Posthumous Honour for Ex SA Captain Hansie Cronje


Johannesburg, May 18 (PTI) Nearly a decade after his death, former South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje will be one of the recipients for posthumous honours.

Cronje, who died in a plane crash under mysterious circumstances in 2002, precipitated the greatest crisis in world cricket two years earlier when he admitted to involvement in match fixing after Indian authorities began probing phone calls.

Minister of Arts and Culture Paul Mashatile will deliver the keynote address in Johannesburg on June 4 at the Siyabakhumbula Tribute Awards, which are intended to posthumously honour a number of extraordinary South Africans who changed the landscape of the country.

Now in their second year, the awards were conceived after Vhutsila Arts Ensemble's Mzwakhe Mbuli saw a need to pay homage to those South Africans who have played an important role in creating and building a democratic South Africa.
