Gerald Majola, Cricket South Africa’s CEO, on Monday announced the appointment of Gordon Templeton as the new media liaison officer for the Proteas team.
Templeton replaces Moabi Litheko, who resigned to join the South African Broadcasting Corporation at the end of February, and will start his new position later this month.
In announcing Templeton’s appointment Majola said: ”Gordon Templeton has been appointed as media liaison for the Proteas because he brings to the job an appreciation of the requirements of the media, the national team and the vision of Cricket South Africa to make the game a truly national sport of winners.
”We are confident that Gordon will be a positive communications asset for South African cricket during the challenging season that lies ahead, which culminates in the ICC Cricket World Cup in the West Indies in March next year”.
His first task will be to travel with the Proteas to the sub-continent for their Sri Lankan tour, which starts at the end of the month in Colombo.
Templeton possesses a BSc in Sports Marketing and Psychology from the London International University as well as a level two coaching qualification.
He is also highly knowledgeable of the media environment as he has worked both as a sports producer and presenter on two national radio stations, Metro FM and SAfm. — Sapa
