THE Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Sport is meeting Bulawayo City councillors Saturday morning to get an appreciation of the local authority’s thrust in providing facilities.
Deputy director in the Ministry of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture Isaiah Mpofu confirmed the meeting on Saturday morning.
The councillors and parliamentarians will visit Barbourfields Stadium.
Committee chairperson Farai Jere and his committee have been to Harare, Mutare, Masvingo, Zvishavane, Hwange and Victoria Falls to get an appreciation of the situation on the ground.
While enroute to Victoria Falls on Wednesday, they toured Khumalo Hockey Stadium and Queens Sports Club.
Of concern is the dilapidation of facilities countrywide and promotion of bars at the expense of sport and recreation, according to Jere.
