Jacobus Petrus Duminy (16 December 1897 – 31 January 1980) was a South African academic who became principal and vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Town.
[10][11][12] During his tenure as vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Town he resolutely opposed apartheid, sometimes at personal risk.
[13] As a cricketer, Duminy was a left-handed opening or middle-order batsman and a slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler.
[1] Duminy reappeared in first-class cricket in the 1927–28 South African season, playing for Transvaal in two matches against the MCC touring team.
[15][16] That led to his selection for the first Test of a five-match series: he was not successful in the match at Johannesburg with the bat, scoring 0 and 4, but his left-arm spin, used as the sixth bowler in the South African attack, broke up a second-wicket partnership of 230 between Herbert Sutcliffe and Ernest Tyldesley which took England's first-innings total past South Africa's with only one wicket down.
