Suspended Northern Cape Cricket CEO Thapelo January alleges that Cricket South Africa CSA got him suspended in retaliation for his assistance with the Special Investigating Unit SIU.
Speaking on Marawa Sports Worldwide, he says he was approached by the SIU to provide critical information related to alleged money-laundering and fraud within CSA and the NCC before his tenure.
"I disclosed sensitive and critical information to the SIU, which implicates the president of Cricket South Africa in serious allegations of money laundering and fraud."
"When I spoke to the agent of the SIU, it was just north of R13 million," he says.
He adds, "In retaliation, the President of Cricket South Africa has decided to use the whole myth of CSA to get me dismissed as the CEO of Northern Cape Cricket."
