Mr Moemi stated that the Department should continue to pursue initiatives that increased the number of participants in Sport and Recreation. The Department has to broaden its focus to the area of recreation and strengthen its relationship with the Department of Basic Education in the delivery of the school sports programme. He further indicated that the Department intends to increase the mass participation base through effective sports promotion programmes and intensive media campaigns. School sport remained the bedrock for mass participation and talent identification programmes which would help the Department to achieve its dual mandate of an active and winning nation. The biggest challenge was how would the talent identification programme be able to capture all talented individuals and ensure that they can be supported going forward.
