The event attracted participants from seven regions of Gauteng North across different age groups. They participated in Aerobics and a 5 km Walk. Participants in sport and recreation promotion campaigns and events (300): participants were reached through the Move for Health event held in Hammanskraal, in Gauteng and through Ministerial Outreaches in the Western Cape (De Doorns and Gugulethu), and Gauteng (Eersterus). Mass Participation and Sport Development Conditional Grant quarterly reports submitted (1) - One report for the quarter detailing implementation of the DORA Grant was submitted to the National Treasury as required.

Efforts are underway to secure the outstanding number of beds. All required playing facilities (except swimming) have been reserved. Sport Focus Schools on the programme: There are 16 sport focus schools that SRSA has verified. These schools have all accepted to be part of the programme and are yet to sign MOU with SRSA. All MOUs will be signed in Q2 as per operational plan targets. All provinces but Northern Cape have a sport focus school. The province is working on addressing this challenge.

PROGRAMME 3: WINNING NATION There were 4 targets to be achieved by the programme with 1 achieved and 3 targets not achieved.

PROGRAMME 3: WINNING NATION Scientific Support Ministerial Bursary Support: A workshop was held with provincial Departments of Sport and of Education, parents and recipients of the bursary; and provincial academy managers to explain the Ministerial Bursary Programme and finalise the implementation plans for the support of the bursary recipients within the provinces. Athletes & coaches assisted by means of scientific support programmes (40): Not fully achieved. There are currently thirty-one athletes and coaches (29:2). As such, those are the only ones the Department could support in line with the aforesaid indicator. The programme is being wound down. As a result, there are no new intakes into the programme. Athletes supported through the Ministerial Sports Bursary Programme (40): Not fully achieved. As at June 2014, 15 athletes were supported. The Department was awaiting funds from Lottery.

PROGRAMME 3: WINNING NATION Drug-free support agencies supported (5): Not fully achieved. Although the Department estimated supporting 5 drug-free support agencies in quarter 1, this support is at times dependent on meetings called; events organized, and so forth. SRSA was therefore only able to support one organization. Support is ongoing and not tied to a specific quarter as it is dependent on for example, meetings organised, and paying of subscription fees. Major Events Major international events receiving intra-governmental support per year (1). Because of an additional event that had to be supported, a total of 2 international events (Indo Pacific Gymnastics Championship and ITU World Triathlon) were supported.

PROGRAMME 4: SPORT SUPPORT There were two targets to be achieved by the programme during the quarter under review. Both of them were achieved.

PROGRAMME 4: SPORT SUPPORT Sport and recreation bodies receiving financial support per year (2): Support was provided to Boxing SA and Netball SA.

OVERALL DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE There were 12 targets to be achieved by the Department during Quarter 1 of 2014/15. Nine targets were achieved and three (under Programme 3) were not achieved. This equals 75% achievement of the Quarter 1 targets.

CHALLENGE The main challenge – a welcome challenge, for the Department would be to maintain the standard of 2013/14 and ensure that we receive a clean audit for 2014/15 as well. The Department is however ready for this challenge; and appreciates the support of parliamentary structures such as the Portfolio Committee, towards the achievement (2013/14) and maintenance of the clean audit.
