REPLY

The Nelson Mandela Sport and Culture Day program took place on 22 November 2014 and as history has recorded this was an unprecedentedly huge project which involved a cross-sectoral array of various delivery partners and interest groups. Its scope was huge and so were the intricacies and dynamics that underpinned its success.

The process of coordinating and consolidating reports from the various partners and interest groups that were involved in its delivery is therefore currently underway and yet to be finalised. All the questions pertaining to this project will duly be responded to once that has been concluded and this pertain among others, to Parliamentary Question 2865.

1918. Mr D Bergman (DA) to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:

(1) What total amount has been awarded by the Sports Trust to the (a) Sisonke Gym, (b) National Sports Week in Bloemfontein and (c) National Sports Awards that will be hosted in 2014;

(2) (a) what were the criteria met by these projects to receive the support and (b) what is the current status of the projects?

REPLY

(a) Sisonke Gym:

The total amount allocated by the Sports Trust for Sisonke Boxing Gymnasium project is R3,932,905.90.

(b) National Schools Sport Championship 2013 in Bloemfontein:

Sport and Recreation South Africa did not transfer any monies to the Sports Trust for the South African National Schools Sport Championship 2013 in Bloemfontein. The National Lotteries Distribution Board transferred an amount of R23 million to the Sports Trust in order for the Sports Trust to pay for the goods and services of the SA National Schools Sport Championship 2013 which was held in Bloemfontein.

Sport and Recreation South African has not transferred any monies to the Sports Trust for the coming South African Sports Awards 2014.

Sisonke Gym:

The project was identified as one of the Ministerial Special Projects based on the following key considerations:

1. The engagement of SRSA with Sisonke can be traced back to 2011 when Ms. Noni Tenge became the IBF World Female Welterweight champion and the Minister had sought to applaud and recognize the outstanding achievement of this South African boxer in line with our strategy and stated policy objectives of supporting and promoting women in sport.

2. It was on 11 June 2011 at Carnival City, Johannesburg, when Noni 'She Bee Stinging' Tenge, the young, female boxer from the dusty streets of Mdantsane, made history by becoming the first ever, IBF Welterweight Female Champion of the World whilst concurrently also reigning as the WBO Champion of the World and WBO Intercontinental Champion of Africa.

What was most heartening about this young champion's success was the humble, rural settings that constitute her background, more especially the dilapidated, roof-leaking facility that served as her gym and honed her skills. Having looked at the sad state of that facility, the Ministry of Sport & Recreation SA saw a need to work on an integrated program that would serve to celebrate Noni Tenge's accomplishment whilst at the same time, outlining a Plan of Action that will address other immediate challenges facing boxing and sport generally, in Mdantsane, particularly the shortage and dilapidated state of facilities.

The commitment premised from an acknowledgement that if Sisonke Boxing Gym could produce the world's most domineering female force in boxing like Noni Tenge in its dilapidated state and within minimal support, then possibilities are endless if it were to be adequately supported. In actual fact, not only has it produced a female world champ but it has also produced many other accomplished boxers like Olympian and Commonwealth athletes such as Siphiwe Lusizi, Ayabonga Sonjica and Thulani Mbenge, who have also won Continental titles.

In recognition of that bitter reality at the centre of a historical accomplishment by an African Female Athlete, the Ministry of Sport & Recreation saw as highlighted above, a need for intervention. Key among issues to be covered by the Ministry's intervention Plan of Action was to work with the Buffalo City and the Province of Eastern Cape in renovating and refurbishing the Sisonke Gym in Mdantsane to enable it to produce more champions in the future. As a start, the Ministry contributed training equipment to the gym.

3. There was no credit made out to the Sisonke Boxing Club. However, since then, the Sports Trust as a partner of government has been requested to finalise all the necessary processes of ensuring the renovation and refurbishment of the gym. The Department has made a contribution to the Sports Trust to ensure that this becomes a reality.The project when completed would be benecial to the broader community of Mdantsane which is in dire need for public amenities.

National Schools Sport Championship 2013 in Bloemfontein:

The South African National Schools Sport Champions is a deliverable on the MoU signed between Sport and Recreation South Africa and the Department of Basic Education and the National Sport and Recreation Plan.

The South African Sports Awards 2014:

The South African Sports Awards is reward and recognition programme that is exposed in the National Sport and Recreation plan and is on the annual performance plan of the Department of Sport and Recreation South Africa.

Sisonke Gym:

All the preliminary project preparatory stages (concept development, designs and costing) have been finalized.

According to the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality requirements, public consultation through various media platforms had to be conducted. Notices were therefore placed on the newspapers for the public to indicate acceptance or rejection of the project, sub division and the zoning application. The closing date for public submissions was the 10^th of November 2014. All indications are that there are no objections recorded to date.

National Schools Championships and SA Sports Awards:

The Sports Awards is an annual and continuous project the 2014 edition was held on the 30 November 2014 whilst the Planning for SA Schools Sport Championship is in earnest and will take place on the 10 – 16 December 2014.

This strategy was also to be incorporated into the Performance agreement of the Minister and the President and serve as the basis of Departmental submissions to the then Outcome 12b on Social Cohesion strategy of government.

Reply received: September 2014

QUESTION NUMBER 1584.

Adv A de W Alberts (FF Plus) to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:

REPLY

(1) It is not necessary to introduce quotas for white and brown soccer players in the National team. The goal of the Transformation Charter is for all sport teams to represent the national and provincial demographic profiles of the country. Currently, football has a national team representation of approximately 80% Black African, 9% Coloured/Indian and 9% White, which reflects the demographics of the country.

(2) Minister will not force teams to field incomplete teams or to withdraw from meetings if there are no persons available to fill quotas. The onus is on the sport codes to achieve their own targets, which they are in process of presenting as a 5 year projection until 2018.

(3) Minister has not been informed of such cases where players have been ejected from national teams because of the colour of their skin.

REPLY

This Parliamentary Question cannot be responded to in the stipulated time frames because of the following reasons:

(i) The question requires the department to back as from 2010 and more time will be required to peruse files and specifically sift the information relevant to effectively respond to the question.

(ii) The National Sport and Recreation Department is a small department with a limited human resource and it is difficult to assign them all at once without compromising on service delivery.

We therefore humbly request an extension or more time to respond thoroughly on this Parliamentary question.

QUESTION 1252 (NW1542E) (QUESTION PAPER NO 1 – 2014) FOR WRITTEN REPLY IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

Mr M S Malatsi (DA) to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:

Did the SA Football Association (SAFA) approach or negotiate with any broadcaster to sell the broadcasting rights for all national football teams' matches before concluding the new deal with Siyaya TV; if not, why not; if so (a) which broadcasters, (b) what were their financial offers or propositions and (c) why did SAFA select Siyaya TV?

REPLY:

MINISTER F. A. MBALULA, MP

MINISTER OF SPORT AND RECREATION SA:

(a) which broadcasters,

YES - SAFA has been in discussions with other broadcasters who expressed an interest in the available rights. In addition, SAFA is still in ongoing discussions with the SABC who are still under contract with SAFA.

(b) what were their financial offers or propositions:

Only one financial offer was received which was less favourable in terms of:

1. Financial reward offered,

2. The rights demanded by the broadcaster both within South Africa and on the rest of the Continent, and further called for

3. Reduced obligations on behalf of the broadcaster in terms of many key deliverables required by SAFA

Reply: Why:

SAFA announced last year that it needed to look at new ways of generating revenue and because of historical disadvantages, SAFA until now has generated far less revenue than other sporting codes such as rugby and cricket. Clearly the negotiated broadcast rights fee was a key factor which distinguished Siyaya from the other potential broadcasters.

The Siyaya agreement is founded on a true partnership which is groundbreaking in many other key areas as well. "When government first called for expressions for digital terrestrial television (DTT), one of Siyaya's stated goals was that DTT should reach rural communities. This is very important to SAFA and its 341 Local Football Associations. Other key deliverables include:

• Commitment to Live Broadcast for All SAFA Senior National Teams;

• Guaranteed broadcast coverage for SAFA Leagues;

• Broadcast coverage of SAFA's Youth National Teams;

• Weekly Magazine program;

• SAFA Awards dinner and other events coverage;

• Territory;

• IP Rights retained by SAFA; and

• Minimum production standards and minimum number of matches to be produced

SAFA received a proposal from a private entity 3 years ago to endorse the establishment of a football museum, but elected not to endorse the project in the format it was presented at the time. Since then, SAFA has not engaged in any discussion about the establishment or endorsement of a sports museum.

2) SAFA has no knowledge of a grant of R4,8m made by the National Lottery Fund to the SA Football Museum. SAFA has no relationship with an entity named 'SA Football Museum'.
