Hy het ook bevestig dat sitplekke en ander fasiliteite gewis aandag gaan geniet en aan die internasionale liggaam (IAAF) se vereistes sal voldoen. Philander het ook sy tevredenheid met die opgradering uitgespreek. Volgens hom kan die opgradering vir veral junior atlete baie beteken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philander het ook genoem dat velditems baie aandag benodig omdat dit tans baie onveilig is.
