Gauteng erects a Memorial Wall

The Gauteng Cricket Board has erected a Memorial Wall, honouring all those who were Transvaal Cricketers and died in the First or Second World Wars, as well as cricketers who played for South Africa and Transvaal for a prescribed time, players who played for the then Indian, Black, Coloured or Malay Cricket boards or members who served on any of these boards in an administrative capacity.

The GCB is in the process of tracing the relatives of these cricketers in order to have an official unveiling of this Memorial Wall.
