6 Fan parks for Mpumalanga

Nelspruit – Fans not able to attend World Cup games at Mbombela stadium in Mpumalanga can still watch the games at one of six public viewing areas, the provincial government says.

"The Mpumalanga department of culture, sport and recreation would host the six public viewing areas (PVAs) across the province to ensure that the football-loving public follows the tournament in the same electric atmosphere that will prevail in the stadiums and Fan Fests."

In Nkangala, there would be a PVA at Themba Senamela Stadium in Mhluzi which would show the Bafana Bafana/Mexico and Uruguay/France matches on June 11 starting at 16:00 and again at 20:30.

The final would be shown at the Kameelrivier stadium in Dr JS Moroka Municipality on July 11.

Gert Sibande residents would feel the vibe at eMbalenhle stadium with the showing of the Group H match between Honduras and Chile at 13:30, the Bafana Bafana/Uruguay match at 16:00 and Spain versus Switzerland at 20:30.

Another PVA in the region would be set up at the Mayflower stadium in Albert Luthuli Municipality where locals could watch Bafana Bafana versus France at 16:00 and Nigeria versus Korea at20:30.

Ehlanzeni would also be part of the World Cup fanfare.

The region would host two PVAs at Thulamahashe and KaMhlushwa stadiums in which all Bafana Bafana, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final matches would be shown.

"With the hosting of the PVAs we do not want our people to miss the World Cup action," said MEC Vusi Shongwe.

Entrance to the areas would be free.
