Cricket South Africa (CSA) has today shared its decision to exercise its step-in rights under its Memorandum of Incorporation (MoI) regarding governance matters at Border Cricket (Border) and Northern Cape Cricket Union (NCC).
This decision follows challenges in meeting obligations outlined in CSA Regulations, including failure to timeously submit unqualified audited financial statements and concerns around the general lack of adherence to standard governance practices.
As a result, the Boards of Border and NCC will be temporarily dissolved, with CSA-appointed Administrators stepping in to manage the affairs of the unions for the duration of this step-in period.
Experienced former Cricket Administrators Greg Fredericks and Jesse Chellan were appointed as Administrators. Fredericks is assigned to Border while Chellan is assigned to NCC. Their appointments are effective immediately.
CSA CEO Pholetsi Moseki noted:
“The decision was made after thoughtful consideration by the CSA Board and after extensive engagements with both Unions.
“We believe this step-in will help Border and NCC improve their operational, financial, and governance structures, ultimately strengthening their standing as CSA members moving forward.”
