Yes, I'm happy about Cricket SA in terms of implementing the Nicholson recommendations. However, we still have challenges with regard to ASA, because it is faced with a number of challenges which, among other things, includes the question of maladministration and fraudulent and corrupt activities in the past. We now have all hands on deck to ensure that we address the challenges that they are faced with.
As things stand, they asked for a bailout from us, but the bailout is not going to be a blank cheque. We are not just going to give them R5 million without there being any accountability.
Therefore, to us it means that if we give them a bailout, they have to allow us to do a forensic audit on what happened with regard to the public resources or the resources that were spent by Athletics SA. We are, therefore, fully committed to assisting them financially, but we need to get everything else in order before we can actually give our full assistance to ASA.
With regard to Cricket SA, we are very happy, excited and over the moon. We are on track. With regard to those who are defending themselves in relation to the matters arising from the Nicolson recommendations, those matters are being dealt with in the labour court and they have made their case. We wouldn't like to comment on it because it's a matter that we have responded to, in defence of our stance and the accusations that have been levelled against us. Therefore, it's a matter before the court, and the court will decide on that.
With regard to the Lotto, the answer is yes. In fact, what we are emphasising here is that we are no longer giving money to federations without conditions because they must commit to transformation and good governance.
To this end, we are supporting and assisting them to ensure that there are proper good-governance mechanisms in place before each federation can get its portion of the conditional grant from the department.
