Hon Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the Cape Town Stadium was handed over to Fifa for the state-of-the-art competition, the 2010 Fifa World Cup;
2) further notes that this stadium was built in 33 months, employed 2 500 workers and almost 1 500 received training on site by the contractors;
3) recognises that the stadium, built by Murray & Roberts and WBHO, has 500 toilets, 360 urinals, 115 turnstiles, 16 lifts and a ring of fire, thanks to the 360 floodlights, and many more facilities;
4) acknowledges that the 68 000-seater stadium is also hailed by Fifa as one of the country's best and has added to the green status of environmental standards; and
5) therefore congratulates the DA-led Metro Council of Cape Town on this wonderful achievement.
