PRESIDENT When one reflects on the past season it is clear to see that our core business of cricket is heading in the right direction.

Our Franchise team, the Hollywoodbets Dolphins, had shown a sense of maturity and commitment. We reached two finals and ended up joint winners in one format. Both our provincial teams had successful seasons which saw both Coastal and

Inland win competitions.

In the past season the Kwazulu Natal Cricket Union continued to produce players for the national pipeline. The highlights were 5 Protea players, 4 SA “A” players, 3 SA Academy players, 2

SA U/19 players and 1 SA women’s team player.

With regards to the CSA scorecard, we ended up as the most improved member, which took us to third overall. We were also first in governance, first in Youth cricket administration and first in the Hubs program. In true teaching parlance, I am going to say the following: The Kwazulu Natal Cricket Union had performed admirably throughout the past season, however, I still believe that the Kwazulu Natal Cricket Union has the ability to perform even better. There is room for improvement.

'S This can only be achieved by developing and nurturing our homegrown talent. Our academy continues to produce stars for the future and competes with the best in the country.

The various teams that we have, have adopted an attitude of a winning culture. The desire to play for and perform for the Dolphins and our amateur teams has become great. All our players now MESSAGE believe that it is not your right to play for us but an honour. Our badge has meaning and it has purpose. To all our coaches, I must congratulate you and say thank you. However, hard work, dedication, perseverance, consistency and self-reflection breeds success.

Club cricket remains a challenge and we need to take a hard look at what Club cricket has to offer. All clubs have felt the economic pinch and unfortunately Club cricket cannot survive without the injection of money. Sponsorships for club cricket has become harder to come by. The advent of semi-professional club cricketers has brought about the demise of some of our older clubs. This is a phenomenon experienced throughout the country. Clubs need to invest in good junior structures which will ensure a future. This is where you can ensure your longevity.

We have introduced an exciting initiative, a commercially local based franchise competition, the Dolphins Premier League, which should encourage new sponsors to come on board and at the same time give club players the opportunity to play the game at another level.

Our Township program continues to grow, and our festival was a resounding success once again. The standard of cricket played was unbelievable. Three SA U/19 players have emerged from this program.

5 PAGE KZN CRICKET UNION 2017/18 ANNUAL REPORT

In a mission to ensure the sustainability of our development pipeline we need to merge it with

the formal CSA recognized programs. CSA has incorporated an activity-based funding model and with our current structure we are losing out on funding. We spend more than 4 million rand on

the program besides what we get from our two major sponsors, The Department of Sport and Recreation and The Willowton Group on the program. It is still a concern of mine to note that areas such as Asherville, Overport, Sydenham, Merebank and Phoenix no longer have school cricket, let alone mini-cricket. The Union and the Schools committees must commit to re-introducing cricket into these once thriving cricket areas. These areas were once the hub of non-racial cricket and are steeped in cricket history. I must acknowledge that our High schools and Primary Schools Boards continue to strive and work hard in trying circumstances to promote the game of cricket.

I must congratulate the presidents of all our Geo-political districts for ensuring that the mandates

of their sub- unions were adhered to and that cricket in their respective areas continued to be played. On the operational side, our Chief executive Heinrich Strydom, with the help of his senior managers continues to strive for excellence. He has continued to nudge, push and coerce the staff into giving of their best at all times.

Our policies are continuously being updated, respected and adhered too. All our policies need

to tie up with good practices and good governance. MESSAGE

Our stadium continues to undergo renovations. This must continue to ensure that we become a stadium to be reckoned with. We are beginning to generate more income by hiring out the stadium. It is unfortunate that The Comrades Marathon and the The Spar Women’s race

'S organizations no longer use our stadium. This has resulted in us losing over a million rand in revenue.

Our Finco members must be complimented for the manner in which they have gone about taking care of our finances. Financially we are sound. We have solid investments. They, in conjunction with the auditors, are going to ensure that we introduce more stringent measures to curb

expenditure.

The PTY relationship with Supersport is a sound one and continues to grow. Supersport continues to be supportive of our Union. Our sponsorship deal with Hollywoodbets has been renewed.

The Department of Sport and Recreation and Sunfoil continue to be the sponsors of our Township program. To all our sponsors, I want to say Thank You to you for your commitment and contribution towards the promoting and the funding of cricket in our province.

Cricket South Africa is financially stable. The president of , Chris Nenzani, has ensured that CSA has again become a leading contributor at the ICC. We, as an affiliate, in turn must continue to play an important role at CSA. Now, all the attention is focused on the Global T20 that is destined to be launched in November this year.

PRESIDENT 6 PAGE KZN CRICKET UNION 2017/18 ANNUAL REPORT

PRESIDENT

To the HLVP’s and patrons that I have approached on the many occasions for sound advice and guidance, regarding ideas and thoughts through some tough times, has not gone by unnoticed. Your knowledge, experience, wisdom, guidance and expertise has helped me tremendously. Thank you!

Lastly, credit must be given to all the Office Bearers, all Manco and all Council members for the manner in which our deliberations were conducted. It was good to have healthy debate and it was also good to listen. We must continue to be true to ourselves and honest with each other. Cricket must always be the main objective.

To my successor, congratulations and well done.

Thank you Fa-eez Jaffar President KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union

INTRODUCTION

The past year has flown by and when I look back I cannot help but be filled with a sense of pride of what we have achieved as a Union. On a personal note it meant the creation of a new life in KZN and the birth of an immense pride in a province with such incredible potential and hope for the future. When I reflect on the past season I am filled with gratitude and a true sense of belonging to something much bigger than myself.

As the Dolphins franchise our core business of cricket has performed well, with incredible performances throughout the KZN pipeline, the pinnacle being the positive brand of cricket played by the Hollywoodbets Dolphins. We won three out of a possible six senior cricket trophies available in the national competitions, and what makes this achievement even more special is that the three included one by each senior team in each of the three formats

– Hollywoodbets Dolphins (Momentum 50 over), KZN Coastal (Sunfoil 3-day) and KZN Inland (Africa CEO REPORT T20).

These positive results played a massive role in our players and coaches being recognised for national honours. At Proteas level , , and Chloe

Tryon made key contributions Our head coach, Grant Morgan has been selected as assistant coach for the SA ”A” team to India, along with , SJ Erwee, and Robbie Frylinck. Inland head coach, Shane Burger, has been operating as assistant coach to the SA Academy, Nick Moffit as physio and the group includes our youngsters, Eathan Bosch, Smangaliso Nhlebela and Kerwin Mungroo. For the female SA Academy our own Dinesha Devnarain has been the coach, Mduduzi Mbatha, the fitness trainer and one of our future stars, Nondumiso Shangase, has been selected as a player.

Our school structures yet again proved its strength with incredible performances at the national age group tournaments. We also had various school players selected for higher honours.

From an administration aspect I am particularly proud of the results achieved on the CSA incentive scorecard. KZNCU was awarded with the following recognition:

▪ Most improved member

▪ 3rd best affiliate overall

▪ Governance combined winners

▪ Best Youth program

▪ Best Hub program

Six boys from the programme received full scholarships for the next five years namely: Three from Durban High School, Two from PMB College and One from Northlands Primary.

CHALLENGES

▪ The programme is dealing with seriously disadvantaged, emotionally and nutritionally challenged kids which hinders them from performing to their full potential in the playing

field

RISKS / MITIGATIONS

▪ Since there are no A class facilities in the Townships the kids need to travel to Kingsmead for better facilities (some of them are too small to take public transport).

STADIUM

Facilities

Various upgrades were done in accordance to the Global league requirements presented by CSA. Some of these upgrades included the upliftment of the changerooms, indoor nets, toilets, reception area and the president’s suite. A big focus area was compliance to the SASREA ACT 2017 requirements. We also managed to erect a water management system which should contribute to significant savings going forward.

Maintenance

The maintenance of the stadium remains a continuous process to ensure that we are pro-active rather than reactive. We had various storm damages

during the year but still managed to uplift the overall look of Kingsmead.

Ground

The highlight from a stadium perspective was the sell-out ODI between South Africa and India. The field continues to be highly rated Internationally as well as domestically, and the performance of the ground staff during that ODI received very positive reports from both teams, as well as the match referees.

32 PAGE KZN CRICKET UNION 2017/18 ANNUAL REPORT

MARKETING

Bums on seats

The overall attendance for the test match between South Africa and Australia was 20,000 people which was disappointing. Our marketing plans will need to improve for international test cricket.

The value of the Proteas brand from a limited overs perspective was once again proven with a sold-out stadium for the ODI between South Africa and India.

The big highlight of the past season was the increased attendance for the Hollywoodbets

Dolphins matches. The strategy to “humanize” the players paid dividends and the public felt a closer bond with the players and staff. This strategy entailed weekly outreach projects to schools and corporates, various activations and match day interactions between the players and the fans.

The Momentum Cup match played in Pmb deserves special mention for the number of fans that pitched up to support our local heroes.

HR

To mention that the year was extremely eventful from a staff perspective would be an understatement.

The unfortunate passing of Ram Maharaj and Kasavan Moodley brought with it an immense sense of sadness amongst the staff. There were various appointments, movements and resignations which lead to our current staff compliment lead by a young, diverse and vibrant management team.

A process of redefining our culture, job descriptions and key performance areas have commenced with the ultimate goal of creating a strong passionate workforce who will be willing to take KZNCU to the next level.

CONCLUSION

It has been an incredible year from a cricketing perspective but there are still lots to do in

terms of the support services and turning the financial position around.

The next few months will be dedicated to improving our support services and structures to ensure that we start the next season in a sound position and build on the proud heritage

that is KZNCU.

I extend my sincere appreciation to all the volunteers, players, coaches, umpires, scorers and administrators who selflessly serve the game of cricket in KZN.

I would also like to thank all our sponsors, stakeholders and media partners for their continued support of our vision to become the best cricket affiliate in South Africa.

To our President, VP’s, Treasurer, Members of Manco, Council and the Pty Board for all the support and guidance that you have given me in my first year. Your contributions have been immense.

Lastly, to my management team and staff, thank you for your loyal support and for joining me on the journey to KZN’s next glory era.

To our fans, watch this space…
