Cricket SA decides to fire Thabang Moroe

After months of speculation and an ongoing forensic investigation, Cricket SA has finally decided to fire its former CEO, Thabang Moroe.

The ugly saga surrounding Cricket South Africa’s former Chief Executive Officer, the controversial Thabang Moroe, has finally come to a conclusion.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced yesterday afternoon that its Board of Directors resolved to terminate the employment of Moroe as Cricket South Africa’s Chief Executive Officer.

This termination of employment is with immediate effect.

CSA’s decision was based on expert external legal opinion supported by the findings emanating from an independent forensic investigation.

The independent forensic investigation revealed that Moroe had committed acts of serious misconduct which warranted the sanction of dismissal.

According to a statement from CSA, Moroe was offered sufficient opportunity to provide representations to the independent forensic auditors and to the Board regarding the allegations of misconduct, which opportunity he failed and/or refused to utilise.

Kugandrie Govender will continue in the acting chief executive officer role until such time as Cricket South Africa recruits a chief executive officer.
