Stadium eagerly awaited
On track to open end of year } Sidwell Guduka THE Seisa Ramabodu Stadium is on track for completion by the end of the year. This is according to Premier Ace Magashule in his State of the Province Address (Sopa) at the University of the Free State’s Vista Campus on Tuesday, 24 February.

We really miss the atmosphere we used to create there,” said Botha Msila, the most recognisable Celtic fan. “We are hoping that all our supporters will return to the stadium in their numbers when our stadium has been completed. “Most of our supporters are unemployed and they cannot afford to travel to town or Botshabelo to watch the team. “The Seisa Ramabodu Stadium is walking
