National Sports Stadium Renovation Gets Only $3.8 Million Of Needed $25.4 Million

The renovation of the National Sports Stadium is far from being finished. So far, only $3.8 million has been spent out of the planned $25.4 million.

This was revealed by the Minister of Finance, Economic Development and lnvestment Promotion,  Mthuli Ncube, on Wednesday.

He was answering questions from members of parliament who wanted to know how the renovation is going for the 60,000-seat stadium since the start of this year. Said Ncube:

The engagements with the Ministry of Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture indicated that to date, only US$6.75 million has been contracted.

Ncube said the US$6.75 million relates to infrastructural development including a water reticulation system, installation of security systems such as CCTV, access control equipment, as well a ticketing system. He added:

Out of this amount, the total value of work done and certified amounts to US$3.8 million which has since been paid for in full.

Ncube said that this year, the Local Government and Public Works Ministry proposed a total budget of $25.4 million for the full refurbishment of the National Sports Stadium.

Out of this amount, $17.5 million is planned for improving infrastructure, security, and access control. The remaining $7.9 million will go toward other projects like fencing, groundwork, and related tasks.

Ncube could not provide a timeline for when the funds would be available.

In his 2024 national budget, he only allocated $2.75 million for the stadium’s refurbishment.

The stadium is being refurbished to meet the standards set by CAF for hosting international matches.

Right now, the Zimbabwe national football team (the Warriors) and local teams like Dynamos and Ngezi Platinum are using sports facilities in countries like Rwanda, South Africa, and Botswana to host international matches.

That unbudgeted 16 mill blown towards cars was going to cover the gape. Chiefs get cars yearly?

Corruption, a pestilence that gnaws at the very fabric of our society. Like a cancer, it spreads its insidious tendrils, infecting even the noblest of institutions. Corruption has killed this hell hole we call Zim. Stay woke glitches Neo out

That money is too much, the contractors charge too much. If all the money is spent on this project without diverting it to personal uses. These guys charge too much in order to steal. We have enough money to renovate the stadiums.

As usual let's just overburden the esteemed government with even more debt while the relevant football association and the clubs that comprise the PSL do nothing in terms of infrastructural development...The government should drag their feet as much as possible until ZIFA and the PSL get their act together...Each and every year ZIFA gets financial support from CAF and FIFA indirectly yet they do zilch....Why not cut deals with other associations such as KSA or Qatar instead of taking FIFA meetings as photo ops... Erudite out

This amount of money is just insuffiecent and it will take another five years to furnish the refurbishment of the ground.They spent an budgeted USD 16.5 million on chiefs.Where is the money from and gold lithium going? Chiadzwa had its diamond depleted by the Chinese who exported the diamonds to their country.

In 2022 kudakwashe Tagwirei wanted to own Rufaro stadium for 30 years by putting plastic chairs. What a joke do that national sport stadium. We had NSS is 65% 35%50% finished that's average of 50% in short if they used 6,,7million for 50% work why would they need 25,4 million to finish. It simply means they need another 6,7 million to finish. You see how public money is stolen. Mupfumira stole 95 and the court said she is unfit to stand trial. Soon it will be Coventry not fit to stand trial
