(Internal Question Paper No 29 - 2010)

Mr T D Lee (DA) to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:

Whether he has found that Netball SA's application of the quota system in team selection is in accordance with his department's policy? If not, why not? If so, what are the relevant details?

REPLY

Netball's target system is in accordance with the equity and transformation objectives of the Department. The system encourages development, equality, transformation and inclussivity.

Netball SA's priority is to transform, develop and promote equality in Netball in the country and to ensure that all stakeholders are represented at National level, irrespective of their gender, race, religion, culture and economic background. This system requires teams to bring twelve players (5/7) of which 5 should be of colour. It should be noted that the "colour" aspect is determined by the demographics of the specific area.
