I met Donald Hjul in 2004, while he was serving as a director of Border Bears (Pty) Ltd and as an Executive representative of South African Investments LTD, a shareholder in Border Bears (Pty) Ltd at that time. Our introduction was facilitated through Border Cricket, where Donald was highly recommended for his expertise in Organizational Development and Human Capital Solutions. Border Cricket and Border Bears (Pty) Ltd engaged Donald’s services for business consulting, focusing on strategy and business planning, as well as the compilation of a business plan for one of the cricket franchises offered by Cricket South Africa. Donald played a crucial role in drafting this business plan for Border Cricket, which collaborated with Eastern Province Cricket to tender for the franchise. This effort culminated in the franchise being awarded in 2005, which eventually evolved into the Warriors Cricket franchise entity and team. Over the following 16 years, Donald contributed significantly to the Eastern Cape’s strategic business planning and application interventions for both rugby and cricket. His initiatives included a rugby joint venture proposal for Border, Eastern Province, and South Western Districts, which later formed the Spears and subsequently the Southern Kings entity. He was also involved in the application for a joint venture among Border Rugby, Eastern Province, Boland, and South Western Districts for the Pro14 expansion and SA Rugby offering. In essence, Donald’s unwavering dedication and commitment to the development of these sporting opportunities and business plans were focused on enhancing sustainable cricket and rugby development in underserved regions of South Africa. His contributions, particularly in training and workshop facilitations, will always be valued by the team.
