SANDTON – Former St Stithians cricketer Curtis Campher claims victory at the crease.
Curtis Campher, a former St Stithians College cricketer was recently named the Coca-Cola Hero of the Day for day three of the 2017 Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Cricket Week that took place in December.

“It is a real honour to win this award,” said Curtis on the day. “My main aim in this tournament is to do my best for my team.”
Former Proteas player and head of the panel Victor Mpitsang congratulated Curtis for his winning knock.
