Firstly, with regard to the budgeting issues raised, I think there was no detailed plan that was considered. Overall the spirit of the resolution of Cabinet was that it is important for us to focus on consolidating the gains from the 2010 Fifa World Cup. It was not conclusive in the presentation that Moses Mabhida was the city that would have won because it was not only Moses Mabhida that would have been considered. There were also Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth. The short- listing process was actually led by the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee, Sascoc. There was no conclusion that Moses Mabhida was the destination. It was only the propaganda media campaign that had already concluded that Moses Mabhida in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, would have won the bid from the Sascoc short-listing process.
The fact that the private sector was coming to the party was only realised after the decision was made, where we received a lot of goodwill and people who were ready to support and partner in the hosting of the Olympics.
The Ministry of Tourism had not been engaged, broadly speaking, because the submission to Cabinet was the first stage. Thereafter we would have been in a position to quantify the bid in terms of the resources, including from the context of sport tourism, which would have required the participation of the Department of Tourism. That was all part of the process. That consultation and engagement did not take place.
