A R22m sports complex in Limpopo that was meant to be a breeding ground for future athletes and sports champions is crumbling to the ground due to lack of maintenance.
The Makhuvha Sports Complex in Thohoyandou was completed in December 2012 and was used to host Premier Soccer League matches and was also Black Leopards home ground.
But now it is overgrown with grass, and two swimming pools that were never used are filled with dirty water. The lights on top of the grandstand near the soccer pitch are not working, and the netball combi court has a broken fence.
