Hi VC
"The Cape Town Stadium is for SOCCER and the development of the game, not for leisure of the white monopoly capital." I'm not sure that the above is true. The stadium is built such that musical concerts, YCL district conferences as well as weddings - never mind rugby (or Cricket as we saw at Moses Mabhida stadium recently) could be staged there. I just think that these stadiums could really become white elephant we want to insist that they be utilised strictly for soccer and nothing else. There's nothing wrong with those parties there so long as they paid for the venue at a rate that they'll charge anyone else.

In as much we do not want the stadium to become a white elephant, also we do not want it to be abused for capitalist interests rather than its sole purpose. We are hoping that this new agenda is not for capital consolidation of the big fat capitalists in DA and want use the stadium to make money through running meaningless concerts, etc. If the DA wants to generate income to maintain the stadium, it must host major sporting events such as Bafana Bafana games, youth soccer tournaments and allow the Cape Town Based Clubs to use the stadium as their home ground. Furthermore, take half of the takings to develop other soccer fields in the city, particularly in Khayelitsha, Filipi and Nyanga. As youth organization of the Working Class Party we will never allow DA to abuse the 2010 South African Heritage for their own capitalist interests and generate money to build a mini Britain in the areas of Sea Point, Camps Bay and ignore the poor people in the location. We want all the people of the Cape to reject this agenda of DA and we even call upon the Ministry of Sport to intervene on this matter. The Cape Town Stadium is for SOCCER and the development of the game, not for leisure of the white monopoly capital.
