Madam Deputy Speaker, the ANC supports Vote 19 - Sports and Recreation. The social cohesion the nation is building through sports this year is at its highest peak, and it would never change again as from this year.
The issue of the Auditor-General's qualification on Sports and Recreation is not a qualification. I want to tell the DA that those were matters of emphasis, which, if the department did not adhere to it or deal with certain things, would have resulted in a qualification. It was not a qualification. I think hon Lee will learn a bit more when we are at the portfolio committee level.
On the issue of Lovelife, Lovelife is an international agreement. The R28 million that is given to Sport and Recreation is an international agreement. National Treasury sends that money to Sport and Recreation, which in turn takes the money and gives it to Lovelife.
But central to that is the fact that issues of HIV and Aids, through the awareness of sport, are more easily recognised, and they could be easily profiled when they are situated within Sport and Recreation. Therefore, it is correct that that programme of Lovelife should be with Sport and Recreation to assist our children to be conscious of HIV and Aids and all other challenges that face them.
The issue of less money for sports at schools is not correct. The baseline for Sport and Recreation in 2009 and 2010 was R22 million. After the adjustment, it went up to R35 million. So it is not correct to say to this House that the money has been reduced when the baseline for 2010-11 is R23 million.
An adjustment will therefore come and then it is going to be moving it up. Therefore, the ANC confidently supports this Budget Vote unequivocally. It is correct for all of us to support this Budget Vote. Thank you. [Applause.]
