The revised building plans for the Green Point multi-purpose stadium for the 2010 Soccer World Cup, has been approved by the City of Cape Town at a special meeting held on Monday.

“Until now, the foundations of the stadium have been under construction on the basis of two provisional building plans authorisations,” says Executive Mayor, Helen Zille.

The High Court case set down for 13 August 2007, to hear the challenge against the stadium by Cape Town Environmental Protection Association (CEPA) was postponed due to the extent and difficulty of the case.

“Because of pressing time constraints the construction of the stadium will proceed to programme," says Executive Director for Service Integration Mike Marsden, who is also responsible for 2010 in the City.
