The Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) invested just over R1 000 000 into the promotion and development of sport in the Cape Winelands on Monday, 28 September 2020. The occasion was marked by a cheque handover ceremony held at the Perfumery in Franschhoek. With sport having already resumed (under protocols as per the regulations) around the country following the easing of lockdown restrictions, the money will be used to fund events, competitions and education. Dr Lyndon Bouah, Chief Director for Sport and Recreation at DCAS, spoke about how important sport is to society in terms of health and the economy. “If people do not participate in sport and recreation, they could become ill and could be a burden on the health system. So it’s important that we show that we have activity taking place,” Dr Bouah said during his speech. He also referred to the economic benefit of sport, mentioning that the Cape Town Cycle Tour brings R500 million into the Western Cape economy. This point was also raised by the executive mayor of the Cape Winelands District Municipality, Dr Elna von Schlicht. Cultural Affairs and Sport Minister Anroux Marais attended the event to hand over the cheques and deliver the keynote speech. “In a dismal national fiscal environment, adopting a whole-ofsociety approach inculcating collaborative effort
through sustainable partnerships is much needed to achieve our mutual goals to enable safe and connected communities,” Minister Marais said. “As the trusted partner of our sport and cultural stakeholders, those affecting dynamic change in behavioural trends at grassroots level are our most valued partners and we remain committed to empowering them and the various structures through innovative assistance and interventions as the need transpires. We are, therefore, happy to present R1 045 000 to the Cape Winelands District Sport Council to empower affiliated federations and clubs with funds needed to again administer, develop and host capacity-building workshops as we together safely move forward and forge our new normal in the sector.” The cheque handover – one of five in the province – was the culmination of a process during which DCAS considered various sports federations for funding.
