Budget constraints stop extension of National Diamond

The decision came after recommendations by a task force appointed to look into the issue. The task force recommended that the works should be abandoned because the funds allocated were insufficient.

The BSA will instead develop a training field to be used as the main pitch in the interim because the National Diamond has been demolished. BSA president, Marumo Morule, said they realised they would not be able to develop two pitches (the main one and the other for training) at the same time because of insufficient funds.
