DSAC has prioritised the Code Specific training as approved by the International Federations and the National Federations for Women and the effects thereof will be visible as from 2020. As a result, rugby, football and cricket’s national women teams at an under 15 and under 17 levels have shown an increase in all provinces as did the number of women coaches and referees.

Following the 2017/18 EPG report in which women‘s position in sport was compared to that of men in 19 sports in Dashboard format, this indicate that funding continues to be a challenge in women sport, the EPG is in the process of compiling a dashboard on women’s position in the 19 sports codes on its own. This will bring sharper focus and a basis for comparison of women in sport annually.

The National Federations that are part of the Eminent Person Group Report (EPG) are required to outline the programmes aimed at addressing the key findings / shortcomings as identified in the EPG Report. These programmes form part of the Business Plans that are submitted for the release of annual funding.

In addition, the Federations sign the Agreements wherein they commit to the self-set targets (Barometer targets). These targets form the basis of continuous engagements on the performance of the identified National Federations.

The broadcast of sports events is regulated by the Sports Broadcast Service Regulations. In December 2018, The Independent Communications Authority (ICASA) published the draft Broadcast Services Regulations to amend Broadcast Services Regulations of 2010.

In order to ensure a long-term sustainable broadcast solution regarding sport broadcast rights, ICASA in consultation with Department of Communications and Digital Technologies conducted public hearings so that it can undertake amendments to the Sports Broadcast Service Regulations of 2010 and concluded the public hearings process in May 2019.

The process of further consultation, analysing and finalising the inputs is still in progress.

As provided by the Act, ICASA will communicate with the two Ministries Sports, Arts and Culture and Communications and Digital Technologies prior to publishing the final regulations.

The Ministers of both Sport and Recreation and Basic Education signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2018 committing to the provision of an integrated school sport programme. The MOU identifies various role players who are tasked with delivering physical education and sport in schools. Physical Education is a learning area within the Curriculum of Basic Education.

In line with the integrated strategic framework for Teacher Education and development that has been developed between the Department of Basic Education and Department of Higher Education, teachers are capacitated through Life Orientation subject committees. (national, provincial and district) focussing on Physical Education as a learning area. The Curriculum within the Department of Basic Education identifies training needs and submits to the teacher development unit to facilitate the training of teachers in Physical Education.

The Mass Participation and Sport Development Grant from the Department of Sport and Recreation that is allocated to Provinces makes provision for 38% of the grant to be allocated to the School Sport Programme, annually.

Of the allocated amount, 10% is ring-fenced for training of educators which includes training of coaches in specific codes of sport.

1. The ASA Board received a mandate from the ASA Council at the ASA QGM in 2016 to align the ASA Development Strategy, to achieve success at the Olympic Games, as its primary objectives.
2. In this regard ASA has a National Development Strategy which is available on the ASA website http://www.athletics.org.za/centresofexcellence.
3. Athletics is a labour intensive sport which requires substantial resources to engage large quantities of athletes, coaches, officials and administrators at all levels of participation.
4. With the above in mind, the ASA Development Programme is an all-inclusive programme.

1. KZNA submitted the questions after the deadline stipulated by the notice of the AGM.
2. The ASA Board did have the answers on the KZNA questions ready, but the ASA Council instructed the Board not to answer, as KZNA did not follow constitutional protocol.
3. Furthermore KZNA submitted Delegates for the AGM after the deadline. One of the 2 Delegates was not eligible as per ASA Constitution.
4. The ASA Council ruled that the KZNA President must be allowed to be part of the Council Meeting but the ineligible member was not allowed to attend the ASA Council meeting.
5. The KZNA President refused to be part of the ASA Council, and the ASA Council, with a quorum present, continued without the KZNA Delegation present.
6. The ASA Council also reprimanded KZNA for submitting the financial statements to the media soon after ASA send the ASA Financial Statements to the ASA Members for scrutiny, but KZNA fail to submit the questions on the financial statements to the ASA Council in time.
7. The ASA Council also mandated the ASA board to consult the KZNA regarding the manner the KZNA Delegation tried to intimidate and discredit the ASA Council.

(ii) a copy of ASA's annual budget and business plan for the (a) 2016-17, (bb) 2017-18 and (cc)2018-19 financial years and

a) The ASA Business Plan was endorsed at the 2016 ASA AGM and is effective for the period 2016 – 2020, in other words for the 4 years from Olympic Games to Olympic Games.

b) The Business Plan and annual budgets are attached.

 

(b) what percentage of ASA's total income is attributable to:

a From 2014 to 2017, 100% of the ASA income was applied mainly due to the debt of more than R20 000 000.00 liabilities, inherited mainly from the previous Boards of 2010 & 2012, as well as projects according the ASA Business Plan.

b) Although some of the projects where scaled down during the period 2014 – 2017 to adhere to budget constraints, none of the ASA projects were cancelled and took place successfully.

(i) fees/commission charged by ASA on road running events,

a) ASA charged no commission or fees for any event including Road Races.

b) Provinces do charge levies on events, but ASA has no access to these resources as it is intended to finance the development of athletics at provincial and club level.

(ii) sponsorship related to road running events and

a) ASA did not have a Road Running Sponsor since 2010. National Road Running events are funded from levies from the sale of licenses.

b) The primary challenge is clubs called “Corporate Clubs” whom claim special treatment, yet contaminate the commercial space with their branding on clothing, in violation with IAAF advertising regulations.

c) All clubs are equal within ASA structures. The fact that some clubs are financially stronger does not give “Corporate Clubs” special rights within ASA.

d) “Corporate Clubs” whom claim to sponsor athletes, do not contribute towards the funding of races where their athletes must run, and fail to assist on expenses related to funding South African teams to international events.

e) “Corporate clubs” are using athletes as “running billboards” and very little of the commercial profits from such exposure is invested in developing athletics.

(iii) (iii) the issuing of ASA permanent licences to road runners and/or road running clubs? NW2461E

a) ASA obtain income annually on average R2 400 000.00 from the sale of licenses.

b) On average the cost of printing the licenses are R1 300 000.00.

c) The remaining income on license levies, on average R1 100 000.00, are used to subsidize the provinces who host the National Road Running Championships ( 10km; 21.1km; 42.2 km) and prize money for the road running category winners.

Expenses from Road Running often are more than the income obtained from licenses and have to be balanced from other income

The Task Team charged with the inquiry completed its task. In response to the recommendation made, the then Minister appointed Mr Mthobi Tyamzashe as the facilitator to SASCOC. On the weekly basis since then meets the SASCOC’s Organisational Development Task Team to map out and implementing the report.

Some of the recommendation depends on the amendment of the law which is before Parliament. The Parliamentary process will determine the pace of implementation.

Some of the issues will be dealt with at the SASCOC Annual General Meeting to be held in November of this year.

1.(a). The payment on the court yard project was delayed due to delayed submission of reports from Department of Public Works.

(b). the recovery basis is purely to claim for work done and this has been the practiced by DPW for many years. DAC does not transfer funds to DPW in advance.

(2)(a). the project has from the onset been allocated to DPW.

(b). the project is on construction stage.

(c). the project contract commencement date was the 29th June 2012 and site hand over date was 14 January 2013

3.(a)(i). R 296 000 000 has been budgeted for this project

(ii). R 252 384 531

(b). The delays were due to:

• During procurement stage, the site hand over was delayed because the Department of Public Works could not find a suitable off-site storage to relocate all collections from the museum therefore the site was never handed over totally to the contractor. The site hand over was therefore delayed by over a year.
• It was then agreed that the museum collections and staff will be moved from floor to floor after completion of the works on those floors.
• Most of the stored collection were stored in alcohol and other flammable liquids in big tanks that took a year to store in the basement. It has not been easy to work on the project that is occupied.
• During construction, the only compliant appointed specialized subcontractor responsible for the installation of compactus storage facility went under liquidation. The liquidation process and the procurement of the new subcontractor took long to complete.

The President has taken note of the request and taken the following view regarding the request:

(i) That there is an unprecedented proliferation which has resulted in too many Commissions of Inquiry been established. Besides, the Ngoepe Commission of Inquiry that investigated and reported on the Ellis Park soccer tragedy in 2001 has already constituted rules that relate to incidences in sport at stadiums and elsewhere which should rather be utilized and built on instead of opting to build afresh;

(ii) That we must reflect on all tools in available toolboxes and exhaust all remedies, actions, etc. that stem from the findings and recommendations of the Ngoepe Commission of Inquiry;

(iii) That Commissions of Inquiry have limitations and as such should not be regarded as the first or last resort as there are other avenues to pursue preferably; and

(iv) That even though one can pursue the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry, it would be far quicker and practical, amongst others, to execute applicable and available processes to ensure proper law enforcement and criminal investigations for effective outcomes in the above regard.

At the said meeting of the said former Ministers, the following resolutions were subsequently taken:

That a meeting of Ministers of Justice and Correctional Service, Sport and Recreation and the Police and the National Director of Public Prosecutions (Acting) be convened to discuss the following, amongst others:

(a) The state of and progress made in relation to both the FNB Stadium tragedy and the Moses Mabhida incident relating to failure to comply with the Safety at Sports and Recreational Events Act or any other law including common law by any law enforcement entity or functionary;

(b) The state of, progress and outcome of an Inquest relating to the death of two soccer fans during the FNB Stadium tragedy;

(c) All litigation finalized or pending initiated in any court by any of the functionary involved in the FNB Stadium tragedy and the outcome of the said litigation and its impact;

(d) Any intervention that is necessary and required to address:

(i) Failure or inability by any law enforcement entity or agent to comply with the SASREA or any other law, including common law;

(ii) Complicity or perception thereof in relation to the investigation by the SAPS; and

(iii) Possible and potential gaps in the SASREA and possible amendments to the Act to address same; and

(iv) Alternative means to addressing challenges and gaps in organizing and planning major soccer derbies and other major sporting events to avoid recurrence, including communication and awareness raising prior and before such major events.

It will hence not be necessary to –

• establish a Commission of Inquiry any more since we have, on the advice of the Department of Justice, decided to execute alternative applicable and available processes as motivated above so as to ensure proper law enforcement and criminal investigations for effective outcomes in the above regard; and
• cater for any budget for such a Commission of Inquiry any more.

We will liaise with the Department of Justice afresh since they have undertaken to lead the way by coordinating and chairing the meetings referred to above.

Reply:

Based on the advice of the Khoe Nama and San National Language Body (KSNLB), we do not have what we call a Khoisan language. We however speak of Khoe and San languages referring to a family of language groups under the Khoi communities and the San communities.

For South Africa, Nama is one of the Khoe group of languages and mostly spoken in the Northern Cape and Western Cape Provinces. It is richer and mostly developed, as compared to all the other languages within the same family group. We have people in the country that can speak, read, write and teach Nama.

In the Northern Cape areas (Kuboes, Lekkersing, Riemvasmaak, Eksteenfontein, Pella, Nabapeeb, Sandrift, Alexanderbay and Steinkopf) Nama was taught in almost 10 schools from Grade 1 to Grade 11 until 2012. Currently Nama is a pilot study for teaching and learning at Riemvasmaak and Kuboes Primary Schools in Grade 1 through efforts of the KSNLB, PanSALB, NC Department of Education, NC Department of Sports, Arts & Culture through the Twinning Agreement for support from Namibia.

The NC Department of Education is busy with a Curriculum and Syllabus for the standardised teaching of Nama in South Africa with the support of PanSALB and Namibia. They have appointed a Provincial Co-ordinator to oversee implementation of the Nama programme in schools and strategic partnerships in this regard.

As for KhoeKhoegowab, it is one of the Khoe and San languages encompassing Nama, Haillom and Damara and mostly used in Namibia and not in South Africa. It is a Khoe language. There is some work, efforts, strides, programmes and initiatives undertaken in the Western Cape province by the Universities (in particular the University of Cape Town) to teach, promote, research and develop KhoeKhoegowab. In 2016 through partnerships with the University of Namibia, PanSALB and the KSNLB launched the KhoeKhoegowab Dictionary Glossarium as a way to show commitment to the promotion, preservation, teaching and development of the Khoe and San languages.

a) (i) Club development (CD)

In 2004, SRSA launched the Mass Participation Programme to address grassroot sport development.

In 2006, Club Development project was launched. The project is now a programme. It is aimed at establishing a clear and seamless pathway for athletes through which they can progress from the entry level of the continuum to the highest echelons of participation.

Foundation

Introduction

The major intent of establishing the Club Development (CD) is to facilitate access to sport and recreation for South Africans and to ensure that those with talent and the will to exploit that talent, are channelled into the mainstream of competitive sport.

Through this CD, SRSA is playing an important role/part in the development pathway of talented athletes by providing for the empowerment of their support staff (coaches, technical officials, administrators and managers) from as low a level as the ward and ensure, together with the other role players, the sustainability of the programme.

The focus of CD will be on athletes at the local level and their support staff. The outcomes of the project would be to eventually benefit the provincial and national federations. The SRSA is envisaging to keep the clubs and or association for a three year cycle with the hope that by that time they will be sustainable.

The lack of financial resources has been a major cause of the inability of many sports people to join the mainstream by affiliating to sports clubs. SRSA has decided to provide assistance through this project that will enhance club formation, training of the relevant support staff, provide sport equipment and the basic attire for competitions to take place.

Strategic objectives

The following were identified as the strategic objectives by SRSA:

• Increase the levels of participation of South Africans in sport and recreation
• Develop the human resource potential for the management of sport and recreation in South Africa
• Ensure that sport and recreation bodies achieve their transformation objectives
• Motivate the communities to develop active lifestyles
• Ensure that those athletes with talent are channeled into the competitive areas of sport
• Contribute, from a sport perspective, to integrated planning and implementation of programmes by the three spheres of government
• Advocate, as a starting point, that high capacity municipal municipalities should participate and fund the initiative within their areas of jurisdiction

Strategic intent

To ensure smooth passage of athletes from one level of the development continuum to the next by encouraging participation through league systems.

1. The Club Pilot System

Introduction

Recognising the above, SRSA through the Club System seeks to create an integrated and sustainable mechanism for the development of clubs on the basis of common and generally acceptable minimum standards

The Club Pilot System seeks to create an integrated and sustainable mechanism

Issues to being addressed

• Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) through the Sub-Unit Club Development has over the years supported clubs by providing capacity building, equipment and playing attire. The support was intended to assist with the establishment of new clubs and development of the existing ones.
• It was discovered that the clubs are not sustainable and that made it difficult for the Department to be able to have a clear picture of what clubs exist, and where.
• This was caused by the fact that the support was spread too thin among the provinces and sporting codes with minimal monitoring on their progress and sustainability. Also, the enthusiasm to move to other clubs and or areas before ensuring that the supported clubs can be able to stand on their own contributed.
• The model utilized over the years was not based on a common system with all standardized minimum requirements to ensure that the clubs graduate towards being self-sustainable.
• Recognising the shortfalls of the past the Department reviewed its plan by introducing the Club Pilot System that will help the country to have a common club system with standardized protocols for clubs.

Stakeholders 

• Sport and Recreation South Africa
• Provincial Department responsible for Sport and Recreation as the lead institution,
• Academy of Sport
• District Municipality
• Local Municipalities
• Provincial Sport Confederation/Council
• District Sport Council
• Local Sport Councils
• Provincial and District Federations

2016-17 = R15.4m

2017-18 = R17.1m

2018-19 = R18.5m

2019-20 = R18.6m

Total = R80m

2. Rural Sport Development Programme

Introduction

The Programme was launched back in May 2016 in Mthatha with the objective of reviving sport and unearthing talent in rural areas with special focus on areas that are under the Traditional Authorities and farms.

Rural sport Development Programme focuses on four sporting codes which are: Football, Netball, Rugby and Athletics

Aim

Develop sport and unearth talent in all Provinces and Traditional Councils with primary focus placed on Farming communities under the guidance of the National House of Traditional Leaders.

Outcomes

• To ensure that rural farms/ communities are equally exposed to sport development and are granted the same resources as urban or semi urban communities.
• To further ensure that resources are made available to all rural communities where they can be able to nature and develop sport.
• To further widen the pool of sport development and broaden the search for sport talent. The Aim of the programme is to revive sport and unearth talent in the rural areas. Provinces and Traditional Councils/ Farming communities are therefore to be utilised as vehicle in achieving the desired outcome.

Stakeholders

• Provincial Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
• Provincial House of Traditional Leaders
• Five identified Traditional Councils
• Provincial Department of Rural Development and Land Reform
• Provincial Department of Agriculture and Fisheries
• District and Local Municipalities servicing the identified Traditional Councils
• Provincial SALGA
• Provincial and District Sport Confederations servicing the identified Traditional Councils or Farming Communities
• Provincial Academy of Sport
• Provincial Federations of Netball, Football, Rugby and Athletics

Conclusion

• Through the Conditional Grant, SRSA has over the years allocated funds to provinces for sport development and talent identification. Of the 100% allocation, CD and RSDP get a bigger percentage.
• Provinces organize provincial championships for Club Development and Rural Sport development Programme.
• At the championships, talent is to identified by federations representative with requisite skills and knowledge.
• Strategic Objective 10: To provide formal sports participation opportunities through integrated and sustainable club structure;

ii) School Sport

The department has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Basic Education. The agreement outlines clear lines of responsibilities between the two departments especially in relation to the establishment of structures. There are six levels of responsibilities which are as follows:

Level 1: Intra School Competition

Level 2: Inter School Competition

Level 3: Area/Cluster Competitions

Level 4: District Competitions

Level 5: Provincial Competitions

Level 6: National Competitions

In terms of the MoU, the Department of Basic Education is responsible for levels 1-3 and Department of Sports, Arts and Culture is responsible for levels 4-6. The department of Basic Education has not provided the data in relation to the structures established as per their responsibility in the MoU. As a result, the School Sport structures that have been established as per the responsibility of the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture are as follows:

PROVINCES	PROVINCIAL	DISTRICT	COMMENTS
	Multicoded School Sport Structure (Joint Provincial Coordinating Committee)	Code Specific	Multicoded School Sport Structure (Joint Provincial Coordinating Committee)	Code Specific
Eastern Cape	0	14	8	14 Codes per district	At Provincial: Tennis and Cricket are a challenge. Hockey structures not aligned to geopolitical districts (Still Eastern Province and Border)
Free State	1	12	1 Metro + 4 districts	12	The following codes work as franchises Rugby, Cricket, Tennis and Hockey. There is no single structure for those codes.
Gauteng	1	16	2 Districts and 3 Metros	16 Codes per district	They have also established Multi-coded structures at Regional level as follows: 4 Tshwane 3 Ekhurhuleni 5 Johannesburg 2 Sedibeng 1 West Rand
Limpopo	1	15	5	0	The Province has also established 4 Structures for IG at Province and District. No code specific structures at district level. Provincial DoE and Sport Department will conduct workshops in July
Kwazulu-Natal	1	9	8	9	The province has challenges with establishment of some of the codes. Only Athletics, Aquatics, Chess, Netball, Football, Volleyball, Softball, Hockey, Gymnastics structures are in place. Rugby and Cricket still work as franchises with no District structures.
Mpumalanga	1	13	4	13	The following codes are established in franchise system Rugby, Cricket and Hockey. So there is no proper alignment to the geopolitical boundaries of the province.
Northern Cape	1	13	5	12	The province has challenges of establishing Swimming, Softball, Tennis and Basketball including IG for School Sport. At a provincial level Basketball is still being established.
North West	1	16	3 out 4 Districts	16	Ngaka-Modiri Molema only has structures established at a local level and Not at District. There are Netball and Athletics structures.
Western Cape	1	16	1 Metro and 5 Districts	13	Rugby, Cricket and Athletics Structures are not aligned to geopolitical boundaries. However, they work with the province to organise all the districts.
TOTAL	8	94	5 Metros and 44 Districts	105

b. What systems of scouting to spot talent were put in place in the various phases of these developmental phases since 27 April 1994?

Since1994 there are two approaches that have been used in identifying athletes with potential for further development. These include Talent Scouting and Scientific Talent Identification.

Talent Scouting

Each Federation has guidelines and criteria they use to spot or scout the athletes with potential for further development. These vary based on the nature of the sport and whether it is a team sport or individual sport.

With individual sports the key assessment element is the performance results. With team sport there are number of variables that are considered depending on the sport.

Scientific Talent Identification

It is the responsibility of the Federations as the custodians of each sport identify talent. This is because the Federations have the requisite technical expertise required to identify and nurture talent. Once an athlete has been spotted, individual sport specific tests are conducted by Sport Scientists to determine and scientifically confirm the potential in order to invest or not to invest in that athlete's development.

Medical assessments are then conducted to determine the general medical status of the athlete. Basic Physiological Tests for junior athletes using the set tests batteries for each code conducted by Sport Scientists. The athletes are thereafter looked after by their respective federations.

During the period 1994 to 2011 there were no transformation targets other than a loosely prescribed ‘quota’ of at least 50% ‘black’ (African, Coloured or Indian) representation for national representative entities without a measurement system and penalty.

In 2011 sport adopted a transformation Charter based on prescribed ‘targets’ in seven categories and recommended the establishment of a ministerial appointed independent transformation Commission in 2011 to monitor, report and make recommendations on the rate and extent of transformation on an annual basis.

This was followed by introducing a ‘Barometer’ process in 2015 in which federations set and projected forward their ‘own’ targets in relevant charter areas as described in a MoA with SRSA and SASCOC. Failure of a federation to achieve at least 50% of its ‘self-set targets could lead to the imposition of one or more prescribed penalties.

Since 2011 six voluminous transformation reports (a seventh is in progress) for sport have been published outlining a progressive individual and comparative profile of sport’s transformation status.

The following table reflect the transformation status of audited federations in terms of the two measurement systems – the Charter and Barometer scorecards in ranking order. As expected, the self-set (more conservative) barometer % target achievement is higher than the prescribed charter targets in most codes.

Federation	% Prescribed one-size-fits-all Charter Targets Achieved	% Self-set and forward projected Barometer Targets Achieved
Football	89	73
Table tennis	67	76
Volleyball	67	33
Cricket	61	59
Amateur boxing	61	10
Softball	56	35
Basketball	56	23
Netball	50	54
Athletics	50	31
Chess	44	27
Rugby	28	60
Baseball	22	50
Gymnastics	17	73
Tennis	17	65
Swimming	17	39
Hockey	11	37
Jukskei	6	39
Bowls	0	-
Rowing	0	-

Nine federations have achieved 50% or more of the pre-set Charter targets whereas eight have achieved 50% or more of their self-set Barometer targets. The latter performances will improve as federations become better skilled in setting and projecting forward targets.

Except for rowing, bowls, jukskei, swimming, tennis and to a lesser extent hockey (all faced with not insignificant sustainability challenges because of resource structures built on a declining predominantly White resource base), demographic transformation progress has been noteworthy over the past five years. In this regard cricket, rugby and netball have responded in exemplary fashion in the way transformation is in the process of being institutionalised in their respective organisations.

The matter had come to the attention of the Minister via media reports. It has to be pointed out that there is no legal requirement for the municipality to inform the Minister in respect of expenditures incurred on municipal accounts. Nevertheless the Minister had tasked the relevant Departmental officials to liaise with the Municipality and the Provincial Department of Sports and Recreation in Limpopo province to establish the facts on this matter and to recommend the appropriate action(s) to take.

In response to question 1 (a) in relation to violence in stadia:

The former Minister of Sport and Recreation established the FNB Stadium Committee of Inquiry to investigate the facts and reasons that led to the death of two soccer fans and injury to others at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. The FNB Committee of Inquiry was subsequently withdrawn as a result of legal technicalities, hence the current Minister of Sport and Recreation decided to approach the President of the Republic to request his Excellency to consider appointing a fully ledged Commission of Inquiry to investigate the tendency to perpetuate violence in stadia in the Republic by soccer fans inclusive of any other violence in sport (e.g. the violence at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria and more recently at the Moses Mabida in Durban, etc.). The President of the Republic has recently referred the request of the Department to establish a Commission of Inquiry to the Department of Justice and Correctional Services. SubsequenUy a meeting was held between the Ministries of Justice and Sport and Recreation to clarify issues and to seek solutions in the above regard.

In In response to question 1(b) in relation to addressing the problems in the sports confederation:

The SASCOC Committee of Inquiry has already finalised its extensive report (more than 140 pages) with regard to the Sports Confederation and has recently submitted its findings, recommendations and observations inclusive of its Executive Summary to the Minister for her perusal and consideration via the normal Departmental channels. The Minister has already perused the report and concurred wholeheartedly the proposed the recommendations as proposed by the SASCOC Committee of Inquiry.

Subsequently the Minister has submitted the report and its Summary to -

• SASCOC;

• the International Olympic Committee ("IOC");

• the International Paralympic Committee ("IPC");

• Mr. TUBBY REDDY
 

for their respective written responses. All their responses are currently being assimilated so as to put the Minister in a favourable position to apply her mind fully insofar as decisions and actions to be considered on the way forward before releasing the said report.

In response to question 2 in relation to what date does she intend to brief the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation regarding the progress:

In relation to stadia violence, the Minister will brief the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation on the progress with regard to the request to the President of Republic for appointing a formal Commission of Inquiry as and when the issues to be clarified and resolved between the Ministries of Justice and Sport and Recreation as referred to earlier have been finalized.

Moreover, the Minister intends to update the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation regarding the progress in relation to SASCOC Committee of Inquiry in December after applying her mind to the responses that she has now received from SASCOC, the IOC, the IPC and Mr. TUBBY REDDY in relation to the findings, recommendations and observations as proposed by the Committee.

{a) There are 455 golf courses of varying sizes - some of nine holes and some of 18 holes. Generally the 18 hole golf course is of around 7000 meters in length but the area of the course is not known. Most golf courses have holes parallel to each other so are somewhat condensed. These are smaller golf courses known as mashie courses and they would be in the region of 3500 metres in length but in the same format as the larger courses - i.e holes running parallel to each other but not restricted to that.

{b) These golf courses are throughout South Africa with all Provinces having golf courses varying in quantity.

(c) Golf RSA does not have precise information on the ownership of the golf courses but the majority, are municipal golf courses with the minority, by far, privately owned.

(a) Since this parliament took a decision to ringfence R300 million from a Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) to implement sport infrastructure projects identified by Department of Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA), in the first year of implementation, 2016/17 thirty (30) projects were allocated and 16 of those have reported completions and some have been officially opened already. Additional 34 and 30 projects were allocated in 2017/18 and current 2018/19 respectively, and all are at different stages of implementation, bringing a total a number of sport facilities funded by department to a cumulative of 94 so far. All these projects were identified by communities through IDP processes and funded by public funds, the MIG, for access and use by the public. None of them are for private use.

(b) Recognising that delivery of local sport facilities is a Schedule 58 mandate of the Constitution of the Republic, the department works collaboratively with municipalities to identify projects sites where these must be built. All sites and locations where these facilities were built were identified by municipalities through their IDP public participation processes, and biasness has been towards areas or settlements of the poor households and this is also a fundamental condition of MIG, targeting the poor.

( c) A separate list with the specifics will be provided if required but facilities that we have built so far are multifaceted and many include combi courts that accommodate sporting codes such as tennis, volleyball, basketball and netball, soccer fields, including one built in Astro turf in Setlagole in the Raltlou municipality in North West, athletic tracks, including those built with tartan rubber material in Free State and Eastern Cape and so on. All our facilities make provision for ablution facilities where they don't exist already, and these upon our instance must be friendly to people with disabilities

a) The AUSC region 5 Youth Games are held bi-annually and on rotational basis among the member states. Hosting is done in alphabetical order of member states. They were previously called the Zone VI games. To date the games still covers the U/20 only, and South African School Sport Championship has participants up to the U18 for abled-bodied and U/19 for people with disability. As a result the age categories are not feasible for School Sport athletes. SASCOC is the body responsible for Team delivery in international Competition and Multicoded events.

b) South Africa last participated at the AUSC Region S Youth Games that were held in Angola 2016. However the Schools do not participate at the Games due to the age categories that are featured at these games.
