Out of these divisions, one member will serve as chairman of the council and will represent the district on the MCU board.
Mr Dylan Niemand from Sasol will serve as the new Gert Sibande Club Cricket district chairman and he was also elected as chairman of the members council, replacing outgoing chairman, Ignus Koekemoer on the MCU Board.
The other members serving on the Gert Sibande members council are Mr Albert Biddlecombe (high schools), Mr Johan Naudé (primary schools), Mr Carl Kotze (match officials), while the girls cricket position is currently vacant.
