The next step is approval by the Bid Adjudication Committee and the final appointment of a contractor was expected in November, although we are still waiting for news on when construction will begin.The iconic stadium which was built in 1903 in the Pretoria inner city is in a very bad state, with no electricity or proper sewerage water connection system since 2012 and has apparently become a haven for drug users.
