Ntate Ntombela, ke nahana hore o nlebetse.
English:
Hon Minister, there are three factors that cause further alienation of women in society and it is man hypocrisy, chauvinism and patriarchy. Until man denounce all of these tendencies that would be the day that women shall realise their liberation and freedom. Sporting currently is a very sensitive matter. When are you going to invest in women in sports especially sport at high school and primary levels and ensure that women just like men compete on an equal basis? It is only when women are able to outshine men that we shall sure that liberation of women is possible. Investment on women sports is of paramount importance.
The MINISTER OF SPORT, ARTS AND CULTURE: Hon member, I cannot agree more with you hon member and that gives me comfort and
hope that it means in future you are one of the people who are going to support the budget vote, particularly as it comes to sport. [Laughter.] Without that support from you we are not going to address the fundamental questions which you raised here. Thank you very much.
Question 91:
The MINISTER OF SPORT, ARTS AND CULTURE: Thank you hon Malomane, the broadcast of sports events is regulated by Sport Broadcasting Services Regulations. In December 2018, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa, Icasa, published the draft Sport Broadcasting Services Regulations to amend broadcast services regulation of 2010. In order to ensure a long-term sustainable broadcast solution regarding sport broadcast rights, Icasa in consultation with the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies conducted public hearings so that it can undertake amendments to the Sport Broadcasting Services Regulations of 2010 and concluded the public hearings process in May 2019.
The process of further consultation analysing and finalising the input is still in progress as provided by the Act. The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa will communicate with the two Ministries, the Ministry of Sport, Arts and Culture and the Ministry of Communications and Digital Technologies prior to publishing the final regulations. Thank you, Chair.
