Johannesburg: Embattled Cricket South Africa (CSA) chief executive Gerald Majola could face a fine, jail term, or both if he is found guilty of having breached fiduciary responsibilities of his position.
Majola find himself in serious trouble after details emerged as to how the independent forensic audit by KPMG queried 15 flights for the CSA chief and his wife as well as hotel stays that appear not to be linked to cricket board activities.
According to KPMG in the report not fully released by CSA but leaked to the media, Majola “failed to provide satisfactory explanations or documentation relating to the trips undertaken by him and his wife (Phumla Majola) to justify that such costs were incurred while on CSA business.”
As CSA prepared to garner legal advice on the KPMG report, Majola ended months of silence on the allegations of fund misappropriation this week by issuing a statement in which he called on the media to stop reporting that there were funds missing from CSA coffers. Majola had earlier repaid to CSA undeclared bonuses he received from the IPL. (PTI)
