STADIUMS
These are costly infrastructure and are really needed in some very populated areas where crime, drugs, school drop out and high unemployment exists. Sports is a way of unifying all people. Sporting talent can only be untapped if we have these faculties. The MF is fighting for a stadium in Phoenix, with a sizeable population of mainly law – socio-economic people. Local government must utilize the MIG – Municipal infrastructure grant from National to give us these sporting facilities.
