Question NW3078 to the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
19 October 2023 - NW3078
Joseph, Mr D to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1). Whether he has found that the 2023 annual general meeting (AGM) of Cricket South Africa (CSA) was legitimate despite the fact that five unions that failed to be compliant in terms of the CSA constitution were allowed to vote for council members; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details. (2). What (a) has he found are the main reasons for the noncompliance of the five unions with the voting rules of the CSA AGM and (b) steps will CSA take to address the noncompliance of unions? NW4144E
Reply:
(1). As the Minister I am not in a position to indicate whether the CSA elections were legitimate or not because as per the National Sport and Recreation Act (NRS) I do not get involved nor interfere in administrative matters of National Federations unless a dispute is tabled for my attention.
(2.) (a&b) I have also not been informed of any non-compliance and therefore cannot pronounce on this matter.
THANK YOU
