Hon Speaker, to ensure that the 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup leaves a proud legacy that children and our communities will enjoy for many years to come, the Department of Sports and Recreation in KwaZulu- Natal is set to improve the standard of football in the province by sending 13 of their local coaches to Brazil on an international coaching course. Furthermore, the Department is also planning to bring Brazilian coaches to the province to conduct coaching clinics and workshops.
The ANC supports this initiative and believes that it will contribute to the long-term development of soccer in our country as well as maintaining the spirit and momentum built by the successful hosting of the 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup. The ANC hopes that other provinces will emulate this initiative. Mmusakgotla ke a leboga. [Thank you.] [Applause.]
