Cricket is shining a bright light on the Cape Flats, a place often shadowed by violence and hardship. On dusty fields, young people find hope, safe spaces, and the chance to dream beyond their tough surroundings. Programs like the Cape Flats Sports Academy help kids learn, grow, and escape cycles of crime through sport and mentorship. With new facilities and support, cricket is more than a game here—it’s a powerful way to change lives and build a stronger, hopeful community.
