08 Mar 2010
Suffolk Chamber member, Ransomes Jacobsen, the Ipswich-based turf equipment manufacturer, has delivered a selection of mowing equipment to maintain the stadium and training facilities to be used at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa this summer. The equipment has been supplied by their South African distributor, CSE Equipment of Johannesburg. Jacobsen mowers will be used to maintain the pitches at three of the six new stadiums, one of the existing stadiums and two of the training venues. The new stadiums are the 45,264 seat Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane in the north of the country; the Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban, with a capacity of 69,957; and the Mbombela stadium in Nelspruit, a two hour drive northeast of Johannesburg, which can accommodate 43,589 fans. David Withers, managing director of Ransomes Jacobsen said: “It’s a great feeling to know that Ipswich has a connection with such a major sporting occasion, probably the biggest televised event across the globe.”
