War continues within Cricket SA as Members' Council Seek To Disband The Interim Board.

The interim board for Cricket South Africa has received a letter from the Members' Council. The letter raises concerning how the board was constituted. Also noted in the letter is conflict of interest regarding board member Haroon Lorgat.
 
On Sunday 8 November the board members as well as the Members' Council met with the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture Nathi Mthethwa where they raised the issues highlighted in the letter. CSA says they thought the meeting with the minister has settled the dust. However the board say the Members’ Council has shown itself unwilling to co-operate with this independent Board. 
 
We are of the view that the Members’ Council has acted in bad faith and contrary to the consensus it reached with minister Mthethwa at the end of October. 
 
The board says it views  the conduct of the Members’ Council is an attempt to stymie their . More so the CSA Board says they will continue with their mandate to restore the credibility of CSA as well as to work in the public interest and in the best interests of cricket in South Africa and will not hesitate to  take decisive steps against those who would undermine the work of this Board. 
 
The failures of corporate governance within CricketSA are well-known and the cricket-loving public has watched CricketSA lurch from crisis to crisis. The current situation is untenable and we are thus dismayed to be in receipt of what we can only describe as an obstructionist, legalistic. Says CSA Board
