Led by the newly elected Executive Committee under Chairperson Fuzlin Levy-Hassen, the WPVCA season launch welcomed representatives from all 24 teams, sponsors, and key figures, including Roger Moult, Chairperson of the Veterans Cricket Association of South Africa, and Shafiek Noordien from the Western Province Cricket Association.
Levy-Hassen expressed pride in the event, saying, ‘I feel very proud and humbled. As a newly formed Exco appointed at the AGM on August 26, we had to hit the ground running with the season just around the corner. With fixtures, rules, sponsorships, and logistics to manage, we felt a formal launch was necessary and managed to pull it together in a short time. It was heart-warming to witness the camaraderie, the smiles, and laughter after a challenging few months as an association.’
Levy-Hassen also took the opportunity to thank her executive team, including Wesley Henry, Feroz Shaik, Barney De Klerk, Foazia Sylvester, Grant Jansen, Rodney Brown, and Carol Anne Van Vuuren, as well as sponsors J.C. Paleker of Tsitsikamma Water, Daniel French of Devils Peak Beers, and Neil Gillett of Rondebosch Sports Club. She also encouraged members and fans to follow the association’s newly launched website.
