Bacher defends bonus allegation

Former cricket administrator Dr Ali Bacher has shielded the R5 million bonus he received after successfully hosting the 2003 Cricket World Cup.

He has testified in the Nicholson Inquiry earlier today.

In 2011, Bacher was drawn into the saga when Cricket South Africa (CSA) CEO Gerald Majola said he had set the example.

The inquiry, chaired by former Judge Chris Nicholson, is looking into the financial affairs of CSA following an outcry over bonuses paid for the successful hosting of the 2009 Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament.

Bacher insists that the money he received was not an incentive but merely a contribution towards his low pension.
