Stables Market tenants given more time

Sithole has been speaking at a media briefing on the planned multi-million rand Hoypark Sports Academy which will be situated where the stables are. 

He says of the R300-million earmarked for the development the city has contributed R7.5-million over the next three years and provincial government has forked out R10-million.

Sithole says the rest will come from other partners.

''We are now at a stage where we believe nothing should stop us from building what we believe is a post 2010 legacy - that will move us closer to cultivating us as a sports capital of the world.

''For example, we are currently bidding for the Commonwealth Games and we have been assured that there's a realistic chance that we will actually get the event coming to Durban,'' he said.
