost was directly contradicted by the evidence of CSA’s employees. He accused the chairperson of bias.
