1. A lists of beneficiaries whose payments were rejected by their banks and those who could not be reached were published on the Department’s website in December 2021; requesting them to contact the department to make necessary corrections. Only six (6) out of the twenty-eight (28) beneficiaries of the bank rejections came through and they were paid.

Out of the sixty-six (66) beneficiaries who could not be reached, only eight (8) came forward and were paid.

2. The funds were not reallocated as they were meant for a specific purpose and limited to a specific financial year.

(a). Primarily, I would like to correct the wrong perception that the Culture Promotion Act, Act 59 of 1998, gives me the power and discretion to, without Treasury approval, provide funding to independent institutions, which meet the goals, objectives and vision of my Department. The Act should be read in concurrence with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), which regulate financial management in all national government departments and other state organs, to ensure that the persons who are entrusted with public service responsibilities manage all public revenues efficiently and effectively. Section 38 of the PFMA requires all government entities to put and maintain proper systems in place for effective, efficient and transparent financial management.

In line with the requirements of the PFMA, my Department has developed internal policies to guide on how its mandate is delivered, and this includes funding policies. Guided by our legislations and policies, we always strive to improve our chances of achieving the desired result - thus our business strategy and/or mandate.

Yes, I have been informed about the suspension of Mr Nicolas Wolpe by the Liliesleaf Trust Board. The suspension was based on a forensic investigation report that was launched by the Board on the misappropriation of funds at the Liliesleaf Museum.

a) It should be noted that the allocation of funds to sport federations is based on their applications detailing the programmes and projects they intend to implement. The amount of funds allocated to Swimming South Africa for the financial year 2020 / 2021 and 2021 / 2022 was R4,015,831.81 and R4,500,000 respectively.

The funds allocated to Surfing for the financial year 2020 / 2021 and 2021 / 2022 was R562, 573.14 and R625, 000 respectively.

b) My Department continues to work with and support Swimming South Africa and Surfing South Africa in terms of the programmes and projects they submit to the Department as part of their Grant Applications. The Department has a Provincial Sport Programme, which is being implemented in conjunction with the Provincial Departments responsible for sport, arts and culture.

1. It is incorrect to say that the Department funded lawyers to litigate against the ZM Makeba Trust. We were approached by the family through the Miriam Makeba Foundation (NPC), to assist to resolve the dispute on the intellectual property of Mama Miriam Makeba. Following failed attempts, it was clear that the judiciary could only resolve this matter, and the Foundation then took the matter to the court. The Foundation later approached the Department for financial assistance to employ the services of the lawyers. Accordingly, the Department entered into an agreement with the Foundation and not with the lawyers. This perception that we wanted the lawyers should be corrected.

1. Yes. The Department was established with the key mandate to provide, inter alia, clear leadership in the art, culture and heritage and to accelerate the transformation of the arts and culture sector.

In addition, the Culture Promotion Act (CPA) as amended, provides inter alia that the Minister may in order to develop and promote arts and culture in the Republic provide such other services as are necessary or expedient, or subsidise or finance the provision of services by any person (see section 2(1)(b)(vi)). It was for this reason that we saw it fit to assist in this matter, given our mandate.

The Ministry budget comes from Programme one of the Department. We work within that allocation.

1. At the onset, it should be indicated and made clear that the Makeba matter has never been about funding litigation between warring factions. From its inception, the Makeba project has been about the protection and preservation of the intangible heritage of the Makeba legacy as per the mandate of the Department. Amongst other issues, this was the resolution of the dispute between Trustees on the one hand, and Beneficiaries of the ZM Makeba Trust, on the other hand concerning the ownership, protection, and preservation of the Makeba legacy. Miriam Makeba was a national figure, and her legacy remains a national heritage.

2. Yes, this was the right way of protecting the national heritage and legacy. Section 2 of Culture Promotion Act (CPA) gives the Minister express discretionary powers to finance any organisation or project - whose objectives are likely to have an impact throughout the country. In this regard, it was the Minister’s privilege to exercise discretionary powers in deciding whether the objectives are likely to have the needed impact. In this event, my office decided accordingly that this matter would have a national impact and should therefore be addressed.

My Department has not made any engagements with the Rharhabe Royale House nor the Royal House contacted the Department regarding the 150th anniversary of the death of Chief Maqoma.

The gravesite is not a Declared Site in accordance with the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999) and as such, its management remains under the custodianship of the province, and local authorities. SAHRA will engage the Rharabe Royal House on the purpose of grading the grave.

(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.

((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.

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.

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.

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.

Reply:

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.

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 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.

1. The media reports were incorrect, the correct message was that we were working with our Stakeholders such as the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture and National Lotteries Commission to provide incentives. This was also clarified at a media conference that was held after the Games (August 2021).

2. The amount budgeted and paid out by DSAC & NLC was R4.40m.

(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.

(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.

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.

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

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.

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”.
