Last month, South Africa's department of labour gave the city 60 days to make sure the 'sky car' was safe after it stalled and left people stranded. An inspector found the hydraulic brakes had not been regularly checked.
Moses Mabhida Stadium manager Tim te Haar said on Thursday that "given the sky car's features ... it is expected we would experience teething problems."
Te Haar said at no time was the sky car considered unsafe.
The cable car moves along a 350m arch, 106m above the pitch.
The Durban stadium will host the second World Cup semi-final.
