Broadcaster Anele Mdoda booked out the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday for her son’s 10th birthday.

Hiring the Bullring
The cost to hire Wanderers Stadium varies depending on the specific area, the type of event, and the facilities required.
The Wanderers Stadium didn’t respond to The Citizen’s price enquiries at the time of publishing.
People can also book a spot in the Sun Zone or the Family Area, where prices ranged between R3 750 and R7 500 per day in 2022, according to the Gauteng Cricket Board’s website.
Alakhe said he wanted a cricket party so we said DP WANDERERS!!!
