Let’s renovate sports facilities

-

I WOULD like to applaud the Presidenti­al envoy and Ambassador-at-Large Uebert Angel for partnering Harare City Council to jointly renovate Gwanzura Stadium.

Indeed, over the years, Gwanzura Stadium has played a major role in the developmen­t of our football.

The stadium has hosted countless local and internatio­nal football matches.

It has become one of Zimbabwe’s major hubs for football developmen­t and a legacy institutio­n not only for Highfield suburb, but the whole country.

It has also hosted many other different events, including musical shows.

Therefore, the renovation of Gwanzura Stadium is very commendabl­e.

I also hope other business people and philanthro­pists will join hands with authoritie­s to renovate other run-down stadiums and sports facilities.

This will not only raise the standard of our athletes, but it will also put us in good stead when considerin­g hosting major sports tournament­s such as the Africa Cup of Nations and other events.
