Some selective paragraphs from the affidavit: PPA is the largest cycling organisation in South Africa with 18,433 members as at 13 March 2013. It was formed some 35 years ago following the first Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour ("the Cycle Tour") (commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as the ―Argus Cycle Tour‖). Its activities are restricted to the Western Cape. PPA‘s objective is to promote cycling in all its forms. PPA further acts as a representative and lobbying body for furthering the interests of cyclists, and was formed to liaise with and affiliate with similar organisations where appropriate. PPA has developed an extensive fun ride programme in the Western Cape, and has co-ordinated its events on an ongoing basis since 1976. These fun rides are timed, but do not award prize money. Most of the fun rides involve service organisations such as Lions and Rotary, and have also included schools wishing to raise funds through cycling events. PPA provides administrative, logistical and technical advice and support for these events.8 PPA‘s fun ride programme has been extremely successful over the years. No other cycling organisation in South Africa has developed equally successful cycling programmes or arranged mass participation cycling events comparable in scale to those that PPA and the Trust organise. Since 2009, PPA has invested approximately R8.8 million on deserving cycling projects and has also spent roughly R1,500,000 on development cycling. In addition, during 2011 PPA invested R2.1 million in its Safe Cycling Campaign. CSA, on the other hand, is a national sports body, affiliated to the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (―SASCOC‖). CSA‘s activities are focussed on the high-end of the sport, which includes awarding of national and provincial colours for cycling, and participation in international cycling events.
