Ikageng Cricket Club in Potchefstroom<\/a> celebrated Nelson Mandela\u2019s<\/a> 95th birthday with a total face-lift of their facilities when Cricket South Africa<\/a> (CSA) and players from the bizhub Highveld Lions teamed up for their 67 Minutes for Nelson Mandela Day.<\/p>\n

The club services three teams in its area and also supplies coaches to their immediate community and other areas in and around Potchefstroom in their bid to help shape tomorrow.<\/p>\n

CSA paid for the installation of three new concrete nets, the refurbishment of the club house as well as the purchase of a new score board, boundary ropes and also paid for the servicing of their equipment. This project added up to R140 000.<\/p>\n

Highveld Lions<\/a> players Cliffie Deacon, Dwaine Pretorius, Rassie van der Dussen and Dieter Klein, along with CSA staff spent their 67 minutes repainting the club house and conducting a KFC Mini-Cricket<\/a> coaching clinic.<\/p>\n

CSA Acting CEO, Naasei Appiah said: \u201cTaking into account the events of the past month there is an added sense of poignancy as we celebrate Madiba\u2019s 95th birthday. Everything happens for a reason and there is a salutary lesson and reminder to all of us that our founding father remains a source of inspiration and unity to the nation.\u201d \u2013 Cricket South Africa<\/a><\/p>\n
