The Peter Mokaba Stadium is named after one of the renowned sons of the struggle and emancipation of South Africa against the apartheid regime.
A native of Polokwan, Peter Mokaba now holds much historical significance in South Africa - revered for his leadership abilities and oratory skills.
The design of the largely concrete structure is inspired by the locally iconic Baobab tree, with the steel structure supporting the roof plane gathered together at each corner of the stadium and supported by giant ‘trunk' structures which accommodate vertical circulation ramps and service cores.
The stadium was built next to the old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane in the Limpopo Province.
The newly-built Peter Mokaba Stadium is situated approximately 5km from the city centre, with a total seating capacity of 45,000.
