  • Sport and Recreation
    The Department of Sport and Recreation (SRSA) derives its mandate from the National Sport and Recreation Act, 1998 (Act Act 110 of 1998), which requires it to oversee the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. The Act also provides the framework for relationships between SRSA and its external clients. This includes the department’s partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc), which is key to improving South Africa’s international ranking in selected sports. The Act also ensures that South Africa contributes to sport, physical education and social cohesion by legislating on sports partici- pation as well as on sports infrastructure. The SRSA strategic goals are to: • increase citizens’ access to sport and recreation activities • oversee the transformation of the sport and recreation sector • ensure that more athletes achieve interna- tional success • develop enabling mechanisms to support sport and recreation • ensure that sport and recreation are used as tools to support social cohesion and nation building. Sport and Recreation South Africa The SRSA is the national department responsible for sport in the country. Aligned with its vision of an active and winning nation, it 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 right to play and to participate in sport has been embodied in United Nations (UN) instruments such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. It is recognised as a right, which all governments should make available to their people.
