A weekend full of action starting with cricket and golf and ending with the semi-final of the Telkom knockout series on Sunday afternoon, awaits local sport fans.
With the rugby season officially a thing of the past, South African sport fans’ attention will probably now be mainly on the Proteas’ tour of India.
