New chapter for Titans following AGM

Tebogo Siko.

Titans Cricket Union (formally Northerns Cricket Union) has stepped into a new era after they held their Annual General Meeting (AGM) at SuperSport Park on Monday.

It was a historic evening for the union that saw a change of guard in their President from Tebogo Siko to Damien Weidemann.

Weidemann’s election as Board President was a conventional progression seeing that he served as Siko’s deputy for the past three years, highlighting stability and continuity at board level.

Ashley Dau, from Atteridgeville Cricket Club, previously a non-independent member elected onto the board in 2023 was elected as Board Vice President.

A leap was taken within the board structure with three of five the new members who will serve on the Titans Cricket Union Board being women and four of the 10 board members women of colour with an equal split of five men and five women making up the board.

Since 1973 Titans Cricket has bestowed Christie Vlok awards to administrators who have served with distinction within various roles in the Titans Cricket structures. The 2024 AGM saw this award being given to former Titans Cricket Chief Operations Officer, Patricia Kambarami, Willem du Toit and William Ndomo.

Sollie Barnard became a Honourary Member following the conclusion of his term on the board.

The former Board President became the first person of colour to be awarded a Honourary Life Membership of Titans Cricket.

“What a historic day at the AGM,” exclaimed Titans Cricket CEO Dr Jacques Faul.

Faul spoke highly of former Board President, Siko having served under him throughout his tenure. “His had such a fantastic six years, it’s been a great run and I’m proud of everything he’s achieved.”

After all the voting, nominations and honours given, below is a summary of the eventful evening.
