A Dream Career in Tourism
The Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal
The Moses Mabhida Stadium is a stadium in Durban, KwaZulu Natal, named after Moses Mabhida, a former General Secretary of the South African Communist Party.
The stadium had the capacity to hold 62,760 spectators during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Its design allows the stadium seating to be adjusted; 54,000 for local matches or up to 80,000 for events such as the Olympic Games. It has two permanent tiers of seating; a temporary third one was added for the World Cup.
By contrast, the Moses Mabhida Stadium with its facilities is not only a tourist attraction in its own right, but also the centrepiece of the King's Park Sporting Precinct, which will support a wide range of sporting, commercial, cultural, retail and leisure activities seven days a week, 365 days a year.
