The scope of this vision is one of nationwide impact. The implication is that, despite the delivery of sport and recreation in three different spheres of Government, all of the actions and initiatives within SRSA’s mandate will be optimally integrated and coordinated for maximum impact. SRSA can make a difference to our nation.

Values: • Dedication • Innovation • Integrity • Transparency • Teamwork • Accountability Legislative framework The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996, affirms the democratic values of human dig- nity, equality and freedom. In line with these Constitutional imperatives, SRSA has been assigned the powers and functions to develop and implement national policies and programmes regarding sport and recreation in the country. SRSA acknowledges that sport is a provincial and local competence in accordance with Schedule 5 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, but that the Inter-Governmental Act requires that the three spheres of Government must plan and deliver services in an integrated manner. The National Sport and Recreation Act, 1998 (No 110 of 1998), and as amended by the National Sport and Recreation Act, 2007 (Act No 18 of 2007) oversees the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. It is the overarching mandate. In terms of the Act, the Department must promote and develop sport and recreation, through the coordination of the relationships with the Sports Confederation, National 06 SRSA Annual Report 2010/2011 General Information Federations (NFs) and other agencies. The Act provides for measures aimed at correcting imbalances in sport and recreation, dispute mechanisms and allows for the formulation of regulations. According to the Act, the Department must perform the following functions: • The Minister must recognise in writing, a Sports Confederation that will be the national coordinating macro body for the promotion and development of high performance sport in the Republic; • The Department must enter into a service level agreement with the Sports Confederation and National Federations relative to the functions in terms of the Act; • The Minister may, after consultation with the Sports Confederation, determine the general policy for sport and recreation as far as high performance is concerned; • The Department must provide training, workshops, and seminars to all sports people, including adminis- trators; • In terms of its funding policy, the Department must provide physical facilities for sport and recreation na- tionally, depending on the availability of funds; • When planning such facilities, the Department must ensure that special consideration is given to the ac- cessibility of such facilities, to sports people and spectators with disabilities; • The Department

  • Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) Is the National Government Department Responsible for Sport in South Africa
    Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) is the national government department responsible for sport in South Africa. Aligned with its vision of creating An Active and Winning Nation, its primary focuses are providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; managing the regulatory framework thereof and providing funding for different codes of sport. The department transforms the delivery of sport and recreation by ensuring equitable access, development and excellence at all levels of participation, thereby improving social cohesion, nation-building and the quality of life of all South Africans. The SRSA is established in terms of the Public Service Act of 1994. Its legal mandate is derived from the National Sport and Recreation Amendment Act, 2007 (Act 18 of 2007), which requires it to oversee the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. The Act provides the framework for relationships between the department and its external clients. This includes the SRSA’s partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC). The partnership is key to improving South Africa’s international ranking in selected sports. The Act also ensures that sport and physical education contribute to social cohesion by legislating on sports participation and sports infrastructure. Aligned with the SRSA’s vision of an active and winning nation, the department primarily focuses on providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; manages the regulatory framework; and provides funding for different sporting codes. The SRSA aims to maximise access, development and excellence at all levels of participation in sport and recreation to improve the quality of life for all South Africans.
