Johannesburg - A construction company was attempting to obtain a court order to prevent all sporting events, including the World Cup, from being held at the Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria, SABC reported.
The HBC Construction company, formerly Homeless Building Construction, claimed the Tshwane Metro Council owed them over R28m for construction work to upgrade the stadium for the World Cup.
