Invite to meet the Protea T20 Team

By

Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism will once again extend a warm welcome to the Proteas cricket team who will arrive at the Port Elizabeth Airport tomorrow morning at 7:30am, ahead of the T20 clash with Australia on the 9 March 2014.

The Proteas will be gutted after losing the third test against Australia in Cape Town by 245 runs after a duck from last man standing, Morne Morkel – bowled by RJ Harris.

3rd test Scorecard:

  • Australia: 494/7 (127.4 Overs) & 303/5 (58 Overs)
  • South Africa: 287/10 (82.5 Overs) & 265/10 (134.3 Overs)

Australia won by 245 runs

NMBT will be joined by young supporters from the E.P Children’s Home as well as Drum majorettes form the Bantu Church of Christ in New Brighton. The Bantu Church of Christ is celebrating a centenary milestone this year alongside Nelson Mandela Bay as it celebrates 100 years since Port Elizabeth has been declared a city.

The Executive Mayor Ben Fihla will also be getting up early to welcome the Protea T20 Cricket team to the city.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
