The feasibility study on amalgamation of public entities is currently being considered for implementation by the Department. With regards to Robben Island Museum, a recommendation was that the entity be merged with other museums with a similar theme to form a Liberation Museum. This museum will consist of entities such as Freedom Park, War Museum of the Boer Republics, uMsunduzi Museum, Nelson Mandela Museum and Luthuli Museum. The outcome of this process will be communicated once completed.

(1). SASCOC in their response indicated that they held the following meetings in 2022:

• 22 January 2022 – an online meeting held with all National Federations
• 03 February 2022 – The Working Group held its first meeting and part of this meeting was developing the 2022 plans.

SASCOC further indicated that meetings are held on a quarterly basis and the dates have not yet been finalised for the other quarters.

SASCOC has also advised that in 2022, the focus will be the final review of the Safeguarding Policy, which will strengthen the processes and procedures in dealing with cases lodged.

2). SASCOC has provided minutes for the meetings held on:

a) 03 August 2021 (attached)

b) 09 December 2021 (attached)

In terms of the meetings held on the following dates, SASCOC has indicated that they are not in the position to share the minutes:

• c) 31 March 2021: Inaugural meeting – minutes available but not attached.( see narrative below)
• d) 27 July 2021: meeting did not quorate, no resolutions were taken
• e) 27 October 2021: The meeting was to discuss the behaviour of group members and the implications thereof. The meeting was in committee and therefore, the minutes are not attached. The SASCOC Board is dealing with this matter.

SASCOC further indicated that safeguarding matters have become a key priority for the Confederation. As the organisation has a duty to care for all participants, within the sport movement. Equally so, they have a responsibility to protect all individuals involved in lodged cases as guided by the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) that regulates how they handle personal information as they address safeguarding cases.

Some cases discussed during these meetings are still being investigated and sharing this information might jeopardize the process and it is in their interest that the justice process be allowed to take its cause.

In conclusion, SASCOC indicated that they could categorically confirm that four meetings were held in 2021 and these minutes are well recorded, and several other safeguarding engagements were held as dates above.

I have also written to SASCOC leadership urging them to finalise the process because if the matter is not finalised it will impact on funding from the government.

Significant progress has been made in addressing transformation within cricket South Africa particularly in terms governance related matters. The efforts commenced when the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture received complaints from members of the public on the state of governance including progress in terms of transformation in the sport of Cricket. As a direct intervention the Minister appointed an Interim Board to replace the previous Board who had resigned. The objective was to help Cricket SA to comprehensively assist with both governance and transformation. By the time the Interim Board finished their task, they left the new board with an extensive report on both governance and transformation that the current board has adopted.

Furthermore, by the time the previous board left, they had devised a transformation initiative whereby a platform was created to allow all transformation-related issues to be publicly ventilated. These hearings known as the Social Justice and Nation-building hearings were chaired by an Ombudsman, Adv. Dumisa Ntsebeza. He has since concluded and delivered the report to Cricket South Africa. Cricket has reported that they are implementing the recommendations of the Ombudsman.

Cricket South Africa has already instituted disciplinary process against the officials fingered in the report. We have also noted the progress made in the transformation effort.

It is now an established norm that the department and its partners, that is the South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee, and the National Lotteries Board provide incentives for the athletes who bring back medals from major international multi-coded events such as the Olympics and Paralympics where resources allow. Working with SASCOC the department will ensure that there is a clear policy or guidelines on the incentives programme. This will have to be announced in advance in order to ensure that the athletes are truly incentivized. In addition to incentives SASCOC will revive and expand the OPEX programme in order to ensure that potential medallists are provided with holistic support, e.g. scientific, nutritional, etc.

((a). The establishment of Club and Rural Sport Development within communities and traditional councils was to ensure that access is created within communities in remote areas. The clubs and traditional council’s teams play in a league system whose main aim is to-

• • Revive the interest of sport within communities, increased participation and identify talented athletes.
  • Enhance the level of performance of talented athletes and coaches and increase the rate of sports development.
  • National federations enhance the education of individuals and groups by means of training opportunities to coaches, administrators, and technical officials.

(b) Government established a Build for Sport and Recreation Programme (BSRP) as a funding model for delivery of sport facilities through the former Department of Sport and Recreation. In 2004/5 BSRP was integrated in the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG), which by design municipalities are Implementing Agents (IA). This decision was informed by the need to integrate certain infrastructure investments targeting Municipalities to ensure coherent and coordinated infrastructure development in Municipalities.

In 2016/17, the Department managed to convince both Parliament, National Treasury (NT) and Cooperative Government and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) to ring-fence portion of 5% of sport infrastructure in the Municipal Infrastructure Grant. The MIG focuses on basic needs and prioritizes the previously disadvantaged areas.

(a). The implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between my Department (DSAC) and the Department of Basic Education (DBE), remains the joint responsibility of both departments. Within the framework, roles and responsibilities for both departments have been clearly defined. DSAC responsibilities within this framework, starts at District, goes to Province and National. These tasks have been fully implemented and we will continue to play our role in executing our part in the MoU.

(b). As per the MoU delineation of responsibilities, the first three levels of the MoU, which are School, Cluster and Area level, remains the responsibility of DBE. We have worked together to ensure that we set-up the structures that will manage and coordinate sport at that level, there is still a lot of work to be done. Using School Sport as a transformation tool, we have also strengthened the role of Sport Federations, with regard to taking ownership of grassroots development, which includes school sport. We are currently introducing the former athletes, as the Sport Ambassadors, who will help us manage the after school programme within the school sport.

1. The Department has consistently applied itself to such measures to enable the opening up of sporting venues. With the COVID-19 vaccines being accessible to all South Africans, the Department embarked on a partnership type of approach with sport and creative personalities / organisations.

The Minister established a committee of experts called the Return to Play Adjudication Committee to support organisations, clubs and individuals to ensure compliance. The Department formulated operational guidelines, Sports organisations have submitted their operational plans, which were analysed, adjudicated and approved, and events were monitored.

A proposal to reopen the events sector through a controlled set of Government (DSAC) approved events for vaccinated persons has been processed through relevant structures.

2(a). While the Department may not have provided direct support to maximise revenue without relying on gate-takings while the situation persists, other efforts have been in place to support Sports Federations during this time of COVID-19. The provision of financial and non-financial support to recognised National Federations is to promote and foster development of sport and recreation in South Africa. Support is provided to sport and recreation bodies in line with the provisions of Section 10 of the Sport and Recreation Act.

The support is towards both the administration of the sport and recreation bodies although this is minimal. The significant portion of the support is towards programmes and projects. Self-sustainable sport and recreation bodies represent ideal scenario, which may contribute to job creation and economic development. However, with the prevailing financial situation within the federations, consideration was made to provide for more allocation towards operational and administrative costs to keep the sport and recreation bodies afloat. The Department offered relief funding to athletes, coaches and technical officials who lost income due to cancellation of their events during COVID-19. Further, through the Presidential Economic Stimulus Package, sports federations managed to retain 4, 566 and 921 new jobs were created with the Sports associations.

The Department provided an enabling environment for the return of spectators as per the Directions gazetted by the Minister in October 2021 and requested Federations to submit operational plans. This is part of the plan towards economic recovery of the Sports associations.

The amalgamation of the two Departments will not have an impact on the restructuring of public entities. The former Department of Sports and Recreation had two public entities with separate mandates. Therefore, these entities will not be subjected to the amalgamation process like the ones which reported to the former Department of Arts and Culture.

The cultural and creative economy makes a significant contribution to the economy and employment in South Africa. The South African Cultural Observatory (SACO) research funded by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture through Mzansi Golden Economy (MGE) reports that Cultural and Creative Industry (CCI) contributed R74.4bn to the country's GDP between 2016 and 2018. In the report titled Economic Mapping of the Cultural and Creative Industries in South Africa 2020 (SACO 2020) it was found that the core creative industries contributed 3.05% to the South African GDP in 2017, that is R155 billion, and the supporting industries had a share of 2.24% of the GDP at R115 billion, which is a total share of 5.29% of the GDP. In 2018 the direct impact (also called “Value Added”) of the CCIs was R74.39 billion which accounts for 1.7% of South Africa’s GDP. Furthermore, in same period of 2018, the CCIs contributed R271.9 billion to the capital stock of South Africa.

It is revealed in the preliminary SACO 2022 CCI Mapping Study that in 2015 the cultural and creative economy made up 5.6% of jobs in 2017 it increased to 5.9% and in 2019 to 6% of all employment in the country.

Further the Department has several interventions that it has and continues to implement; ranging from the Presidential Employment Stimulus Program; Creation of spaces; the Community Arts Development Program; the Visual Arts and Design Program; the Public Art Program; the National and Provincial Flagship Projects (including Festivals; Exhibitions and Cultural Events); amongst others. For an example; the Presidential Employment Stimulus Program has translated into a creation more than 36 000 jobs; as a result contributing to employment; reconstruction and recovery of the sector. The Department has also implemented an intervention that is part of ensuring that there an enabling environment through creation of spaces where the cultural and creative industries can thrive. Already great progress has been made in venturing into Limpopo; Mpumalanga and North West which are the only provinces that did not have Performing Arts Institutions at the calibre of those in Western Cape; Gauteng; Free State and KwaZulu Natal. The Flagship projects focus on preservation and promotion of culture in the country; through partnership with key stakeholders and alignment to the Social Cohesion and Nation building agenda

These and other programs mentioned above are key in bringing in a sense of identity; reflecting and encouraging local content; and promotion of the national identity.

My Department, through the community library grant, is employing a total number of 2489 contract staff to manage and provide access to library and information services to the citizens. In 2020/21, as part of the Presidential Employment Stimulus package, the National Library of South Africa (NLSA) was allocated an amount of R60 million in response to the job losses that came as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Half of the amount, R30 million was allocated to the National Archives and Records Service of South Africa (NARSSA) for the digitisation of archival records and the remaining R30 million to NLSA for the digitization of newspapers and periodicals. The allocation was mainly to be used towards the appointment of 326 unemployed youth and the procurement of digitisation equipment. As a result thereof, 453 youth benefited from the project which commenced in November 2020 to December 2021. In addition to this, 12 unemployed youth were also appointed at NARSSA to assist with cleaning services. They were appointed in September 2020 and are still in the employ of the Department. Investigations are underway to see the possibility of extending their contracts for additional 12 months.

Significant strides and efforts continue to be made in educating particularly learners on water safety. Some of leading initiatives being, Swimming South Africa’s Water Safety Education, popular Learn to Swim, Ocean Splash Water Safety, Lifesaving Water Safety Awareness.

One of the major barriers to ensuring that the current programmes reach all the corners of the country remains access to facilities such as swimming pools. Inadequate provision of swimming pools and poor maintenance thereof by the Municipalities has a direct impact on rate at which water safety programmes are rolled out.

1. SASCOC’s Constitution / Policy and position is very clear in relation to provision of equal incentives for any athlete who medals at multi-coded events. Discrimination of any form is not tolerated within the Organisation.

2. I as the Minister, I serve all South Africans from all walks of life, race, class or gender is not an issue to me and the political party I belong too.

SASCOC does not tolerate or practice a system of discrimination based on one or more grounds. This includes but not limited to race, gender, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language, or HIV and AIDS status. We also subscribe to the IOC Charter, the Constitution of SA and the SASCOC Constitution in this regard.

School Sport remains an extra-curricular activity within the Department of Basic Education. This implies that, it remains an option to accommodate within the school’s programme, when all other core-curricular activities have been addressed. To this end, only Physical Education, through the Life Orientation Subject, remains a compulsory subject within the school’s curriculum. The implementation and the enforcement of the curriculum remain the function of the Department of Basic Education and as the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, we co-operate in the implementation of School Sport through the Memorundam of Agreement. The Minister therefore, cannot make, anything compulsory to the Department of Basic Education.

1. The Ministerial media engagement to promote the relationship that the Department has with the Hip-Hop Museum was held on 3 February 2022. The event was not held to open the Hip-Hop Museum. The Department also did not build the Hip-Hop Museum.

The event was held to profile the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture engineering and contribution to the Cultural and Creative Industry (CCI) Recovery and Reconstruction Plan. The event was also aimed to promote the projects and programmes, which are beneficiaries of the CCI Recovery and Reconstruction Plan Interventions and the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme. The project is aimed at profiling all institutions that have benefitted through the CCI Recovery and Reconstruction Plan Interventions and the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme.

2. The Department is open to consider collaborating and supporting any project that seeks to promote the development of our heritage and cultures as it provide economic opportunities to our people including the promotion of the Maskandi music.

My department has over years consciously promoted and continue to promote Maskandi. We held national conference in 2018 specifically for Maskandi on strategies of assisting the Maskandi genre.

We support annual South African Traditional Music Awards through our entity National Heritage Council. In our cultural diplomacy program we include Maskandi as we criss cross the world. The last of such was the visit to Angola where a Maskandi group was part of the program led by Dr Buselaphi Gxowa. Our support of Maskandi to fill up Moses Mabhida stadium led by Khuzani Mpungose to mention but a few

1. The Department allocated a grant of R2 500 000.00 (TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND RAND ONLY) to the Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA) for the implementation of the 2019 South African Music Awards (SAMAs). Since 1995, the SAMAs have grown to be part of the South African entertainment calendar attracting many participants, fans and media followers. Given their popularity to the public, the SAMAs are also a good platform for marketing local content and one of the drivers of cultural tourism. An estimated 5070 guests attended the awards in 2019 and about 4.5 million viewers tune in to SABC 1 to watch the event live broadcast.

Apart from the awards, RISA also conducted education and awareness campaigns to educate emerging and aspiring artists about music business and Copyrights.

2. The Constitution of the Republic sets out the powers of Parliament and this include the powers to oversee the work of various Departments and public institutions. Within the prescripts of the Constitution and other related legislation and all protocol observed, the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture would be obliged to provide Mrs V van Dyk in her capacity as the member of the legislature with access to and/or furnish her with the copy of the 2019 agreement between the Department and RISA.

3. Abiding by the parameters laid down in the Constitution as well as the Promotion of Access to Information Act, the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and other relevant legislation/s and all protocol observed, the Department would be in a position to furnish or provide access to honourable Mrs Van Dyk with the SAMA 2019 report.

(1). The revised World Anti-Doping Code came into effect in January 2021. The revised Code includes mandatory compliance to the following International anti-doping standards:

• International Standard for Education
• International Standard for Testing and Investigations
• International Standard for the Protection of Personal Information.

(2). In 2020 SAIDS sent a draft of the 2021 South African Anti-Doping Rules to all national sports federation and stakeholders in sport. These sports entities were granted a three-month period to provide comment and feedback on the National Anti-doping Rules.

No significant comments were received that necessitated amending the initial draft. Subsequently, the SA Anti-Doping Rules were adopted by the Board of SAIDS and came into force in January 2021. These rules were amended to include the additional rules and obligations of the 2021 World Anti-Doping Code and the UNESCO Convention Against Doping in Sport.

Reply:

(1) The overwhelming majority of national sports federations cooperate actively with SAIDS and pro-actively engage on matters pertaining to drugs that affect their athletes. In 2018 SAIDS fined the national federation, Body-Building SA for the high number of doping positives and repeated doping offenses at their national championships over a four year period. A fine of R300 000 (three hundred thousand rand) was levied. The transgressions continued in 2019 and 2021. The fine was in line with the articles in the SA Anti-Doping Rules and the World Anti-Doping Code. The matter was escalated to SASCOC in 2019. The then acting CEO refused to act against the federation. The matter has been resent to the new president of SASCOC and the DDG of DSAC. SAIDS identified the amount owing to it by Body-Building SA in our presentation to the Portfolio Committee in 2020.

Towards the end of 2021, the SA Wrestling Federation President threatened to sue SAIDS after one of the national wrestlers was charged with an anti-doping rule violation. SA Wrestling did not follow through with their threats and the wrestler was sanctioned by SAIDS.

(2) The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown had an effect across the board on all our operations. National sports federations were very pro-active in utilising technologies such as Zoom and webinars to collaborate on learning opportunities for their athletes and coaches. All education unit exceeded their performance targets of delivering anti-doping education sessions through virtual channels to different sport audiences.

All athletes who represented South Africa at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo went through an education webinar with our anti-doping education team, prior to leave SA.

The Department is in the process of implementation of the Revised White Paper which requires that the relevant Line function in the Department, Entities Management Unit, the Legal Services Unit and the Institution itself (Executive & Board or Council of State Owned Entities) should meet and identify issues of substance that need to be addressed if legislation needs to be amended. Consultations with other stakeholders will follow afterwards including the ones scheduled by Parliament.

The Department’s responsibility to create and/or provide an enabling environment for cultural expression and the arts with regard to independent institutions and any other institution within the cultural and creative space is being attended to through the process of development of the Cultural and Creative Industries Master Plan which is in the process being finalised and has started going through the structure of Cabinet for final endorsement. This is a blueprint strategic document aimed at creation of a conducive environment for the industry to grow and be self-sustainable.

Over and above this; the Department is in the process of development of the theatre and dance policy; in consultation with representatives from the sector; who are part of the policy development. All of these interventions; amongst others are geared towards the same objective”.

I have and continue to engage and interact with the cricket fraternity, other sporting codes and SASCOC on issues of transformation as well as management and administration.

I met with sports persons and some sport media personalities across different sports codes (mainly cricket, also rugby and netball) and association of player representatives who indicated their own experiences dealing with racism. Cricket South Africa adopted a strategy of culture camps for their national teams and other contracted players to address the issues transformation, racism and value systems of loyalty, respect and belonging.

Upon receiving complaints from members of the public on the state of governance including progress in transformation in the sport of cricket, I appointed an interim board to replace the previous board who had resigned. The objective was to help Cricket SA to comprehensively assist with both governance and transformation.

We have since taken a strategic posture on Community Arts Centres and developed a programme that supports the vision cited above called Provincial Community Arts Development Programmes

1. (a) There is no construction of a Resistance and Liberation Museum in the Eastern Cape.

b) When Cabinet approved the implementation of the recommendations of the feasibility study to establish a Resistance and Liberation Movement Museum called for by the Inter-Ministerial Committee, the purpose and rationale was that there is no museum expressing the horror of colonialism and apartheid without sanitization. The feasibility study acknowledged the existence of museums on the liberation struggle but these museums deal with specific aspects of the liberation struggle and do not depict the liberation struggle in an unsanitised manner so that current and future generations have a full understanding of the price paid for a democratic dispensation. Cabinet approved that this museum be developed in Tshwane.

2. The feasibility study to establish a Resistance and Liberation Movement Museum called for by the Inter-Ministerial Committee and approved by Cabinet, found that the establishment of such a museum was viable and feasible.

Government, in terms of the National Sport and Recreation Act intervenes in the governance matters of sport when sports organisations themselves have had an opportunity to deal with whatever governance problems they encounter.

(a). With regard to SASCOC itself, the Department appointed a Task Team to help ensure that the recommendations of the Zulman Committee of Enquiry on governance are being implemented. Indeed, a final meeting is being planned on the matter between SASCOC and the Department.

Our agreement with SASCOC is that they first deal with challenges within National Federations on their own, before escalating them to the Department should they fail to resolves the issues. The Department is limited in its capacity and authority to deal with the matter directly.

(b). Several incidents relating to governance like in Basketball South Africa, have indeed brought to the attention of the Minister. The Minister has advised SASCOC to deal with the issues. A steering committee between SASCOC, DSAC and Basketball South Africa was set up that finalised a roadmap towards the successful Annual General meeting that ushered in new Provincial Affiliates and a new National Executive Committee.

In some cases, like in Cricket SA Minister has had to deal with them from his office and to that end, a new Board is in place based on the Nicholson Committee of Enquiry recommendations, and the organisation is now on an upward trajectory.

With regard to Transformation, a Transformation Commission, known as the Eminent Persons Group (EPG), is already in place, which developed the requisite templates to track progress in transformation and ensures that these are completed annually with recommendations being sent to the Minister for possible action.

National Federations that do not meet their own self-set transformation targets are liable to a range of penalties that are applied at the discretion of the Minister.

In terms of MOAs between DSAC (former SRSA), SASCOC and the 19 audited national federations in relation to the transformation of their respective sport, SASCOC has to assist DSAC in the proper implementation and execution of the project by the national federation. They have to further assist DSAC to coordinate and give effect to the satisfactory and proper implementation and execution of the EPG Audit Report and the undertakings by the national federation as and when required by DSAC in writing.

(a). My Department is not aware of the role played by the former Speaker of Parliament, Mrs. Baleka Mbete towards securing the funding for the, Actress Natasha Thahane. What we know is that Ms. Thahane made a request for financial support towards her studies at the New York Film Academy directly to me as the Minister.

This request is similar to many others that my office and the Department constantly receives from members of the public. The public does this possibly because I am the political head of the Department.

(b). The funds were for Ms. Thahane’s tuition fees at the New York Film Academy in New York (USA) and the terms for her contract with the department was for her film studies and the condition was that she should complete her studies in film.

(c). The funding was approved by Deputy Director-General (DDG/IG) for Institutional Governance branch, (as DDG for the branch in 2017).

a) My Department promote and support the creative sector by providing funding to Entities reporting to me, these Entities then engage the creative sector to forge social cohesion and advocate against social ills. Examples on how the Department’s entities directly and indirectly support the sectror are as follows;

• The Market Theatre Foundation, is currently creating a play about gender-based violence for teenagers, to be disseminated digitally to high schools nationwide. The play is designed to help high school learners identify gender-based violence and the way it affects their lives, as well as equip them with knowledge, skills, and resources to support them in situations in which they survivors of gender-based violence. In addition, the Market Theatre Laboratory works extensively with its own students on building awareness around gender-based violence through a series of workshops. The students create plays throughout the year exploring this and other socially relevant themes. In 2021, the Market Theatre Laboratory partnered with an independent theatre company to host performances of the play “Text Me When You Arrive: a guide on how not to get raped and killed in South Africa”, a play also grappling with this theme.

The National Film and Video Foundation’s stance has been reflected through the following projects:

• Research conducted in partnership with Sisters Working in Film & TV (SWIFT) entitled “Gender Matters in the South African Film Industry” (2018) which aimed at providing information and statistics on women participation, challenges and roles in the local film industry,
• An MOU signed with SWIFT which covered amongst other things, the implementation of a Code of Good Practice: Handling Sexual Harassment in the Film and Television Industry (“The Code”) which promotes workplaces that are free of sexual harassment, where employers and employees respect one another’s integrity and dignity, their privacy, and their right to equality.
• In partnership with GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH), the NFVF institutionalised gender sensitivity training and GBV training with industry proessionals and AFDA students respectively

The Robben Island Museum hosted a social cohesion programme in the form of an Annual Spring School programme held on the island aimed at capacitating the youth and recently held one on 04 - 09 October 2021. The main objective of all the Nation Building Youth Camps facilitated by Robben Island Museum is to create an opportunity and space to debate on social ills, pertinent issues affecting communities, inclusivity and leadership skills. The theme of the 2021 Spring School was Young people acknowledging that the epidemic of gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa is a national crisis. The 2021 Spring School Programme was made possible with the support from the DSAC’s Sub-Directorate on Social Cohesion and Nation Building.

In addition to the above, other specific programmes implemented include the following:

Social Cohesion Advocates Programme

Through the Social Cohesion Advocates Programme, the Department has been able to implement GBV Dialogues and Seminars in churches, institutions of higher learning such as at then Vaal University of Technology (VUT). As part of creating platforms for promoting Social Cohesion and Nation Building Social Cohesion Advocates have engaged in After School care programmes to empower girls and young women.

During the July 2021 Unrest, Social Cohesion Advocates have been able to participate in fact finding missions. They have engaged communities in dialogues including trainings on Mediation, Conflict Resolution and Peace Building. There have also been initiatives on Healing of Memories and Trauma and Trauma Counselling session.

Preventing Gender Based Violence

Where Gender Based Violence (GBV) is concerned, the idea is to prevent it from happening as opposed to providing interventions when it has happened as that tends to be costlier and unsustainable. As the adage goes Prevention is better than cue. Communities need to understand the Concept of Gender so that they can understand why the scourge is called GBV. Capacity Building in the form of Training has therefore been engaged into including two (2) Gender Sensitisation and GGBV Workshops have been held. A Gender Sensitisation and GBV Workshop was conducted for Albinism Advocacy Access (AAA) on 20 – 22 October 2021 Another one was conducted at Inanda which is one of 30 hotspot areas in KwaZulu Natal (KZN) as communicated by the Minister of Police, Mr Bheki Cele. The Department intends massifying these awareness creation workshops including in areas such as Delft and Lusikisiki.

Funding to Non Profit Organisations

Over and above these, the Departments funds several Non Profit organisations that encourage Prevention of GBV. In this financial year, three (3) such organizations. These organisations have programmes such as After school Programmes that reduce the exposure of children to GBV plus unwanted and or unplanned pregnancies.

Campaigns led by the Department

The Department has also engaged in active campaigns such as The Orange Day Campaign which marks the 25th as a day to wear orange and unite to end violence Against women and Girls (VAWG). This way, on a monthly basis, 365/24/7. we are able to promote the message of GBV prevention as opposed to focusing exclusively on 16 Days of Activism on No Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC). This also ensures that there is monitoring of progress especially as DSAC reports on a monthly basis to the Department of Women Youth and People with Disabilities, under Pillar 2 of the Gender Based Violence National Strategic Plan 2030.

Further, Department has launched two programmes in an aid to raise awareness against GBVF. The programmes are Golekane and Baqhawafazi. Golekane is a campaign which endorses a call to action for men by men to end GBVF through behavioural dialogs, panel discussions, grassroots anti GBVF activations and father and son camps.

Baqhawafazi is a movement that seeks to raise awareness against gender based violence, intimate partner violence and femicide in South Africa. It is comprised of testimonials telling the untold stories of GBVF through raw footage from survivors of GBVF. Some of the activities implemented include The Survivors Guild- August 2021, A walk fit for purpose- August 2021, Digital Content on Social Media pages – September 2021, Filming and production of interviews – September 2021, Media Placement- Erection of billboards and Street pole ads- September 2021.

(a)(i). My Department has not received a request from the Liliesleaf management and Board of Trustees for assistance to prevent closure of the museum. The department will consider such a request when it is received.

(ii) (aa) The Department has not received notification of heritage sites closing down. It should be noted that Heritage sites in the country are managed at different spheres of Government while other heritage sites are managed as private heritage sites either through Trusts or foundations.

(bb). The Department is therefore not in a position to know the number of heritage sites that are closing down.

(cc) The Department is therefore not in a position to know the names of heritage sites that are closing down.

(dd) The Department is therefore not in a position to know the locations of heritage sites that are closing down.

b). The request for operational funding for the next three years by the Steve Biko Museum is being considered by the Department. The three requests received for operational funding through the Presidential Employment Stimulus Package has been funded.

c) The Department has been affected by budget cuts due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Some of the funds had to be redirected towards the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP), which is designed to support a spectrum of opportunities, focusing on job creation through public employment; on job retention in vulnerable sectors; on direct support to livelihood strategies; as well as on fast-tracking high-impact employment enablers. The PESP programme has already been implemented but the department will consider how best to assist heritage sites facing closure when such a request is received.

1. Not all of the sport and recreation bodies have received the grants for 2021/2022 financial year.

(a). Before the 2020/2021 financial, this prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic the Department allocated funds to the sport and recreation bodies utilizing the historical data. This enabled the Department to manage the process of allocating and transferring funds with relative ease.

However, after considering the representations made by Federations through SASCOC on the devastating effects of COVID-19 the Department had to review the approach in order to respond to the immediate needs of the Federations.

Whilst in the pre COVID-19, a small portion of the grant was set aside for Administration, with the larger portion being for programmes and projects. This had to be reviewed. The priority has now been given to

(i). job retention, (ii). organizational sustainability, and (iii) programmes and projects and identified priorities.

In terms of the revised approach, the sport and recreation bodies have to submit the compliance documents as well as business plans prior to allocations being made after assessment of each application.

The Department made a call to sport and recreation bodies to submit the documents on 11 June 2021. The key documents are primarily for compliance requirements in line with particularly section 38 (1) (j) of the PFMA which requires transferring departments to ensure that funds are transferred to entities that administer sound financial management systems and controls.

It should be noted that by the 12 of October 2021 only 24 out of 68 sport and recreation bodies has submitted the documents. This made it difficult for the Department to make the allocation because ideally the total budget for sport and recreation bodies, which is R114, 142,000, should be allocated across the 68 sport and recreation bodies at the same time. This to avoid overcommitting to a selected few (24) that have complied.

In order to avoid further delays, the Department proceeded to assess the submitted applications assisted by a representative from SASCOC. This with some checks and balances to avoid the risk of over committing to the 24 bodies. We also noted that some sport and recreation bodies could not spend their entire allocated budget from the 2020 / 2021 financial year.

In this regard, these sport and recreation bodies were granted permission to roll-over the funds to the current financial year perhaps resulting in the slow process of submitting for 2021 / 2022 financial year.

(b). The dates for transfers depends on when the sport and recreation body signs and returns the Allocation Agreement which is prepared after the assessment of fully compliant documents. The Department however requires a week to process a transfer provided all compliance requirements have been fulfilled.

a) My Department promote and support the creative sector by providing funding to Entities reporting to me, these Entities then engage the creative sector to forge social cohesion and advocate against social ills. Examples on how the Department’s entities directly and indirectly support the sectror are as follows;

• The Market Theatre Foundation, is currently creating a play about gender-based violence for teenagers, to be disseminated digitally to high schools nationwide. The play is designed to help high school learners identify gender-based violence and the way it affects their lives, as well as equip them with knowledge, skills, and resources to support them in situations in which they survivors of gender-based violence. In addition, the Market Theatre Laboratory works extensively with its own students on building awareness around gender-based violence through a series of workshops. The students create plays throughout the year exploring this and other socially relevant themes. In 2021, the Market Theatre Laboratory partnered with an independent theatre company to host performances of the play “Text Me When You Arrive: a guide on how not to get raped and killed in South Africa”, a play also grappling with this theme.

The National Film and Video Foundation’s stance has been reflected through the following projects:

• Research conducted in partnership with Sisters Working in Film & TV (SWIFT) entitled “Gender Matters in the South African Film Industry” (2018) which aimed at providing information and statistics on women participation, challenges and roles in the local film industry,
• An MOU signed with SWIFT which covered amongst other things, the implementation of a Code of Good Practice: Handling Sexual Harassment in the Film and Television Industry (“The Code”) which promotes workplaces that are free of sexual harassment, where employers and employees respect one another’s integrity and dignity, their privacy, and their right to equality.
• In partnership with GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH), the NFVF institutionalised gender sensitivity training and GBV training with industry proessionals and AFDA students respectively

The Robben Island Museum hosted a social cohesion programme in the form of an Annual Spring School programme held on the island aimed at capacitating the youth and recently held one on 04 - 09 October 2021. The main objective of all the Nation Building Youth Camps facilitated by Robben Island Museum is to create an opportunity and space to debate on social ills, pertinent issues affecting communities, inclusivity and leadership skills. The theme of the 2021 Spring School was Young people acknowledging that the epidemic of gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa is a national crisis. The 2021 Spring School Programme was made possible with the support from the DSAC’s Sub-Directorate on Social Cohesion and Nation Building.

In addition to the above, other specific programmes implemented include the following:

Social Cohesion Advocates Programme

Through the Social Cohesion Advocates Programme, the Department has been able to implement GBV Dialogues and Seminars in churches, institutions of higher learning such as at then Vaal University of Technology (VUT). As part of creating platforms for promoting Social Cohesion and Nation Building Social Cohesion Advocates have engaged in After School care programmes to empower girls and young women.

During the July 2021 Unrest, Social Cohesion Advocates have been able to participate in fact finding missions. They have engaged communities in dialogues including trainings on Mediation, Conflict Resolution and Peace Building. There have also been initiatives on Healing of Memories and Trauma and Trauma Counselling session.

Preventing Gender Based Violence

Where Gender Based Violence (GBV) is concerned, the idea is to prevent it from happening as opposed to providing interventions when it has happened as that tends to be costlier and unsustainable. As the adage goes Prevention is better than cue. Communities need to understand the Concept of Gender so that they can understand why the scourge is called GBV. Capacity Building in the form of Training has therefore been engaged into including two (2) Gender Sensitisation and GGBV Workshops have been held. A Gender Sensitisation and GBV Workshop was conducted for Albinism Advocacy Access (AAA) on 20 – 22 October 2021 Another one was conducted at Inanda which is one of 30 hotspot areas in KwaZulu Natal (KZN) as communicated by the Minister of Police, Mr Bheki Cele. The Department intends massifying these awareness creation workshops including in areas such as Delft and Lusikisiki.

Funding to Non Profit Organisations

Over and above these, the Departments funds several Non Profit organisations that encourage Prevention of GBV. In this financial year, three (3) such organizations. These organisations have programmes such as After school Programmes that reduce the exposure of children to GBV plus unwanted and or unplanned pregnancies.

Campaigns led by the Department

The Department has also engaged in active campaigns such as The Orange Day Campaign which marks the 25th as a day to wear orange and unite to end violence Against women and Girls (VAWG). This way, on a monthly basis, 365/24/7. we are able to promote the message of GBV prevention as opposed to focusing exclusively on 16 Days of Activism on No Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC). This also ensures that there is monitoring of progress especially as DSAC reports on a monthly basis to the Department of Women Youth and People with Disabilities, under Pillar 2 of the Gender Based Violence National Strategic Plan 2030.

Further, Department has launched two programmes in an aid to raise awareness against GBVF. The programmes are Golekane and Baqhawafazi. Golekane is a campaign which endorses a call to action for men by men to end GBVF through behavioural dialogs, panel discussions, grassroots anti GBVF activations and father and son camps.

Baqhawafazi is a movement that seeks to raise awareness against gender based violence, intimate partner violence and femicide in South Africa. It is comprised of testimonials telling the untold stories of GBVF through raw footage from survivors of GBVF. Some of the activities implemented include The Survivors Guild- August 2021, A walk fit for purpose- August 2021, Digital Content on Social Media pages – September 2021, Filming and production of interviews – September 2021, Media Placement- Erection of billboards and Street pole ads- September 2021.

a) The National Treasury covered cost of the investigation.

b) (i) Price Waterhouse Coopers conducted the investigation;

(ii) The National Treasury appointed the investigators.

c) The National Treasury did the procurement process.

d) The recommendations of the forensic investigation were as follows:

• Disciplinary action should be taken against Ms Baduza for contravening the legislative prescripts and practice notes of SAHRA’s Supply Chain Management Policy.
• SAHRA should assess the extent to which Ms Motsisi, Ms Baduza and Anix Consulting can be held liable for the losses incurred on the project.
• SAHRA should recover the VAT overcharged by Anix Consulting and determine whether disciplinary action should be taken against the officials involved in the payment process.
• Engage with the Law enforcement agencies for them to determine whether any SAHRA official illegally benefited from the irregular appointment of Anix Consulting and extension of scope.
• Institute a further investigation into payments made to service providers (Trans Pacific, Creative Axis, and Anix Consulting) through the law enforcement agency to quantify the loss suffered by SAHRA and initiate a recovery process.
• Consult with legal advisors to determine what amounts can be claimed from Anix Consulting and to commence with this process.

.e) The Department played its oversight role to ensure that Council of SAHRA implements the recommendations of the forensic report. This has led to the dismissal of the former CEO, after undergoing a disciplinary process. In addition, the matter is currently being investigated by the Law enforcement agencies as per the recommendations of the report. The Special Investigation Unit is currently conducting further investigation on the matter under Proclamation 38 of 2019 issued on 12 July 2019.

The Department does not have a dedicated allocation within its own budget for the provision of Sports Facilities. This responsibility lies with the Local Government Sphere in terms of the Constitution. The Department however made vigorous representation to COGTA to ensure that the allocation for Sport and Recreation Infrastructure in MIG should be located within the budget in the Department responsible for Sport. COGTA however ring-fenced funding that the Department could allocate towards the construction of Sports Facilities.

1. Since the inception of the ring-fenced Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) in 2016/17, the Department used as a funding mechanism for development of sport facilities in municipalities. Fifteen (15) municipalities have been allocated in the Northern Cape Province, and their list with corresponding budgets is as follows:

No	LOCAL MUNICIPALITY	DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY	PROJECT NAME	YEAR OF PROJECT	BUDGET ALLOCATED
1	Khai Ma	Namakwa	Construction of a multi-purpose sport field in Poffader	2016/17	R8,000,000.00
2	Umsobomvu	Pixley ka Seme	construction of Noupoort Community Indoor Gym	2016/17	R6,500,000.00
3	Gamagara	Johnn Taolo Gatsewe	Contruction of Kathu multi-purpose sport facility	2016/17 2018/19	R10,000,000.00 R2,009,250.00
4	Hantam	Namakwa	Construction of Calvinia Sports field	2017/18	R6,866,588.00
5	Sol Plaaitjie	Francis Baard	Refurbishment of Galeshewe stadium Construction of Florenville Swimming pool Refurbishment of De Beers Stadium	2017/18	R6,866,588.00 (Co-funding)
6	Kamiesberg	Namakwa	Upgrading of Kharkama Sport Facility	2018/19	R4,370,000.00
7	Phokwane	Francis Baard	Construction of Ganspan Sports Complex	2018/19	R11,290,750.00
8	Gasegonyane	John Taole-Gaetsewe	Upgrading and Refurbishment of Mothibastad Sports Complex	2018/19	R10,545,000.00
9	Emthanjeni	Pixley Ka Seme	Upgrading of Khwezi Sport Grounds	2019/20	R11,941,000.00
10	Dawid Kruiper	ZF Mgcawu	The development of sports ground in Rosedale	2019/20	R9,000,000.00
11	Magareng	Francis Baard	Upgrading of Ikhutseng stadium	2019/20	R8,000,000.00
12	Renosterberg	Pixley Ka Seme	Upgrading of Vanderkloof Sport Facility.	2020/21	R 11,500,000.00
13	Thembelihle	Pixley Ka Seme	Development of Steynville Sport Facility	2020/21	R 11,500,000.00
14	Khei	ZF Mgcawu	Development of Grootdrink Sport Facility.	2020/21	R 9,330,000.00
15	Nama Khoi	Namakwa	Buffelrivier Sport Facility	2020/21	R 7,500,000.00

Noteworthy to also indicate that municipalities like Siyancuma and Kamiesberg in Pixley Ka Seme District and Namakwa District respectively were also allocated during initial years of the programme, but their projects were not registered due to certain MIG requirements and their allocation went back to Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, and those allocations are not included in this count.

However, Kamiesberg was re-allocated in 2018/19 for Upgrading of Kharkama Sport Facility.

1. So far the Department has allocated projects in three Municipalities in Namakwa District; which are:

i) Kamiesberg – the facility built is Kharkama

ii) Khaima - allocation made for Pofadder but the Council decided to thinly spread the R 8 000 000 allocated among its three towns without consent from the Department, and this impacted negatively on deliverables.

iii) Hantam – allocation made for Calvinia sport facility but part of it was used for upgrades in Niewoudtville.

iv) Nama Khoi – the facility is built in Buffelrivier.

The Minister has not opposed the Culture Promotion Act 35 of 1983. The Department applies itself according to the Cultural Institutions Act 119 of 1998, which specify that Declared Cultural Institutions are the responsibility of the Department regarding funding support for operational and specific artistic activities.

For an example; several Independent entities received support in the past few months from the Presidential Employment Stimulus Program; and evidence of this is available. Further, the department opens opportunities through the different work-streams within the Mzansi Golden Economy, which are not excluding anyone in the industry; as long as they meet the set requirements. The department has multiple demands on its very limited financial resources and is not capable to cater for all. In order to afford equal opportunities for all in the entire creative and cultural landscape, including independent entities, funding entities such as NAC, NFVF, NHC etc. have been established to administer the disbursement of funding to all who meets the set out criteria. Funding efforts have been especially heightened during covid-19 pandemic.

The honorable member should note that the site is privately owned, although the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) and the Free State Provincial Heritage Resources Authority (FSPHRA) can declare the sites at provincial or national level, the owner reserves the right to admission.

It is our considered view that a negotiated Management Conservation Management Plan (CMP) can aid an amicable agreement. The site is nominated and served at the Free State Provincial Heritage Resources Authority (FSPHRA) grading and declaration committee.

• The Committee considered giving this site a Grade II status due to its importance to people in the Free State and recommend that an application be submitted to South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) for Grade I due to the site’s national significance.
• The FSPHRA is will meet with Setsoto Municipality to discuss and to map a way forward regarding the protection of the site.

During June/July 2020, noting the developments in the country with the Black Lives Matter (#BLM) campaign lead taken by National Cricket player Lungi Ngidi. That triggered many allegations of racial discrimination in cricket from other former Cricket Players like Makhaya Ntini, Ashwell Prince and others, the Minister convened a meeting with sports persons who indicated their experiences of racism.

The Minister communicated with Cricket SA (CSA) to ascertain how Cricket was dealing with the matter.

Cricket South Africa responded to indicate that they developed the Integrated Transformation Strategy that was meant to ensure that players and stakeholders (including staff and fans) could raise their complaints and pro-actively address the scourge of racism and discrimination within their ranks. The Board’s intention was to deal with all matters of discrimination, racism, and privilege in cricket in general.

They indicated that in August 2020 the CSA Board approved the Cricket for Social Justice and Nation Building (SJN) Concept proposed by the Transformation Committee.

The concept included the establishment of the Office of the Transformation Ombudsman, whose core function was to manage an independent complaints system, to deal with the complaints received from the ex-players and coaches, and any stakeholder in Cricket and convene National SJN hearings. The Office of the Transformation Ombudsman is a separate entity within CSA, with powers to make recommendations to the Board and is funded by the CSA.

Advocate Dumisa Ntsebeza was appointed as the Ombudsman of the Cricket for Social Justice and Nation Building (SJN) project. Hearings were held from 20 July 2021 to 29 October 2021.

According to CSA, the report from this independent panel is expected by 10 December 20201.CSA will then consider the recommendations on all matters that stems from this report
