Mbolekwa Stadium in Ward 62 Atteridgrville, has been the heartbeat of sporting and cultural activities in our community for as long as we can remember. For many of us, it is more than just a field; it is where countless memories have been made, friendships forged, and talents nurtured. However, over the years, the condition of the soccer pitch has deteriorated alarmingly. This pitch, which was installed about 13 years ago, has sadly seen no maintenance, making it unsafe and dangerous for the residents who use it.

The current state of the Mbolekwa Stadium soccer pitch is a cause for urgent concern. It's not just about aesthetics or comfort; it's about safety. The dilapidated condition is a threat to everyone who plays or participates in activities there. It is not fair for the residents, especially our young children, to risk serious injuries due to neglect.

A properly maintained stadium can serve as a safe recreational area for all members of our community. Sporting activities contribute greatly to personal health and community spirit. They offer a constructive outlet for young people, promote teamwork, and foster a sense of unity among residents.

To address this issue, we must urge the City of Tshwane Municipal Council to prioritize the repair and maintenance of Mbolekwa Stadium. By implementing a regular maintenance plan, we can ensure the longevity of the pitch and the safety of its users. Allocating funds for this purpose and appointing a dedicated team to oversee these repairs would be essential first steps.

We believe that with your support, we can restore Mbolekwa Stadium to its former glory, keeping it as a cherished space for recreation and cultural activities in our neighborhood. Let's come together to ensure future generations have the same wonderful experiences and memories we were privileged to make.

Please join us in calling on the City of Tshwane Municipal Council to urgently address and repair the Mbolekwa Stadium soccer pitch. Sign the petition today and help make our community a safer and better place for everyone.
