Eastern Cape Premier welcomes all the participants of the
Coca-Cola Majola cricket week
The Premier and the entire government of the Eastern Cape extend a
warm welcome to all the participants and visitors to the Khaya
Majola Coca-Cola Cricket Week.
You are coming in our province when we are in our second year of
the Provincial Growth and Development (PGDP), which seeks to make
Eastern Cape by 2014 a compelling place to live, work and invest.
For us to be chosen as the host province is a concrete declaration
of confidence by the nation that not only is our province is a
Mecca of sports development but also our plans for growth and
development are sound.
Eastern Cape has the fastest growing economy in the country and is
endowed with a wealth of diversity. It offers a complete tourism
experience, made possible by the wildlife, scenic beauty, warm
hospitality, heritage and adventure.
In the same vein, myself and MEC for Sports, Arts and culture would
like to congratulate Border Cricket for the work they have done
over years of youth development. We are extremely proud of you to
be hosting this prestigious tournament. We trust that you will
manage the event with extreme passion and cutting edge
professionalism.
With reference to 42 matches that will be played at various cricket
venues in East London. To the 16 teams, we wish you a happy and
rewarding experience in East London. I invite you to use this
opportunity to explore the hidden secrets of the Eastern Cape and
to build everlasting friendships as you enjoy this exciting and
memorable occasion with us.
To the match officials, umpires, scorers and our local media, I
thank you for the invaluable role you all play in making cricket
the great game it is today.
To the tournament sponsors, thank you for your continued
support of our youth. Best wishes to you all for a successful
tournament.
