Zinn‚ who joined CSA a year ago and served on the Human Resources and Remuneration subcommittee as one of five independent directors‚ said the association’s horrifying way wherein five writers were restricted from covering Mzansi Super League matches.

Sunday Times‘ story on former Proteas skipper Graeme Smith’s up and coming arrangement as the director of cricket and CSA’s CEO Thabang Moroe’s radio interview on Monday with regards to the purposes behind prohibiting journalists were a portion of the reasons that informed her resignation.

“There’s a lot of issues‚ some of them are being fixed‚ but one of them is the relationship with the South African Cricketer’s Association‚ the accreditation of journalists being withdrawn‚ which is something that I thought was an appalling approach in terms of dealing with journalists.

“I was absolutely shocked to see that and how that was authorised from a governance perspective in terms of who decided that that was the best step to follow‚” Zinn told SowetanLIVE.

“The Graeme Smith story in the Sunday Times was completely out of line and in terms of the accreditation issue‚ I heard it in the media and no one communicated that to me. If that happened‚ I certainly wasn’t on the list of the people who were spoken to about the matter.
