Majola's legal team has been calling for the chairman of the disciplinary hearing, John Myburgh, to step down because he made a non-binding advisory award in favour of CSA even before the hearing started.
Following arguments that Myburgh would not give Majola a fair trial, the senior lawyer decided to step down, which is now expected to delay Majola's hearing even further as a new chairman is sought.
Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula was already angered at delays in the finalisation of the hearing by the end of May this year.
Mbalula had instituted the Nicholson inquiry into the financial affairs of CSA after almost two years of internal wrangling at CSA over the bonuses, received after the second edition of the IPL was played in South Africa due to security concerns over elections at the time in India. MORE
