The findings of an inquiry into Cricket SA (CSA) will be handed to Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula on Thursday, according to the ministry.
“The minister will meet with the whole inquiry committee in Johannesburg,” Mbalula's spokesman Paena Galane said on Wednesday.
“The committee will brief the minister on the report, from day one until now. They will also discuss how they are going to address the findings with CSA.”
Galane said the sports ministry would decide when to make the report public.
The inquiry committee, chaired by Judge Chris Nicholson, was announced by Mbalula on November 4 after auditing firm KPMG recommended that CSA's remuneration and travel allowance policy be reviewed.
A KPMG audit found that bonus payments had been kept secret from the federation's remuneration committee, and that CSA chief executive Gerald Majola had breached the Companies Act on at least four occasions.
Having received written submissions from CSA staff, former staff, cricket stakeholders and the public, the committee then heard numerous oral submissions over a three-month period.
The inquiry adjourned at the end of January and the sports ministry said a deadline had been set for the report to be completed by the end of February. – Sapa
