The infighting among South African cricket administrators continues unabated and – if the case is thoroughly analysed – it increasingly looks like a power struggle that is driven by a group fuelled by opportunism and ordinary political ideology.

Over the past 24 hours, two important role players have announced that they are both going to leave the battlefield by resigning with immediate effect.

Both of these resignations are probably an indication of the intensity of the fight, while it also indicates that the two people hereby want to send a message to the public and other stakeholders about the seriousness of the consequences if cricket cannot be saved from the renewed onslaught by greedy quasi sports administrators with a hidden agenda and other political wolves.

The prevailing President of the Members’ Council and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Cricket South Africa (CSA), Chris Nenzani, was the first to resign.

Nenzani has led Cricket South Africa since 2013.

Shortly after his resignation, CSA announced that he would be replaced by Beresford Williams until the AGM set for the 5^th of September 2020.

In the same statement in which Williams’s temporary appointment was announced, it was also announced that acting CEO, Dr Jacques Faul, has decided to end his secondment with immediate effect. His secondment was due to terminate on the 15 of September 2020.

Apparently Faul has put in place a detail transitional plan that will ensure the organisation makes a seamless transition to a new Acting CEO, that the board will advise on shortly.
