I'm not too sure. I assume after this structure is up. Bearing in mind the stadium is drawing close to its completion date.

For more of the stadium, check out page 57.
Dont forget Besides the stadium, there are upgrades to our main train station and new trains, a New transport system, a Major upgrade to our current Airport (Cape Town International Airport) and other upgrades to roads etc.

no snow on ground level here. This year's winter was very uneventful with lots of warm days and no major storms that I can recall.

In fact this years June 11 to July 11 was pretty decent weather.
