Cricket South Africa (CSA) regrets to inform the public and cricket stakeholders that the planned Mace Trophy Tour stop in East London scheduled for Thursday, 25 September 2025 has unfortunately been cancelled. This decision follows the ongoing protests in the city, which we have been monitoring over the past week or so.

Fun South African Fact: South Africa is home to the world’s longest wine route: Route 62. It spans an impressive 850 kilometres and the excellent wineries along the way are a must-visit for lovers of fine wine! You can even enjoy the winelands on a day trip from Cape Town. Travel 40-min to an hour outside of the city centre to enjoy decadent wine tastings and even wander through some of the beautiful wine farms and estates! Suburbs like Durbanville and Constantia are even closer to the city centre and are also home to many exceptional wineries.
