A bit of History

The Khayelitsha Cricket Club was established in 1989 in Khayelitsha. Khayelitsha Township has a poor socio-economic background, with a very high unemployment rate and crime. The club was established amongst other things to promote and develop cricket in the township, to attract youth into organized sport and to equip them with social skills.

The Khayelitsha Cricket Club is the only cricket club operating in the Khayelitsha area, and apart from a few schools is the only organization that is promoting cricket. We are affiliated to the Western Province Cricket Association, and currently registered ten teams in their league programme. Our current membership of regular players is approximately 200.
