Former leg-spinner Eddie Leie, who alleged he suffered depression as a result of discrimination and racism he experienced during his time in the Free State with the Knights, says the Bloemfontein-based union unlawfully withheld money due to him and he ...
Leie said Herman Beukes, who was the union’s financial manager at the time, refused to pay the money.
“When I go through the statements now I see that there was a deduction on his [account] for accommodation for an amount of R2,500 for over eight months. That was the R20,000 that was reallocated to the union.“The problem I might have is that the franchise that employed Eddie is now dissolved, with the new cricket structure in place. But if monies are due to him I will definitely take it to the previous board.
