CSA CEO suspended for misconduct

Johannesburg, December 6

Cricket South Africa (CSA) chief executive Thabang Moroe has been suspended following allegations of misconduct, just hours after the organisation’s major sponsor said they would not renew their contract.

CSA, which placed Moroe on what it termed a “precautionary suspension”, has been grappling with operational shortcomings and a possible players’ strike ahead of a home series against England. The decision follows reports received by the Social and Ethics Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee of CA “related to possible failure of controls in the organisation,” a statement from CA said.

CSA’s chairman has been mandated to look for an acting CEO for the duration of Moroe’s suspension. CSA will approach former ICC chief executive Dave Richardson to fill the role on a temporary basis. — Reuters
