ANNUAL REPORT 2005/06 PRESENTATION: SELECT COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, CLUTURE AND SPORT: 28 FEBRUARY 2007
INTRODUCTION • First year of implementation of restructuring of sport delivery structures, following adoption of SASCOC’s Articles of Association and elections in December 2004. SASCOC then appointed its first CEO who started work on 1st April 2005. • Dominated on the Government’s side by the amalgamation of SASC and SRSA. Difficult experience for most staff since it was only 5 years earlier that SASC was formed out of DSR and NSC.
INTRODUCTION (2) • Restructuring process had attempted to clearly delineate areas of responsibility between Government and SASCOC. a) Government to focus on increasing participation and supporting development at grassroots level. With regard to the Mass Participation Programme, we are pleased to report that a firm foundation was laid by the Siyadlala Programme during 2005/06
INTRODUCTION (3) b) SASCOC to focus mainly on High Performance and National Teams. • Also 2005/06 was the year of putting in place the basic infrastructure and framework for us to prepare for the hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. A lot of ground was covered by both the Government and the LOC.
INTRODUCTION (4) • The one major downside in our efforts to improve participation in Sport and Recreation is that the termination of the Building for Sports and Recreation Programme and its migration to MIG in DPLG has not yielded positive results thus far.
