Stellenbosch face another spell as nomads with the closing of the Danie Craven Stadium in the winelands town, meaning they will have to play their home games in Cape Town for the rest of the year.
It is nothing new for the club, whose first season in the top flight in 2019-20 saw them have to play all their home matches in Cape Town because there was no suitable venue in Stellenbosch.
Once the Danie Craven Stadium home of the Stellenbosch University rugby side completed renovations, the club was able to move back home and take up residence but has never been able to make the ground a fortress.
Stellenbosch last season had to move matches in the African Confederation Cup around the country because the stadium was not considered suitable for continental competition, while a poor pitch also saw them move games to Cape Town.
Now the Stellenbosch stadium is to be closed for the rest of the year.
