Nyoka given the boot

Johannesburg - Cricket South Africa's president Mtutuzeli Nyoka, was ousted by the federation's members forum at a meeting held in Johannesburg on Saturday morning.

Nyoka declined to attend the meeting on the advice of his lawyers, citing short notice as the excuse, but his absence could not prevent an overwhelming majority of the 11 affiliate presidents supporting a motion of no-confidence in him.

With immediate effect, Nyoka's position has been terminated and the forum resolved to request AK Khan, the current vice-president of CSA, to act as president until the election of a new president at the Annual General Meeting in August 2011.
