Minister of sport

As Minister of sport I would like to applaud your enthusiasm, your willingness to support and build the image of South African sport. Your commitment to results and your acknowledgement of achievements are noticed by the wider public and supporters of many a sport. I would like to have the opportunity to express my views

As a supporter the feeling in me is that in sport in general there are 3 major entities that make up a sports team and according to these criteria mentions and recommendations are based upon these people. Sport Administrators and the team managers and support team are seen as the backbone of success in sport. The players are the heart of the team and have to perform according to the laid down plans and projections as been laid down by the management team. The sponsors are there to feed money and power into the game.

In all committee or management positions you will find individuals of different professionals to tend to the day to day running of sport in South Africa. These people are allowed to comment or to question different aspects of problems within the professions. 9 times out of ten these professionals will get the opportunity to be listened to and this could affect outcome of decisions. Was there ever the scenario that the different supporter groups or just plain supporters being allowed in any decision making? Although small their contribution to sport does mean something. Imagine empty stadiums should supporters no longer support a sporting match.

We as supporters do mean something. So please don’t ignore us and allow us to be involved in decision making as well.
