Mtutuzeli Nyoka grew up loving and playing the game of cricket. In 2008, he was appointed as the president of Cricket South Africa (CSA), a position he held until October 2011 when, after a protracted battle with the CSA board, he was dismissed. However, he continued to call for a commission of inquiry into irregularities in CSA. And when retired Judge Chris Nicholson conducted an investigation into CSA, his findings on the corruption and maladministration in the game were damning, particularly in terms of Gerald Majola.

In Deliberate Concealment, Nyoka shares his behind-the-scenes experiences and personal journey as events unfolded, including his own mistakes, the repercussions of the scandal on the game of cricket in South Africa, and his fight for the truth to prevail.

"This is an extraordinary story of one man’s courage and determination to seek the truth and make sure it saw the light of day." – GILES CLARKE, president of the England and Wales Cricket Board.

"During his tenure as president of Cricket South Africa, Mtutuzeli Nyoka fought almost alone to expose corruption and improve corporate governance within the higher echelons of South African cricket … For this the cricket community of South Africa owe him a great deal of gratitude." – DR ALI BACHER

Ruled by the dictatorial King Kutu – a man happy to grow his wealth, cultivate his lands and indulge his taste for women – the fictional African country of Doma has been plunged into lawlessness and violence and is plagued by rampant corruption. When Queen Anuba is brutally murdered, the king calls on Anday, a high-ranking member of the country’s police force who has long-standing ties with the royal family, to investigate the killing. Anday must set aside the betrayals and disappointments that have plagued his own life to solve the crime and, in the process, try to bring his beloved country back from the brink of disaster. A policeman turned leader, he finds himself instrumental in leading the people of Doma to rise up against their oppressor and flee to the neighbouring country of Gijuya where they hope for a better life. A hill of fools cleverly brings together a poetic and traditional storytelling style with the daunting challenges that contemporary Africa faces to create a compelling and memorable read that resonates with the complexity and beauty of Africa.
