South Africa adopted the National Sport and Recreation Plan (NSRP) during the Department of Sport and Recreation South Africa's (SRSA) sport indaba in August 2011, which is a guide to move the process of sport transformation and development forward. The resolutions from this indaba provided a framework which resolved how the plan would be provided. The current status of sport in South Africa and the global trends indicate that the success of sport depends entirely upon the systematic development programmes in place, which in this instance are well captured in the National Sport and Recreation Plan. Whilst the country is still going to develop a Physical Education Strategy, a broader school sports programme has been put in place and is amongst one of the priority programmes for the NSRP. South Africa can learn a lot from countries like Argentina, who are in the developmental state and have done so much in implementing Physical Education and School Sport programmes.
