On
25 April 2016 Mr Fikile Mbalula announced that he was going to punish
four of South Africa's National Federations for lack of
transformation. See: http://www.timeslive.co.za/sport/other/2016/04/25/Mbalula-punishes-sporting-federations-for-lack-of-transformation
But can he do that?
Does any legislation currently enacted in South Africa give him such powers?

Did
a single journalist investigate
with which legal powers he is acting
with his dramatic announcement on 25
April 2016?
Is it that the Sports Minister, like the rest of the government, just doesn't give a damn about the Constitution?

It
would be nice if for once if journalists
did their homework and asked the relevant questions.
One wonders how he can forbid these National federations from hosting events when the Minister has not yet issued Regulations for such in terms of section 14(jC) of the National Sport and Recreation Act?
The truth is that he can't 'ban' an event, he can just pull government support .
