Cricket South Africa (CSA) has unveiled Enoch Nkwe as the new director of cricket.
During the announcement on Thursday, the organisation also announced the appointment of three new executives to lead the organisation.
Nkwe returns to CSA ten months after stepping down from his position as assistant to Mark Boucher.
He will be taking the role formerly held by Graeme Smith, who left at the end of March after the expiration of his contract.
Nkwe, who was previously the technical director at the Lions as well as interim team director at the Proteas, also won the Mzansi Super League for the Jozi Stars as head coach in 2018.
Alongside Nkwe, CSA also announced the appointment of three other executives with Wanele Mngomezulu joining as CMO, Mtunzi Jonas as CCO and Tjaart van der Walt as CFO.
“CSA is intentional in turning the corner and reaching greater heights. The appointment of these executives is intended to strengthen CSA’s resolve and anchoring the administration with the best expertise on offer,” CSA CEO Pholetsi Moseki said in a statement.
“I am delighted that CSA has attracted this calibre of talent, which will change the fortunes of the organisation into the future.
“It is against this background that I congratulate the appointees for making it through the stringent recruitment process, which merited their appointments.”
Nkwe begins his new role on 1 July 2022 while the other three executives will join on 1 August 2022.
