Dear delegates, our first democratically elected President set the example for all of us when he
discovered that sport is a vehicle to unite our deeply divided country. We can only build upon the
foundations which he has laid. It is upon us to build on his legacy of tolerance . Listen to his wise
words “Those who are ready to join hands can overcome the greatest challenges” (Nelson
Mandela).
The only thing I have discovered in sport that is a constant is change, because it brings renewal
about and therefore we will have to make some sacrifices for the good of our cause. You will
discover ,as I go deeper into my report, how the sport landscape has changed.
The NSRP has changed the status quo of the sport landscape as we know it forever.
By implementing it, we will succeed in building a new “Active and Winning Nation” we all
believe we shall. The landscape of sport and school sport in particular has changed forever.
And so is the role that the Regional Sport Councils will play as agents of government .
You have therefore a choice to come on board or stay behind.
Reflection of this report
•
This report will focuses mostly on the status of sport in our Region
and secondly sharing information of a national nature , which will
have an impact on your federation and ourselves as a Sport Council.

Trilateral - 1 / 2 February 2012 at the Wilderness Beach Hotel
It went well overall. Some federations came well prepared while others did their
federations a disservice. The main reasons were: They did not use the prescribed
template, Their Manco members not present. We need the decision makers of the
organization present to do the talking.
STATUS OF FEDERATIONS
1. Affiliation
We have currently 51 48 Federations and 4 Municipal Sport Councils on our books. Some
need still pay their affiliation fees for 2012
We have been contacted by a few Municipalities like George, Mossel Bay ,Knysna and
Central Karoo, after the MEC`s Indaba with all Municipalities in the Western Cape, and are
busy to engage them
2. TMC & Women in Sport – 16 May 2012
A new Transformation committee was established, because the previous one was inactive. It is
very important that they monitor the Transformation in accordance with Transformation
Charters Score Card, which is due in October 2012, of all federations within our region.
Our TMC is Chaired by Mr Barries Barnard.
The women's committees executive was broadened to share the load, because they are
quite busy.Their Chairperson is Ms Amanda Stripp.
We wish them well and hope that they will be of great assistance to the Executive.
3. Disputes
Federations are requested to try and solve any grievances within their respective federations,
according to your federations dispute resolution procedures.
Please inform your members not to send any complaint to the MEC`s office , because
it will be sent back for the SC to investigate and to report on.
I further want to plea with you to give your membership the opportunity to air their views
irrespective whether you agree or not.

•
The emphasis of the NSRP is to allow people to have access to sport and recreation.
The NSRP will only be reviewed in 2020.
According to the NSRP our biggest challenges will lie in: (1) aligning our boundaries to those of
our District Municipalities and (2) Integrating/aligning School (Codes of) Sport with Federations
It will take engagement and meaningful discussions between SWDSC, Eden DM ,Central Karoo
DM, Federations and the current School Sport structures..

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
SWDSC maintained very good relations with the following Municipalities without / which
assistance we cannot do – Eden DM (District) George and Oudtshoorn Municipalities
We are in the process of forging relationships with Knysna, Mossel Bay as a consequence of our
involvement in their Festivals. (Seeing that Government money is spent well will be Mr Desmond
Speelman (Mossel Bay), Mr Dave van der Walt (Oudtshoorn) and Mr Goliath Munro (Knysna)

SCHOOL SPORT
•
•
•
•
•
SASCOC the National Federations SRSA, & DBE have agreed on plans to launch a
new school sport structure – 26/27 May 2011 and to start in 2012.
School Sport is acknowledges by SASCOC and SRSA as a means to transformation
and fast track development in sport.
Schools will form from grassroots level (within schools) sport code structures
(Primary & High School)
These code structures will have representation , as associate members ,on
Executive level of the Federation
No Sport Council , SRSA or DECAS can in terms of the NSRP acknowledge any
other School Sport Structure . The current structures have played a valuable role in
the past, but we have moved on in this country, -eg set new goals for school
sport.
•
The school sport code committee will be represented by 4 people in each senior Sport
federation Subcommittees – The Convener however on the executive plus one (1)
delegate from the disability sector.
•
•
•
•
•
Point of departure:
To align School Code Committees with those of the federation.
The focus: To set up Leagues and to Building Capacity.
The Declaration on the NSRP Indaba (22November 2011) and signed by all
MEC`s envisaged School Olympics and National Top School Competitions.
DEMARCATION: THE WAY
FORWARD
•
•
Affiliation – All Provincial federations must be affiliated to the PSC.( SASCOC directive )
As is with the 74 National Federations to SASCOC, Provincial federations must be affiliated to the
PSC.
•
•
Resolutions taken at the last SASCOC Presidents Council:
All Federations must align and organize their sport structures according the 53 Districts
of the country by March 2013.
PSC should do the same. Instead of 4 we will have 6 District Sport Councils.
The SWDSC should divide into EDEN and CENTRAL KAROO SC`s. This matter will be
debated at our next Members Meeting, which will be a Special Meeting.
We just as SASCOC will then have to re-evaluate our federations membership – to see if
they are in compliance.
•
•
•
•
SRSA – Minister of Sport (Parliament) is the custodian of SA Sport (They ensure that
sport is regulated and implemented)
SASCOC and PSC – regarded as agents of Government (Eyes and Ears) hence their
mandate to monitor, evaluate and to implement.
