3PREMISE
- Participation in recreation and sport is a right
not a priviledge - The practice of physical education and sport is
a fundamental right for all. Article 1 of the
International Charter of Physical Education and
Sport (UNESCO, 1978) - As part of the commitments to promote healthy
lives and providing quality education, world
leaders at the United Nations Special Session on
Children in May 2002 agreed to - Promote physical, mental and emotional health
among children, including adolescents, through
play, sports recreation, artistic and cultural
expressions. - Provide accessible recreational and sports
opportunities and facilities at schools and
communities. (A World Fit for Children, 2002) - A child in Sport is a Child out of Court Late
Mr Steve Tswete, Minister of Sport and Recreation - Sport is a universal language that can bring
people together, no matter what their origin,
background, religious beliefs or economic
status. Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary-General - Noted Resolutions of the Africa International
Sports Convention, Dakar Senegal, February 2007
4DIRECTORATES GOALS
- To provide appropriate infrastructure in order to
advance sport and physical activity in
communities across the country while addressing
critical health challenges and strengthening
South African communities - To ensure that South Africans regardless of the
level at which they participate, have access to
quality sport and recreation facilities - To ensure that all human settlements have access
to sport and recreation facilities - To ensure that appropriate sport and recreation
facilities are constructed. Taking into
consideration issues such as accessibility,
sustainability, safety and user friendliness
5DIRECTORATES GOALS
- To ensure that sound spatial planning principles
as they impact on sport and recreation facilities
provision are adopted - To ensure that different types and categories of
sport and recreation facilities are clearly
defined - This includes parks, open spaces, playlots etc.
- To ensure formulation and or development of cost
effective and innovative ways of providing and or
constructing sport and recreation facilities
6DIRECTORATES GOALS
- To ensure introduction of new planning
approaches, creative design features and up to
date construction techniques into facility
development and rehabilitation of projects - To improve the quality of playing fields and
facilities
7FUNDING TRENDS OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS

15Formulation of the problem
- Based on the above recreation and sport
facilities are not adequately catered for though
MIG - In order to meet the target of eradicating the
R14 billion backlog by year 2013, there is a need
to invest R2.3 billion per year over the next six
year period.
16FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
- In order to meet our target a separate grant
needs to be made available for sport and
recreation facilities provision. - The grant would be allocated to the
municipalities based on the identified needs. - An amount of R2.3bn per year is required is
required in order to meet the 2013 target
17IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIC PLAN
18SPORT AND RECREATION FACILITIES SURVEYS AND AUDITS
- 3000 sport and recreation facilities units
identified through the audit in municipalities - Education Management Information System reveals
that there are 56 000 sport and recreation
facilities units in schools - This caters for 5-19 age cohort
- Concentrated in advantaged areas (urban)
- In disadvantaged areas exists low level 4 (scrape
facilities) - R1.5bn to R2bn required to rehabilitate exist
stock - R10bn over 5 years to provide new infrastructure
to satisfy full level of service (level 2 and 3
indoor and outdoor facilities with adequate
services such as ablutions and lighting) - To cater for inclusive 5-34 age cohort (including
20-34 cohort not neglecting the cohort above 34) - There is minimal need for level 1 facilities
19SPORT AND RECREATION FACILITIES SURVEYS AND AUDITS
- 117 of 231 municipalities vsurveyed
- 58 of municipalities surveyed indicated a way to
determine need but used a structure measure - 30 of municipalities surveyed have facilities
open to any user, no booking, no control. - 36 do not charge for use
- 55 have leases ranging in length from 3-99 years
- New leases generally 9 years and 11 months
- Leased facilities found to be better maintained
than unleased
20SPORT AND RECREATION FACILITIES SURVEYS AND AUDITS
- An assessment of the BSRP projects (17 projects
sample) revealed that - 44 of facilities were poorly maintained
- Lack of finance and human skilled human resources
were primary reasons cited - Another reason was that in 50 of the cases the
Implementing Agent was the District Municipality
and there was no proper planning for OM and
handover to Local Municipalities
21SPORT AND RECREATION FACILITIES SURVEYS AND AUDITS
- 75 of the facilities were reported to be poorly
utilized - Poor location of the facility in relation to the
community and lack of sports promotion
programmes were cited reason for non utilization - In line with the poor utilization 62 of
facilities were reported to be poorly managed
22OTHER DATA SOURCES
- SRSA Internal Data Validation Survey
- Data gathered from municipalities and sports
federations on existing and required facilities - Department of Public Works Utilization and
Contracts Unit - State Properties
- Surveyor-General
- Project Gijima State Land Audit to be completed
in March 2008
23NORMS AND STANDARDS
- Final draft has been presented for assessment by
the unit - The norms and standards sets the minimum
standards for provision and management of sport
and recreation facilities - Sets minimum spatial planning requirement in line
with national framework and best practices in
town planning
24NORMS AND STANDARDS
- Develop design guide to help local authorities to
provide quality sports and recreation facilities. - Formulate procedure for development and
construction of sport and recreation facilities - This sets a step by step guide and requirements
for the process of constructing a sport and
recreation facility. (For example, needs
assessment, feasibility study, a declaration
which specifies the intended use of the facility,
technical report outlining the way the facility
is going to function, construction plan of the
facility including topography of the area,
architectural study and a comprehensive technical
report on the construction materials and works
with special focus on method of construction. - Develop sport and recreation facilities
information management protocols and guidelines. - Develop facilities maintenance and operating
guidelines and protocols (life cycle maintenance
system)
25NORMS AND STANDARDS
- Develop appropriate estimated unit costs or
indicative costs for each facility type taking
into account the limitations due to such factors
as geographic location of the project etc. - Develop guidelines for estimating
- Planning and feasibility costs
- Capital project implementation costs
- Operating and maintenance costs over at least ten
(10) years post project completion
26PROPOSED MODEL FOR FACILITIES PROVISION
27REGIONAL / DISTRICT SPORTS INSTITUTE MODEL
28IMPLICATIONS OF THE MODEL
- Focus on rehabilitating and converting State
Owned Properties not being used - Where none exists construct new Institutes
- State funding institutions such as the National
Lotteries Board Distribution Trust Funds to
allocate funds based on national priorities - Establish a Public Private Partnership programme
to supplement Government resources - Commence on a small scale (pilot form) to assess
feasibility thereof - Whilst providing recreational facilities mass
participation an athlete acceleration programme
needs to be developed in conjunction with the key
stakeholders - Sustainable ward based leagues need to be
established taking into consideration existing
competitions at local, provincial and national
levels (Mayors Cups, Local Government Games etc) - A pool of qualified talent scouts needs to be
established and deployed throughout the country
identify talented athletes for inclusion in the
Districts Sports Institutes Programmes
29SHORT TO MEDIUM TERM IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
(FUNDS ALLOCATD TO SRSA)
- 81 projects currently under construction need to
be completed at cost of R678 119 530.65 - 30 projects on design and tender need to be
implemented at a cost of R93 615 346.58 - 47 projects planned and registered with DPLG need
to be implemented at a cost of R133 370 973 - Implementation of the new projects based on needs
as identified by the municipalities and
federations - Further community consultation before final
approval - Primary focus on rural areas and ISRDP and URP
- Integrate with other SRSA programmes
- Focus on rehabilitation first. As new projects
require longer planning period such to cater for
statutory requirements such as EIA and DFA
provisions
30SRSAS INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT
31INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY OF PROVINCES
INSTITUTION NO OF DEDICATED FACILITIES EMPLOYEES COMMENTS
EC 2 Coordinate other programmes either
FS 1 Coordinate other programmes
GP 0 1 resigned in December. Not replaced
KZN 3 All based at Head Office.
LP 1 Also work on other programmes.
MP 3 Coordinate other programmes
NC 1 Dedicated coordinator.
NW 0 1 retired in December. Not replaced.
WC 3 Coordinate other programmes
32MUNICIPAL INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND CAPACITY
- Most municipalities do not have Dedicated Sport
and Recreation Sections - Although even some smaller municipalities are
beginning to have these units, there is a need to
establish them in all the municipalities - This can be joint financial responsibility
between National, Provincial and Local Government - Those that do have dedicated section need to
properly align the functions of facility
management and maintanance
33OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE OF FACILITIES
- New projects
- No allocation for capital budget without a two
year facility operating and maintenance plan and
budget - Establishment of dedicated sport and recreation
facilities units to take care of all the
operating and maintenance requirements of the
facility - Shift from caretaker based system to Facility
Manager with a caretaker and programme management
responsibilities - For example instead of a lifeguard train the life
guard to offer learn to swim classed for children - To minimize maintenance costs explore use of
other low maintenance technologies such as
artificial turfs based on the cost benefit
analysis which the unit has done
34CONCLUSION
- It is clear that there is a need to build
capacity at all level (National, Provincial and
Local Government) - With cooperation and proper coordination of
efforts by all stakeholders has a potential of
improving on the provision and management of
sport and recreation facilities - Sport and recreation facilities remains a means
to an end which is promotion of participation in
sport and recreation, advancing and nurturing the
identified talented South Africans
