Former South African administrator Ashton Dunjwa dies

African Cricket Board (SAACB) administrator Ashton Dunjwa has died at the age of 82.

Dunjwa, who was based in Cape Town during his administrative career, became a member of the SAACB executive in 1969 and was its president in 1976 when it formed an alliance with the South African Cricket Association and a splinter group of the South African Cricket Board of Control to form the South African Cricket Union.

During Dunjwa's administrative career, the SAACB started the John Passmore Week for high schools at provincial level with the select Passmore XI going on to play at the Nuffield Week. He also managed the African team that toured Zimbabwe in the early 1970s.
