  despair. (N Mandela)

  all Governments should make available to their
  people.
• Worldwide sport strategies are focused on
  increasing levels of sport and recreation
  participation as well as achieving success in
  high profile sports.
• These strategic corner stones are also reflected
  in the SRSA vision.
