Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Proteas captain Themba Bavuma has received the City of Cape Town’s prestigious Civic Honours scroll.<\/p>\n

The award recognises individuals who’ve made a significant contribution to their communities and celebrates Bavuma’s impact both on and off the cricket pitch.<\/p>\n

Bavuma was originally scheduled to receive the honour in November last year, but was unable to attend the ceremony at the time due to national team touring commitments.<\/p>\n

Themba Bavuma was born and raised in the KwaLanga.<\/p>\n

He remembers fondly the role the community played in shaping his cricket journey to the highest level of the sport.<\/p>\n

The Protea skipper accepted the City’s Civic Honours scroll on Friday.<\/p>\n

“I think my career has been an interesting one, starting from Langa when cricket was just a passion and never in my wildest of dreams did I think that passion would get me sitting where I am now and being honoured and recognised in this manner,” said a proud Bavuma.<\/p>\n

He further thanked the city for the recognition, describing the moment as deeply meaningful.<\/p>\n

HILL-LEWIS SINGS BAVUMA\u2019S PRAISES<\/b><\/p>\n

Hill-Lewis has hailed Bavuma as a great Capetonian and a powerful ambassador for the city.<\/p>\n

He praised Bavuma for representing Cape Town with humility, resilience, and excellence on the global stage.<\/p>\n

The mayor noted that Bavuma\u2019s journey continues to inspire young people across the city, adding that his story reflects the talent, determination and diversity that define Cape Town.<\/p>\n

“We just want to say to you thank you for being such a great ambassador for Cape Town. Thank you for what you have done to inspire so many young Capetonians in our city in a positive way to dedicate their lives to positive, healthy sport related outlets.”<\/p>\n

Bavuma also expressed his appreciation for the recognition, saying it was a proud moment both for himself and his family.<\/p>\n
