It was quite sad earlier today when I drove past the Boet Erasmus rugby stadium and saw how dilapidated to the once well known land mark had become. What is worse is that the perimeter wall and entrance has now become a dump site for contractors working in the area to get rid of their rubble.
On the subject of old buildings, why does the government or municipality not implement a law whereby the owner of that building has to keep it in a respectable condition. If the owner fails to do, then the building gets demolished and he is billed for all costs involved! This will also help eradicate unsavoury characters.
