Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) acting president Beresford Williams has told Parliament that a forensic audit and investigation report into board and management practices at the ailing organisation is not ready to be presented to the sport, arts and culture portfolio committee as scheduled.
The crisis-riddled CSA was scheduled to brief the committee on Friday on the findings and recommendations of the independent forensic investigation conducted by Fundudzi Forensic Services, including an update on the suspended CEO Thabang Moroe, who is in his ninth month on fully paid suspension.
But Williams wrote to the committee on Wednesday, on the eve of the presentation, and asked for a postponement, claiming that the organisation’s audit and risk committee received a “draft final report” on July 31 and have not had enough time to consider its findings and recommendations.
He also contradicted his predecessor Chris Nenzani when he dropped a bombshell and told the committee that the CSA board has not shared the report with the Members of Council. The organisation’s highest decision-making body that initiated the independent forensic investigation.
