BusinessLive reports that Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa has told the Cricket SA (CSA) interim board that its chair, retired judge Zak Yacoob, must go.
The minister met the board on Wednesday and communicated his desire for Yacoob to step down from his position for bringing the CSA into disrepute. Mthethwa was stunned after he read a newspaper report and then listened to the audio of the volley of insults Yacoob fired at Arena Holdings journalist Tiisetso Malepa during a heated interview. The minister was also not happy with the way the former judge dealt with suspended CSA acting CEO Kugandrie Govender. Dr Stavros Nicolaou will serve as acting chair until the end of the interim board’s term of office on February. A disciplinary hearing against Govender is set for 28 January following her suspension in December on three counts of alleged misconduct. But, in two letters of grievance she claimed unfair treatment on the part of Yacoob. This allegedly included an impromptu vote of no confidence in her as acting CEO. When the vote was not resolved, Yacoob allegedly offered her R5,000 of his own money to seek legal counsel.
