Exploring an Abandoned Stadium (Oppenheimer Stadium - Orkney) - Urbex South Africa [Ep.26]

__IN THIS EPISODE:__
More than 3x decades ago, on 13 January 1991, a tragedy happened that would leave a nation in shock. This location, known as the Oppenheimer Stadium, once hosted sporting events, including soccer matches between some of the biggest football clubs in South Africa.
On the outskirts of a Gold-mining town named Orkney, the remnants of this Stadium can still be seen. Including the memorial wall, erected in remembrance of the 42 soccer fans that died on that fateful day, in a place that was meant for fun and celebration.
So, join us as we explore what remains of this place, ravaged by a sad history, looting and scrapping during the pandemic lockdowns, and the slow decay of time…

Excellent - left one with a serious prayer: “Do not abandon me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭38‬:‭21‬ ‭AMP‬‬

OMG! That's really sad. Horrible! That has nothing to do with football, it's pure violence. Some people has nothing in the brain.

[@TheRogueUrbex]

I agree, the sad thing is that a similar incident occurred barely 10 years later, between the same 2x team's supporters. And almost the same number of deaths. It is unfathomable how people could get so crazy over something as simple as soccer 🤦‍♂️
