The Highveld Lions cricket team

  

  

The Highveld Lions cricket team paid a visit to the Zoo on Saturday 28 August 2010. They have adopted the JHB Children’s home and sponsored their visit to the Zoo. The cricket team also adopted one of the Zoo’s lions – there is a photo of Ioanna handing over the adoption package to one of the cricket players.

  

The children and players enjoyed a Zoo tour with special focus on lions – the children had an opportunity to touch a lions skin, a cast of a foot print and skull.

Many cricket fans arrived to have their flags, shirts and bats autographed by the players.
