Former Sharks CEO wants to defend himself

Former Sharks CEO Brian van Zyl, who retired last year, called for the audit report conducted by KPMG, which suggests allegations of maladministration at the franchise, to be made public as soon as possible.

It is understood that the allegations revolve around unauthorised benefits being handed to at least one senior staff member, but could spill over into other areas of the company.

The report is known to contain allegations of non-disclosure of benefits to people in the organisation.

Van Zyl has asked for the report to make public so that if he is pin-pointe dint he allegations then he can defend himself.

“This uncertainty is not good for the players, the administration, and the staff who were there at the time the new management took over,” said Van Zyl.

“It’s almost as though we are being held to ransom, which is totally unfair.

“If the report has been released for heaven’s sake let’s know what is in there. Surely that’s not a lot to ask?

“I believe I have been defamed. If I have, I am certainly not going to take any allegations lying down.”
