Background
The National Sport Council (NSC) was launch in 1990 in Langa.
In the main the body served as an alternative to the then South
African Council on Sport (SACOS).
The NSC was founded by the African National Congress (ANC)
and used as a vehicle to bring about change in South Africa.
The South African Sports Commissions (SASC) Act no. 109 of
1998 effected the demise of the NSC and ushered in the SASC.
All sub structures seized to exist, which included the Provincial
and Regional Sport Councils.
Sport Councils continued to function in the Western Cape.
During 2007, the Mec, called into being a task team to look at
rules of engagement as many complaints were received about
role confusion.
SASCOC as a national sport coordinating body came into being
in 2005 and replaced the SASC. Federations affiliate to the
SASCOC.
