Mr W F Faber (DA-NC) to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:
How will he and/or his department restore public faith and credibility in
South African sport considering the recent controversy surrounding Cricket
South Africa and the SA Football Association (details furnished)?
REPLY
The Minister places great importance in restoring public faith and
credibility in South African sport, especially the controversy surrounding
Cricket South Africa and the South African Football Association. Minister
has appointed Judge Nicholson as the head of the Committee of inquiry into
the issues surrounding Cricket SA. As for the football controversy,
Minister requested SAFA to apologize publicly for their mishap where South
Africa did not qualify for the African Cup of Nations. SAFA did apologise
publicly in the print media. Currently, the Minister will not intervene
further, as SAFA will deal with this issue internally and provide a report
to the Minister.
