The Tembisa-based stadium is home to premiership club Highlands Park who have‚ with no success‚ consistently implored the municipality to upgrade the facility.
Highlands have previously repeatedly complained to the municipality over the inadequate facilities at the stadium. The main grand stand has no cover to shelter the spectators‚ the players‚ media‚ officials and guests who are left exposed during inclement weather or on hot and windy days. “To raise the outside perimeter wall‚ pave the parking area for the Outside Broadcast vans and install a permanent back- up generator – this was subject to the availability of funds which was to take place in the January budget adjustment period‚” said the municipality.
The club has previously cautioned and warned that hosting Chiefs in the current dire state the venue is in was an accident waiting to happen. Live SABC radio broadcasting ceased immediately to operate and television commentators survived because they were sheltered right inside the working area.
