Madam Chairperson, we will not support the Budget Vote this year for the following three reasons. [Interjections.] Firstly, last year we supported the Budget Vote because we were promised that Boxing SA's house would be in order. However, this year Boxing SA has received another disclaimer of opinion of the Auditor-General.
Secondly, the transformation agenda continues to be racist and is pursued at the expense of the development of sport at school and at club level. Thirdly, the department continues to have an unacceptable backlog in terms of infrastructure.
The department can be likened to a rudderless ship, as a director-general has still not been appointed. We cannot understand why the previous incumbent's contract could not be extended. He was professional, diligent and efficient. I thank you, Chairperson.
