KZNCU’s Kuzwayo wins Administrator of the Year

RURAL and township development manager at the KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union Sanelisiwe Kuzwayo, pictured, won the Administrator of the Year award at the South African Sports Awards in Johannesburg over the weekend.

Overcome with emotion, Kuzwayo thanked the KwazuluNatal Cricket Union, her predecessor, Linda Zondi, and her family for their support.

In her role as administrator of the KZNCU Rural and Township Development Programme, Kuzwayo manages the various individuals tasked with taking cricket to children living in historically disadvantaged communities.

These include eleven supervisors and 52 coaches who work in a total of 48 townships and rural areas extending across the province, and stretching as far afield as Port Shepstone and Pongola.

One of the Kuzwayo’s crowning achievements is the Sunfoil Township Schools Tournament.

This year’s tournament drew close to 300 cricketers from all over the country for six days of exciting cricket at Hilton College at the end of June.

“I am incredibly proud of Sane and the whole township development department,” said the KZN Cricket chief executive, Heinrich Strydom. “This is an incredible achievement for KZN Cricket and due recognition for a unique programme that has achieved immense successes amidst unbelievable challenges.
