Chairperson, Boxing SA is in a state of meltdown and has been for some time. The portfolio committee agrees with me that Boxing SA, its board and its general administration are a disgrace and have been for years. To understand the extent of the problem I invite all members to visit Boxing SA's website. It consists of nothing more than a banner which reads, and I quote: "Suspended due to nonpayment".
The Department of Sport and Recreation is not a model of excellence either. It also received a qualified Auditor-General report this year. It is for the above-mentioned reasons that the DA will oppose the department's Budget Vote, and to pre-empt the hon Koos van der Merwe, we will also call for a division. Chairperson, I thank you.
