Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

Whether (a) his department and/or (b) entities reporting to him procured services from a certain company (Travel with Flair); if so, (i) what services were procured in each case and (ii) what is the total amount that was paid to the specified company in each case; (2) whether the specified company provided services related to international travel to (a) his department and/or (b) entities reporting to him; if so, (i) what is the name of each person who travelled, (ii) what was the travel route and (iii) what is the total amount that was paid for each person accompanying him?

Reply:

(1)(a)The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development had, through a competitive bidding process, appointed the Travel Management Company (TMC) named Travel with Flair to provide travelling and related services.

(i)The following link table depicts service volumes that were processed by the TMC on behalf of the Department for the period April 2016 to March 2017:

(ii)The total value of services paid to various hospitality industry players through Travel with Flair was R202 826 036. It should be noted that the National Treasury negotiated and implemented rates with all TMCs. The Department is therefore strictly in compliance with the National Treasury guideline on rates and charges applicable to the travel management industry.

2 (a) Yes, the specified company did provide services related to international travel.

(i)(ii) and (iii)The attached Excel spreadsheet contains the names of the officials who travelled, the route details and the amounts paid for each person.

Response from the National Prosecuting Authority:

1. The NPA had a contract with Travel with Flair (TWF) during the period May 2009 to November 2011. In this regard,

(i) The NPA procured travel management services (air flights, accommodation, car rental and shuttle services)

(ii) The total amount paid to TWF during the contract period was R 78 375 960.52, detailed as follows:

R 34 915 174,72 – 2009/10 financial year;

R 27 517 371.09 – 2010/11 financial year;

R 15 943 414,71 – 2011/12 financial year

2. The Service Level Agreement entered into with TWF included services related to international travel.

 (i) The total amounts paid to TWF during the contract period for international travel on behalf of NPA officials amounts to R 5 323 373.65, detailed as follows:

R 2 577 591,87 – 2009/10 financial year;

R 1 499 002.88 – 2010/11 financial year;

R 1 246 778.90 – 2011/12 financial year

I have been informed by the National Prosecuting Authority that due to the fact that the contract expired more than five (5) years ago, the level of detailed breakdown required in the question would require an extended effort and time to find in the archived records.

Response from the Office of the Chief Justice

The Office of the Chief Justice did not procure any services from Travel With Flair (Pty) Ltd, therefore, the above questions are not applicable in this regard.
