Whether her department has been informed of the proposed housing development on portion 296 of the Zuurfontein farm 33 I.R. situated within the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Council boundary, where an endangered species of frog is an inhabitant; if so, what steps are being taken to protect the frog population?

No, the Department of Environmental Affairs has not been informed about the proposed housing development. However, the question should be referred to the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development as the competent authority to receive such an application.
