Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture

(1).Whether a certain person (name furnished) did business with the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee before the specified person became a board member; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what (a) services were provided by the person and (b) settlements were made; (2). whether he has found any conflict of interest as the person is part of the current board; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the further, relevant details?

Reply:

In terms of Section 13 (5) (b) (ii) of the National Sport and Recreation Act, the Minister is debarred from involvement in matters of administration in sport. Therefore, the Minister cannot pronounce on whether there is a conflict of interest because this is an administrative matter for SASCOC to manage.
