Suspended Cricket South Africa (CSA) acting CEO Kugandrie Govender alleges she was verbally harassed by Justice Zak Yacoob, the embattled organisation’s interim board chairperson.

A disciplinary hearing against Govender is set for January 28 following her suspension last month on three counts of allegations of misconduct.

On Wednesday, Yacoob reacted angrily in a telephone discussion with TimesLIVE. He said: “You are a dishonest, irresponsible idiot. You are a rogue and dirty journalist. I prefer not to answer your questions and to air my views when the enquiry comes up [on January 28].”
