Board receives donation for development

The South African board has received a cash donation of 200,000 Rand from Bellingham Wines.

The announcement was made during the innings break of the fifth and final one-dayer between South Africa and West Indies at the Wanderers. The money is from proceeds of sales of the wines during the last year's World Cup.

Harry Dare, Bellingham's marketing director, said, "We are delighted to be associated with cricket, especially during the prestigious event like the World Cup." He added, "For the wine brand to support cricket development is very special."

Maxwell Jordaan, the manager for amateur cricket, expressed his gratitude. "This unexpected windfall will go a long way to assist the remote regions of our cricket affiliates," he said. "It will serve as a fantastic kick-start for our elite programmes within our newest fledgling associates."
