Johannesburg: Aug 11, 2012
Willie Basson, acting President of the Cricket South Africa (CSA), said on Saturday that the board will be restructured, which consists of 11 members.
Of the 11 members, five are independents, five non-independents and the CEO.
The new board’s chairman will be one of the independent directors and the vice-president will be both the president of CSA and of the Member’s Forum.
The vice-chairman will represent CSA at the International Cricket Council (ICC) and at other different international events.
“We will now take the board decisions to all our relevant stakeholders,” Basson clarified.
“I am confident that we are on target to implement all our decisions in time for our annual general meeting in October this year,” Basson was quotd as saying by the www.iol.co.za.
A joint meeting was held by the board of directors in Johannesburg which discussed all the major issues and how recommendations by the Nicholson committee of inquiry will be implemented.
“I believe we have stayed close to the Nicholson recommendations and, where we have deviated, it is easily defendable,” Basson expressed.
“The legal process is also well on track and the disciplinary hearing of Gerald Majola should be completed by mid-October.
“I was highly encouraged by the cohesiveness with which the Board dealt with these contentious issues and moved the process forward rapidly,” he concluded.
