... but we have the following submissions to make: that rural sports development remains an issue as there are no facilities, and federations do not go there. The formation of the netball league is supported, but if the issue of the Football Integration Development Association, Fida, League is not looked into, it is not going to assist with the development of netball. So, netball clubs should be formed and they should be professional, like soccer clubs.
The bad story that is told about our national team, Bafana Bafana, should come to an end. We need Bafana Bafana to perform, as cricket and rugby teams are doing.
The Schools Sport programme is a good initiative, but it remains unclear as to how it is going to happen, because sport in schools is not compulsory, as it is outside of the seven hours of schooling. Sports hubs should be resourced for they help rural children to play at no cost to them. LoveLife should benefit all as they only attend national events and are nowhere to be seen in rural areas. The national lottery should make it easy for rural schools to access their funds for distribution. Thank you.
