TELFORD VICE, Johannesburg

None of Gauteng’s black African, coloured or Indian schools offer cricket, less than 1% of the Gauteng Cricket Board’s (GCB) annual expenditure comes from state funding, and prominent black clubs want to withdraw from the province’s Premier League.

Consequently, officials say, the number of black players who stay in the province’s system long enough to reach franchise level and be considered for the national team is set to dwindle.

All of which makes sports...
