The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has provided R10.5m this year to the Southern Kings to help it prepare for entry into the Super 15 next year.
Municipality spokesperson, Kupido Baron, says a budget adjustment was made last night by the Metro's budget and treasury committee.
He says he's confident that it will be money well spent because they will ensure that the Kings are competitive in the Super Rugby season next year.
The initiative shows the municipality's support for the development of sport and will assist in the longevity of the stadium.
