TWO weeks after management of the Bellville United Soccer Club approached the media following a spate of vandalism and theft, the City said it has invested more than R2.7 million into the sports facility and others in the community.
Earlier, club management said they pleaded for more than 10 years for flood lights for the facility and for repairs to be done to damaged infrastructure caused by criminals.
They also called for improved security measures at the club situated at the sportsground in Peter Barlow Street
Following their complaint, the facility has seen additional break-in which left their electrical infrastructure damaged.
The City’s Recreation and Parks Department said they were aware of the spate of burglaries.
