Save Newmarket Stables, Durban

I believe Durban has too many stadiums as it is.

Why build another stadium when we have too many already.

Surely the projected maintenance costs of the Moses Mabhida stadium dictate that as much revenue has to be generated at the stadium as possible to make financial sense?

The life span of the massive canvas roof should be taken into account and the replacement budgeted for because that will make a big dent in the kitty.

Now demolishing a historically relevant and beautiful cultural area like the Stables to build another stadium which can't pay for itself is ridiculous and a waste of money.

Why not use the Moses Mabhida stadium instead and help reduce the financial impact of it's projected up keep.

But as always this will turn out so be some blatant back hand tender corruption blunder with no foresight, where money gets misappropriated, workers go on extended strikes and the project goes 3 times overbudget as the norm.

After all that the city would have lost one of it's special places forever.

I'm really sad this is happening. Once it's gone it's gone.
