Cricket: Under fire Majola pleads innocence

JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa Chief Executive Gerald Majola maintained that he was innocent after a ministerial inquiry recommended that he be suspended and made to repay R1.75 million distributed as bonuses. The inquiry ruled that Majola had committed a breach of the Companies Act while allocating the aforementioned bonuses in connection with the 2009 Indian Premier League and Champions Trophy. “Everybody knows that I declared the money at a board meeting,” said Majola. “The only thing I did not do was to put it in writing.”
