The SACP has learnt with great sadness of the news of the untimely passing away of the President of the ICC, Mr Percy Sonn.
Mr Sonn, a distinguished cricket administrator, played a critical role in establishing South African Cricket to be where it is today, especially during the early days of unity talks.
His distinguished leadership strengths and passion for cricket were confirmed by the rest of the international cricket playing community when they had nominated him for the third term as President of the ICC.
South African Cricket will miss his commitment to the game and passion for the people of our country.
Our condolences go to his wife and children, the rest of the family, friends, relatives and the rest of the cricket community.
Issued by the SACP.
