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)

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

sport and recreation to transform and develop all
parts of the country and people equally.

 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.
• It is important to move beyond the mobilization
phase with more emphasis on developing and
nurturing new talent within a holistic development
continuum.
• SRSA needs to build a bridge between mass
participation and high performance that will
eventually also reflect a transformed society.
