Crowie said it was an honour and privilege being chosen.

A former goalkeeper for Cape Town Spurs, Jomo Cosmos and Bush Bucks, Abrahams said being among the ambassadors was an honour and "milestone in my career".
Presenting the ambassadors at a function at Muldersvlei Estate in Stellenbosch, Jacobs told them: "We expect you to unite our province, inspire our people to support sports development, and show our youth that sport is one answer to crime.
"We are proud of what you have done and what you are about to do for your province and people."
