WP Cricket Association pay tribute to George van Oordt
CAPE TOWN – The sorrowing Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA) received hundreds of social media messages as the cricket fraternity went into collective mourning after the sudden passing of George van Oordt.
Van Oordt (68) was a long-serving life member of the Association. He was also a former chairman of the WP selection committee and a former all-rounder of Western Province.
He represented Tygerberg Cricket Club at cricket and rugby. Van Oordt was also a first team stalwart of the Ravensmead Soccer Club.
“George was a dedicated champion for non-racialism, and he had a caring, selfless personality that drew everybody to him,” said Johannes Adams, a close friend.
