A first class cricketer from his youth, resides in the United Arab Emirates. The chairman and founder of Alam Steel Group in1979, one of the largest steel companies in the Middle East. His success on the business field was primarily due to the lessons he learnt on the sports grounds. This initiated Cricket for Care Foundation in 2007, which later encouraged him to open the Shyam Bhartia Museum for all cricket lovers. Bhartia said; “I love cricket, played it since childhood, and want to give back to the game. The game of cricket has given me discipline, encouragement and skills of how to be a good human being in my life”.
Advocate Mthetheleli Ngumbela
Shares a deep love for the game of cricket from his early years, where he used to return from Cape Town to play cricet in the village of Healdtown in December. It was during that time when he realised that sport was dying out and being over shadowed by crime, violence, and alcohol abuse. This is what inspired him to create his brainchild, the Ngumbela Rural Development Cricket Tournament (established in 1989) to assist the community of Fort Beaufort to end these social ills and in the process develop cricketers that would one day represent their country from the rural areas.
