The project, which began late last month, was completed by the middle of this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 38 councillor <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/ngamayeyeye-kwiilokishi-zabantsundu-emva-kokoluswa-kooxholovane\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"264019\">Suzanne Zumana<\/a> described the facility as &#8220;a breath of fresh air&#8221;. She related how young people of the area had been struggling for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-the-facility-offers\">What the facility offers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur children had nowhere to go. Mostly they played at the Zolani Centre in Nyanga or Gugulethu Sports Complex. The new facility includes basketball, netball, five-a-side soccer as well as outdoor gym equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safety-concerns-before-the-sports-facility\">Safety concerns before the sports facility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>She said there previously had been no playground in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capetown.gov.za\/Family%20and%20home\/see-all-city-facilities\/our-recreational-facilities\/Community%20centres\/KTC%20Community%20Hall\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.capetown.gov.za\/Family%20and%20home\/see-all-city-facilities\/our-recreational-facilities\/Community%20centres\/KTC%20Community%20Hall\">KTC<\/a> and some children had been robbed while travelling to other areas to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started this playground from scratch. The outdoor gym equipment was installed last year. We&#8217;re hoping the children and community will protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/ward-38-unveils-free-gym-to-promote-fitness\/\">Ward 38 unveils free gym to promote fitness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-community-leaders-support\">Community leaders support <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) committee member Lumkile Msila described the construction of the multi-purpose recreational facility for children as part of broader community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are preparing our future leaders.
