In another shocking turn of events, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has postponed its General Meeting of Shareholders, which was due to take place in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The AGM went to see the council of members vote on a new CSA chair and board.
A statement issued by CSA on Monday said there were certain “critical processes” that were under review and needed to be completed before the AGM could take place.

The statement highlighted “the review of Cricket South Africa’s governance model on outstanding issues recommended by the Nicholson Commission of Inquiry in its report” as one of the reasons for the decision, while another referred to the “review and implementation of the conclusions and recommendations made by Fundudzi Forensic Services Proprietary Limited (Fundudzi) in its report (Forensic Report) following the completion of the forensic investigation conducted by Fundudzi into various governance issues within Cricket South Africa over a period of 48 (forty-eight) months from 2016 to 2019 “

The organization, with Beresford Williams serving as interim president and Kugandrie Govender as interim CEO, will now seek greater engagement with the council of members on the various issues they had raised in preparation for the AGM.
Mthethwa, the statement added, as well as SASCOC and other CSA stakeholders will also be consulted with the hiring process for the now-extended board positions.
The statement added that there would be a “reconfiguration of the organizational structure to ensure that the corrective actions recommended by Fundudzi from the forensic review are implemented.”
No date has been set for the AGM.
“Accordingly, Cricket South Africa will announce a new date for the Annual General Meeting in due course. Notice regarding the Annual General Meeting will be distributed in due course,” the statement added.

“We apologize for the inconvenience caused to all concerned.”
