Tubby Reddy, the sacked chief executive of the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC), has submitted more than 700 pages of documents to the chairperson of the inquiry into allegations of misconduct at the national governing body.

The Ministerial Committees of Inquiry was established by South Africa's Sports Minister Thembelani Nxesi in August, at a time when Reddy was suspended following allegations of sexual misconduct.

Reddy was sacked on Tuesday (January 9) after a lengthy disciplinary process.

"I have made submissions to the chairperson of the Commission of inquiry and my documents are more than 700 pages‚" Reddy told Times LIVE.

"I am cooperating with them because I want an opportunity in a formal set-up to put my side of the story.

"In this Commission‚ the truth will come out."

The inquiry, which is expected to begin later this month, will be led by Judge Ralph Zulman with the support of Ali Bacher and Shamina Gaibie.

It will cover the allegations against Reddy but will mainly concentrate on claims of poor governance, financial mismanagement and non-adherence to the SASCOC constitution.

Reddy has vowed to fight his sacking, with his legal team saying earlier this week that the official had claimed the Disciplinary Committee process was a "sham".

It was also argued that he was not given the opportunity to present his side of the story.

"We always talk about how South Africa is a constitutional democracy, but I was not at the hearing‚" Reddy was reported as saying by Times LIVE at the SASCOC disciplinary hearing.

"I presented two medical certificates to show that I am not available to attend the hearing on the stipulated dates, but they decided to go ahead without me giving a proper opportunity to present my side of the story."

He added: "We presented a 427-page document to the chairman of the hearing.

"The whole thing was a joke and a farce.

"All I am asking for is a fair chance to prove my innocence."

Earlier this week, SASCOC published a letter outlining the reasons for the sacking of Reddy.

The letter, signed by SASCOC President Gideon Sam, also explained the reason for the dismissals of financial officer Vinesh Maharaj and Jean Kelly, a senior member of SASCOC staff under Reddy.

Sam stated that their Board and the Finance Committee received a number of reports regarding allegations of possible transgressions by staff members, which could contravene their constitution as well as policies and procedures.

It was claimed at a meeting last January that SASCOC would respond to the "changing environment, opportunities, threats, challenges and the multitude of allegations against SASCOC and its staff".

Sam reportedly met with SASCOC staff conveying the resolutions of the meeting and explained the role they would play in the "new direction".

The letter alleges Reddy opted not to attend the meeting.

SASCOC's Finance Commission reportedly told the Board about concerns on a monthly basis, with the organisation stating the negative publicity impacted their ability to attract funding.

A formal investigation was then established to investigate four allegations, including the "sudden changes to SASCOC's security service" and the "alleged involvement of staff in irregular governance activities".

Allegations also included a claim of sexual harassment made against Reddy, as well as "awareness of the so-called 'SS Griffin' report on the alleged bugging/tapping of phones and office communication".
