Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether her department has records of the total (a) number of and (b) amount paid out to foreign nationals through compensation from the Road Accident Fund in each province (i) in the past three financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2023 up to the latest specified date for which information is available; if not, why not; if so, what (aa) total number of (aaa) documented and (bbb) undocumented foreign nationals have been compensated and (bb) are the further relevant details?
Reply:
a) The table below shows the number of foreigner related payments processed for the period by regional office.
b) The table below shows the value / amount of capital paid to foreigner related claims for the period by regional office.
c) The RAF is unable to indicate the status of documented and undocumented claimants that have been paid in the last three years as requested, as no such an indicator exists in the claims system.
However, the RAF has in line with Section 17(l) has to ensure that the accident happened “… at any place within the Republic”. The RAF has issued a directive to ensure that every foreigner submits a stamped passport indicating that they were in the Republic when the accident occurred.
Furthermore, Section 44 of the Immigration Act compels RAF as an organ of state to “ascertain the status or citizenship of the persons receiving its services and shall report to the Director-General any alleged foreigner or any person whose status or citizenship could not be ascertained”.
d) The RAF has, however, implemented controls to confirm foreign claimants’ mortality status prior to payment release. This process requires verification of passports, or asylum confirmation documents to ensure that only documented foreign claimants are compensated.

All the occurrences that warrant investigation by the Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigations Divisions are categorised in the table as above and a final report is published on the SACAA website. In almost all cases the pilot and the owner/operator provide information on a questionnaire, which has comprehensive initial information for Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigations Divisions to assess the level of response required and determine the scope of the investigation.
The causal factors of the accidents are as follows:
(c) The reasons for the accident that were reported for each incident:
The purpose of the investigation is to collect data that will inform the final case of the accident. The causes of the accidents are included in (b) above.

(e) Steps taken by the SACAA to improve air safety in the Western Cape?
The responsibility to reduce the number of accidents in general aviation is not the sole responsibility of the Regulator but of the industry who are required to comply to the standards set by the Regulator. The Regulator develops regulations, technical standards and guidance material to assist the industry to comply. At appropriate times and where negligence and non-compliance are evident, the Regulator takes enforcement actions against those affected operators and licence holders.
In terms of the number of accidents, the Western Cape accounts for the second largest number of accidents in the country. Over and above the safety recommendations issued by investigators to relevant operators and parties, the SACAA developed a General Aviation Safety Strategy (GASS) with industry to reduce the number of accidents in the general aviation sector where the above accidents are prevalent.
The solutions and activities undertaken by the Regulator and industry include developing educational guidance material to address the most pressing and common causes of accidents as informed by the investigation reports, publishing articles in a special publication developed for this purpose and undertaking a number of safety awareness and promotion events such as seminars, workshops, etc. with industry.
The reduction in the number of accidents realised just in the past two financial years i.e., 2021/22 and 2022/23, is an indication that the efforts of the GASS are bearing positive results for example, there has been a reduction in the number of accidents country-wide by 15% and a reduction of 25% in fatal accidents as well as a 29% reduction in fatalities meaning that fewer people perished as a result of aircraft accidents in the GA sector in the past financial year.

Tetyana, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether, in light of the recent incidents of violence involving Intercape buses in Queenstown, Cofimvaba, Butterworth, Engcobo, Idutywa and Tsomo in the Eastern Cape, where the SA Police Service resorted to escorting buses travelling around those areas as a protection measure, her department has investigated the circumstances that led to the bus attacks; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The matter of intimidation, attacks and violence against Intercape’s operations in parts of the Eastern Cape is currently servicing before the High Court of South Africa, Eastern Cape Division in Makhanda. Intercape argues that it has been deliberately subjected to sustained acts of intimidation and violence allegedly by some taxi associations. They also alluded to the fact that these acts of violence were reported to the South African Police Services for investigation and bringing perpetrators to book. The outcome of these processes would expose the root cause of the problem.
09 November 2023 - NW3088
Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Transport
1)With regard to the cancellation of the post-retirement medical aid benefits for employees of the Road Accident Fund who were employed prior to 1 May 1998, what (a) are the details of (i) the post-retirement medical aid benefits that were cancelled and (ii) the reasons for the benefits being cancelled and (b) alternative and/or equivalent benefits were provided to the affected employees. (2) what (a) process was followed that led up to the cancellation of the medical benefits and (b) is the total number of employees who have retired and are not receiving the post-retirement medical aid benefits. (3) what is the (a) number and details of employees affected by the cancellation of medical benefits and (b) actuarially calculated cost of the medical aid benefit remaining in force until all specified employees employed before the 1 May 1998 have died; (4) whether she will furnish Mr R A Lees with a copy of the letter sent to employees regarding the cancellation of the medical aid benefits; if not, why not; if so, on what date; (5) what is the status of case number GATW15422-21 that is or was before the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration?
Reply:
a (i), Details of The RAF Post-Retirement Medical Aid Benefit (PRMA);
PRMA is a historical condition of service benefit provided to employees who were permanently employed with RAF (Fund) prior to 01 May 1998.
In terms of this benefit, the RAF would subsidize 50% (fifty percent) towards the medical aid contributions on/and throughout the retirement of such employees until the death of the retired employee or voluntary termination by the employee.
(a)(ii)
The post-retirement medical aid benefit was discontinued due to not only the dire financial status of the Fund but also the long-term unsustainable financial liability that such a benefit would have on the RAF.
The total estimated liability on this scheme has grown from R2 300 000 (two million three hundred thousand rands) (in April 1998 to an estimated R55 609 000 (fifty-five million six hundred and nine thousand rands) as of 31 March 2021 as per the actuarial valuation report.
The 31 March 2021 actuarial valuation report further projected a substantial increase in this liability to sixty-two million four hundred and sixty thousand rands (R62 460 000) as of 31 March 2022 This figure would continue to escalate exponentially considering changes in mortality rates and high inflation.
The RAF management with due and careful consideration of the above factors and the current financial sustainability of the RAF resolved that it was not viable to continue with the benefit.
The benefit was therefore discontinued with effect from 01 October 2021 for all eligible and active employees.
Moreover, this termination further ensures that the provision of benefits is consistently applied, uniformly across the board, benefitting all employees. Whereas only a few employees benefited from this benefit in the past it is now applied equitably and affordably amongst all employees. The Fund therefore sought to apply benefits to all its employees, not just a few.
(b)There is no alternative or equivalent benefit provided to the affected employees due to cost containment measures.
All employees are remunerated on total employee costs (TEC) and this ensures a uniform and equitable pay structure for all RAF employees.
All employees are equally responsible for ensuring medical cover post-retirement.
(2)(a) Upon confirmation of the Fund’s legal recourse in terms of its obligation and rights, an extensive and transparent consultation process was undertaken with affected parties. This included written correspondence with affected parties and consultation with current and those employees eligible for the benefit.
Following that, consultations with individual employees, and notice of termination letter(s) were issued to all affected employees on October 2021.
(2)(b)Of the 107 (one hundred and seven) employees, 8 (eight) employees have since retired post the October 2021 and are not receiving the benefit.
(3)(a) There were 107 (one hundred and seven) active employees who would have qualified and were affected by the cancellation of this medical benefit for the financial year ended 31 March 2022.
Of the 107(one hundred and seven) employees, 8 (eight)have since retired and did not receive the benefit as this was terminated before their retirement date. 3(three) took voluntary severance package, 3(three) deceased, 3 (three)resigned and 1(one) dismissed.
There are currently 88 (eighty-eight) employees in service affected by the cancellation.
There are currently 22 (twenty-two) employees who have the benefit as they retired before the benefit was terminated on 01 October 2021.
(3)(b)The total estimated liability on this scheme has grown from R2 300 000 (two million three hundred thousand rands) in April 1998 to an estimated R55 609 000 (fifty-five million six hundred and nine thousand rands) as of 31 March 2021 confirmed by the actuarial valuation report.
This actuarial valuation report further projected a substantial increase in liability to increase to R62 460 000 sixty-two million four hundred and sixty thousand rands at 31 March 2022.
(4) Letters were issued to all affected employees
(5)The CCMA has postponed the matter indefinitely at the request of the employees. The
matter will be set down only when the employees revert to the CCMA.

Seitlholo, Mr IS to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether, with regard to the matter of the SA National Road Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL) relating to Farm Biesjesvallei, 149, Portion 106 and a certain person (name furnished), the portion of the farm belong to SANRAL; if not, what is the status of the transfer; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The property in question relates to a historic matter where the landowner signed an agreement with SANRAL and agreed to the transfer of the road portion to SANRAL’s name without compensation. The portion of property falls within the road reserve of N14 section 11 that was taken over from the Province and declared as a National Route in 2006 under Declaration 217 of 2006. The N14 has been in existence for more than 25 years as a provincial road before its declaration a National Road in 2006. The transfer relates to a process where SANRAL transferred the road reserve (between road fence boundaries) of roads that were ceded to SANRAL by the Province or Municipalities. In nearly all instances a lifetime right was acquired by the previous Roads Authority but the road reserve portion (between road fence boundaries) was never separated or subdivided from the original owner’s property. The landowner has no control or use of the road reserve portion (between road fence boundaries) as he cannot lawfully prevent the public from using the road, hence it is considered a bare dominium to him. This is also to the benefit of the landowner as he/she will now pay rates on a smaller portion of land that excludes the road reserve portion.
Landowners are not compensated for the road reserve portion during the transfer process because they were compensated for their land by the previous Roads Authority that ceded the road to SANRAL.
Although the landowner originally agreed, the issue of compensation later became a major contention from the landowner and was never resolved as no agreement could be reached with him in this regard.
Despite numerous engagements, the landowner was unwilling to sign transfer documents and was served with a notice informing him about the matter and that it was going to be referred to the Minister of Transport for expropriation of the road reserve portion (between road fence boundaries) if he did not sign the necessary transfer documents. The matter will be referred to the Minister of Transport for expropriation as per SANRAL Act..

Lesoma, Ms RMM to ask the Minister of Transport
What (a) is the significant objective of the 2023 October Transport Month that she launched on 29 September 2023 under the theme Siyakha and (b) does she expect to achieve?
Reply:
a) The October Transport Month Campaign is a flagship programme of the Department that is implemented every year to celebrate the achievements of the Department, its entities and provincial departments of transport, municipalities and other achievements of the sector. The campaign celebrates contributions that enable the realisation of government’s economic recovery objectives in the aftermath of the ravages of the COVID 19 pandemic, which we have achieved through transport infrastructure build and maintenance projects; this includes improvement of transport services delivered and we celebrate the innovation that improves efficiencies in the delivery of services and/or propels sustainable infrastructure build that is cutting edge, while, highlighting areas of success in transport safety and security, development of transport skills, jobs created and growing transport industries and enterprises.
The campaign also aims to influence perceptions towards the transport brand and deepen awareness of transport policies and plans.
b) Following from the above exposition, what we aim to achieve through the OTM Campaign 2023 therefore, is a better positioning of the department and its entities to the public and our stakeholders, where the positioning implies:
- Having fulfilled commitments to deliver transport infrastructure and services resulting in job creation and economic development;
- A strong brand with a service delivery track record and the will to attend to challenges;
- Increased awareness on the DoT’s programmes and improved public perceptions about our work across spheres and thus growing our credibility as capable of delivering on promises made;
- Increased awareness on the measures taken to improve safety and security across all modes of transport; and
- Demonstrating work being done to improve the public transport system towards better access, affordability, increased efficiency and reliability of services, and improving overall safety and security across all modes of public transport with better awareness of key policy decisions made to enhance services.
Secondly, the campaign will also have enhanced the direct unmediated interaction with stakeholders, mobilised society and consolidated social partnerships in our work. It will therefore enhance citizen-centred participatory interactions in mobilising social compacts and consensus while showing how we have enabled job creation and improved service delivery.
Thirdly, the campaign would have won over members of the communities, business, and civil society as transport brand ambassadors and it would allow for greater cooperation across all spheres of government.

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Transport
(a) How far is the process of formalising and/or providing subsidies for the taxi industry and (b) what are the relevant details of the time frame to introduce the specified subsidy?
Reply:
1. One of the key problems identified in the current public transport system in South Africa, which is being attended to, is the lack of integration. This is manifested in the current subsidy regime that is still mode specific i.e. rail and bus. Recently, great emphasis has been sought to introduce subsidies for the minibus-taxi operators. Unfortunately, the mode linked operations and subsidy approach prevents the planning for and implementation of efficient services to commuters
2. As a result, the Department is developing a public transport subsidy policy that will locate the subsidisation of minibus taxi users within the wider, multi-modal subsidy framework as part of the public transport funding reforms. The draft subsidy policy proposes a move away from mode specific subsidisation to a position where a subsidised network will be serviced by a combination of modes to minimise the cost of transport. Integrated transport plans will be used to design the most efficient public transport systems irrespective of modes. There are a number of different subsidy models being considered and explored that includes the minibus taxi industry based on applicable integrated transport plans.
3. The draft public transport subsidy policy is being processed for submission to Cabinet for consideration and approval for a public consultation process. Only when the final policy is approved by Cabinet will it be implemented.

Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether there have been any issues in the pay-outs of the Road Accident Fund in the past two financial years; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The RAF, over the past 3 years, implemented quality assurance processes. These include checking for: i) payments made induplicate, ii) mortality of claimants, iii) foreign claimants are in the country legally and iv) if tax affairs of the claimant representative attorney are in order. Quality assurance processes are in line with the PFMA, the Immigrations Act, Treasury Regulations and any other applicable framework.
Out of this exercise, a number of challenges were identified and are being rooted out.
Also, the RAF obtained Judgement in terms of Rule 45A to suspend all court orders not older than 180 days as a means to have equitable and systematic payment process. In this regard older claims are prioritised.
Implementation of quality assurance processes together with obtaining Rule 45A judgement saw the RNYP reduce to below R10 billion in both 2021/22 and 2022/23 financial years.
RAF has since been able to make payment to all claims which have been quality assured.

Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether, given that the Minister of Public Enterprises did not table in Parliament the annual reports for SA Airways (SAA) for the 201920, 202021, 202122 and 202223 financial years, notwithstanding clause 17(6)(e) of the International Air Services Act, Act 60 of 1993, that requires the International Air Services Council to take into account the financial capability of the applicant (details furnished), the SAA currently has a valid international air services license; if not, why not; if so, (a) on what basis was the financial capability of SAA taken into account by the international air services council and (b) what date was the international air services license issued to SAA?
Reply:
a) The Council was satisfied that SAA (Soc) Ltd is fit and able to operate a Class I international air service based on the supporting/financial information submitted.
The IASC is an independent entity established under the International Air Service Council Act No. 60 of 1993, which specifically governs the regulation of air services, specifically international. Council operates within the provisions of the Act, in considering and continuous monitoring of applications and or licensee’s such as SAA.
Under the Act, one of the considerations taken into account is the financial capability of the airline. Financial resources of an airline are considered to be of the factors in determining whether an airline is capable of providing air services in line with regulations. This includes the airline's ability to finance and operate flights, as well as its capacity to maintain and repair aircrafts, provide on-board services and facilities, and meet other operational costs. The Council has utilized both the management accounts and operational plans to assess the capabilities for the airline to operate or continue operating.
In addition to financial capability, other key considerations considered in licensing include the operational ability of the airline. This encompasses various aspects related to the safety and security of passengers, crew members, and the public. This includes the airline's operational standards, their compliance with regulations, and their ability to maintain and enhance the quality and safety of their service delivery.
Another important factor that may be considered is the route utilization of the airline. This refers to whether the airline operates certain routes and the frequency at which they are operated. The IASC, when considering licensing for an airline may review the current routes and the capacity of the airline to operate those routes.
In summary, the IASC considers a range of factors when deciding on the licensing of an airline, including financial capability, operational ability and route utilization, among others.
b) SAA (Soc) Ltd’s last amended licence was last issued on 13 February 2020 and is still valid.

Tito, Ms LF to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether she is aware that the SA National Roads Agency SOC Ltd awarded a R4,7 billion tender to a certain company (name furnished) whose directors are charged with fraud; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The Department has confirmed that SANRAL is aware of the allegations Aqua Transport and Plant Hire (‘Aqua’) is facing.
However, according to information at SANRAL’s disposal, Aqua is neither blacklisted nor restricted on the National Treasury’s Central Supplier Database and, as such, the company is not prohibited from doing business with government and/or its entities. Aqua is also not a blacklisted/restricted service provider on SANRAL’s database.
Aqua also provided all statutory information and secretarial information for a bidder which is in good standing with the relevant regulatory bodies. In the light of the above, there was no legal issue which prevented SANRAL from awarding the contract SANRAL N.003-010-2017/9: National Route 3 Section 1 from the Westville Viaduct (km 11.80) to Paradise Valley Interchange (km 17.54), in tendered amount of R4 726 396 217.26, to the Aqua/EXR joint venture as it was the highest scoring bidder in the evaluation and adjudication.
In consideration of the issues surrounding Aqua, SANRAL sought external legal advice to determine if there were any legal impediments to making the award in line with the tender outcome. Legal advice indicated that under South African law, Aqua directors are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and as such SANRAL was legally duty bound to award the tender to the Aqua/EXR joint venture as the highest scoring bidder.
To mitigate any possible risk down the line SANRAL has, however, built in an award provision that should the company’s directors be found guilty in a court of law, SANRAL reserves the right to terminate the contract.
The Department shall also monitor the developments and any future Court Rulings, with regards, Aqua and ensure that SANRAL complies with implementing the laws.

Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Transport
What (a) are the (i) details of all default court judgments granted against the Road Accident Fund in each month from 1Â January 2017 to 30 June 2023, (ii) names and details of parties that were awarded default judgements and (iii) total amounts of each default judgement award split between (aa) the claim amount and (bb) associated legal costs, (b) is the total number of default judgements against the Road Accident Fund in each month in then specified period and (c) are the reasons for each default judgment being awarded?
Reply:
a) (i) The RAF does not possess record of DJ from 2017 until March 2021. The keeping of record for default judgements granted against the RAF was only initiated at the instance of the new executive, that joined the RAF in 2020. The new executive realised that there was an increasing number of default judgements being granted against the RAF. Flowing from the realisation mentioned above, a register was then created for the purpose of keeping record of all default judgements.

The RAF does not want to incur further legal costs in defending valid claims, as a result the judgements are granted in default without incurring costs of defending attorney and counsel.

Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Transport
What are the (a) relevant details of all contracts and/or arrangements that the Road Accident Fund (RAF) has had with the Sunshine Hospital, (b) detailed reasons for terminating any of the RAF contracts and/or arrangements with the specified hospital, (c) relevant details of all court judgments granted in favour of the hospital and against the RAF and (d) relevant details of the total amounts of all (i) court judgments and (ii) cost orders granted against the RAF in favour of the hospital?
Reply:
What are the
a) relevant details of all contracts and/or arrangements that the Road Accident Fund (RAF) has had with the Sunshine Hospital,
The RAF signed a Cooperation agreement with Sunshine Hospital in November 2007. The agreement had no expiry date. Upon review it was found that the relationship is no longer beneficial to the RAF business. Sunshine hospital was engaged and informed of the decision to terminate the relationship through a letter in July 2018.
b) detailed reasons for terminating any of the RAF contracts and/or arrangements with the specified hospital,
The agreement was not compliant with the RAF’s corporate governance prescripts whereby all signed agreements had an end date. The relationship was not relevant to RAF business and Sunshine was misrepresenting the nature of the relationship claiming to be a “RAF hospital”. There is evidence of sown cases of possible corrupt practises by Sunshine.
(c) Below is the list of all transaction in favour of Sunshine Hospital, listed by category, for the period 1 April 2014 to date:
Overall,
There were 28,941 transactions to the value of R3.53 billion of which, 1 132 with a value of R18.75 million were due to a court judgement.
(d) Below is the list of details of the total amounts of all (i) court judgments and (ii) cost orders granted against the RAF in favour of Sunshine Hospital.
In summary:
Plaintiff Attorney Capital are costs for the court order judgement, the Plaintiff Attorney Costs are legal costs awarded to Sunshine Hospital. Interest Costs are in relations to the capital awarded to Sunshine Hospital in the Judgement. Sherrif & Writ costs are costs of attachment and execution.

Tito, Ms LF to ask the Minister of Transport
In light of the social housing development project on land of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa, that is expected to benefit individuals who earn between R3 500 and R22 500 a month, which measures have been put in place to ensure that (a) only rightful beneficiaries will benefit and (b) no corruption will occur on the specified project?
Reply:
(a) In terms of the Legal Succession Act No. 38 of 2008 establishing the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa, section 23(2) states that, “the second object and the secondary business of the Corporation (“PRASA”) is to generate income from the exploitation of the assets acquired by it”.
Subsection 3 states that, “In carrying out its objects and business, the Corporation shall have due regard to key government social, economic and transport policy objectives.
The Department of Transport and PRASA are not a custodian of housing delivery, however, in the context underpinned by the principles of cooperative government and intergovernmental relations, the entity has a duty to ensure that the goals and objectives of the Department of Human Settlement are supported and promoted. Therefore, PRASA made available land located near areas of economic activity for construction of decent and affordable housing opportunities with easy access to public transport services and social amenities.
Through an open tender land-release programme (National Station Precinct Development Programme), PRASA awarded development rights to a non-profit Social Housing Institution (“SHI”) to develop and manage the top structure rental stock in line with the Social Housing Regulatory Authority terms and conditions.
Therefore, the Social Housing units at Goodwood Station (in Cape Town) will be allocated by the Social Housing Institute directly to deserving beneficiaries. In order to qualify for this rental subsidy, rightful beneficiaries need to earn a gross monthly income between R1,850 and R22,000, and must:
- Be South African citizen or have a permanent residency permit.
- Be 18 years or older.
- married or living with a partner.
- May be single or divorced and have proven financial dependants permanently living together.
(b) The Department of Transport also supports an anonymous tip-off call centre established by the Human Settlement Department in collaboration Social Housing Regulatory Authority for anyone who wish to report any suspicion of fraud, corruption, bribery etc. The contact number is 0800 111 670 or [email protected].

Khoza, Mr AV to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether, given the fact that goods transportation in the Republic relies mainly on road freight, particularly trucks, and also bearing in mind that the amount of fatally devastating accidents are caused by trucks on our roads nationally and in KwaZulu-Natal in particular, her department has any specific plan to alleviate the challenges brought about by the ever-increasing number of trucks on our roads; if not, why not; if so, (a) what is the plan and (b) on what date is the plan envisaged to be implemented?
Reply:
The Department is currently implementation , busy with the Rail Policy which is geared at dealing with the provision of rail services across the country. The Policy is founded on the principle of the modal shift of rail-friendly cargo from road to rail and the need to revitalise the railways to supply a range of industrial supply-chain logistics services.
The ultimate objective being to upgrade the existing and future rolling stock to ensure that they are better utilised and more volume of cargo moves from road to rail and the resultant reduction of haulage of bulk commodities by road transport. We have started with stringent law enforcements on hazardous chemical cargo to be completely on rail.
Currently there are law enforcement teams at strategic positions to ensure that truck drivers obey the rules and laws of the roads, These Provincial Law enforcement teams have been augmented by National Traffic Police under RTMC, and is yielding good results. The Department of Public Enterprises and Transnet are responsible for freight rail in SA.

Whether there are any existing working relations between Truckers Association South Africa and her department; if not, why not; if so, what agreements and/or Memoranda of Understanding exist between the two to manage their working relations, specifically in small towns along the national roads where they seem to be at loggerheads?
Reply:
Yes, the then Minister of Transport, Mr Fikile Mbalula, established a Road Freight and Logistics Task Team (Task Team) to serve as a conduit to the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) and it comprises all stakeholders within the road freight industry, the Departments of Transport, DHA, DEL, SAPS and DIRCO. Trucking Association of South Africa (TASA) is also a member.
At a meeting held on 22 June 2022 with some of the Ministers constituting the IMC wherein a media briefing was held where three documents were signed and they are
(i) The terms of Reference;
(ii) An implementation Plan; and
(iii) A pact.
were signed by the RFL stakeholders and some of the Departments in attendance.
The Task Team was formally established with a maximum of 2 representatives from each organisation,
The Task Team is hosted by the Department and its meets on a monthly basis wherein progress is monitored and evaluated on the activities of the outlined in the Implementation Plan.

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Transport
(1)Whether she has met with the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency management to understand the challenges facing the entity and to find out if there are any serious allegations of irregular appointments and termination of employment contracts; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether she has been informed that the entity recently lost labour arbitrations cases involving senior managers because the Chief Executive Officer failed to take due diligence and perform his function in line with fiduciary duty expected to safeguard public finances; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, how will she hold the accounting officer of the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency accountable for all the financial losses as a result of the arbitration process?
Reply:
1. Attending to challenges relating to the operations of any entity falls within the ambit of the fiduciary duties of the Board. The Board then accounts to the Minister n line with the Shareholder compact, quarterly reports on performance amongst other. The Minister can therefore not meet with management of the C-BRTA on operational challenges, this is the duty of the Board. However, if there are such challenges, the Board has an obligation to investigate these and report to the Minister. Such a report will also be disclosed in the Annual Report of the entity that will be tabled in Parliament.
2. I have been advised that the C-BRTA has lost one labour arbitration case recently, and the Agency is studying the judgement in order to make a determination on the course of action. Performance and other career incidents of the Chief Executive Officer are the responsibility of the Board.

Komane, Ms RN to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether (a) the Integrated Public Transport Network systems are fully effective across the metropolitan municipalities based on the monitoring measurements of the results and (b) members of the public rely on the Bus Rapid Transit system; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
- Integrated Public Transport Networks are operational in 8 municipalities, four metropolitan and four local municipalities. The effectiveness of the IPTN systems is measured based on the following operational indicators: operational hours, peak and off-peak frequencies, number of average weekday passengers’ trips, and number and percentage of municipal households within 500 meters walk to an IPTN station or stop.
The above indicators will differ per city. Generally, cities are operating services ranging from 15 to 19 hours per day, with peak frequencies of 5- 20 minutes and off-peak frequencies of 20-30 minutes. In 2022/23 a cumulative total of 555 990 average weekday passenger trips, compared to 399 260 in the previous year across all municipalities. All systems are designed to achieve 500-meter walk to an IPTN station or stop. In addition, these services are universally accessible to all passengers.
- Members of the public rely on Integrated Public Transport Network systems that include Bus Rapid Transit as well as Quality Bus services, as well as additional public transport services such as rail, bus and taxis, and walking and cycling in their areas.

Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Transport
Noting that her department only invests heavily in road safety campaigns during festive holidays while reckless driving and accidents occur throughout the year and furthermore noting that even then the specified campaigns are often aimed at motorists and freight drivers rather than their employers, who often subject them to unsafe and near impossible driving conditions that do not allow for rest periods during drives, what policies have been designed by her department to ensure that employers create a safer environment for long-distance drivers?
Reply:
Section 49 of the National Road Traffic Act, 1996 deals with the duties of the operator and provides as follows:
49 Duties of operator
The operator of a motor vehicle shall
- notify the registering authority concerned within seven days of any change in the circumstances in relation to his or her registration as the operator of such vehicle and return the operator card in respect of that motor vehicle to that registering authorityÍľ
- keep safe and protect from theft an operator card issued to him or her and, if any such card is lost, stolen or destroyed, he or she shall notify the nearest police station within 24 hours and the registering authority within whose area the holder is ordinarily resident within seven days after having become aware of such loss, theft or destruction or after it could reasonably be expected that he or she should have been aware of such loss, theft or destruction, whichever event occurred firstÍľ
- exercise proper control over the driver of such motor vehicle to ensure the compliance by such driver with all the relevant provisions of this Act, in particular the provisions regarding
- the requirements in respect of the professional driving permit referred to in section 32Íľ and
- the loading of such vehicle as prescribed by or under this ActÍľ
- ensure that such motor vehicle complies with the fitness requirements contemplated in Chapter VÍľ
- conduct his or her operations with due care to the safety of the publicÍľ
- if dangerous goods or substances are conveyed, ensure that all requirements for the conveyance of such goods or substances, as prescribed in
- any other law in relation to such goods or substancesÍľ and
- this Act, are complied withÍľ and
- take all reasonable measures to ensure that such motor vehicle is operated on a public road in compliance with the provisions for the loading and transportation of goods as prescribed by or under this Act. (my emphasis)
When traffic officials issue citations for transgressions of the above they are also expected to issue one for the operator.
As part of their Road Safety programme, the RAF has embarked on a Road Safety Wellness programme where attention is directed towards the safety of long-distance drivers, i.e. busses, taxis and trucks. They have a bus in which a nurse and an optometrist on board assist in checking for vitals like blood pressure and if there is a medical problem with the driver the nurse will prepare a letter referring them to the nearest clinic whereas, in the case of eyesight, the optometrist will prescribe glasses at no charge.

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Transport
What steps of interventions has she taken to ensure that public transport services are in a position to provide services to persons living with disabilities across the Republic?
Reply:
The Department published the White Paper on National Public Transport Policy, 2021 which commits that all forms of transport services will become “accessible to all”, (i.e universally accessible); including people with disabilities, all over the country. (Page 4).
The White Paper applies to all forms of transport services; road-based public transport, cycling and walking, rail, aviation and maritime. The implementation of this part of the White Paper requires coordination across the provinces and the State-owned Entities of the Department. The Transport Sector Transformation Forum meets quarterly, and progress on universally accessible transport is reported in this forum.
In road-based public transport services specifically, since 2010, ten municipalities have developed a universal design access plan (UDAP) to implement universally accessible transport systems in Integrated Public Transport Networks (IPTNS), using the Public Transport Network Grant (PTNG). In these ten municipalities new public transport vehicles have to be universally designed, to accommodate wheelchairs, people with other disabilities, passengers accompanying children, elderly people and women.
All ten municipalities report annually on the implementation of their UDAP, which includes all aspects of the travel chain, not vehicles alone. The implementation of the UDAP is part of the operational plan of the new public transport system within an IPTN. Where any form of transport in an IPTN is not accessible, passengers are able to register a complaint. Under the National Land Transport Act section 18(5) this complaint must be remedied.

Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Transport
Given that there have been violent tensions between taxi drivers and private service providers such as Uber drivers over routes and customers in some parts of the Republic, what stakeholder meetings has her department held to bring the warring groups to a working agreement that works for them and their commuters who are members of the public?
Reply:
-
- Provinces are managing operations between all taxi services in the different provinces and that involves the relations between the taxi drivers and Uber drivers. Where there are violent tensions between the taxi service operators, the provinces intervene and involve the law enforcement authorities as those would be criminal matters.
-
- It is prudent to mentioned that my predecessors have had a number of engagements with the taxi industry stakeholders to quell the violence and conflict that exist in this industry. That is, the Department had several meetings with taxi operators, e-hailing drivers and App companies (i.e. Uber and Bolt) as follows:
- The Department (the then Minister of Transport, Mr Maswanganyi) met the Minister of Police (Mr Fikile Mbalula) to discuss the taxi violence and thereafter convened a meeting with e-hailing drivers, App companies and metered taxi operators on 28 July 2017, Centurion;
- Then, the Department met with operators and provincial Department of Transport in Sandton, Gautrain Station, to deal with the violence that occured there;
- Former Ministers (Mr Blade Nzimande and Mr Fikile Mbalula) engaged affected stakeholders including cities and SANTACO. Then, the National Task Team (NTT) comprising of SANTACO, Metered Taxis, App companies and e-hailing drivers was established. The NTT had several meetings to deal with the matter at hand; and
- The Minister issued a media statement to denounce acts of taxi violence which transpired in the vicinity of the Maponya Mall, Soweto on Friday, 02 June 2023. In no distant future, the Department will, once more, engage the affected stakeholders to serious implore all stakeholders to desist from doing the violent act and co-exist for the beneficial of passengers.
- It is prudent to mentioned that my predecessors have had a number of engagements with the taxi industry stakeholders to quell the violence and conflict that exist in this industry. That is, the Department had several meetings with taxi operators, e-hailing drivers and App companies (i.e. Uber and Bolt) as follows:
3.2 The National Land Transport (NLT) Amendment Bill has been passed by the National Assembly and it is undergoing the National Council of Provinces processes. Once signed into law by the President, the Department will introduce the regulations to regulate the e-hailing services to bring into effect the level playing field. This process has been started and it is undertaken in parallel to the process of the NLT Amendment Bill.
3.3 A declaration was signed during the National Taxi Lekgotla, where the taxi industry and all other stakeholders rejected violence and pledged to work with government to ensure that peace and stability prevails within the taxi industry sector.

Pambo, Mr V to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether her department is involved in any plans to rehabilitate the 4, 5km D2953 road covering the KaHhoyi village in Mpumalanga; if not, why not; if so, (a) on what date will the project start and (b) what (i) total amount is budgeted for the project and (ii) is the envisaged duration of the project?
Reply:
The Department can confirm that the road D2953 is a provincial road under the management of the Mpumalanga province.
As the honourable member may be aware of the separation of powers and responsibility on road (provincial roads) as exclusive functions of the province, the Department does not have plans and is not in any plans to rehabilitate 4.5km of road D2953. The Mpumalanga Department of Public Works and Roads is however carrying out maintenance of the road such as pothole patching and routine maintenance to keep the road safe and usable.

Alexander, Ms W to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether she will furnish Mrs W R Alexander with a comprehensive breakdown of the procurement allocation of (a) her department and (b) every entity reporting to her in terms of the percentages allocated to (i) small-, medium- and micro-enterprises, (ii) cooperatives, (iii) township enterprises and (iv) rural enterprises with a view to evaluating the effectiveness of the set-aside policy of the Government in fostering an inclusive and diverse economic landscape (details furnished) in the (aa) 2021-22 financial year and (bb) since 1 April 2023? NW1953
Reply:
Department
a)(i) The Department procured the following estimated percentage from small-, medium- and micro-enterprises, for both tender and quote processes:
(aa) 2021-22: 19% of all procurement;
(bb) Since Apr 2023: 25% of all procurement.
In response to (a)(ii) to (iv), please note that PPPFA Regulations 2017 and other National Treasury procurement rules and regulations did not allow for set asides. In terms of the PPPFA Regulations 2017, preference was given in terms of BBBEE status. Service providers also were not required to provide information regarding cooperatives and whether they were rural or township enterprises.
The PPPFA Regulations of 2022, with effect from 16 January 2023, allow Department’s to develop their own goals.
As the Department of Transport our policy includes promoting rural enterprises, as and when the Department procures for events in rural/township areas. Rural and township enterprises can bid/quote for all requests via standard processes.
Procurement processes and the Central Supplier Database do not prevent any supplier from registering or contracting. However, there is no requirement to provide the requested information, which as such is not recorded by the Department.

30 June 2023 - NW1907
Tito, Ms LF to ask the Minister of Transport
(1) What number of provinces has she identified to transfer their provincial and local roads to SA National Roads Agency Ltd (SANRAL) due to lack of maintenance; (2) whether there will be budget transfers from the affected provinces to SANRAL’s coffers since the entity has hit a fiscal cliff resulting in the entity being unable to address its own road maintenance backlog; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details? NW2161E
Reply:
- See attached annexure A.
- Road transfers to SANRAL are not accompanied by direct budget transfers from the affected Province to SANRAL. The Provincial allocation will automatically reduce through the Provincial Road Maintenance Grant formula which is based on kilometer network length work in each Province, and SANRAL allocation will be adjusted by National Treasury over the MTEF period.
As per SANRAL press statements the “fiscal cliff” article that recently appeared in papers is based on 2016 scenarios as presented in SANRAL Horizon 2030 and the non-toll funding levels at the time. This scenario fortunately did not materialize, and SANRAL non-toll funding allocations received from National Treasury has increased by over 90% since 2015/16, enabling SANRAL to address national road backlogs and incorporated the remainder of the Strategic and Primary network, of which ± 12,000 km still remains to be transferred.
It is important to note that the transfer of roads is a process to be initiated by the Premier of the province with a formal letter to the Minister of Transport, meaning that without the Premier’s request, no transfers can be initiated.
ANNEXURE A
SANRAL mandate is to be responsible for the identified Strategic and Primary Road network of South Africa ± 35,000 km, of which 23,559 km has been transferred to SANRAL to date. The remaining portions of identified Strategic and Primary network per Province is summarised in table below.
During the 2022/23 financial year only three provinces, namely Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and North West the following Strategic and Primary roads were transferred as follows:
- Eastern Cape transferred thirty (30) roads=332km
- Northern Cape transferred twenty (20) roads= 951km
- North West transferred one road (N12) with three (3) sections= 20.23km
30 June 2023 - NW1935
Paulsen, Mr N M to ask the Minister of Transport
In light of the directive given in terms of section 79 of the National Ports Act, Act 12 of 2005, which short-circuits sections of the Act that require a separate public consultation process when harbour space is leased to third parties and compels Transnet to make way for the power ships, which sections of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 89 of 1993, did Kapowership comply with in terms of the necessary risk profile required by the Act?
Reply:
In terms of the National Ports Act No. 12 of 2005, Section 79 (1) The Minister may, in writing, direct the Authority to perform a specified act within the Authority’s power or not to perform a specified act, if such direction is necessary of the-
- to safeguard the national security of the Republic;
- promote the national, strategic or economic interests of the Republic; or to;
- discharge an international obligation of the Republic.”
The condition that the Minister of Transport has put on the directive is sufficient enough to give TNPA latitude to require Karpowership to comply with all necessary safety and operational requirements:
“TNPA reserves the rights to include all the necessary commercial and safety requirements or agreements that considered necessary during the period of this Directive.
Karpowership remains obliged to obtain all other statutory approvals and consent(s) as prescribed in law and as may be reasonably required by the TNPA.
The directive is also subject to all other government approvals such as Environmental Approvals from competent government departments”.
30 June 2023 - NW2084
Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Transport
With regard to the recent approval of the application of Karpowership to access the Ports of Ngqura, Durban and Saldanha Bay for a period of 20 years which is expected to assist in the reduction of load shedding in the Republic, (a) what measures will she employ to ensure that the specific project will not be marred by corruption and (b) how long will it take for the public to see the positive impact of the project?
Reply:
In terms of the National Ports Act No. 12 of 2005, Section 79 (1) The Minister may, in writing, direct the Authority to perform a specified act within the Authority’s power or not to perform a specified act, if such direction is necessary of the-
-
to safeguard the national security of the Republic;
-
promote the national, strategic or economic interests of the Republic; or to;
-
discharge an international obligation of the Republic.”
The Minister of Transport therefore is not the custodian of the project itself as that project falls under the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy. It is therefore advisable that the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy respond to these specific questions.
14 June 2023 - NW1298
Mogale, Mr T to ask the Minister of Transport
By what date does she envisage will the (a) road connecting Verkeerdevlei with Thaba Nchu be tarred as this provides the shortest access to Thaba Nchu from the N1 and (b) R703 road linking the N8 with the N1 be fixed, particularly the pothole riddled section between Verkeerdevlei and Excelsior?
Reply:
The matter was referred to Free State Department of Community Safety, Roads and Transport, since this road falls under their area of jurisdiction and have indicated that roads in the Province are prioritized based on the outcome of optimal resource allocation. For that purpose, procurement processes have already commenced for parts of this request.
a) The province would like to address the concerns regarding the maintenance backlog on the Verkeerdevlei to Thaba Nchu (N8-N1) road. We understand the importance of maintaining our roads to ensure safe and efficient travel for all citizens.
The province acknowledges the potholes on this section of the road, as it forms part of the provincial departmental Potholes Repair Programme under Provincial Road Maintenance Grant (PRMG) funds. The Motheo region has a weekly target of pothole patching in line with the Departmental Annual Performance Plans (APPs). This is aimed at ensuring the road is safe for road users at all time, while the Department is planning to perform rehabilitation for the entire road later in the year because it has reached its life span.
b) The advert for the section between Excelsior and Tweespruit closed in 31 January 2023 and is currently undergoing evaluation with an allocated budget of R25 million for the 2023/24 financial year and a provisional R45 million for the 2024/25 financial year. The budget will be adjusted based on bids received and approved. The anticipation date appointment of a contractor is expected by end of June 2023.
The province assures that the Verkeerdevlei to Thaba Nchu road is not forgotten, and it will be prioritized in the next financial year. The province is aware of the urgency of the situation will work diligently to address the maintenance backlog on this road.

Hunsinger, Mr CH to ask the Minister of Transport
What are the details of the concrete plans she has to deal with regarding the extensive road maintenance backlog, especially in relation to fixing the economically damaging potholes and generally bad road surface conditions in the Republic?
Reply:
As the honourable member may be aware, most of the South African road network has reached their twenty (20) years design life with the maintenance backlog estimated to be R197 billion. It is also important to note that insufficient budget for roads at both provincial and municipal levels continue to hinder the sector hence most of these roads are riddled with potholes.
Following Cabinet retreat of 31 May to 1 June 2022, whereby SANRAL was appointed as the implementing agent for the programme to support the Roads authorities with skills capacity and use of the maintenance technologies already available at SANRAL. All provinces developed and presented their respective plans on the six months rollout till end of 2022/23 financial year.
The programme “Operation Vala Zonke” rollout was then launched on 08 August 2022 in Gauteng with all other eight (8) provinces simultaneously launching their rollout programmes.
The rollout plan has both the short and long-term interventions that is presented to the National Treasury for funding support which includes amongst others.
- Substantial budget increase to Provincial Road Maintenance Grant (PRMG) to be ringfenced for national intervention to allow SANRAL direct intervention where authorities fail to discharge their mandates.
- Department issuing practice notes for provinces to sign MoA’s with municipalities for future collaboration and assistance of skills capacity to utilise the pothole reporting app.
- Support for provinces and municipalities in uploading the roads data in the SANRAL Integrated Transport Information System.
- SANRAL to remain central in coordinating all pothole fixing programme with both provinces and municipalities jointly working together.
The Department is in the process of establishing the “Operation Vala Zonke War Room” whereby all matters relating to pothole information will be centrally coordinated.
Following my meeting with His excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa in May 2023, I will be meeting with all the nine Premiers with effect from the 5th of June 2023 to address amongst others, challenges facing the province’s financial, technological and human resource capacity and also agree on how the rollout can be strengthened.

Mokgotho, Ms SM to ask the Minister of Transport
By which date is it envisaged that the R70 road between Senekal and Ficksburg will be repaired, as it is riddled with potholes?
Reply:
The matter was referred to the Free State Department of Community Safety, Roads and Transport, since this road falls under their area of jurisdiction, who have indicated that:
a) Delays were experienced for immediate repairs due a lack of resources
b) The planned intervention is the inclusion of the road on the Departmental Business Plan over the 2023/24 MTEF. Specifications have already been drafted and will be presented to relevant structures by end of May 2023, in an effort to kick-start the process of advertising for a contractor to fix and repair the two separate roads: i.e. Senekal – Rosendal and Rosendal – Ficksburg.

Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether, in view of the many reported cases of school-going children in rural areas being forced to cross dangerous makeshift bridges to and from school even in the most dangerous weather conditions, with the most recent case being primary school pupils crossing the Mvenyane River in Matatiele in the Eastern Cape, her department has undertaken any follow up interventions with regard to the specified cases to address the issues; if not, why has her department not undertaken to fix bridges which have been damaged by floods; if so, what follow up and intervention has already been made in response to the specified case?
Reply:
The Eastern Cape Department of Transport (ECDoT) is aware of the difficulty children in rural areas face when rivers are full and river crossings become impassable.
The National Department of Public Works & Infrastructure (DPWI) through BFI have secured funds with the purpose of constructing Welisizwe bridges aim at ensuring that access to schools, clinics, police stations are safe.
To this end the DPWI and ECDoT have entered into a memorandum of agreement for Welisizwe Bridges programme SIP No. 25. The following Departments are also involved in the rollout of this program:
- Department of Defence
- Department of Transport
- Department of Cooperative Governance & Traditional Affairs
The ECDoT after the recent floods have identified 49 bridges that will be constructed over the MTEF period. The following table confirms that:
