A delegate who was part of the workshop told Chronicle that Council was expected to start renovation work at the stadium soon. The delegate is quoted as having said:<\/p>\n

The council then appraised the delegates that the refurbishment of Chinotimba stadium will be underway soon as it also emerged that the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) and the Ministry (sports) at the provincial level were never consulted or at least informed about the decision of the council to abandon Chinotimba Stadium.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t talk of High or Podium performance athletes from the province without supporting infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Last month Victoria Falls town clerk Ronnie Dube said the council had decided to abandon the facility because it had ceased to serve its purpose.<\/p>\n

He said the council was making efforts to identify land and development partners to build a proper stadium that can promote sports tourism.<\/p>\n
