Hon Chairperson, I was saying to the House that I do not see anything wrong with the SA Sports Awards. In actual fact, with the SA Sports Awards we are given an opportunity as South Africans, and as a nation, to get to know some of our best sportspeople in the country. For example, most of us did not know Lucas Sithole. It was through the SA Sports Awards that a number of us happened to learn that there is an athlete like Lucas Sithole. [Applause.]
I want to begin by indicating that what I want to speak about here is funding for sport and recreation. We have heard the Minister with all the good stories and the achievements of the department and the ANC. Of course, we understand and want to accept that there would always be challenges along the way when we try to transform the legacy that was left us by apartheid. [Interjections.]
