Secretary-general of the department of Sports and Recreation Sumayya Khan told Rapport that the minister's intention is not to meddle with South Africa's sports codes.
"(The minister) is just seeking to establish a mechanism through which the department can maintain oversight, without getting mixed up in the day-to-day running of sports bodies." "
Given the IOC and ICC's attitudes towards this I imagine this will be watered down so much that it becomes pointless.
I also think that FIFA and WRC forbid this. If they followed through then South Africa will be banned from all sports. The ANC can't get money out of sports if they are not doing well and entering international competitions. Also look at all the publicity the ANC got from the Boks winning the World Cup. They will not want to jeopardise that.
