KALANGA ARTIFICIAL STADIUM CLOSE TO FINISH

SITEKI – It’s victory for football. In less than three months, a new artificial stadium would be unveiled under the FIFA Forward Projects at KaLanga, Lubombo Region.

Construction of the stadium was scheduled to have been completed end of July but due to rains, the sports stadium will be ready in three months’ time.

This is the second venue after the revamp of King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium in the Shiselweni Region. The next phase that will benefit the four regions of the country will go to Mkhuzweni in the Hhohho Region, and Manzini will be last.

The projects are funded by FIFA and it is estimated to be around E13 million. The Minister of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs David ‘Cruiser’ Ngcamphalala, in the company of Eswatini Football Association (EFA) President Adam Bomber Mthethwa among others, visited the venue yesterday to inspect progress.

The stadium is constructed by Home Boyz, whose Chairman is Polycarp Dlamini. The venue will include an artificial turf to be installed by FIFA, sports hall, grand stands and offices among other things.

EFA President Bomber Mthethwa said the venue will benefit all sporting codes, as it is under plans that it also features a synthetic track. He said the whole place that was handed over to the EFA by the Ka-Langa authorities is 10 hectares

“In less than three months, the project is expected to have been completed and it will be beneficial to all sports people and we are so happy that so far, everything is well,” he said.

Home Boyz Chairman Polycarp Dlamini said they will be done in no time. He said due to the rains, they had fallen behind the completion time.
Others present included Sonnyboy Mabuza, Thulani Mavuso, Joseph De Souza, CEO Frederick Mngomezulu, Sikhumbuzo Dlamini and Ace Mashwama among others.
