The Cape Town 2010 Soccer Stadium in Greenpoint was opened last night by Premier Helen Zille and Executive Mayor Dan Plato, along with the team from WBHO and Murray & Roberts, for the official 'roof-wetting' ceremony.
What is usually an informal braai as a roof-wetting to any new building, turned out to be quite a spectacular evening for 2000 people. The contractors and representatives from the various professional teams were in attendance - Entertained by the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Richard Cock, Mezzo Suprano Magdalene Minnaar, The Twenty Tennors, Neal Prinz and the Sterling Electric Quartet.
These are some of the first photographs of the inside of the Cape Town 2010 Soccer Stadium.
The official hand-over to the City of Cape Town will be on Monday, 14th December 2009. In the Premier's own words, "Good Job! I knew I could trust this team."
Well done, City of Cape Town!
