By Ronnie Kintu THE National Council of Sports (NCS) General Secretary Abbey Lutaya has asked professionals-to-be Kenneth Kamyuka, Lawrence Ssematimba and Frank Nsubuga to be true Ugandan ambassadors in South Africa. The three stars left yesterday for Tasmania Cricket Club in Johannesburg. At a farewell party organised for the trio by Destroyers CC on Tuesday, Lutaya said their dedication to the game would open the way for many other sportsmen from Uganda. “This is an achievement for Uganda cricket, but like soccer player Majid Musisi started at a lower level, so are the three. This is the beginning of greater things,” said Lutaya. Meanwhile, the ICC development manager for Africa Hoosain Ayob arrives in Kampala today. ends
