The Nelson Mandela Bay stadium recently launched the Green Hub initiative as part of ongoing efforts to improve its environmental management commitment.

The initiative, which is being conducted in partnership with The Waste Trade Company, aims to educate the community about suitable environmental practices through the conservation of resources.

Through the initiative the stadium and the Waste Trade Company hope to create and cultivate positive relationships with stakeholders through the appropriate management.

“The Green Hub initiative invites us all to consider how we can make changes in our everyday lives to reduce the heavy burden of pollution. It is call to action for all of us to come together to combat environmental challenges of our time. We also have a responsibility to ensure that that the planet remains unspoilt for future generations ” said Mpho Mokonyama, Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium Manager

“This will not only be beneficial for the stadium but the community at large, as it will provide a platform which creates job opportunities, community engagement and alleviation of hunger through the envisaged vegetable garden. This strategic direction will ensure that the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is used to its fullest potential” added Mokonyama.

The first phase of the initiative will commence in July 2018, where the ground work will be prepared for a successful project.
