| dc.description.abstract | It is my intention to research the transformation of sport 10 WPCA with particular reference to the role sport can play as catalyst to reconstruction and development, national reconciliation, nation building, community empowerment, democratic participation, politics and administration reform, transformation economics and resource allocation and management.
Furthermore, wish to show that transformation in sport can only be successful if and only if, there is transformation of public policy that would ensure that this transformation would take place. Moreover, for this transformation in public policy to be successful, appropriate measures have to be put in place, which would ensure that the proper management and training needed for the successful implementation of new public policy is in place. In addition that it is not sufficient to transform sport among race groups alone, there should be blatant transformation among gender groups as well, from players to top management. In other words there should not only be a greater presence of male in sports (amateur and professional). but also a greater presence of female "sportspersons" in the entire sports hierarchy.
The focus of my research will pay special attention to the transformation tn sports, particularly at a local level. This study attempt to show how national and regional policies have been implemented and the effect they have in transforming sports at local level using the Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA) as a case study to show how much or how little transformation has taken place at an institutional level as well as cricket at a local level. Whether transformation has taken place at all will also be investigated.
In conclusion, from the results achieved, make some policy proposals as to how the transformation process can be bettered and how this can positively affect growth in South Africa and particularly the WPCA. | en_US |
