“Former Western Province and Cape Cobras bowler Rory Kleinveldt has been appointed as the bowling coach, whilst Dieter Swanepoel, who has previously worked at WPCA, both for the Cape Cobras and WP semi-professional team, has been appointed as the new strength and conditioning coach.
“He rejoins the men in blue after a stint with the Titans last season.

WP CEO Michael Canterbury says of the 39-year-old Kleinveldt: “With over 800 wickets in all formats of the game, and 18 years of professional cricket at Western Province and Cape Cobras, along with his county and international career, I’m delighted to have a WP Cricket legend like Rory Kleinveldt taking the next step in his career as a coach.”
