A 'rough and tumble' football pitch over the road from the Royal Bafokeng Sports Campus. Obviously it isn't an A-grade pitch, one of Capello’s fundamental demands for an England training base. However George Khounou, the managing director of Royal Bafokeng Sports, is adamant that when the complex is complete it will boast eight football pitches — two of them Fifa A-grade pitches Photograph: Brett Eloff

Two miles away from the hotel is the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace stadium which sits in the 1,400 hectares that the Bafokeng tribe own in and around Rustenburg. The tribe uses the estimated £40m it receives each year from platinum mining royalties to build infrastructure for the community Photograph: Brett Eloff
