You reported in December that the upgrades to Boksburg Stadium, including the new tartan track, had been completed at the end of November.
This is incorrect as there is still a large pile of rubble and rubbish on the east side of the stadium.
The pile was removed from the stadium during the upgrades but has not been disposed of.
The material has been there so long that vegetation has started to grow on it. It wouldn’t be so bad if it were just soil.
However, the dumped rubble includes a load of concrete, a tin drum and pieces of the old synthetic track. I would assume that the exorbitant cost (R9.6 million) of the upgrade included removal and disposal of the waste material, but this definitely has not been done.
The company responsible should be called back to complete the job.
