The South African Sports Confederation Olympic and Paralympic Committee has congratulated Patriotic Alliance leader, Gayton McKenzie, on his appointment as Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture.Shortly after his appointment, the Patriotic Alliance leader jokingly said he was going to declare spinning South Africa’s national sport. It was a sport associated with the gangster culture before it was officially recognised by Motorsport South Africa 10 years ago.
“For swimming it’s important for us that the new minister focus on the work that has already been on place in the ministry to focus on facilities as you know for our sport facilities are important and we’ve seen less and less public facilities being available for our sport,” Athletics South Africa president, James Moloi, says McKenzie will not be starting on a clean slate, but will have to continue with the solid foundation laid by some of his predecessors. But both federations agree, the revival of physical education in schools should also be a priority.
“That one is a key for us because the supply for the talent comes from the primary schools and high schools and I so wish that if he can push this thing of having competitions during the week maybe to have and allow the children to run during the week maybe once a week like normally during our time Wednesdays you still remember we used to run on Wednesdays.
