Should CSA have ignored tentative findings of racism against Graeme Smith or rejected them itself without a formal process? No, write Lawson Naidoo and Steven Budlender.

There have been a number of ill-informed and mischievous articles written in the aftermath of the arbitration hearing into former Cricket South Africa (CSA) Director of Cricket Graeme Smith.

We recognise that as the governing body, CSA needs to be both accountable to the public and willing to accept criticism. However, any evaluation of how CSA has handled its responsibilities needs to be fair and accurate.
