Members of the community are encouraged to remain calm and unite during this time of uncertainty.
This from Central Gauteng Lions (CGL) cricket CEO Jono Leaf-Wright in a recent message of hope and perseverance to the cricketing community.
The CGL, owners of the Imperial Lions based at Wanderers Stadium in Illovo, administers all amateur cricket played in Soweto, Kagiso, Johannesburg North, Alexandra, Wits and surrounding areas, Vaal, South east area, Jeppe, Lenasia and Johannesburg Central.
Leaf-Wright acknowledged that the community was understandably going through an unprecedented time which had left everyone feeling more nervous and unsettled than before.
“But what I also know is that South African’s are resilient, proud and predominantly positive, and I call on you all to remain calm, pull together and restore our faith in our Rainbow Nation,” he said.
Leaf-Wright referenced the acronym Pride – passion, respect, image, discipline and enjoyment – a word that resonated with him as it summarised who the CGL were as lions.
“Pride is what we create, and I believe that now more than ever before, we need to live with passion, earn our respect, maintain a strong image, work with discipline and enjoy all that we do.”
Members of the community were encouraged to take a breath, stay calm and be kind to one another as the country would get through the turmoil.
“Protect your loved ones and keep believing because never before have we needed you, like we need you right now. Influence your communities positively and let us pull together so our beautiful country can be proud again and have a strong sense of ‘Pride’ to be South African.”
