Mulalo says it took him 12 years to finish NegoCity the way it stands now. Initially, the man used mud to build the stadium but quickly realized that it would be washed away as soon as it starts to rain and he’d have to rebuild it again. That’s why it took some time for the man to find the suitable material for the stadium.
Mulalo started the project back in 2008 after seeing the FNB Stadium on TV
Mulalo has some pretty big plans for the future – he plans to build a huge Soccer Museum in South Africa that would be called 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP MEMORIAL PARK MUSEUM. The man says it would be the first soccer museum in the world, as well as in FIFA history.
