- Government sets target for Ntcheu Stadium
Government has set 30th June, 2025, as a deadline for Ntcheu Stadium to commence some of its operations.
Deputy Minister of Local Government and National Unity, Joyce Chitsulo, made the remarks on Tuesday during a visit to Ntcheu district council to appreciate some of the projects that are being undertaken in the district.
She said it is unfortunate that the project has stalled for three years now.
“At 95 percent completion, it should not be too much work to be done by the end of June 2025,” said Chitsulo and added that it is President Chakweras wish to have Ntcheu Stadium operational.
Finance Service Committee Chairperson, Councilor Jumbe Mambo, said once opened, the stadium is more likely to boost revenue for the council.
Ntcheu District Sports Officer, Mathero Kambalame Sitima, said the facility will not only promote football in the district but also other sports disciplines.
“Besides football, there are so many sporting activities that the stadium will promote, such as netball, volleyball, among others,” said Sitima.
Sitima said the delay in completing the stadium is forcing sporting activities to be conducted using school grounds, which sometimes would end up in a clash with school activities.
The stadium project, which is worth K4.6 billion, has various key elements such as the VVIP building, VIP covered stands, general uncovered stands, football pitch and running track, security metal fence around the football pitch, a screen wall perimeter fence and entrance gates, four ticketing offices and four ablution blocks.
The deputy minister also visited Gomani Chikuse Community Day Secondary School, which was constructed under the Constituency Development Fund and the District Development Fund.
