Dladla takes the reins as new KZNCU president
“Taking over as the president is a daunting task and I have some big boots to fill."
FOLLOWING a seven year tenure at the helm of the KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union Fa-eez Jaffar has stepped down and will be replaced by his vice-president Bernard Dladla following the union’s annual general meeting on Friday evening.
Dladla began his administrative career 15 years ago when he was elected onto the executive council of the Umlazi Cricket Club. His career in cricket administration grew steadily as he took up a handful of positions before being elected as the Umlazi Cricket Club member on the Durban and Districts Cricket Union (DDCU).
From 2006, when he started with the DDCU, he moved through the ranks to the position of deputy president and took up a spot on the KZNCU council as the DDCU representative. In 2013 he was elected to the position of vice-president of the KZNCU behind Jaffar and has held that position ever since.
“Taking over as the president is a daunting task and I have some big boots to fill. It is a huge responsibility but it is one that I am ready to take on. Fa-eez and I have had a long chat about the position and I am looking forward to starting,” Dladla said.
Outgoing president Jaffar has left the union in a solid position following one of its strongest seasons to date.

“It has been an interesting journey for me getting everyone to walk the same path, but I have also learnt so much and grown as a person,” Jaffar said.
With the vacation of the vice-president position, Daniel Govender will move from his position on the board and fill the second vice president position.
In other changes to the KZNCU board, Kugen Subrayen and Ravi Padayachee come onto the management committee as non-independent directors while Ernest Shozi and Dr Nonhlanhla Mkhize take up positions as independent directors.
