Langeveldt has been part of the Proteas coaching team since December 2019, under former head coach Mark Boucher and then interim coach Malibongwe Maketa during the recent Test series in Australia.

“Someone like Charl Langeveldt has already indicated that he’s going to be moving on,” Nkwe told News24.He’s been in the international space for the past four years, but he’s not necessarily lost to the system. 

“He’s looking at other opportunities because it is very hard for other coaches to sustain their well-being over a four- to eight-year period.

“We respect his decision, and he’s got an opportunity now with the Indian Premier League, but we’ll also look at ways of how he can add value to the system in a different role.”

Nkwe says he will be meeting with Maketa to discuss his future.

“We are in a process and we’re drafting clearer plans for him. We will be meeting him this week with [CSA high-performance manager] Vincent Barnes.

“It’s not just about the work in the high-performance environment, we also need to be realistic in terms of the plans for him for the next two years.

“He has played a huge role in our system, so he brings a lot of value, and we mustn’t forget that. We need to look at how he fits into the picture strategically over the next five years.”
