FNB Stadium Could Collapse, Here Why

FNB Stadium Could Collapse, Here Why! Mayor Herman Mashaba has warned that FNB sports stadium could eventually collapse as a result of illegal mining in the area.

Mashaba said he had written to national authorities to alert them to the risks posed by explosives used in illegal mining.

“It is greatly disappointing that the City of Johannesburg has not received feedback from National Government on a matter which could ultimately lead to the loss of hundreds of lives. Of significance is the Nasrec precinct where the pipeline intersects with Sasol gas lines‚” Mashaba said.

“Investigations have revealed that if illegal mining activity continues within these old mining shafts‚ the entire FNB Nasrec precinct‚ including the iconic FNB stadium‚ could go down in ruins as a result of unstable earth directly underneath the area.”
