SRSA PREAMBLE “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else can. Sport can awaken hope where there was previously only despair.” (N Mandela) Sport is recognised by the UN as a right which 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.

SRSA PREAMBLE cont In line with SA Constitutional imperatives SRSA has been assigned the powers to develop and implement national policies regarding sport and recreation in the country. In its strategic direction SRSA endeavours to fulfil its responsibility in such a way that it contributes to create “an inclusive society, a SA that belongs to all, a nation united in its diversity, a people working together for the greater good of all.” To succeed SRSA has the responsibility to use sport and recreation to transform and develop all parts of the country and people equally. Two public entities to assist SRSA (SAIDS+BSA). Strategic Plan in compliance with requirements and prescripts.

SRSA STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENT Introduction Since 2004/05 SRSA focussed on its main mandate to broaden the participation base of sport and recreation in SA. Commendable successes have been achieved supported by statistics – especially amongst the youth.

SRSA needs to build a bridge between mass participation and high performance that will eventually also reflect a transformed society.
