[Mr T A MASHAMAITE: Greetings to the hon Chairperson, the hon Minister, the hon Deputy Minister and the hon Members of Parliament. The Constitution of the democratic government of South Africa gives the Department of Sport and Recreation the power to make sure that culture, respect for human dignity, equality and freedom are protected and emphasised.
A long time ago, people were divided according to racial groups and different communities. Each and every group would come up with issues to prove their intelligence. All we have to do is to deal with these issues the right way, and this can be realised by emphasising sport in our communities.
The Department of Sport and Recreation has the power to ensure that South Africans have access to sports activities, especially the communities that were denied such opportunities in the past. The department has the responsibility to make sure that this becomes real.
You all remember that sport has brought different nations together, and it also established peace and friendship among them. We still need proper sports equipment because without that it is impossible to achieve the intended goals. The department has indicated that you do not have full information about availability of sports equipment in the country, hon Minister. I am not happy about this - the lack of information on availability and non-availability of sports equipment in different communities. It is obvious that the communities in certain parts of the country never had access to sports equipment. The department has to double its efforts or even do more to ensure that the communities have access to sports activities. This can also help to reduce the number of young people in places that sell alcohol.
Lack of employment is a serious issue in our country, especially for young people who have completed their studies. The government is committed to creating better job opportunities, as the President mentioned in his state of the nation address. The same is expected from the Department of Sport and Recreation. We would also appreciate it if the department can employ volunteers on a permanent basis so that they help in school sports. Employees perform better when they experience job satisfaction. [Applause.]
Hon Minister, the Auditor-General's report gave the department the impression that they did well, but he also indicated some of the things that he was not satisfied with. This implies that the department did not receive a clean audit. Hon Minister, if the department does not use the funds appropriately then how are we going to achieve the following: to unleash the potential in our communities; to create job opportunities; to ensure that sport is protected and emphasised in schools; and to revive indigenous games?
It is good to start learning at a young age rather than later in life. By indigenous games I mean skipping rope, hopscotch, five-stone game and a game similar to draughts. The department met with the committee in the past two weeks and reported great improvement in the management of funds. The committee appreciated the effort by the department to ensure that the funds are used appropriately.
The Auditor-General revealed that there are nine provinces which did not return unused funds to the National Treasury. He also indicated that there are three provinces which did not submit the quarterly financial reports. We are not happy about that. The department has already indicated that it has improved with regard to the management of funds. The issue of provinces needs attention.
I am from the rural areas. We only have a stadium in the city and nothing in the rural areas. We support the hon Minister on the statement that all South African schools should have sports practice every day. We would be happy to see that happening in schools. We believe that the department will give attention to all the points that have been raised during the debate today. There is a lot of talent in the rural areas.
In conclusion, I would like to bring the issue of retired sportsmen and women to the attention of the hon Minister. How can we help in improving their lives? How can we support them and make sure that they do not die poor?
The ANC supports the Budget Vote. Let us work together and support each other. [Interjections.] [Time expired.]]
