[Ms M W MAKGATE: Chairperson, hon Ministers, Members of Parliament and comrades, South Africa, as one of the countries which signed the International Convention Against Doping in Sport, has introduced an amendment in the Bill which prevents athletes from using drugs to ensure that there is control and fair participation among all athletes.]
Clause 2 provides for the amendment of section 3 of the principal Act, which will give the Minister powers to appoint the chairperson of the institute. The Minister, as per recommendation of the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee and the SA Institute for Drug-Free Sport, will appoint the other nine members, taking into consideration the requirements of the Public Service and Administration Act, which promotes gender equity, and representivity and redresses the imbalances in sport.
In appointing the chief executive officer, it must be noted that the institute will do so in consultation with the Minister, and subject to the Minister obtaining the concurrence of the Minister of Finance, in this regard. Staff members will be regulated by the institute through the establishment of personnel regulations, in consultation with the Minister for the Public Service and Administration directing human resource matters to comply with all relevant legislation applicable to the appointment of staff.
Clause 11 makes provision for punitive measures that may be implemented against national sports federations by Sport and Recreation South Africa after consultation with the institute.

[The Minister will have to intervene in this case if ever the loss will result in conflict, allegations of a corrupt management or any disgraceful intentions of tainting the image of sport and recreation.
Finally it should be noted that through this Bill, we will not be left behind in bringing to an end the use of drugs among South African athletes. Thank you. The ANC supports this Bill. [Applause.]]
