CSA members’ council appoints interim board
Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) interim board has been appointed following a week-long standoff.
The members’ council has initially refused to acknowledge the interim board, which was appointed by Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa and included the likes of retired justice Zak Yacoob and former CSA CEO Haroon Lorgat.
But in a statement on Tuesday, CSA acting president Rihan Richards confirmed that an amicable solution had been reached between the parties.
“The appointment follows a frank, honest and constructive engagement held between representatives from the Members’ Council and the Interim Board. Everyone agreed on the way forward and to collaborate, strictly in accordance with the relevant legal framework,” said Richards.
Speaking on behalf of the Interim Board, Judith February added, “The interim board regards this as a positive step and looks forward to work together to achieving the desired results.”
