New Delhi, Nov 16 (Ians) Faced with a threat of sanction by sports minister Nathi Mthethwa, Cricket South Africas members council agreed to recognise the nine-member interim board, days after it had refused to accept the government-appointed body.
The decision ensures that the forthcoming series between England and South Africa, which begins on November 27, will be held as scheduled.
Mthethwa had threatened to strip the status of Cricket South Africa as the governing body of cricket in the country and have its funds withdrawn.
A report in ESPNCricinfo.com stated, "As long as the interim board is formally recognised (which should happen in the coming days in accordance with the Companies' Act) and Mthethwa is not needed to intervene again, the series against Sri Lanka, Australia and Pakistan will also be able to go ahead as planned."
The report added that the Csa members' council could still lodge a complaint to the Icc,...

Johannesburg, Nov 14 (Ians) England's cricket tour of South Africa later this month is in doubt after the Members' Council of Cricket South Africa (Csa) announced that it will not be appointing the Interim Board as suggested by the government.
The Council's decision to go against the government's order of appointing the interim board could invite sanction. It could mean that Csa will not have a right to field a team against visiting Englishmen.
Csa Members Council had recently held engagements with the proposed Interim Board of Csa, sports minister Nathi Mthethwa and members of the Department of Sport, Arts & Culture, the Members Council. They could not come to agreement on several points.
The South African government had, last month, appointed an interim nine-member board to run Cricket South Africa (Csa) after the entire board resigned.
The new nine-member interim board was to be chaired by Judge Zak Yaqoob and included former Csa chief Haroon Lorgat.

Johannesburg, Oct 30 (Ians) The South African government has appointed an interim nine-member board to run Cricket South Africa (Csa) after the entire board resigned earlier this week.
The new interim board will be chaired by Judge Zak Yaqoob and it includes former Csa chief Haroon Lorgat, according to reports in the South African media.
The committee also includes experienced administrator Andre Odendaal, who is the former Western Province and Cape Cobras chief executive. Omphile Ramela, Stavros Nikalo, Judith February, Andile Dawn Mbatha, Xolani Vonya and Nkeko Caroline Mampuru are the other members.
The Csa had been struggling following a damning internal report. Tensions between the South African national government and the cricket board had grown due to an investigation into the affairs of the cricket body.
Thabang Moroe was sacked from the Csa chief executive's post while Chris Nenzani tendered his resignation, both events happening in August this year.

District 9 2009, South Africa/New Zealand Directed by Neill Blomkamp Written by Neill Blomkamp and Terri Thatchell Starring Sharlto Copley, Vanessa Haywood, William Allen Young, Andre Odendaal 112 minutes Generally speaking, I don’t like to be lectured. It brings back painful memories of my childhood, when my father would continually admonish me for being untidy, killing the family pets, and digging up my dead sister for Saturday night ‘dates.’ I especially dislike preaching about race relations, because ever since flipping past The O’Reilly Factor while channel surfing, I’ve become convinced that only communist agitators and terrorists complain about racism. But I’ll make a special exception for director Neill Blomkamp’s District 9, because it mixes its didactic moralizing with giant bugs and the mechanized body armour from Robot Jox. The film, Blomkamp’s first feature, is an obvious but nevertheless effective metaphor for South Africa’s apartheid past,...
