Have Your Say: South African Institute for Drug Free Sport Amendment Bill [B41-2023]

The Portfolio Committee on Sport, Arts and Culture invites all stakeholders and interested individuals to submit written comments on the South African Institute for Drug Free Sport Amendment Bill [B41- 2023]

The purpose of the Bill is to update and amend various provisions of the principal act in order to remedy the noncompliance and address the issues identified by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA); amend some of the provisos in some of the provisions of the principal Act so as to make those provisos to be separate provisions themselves concerning some of the matters provided for in the code and to make the principal act user friendly; and ensure that South Africa does not only have a statute that implements the code, but also a statute that is consistent with the code.

Any person or organisation wishing to submit written comments is at liberty to direct written submissions for attention: Ms. Zoleka Kula, the Committee Secretary via email: drugfreesportamendmentbill@parliament.gov.za by no later than 14 March 2024. In addition to written submissions, kindly indicate if you would like to make an oral submission. Ms. Kula can be reached on 083 707 2185 for enquiries. Copies of the Bill can be obtained from www.parliament.gov.za or requested from Ms. Kula telephonically.

All correspondence should be addressed to Ms. B N Dlulane, MP, Chairperson: Portfolio Committee on Sport, Arts and Culture and marked for the attention of Ms. Z Kula.
