The City of Cape Town has announced plans for new sports facilities in Imizamo Yethu and Dunoon, South Africa, as part of a programme to restore "past imbalances".

Dunoon sports fields are to be upgraded in the first of the two projects, which is to include a new cricket pitch; netball and basketball courts; and a new clubhouse facility.

Stormwater drainage will also be installed as part of the project, which is due for completion by June 2013 and will cost ZAR2m (US$239,000, EUR190,000, £151,000).

Meanwhile, a ZAR5m (US$598,000, EUR475,000, £377,000) complex at Imizamo Yethu is to include two sports fields and ablution facilities for teams currently using the grounds.

Tandeka Gqada, mayoral committee member for community services, said: "With these facilities, we are once again committing to our promise of being a Caring and Inclusive City."
