“With the leadership of Mr. Nenzani, the CSA has grown since 2013. The Council Members noted that as per the Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI), the Vice President, Mr. Beresford Williams will now work as Members Council’s President until the appointment of a new President.”
In the month of December, Cricket South Africa had suspended the CSA chief executive officer, Thabang Moroe due to accusations of delinquency and Jacques Faul working as acting CEO. To date, the case of Moroe is unresolved. According to the report, after one hour of the suspension of COO of CSA, Nassei Appiah, Nenzani resigned.

Last month, 30 former cricketers of South Africa including Herschelle Gibbs, Makhaya Ntini, and Vernon Philander had joined the worldwide Black Lives Matter (BLM) campaign.
The cricketers involved in this campaign after Pat Symcox and Boeta Dippenaar criticized bowler Lungi Ngidi for supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. The development had led to Cricket South Africa “reaffirming” its complete support to the Black Lives Matter campaign.
