JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) has addressed the governance issues within Northern Cape Cricket Union (NCC), which was placed under administration earlier this year.
Following the appointment of Administrator Jesse Chellan, financial governance and controls at NCC have been significantly strengthened.
Cricket operations within the province continue to run as normal, ensuring that players, coaches, and development programmes remain supported and uninterrupted.
The Administrator’s team is currently addressing the backlog in financial recordkeeping to ensure that the outstanding Annual Financial Statements for the 2024 and 2025 financial years are finalised and audited by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
In addition, CSA has received the final report from the independent forensic investigation into the affairs of Northern Cape Cricket. The recommendations contained in the report are under review, and disciplinary proceedings against certain union employees are being implemented as part of ongoing corrective measures.
CSA remains committed to upholding the highest standards of governance, accountability, and integrity across all its affiliates.
The ongoing step-in process is intended to ensure long-term stability and sustainability of cricket administration in the Northern Cape.

AB de Villiers: Mr 360 came conquered and left an everlasting admiration from the cricketing world. De Villiers is known for his style, his ability to hit the ball to every corner of the park and bring opponents to their knees.
De Villiers is one of the best-limited overs batsmen the world has seen. He is a 3-time ICC ODI player of the year winner. He also holds the record for the fastest hundred in ODI cricket, when he smashed a 100 off 31 balls. De Villiers has scored 9,577 ODI runs and somewhere these stats have overshadowed his performances in red-ball cricket. He has smashed 8,776 test runs with an average of 50.66 which makes him one of the few batsmen to have above 50 averages in both formats.
De Villiers has scored 19,864 runs in all formats which makes him the 2nd highest run-scorer in Protea’s history.
