Cricket South Africa’s Members Council has referred independent board director Dr Eugenia Kula-Ameyaw to its social and ethics committee following a late night Tweet against the financial services company Momentum, which announced it would not renew their ODI sponsorship deal. CSA have also apologised to Momentum for the Kula-Ameyaw’s conduct.
The Tweet, which was posted at 11:35pm on Tuesday and has since been deleted, appeared to remind Momentum of the money that CSA and other South Africans, including government, invest in the company and raised questions about its transformation record.
“Momentum forgets that we invest hundreds of million in Momentum in our SOE (State-Owned Enterprises) investments and pension funds. I remember asking for the BBBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) certificate in my other board. Just check before you make an irrational decision.”
CSA called the Tweet “unfortunate and unwarranted,” and “distanced itself,” from its contents.
