Occasionally on tours, you get the chance to do something special and different. Playing a game with media colleagues from Australia against coaches and participants of the amazing CATCH Trust, formerly the Gary Kirsten Foundation, in the enormous township of Khayelitsha proved to be just that. An organisation doing remarkable things to make cricket part of young people’s lives where otherwise it wouldn’t be; we learn how it works and why it is transformational.
On this episode we speak to Managing Director Tim Human, cricketers Lisakhanya Blom andSomila Stofile, board trustee Madoda Mahlutshana, and coach Lusindiso Malilwana.
