9. 8 Hubs Established 04/05 • R1 Million Grant

10. Targets Achieved in 04/05 • The target for Gauteng set was set at having four hubs as a start-up point. • Gauteng started the project with eight hubs as the province had three metros and three district councils. • Twenty volunteers were recruited and trained in several sporting codes across the country as the training component was centrally driven. • With no set outputs other then those which were developed for the grant framework

11. Successes – 04/05 • Twenty volunteers contracted • Eight hubs established with hub managers assigned to them. • Training of all twenty volunteers • Programmes kick started within the hubs. • A limited success achieved in trying to put together an audit of the community where hubs were established. • Securing the equipment for hubs late as the national attempt to fast track equipment through a tender had failed. • Participation figures:65,582 • Joining figures:38,938

12. Challenges – 04/05 • Equipment secured late • No clear roles for project from the start as several teething problems were experienced • Local authorities were hesitant to buy into the project at first. • Finances did not develop clear processes for the grant expenditure. • Tracking expenses were not managed suitably.

14. Targets Achieved • The project was launched in Mamelodi with participants from all hubs participating in the activities. • The recruitment of 70% of volunteers for the project. • Organization and participation in the Indigenous Games from hub level to National. • Securing of the equipment tender and the distribution of equipment to hubs. • The first of the holiday programmes were launched in December with Super sport as a partner in the event.

Successes • The Department SACR was revamped to include all staff at hub level from the various line functions. • The appointment of senior activity coordinators, Activity coordinators and trainee activity coordinators were appointed and moved to hubs. • The development of Service Level Agreements was put in place to facilitate office and storage space for staff at hubs. • Where no space was obtained in time equipment was store at old regional offices. • Participation figures:335597 and Joining figures70032

16. Challenges • Late approval of tender for equipment. • Resulted in poor spending patterns. • Departmental finance systems not geared up which led to the department only spending 90% of the conditional grant • R2,410 million spent - under expenditure of R260,000 • Late meetings with treasury did help to clear up some complexities around the grant and would have help to ask for role over facilities for the transfers to sports federations for training.
