The Mthatha Stadium, a legacy project of the 2010 Fifa World Cup hosted in SA 15 years ago, has not hosted any matches in 2025, sparking concerns that the facility is becoming a white elephant.
While the R230m stadium continues to host music festivals and government events such as the summit headed by forestry, fisheries and environment deputy minister Bernice Swarts in May, the goalposts are lying on the ground and the pitch has been cordoned off.
