    20 OCTOBER - 26 OCTOBER 2013 TOURNAMENT CONFIRMATION PACKAGE www.worldindoorcricketfederation.com 01 Dear World Indoor Cricket Federation participants I would like to extend a warm South African welcome to all players, managers and officials taking part in the Indoor Cricket Masters World Series 2013. The tournament will take place in the Gauteng province which can be considered as the sporting hub of the African continent. South Africa has played host to a few major sporting world cups in the past, the largest three being the Soccer, Cricket and Rugby world cups, so we have developed a reputation for hosting fantastic international Indoor Cricket events. Gauteng Province is situated a stone throw away from some of the most spectacular tourist destinations we have, so visiting some of these before or after the tournament would be an experience not to be missed. There are a host of game reserves within a 3 hour drive where you could get a true experience of the famous African Bushveld. There you would be able to see the “big 5” which are the Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo, in their natural environment. We will also be situated two hours away from Sun City, South Africa’s version of Las Vegas. Sun City is best known for playing host to the $2 mill golf tournament, five star hotels and casino’s all nestled into the Pilandsberg game reserve where you will also find the “Big 5”. Indoor Cricket or “Action Cricket” as it is better known in South Africa is one of the fastest growing sports in this sport mad country.

  • Table Mountain National Park Position Statement: Tokai and Cecilia Plantations
    Table Mountain National Park Position Statement: Tokai and Cecilia Plantations Date: 2016-08-30 The devastating March 2015 fires which burnt Upper Tokai plantation have refocused the public's attention on the future of the area. Over the past few months a range of letters, opinions, SMSs, advertisements and campaigns have been published and aired in the media and other platforms on the safety issue and status of remaining plantations in the Lower Tokai area of the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). The facts pertaining to the harvesting of plantation trees are: 1. Tokai and Cecilia are not natural forests but commercial plantations established in the early 1900s by government to provide timber for industry. Fynbos was eradicated in these areas to make way for these plantations. 2. The decision to phase out commercial plantations on the Peninsula was not made by SANParks but by central government in 1999. As the then Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, stated in Parliament at the time “…a thorough, Cabinet endorsed process was followed that led to the decision to end commercial forestry at these locations, and assign the land to SANParks.” 3. The Minister also stated that it is not possible to revisit the decision to end commercial forestry as “…legal commitments are in place...” and “…neither is it considered desirable to do so.” 4. The plantations are not being removed because they are alien to the Cape; they are being harvested as a planted crop grown on a commercial basis. Furthermore, the plantations are not being harvested by SANParks but by a private company, MTO Forestry, which was awarded the public tender by then Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) in 2004.
