1 PRESENTATION TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON SRSA PERFORMANCE QUARTER 2 OF THE 2014/15 FINANCIAL YEAR Date: 11 October 2014

2 This presentation is an overview of SRSA’s performance against quarterly performance indicators/targets as reflected in the Department’s Annual Performance Plan (APP) for 2014/15 financial year. It summarises the details covered in the quarterly performance review report for quarter 2 (July to September 2014). SRSA senior managers under the leadership of the Director-General, gather at a quarterly performance review meeting in the first month following each quarter, to review the performance for that particular quarter. The final report is submitted to the Audit Committee and National Treasury for consideration and advice. Unless where the achievement was significant, the achievement of targets by support function units is not covered in this presentation. Achievements covered are based on evidence received. In cases where valid performance evidence relating to quarter 2 is later presented, the report will either be updated or the achievement will be reflected in quarter 3. INTRODUCTION

7 PROGRAMME 2: ACTIVE NATION Active Recreation & Community Sport: Sport and recreation promotion campaigns and events (2) The events carried out were: Indigenous Games; 67 Minutes of Mandela Legacy in Cullinan; Outreach in Paarl, Outreach in Phillipi, and Outreach in Manenberg. Participants in sport and recreation promotion campaigns and events (150) There were 3, 080 participants (1, 549: Outreach projects & the 67 minutes of Mandela + 1, 531: Indigenous Games). A further 688 people were involved in different capacities during the 2014 Indigenous Games. Provincial Sport Support and coordination: Mass Participation and Sport Development Conditional Grant quarterly reports submitted (1) – report on implementation of the DORA Grant is outstanding: The provinces submit information only at the end of the month following a quarter. It then takes about 15 days to analyse the information and finalise the report. The status will change once the report is finalised.

8 PROGRAMME 2: ACTIVE NATION School Sport: National Schools Sport Championships Supported: The preparations towards the school sport championships to take place in December 2014 are on track. Sport Focus Schools on the programme: There are 16 sport focus schools that SRSA have verified. These schools have all accepted to be part of the programme but must still sign a MOU with SRSA. Only 2 schools have signed and submitted MOU’s. The Department liaised directly with these schools.

9 PROGRAMME 3: WINNING NATION

10 Scientific Support Athletes & coaches assisted by means of scientific support programmes (40): There are currently thirty-one athletes (29) and coaches/managers (2). As such, those are the only ones the Department could support in line with the aforesaid indicator. The programme is being discontinued. As a result, there are no new intakes into the programme. Athletes supported through the Ministerial Sports Bursary Programme (40): Six athletes were supported (this number may change slightly when final verification is conducted). This is due to a combination of money awaited from the Lottery and delays in receiving correct banking details from beneficiaries’ representatives. Knowledge management systems implemented and maintained (2): SASReCon was postponed to Q3 due to the unavailability of the identified venue. With regards to the ThinkSport Journal, only 3 authors contributed articles. SASReCon did indeed take place in Q3 and the ThinkSport authors are being followed up.

11 PROGRAMME 3: WINNING NATION Drug-free support agencies supported (5): Although the Department estimated supporting 5 drug-free support agencies in quarter 1, this support is needs-based; depending on for example, meetings called by the agencies to be supported; events organized, and so forth. SRSA was therefore only able to support one organization. SRSA will continue to respond [positively to the needs raised by the agencies, within the available resources. Major Events Major international events receiving intra-governmental support per year (1). The World Youth Chess Championship and the Karate World Cup were supported. The support of the Karate World Cup was an additional responsibility emanating from the President of the country having mentioned in one of his speeches, that the games will be supported. Sport Tourism International sporting events, exhibitions or conferences used to showcase SA as a sports tourism destination (1): Ekhaya (A home away from home hospitality centre) was held at the Commonwealth Games, in Glasgow.

12 PROGRAMME 4: SPORT SUPPORT

13 Sport and Recreation Service Providers: Sport and recreation bodies receiving financial support per year (35): Transfer payments to the targeted 35 sport and recreation bodies were not made. This, mainly because of delays in submission of required documentation by the sport and recreation bodies. The Basketball League finals were held on 06 September 2014 at Wembley Stadium. Tshwane Suns emerged as the 2014 BNL Champions.

14 PROGRAMME 4: SPORT SUPPORT International Relations: Bilateral exchanges implemented supported (1): An agreement on sports matters between the Government of the Republic of Jamaica and the Government of the Republic of South Africa was signed on the sidelines of the Commonwealth Ministers Meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, on 21 July 2014. Minister Mbalula and Minister Headley both signed the agreement. The support of Physical Education and Sport students studying in Cuba is ongoing. The students were supported with travel logistics for the Winter (in July) and Spring (in September) vacations to ensure that they do not become a burden for the government of Cuba. A request towards payment of their stipends was also initiated. It is never guaranteed as to when another country will finally sign an agreement with South Africa, despite preparations having been done. It is for this reason that achievement is more than was planned. Multilateral engagements supported (2): Two multilateral engagements were supported as planned; viz. Commonwealth Sports Ministers’ Meeting and the Bidding for Commonwealth Games 2022.

15 PROGRAMME 5: INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT

16 Sport and Recreation facility planning: Provinces with completed facility audit (2): Requests for information were sent to provinces but feedback was not received, indicative that no counts were completed. Initial follow-ups yielded no results. The Department will follow up with provinces in Q3 to understand their challenges. Sport and Recreation facility management: Sport and recreation facilities assisted with technical support during construction (3): Support was provided to the 19 projects (11 Sport for Social Change (SFC) projects; 5 Municipal Infrastructure Grant facilities; and 3 Gyms). This includes the 5 facilities that were not reported on, in Q1 due to extended consultations. More SFC projects were nearing completion; as such more projects had to be supported. Support of MIG projects is dependent on receipt of MIG report on Sport & Recreation projects, from COGTA.

17 OVERALL DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE AND CONCLUSION

18 There were 16 targets to be achieved by the Department during Quarter 2 of 2014/15. Seven targets were achieved and nine were not achieved. This equals 44% achievement of the Quarter 2 targets. Most of the targets not achieved are work in progress and with the majority of SRSA projects taking place in the last 3 months of this calendar year a much improved report is expected after the 3 rd quarter. CONCLUSION: The Department appreciates the support and leadership provided by the parliamentary structures such as the Portfolio Committee, towards our achievements. We have a clean audit to maintain.
