KwaZulu-Natal Premier Honourable Thamsanqa Ntuli led the official opening of the 2 500 seater Mangosuthu Buthelezi Indoor Sports Centre, in Ulundi, on Friday 30 October 2026.

In his remarks, Premier Ntuli said the Indoor Sports revives the legacy of Dr Buthelezi and the heritage of the Zulu nation as represented by King Cetshwayo.

He said the centre will go a long way in forging a healthy lifestyle and keeping the busy with various sporting activities.

The Premier also urged the community to take care of the Mangosuthu Indoor Sports Centre, by safeguarding and protecting it from vandalism.

"If you destroy or vandalise this centre - you will not only be damaging it - but you will be ruining the legacy, heritage and bravery of the leaders and kings who paved the way for Ulundi to be what it is today," said Premier Ntuli.

Durban has done it. KwaZulu-Natal has done it. History has been made.

I am incredibly proud to congratulate the City of eThekwini, Durban, on being announced as the Preferred City to Bid for the 2036/40 Olympic & Paralympic Games.
