Companies that were building these stediums overcharged the government by 1B Moses mabhida and more for green point stedium. But none were held accountable for the corruption and some stedium are starting to decay while they were supposed to last more than 20 yrs before renovations.

What happened to plan b???

[@nickypee4055]

all the materials and management came from Germany does this mean as South Africans we dont have specialized professionals and industries to mek our own materials.

[@almak8785]

[@CHEEZIENATOR]

Not all. In Moses mabhida, where my friend works they were making gutters for the stedium.

Stupid question

[@gedenironald8635]

You are making me worried about your IQ, this tells me that you are simply make conclusions without knowing. The South African football stadiums are being used for soccer games and rugby and other events.
