REPLY:
(1) Whether his department had an updated and approved human resources plan in the 2009-10 financial year?
No.
If not, why not?
There were parts of the plan that needed research by external service providers. The department had put a moratorium on the appointment of consultants and the department had no choice but to seek assistance from HSRC. HSRC did not deliver as they were not going to be paid and that led to further delays. The department then approved the appointment of a Service provider (Workinfo.com) with expertise to populate the research parts of the Human Resource Plan. Further delays were also caused by the change of the template by DPSA.
If so, when was the plan
(a) Approved?
The Human Resource Plan was never finalised for approval by the Executing Authority.
(2) Whether the plan has since been
(a) Updated and
(b) Approved? If not;
No.

My 2010 School Adventure
The My 2010 School Adventure project, an initiative of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South Africa (OC) and the national departments of Education and Sport and Recreation, focused on three key areas - education, development of sports skills and coaching, and participation in regional and nationwide schools football tournaments.
Linked to the above, a special schools project called Adopt a Nation, part of the My 2010 School Adventure saw schools adopt the identity of nations participating in the Confederations Cup. This provided an opportunity for schools to know more about the cultures of the people of the world. Ambassadors and representatives from the eight Confederations Cup nations took part in the launch, at which South Africa's nine provinces each adopted one of the eight participants and the African Union, in a random draw.
This schools campaign targeted over 12 million children from over 30 000 schools nationwide.
Schools played in provincial football tournaments and the winning teams from all the provinces participated in the Schools Confederations Cup in May 2009 and in the Schools 2010 World Cup in May 2010
The national winning teams, in addition to prizes also won tickets to the Festival of Champions, as the Confederations Cup and to World Cup matches hosted in their provinces.
Discussions are ongoing with DBE, SRSA, SASFA and the private sector to constitute a schools league based on the My 2010 Schools Adventure model.
Provinces will continue to receive funding through the conditional Grant for legacy projects based on business plans approved by SRSA.
Partnership agreements with donors GTZ and KfW continue until 2012 . Discussions are in progress with regard to extension of the term with further funding.

(bb)
The promotional material were purchased as part of the mass mobilisation programme of the Department. It was implemented in all nine provinces with two sites selected in each local community. The Department took a strategic decision to conduct roadshows across the country as part of the build-up to the tournament. The purpose of the programme was to galvanise South Africans to be part of the 2010 FIFA World Cup excitement, and thus be able to attend games at match venues and other designated areas such as fan parks and public viewing areas. Each province selected two sites where a detailed programme was implemented. The community engagement programme involved coaching clinics by soccer legends and presentation of sport equipment.
(iii)
(aa)
The promotional material was handed out to members of communities visited during the roadshow as part of promoting community visibility of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. These communities were selected by provinces and other sport development partners as part of the massification of participation in sport.
(bb)
These are members of the community who were mobilised during the roadshow. They were part of the excitement generated during the build-up towards the tournament. The opinion of the Department was that communities outside the 2010 FIFA World Cup Host Cities should also be beneficiaries of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The coaching clinics, for example, conducted with soccer legends, form part of the legacy of hosting the tournament.
(iv)
(aa)
As part of the overall communication strategy to promote government's involvement in the hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, it was agreed that promotional material must be developed to communicate the message to communities. As part of the work carried out by the 2010 Government Coordinating Unit, a summary of the progress on the delivery of the 17 Guarantees and legacy initiatives was included on the publications. Messages of the 2010 FIFA World Cup such as "KE NAKO. Celebrate Africa's Humanity", were printed on the promotional material purchased. The identified items such as t-shirts and caps have a mass appeal to community members such as those involved in sport and other community development activities.
(bb)
The Department carries out its work according to the approved Business Plans. The project manager, after consultation with the task team, provided a go-ahead to Supply Chain Management, to begin the procurement of the identified items. In addition, as most of the work of the Department sought to respond to the common cause of using the 2010 FIFA World Cup to promote mass participation in sport in SA, various requests were made by project managers for authorisation so as to deliver an integrated mass mobilisation programme.
QUESTION: NO 2762
(Internal Question Paper No 30 – 2010)
Mr N J J van R Koornhof (Cope) to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:
Whether he has found that progress has been made in ensuring that a competitive team is sent to participate in the next Olympic Games? If not, what is the position in this regard? If so,
(a) How much funds has been allocated to ensure a positive outcome in this regard and
(b) What are the further relevant details?
REPLY
(a) Seven million (R7 000 000) was spent in 2009/ 2010 financial year as part of the Operation Excellence programme geared towards preparation for London 2012. In the current financial year, R25 713 158.50 has been allocated for the preparation of 54 athletes for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (ranked 1 – 16 in the world). For the Academy programme, R2 078 400.00 has been allocated for 20 athletes who are in the next tier in terms of their ranking (17- 25 in the world). This funding is not sufficient to cover all expenses, however, focus in on medal potential. In terms of analysis of budgets submitted by athletes, approximately R94m is still required to ensure that athletes receive the full support from 2011 up to the Games. This will entail them giving up work and studies to train on a full time basis. Challenges still experienced in securing sponsors for the Olympic Team, with the main source of support being the lottery and SRSA.
(b) The above allocation is paid as monthly support grants for actual expenditure through the Operation Excellence and Academy Support Programmes. This allocation caters for living expenses, medical aid, sport scientific and medical support services, coaching fees, local and international training camps and competitions, equipment and apparel. Support for individual coaches is now being focused on to ensure that the athletes will be coached by top level coaches who can ensure they perform at a higher level. Some athletes have been afforded an opportunity to have internationally based coaches and are based overseas during certain periods of the season to ensure they have contact with their coaches. It is still of concern that there may be fewer athletes going to the Games in 2012. There are new athletes coming up who need to be supported, and full time coaches to be appointed for the identified athletes, therefore, more funding may be required.

Mr T D Lee (DA) to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:
Whether he has found that Netball SA's application of the quota system in team selection is in accordance with his department's policy? If not, why not? If so, what are the relevant details?
