Cabinet has decided that South Africa will not bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games.
At a post-Cabinet media briefing, government spokesperson Jimmy Manyi said government has decided to rather focus on service delivery.
Cabinet calculated that the Olympic bid would have cost about R35-million.
It says service delivery should now be the priority.
Manyi lashed out at the media during the briefing.
After repeatedly refusing to answer questions about whether government supported Trevor Manuel for next leader of the International Monetary Fund, journalists told Manyi he need not have called a news conference at all.
Manyi said media briefings were necessary so that the blind and the deaf could also get information.
