TimesLIVE reports that the gloves came off on Thursday after suspended Cricket SA (CSA) CEO Thabang Moroe reported for duty and accused the governing body’s president, Chris Nenzani, of contravening the organisation’s disciplinary procedures during the process of his suspension.  

Moroe said in a lawyer’s letter addressed to Nenzani and CSA on 8 June that the president was in contravention of the organisation’s disciplinary codes and procedures when he suspended the CEO via a phone call on 5 December 2019 without indicating the length of the suspension nor serving him with a letter of suspension.  Moroe also accused Nenzani of not having given him an opportunity to give reasons why he should not be suspended‚ as per the organisation’s policy.  Moroe received a suspension letter only in late January.  According to Moroe’s lawyer‚ Nenzani was in contravention of the CSA disciplinary code when he informed the CEO via another phone call that the suspension would last for six months from 5 December.  The CSA had until the end of business on 9 June to respond to the letter.  Apparently, Moroe’s access card was deactivated when he was suspended, and management inside CSA’s Melrose Estate premises had to be alerted of his presence at the gates on Thursday.  After waiting outside‚ Moroe was finally let in.
