Match-fixing report delayed

CAPE TOWN, JUNE 29. The deadline for an interim report into cricket match-fixing in South Africa has been extended to August 11, an official of the King's Commission of inquiry said today.

Judge Edwin King, who heads the commission, was due to hand the report to the President, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, tomorrow, but has been given more time to prepare it due to the work-load generated at the inquiry, which adjourned on Monday.

The Commission Secretary, Mr. John Bacon, said today: ``The sheer volume of work involved is the cause of the delay. There are 1,143 pages of transcripts of evidence alone from the 10 days of hearings... that does not include copies of statements and other documents.''
