Photo: Ryan Wilkisky/BackpagePixI think that is one of the most regrettable things that I’ve had to go through. Having a media background myself, it wasn’t something that I would have had endorsed on any level. No, I was not part of that. I think I was part of the healing process after that. I think the whole relationship with the media suffered as a result.

‘Black Day’ was an initiative that I started last year. It came to me as an idea in terms of what we could do to use our voices as Cricket SA to address something that is beyond a social ill. It is a scourge that has taken over our society. Our numbers are five times higher than the global average. This kind of insanity is just something that has to stop. It has to stop in our time. As Cricket SA we have to use the massive platform that we have to raise awareness for this.
