Free State Cricket CEO admits to providing black players with low-grade accommodation TiisetsoMalepa

“Obviously the accommodation is not five star but they had TVs, brand new beds and it was very neat at the time when they moved in”Free State Cricket CEO Johan van Heerden admitted that the union gave sub-standard accommodation to young black cricketers under his watch in 2019.Free State Cricket CEO Johan van Heerden has admitted that the union made young black cricketers stay in an old stadium gymnasium under the stand of Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein.

“They were most probably coming from Bethlehem and Kroonstad and places that would not have been able to travel for the day and back. “We have never utilised those accommodation any further since then,” said Van Heerden, adding that the arrangement was stopped after the matter was brought to the attention of the board.

Asked if all the three players were black, Van Heerden said: “I don’t think there was any white player in there.”
