Proteas Women inspire next generation of cricketers
Saturday Star
|November 01, 2025
WOMEN'S cricket in South Africa has come a long way. The game went from being fully amateur to now fully professional, even in domestic cricket, where it has been professional for three seasons.
The game has now seen continuous investments from sponsors, and cricketers around the country have fully professional careers.
However, this was not always the case; former Proteas and now Lions women's cricketer Sunette Viljoen knows all about it.
Viljoen made her Proteas debut over two decades ago, at the tender age of 16, and during those days, even the Proteas women’s setup was amateur.
Players needed to have full-time jobs and submit leave from work for them to represent their country.

Will ETFs, in the years to come, displace unit trust funds as the instrument of choice in the collective investments space? There's a lot going in their favour.
