The stadium also hosted the Nedbank Cup fixture between Soweto giants Orlando Pirates and Maluti FET College.
By 2021, the stadium was derelict, with the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality stating that they intended to refurbish it.[2]
As of 2023, R14 million had been spent on refurbishments, but the condition of the stadium was still described as "deplorable" and a "testament to corruption" by the Democratic Alliance.[3]
