Untold millions lost on Cricket SA’s long list of legal spats - The country’s cricketing overlords have seemingly become acquainted with every legal firm in Johannesburg
, will don all the protective cladding he can muster as he defends himself against accusations of “gross misconduct” by his employers, Cricket South Africa .Boucher’s former skipper, Graeme Smith, whose two-year stint as the CSA’s first director of cricket ended in March.
Boucher is not the only CSA employee who has been disciplined recently. So, too, have Welsh Gwaza, the former company secretary, and Kugandrie Govender, the former interim chief executive. This might be all in a day’s work for the CSA’s high-flyers but since disgraced former chief executive Thabang Moroe took over from Haroon Lorgat in 2017, the CSA has become a slave to the law, with representatives of Johannesburg’s leading legal firms flitting in and out of their Glenhove Road offices like the proverbial sandwich lady.
In its place, the CSA started the Mzansi Super League, a T20 competition loosely mirrored on the Indian Premier League and Australia’s Big Bash. All well and good, except that post-Lorgat, the CSA’s leadership decided it didn’t like SuperSport very much and gave the broadcast rights to that cash-cow, the SABC. Of course, they couldn’t pay.
The reason for doing so? The SACA believed that the CSA’s financial forecasts for the 2018-2022 broadcast rights and budgeting cycle were seriously off the mark and considered discussions about domestic restructuring premature. His heavy-handedness alienated others. The CSA and the Western Province Cricket Association got involved in a protracted kerfuffle in the latter half of 2019 over the ins and outs of footing the bill for developments at Newlands.
