PREMISE
  • 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

DIRECTORATES 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

5
DIRECTORATES 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

6
DIRECTORATES 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

FUNDING TRENDS OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS
  • BSRP projects 2001 2004
  • Total cost of BSRP project
  • MIG projects completed since 2004
  • Total cost
  • MIG Projects under construction
  • Total cost
  • Note, the amount seems to be significantly higher
    because most of the projects are stadia such as
    Orlando Stadium and are situated in bigger
    municipalities.

Formulation 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.

16
FINANCIAL 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

17
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIC PLAN
18
SPORT 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

19
SPORT 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

20
SPORT 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

21
SPORT 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

22
OTHER 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

23
NORMS 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

24
NORMS 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)

25
NORMS 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

26
PROPOSED MODEL FOR FACILITIES PROVISION
27
REGIONAL / DISTRICT SPORTS INSTITUTE MODEL
28
IMPLICATIONS 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

29
SHORT 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

SRSAS INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT
31
INSTITUTIONAL 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

32
MUNICIPAL 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

33
OPERATING 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

34
CONCLUSION
  • 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
