The South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) indicated that the budget has been updated to provide for only those costs that are essential for the delivery of Team SA to the Tokyo Games. Sponsors have been signed up and more sponsors are being engaged.
Additional costs due to the Covid-19 protocols with regards to the team travel, camp and medical services as prescribed in the Play Books published by the IOC and IPC Book has been considered and factored into the budget.
The original projected budget was R45, 000.000 but with the sponsorships, funding received and revisit to adjust for only those line items that are critical for games delivery, the budget is now well under R20, 000,000.
