Goodness me you sound like you know all the inside info? From that statement, it seems that the executive committee are taking steps in the right direction. Not all persons involved with CSA are bad.

Wie kan dit vergeet?????!!!!!!

i half forgot it, my memory is hazy

 

what happened again, someone spent gauteng cycling funds on building a swimming pool at their private home? are they still in cycling

 

what was the result in the end, gefaayad, jailtime, move on nothing to see hear, PBTM?

 

[Shebeen]

just had a quick squeak at financials

looks like executive pay went from R0 in 2012 to R500k in 2013 to R1m in 2014 and then plateaud from there.

staff salaries have decreased.

 

obviously a lot of people are volunteers, and this snapshot will be lacking in context.

Someone cooked the books, and built a swimmingpool for themselves. When this came to light, the chairman refused to press charges.

Your comment is good enough context: volunteers vs executives.

Close enough to a summary of the country's recent economic history.

 

Plenty encouragement for the spitting of spiders.

I guess it depends how you want CSA run, like a club with people doing it in spare time or for other motives, or do you pay someone to run it like a normal job.

 

Really tricky.

I don't know - I would have said the report should be released to paid-up CSA members as well.

 

"A full disclosure of the findings and steps taken will be shared with the relevant institutions and authorities, including the Department of Sport and Recreation, SASCOC and the UCI."

People generally want it run like a professional company but at volunteer rates...

Will be interesting to see what names come forward in pursuit of this poisoned chalice

Having seen what comes with other Sascoc associations first hand, its far far worse.

Unless some peeps were earning ridiculous amounts I don't really see the point of that type of post.

And while all this *** is going on we still have to pay them money.

well we have a choice albeit at the expense of our regional bodies that are doing a stirling job.

Fair comment given the track record no? 

Just read the release on an "internal investigation" ... smoke and mirror hyperbole. If the incumbent leadership cannot  show an open and frank communication, then it raises more questions than answers. Especially when there is a direct correlation to the resignation of the GM under a cloud. 

 

DnD didn't say anything anywhere near alluding that all CSA people are bad. Simply called for some kind of accountability. Entirely reasonable. 

Hopefully it does present some kind of turn around direction, there are some keenly committed people within CSA who volunteer their time and resources for all the right reasons.

 

This behind closed doors mentality needs to stop though. It's totally counter intuitive and just compounds mistrust. Not conducive to getting buy in from the public and build the membership that way.
