CHAIRMAN
AND CEO’S
INTRODUCTION

Judge Lex Mpati Khalid Galant
Chairman CEO

The enclosed annual report is a summary presentation of our performance over the
2019/20 financial year. We are pleased that SAIDS has delivered an unqualified audit
report on our financial and performance management.

In the anti-doping environment, the 2019 year was a busier than normal year, as we prepared our testing and
education programs to meet the demands of the build-up to the anticipated 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
In addition, we concluded our final reviews on the revised World Anti-Doping Code and prepared for the
global gathering to adopt the Code at WADA’s World Conference Against Doping Sport in November 2019
in Poland. The revised Code further entrenched compliance obligations and the importance for anti-doping
organisations, such as SAIDS, to have good governance and accountable operating frameworks in place.
In order to meet these compliance obligations and to project a high level of confidence in our work, SAIDS
implemented a combined assurance model where we are independently audited by our Internal Auditors
SAB&T on our adherence to our internal policies and procedures, the Auditor General on financial and
performance management, Bureau Veritas on our ISO 9001 adherence and WADA on our Code compliance.

While considerable time and resources were spent on compliance matters in 2019, the high number of doping
cases, especially high-profile cases, continue to drain our financial resources. The SAIDS Board approved ring-
fencing a stipulated amount of funds to start building a legal defense fund to reduce the risk exposure of the
organization.

As the financial year drew to a close in March 2020, we could not have anticipated the repercussions of an
international shutdown of global sport due to the Corona virus pandemic. We ceased all operations and
closed the office, as a precautionary measure, a week before the national lockdown was announced. SAIDS
has been affected by the virus through illness and deaths during this period.

Our risk mitigation plan assisted in navigating the “unchartered waters” of the pandemic and updating the
plan will further assist us in directing operations over the next year. We have innovated our testing procedures
and education program in order to continue to meet our obligations of protecting clean sport in the country.
We also trust that sport will innovate its offerings to athletes and strengthen the values of clean sport in a
Post-Covid world.

STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

VISION

To be the custodian of anti-doping matters and ethics in sport in South Africa and to actively collaborate with
our African Sports colleagues in protecting clean sport.

MISSION

The mission of SAIDS as defined by the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport Act No. 14 of 1997 as
amended, dated 23 May 1997, is: “To promote the participation in sport free from the use of prohibited
substances or methods intended to artificially enhance performance.”

VALUES

In implementing its mission and vision competently and efficiently, the South African Institute for Drug-Free
Sport will be guided by the following corporate values:

a) Accountability: We comply with government mandates with respect to the SAIDS Act, World Anti-Doping
Code (the Code), UNESCO Convention against Doping in Sport, Public Finance Management Act (PFMA)
and any other applicable Treasury regulations;

b) Independence: We are independent in the implementation of our mandate and systems. The agency is
not affiliated or accountable to any national sports body/entity. The Executive Authority of SAIDS is the
Minister of Sport. The agency will jealously guard its independence and will guard against being swayed or
influenced by political players in sport.

c) Transparency: We disclose and publish our financial performance, doping control statistics and all cases
where athletes have been charged with doping offenses.

d) Integrity: Our staff and representatives of SAIDS are expected to conduct themselves in an impeccably
professional manner. Their behaviour must always be consistent with SAIDS’s professional mandate to be
a custodian of ethics in sport.

e) Excellence: We embrace ongoing learning and continual process improvements that govern our business.

f) Ethical Leadership: Anti-doping is about ethics in sport. We view ourselves as the custodians of ethics in
sport.

g) Applied Fairness: We subscribe to administrative and procedural fairness and justice as outlined in our
National Anti-Doping Rules

LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER MANDATES

SAIDS ACT

The South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport was created through an act of Parliament (SA Institute for
Drug-Free Sport Act, Act No 14, 1997). The agency is funded by The Department of Sports, Arts and Culture.
Section 3 (1) of the SAIDS Act provides for a Chairperson and a Board to be appointed by the Minister and
they will hold office for a period of five years. A Chief Executive Officer will be appointed by the Board and by
virtue of his/her office will also serve on it. Staff are appointed by the CEO.

PUBLIC FINANCE MANAGEMENT ACT

The Board is responsible for developing the policies of the Agency and is the Accounting Authority in terms
of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). The Minister of Sport and Recreation appoints all Board
members. The Board of SAIDS reports to and is directly accountable to the Minister. The Minister and the
Department take a close and active interest in the activities of the Institute and SAIDS enjoys their support
and co-operation. Parliament through its Portfolio Committee on Sport provides oversight on the financial
expenditure and performance of SAIDS.

SAIDS ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 7

NATIONAL SPORTS AND RECREATION PLAN (NSRP)

The NSRP is a plan that gives effect to the national policy framework around sports and recreation in the
country. Anti-doping is a fundamental pillar of support to the NSRP in ensuring clean sport and protecting
clean athletes.

UNESCO CONVENTION AGAINST DOPING IN SPORT

The Convention Against Doping in Sport is an agreement that national governments sign and agree to its
terms. The South African government is a signatory to the Convention. SAIDS is the implementing agency on
behalf of the South African government that ensures compliance to the Convention.

WORLD ANTI-DOPING CODE (THE CODE)

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) administers the Code and is charged with ensuring compliance to its
standards and guidelines. Compliance with the Code ensures a harmonised approach to anti-doping practices
across the globe. SAIDS is the custodian of the Code in South Africa and implements the standards and
guidelines that underpin the Code. Non-compliance with the Code will result in South African athletes being
excluded from participating in international competitions such as the Olympic Games, World Cups and World
Championships. There have been no changes to SAIDS legislative mandate. However for the implementation
period of this plan there are substantive policy changes that will have an effect on delivery of doping control
services:
• All international anti-doping agencies, such as SAIDS, will be subjected to independent Code Compliance

Audits by the World Anti-doping Agency.
o SAIDS was audited by WADA in 2018. All corrective actions from the audit have been implemented.
• The UNESCO Convention Against Doping in Sport to which South Africa is a signatory will monitor

compliance against the Conventions and implement consequences for non-compliant signatories.
• The revised World Anti-Doping Code was adopted in November 2019 at the World Conference on Doping

in Sport.
• SAIDS will have one year (2020) to review and amend policies and procedures to comply with the Code.

PERFORMANCE

13SAIDS ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20

AUDITOR’S REPORT:

PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES

The AGSA/Auditor-General of South Africa currently performs the necessary audit procedures on the
performance information to provide reasonable assurance in the form of an audit conclusion. The audit
conclusion on the performance against predetermined objectives is included in the report to management,
with material findings being reported under the Predetermined Objectives heading in the Report on other
legal and regulatory requirements section of the auditor’s report.

Refer to page 61 to 65 for the Auditors Report.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

SAIDS operates as an independent public entity in sport with jurisdiction over all sports codes and entities
that are recognised by SASCOC and/or are individual signatories to the World Anti-Doping Code. The
effectiveness of anti-doping in the sports environment predominantly rests on the implementation of a test
distribution plan that is based on doping risk and where sports codes are divided into high-, medium- and
low-risk categories. These categories permit the efficient allocation of anti-doping services to sports codes so
that these are used to mitigate doping risks. The performance environment of SAIDS is also influenced by the
independent WADA accredited laboratory in South Africa, the SA Doping Control Laboratory in Bloemfontein

In the sport environment, doping control samples can only be analysed within a global network of accredited
laboratories. When the accreditation of the Bloemfontein laboratory is under threat, suspended or revoked,
SAIDS still has to fulfil its mandate and is required to send its samples to another accredited international
laboratory. The transfer of samples to another laboratory is influenced by international foreign exchange
rates and international courier costs. For the year under review, the WADA accreditation of the Bloemfontein
laboratory was suspended. The laboratory suspension required us to use our backup accredited laboratories
overseas. Testing costs increased predominantly due to a weak South African currency and increased courier
costs. Exacerbating expenses further was that the suspension occurred in an Olympic year and that South
Africa fielded one of the largest and strongest teams to the Olympics. Testing of Team SA in the lead up to
the Olympics could therefore not be reduced. Further austerity measures and project cuts were implemented
to meet our testing obligations.

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

SAIDS operates as an independent public entity in sport with jurisdiction over all sports codes and entities that
are recognised by SASCOC and/or are individual signatories to the World Anti-Doping Code. The effectiveness
of anti-doping in the sports environment predominantly rests on the implementation of a Code compliant
Test Distribution Plan (TDP) that is based on doping risk factors. The TDP classifies sports codes into high,
medium and low- risk categories. These categories permit the efficient allocation of anti-doping services to
sports codes. The performance environment of SAIDS is also influenced by the operational efficiency of the
independent WADA accredited laboratory in South Africa, the SA Doping Control Laboratory in Bloemfontein.

In the sport environment, doping control samples can only be analysed within a global network of accredited
laboratories. When the accreditation of the Bloemfontein laboratory is under threat, suspended or revoked,
SAIDS still has to fulfill its mandate and is required to send its samples to another accredited international
laboratory. The costs associated with the transfer of samples to another laboratory are influenced by
fluctuations in international foreign exchange rates and international courier costs.

SAIDS operates in an onerous international and compliance environment. Internationally, the compliance of
SAIDS to the World Anti-Doping Code and the UNESCO Convention has a bearing on the country’s rights to

14 SAIDS ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20

host international sports competitions and on the participation rights of South African athletes to compete
in international events, including such as the Olympic Games. In order to maintain a high level of Code
compliance, all operational procedures conform to the ISO 9001 standard for quality assurance.

INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

The organisational diagram of SAIDS (see annexure): SAIDS is a public entity that is accountable for its
expenditure to the Minister of Sport. The Board of Directors (non-executive) are appointed by the Minister of
Sport. The Board is responsible for developing the strategic vision and policies of the organisation. In addition,
the Board provides oversight over the management of the agency.
The Board appoints the chief executive officer (CEO) to implement the policies of the organisation. The CEO
recruits and appoints management and operational staff to ensure the efficient running of the day-to-day
operations. The organization operational units or Programmes consists of:
• Progamme 1: Finance, Compliance and Administration
• Programme 2: Doping Control and Investigations
• Programme 3: Results Management
• Programme 4: Education and Research
• Programme 5: National and International Collaboration
Various operational commissions (part-time) are appointed by the CEO to comply with the various international
standards that govern anti-doping authorities. Internal Challenges
The entity earmarked the adoption of a paperless system to improve efficiency and change the productivity
efforts of staff. The adoption has been delayed due to cuts in the governments grant. Further cuts in the
government grant over the medium terms also affects the ability to fill vacant staff positions. SAIDS has
leveraged internships and learnership as temporary staffing solutions. These temporary solutions limit our
ability to strengthen institutional capacity and to invest in training.

KEY POLICY DEVELOPMENTS AND LEGISLATIVE CHANGES

There have been no changes to SAIDS legislative mandate. However for the implementation period of this
plan there are substantive policy changes that will have an effect on delivery of doping control services:
• All international anti-doping agencies, such as SAIDS, will be subjected to independent Code Compliance

Audits by the World Anti-doping Agency.
o SAIDS was audited by WADA in 2018. All corrective actions from the audit have been implemented.
• The UNESCO Convention Against Doping in Sport to which South Africa is a signatory will monitor

compliance against the Conventions and implement consequences for non-compliant signatories.
• The revised World Anti-Doping Code was adopted in November 2019 at the World Conference on Doping

in Sport
• SAIDS will have one year (2020) to review and amend policies and procedures to comply with the Code.
• The revised World Anti-Doping Code will come into force in 2021 and include the new and revised

international standards that Agencies have to comply to. These international standards are:
o International Standard for Athlete Passport Management Units comes into force 1 January 2020.
o International Standard for Testing and Investigations comes into force 1 January 2021.
o International Standard for Results Management comes into force 1 January 2021.
o International Standard for Education comes into force 1 January 2021.

was primarily moved to athletes who are very high risk based on our doping
risk profile, intel related information and suspicious ABP profiles. Furthermore
testing was suspended on 15th March 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak and
consequent national lockdown.

6 Additional EPO tests were scheduled after the ABP profiles were reviewed and
were considered suspicious. Furthermore additional EPO analysis was requested
due to intel information received on athletes post the samples being collected.

The 120 athletes in the RTP is a minimum. We normally plan to include more than
the 120 athletes based on the reasons below. It is difficult to keep it exactly at
120 because it may mean that you will include or remove an athlete simply based
on a number rather than the SAIDS Risk Assessment, which is the primary basis
on which we develop the RTP. Athletes are removed and included in the RTP at
various times throughout the year due to a following reasons:

- He/she is moved to the International Federation (IF) RTP and he/she must
be removed from the SAIDS RTP as the World Anti-Doping Code states that an
1 athlete must only provide whereabouts to one organisation, which athletes in
the RTP do.

- He/she is removed from the IF RTP and included in our RTP because his/her
performance may not be at the level for international ranking but may be at a
level for national ranking.

- Performance or lack of performance of athletes.

- Retirement of athletes.

- Intelligence information related to an athlete.

STRATEGY TO OVERCOME AREAS OF UNDERPERFORMANCE:

The shutdown of sport both in South Africa and globally during the fourth quarter (January to March 2020)
affected the performance delivering on some indicators. Notably, we had already met our annual performance
indicators on doping control testing (urine) largely due to a robust testing strategy targeted to potential 2020
Olympic qualifiers. Although we suffered significant revenue losses in the fourth quarter, overall revenue
exceeded targets due to the higher number of requests from international sports federations to test their
athletes training in South Africa in the lead up to the Olympic Games.

There were no significant underperformance on indicators during the reporting period.

CHANGES TO PLANNED TARGETS

No changes in performance indicators were made during the year.

As evidenced in the table above, the biggest pressure centre in terms of expenditure for the 2019/20 financial
is the Doping Control department. The reason for this is that 2019/20 was the year leading up to to the 2020
Tokyo Olympics. International Sports Federation are more aggressive in testing potential Olympic qualifiers
at the various training locations. South Africa is a popular training for elite athletes. As SAIDS is the only
accredited anti-doping agency in South Africa, the Sports Federations look to us for their testing needs
for their athletes who train in South Africa. South Africa athletes are also tested by SAIDS prior to Olympic
qualification/participation. Testing in SA is combined with anti-doping education that is provided to the
athletes. SAIDs was fortunate to have had ad hoc funding from the National Lotteries Commission on hand to
assist in funding the many different Anti-doping Initiative the entity’s education Department ran throughout
the year.

REVENUE COLLECTION

SAIDS exceeded its revenue collection by 5.43% over the projection. Aside from the grant received from the
Department of Sports, Arts and Culture and the ad hoc funding from the grants with the National Lotteries
Commission, the revenue is predominantly made of testing sales revenue. In the lead up to an Olympic year
(2020 Tokyo Olympics), International Sports Federations are more aggressive in testing potential Olympic
qualifiers at the various training locations. South Africa is a popular training destination for elite athletes and
SAIDS received a higher amount of requests to test these athletes.

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE

The Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) provides oversight over the risk management policy and provide status
reports to the Board on any emerging risks. The Entity’s internal audit portfolio holds the responsibility of
implementing a three-year rolling risk mitigation plan. Internal audit services are outsourced to SAB&T. They

FRAUD AND CORRUPTION

In March 2017 an athlete was charged with an Anti-Doping Rule Violation through attempting to induce or
entice the Doping Control Officer to cancel the test. The charge was in compliance with Article 2.5 of the SA
Anti-Doping Rules.
The written decision of the Independent Tribunal Panel instructed SAIDS to report the case to the South
African Police Services (SAPS), in terms of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act. The case
was registered at the Brooklyn Police Station Pretoria (CA5213/8/2017). The Athlete was given the maximum
four- year sanction for each offence and the panel ruled that they should run consecutively – an eight-
year ban.
There is no fraud and corruption identified and reported for the year

REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE

We are pleased to present the Audit Committee Report for the South African Institute for Drug Free Sport for
the financial year ended 31 March 2020.

AUDIT COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND ATTENDANCE:

The Audit Committee consists of four independent persons together with a non-executive member of the
Board. All members of the Audit Committee have the required expertise and experience in accounting,
auditing, legal compliance, business and financial matters. The Committee meets quarterly and has met four
times during the year to 31 March 2020 and twice subsequently, in accordance with its approved terms of
reference.

Representatives of the Auditor-General and internal audit have attended or were invited to all Audit Committee
meetings.

AUDIT COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITY

The Audit Committee reports that it has complied with its responsibilities arising from sections 51(1)(a)(ii) and
76(4)(d) of the Public Finance Management Act (“PFMA”) and Treasury Regulation 27.

The Committee further reports that it has adopted appropriate formal terms of reference as its Audit Committee
Charter and has regulated its affairs and discharged its responsibilities in compliance with this charter.

INTERNAL AUDIT

Internal audit has continued to focus on key strategic and operational risk areas and to enhance control
routines where the Institute’s activities could be impacted by fraud or deliberate ethical and confidentiality
breaches.

As the contract for internal audit services had expired, a fresh procurement exercise was conducted in
December 2019 to ensure that a new service contract was awarded in a fair, equitable and transparent manner,
in accordance with the Institute’s supply chain management policy and all relevant statutory prescripts.
The Audit Committee participated in this process and supported the recommendation submitted for Board
approval in making this appointment.

MONTHLY AND QUARTERLY REPORTING

The Institute has reported monthly and quarterly to its Executive Authority and to National Treasury on its
financial and operational performance, in compliance with its statutory responsibilities. These reports and
their content are regularly scrutinised and discussed by both the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

The Auditor-General has highlighted various areas where the Institute’s supply chain management policy and
practices need to be enhanced or updated, and Audit Committee will ensure that this is done on an annual

32 SAIDS ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20

basis. Whereas in assessing tax compliance the entity has relied on tax clearance certificates issued by the
S.A. Revenue Service, comparative reference will also be made to National Treasury’s Central Supplier
Database. The vetting of procurement from foreign suppliers will also be strengthened, with local supply
sources being considered where appropriate.

IRREGULAR EXPENDITURE

Management and the Board can be commended for their efforts in striving to prevent irregular or unauthorised
expenditure, and also to avoid fruitless and wasteful expenditure. The various non-compliance findings raised
by the Auditor-General are primarily of an administrative nature or due to differences in interpretation, are
not material, and will be resolved with enhanced supply chain management practices and policy revisions so
as to prevent recurrence.

THE APPLICATION OF GOOD ACCOUNTING PRACTICES AND DISCLOSURES

The Auditor-General pinpointed various instances where accounting presentation and disclosure in the annual
financial statements lacked precision. Management needs to make a greater effort in being 100% accurate
in the application of good accounting principles, if it wishes to achieve a smooth and unqualified audit. The
correction of these errors has enhanced the quality and compliance accuracy of the Institute’s financial
statements and the Auditor-General’s technical support in this area is much appreciated.

AUDIT REVIEW OF PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES

In a limited assurance review, the Auditor-General has confirmed the quality, usefulness and reliability of
performance management reporting which continues to be of a good standard.

CONSEQUENCE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES

Discussion with the Auditor-General regarding an audit matter arising from the previous year has highlighted
the need to formalise consequence management procedures, to ensure that the entity fulfills its statutory
obligations and has demonstrably taken whatever further remedial or other actions may be required.

UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGES DURING NATIONAL LOCKDOWN

We can especially commend the steps taken by management and the Board to respond to and contain the
threats and disruptions posed by Covid-19 and the National Lockdown. We share in condolences expressed
to the family of a doping control officer who succumbed to this unprecedented virus.

EVALUATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited annual financial statements and performance
report to be included in the annual report with the Auditor-General, with the Chief Executive Officer and with
the Board of Directors as the Institute’s accounting authority.

AUDITOR-GENERAL’S REPORT

The Audit Committee has reviewed the Auditor-General’s management report on the findings of the
2020external audit and management’s responses, and has reviewed all changes in accounting policies and
practices.

The Committee has noted and reviewed the Auditor-General’s assessment of the usefulness and reliability of
performance information examined.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the Auditor-General’s independence and objectivity, has considered the
Auditor-General’s opinion on the annual financial statements, annual performance report and other legal and
regulatory matters, and is of the view that the audited annual financial statements and performance report
can be accepted and read together with the Auditor-General’s report.
