The City of Cape Town is buzzing with excitement as the Vitality Netball World Cup approaches, with just 30 days to go.
The facility was in ruins by the end of 2016 due to a devastating fire that an electrical fault caused, which also destroyed all amenities and machinery.
Additionally, major improvements are planned for the surrounding area to create a central space that accommodates all sporting codes for the benefit of patrons.JP Smith, the City’s mayoral committee member for safety and security, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming World Cup, stating, ‘The excitement for the World Cup is certainly building as Cape Town gears up to create history for the netball community.
Councillor Van der Ross continued, ‘Netball is one of the most popular sports in the country and we will continue to raise the profile of the game and encourage our young people to participate.’The impressive 4.45-metre by 13.3-metre mural was created by graffiti artist Sergio Rinquest, also known as Serge One. It pays homage to the beauty of Cape Town while incorporating themes of netball, women’s empowerment and hope.
