The Mzansi Super League (MSL) 2.0 proved to be a big hit when it made its way to Mbombela in the Mpumalanga province, where one of the visits was to showcase the tournament trophy to the Ehlanzeni District Municipality Executive Mayor; Cllr. Jesta Sidell, on Monday.
The Executive Mayor also received memorabilia from Cricket South Africa (CSA), when she was presented with a framed Jozi Stars jersey to mark the visit to the region.
“This framed jersey from Cricket South Africa has been signed by the likes of (Stars players) Chris Gayle and Kagiso Rabada, and it will be placed visibly here at the offices, so that all of our visitors can see that we are very much a part of the Mzansi Super League,” said Cllr. Sidell.
“We know that a lot of tourists will also be making their way to the province during the tournament, where we have the Kruger National Park among the top attractions. In this way, we give this tournament full support in terms of what it will contribute to tourism. We also know that there will be a lot of cricket fans from the province that will be making their way to different games in the coming weeks.”
Among the visits to the province was a stop at the South African Broadcast Corporation, the tournament television partners, where a framed jersey was also presented to Ligwalagwala FM.
The leading siSwati station carries a listenership audience exceeding one million, where they will also carry a lot of tournament news and updates in the coming weeks.
