THE newly appointed Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) board met with Education, Sport, Arts and Culture minister Senator David Coltart yesterday where it was presented with its mandate for the three years that it will be in office.
Six principal policy objectives and goals for the incoming board were identified, chief among them, the Supreme Council for Sports in Africa Zone VI Youth Games which Zimbabwe will host next year. The other objectives include the Federation of International Hockey (FIH) Hockey World Series; an action plan for 2016 Olympics and Paralympics improvement of administration of national sports associations and government policy on strategic sports and the integration of sport to Zimbabwe’s education curriculum. In a statement yesterday, Coltart said the SRC board’s immediate task was to appoint the games’ local organising committee and the games’ chief executive officer as soon as possible.
