Cricket South Africa have not been able to secure a sponsor for the Twenty20 series against Australia and have given the exclusive title rights to a charity organisation instead. In the aftermath of the yet-to-be-resolved bonus scandal, corporates have veered away from associating themselves with the body, and only Castle Lager have remained as backers of the Test and ODI teams. As a result, the T20 team, all international events and two of the three domestic competitions are without sponsors.
CSA sponsors two long, Standard Bank and MTN mobile phone company has agreed to disclose its sponsorship agreements with Cricket in the offseason. Standard Bank said the move is in line with the cancellation of all sports sponsorships, while MTN declined to give a reason for his retirement. Since then, the bonus scandal resulted in his second year and CSA were unable to make any new business on board.
Instead, the CSA has the Make a Difference (MAD) Rights Foundation title of the series for free, and allows the Foundation to promote themselves both games, as a way to give back to the community. The organization strives to give children a talented but academically disadvantaged the opportunity to get a good education, something the CSA sees the closure of its development goals. "An important aspect of the CSA is always a mentoring and development of young players to become the best cricketers in the world. Folli and shares the same vision," said Maloja.
South Africa ODI and T20 captain, AB de Villiers, who has not played in the series, because the finger injury is the Ambassador of MAD, when being introduced to the organization through a former rugby hero Francois Pienaar.
Richard Glover, commercial director of the CSA, said many companies had expressed interest in sponsoring cricket in different qualities, but they wanted to hold off until "the line was less bonus scandal." As the season approached, only to continue their relationship with the Castle Lager, Glover, remained confident that the CSA would have assured the sponsors before the season started. 20. September, ESPNcricinfo said that "the patronage T20 Series is sure to be announced" against Australia.
However, the CSA's internal struggle going on, and the sponsor has been published. Reliable sources have confirmed that four companies have been asked to put negotiations on hold until the CSA, their problems are solved. This could happen as soon as Saturday, when President Mtutuzeli Nyoka faces a second motion of censure.
Five of the eleven provincial unions - State of residence, free, Boland, Eastern Province and Eastern - have confirmed their support for the motion against Nyoka. Pike said he would vote against, but it is understood that at least one union is in favor of the motion, and Nyoka is set to be removed from office.
This should stop the constant battle with him and CEO Gerald Maloja that began when the Rand 4700000 (671.428 USD) was paid in bonuses, after South Africa hosted the 2009 IPL and Champions Trophy. Payments are processed through the remuneration committee of the CSA (Remco) and Nyoka requested an external audit carried out to investigate them.
CSA held an internal audit that cleared Majola and Nyoka illegally dismissed three months later. Nyoka the remedy, and when he was reinstated, also won the right to the financial statements of the CFS into account. KPMG, which conducted the investigation recommended that the CSA for legal advice after discovering that Majola is violating the Companies Act four times, and the opinion was sought Azhar Bham attorney. Majola was severely reprimanded by the General Meeting in August and CSA is committed to improving corporate governance practices, but denied the request for copies of Nyoka audit report and legal advice.
They have since met Nyoka and his lawyer to show him the two documents, but also said he has violated the protocol and the media are more likely to be their president. If it is removed on Saturday, the CSA of 15 months long saga draws to a close, but unsatisfactory for some, the day before the second T20 against Australia. He leaves a too short period to approve the sponsorship.
No, not yet published information on when the CSA sponsors ODI series in Australia or in a national competition in one day and twenty-over. SuperSport continued to support a first-class competition in accordance with the business of television rights.
