SuperSport appoints SC to probe Ashwin Willemse 'walk-off'
Ashwin Willemse, Nick Mallet and Naas Botha will not be appearing on our TV screens for the foreseeable future.
That is the message from Supersport management. The trio's involvement in analysing rugby matches is now dependent on the outcome of a review process.
The broadcaster has appointed Advocate Vincent Maleka to chair the review and make recommendations to management.

All three presenters will be paid as per their contracts during this time.
It is unknown who will take up their positions for this weekend's round of fixtures. Supersport says it will make an announcement as soon as a panel of experts is decided upon.
