Soweto residents are calling for better maintenance and security at the Shap Stadium near Mofolo Park, following the death of a jogger.
The outraged residents said the stadium is a danger to the community because of the overgrown bushes around the structure.
Shirley Mthiyane’s body was found in an old toilet at the stadium over the weekend.
She had left her home for a run last Thursday and never returned.
The beloved jogger was laid to rest on Thursday.
This resident said authorities have failed them: “Our councillors are failing us; we have been reporting this issue for a long time. When you are inside the stadium no one can see you, that’s why we go there in groups. Our government is failing us, they are truly failing us.’’
