I'm so disappointed with onye army and Ben when there argued that there's no stadium called odi stadium
I am so disapointed to hear that Tshwane has earmarked the stadium for demolition.Why can't they renovate it or at least repurpose the grand stands to meet the PSL status.Wjat do they mean by multipurpose park.This simply means they want to reduce the stadium to a mere park.This is really absurd.The stadium was useful during the times when black South Africa had no facilities.Now that FIFA 2010 has seen the erection of new stadia and rebuilding of existing ones,our Odi stadium was left to delapidate deliberately.This hatret for and loath of Mangope has really brought misery to former Bop constituents.We feel betrayed by the anc .They used us to get rid of Mangope now they spit us like sugersucked chewing gum.Now we are 3rd class cityzen s of Tshwane.We are now very very disgrantled.
the anc government abandoned both Odi and Mmabatho stadias, with the intention to erase Former Bophuthatswana legacy. same thing with industrial sites, and Teachers colleges.
I cant sleep at night because of this iconic mega structure just standing there and been waisted, I am willing to talk to the city see if they can allow us to find the right investors who can re build the stadium and make it the iconic monument in our community of mabopane,ga rankuwa, soshanguve, and other closed by township. This stadium has been standing for almost 30 year and it can be rebuild, improved, and modified only if we can put our Hope's on that and it will stand more 300 years. All Hope's have been lost from the up coming soccer players to the community would we be sad and just let it go I say no I will fight if need be to keep our kadi pride #odistadium.... #mapopanegaintstadium
the 2010 legacy should have benefitted this iconic stadium teams are sharing stadiums and yet we got stadiums that are neglected what a shame South Africa
As a football fan,I remember Odi Stadium for many classic games. The stadium should have benefited from the Fifa 2010 World Cup Legacy program. A bit of an upgrade on power and water line,will do just fine.
