Sport transformation to be enforced

Sport Minister Makhenkesi Stofile says an act of parliament to enforce sport transformation will be ready by the end of this year. He says the proposed act will urge South Africans to work together resolutely towards social unity and nation building. Stofile says he thinks the set of values used to manage most sport federations are not in line with the fundamental stipulations of Chapter One of the constitution. The chapter refers to – among other things - the rights, privileges and advantages of collective South African citizenship. Stofile reacted to a parliamentary question by Democratic Alliance MP Donald Lee about the government's intentions of implementing a transformation act on sport.
