JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) has made Thabang Moroe, its acting chief executive for the past year, permanent with immediate effect. He will serve a three-year contract.
Moroe has been acting CEO since September last year when Haroon Lorgat was forced out following a breakdown in his relationship with the CSA board after South Africa’s proposed T20 Global League ran into major controversy.
“Mr Moroe’s appointment follows a thorough and rigorous process to fill this important position,” commented CSA president Chris Nenzani. “I would like to express my appreciation to the sub-committee of the board as well as my colleagues on the board who have brought this matter to a highly satisfactory conclusion.
“Mr Moroe has done an excellent job over the past year in taking over this position in circumstances that were far from ideal.
“In congratulating him on his appointment I look forward to his continuing the path set out by his predecessor of achieving our goal to be the best run sports federation on the continent and to be among the best in the world.”
In October the CSA said the T20 league, set to run from November 3 to December 16, would be postponed for a year because the failure to secure a suitable broadcast package and title sponsor meant the governing body stood to lose about $25 million, Reuters reports.
