The City of Cape Town says the construction of the Greenpoint Stadium roof is behind schedule but is only expected to be complete by September.

The strong winds that lashed the City last week prevented engineers from raising the roof by Thursay last week.

The City says the glass roof would only be put into place once cabling was lifted to its correct height of 35 metres above pitch.

City Spokesperson Pieter Cronje says “the stadium is making good progress, and this is an important milestone for the stadium which is on track for completion for the 14 December this year.”
