Naidoo led a delegation before the Portfolio Committee on Sports, Arts and Culture to report on CSA’s plans to implement recommendations from the Social Justice and Nation-building (SJN) findings. 

The organisation has been searching for a new CEO since Thabang Moroe was sensationally suspended in 2019.

Jacques Faul and Kugandrie Govender acted in the position before current acting CEO Pholetsi Moseki.

“We engaged the services of a recruitment company to assist us with the process and we received a number of responses but we are now with another agency and a new search is underway,” said Naidoo, as quoted by TimesLIVE.

“We then reached a stage where there was a shortlist of candidates who were interviewed but unfortunately we were unable to conclude an agreement and make the appointment.”

He went on to explain that the Moroe matter had been finalised through mediation. 

“In relation to the issue of the former CEO, that matter has been resolved,” said Naidoo.

“The matter was taken to arbitration and the termination of the former CEO’s contract was confirmed. We have had no further process in that regard.

“It was the conclusion of that process that enabled us to initiate the search for a permanent CEO.”

CSA also needs FIVE new management roles to be filled

Naidoo did not provide the committee with the names of the shortlisted candidates, as talks are still underway with the new recruitment company.

“This is a moving target,” he said.

Such is the utter shambles at that CSA is in, that not only is the position of CEO vacant, but FIVE more management roles are open after senior executives all vacated their posts following disciplinary steps!
