I've been out so haven't yet engaged with the people saying Multichoice has been in the game and done nothing wrong so no conflict.
A conflict doesn't have to result in wrongdoing to be wrong. Just being in a position of potentially exerting undue influence makes it a conflict.
The mere fact that Multichoice has the Diski Challenge, Is a broadcaster and also has Supersport is a massive conflict of interest.
The fact that they haven't done anything untoward with that influence is immaterial. They're still in an unfair position of Influence.
An example which we all know of is the Duke. That is most definitely a major conflict of interest and year in year out, we see decisions made which bring into question, the independence of the league.
It was also said that the other clubs aren't disadvantaged by the position that Multichoice holds as a broadcaster, sponsor and club owner. My answer to that is they are disadvantaged by not being at the same level of influence. Each club chairman should have an equal voice.
The fact that some NEC members have close affiliations with some clubs is again a conflict of Interest.
If you're a government employee, you can't do business with the state, right?
