Former Cricket South Africa chief commercial officer Kugandrie Govender, who was axed at the end of last month, believes that she was not afforded fair treatment during her time with the federation. By eshlinv | IOLsport
Govender was under scrutiny following controversy involving the revocation of certain cricket journalists’ media accreditation in 2019, while others accused her of being implicit in the alleged misconduct of former CSA chief executive Thabang Moroe.
After being appointed to CSA in 2019, Govender said she had hoped to improve the state of women’s cricket in South Africa, but believes there are still forces within the embattled organisation that are hindering the creation of an equal playing field along racial and gender lines. “I thought that what I had experienced as a black female administrator was restricted to the boardroom. From the testimonies, it appears that racism and sexism allegedly extended to the field. I have sobbed openly during these SJN hearings. Allegations or not, these are the lived experiences of people and it has been soul crushing to listen to. So, am I surprised at the level of discrimination? If you had asked me a year ago, I would have said yes. Today I am not surprised,” she said.
