Question NW2088 to the Minister of Environmental Affairs
03 July 2018 - NW2088
Steenkamp, Ms J to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
What are the reasons that the Waste Management Bureau is issuing tenders for new properties where current owners are not more than 51% compliant as opposed to setting out a roadmap for them to become black empowered?
Reply:
The Waste Bureau has to issue new tenders for storage and preprocessing facilities because most of the contracts with current owners are expiring on 30 September 2018 and cannot be extended further due to the fact that National Treasury only permitted the contracts to be for a maximum period of
12 months, which 12-month period now expires on 30 September 2018.
