Government to deliver a new home of football for Central Karoo
region

15 February 2006

In a demonstration of commitment to service delivery, MEC Jacobs will hand
over an upgraded sport facility, the Rustdene Stadium, to the Central Karoo
region at a fitting function on Saturday, 18 February 2006.

The hand-over of Rustdene stadium dubbed the "Home of Football" for the
Central Karoo region follows the completion of an upgrading process, which
began in mid-2004. The stadium is one of 28 sport and recreation facilities
identified in 10 district municipalities at a cost of almost R11 million. The
stadium will be home to dozens of soccer clubs in that region.

Meanwhile, school sport in Beaufort West will receive a major boost when the
Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport on Friday, 17 February 2006, will do a
sod-turning ceremony symbolising the commencement of the construction of a
multi-purpose field at Dlikidla Primary School at KwaMandlenkosi. Dlikidla
Primary is one of seven schools the Department had committed to upgrade its
sport facilities before the end of this financial year. The multi-purpose field
will cater for athletics, rugby and soccer for the cluster.

Date: 17 February 2006
Venue: Dlikidla Primary, KwaMandlenkosi, Beaufort West
Time: 11h00
