Cricket SA (CSA) ended its long search for a new CEO, announcing Pholetsi Moseki, who had been acting in the position, as the organisation’s new boss on Wednesday.
CSA board chair Lawson Naidoo and lead independent director Steven Budlender SC made the announcement at the organisation’s headquarters alongside the new permanent CEO.
“Pholetsi has displayed extraordinary dedication and commitment since he joined the CSA family in 2019,” Naidoo said.
“He has been the key link in the leadership chain at CSA, especially during challenging periods. He has played a key role in getting the organisation moving in the right direction.”
Moseki joined CSA as chief finance officer in 2019 and stepped up to the CEO role on an acting basis in December 2020.
CSA employed three acting CEOs since Thabang Moroe was suspended in December 2019. Jacques Faul and Kugandrie Govender occupied the role before Moseki’s appointment.
Naidoo said Moseki’s performance will be benchmarked against set targets and key performance indicators.
“The path to finding a new CEO has been a critical component in the process of fixing cricket from the ground up and setting us on a path to renewal and growth,” Naidoo said.
Moseki said he is honoured to have been given the opportunity.
“I’m acutely aware of the challenges that lie ahead, but also know that together we are stronger, and we can ensure the game we all love reaches new heights.
“I thank the CSA family and board for putting their trust in me and look forward to helping ensure cricket is the ultimate winner.”
