Cricket South Africa sack CEO Thabang Moroe

Cricket South Africa issued a statement a few moments ago, saying that their Board of Directors have decided to sack Thabang Moroe, who has been serving as Chief Executive officer.

CSA issued a statement which read, “Cricket South Africa’s decision was based on expert external legal opinion supported by the findings emanating from an independent forensic investigation. The independent forensic investigation revealed that Mr. Thabang Moroe had committed acts of serious misconduct which warranted the sanction of dismissal.

“Mr Thabang Moroe was offered sufficient opportunity to provide representations to the independent forensic auditors and to the Board regarding the allegations of misconduct, which opportunity he failed and/or refused to utilise. Ms. Kugandrie Govender will continue in the acting chief executive officer role until such time as Cricket South Africa recruits a chief executive officer.”

Less than two weeks ago, Kugandrie Govender was appointed as Cricket South Africa Chief Executive. Chris Nenzani had resigned from his role of president of CSA, three weeks before his term ended. Nenzani had been under increasing pressure in the face of administrative upheaval and left his post within hours of the organisation sacking its chief operating officer Naasei Appiah, and a day before the men’s national squad began a culture camp.
