Prepare for fireworks. Warring parties on the divided SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) executive are scheduled to testify this week and next.
Further details of the boardroom battles - with president Gideon Sam on one side and fired CEO Tubby Reddy on the other - are likely to emerge when the ministerial committee of inquiry into the governance of Sascoc resumes tomorrow.
The one narrative is how Reddy, dismissed earlier this year after being found guilty of sexual harassment and other offences, was a law unto himself.
Merrill King, serving her second term on the Sascoc board, this week accused Reddy of wanting to make SA sport his own "little kingdom", and blamed him for the trigger-happy attitude when it came to taking costly legal action against federations or putting them under administration.
King's account fits well with the testimony of former Athletics SA (ASA) president James Evans, whose tenure was marked by warfare with Sascoc and his own board members in 2013 and 2014.
Evans was belligerent at the time, but this week he was measured as he recounted Sascoc's meddling in athletics, engaging in open warfare and when that failed, resorting to covert operations. Either way, he believed the footprints belonged to Reddy.
Many federations have been unhappy with Sascoc for various reasons over the years, but surprisingly few have come forward to the committee.
One of them, veteran administrator Ntambi Ravele, described how she, after speaking out at Sascoc council meetings, would be approached on the quiet by representatives from other federations that were too scared to talk.
Can it be that the 75 bodies that effectively own Sascoc are powerless to fight the hegemony? Is the tail wagging the dog?
King said when she stood for the Sascoc board in 2012, a board member phoned her with a deal: if she withdrew and voted for their preferred candidates, she would be co-opted onto the board.
King said her federation, Canoeing SA, accepted the deal. The exact preferred candidates were elected and she was co-opted.
Executive member Natalie du Toit, who felt Sam was the divisive figure in board meetings, testified that when Sascoc asked federations to make nominations to fill nine vacancies on the athletes' commission, they received a total of five replies.
Maybe the dog is sleeping on the job?..
