Cricket World Cup - Who lied and who did not lie

A storm broke after the semi-final about interference in the team selection by CSA leading to selection of the injured Philander ahead of Abbott as a bowler.   Subsequently CSA denied that there was any interference and claimed that the stories about interference were false and there was no interference.
However, the following evidence was given in the Sport Portfolio of Parliament:-

On June 2‚ Willie Basson‚ a member of an Eminent Persons Group who also sits on CSA’s transformation committee‚ told the Portfolio Committee for Sport and Recreation in Parliament that CSA had made — according to the minutes of the meeting — “mistakes” when they “sent a note to the team management on the eve of the (World Cup) semifinal‚ reminding them about CSA’s policy on demographic representation”.

The “note” led to Vernon Philander‚ who had bowled just 20.3 of a possible 70 overs in the tournament due to a hamstring injury‚ being included for the match against New Zealand‚ who won a tight contest.

The minutes record that Basson said a consequence of the issue was that “the administrators of CSA had allowed a wide distance to develop between themselves and the players’ association”.

He said “CSA would rectify that challenge by consulting players regularly to make them understand the purpose of the Transformation Charter”.   
So who was lying  - CSA or the newspapers reporting the scandal?
This may be beneficial insofar as the RWC is concerned.   Blatant interference in team selection may not  recur"
