Reply:
1. According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) statistics, prior to September 2021, a total of 59 Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) cases were under investigation by the Directorate Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI). The Priority Crimes Litigation Unit (PCLU) oversaw the investigations at a national level until they were migrated to the respective provinces in April 2019. After a careful analysis, a further 55 cases were thereafter identified for re-opening.. These cases pertained to the deaths in detention where detainees, detained mainly under security legislation, died under circumstances which necessitated further investigation. These matters were identified on the available information at that stage. The process to review the TRC Recommendations is ongoing and relevant is extracted from the multiple volumes of the Final TRC Report.
Since September 2021 to July 2022, a total of 64 new matters have been referred to the DPCI for investigation.
2. The criteria currently used is to first establish if the charge/s against person/s have not prescribed. Once it has been ascertained that the matter was referred by the TRC, and the charges have not prescribed, then the matter is referred for re-opening to DPCI for the allocation of an investigator. After an investigator is appointed, the matter is referred to the office of the relevant Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) where a dedicated TRC prosecutor is assigned the matter for prosecution guided investigation to take place.

Hlengwa, Ms MD to ask the Minister in The Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities
Considering that the report of the Auditor-General of South Africa on her Office highlighted the severe challenge of underspending which was flagged across all the programmes in the portfolio of her Office, which indicates a clear lack of strategic planning, how will she capacitate the human resource division in her Office to strengthen overall work performance?
Reply:
The Auditor-General of South Africa found that the underspending on Goods and Services in departmental Programmes was due to COVID-19 implications and not a lack of strategic planning or under-capacitated human resources. Given the suspension of all COVID-19 restrictions, the Department shall take all necessary measures to ensure that allocated funds are appropriately spent.

What measures did she and/or her Office put in place at grassroots level with the different stakeholders including Basic Education, Social Development and the SA Police Service to monitor the protection woman enjoy against the risks of being raped, murdered and becoming victims of genderbased violence?
Reply:
The Department is facilitating establishment of Gender Based Violence and Femicide Rapid Response Teams (GBVF RRTs) at Local and District Municipality levels. The purpose of these Multi Stakeholder GBVF structures is to coordinate supportive response to GBVF victims and GBVF Prevention initiatives in the Municipalities. The GBVF RRTs are made up of government departments (i.e. Department of Basic Education, Social Development, South African Police Services and other government departments that are key in the fight against the scourge of GBVF). The Civil Society Organisations and other government entities, like the Thuthuzela Care Centres and Victim Empowerment Centres are also represented in these Local Multi Stakeholder GBVF Structures.

Boshoff, Dr WJ to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(1) Whether, with reference to the reply to question 3782 on 2 November 2022, she will furnish Dr W J Boshoff with the names of all the like-minded civil society organisations and interest groups that are part and have formed the Social Inclusion in Education Working Group since its establishment; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details (2) (a) how were the groups brought together and (b) were they brought together by her department; (3) whether there is a possibility that civil society organisations representing family values can form a working group with her department; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, will she and her department support such organisations and consider their counsel?
Reply:
(1) The list of the like-minded civil society and interest groups that are part of the Social Inclusion in Education Working Group is enclosed.
(2) (a) Although the intention of the working group is to address all social inclusion matters, when it was established, it sought to address in the meantime the burning issue of socio-educational inclusion of diverse sexual orientation, gender identitiy, expression and sex characteristics. Due to limited capacity internally at the Department of Basic Education (DBE), it was important to reach out to civil society organisations that work daily at the coalface of similar issues at school and community level, to ensure an efficient, effective, relevant and appropriate education sector response. Establishing a working group is recommended to maintain stakeholder relations.
(b) Yes
(3) The DBE has previously attempted to incorporate civil society organisations representing family values in the working group. However, this approach to group composition proved to be a challenge due to extreme differences in opinion. As such, the DBE has opted to openly engage with civil society organisations representing family values separately, as their voice is valuable and essential in addressing discrimination and oppression of children from a family values perspective. These engagements have already begun.

Bagraim, Mr M to ask the Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities
What steps will she take to ensure that the target of 3% set by the Minister of Employment and Labour in the past 15 years for the employment of persons with disabilities within the civil service is reached forthwith as persons with disabilities make up almost 7% of our population in the Republic?
Reply:
The monitoring mandate of the Department is a function concerned with tracking and reporting on progress and regress on targets as well as providing technical support on the development of National and Provincial Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans. These are key enablers to systemic changes to mainstream disability considerations.
There are currently engagements between the Department of Public Service and Administration, Department of Employment and Labour as well as the Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities regarding the employment equity targeting.

(1) Whether, with reference to her reply to question 2522 on 10 October 2022, the guidelines for Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression and Sex Characteristics that her department is consulting on, would enable an inclusive and safe learning environment for all learners; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) what are the practical considerations for implementation to ensure that the culture and rights of all learners are protected and respected; (3) whether she has any concerns about the specified guidelines and/or their implementation; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
(1) Yes
(2) Due consideration has been given to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa as the supreme law of the State, which prohibits violation of rights of all citizens.
(3) Human rights compliant education practice is an ongoing discourse; and the concern is that educators may not all be technically ready to implement the guidelines once published. Therefore, the Department of Basic Education is working with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), South African Council for Education (SACE), Equal Education Law Centre (EELC), and the Commission on Gender Equality to ensure proper sensitisation of educators and school communities to circumvent this concern.

Myburgh, Mr NG to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
With reference to the Auditor-General’s 2021-22 report on his department, (a) what steps are being taken to design and implement a National Action Plan to address the growing scourge of water losses in various parts of the Republic and (b) by what date will the specified plan be ready for implementation?
Reply:
a) The Department acknowledges the deterioration of water and sanitation services at municipal level. The decline includes a growing trend on water losses and water use inefficiencies. In response to the decline, and along with the requirement by AGSA to develop an action plan, the Department is putting in place a Water Services Improvement Programme (WSIP) to strengthen its support and intervention at municipal level based on actual data or most available data. The aim of the programme is for the Department to ensure that support and intervention at municipal level is proactive, consistent, and systematic as opposed to current ad-hoc approach. In line with the WSIP, the Department has further established the Water Partnership Office (WPO) within the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA). The WPO has developed five standardized National Programmes for private sector participation in municipal water and sanitation services, to make it easier, quicker, and cheaper for municipalities to enter into partnerships, without having to ‘reinvent the wheel’ for each partnership. One of the five National Programmes within the WPO is Non- Revenue Water (NRW) programme aimed at implementing the Water Conservation and Water Demand Management and cost recovery programme focusing on reducing losses, reducing over consumption, and improving cost recovery
b) A part of the programme is being implemented; the intention is to roll it out Nationally in the next Financial Year (2023/24 FY)

What provisions have been made to curb the rising levels of violence at schools without overly securitising schools?
Reply:
1. National School Safety Framework
The Department has trained schools on the implementation of the National School Safety Framework (NSSF) which is a guiding framework in addressing all forms of violent incidences in schools including gangsterism. The NSSF empowers schools to identify and manage all safety threats in schools, establish school safety committees comprising of stakeholders such as teachers, police officers, school governing body members and learner representative council members. Furthermore, The NSSF also empowers schools to develop incident reporting mechanisms, establish collaborations with external stakeholders such as the South African Police Service (SAPS), the Department of Social Development and civil society organisations, as well as develop school safety plans and policies to respond to safety challenges.
2. Protocol to Deal with Incidences of Corporal Punishment in schools
The Department developed and published a Protocol to Deal with Incidences of Corporal Punishment in schools to highlight the abolishment of corporal punishment in schools and to provide Provinces, Districts and schools guidance on how to deal with issues of corporal punishment. The protocol foregrounds the following areas:
- The steps to be taken by provincial, district, circuit and school Senior Management Team (SMT) in reporting the incidents of corporal punishment in schools;
- The complaints procedures are outlined and the measures to be taken at every level of the system are explicit and include the labour relations processes in response to perpetrators of corporal punishment as well as sexual abuse and harassment;
- In line with the NSSF the Protocol further supports schools in ensuring safe and supportive learning environments that use protective behaviour, positive discipline, restorative justice and positive behaviour intervention support systems.
3. Protocol on the Management and Reporting of Sexual Abuse and Harassment in Schools
The Department developed and published a Protocol on the Management and Reporting of Sexual Harassment and Abuse in Schools, which highlights the illegality of sexual harassment and abuse committed against children in schools, and to provide Provinces, Districts and schools guidance on how to deal with issues of sexual harassment and abuse in schools. The Protocol foregrounds the following:
- The various key legislation that protect children against sexual harassment and abuse which include the Employment of Educators act, 76 of 1998, the South African Council for Educators Act 31 of 2000, the Children’s Act of 2005 and Criminal law (sexual offences and related matters) amendment act, 2007 act 32 of 2007;
- The steps to be taken by provincial, district, circuit and school SMT in reporting the incidents of sexual abuse and harassment in schools;

The Department also has an established Protocol with SAPS to address crime and violence in schools The Protocol has enabled all schools to be linked to their local police stations, SAPS conduct searches and seizures in schools and conduct crime awareness campaigns in schools. Regularly, schools work with SAPS and local community police forums and social workers to address gangsterism issues. Constantly, searches and seizures of illegal drugs and weapons are done in schools and anti-gangsterism campaigns in collaboration with the Department of Social Development and the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development are conducted in schools.
5. Inter-Departmental Campaign on the prevention of Violence, Bullying, Corporal Punishment, GBBV, Learner Pregnancy, Drugs and Substance Abuse
The Department and its partner Departments: Social Development, Justice and Constitutional Development, Correctional Services, the South African Police Service and the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies have also embarked on an Inter-Departmental Campaign on Violence Prevention. This Campaign raises awareness on issues such as the prevention of bullying, corporal punishment, gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy and drugs and substance abuse in schools. The Campaign has been championed by the Deputy Minister of Basic Education and is supported by other Deputy Ministers from the partner Departments. The Campaign has been targeting districts with high levels of crime and violence known as hot spots. The Campaign includes build up events that take groups of learners through priority content areas related to violence prevention.
Thus far, the Campaign has been rolled out in four provinces: Gauteng (Gauteng West District), Limpopo (Sekhukhune East District), Mpumalanga (Nkangala District) and the North West (Dr Kenneth Kaunda District). The Campaign also involves Senior Management Teams, School Governing Bodies, learners, parents and ward councillors of the participating schools, in this way the Campaign is a whole school community engagement. The Department intends to continue rolling out the Campaign in other outstanding provinces during this financial year and into subsequent years.
Moreover, districts in collaboration with provincial education departments and civil society organisations also conduct regular awareness raising interventions that advocate for the prevention of violence in schools. These provincial led programmes include school assembly talks, public debates and dialogues amongst learners. The DBE monitors these awareness programmes through the District Monitoring of School Safety Programmes annually.
6. Codes of Conduct and Policies
The Department compels all schools to develop and adopt a code of conduct to address ill-discipline of learners. School codes of conduct are aligned with the Constitution of South Africa and child-protection legislation; and are communicated and adopted/ agreed to by all school stakeholders such as SMTs, School Governing Bodies and Learner Representative Councils. School codes of conduct are further supplemented by anti-bullying policies, alcohol and drug abuse policies which contribute towards creating safe and enabling environments in schools.

(1)By what date will his department install a sewer system for residents of Ward 40, Extension 8 in Rustenburg, who had put in a request for installation to his department in 2019 without any response to their application to date. (2)whether he will furnish Mrs S M Mokgotho with the relevant details regarding the installation; if not, why not; if so, on what date?
Reply:
The extension 8 housing development in Ward 40 was funded by the erstwhile Department of Housing in 2005. Two hundred (200) houses were constructed and handed over to beneficiaries. Whereas there was a sewer pipeline network in the areas at the time of construction, some of the houses were not connected to the sewer pipe network. According to the Municipality, the area is fully equipped with a sewerage conveyances system, the only challenge that exists is to connect the few houses to the sewer line.
The Department of Water and Sanitation allocated R70 million from the Water Services Infrastructure Grant for 2022/23 to the Rustenburg Local Municipality. The municipality indicated that it has prioritised the refurbishment of the Boitekong sewer pump station and the outfall sewer. The current budget allocation for WSIG is fully committed, however, the municipality is in the process of reprioritising the Municipal Infrastructure Grant to address the Boitekong sanitation backlog.

Boshoff, Dr WJ to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(1) With reference to the reply to question 3781 on 2 November 2022, what are the (a) requirements and/or (b) directives that came with the funding of the Socio-Educational Inclusion of Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities, Expression and Sex Characteristics programme; (2) whether her department applied for the specified programme; if not, was it simply offered to them; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether her department was given a mandate to be involved in such a programme; if not, what (a) is the position in this regard and (b) are the reasons that her department felt it was important to be involved in the programme; if so, by whom?
Reply:
(1) (a) the requirements for the UNESCO funding Socio-Educational Inclusion of Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities, Expression and Sex Characteristics programme were seeking services of a consultant to help the Department of Basic Education (DBE) draft guidelines for schools.
(b) there were no particular directives that came with the funding.
(2) The programme supports the realisation of Pillar 10 (a Rights-based Socially Cohesive and Inclusive School Environment) in the operational framework of the DBE on Care and Support for Teaching and Learning (CSTL). The intention is to ensure social justice and inclusion of previously marginalised minorities.
(3) The DBE is mandated by the Constitution to carry out this work. It is important for the education sector to be deliberate and intentional in addressing discrimination, prejudice and related intolerances that seem to prevent children from realising their inalienable right to education and undermine the constitutional gains of a democratic South Africa.

Mokgotho, Ms SM to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
What plans did his department put in place to provide adequate water to residents of new stands at Boitekong in Rustenburg?
Reply:
Due to the current high water demand exacerbated by the ongoing power outages, the Rustenburg Local Municipality (LM) is implementing water demand management in the greater Boitekong areas including the new stands (Extention 13). According to the Rustenburg LM, the water restrictions schedules have been communicated with relevant Ward Councillors and the affected residents.
In the medium to long term, funds have been made available through Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) administered by Department of Cooperative Government and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) for the upgrade of Bospoort Water Treatment Works from the 12ML/d to 24ML/d. I have been advised that the outstanding mechanical and electrical works is envisaged to be completed by the end of June 2023. This will ensure adequate water provision to the Boitekong area.

Cuthbert, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
Whether, with reference to the comment made by Mr Paul Mashatile in The Sunday Times on 9 October 2022, that to date eight of the masterplans have been approved by social partners and are in the stage of implementation, already delivering impressive results through sectoral growth, employment creation and expanding economic opportunity for previously excluded designated groups, his department, which is responsible for co-ordinating industry master plans, supplied Mr Paul Mashatile with the necessary empirical evidence to support the claim that the specified master plans are delivering impressive results; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, will he furnish Mr M J Cuthbert with the evidence?
Reply:
Details of performance of sectors in the economy are publicly available, as are the submissions made by the Department.
The President has provided information in State of the Nation Addresses, including on progress with specific Master Plans.
Details of relevant Master Plans have also been made available by the dtic to the Portfolio Committee, most recently on 1 November 2022 as part of the Department’s six-monthly report of performance against its Annual Performance Plan.
The report sets out to showcase the economic impact the Department has made in the implementation of the various Master Plans in the first 6 months of 2022/23 financial year, amongst other programmes. Furthermore, the presentation reported on the impact and outcomes of the department on a number of metrics, including jobs, manufacturing, local content, investments and industrial funding. A number of case studies were also provided across the various Master Plans to illustrate the impact of work done by the dtic.
In addition, other government departments responsible for specific master plans also make information available.
A number of businesses and sector leaders also provide information on the performance of Master Plans.

Tambo, Mr S to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
(1)Whether, with reference to his utterances in the public domain regarding the funding for the so-called missing middle and getting the private sector, particularly the banks, to provide loans to students for their studies, his department has entered into any formal and/or informal agreements with the banking sector to fund education; if not, why not; if so, (2) whether there has been any feasibility study done on (a) the impact of loans as a method to fund students and (b) whether loans as a method to fund students will not create massive debt traps as seen in countries such as the United States; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
(1) No, the Department has not entered into any agreements with the banking sector to provide loans to missing middle students. However, there have been engagements with banks about the possibility of a loan scheme supported by government guarantees.
(2) Issues relating to the feasibility of loans were explored in earlier work conducted by the Department, particularly by a Ministerial Task Team that reported in 2016. The findings of this work were incorporated into the report of the Ministerial Task Team, whose recommendations are currently under discussion. The work of this MTT reviewed previous policy advice provided to government. In addition, the report reflected on the findings of the Heher Judicial Commission on the funding of higher education, which included recommendations for an income-contingent loan model, which would include the tax-collection authority. In investigating a possible future loan model, the Department will be mindful of the student debt situation and the feasibility of collecting loans.

Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
With regard to his department’s mandate to promote a dynamic industrial and globally competitive economy, what proactive action has his department taken to ensure that the Republic continues to positively participate in the global economy amidst looming grey list status and the high inflation rates which have had a negative impact on consumers?
Reply:
The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic) is focused on supporting domestic businesses and foreign and domestic investors.
This support includes the conceptualisation and implementation of sectoral Masterplans by Government, Business and organised Labour. the dtic’s interventions include the provision of globally competitive financial and non-financial incentives; support for localisation through targeted private and public procurement interventions; careful use of trade policy measures to support investment in the industrial sector; measures in the competition policy space which encourage investment and localisation; and unblocking activities to assist investors to navigate South Africa’s regulatory environment as efficiently as possible. These efforts bear fruit with new investments publicly launched in the first six months of this financial year valued at R26, 9 billion and R329 billion worth of manufactured goods were exported in the same period
In common with its key trading partners, South Africa is experiencing a rise in inflation. Supply-chain disruptions experienced during the COVID-19 outbreak, the impact of generous fiscal packages in large economies, and the effect that the war in the Ukraine has had on both the energy and food value-chains, all contribute to inflationary pressures. Rising inflation affects the poor in South Africa disproportionately since food purchases account for a relatively large proportion of these consumers’ monthly expenditure. Consequently, the dtic seeks to strike a careful balance when taking policy or programme decisions which support industrialisation and which may have an impact on poor consumers. In some cases, a trade-off is required and the Department considers all relevant factors in taking such decisions.
Industrialisation increases South Africa’s ability to manufacture a range of products and this ability often mitigates or reduces inflation, especially when global prices for a particular product are rising or when international value-chains are disrupted. The dtic responds to this need and the value of approvals in more than 300 projects approved by the dtic, IDC and NEF amounted to R12,6 billion in incentives disbursed in the first six months of the financial year. Projects are located in 23 of the 52 municipalities. 11 of these are from largely rural districts. Localisation is driven by the steel industry with contribution from motor vehicle parts, renewable energy components and poultry.
I draw the Honourable Member’s attention to the efforts by both the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Finance, dealing with greylisting.

Langa, Mr TM to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
What measures of intervention have been taken to ensure that more students’ residences are built in order to accommodate the thousands of students enrolled at the University of Zululand?
Reply:
1. To accommodate thousands of students enrolled at the University of Zululand, the Department of Higher Education and Training (the Department) has taken steps to ensure that the institution build more residences by undertaking of a feasibility. The feasibility study originally targeted the construction of 3500 beds at the institutions Kwa-Dlangewzwa Campus to eradicate student housing backlogs, and the Department is working closely with the institution to finalise the feasibility study.
2. In the short-term, the following measures and interventions were taken. This include the approval of a sum of R235 million from the previous approved funding enabling the institution to develop an immediate number of 783 beds at its KwaDlangezwa Campus while it’s finalising its feasibility study, and the contractor is currently onsite.
3. The long-term measures and interventions included the following: that the feasibility study should be redirected and focus on two campuses, namely the KwaDlangezwa and the Richards Bay Campuses as the study seeks to address the student housing backlogs at both KwaDlangezwa and the Richards Bay Campuses. One of the interventions seeks to balance the provision of beds by allocating 1500 beds at both campuses to accommodate students enrolled at the institution.
4. Once the feasibility study has been completed, the Department will work with the institution to determine a suitable funding approach to ensure that the institution builds more accommodation to ensure that most enrolled students are accommodated at the institution’s own accommodation facilities.

Cuthbert, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
(1)Whether, with regard to communications, media and marketing services contracts of the National Lottery Commission in the past three financial years, he will furnish Mr M J Cuthbert with (a) a list of service providers, (b) the nature of services provided, (c) the date when services were provided and (d) the total monetary value of each contract; (2) What supply chain management process was followed for the (a) tender, (b) preferred supplier, (c) treasury database and (d) single-source in respect of each specified contracts?
Reply:
The National Lotteries Commission has furnished me the following reply on their communications, media and marketing services in the past three years.
A number of transactions of the NLC have been flagged by the Auditor General. This follows a letter addressed by the Ministry to the Auditor General, drawing attention to findings of the SIU.
The NLC advised that the adverse findings made by the Auditor-General will be investigated and disciplinary steps taken. I have requested the NLC to update me on the progress of the investigation and disciplinary steps taken.
The reply from the NLC follows:
“(1)(a),(b),(c),(d) and (2)(a),(b),(c),(d)
Please refer to the tables below for a list of service providers, the nature of the services provided, date when the services were provided, the total monetary value and the Supply Chain Management process that was followed.
Sole supplier and single source were used in instances where the NLC was targeting a specific audience and when there was one service provider running a campaign to which the NLC wanted to participate in. These transactions have since been declared as irregular expenditure by the AGSA on the basis that it was not impractical for the NLC to obtain three quotations for those below R500 000 and that the transactions above R500 000 should have been procured through competitive bidding process or deviation approved by the National Treasury and not by the Commissioner. The NLC is currently undertaking a determination exercise on these transactions as required by the National Treasury framework, disciplinary steps will be taken against all that have been found to be in contravention of the supply chain regulations
Tender relates to the transactions which have been procured through the marketing panel that the NLC procured after following a competitive bidding process.
Treasury database relates to the transactions that were procured through sourcing quotations from the Central Supplier Database.

Paulsen, Mr N M to ask the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment
(1) Considering that the organised land invasions at the forestry plantations in Grabouw and the inability of her department to prevent this from taking place, has led to the sites no longer being viable for forestry activities and her department having to hand them back to the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, what is the closet estimate of both the (a) direct and (b) indirect jobs that have been lost as a result of the organised land invasions at the specified sites; (2) whether there are any similar sites in the Grabouw area where her department will be able to replicate the same scale of production and economic opportunity that has been lost on the invaded sites; if not, what is the position in this regard; what are the relevant details; (3) whether her department will provide all relevant information and evidence in their possession to the SA Police Service in terms of their new investigation into organisers of the land invasions as per case 1/09/2022 registered at the Grabouw Police Station; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Zondo, Mr S S to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
What are the details of improved measures that his department has implemented to ensure that the (a) contextual and (b) institutional positions of universities are consistent despite the constantly changing nature of the Republic and that they are equipped to counter challenges that accompany the changes?
Reply:
The improved measures that the Department has implemented to support universities include increase in block grants, earmarked grants, and growth in funding for their NSFAS students. Furthermore, all universities are allocated funds annually through the University Capacity Development earmarked grant to implement programmes that focus on areas of need that must be addressed. The same grant provides an opportunity for universities to collaborate in the implementation of programmes where there are common challenges in areas of teaching, research, and curriculum development.
In addition, the Department established the Sibusiso Bengu-Development Programme (SB-DP) to address the inequalities that have impacted the development and sustainability of the Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDIs). The SB-DP has been developed to support capacity development in seven strategic priority areas, i.e. institutional management governance; institutional infrastructure and facilities; student experience, staff development and support; the academic enterprise; research and innovation; and relationships and partnerships.

Madokwe, Ms P to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
With reference to the many corruption cases which have been closed for various reasons including the inability to locate key witnesses, what key strategies has his department put in place to have perpetrators brought to book in order to discourage continued widespread corruption in his department?
Reply:
1. the dtic does not have any reported corruption cases that have been closed due to the inability to locate key witnesses.
2. the dtic recognises fraud prevention as an integral part of strategic management. the dtic is committed to the elimination of fraud and strives towards maintaining and implementing the highest standard of prevention and detection. the dtic prevents fraud through implementing the following strategies:
a) Prevention Strategy –
- the dtic has implemented a fraud and corruption email hotline address [email protected] which is on the dtic’s website.
- Fraud Awareness Training: Employees in the department and provided with Fraud prevention training.
- Assessment of Fraud Risks: The Office of the Chief Risk Officer (OCRO) within the dtic, conducts annual risk assessments to identify potential fraud risks based on the risk profile of the Department.
- Internal Control: Internal controls are the first line of defence against fraud and are essential elements in the overall anti-fraud prevention strategy. the dtic promotes an internal control culture through the mapping of business processes to ensure that controls are built in, regular communication on ethics and ethical behaviour in the performance of daily activities, implementation of additional controls to prevent any fraud risks, and forensic investigations where required.
- Pre-Employment Screening: Screening is an effective means of preventing fraud such as falsifying qualifications or employment history, as well as previous criminal convictions for offences.
- Disclosure of interests: All staff members are required to disclose their financial interests on an annual basis. Failure to disclose fully incurs disciplinary action.
- Approval of Other Remunerative Work Outside Public Service: All staff are reminded, via regular communications and newsflashes, to obtain prior written approval of other remunerative work outside the Public Service in terms of Section 30(1) of the Public Service Act. Failure to obtain such approval incurs disciplinary action.
- Reviewing systems and procedures: When fraud is detected it is referred to the dtic’s Internal Audit unit for an investigation and recommendation of action. the dtic re-assesses the adequacy of the internal control environment and actively plans and implements improvements where required. The instances of fraud are received either through the whistle blowers hotline, National Anti-Corruption hotline or by management.
- Whistle Blowers protection: Individuals are encouraged to come forward with any information without fear of victimisation as the dtic has institutionalised the protection afforded to whistle blowers by the Protected Disclosures Act by approving its own Whistle Blowing Policy.
(b) Detection Strategy: Despite the existence of fraud prevention programmes, fraud may still occur. An anti-fraud reporting facility via the Presidential hotline and Whistle Blower’s line complements and underpins the commitment of the dtic to fighting fraud.
(c) Response Strategy -
-
- Disciplinary Action: Subsequent to a full investigation, the dtic takes disciplinary action in all cases where warranted. Any member of staff found guilty of dishonesty or fraud will be considered to have committed a serious disciplinary offence and will be dismissed.
- Recovery of money or property lost through fraud: the dtic will actively pursue the recovery of money or property lost through fraud and will refer the matter for criminal prosecution.
(d) Forensic Investigation -
- In the event that fraud is detected or suspected, the matter is fully investigated by Internal Audit Forensic Investigators.
- All fraud cases are tabled, discussed and monitored at the Pre-Risk Committee.
- All fraud cases are referred to SAPS for further prosecution.
- The findings of the SIU investigation of the National Lotteries Commission (NLC), have been prioritised and is being addressed as recommended in the SIU report. In addition, a fraud and corruption hotline has been created and placed on the NLC website to enable anonymous reporting by the public, of fraud and corruption at the NLC. This hotline is managed by the dtic, independently from the NLC.
(e) Anti-Corruption Unit and measures in progress: An Anti-Corruption unit within the dtic is in the process of being capacitated with the objective of intense focus on anti-fraud and corruption initiatives and measures across the dtic group, inclusive of all public entities reporting into the dtic.

Pambo, Mr V to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
What are the full details of economic data and/or evidence that he can provide to prove that foreign direct investment in the Republic has had a direct proportional relationship with (a) economic growth and (b) job creation (i) in the 2021 22 financial year and (ii) since 1 April 2022?
Reply:
Domestic economic growth is the aggregation of multiple, complex streams of for example: production, consumption, expenditure, imports and exports. These are in turn affected by a wide range of domestic and global factors. It is not advisable to reduce these complex interactions to a simple direct and/or proportional relationship. Subject to this caution, the following information has been provided to me by the dtic.
In the Financial year 2021-22, Foreign direct investment (FDI), measured as investment liability inflows by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), increased from R17.3 billion at the beginning of the 2021/22 financial year to R39.9bn at the end of the financial year, growing by 130.8% during the 2021/22 financial year. In the same period, GDP grew by 1.3%, from R4.5 trillion (tr) to R4.6trn during the same period. Some studies indicate that in South Africa, FDI and economic growth are positively related (Masipa, 2014[1]; Awolusi and Adeyeye, 2016[2]; Makhoba and Zungu, 2021[3]).
In Quarter 1 2022/23 (April to June 2022), FDI declined (-34.2%) quarter-on-quarter while economic growth contracted (-0.7%) quarter-on-quarter.
Regarding Job creation, in the Financial year 2021/22: Foreign direct investment (FDI), measured as investment liability inflows, by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), increased from R17.3 billion at the beginning of the 2021/22 financial year to R39.9bn at the end of the financial year, growing by 130.8% during the 2021/22 financial year. During the same period, Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) reported that employment contracted by 0.2%, with employment declining from 14.94 million to 14.91 million. Some empirical studies have found a positive relationship between FDI and job creation in South Africa (see Masipa, 2014).
Quarter 1 of this Financial Year 2022/23, Employment increased by 4% quarter-on-quarter while FDI declined (-34.2%) quarter-on-quarter.
Lags in an increase (or decrease) in investment and a subsequent increase (or decrease) in employment may also not follow in the same year, but may lag the change.

Msimang, Prof CT to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
In view of the criminal justice reforms in the National Development Plan (NDP) and other reviews spanning the past 15 years that have not been implemented, what are the reasons that a member of the Executive has not yet been appointed to co-ordinate and manage implementation of the Seven-Point Plan in the 2007 Criminal Justice Review that was adopted by the Cabinet and reiterated in the NDP?
Reply:
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is currently accountable for the overall delivery of the IJS Programme, and accounts for the entire IJS budget. The newly revised IJS governance arrangements seek to clarify and strengthen the roles of the Director-General (DG) as the accounting officer of the programme, and that of the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services as the executive authority of the program.
The IJS Board has been reconfigured into an IJS Implementation Committee which is accountable to the CJS Directors-General. The formation of the IJS Board of DGs has offered an opportunity for the JCPS Directors-General to provide oversight and strategic leadership over this important transformation project as JCPS management collective. The formation of the IJS Ministerial Committee (IJSMC) provides political oversight and direction of the whole IJS Programme. The Committee comprises of the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services as the Convenor, Minister of Police, Minister of Social Development and Minister of Home Affairs.

Langa, Mr TM to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
What (a) has he found are the main causes of water shortages in the cities of (i) Johannesburg and (ii) Tshwane and (b) action has he and/or his department taken to deal with the specified water shortages?
Reply:
Several negative factors occurred simultaneously in Gauteng, which resulted in the recent supply problems. These included:
Severe load shedding affected the ability of both Rand Water and Joburg Water to pump water into their reservoirs. This resulted in the water levels in the reservoirs being too low to gravity-feed water to high-lying areas. As a result, a number of high-lying areas were without water for prolonged periods.
A heat water wave which resulted in increased watering of gardens by residents. In addition, the summer rains arrived late, meaning that residents did not swich off their sprinkler systems as they usually do when the summer rains start. These factors combined to result in a spike in water demand. This spike in water demand also made it difficult for the reservoirs to be filled adequately.
Both Rand Water and Joburg Water experienced several electrical and mechanical failures, which also contributed to the difficulty in filling the reservoirs. Some of these failures may have been a result of damage to equipment caused by the frequent load shedding. Two of Rand Water’s purification plants, namely, Zuikerbosh and Vereeniging as well as two major pumps stations (Palmiet and Eikenhof) supplying large parts of the city were affected by power failures. The equipment has since been repaired.
Rand Water’s operating philosophy is to maintain the reservoir levels between 60-80%. This targeted range is intended to enable the system to be resilient and respond to any challenges. Historically, during September to January, water consumption increases exponentially in Gauteng. It was with this understanding that Rand Water wrote to the high consumers, i.e. City of Tshwane, City of Johannesburg, and City of Ekurhuleni; to encourage reduced consumption in anticipation of the increased demand for water.
Despite these efforts, water consumption continued to increase significantly, and Rand Water’s overall water storage declined from 52% to 38%. Stemming from this decline, a high-level meeting was convened with the Metros to notify them of the intention to apply Stage 1 restrictions. Despite these efforts, water storage levels continued to decline and that prompted Rand Water to apply Stage 2 restrictions. The heatwave also informed the decision to escalate from Stage 1 to 2. The restrictions are necessary to stabilize the system and are aimed at restoring the overall reservoir storage capacity to 60%.
The Department is in the process of temporarily increasing the allocation of water to Rand Water from the Vaal River System, to ensure that the availability of raw water does not become a constraint to Rand Water’s ability to provide treated water during this difficult period.

Weber, Ms AMM to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
(1) How will he assist the community of Doornkop in the Steve Tshwete Local Municipality in Mpumalanga, who lack service delivery of water and are in serious need for boreholes as there is no infrastructure. (2) whether he will intervene as the existing bore holes cannot meet the demand as the supply is not enough to provide water to the entire area and occupants are connecting pipes to the main supply water line and they use all the water before it reaches the community; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) on what date and (b) how; (3) whether he has been informed that on 19 September 2020 a notice was going to be delivered to those occupiers of Doornkop that illegally connected to the borehole and /or main supply; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) was the notice served, (b) will he furnish Ms A M M Weber with a copy of the notice and (c) how will he ensure that the notice will be enforced; (4) whether he intends to assist the Steve Tshwete Local Municipality to have a security company to take guard over the pump station and borehole area where the illegalities are taking place in order for the community to have access to their basic human right to water; if not, why not; if so, what process needs to be followed?
Reply:
1) It should be noted that Doornkop is illegally occupied as the land is owned by Doornkop Communal Property Association (CPA). The area is not yet formalised by the municipality as it is still subject to a land claim. The area is supplied with water through six boreholes which are utilized as the main water source. However, one borehole is not operational due to vandalism. The municipality is in the process of fixing the borehole and is supplementing water supplies through water tankering.
2) The municipality has intervened by providing thirty-five water storage tanks that are servicing Doornkop Village, the tanks are placed in strategic areas across the Doornkop Village. The municipality has seven water tankers that are allocated to supply water to Doornkop Village daily to supplement the boreholes.
3) The municipality is not aware of any notice that was circulated on19 September 2020. On 22 September 2021 the municipality arranged a stakeholder engagement meeting with the community including political parties to try and address the issue of illegal connections through public engagement.
The Municipality officials with the support of the former Member Mayoral Council (MMC) for infrastructure Mr Johannes Matshiane were chased away by the community. The community clearly indicated that they will not allow the municipality to disconnect those who are illegally connected as they need water in their yards not from communal standpipes or tankers. The municipality has put on hold their long term plans due to the pending litigation of the land dispute by the CPA.
4) The existing infrastructure which are boreholes are secured, they are equipped with locks and cannot be tampered with. Currently, the municipality has no intention of hiring security personnel as this is a privately owned land and this would require permission from the CPA.

Siwisa, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy
Considering that mining companies are demolishing houses in Merafong City Local Municipality instead of donating such houses to the community, due to the shortage of residential availability, what are the reasons that he is allowing this to happen instead of donating houses to the Department of Human Settlements in order to deal with the shortage of houses?
Reply:
Sibanye Stillwater has a mining right for Driefontein operations which is located within the Merafong Local Municipal jurisdiction. The mine has four (4) mining villages under this mining right namely; Letsatsing, Phomolong, East village and West village. These villages comprise of approximately 1 367 housing units collectively currently occupied by the mine employees. The mine is currently negotiating with the Merafong Local Municipality (“MCLM”) to donate its mining village’s under Driefontein operations to the Municipality. These villages are earmarked for demolishing if they are not taken over by the local authority and be incorporated into the municipality’s Spatial Development Framework (SDF) and formalised.
The mine has only demolished houses it deems to be posing serious danger to locals as these houses may be unsafe for occupation and or may harbour criminals and criminal activities. These are mostly houses that have been vandalised and or illegally occupied by amongst others illegal miners.

Buthelezi, Ms SA to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
Following reports that the residents of the Amathole District Municipality, which includes the towns Peddie, Stutterheim, Kei Mouth and Haga Haga have been without water for weeks, and noting that the water issues are due to a lack of maintenance, whilst the specified municipality has not spent the allocated funds (details furnished) set aside for maintenance and infrastructure repairs, what intervening steps does he intend to take to (a) assist the municipality to (i) spend the allocated funds for maintenance and (ii) perform maintenance on ageing infrastructure and (b) avoid a water crisis as a result of ageing infrastructure?
Reply:
Amathole District Municipality (ADM) is receiving the Water Services Infrastructure Grant (WSIG), Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG) and the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) to implement water services infrastructure development projects within their area of jurisdiction for accessibility of water and sanitation services and to reduce backlogs.
RBIG and WSIG are administered by the Department of Water and Sanitation and MIG is administered by the Department of Cooperative Governance.
In terms of section 227 of the Constitution, local government is entitled to an equitable share of national revenue to enable it to provide basic services and perform its allocated functions. The local government equitable share is an unconditional transfer that supplements the revenue that municipalities can raise themselves (including revenue raised through property rates and service charges). The equitable share provides funding for municipalities to deliver free basic services indigents and subsidises the cost of administration and other core services for those municipalities with the least potential to cover these costs from their own revenues.
The operations and maintenance of water services infrastructure is the responsibility of the Municipalities and should be funded by the equitable share and the revenue that the Municipalities can raise.
Recent challenges across this municipality have been as a result of labour issues which were resolved about two weeks ago. This we believe this will ensure full operations of the systems across the district.
During the 2021/22 financial year the DWS allocated a total of R 172,2 million funding through RBIG and WSIG to the ADM, as follows:

ADM applied to National Treasury for a rollover of the unspent WSIG allocation to the amount of R49,5 million. National Treasury did not approve the rollover application as the Municipality did not meet the set criteria in terms of section 21(2) of the 2021 Division of Revenue Amendment Act, (Act No. 17 of 2021).
During the 2022/23 financial year, a total revised allocation of R 172,2 million funding was allocated by DWS through RBIG and WSIG to the ADM, as follows:

(a) What amount of strategic fuel stock is currently held by (i) his department and/or (ii) private entities, (b) in what form is the stock held and (c) what actions have been taken and/or contemplated to ensure that a security of supply of refined petroleum products is sufficient to meet the demand of the market in the Republic as it is experiencing a perfect storm with regard to refined petroleum products, arising from inadequate port infrastructure, ongoing strike action and labour issues in the ports, failure to have any kind of strategic reserve of refined products and a shortage of refining capacity due to the closure of various refineries?
Reply:
a) The Strategic Fuel Fund (SFF) until recently held (i) 10, 023 million barrels (Ten Million and 23 Thousand barrels) of strategic stocks on behalf of the state.
The current stock is down by approximately 0,3 million barrels ( 300, 000 barrels). Approximately 300 000 barrels was recently sold to Total-energies for processing at the Natref refinery. The sale followed a force majeure that had been declared by the Nigerian supplier to Total-energies.
(ii) Private entities keep commercial stock to cater for their share of the petroleum market.
b) The stock held by SFF is in crude oil form
c) SFF is implementing a strategy of developing and accessing infrastructure at import terminals and primary depots closer to the market. This will allow SFF to respond to Security of Supply disruptions and ensure availability of emergency stock of finished products. SFF has purchased a primary depot in Cape Townthat will provide open access to third parties to store their fuels. This will ensure that there is diversity of suppliers in the market place and therefore minimise supply risk.
