“This programme just reminds me of where I was a number of years ago, as a kid, and to where I am now as a professional ex-cricketer. The experiences that I had from being a player, all started here…playing cricket in the street and on the field,” said Kruger.

“These initiatives that KFC and CSA are doing are bringing dreams to reality. Giving kids an opportunity to dream of becoming a cricketer one day. It’s also brilliant of KFC to bring these activations to the township,” he said.
