The Walter Sisulu University (WSU) has provided the following responses to the questions posed.

1. Staff Housing at WSU is allocated according to the Rules on Allocation of Accommodation:

(a) In the evaluation and allocation process for houses and/or flats, the Interim Staff Housing and Allocation Committee prioritises to the following staff members:

New appointees living in a hotel/B&B with a spouse or partner and children.
New appointees living in a hotel/B&B with a spouse or partner.
New appointees living in a hotel/B&B.
The following critical requirements or conditions of employment for:

Executive Management;
Exchange Lecturers;
Academic Staff; and
Scarce Skills Support Services Staff.

(b) Allocation of points according to Peromnes grades:

Grade 1 = 17 points
Grade 2 = 16 points
Grade 3 = 15 points
Grade 4 = 14 points
Grade 5 = 13 points
Grade 6 = 12 points
Grade 7 = 11 points
Grade 8 = 10 points
Grade 9 = 9 points
Grade 10 = 8 points
Grade 11 = 7 points
Grade 12 = 6 points
Grade 13 = 5 points
Grade 14 = 4 points
Grade 15 = 3 points
Grade 16 = 2 points
Grade 17 = 1 point

(c) Allocation of points according to the years of service, i.e. one point per completed year of service to a maximum of 10 years.

(d) Allocation of points for dependents:

(One point for a spouse living with the applicant staff member.
One point per minor child living with the applicant staff member to a maximum of four children.

(e) In the event of there being parity on points between two or more applicants of equal rank, then preference will be given to the applicant who has:

held his/her present grade longer; and/or
the greater number of children in their household.

2. (a) The ranks include Executive Management, Exchange Lecturers, Academic Staff and Scarce Skills Support Services Staff.

(b) Annexure A provides a list of all staff members accommodated at university-owned properties.

3. (a) (i) There are 41 houses and 139 flats in Mthatha, 1 flat in East London and 13 houses in Butterworth.

(ii) The list of staff members occupying various houses and flats is attached as Annexure A.

(b) (i) The average monthly rent for tax purposes is R2 500 per person and income tax is based on this amount.

(ii) The average monthly cost recovered from staff is R300 per unit per month. Housing units have prepaid electricity meters and the individuals occupying the units pay for electricity themselves.

4. (a) Each staff member pays rental costs and in most properties, they pay electricity costs.

(b) The University pays for maintenance costs, rates and taxes, water and security.

5. Facilities operational expenses at WSU are combined and do not reflect each facility’s individual expense, such as staff houses, student residences, administration offices and laboratories. Since the expenses incurred on staff housing are not separately allocated to a cost centre, WSU cannot provide a comprehensive or consolidated account of expenditure on staff houses in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial years.

It is also important to report that the staff housing allocation at the Mthatha Campus of WSU is currently a subject of a forensic investigation instituted in March 2018.
