Premier Lesufi plans to bring major sporting events to Gauteng: Hosting the Nedbank Cup final at Loftus in Pretoria is part of the grand plan by Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi to turn the province into the preferred destination for major sporting events.
Last weekend, FNB Stadium hosted the hugely popular Monster Jam event and Lesufi said they made a strong case to the PSL to host the Nedbank Cup final on May 27 in Pretoria.Over the past few years, Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, which is reported to be in a state of decay, has been the preferred venue for most of the PSL cup finals.
“By the time we approached the PSL and Nedbank, we didn’t even know who was going to be in the semifinals. We just made a bid to make our presence felt.”“Gauteng is ready to host big events, we have the facilities, you can choose whatever facilities you want, whether you take it to Loftus, Orlando Stadium or FNB Stadium.“We have those facilities and we also have infrastructure in hospitality that can take almost 3-million people in Gauteng immediately.
