Peter Mokaba Stadium Info
The form of the largely concrete structure is inspired by the locally iconic
Baobab tree, with the steel structure supporting the roof plane gathered
together at each corner of the Stadium and supported by giant ‘trunk' structures
which accommodate vertical circulation ramps and service cores. A
hierarchy of ‘tree' structures runs through the scheme, emphasizing the
efficiency of the design through the repetition of elements.
The bowl is formed with four two tier stands, the lower tiers of which join
at the corners creating a full bowl aesthetic with executive facilities
accommodated in the West Stand, below which players, press, parking and support
facilities are located. The site has been arranged to offer convenient access,
parking and circulation for supporters attending both Football and Rugby
fixtures as well as for Groups gathering for concerts and rallies.
The new 45,000 seat stadium will have 500-seat VIP area with its own
entrance, seats for 1 675 media representatives, an 800-m˛ VIP reception area
and lounge, offices and storage areas, and parking for both players and
officials. In this prestigious complex, the first of its kind in the entire
province of Limpopo, The Peter Mokaba Stadium will be home to local
soccer teams as well as facilitate a wide range of South African sport
competitions including rugby.
Construction figures such as how many tons of steel and concrete, how many
