Nelspruit - Clean-up operations began on Tuesday after a heavy storm toppled a tower crane and caused additional damage at the construction site of the R1 billion 2010 soccer stadium in Nelspruit.

The storm swept through Mpumalanga’s capital city between 3pm and 4pm on Sunday, uprooting trees and damaging buildings, houses and vehicles.
