Residents of Bulawayo who live around the area told ZimEye.com that they have been observing a huge in and out movement at the stadium of sophisticated vehicles and personnel.

“We are very scared of the developments as highly sophisticated vehicles and people are roaming in and around the stadium including the areas around our residency,” said a Mr Mhlophe from Pelandaba township in the area.
