FRANCISTOWN: The construction of the Isaac Makwala Sports Complex in Tutume has finally started after initial delays. Tutume Sub-District Council chairperson, Anthony Chebane told a full council meeting this week that the facility is being built on a piece of land that has been identified at Magapatona ward.

“The long-awaited construction of the Tutume Mini-Stadium has finally kick-started. Work has been progressing well behind the scenes as evidenced by the recent engagement of two contractors who won the tender to undertake construction works for the project,” Chebane said. Cressiando (Pty) Ltd has been given the tender to construct the boundary wall while Aureole Works (Pty) Ltd has been engaged in the construction of change rooms.

“The two contractors have started mobilising to the site and are expected to start works from the 22nd of November 2021 for a duration of 16 to 15 weeks respectively. Preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony are ongoing,” he added. Chebane said the council will intensify supervision and monitoring of the construction to ensure the timely completion of the project.
