Proteas head coach Mark Boucher has apologised for singing offensive songs and using racist nicknames during his playing days in an affidavit submitted to the Cricket South Africa's Social Justice and Nation-Building (SJN) committee.
Boucher was responding to allegations levelled against him by former spinner Paul Adams, who last month said at the hearings that he was subjected to racial discrimination and name-calling during his time with the national team.
While Boucher denied giving Adams the racist moniker, he did "apologise unreservedly for any offensive conduct, real or perceived".
Current Skipper Temba Bavuma confirmed that Boucher had spoken to the team, providing "clarity and context" on the charges against him.
Meanwhile, Cricket South Africa says it has noted media reports about the resignation of Proteas assistant coach, Enoch Nkwe.
CSA says Nkwe has indeed signalled an intention to resign and that they are currently engaging with him about his future.
