The SA Reserve Bank is the authority responsible for the supervision of banks and mutual banks in terms of the FIC Act and has provided the following response:

1. Information pertaining to the administrative sanctions imposed on VBS Mutual Bank for its non-compliance with the FIC Act was set out in the SARB’s media statement published on 4 August 2017. For the ease of reference, the details as per the media statement have been set out below:

“The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has imposed administrative sanctions on VBS Mutual Bank (VBS) for non-compliance with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001, as amended (FIC Act) and has directed VBS to take remedial action. This was after the SARB conducted an inspection in terms of the FIC Act and found weaknesses in VBS’s anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism control measures.

The FIC Act mandates the SARB to ensure that banks have adequate controls in place to combat acts of money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Flowing from these responsibilities, the SARB inspects banks to assess whether they have appropriate measures in place as required by the FIC Act.

It should be noted that the administrative sanctions were not imposed because VBS was found to have facilitated transactions involving money laundering or the financing of terrorism but because of weaknesses in VBS’s control measures.

The administrative sanctions imposed on VBS are a financial penalty of R2.5 million and a directive to take remedial action in the following areas:

i) identifying and verifying customers’ details (better known as know-your-customer or KYC requirements);

ii) failure to comply with cash threshold reporting requirements in terms of section 28 of the FIC Act;

iii) failure to formulate and implement adequate processes and working methods to detect and report property associated with terrorist and related activities in terms of section 28A of the FIC Act.

iv) failure to formulate and implement adequate processes and working methods which would enable VBS to detect and report suspicious and unusual transactions in terms of section 29 of the FIC Act.

However, R2 million of the financial penalty is suspended, in terms of section 45C(4)(c) of the FIC Act, for a period of one (1) year from 7 June 2017, subject to VBS adhering to certain conditions imposed by the SARB.”

VBS was directed to implement several remedial measures to rectify the identified areas of non-compliance by no later than 31 December 2017. VBS subsequently submitted a request to extend the aforementioned implementation date until 31 December 2019. However, after having duly considering the request for an extension received from VBS, the SARB granted an extension in the implementation date until 31 December 2018.

2. The inspection report contained timelines for the remediation of all FIC Act non-compliance matters which had been identified during the inspection. VBS was directed to implement the appropriate remedial measures to rectify AML/CFT non-compliance by no later than 31 December 2017 (subsequently extended until 31 December 2018 as detailed in the response to question 1).

3. VBS was required to provide the SARB with the quarterly update reports on the progress made with the implementation of the specified remedial measures. VBS submitted progress reports dated 31 March 2017, 20 November 2017 and 31 January 2018. The SARB reviewed the aforementioned reports and provided VBS with feedback where necessary.

(a)(i)(ii) Table 1 shows the allocations to the Northern Cape province and municipalities in that province, as well as allocations to each of the other 8 provinces over the last five financial years. This information is published annually in the Division of Revenue Bill, available at www.treasury.gov.za.

Table 1: Provincial and local government allocations in the Division of Revenue, 2014/15 – 2018/19

(b) Table 2 shows allocations for Namakwa District Municipality and Richtersveld Local Municipality over the past five financial years. The provincial allocations for these municipalities were obtained from the Vulindlela system that captures provincial spending and includes geographic locators for some spending. However some spending that benefits the province as a whole (including these municipalities) will not be included in these numbers. This data should therefore be treated as the minimum amount that was allocated to be spent in these municipalities by the Northern Cape Province.

Local government allocations are taken from the annual Division of Revenue Bill, available at www.treasury.gov.za. The allocations shown for Namakwa District Municipality include allocations for the district municipality as well as all of the local municipalities in the district.

On the 9 August, following the recommendation from the Registrar of Banks, the Minister placed the Venda Building Society (VBS) Mutual Bank under curatorship as a consequence of the bank being unable to honour its financial commitments. Government’s primary focus is to protect ordinary retail depositors. The curatorship process is still in progress, including a forensic investigation. Following an initial report from the curator, government has already provided a guarantee to the South African Reserve Bank amounting to R336 million to facilitate the repayment of all retail deposits up to R100 000 per retail depositor, starting from Friday, 13 July 2018. Retail deposits are defined as deposits in VBS by individuals, burial societies, stokvels and savings clubs, collectively referred to as retail depositors. The guarantee does not cover municipal or corporate deposits.

Details of the qualifying depositors and modalities of payment of retail depositors can be found in Annexure A[1]. The Government will only make a final decision on further steps to take on VBS Mutual Bank once the curator and forensic investigators have submitted a further substantive report.

Beyond rescuing ordinary depositors outlined above, there are therefore no plans to rescue VBS Mutual Bank from liquidation.

A certain person (name furnished), (applicant) applied for the funeral benefit in respect of the death of the member, (name furnished), during June 2017. At that time there was insufficient evidence submitted to support the application to be recognized as the life partner of (name furnished) and the accompanying related benefits. The applicant was requested to resubmit her application for recognition of a life partner which resubmitted application was received in March 2018. This application however erroneously indicated that (the applicant) was the child of the deceased in which case the applicant cannot be recognized as the life partner.

It was hereafter established that this was an error as applicant was not the child of the deceased. There were however still insufficient and supporting evidence from the family of the deceased to corroborate the existence of the life partnership as the evidence submitted purported to substantiate the factual dependency of the applicant only due to the family of the deceased not wishing to provide verification of the existence of a life partnership. As a result of the conflicting accounts, the matter was submitted to the internal Fraud Unit of the Government Pensions Administration Agency to validate the existence of the life partnership between the applicant and the deceased. The validation investigation was concluded on 3 September 2018 and payment in this matter in recognition of the life partnership application is currently in process.

The South African Revenue Services has a mandate to control the import, export, manufacture or use of goods. SARS Customs is responsible for implementing a wide range of government policies, including revenue collection, trade compliance and facilitation, control over prohibited and restricted goods, protection of cultural heritage and enforcement of intellectual property laws. 

This mandate is inter alia exercised by the risk based assessment and examination (documentary and/or physical) of goods to ascertain whether the provisions of the Customs and Excise Act No. 91 of 1964, (‘the Act”) or other relevant legislation have been complied with. In this regard, the Act makes provision in section 4(8A) for an officer to stop and detain and examine any goods while under customs control in order to determine whether the provisions of the Act or any other law have been complied with in respect of such goods. Section 107(1)(a) of the Act further provides that all expenses of landing, examination, weighing, analysis etc. of imported goods shall be borne by the importer,  owner or other person , whoever is in control of those goods. The Act further provides in terms of section 107(2)(a)  that goods may be released  on provision of security by the client, pending the final outcome of an intervention.  

This policy position is also internationally applied in the customs legislation of other jurisdictions and is very much aligned to acceptable international practice. In instances where the goods are not dealt with in terms of section 107, such goods are transferred to the state warehouse pending the final outcome of the intervention.

All Customs declarations are submitted through automated channels and risk assessed based on a variety of factors that may include commodity type (tariff), value, origin, rebate provisions etc. In this regard, more than 90% of all trade are automatically risk-assessed and released within seconds. The balance is subjected to documentary inspection where the officer will consider the customs declaration against a variety of trade documents in order to establish correctness and any further possible risks or interpretive matters to be considered. This may lead to further physical examination of the goods.

This process does often result in goods for a particular trader being stopped repetitively over a period of time, and accordingly, SARS was approached by trade to explore improved resolution where the importer/exporter, supplier and commodity type is the same. Formal communication was sent to trade during October 2016, outlining a process through which the client can attach supporting documents reflecting outcomes of previous identical cases for documentary inspection purposes. Customs, at the time, committed to consider and review such supporting documents in their approach to mitigate perceived risk which will assist in reducing the likelihood of an intervention that may require physical inspection. This process is being utilised successfully by most traders today, and although documentary inspection do increase the time to release goods, in most cases this process is concluded within 4 hours after trade submits supporting documents. It is to be noted that there are infrequent incidents where goods are stopped for further examination despite the supporting documentation submitted.

In instances where a trader is uncertain of the correct tariff, value or origin to use on the goods being imported or exported, such trader may apply for a firm determination from SARS. A process, which commenced in May 2018, geared at eradicating the historical tariff determination backlogs resulted in related delays been eliminated. Goods subject to tariff disputes may be cleared with SARS following the section 107 route.

Further to this, SARS Customs is in the process of upgrading its risk systems to the effect that it will provide necessary tools to inspectors to enhance their decision making capabilities and reduce unnecessary and repetitive stops.

Clients who experience delays as a result of this can also contact the Customs Contact Centre or e-mail their query to the Customs Escalations mailbox for assistance. Customs further provides a facility for a Client to apply for Release and provide surety pending the final outcome of an intervention.

In addition to this, in acknowledging the opportunities to improve service, SARS have published a Client Charter which holds SARS accountable against its commitments in processing times and resolving queries within published timeframes.

The four disputes were initiated in 2017, the last initiated in 2018. Only the fifth has been resolved by way of settlement of four months’ salary. The monetary value of the settlement figure was R117 859.72

(1)(a)(ii) The Office of the Pension Funds Adjudicator currently has two unresolved labour disputes whose details are as follows:

1. Labour Court: Mr M v OPFA and others JR2285/15

On 4 August 2015, Mr M was dismissed by the OPFA for poor performance (having followed a poor performance process). Mr M referred an unfair dismissal dispute to the CCMA, alleging his dismissal was procedurally and substantively unfair.

The CCMA found that Mr M dismissal was fair and issued an arbitration award to this effect. Mr M then applied to the Labour Court to have the arbitration award reviewed and set aside. Whilst the pleading stage in the matter is closed, the matter has not yet been set down for hearing.

The OPFA has very good prospects of being successful in the review application.

1. Unfair dismissal – CCMA case no. GATW9446-18

A former Admin Assistant, Ms M was dismissed in July 2018 due to excessive usage of the OPFA’s telephone for her private and/or personal use. Ms M referred a dispute to the CCMA alleging her dismissal was unfair.

The dismissal was effected following several warnings of misconduct to Ms M for similar misdemeanours, the last of which was a final written warning in September 2017.

In addition, in December 2017 a meeting was held with all staff and employees were specifically warned about excessive usage of the work telephone for private/personal reasons. The conduct from the employee did not stop and excessive usage was once more noticed for the months after the meeting in December 2017. At her disciplinary hearing held in April 2018, the employee pleaded guilty to the misconduct and the chairperson therefore recommended dismissal as the appropriate sanction.

Conciliation was held on 6 August 2018 but the matter could not be conciliated. The matter is now awaiting arbitration proceedings at the CCMA. No date has been provided for these arbitration proceedings.

The OPFA anticipates that it has very good prospects of being successful in defending the arbitration proceedings.

Bonds issued by Eskom in which the PIC has invested through a public auction, form part of the Domestic Multi-Term Note Programme (DMTNP) which is registered with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). The documentation pertaining to these bonds are publicly available. However, the PIC did two private placement transactions with Eskom, one for R20 billion in May 2015 and one for R5 billion in February 2018. The R20 billion private placement is split into four tranches of R5 billion each, of notes maturing between March 2020 and March 2032. The R5 billion private placement was a short-term (one month) bridging facility that was paid back with interest of approximately R30 million, on 1 March 2018. The agreements for these two private placement transactions are confidential and cannot be made public.

No powers vest in the Minister of Finance in relation to operational elements of curatorship, including the movement assets and liabilities of VBS. These powers are conferred onto the curator in terms of section 54 of the Banks Act (1990).

(1) On the 21 August 30, 2018 the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) wrote to the Chair of the Standing Committee on Finance (SCOF) advising him of the manner, basis and modalities of the transfer of depositors from the now defunct VBS to a facilitator bank (Nedbank) to allow for the access of retail deposits.

The purpose of this response is to provide the SCOF with more granular detail pertaining to the criteria applied in the selection process as well as relevant extracts from the curator’s report titled ‘Resolution Plan: Liquidity for Retail Depositors’ dated 31 May 2018.

Following the recommendation of the Registrar of Banks’, the Minister of Finance placed VBS under curatorship, in terms of section 69 of the Banks Act 94 of 1990 read with section 81 of the Mutual Banks Act 124 of 1993, on 11 March 2018. The curator’s subsequent assessment of VBS’s financial position revealed that the bank is not in a position to fully repay its depositors.

The SARB agreed, after consultation with the Minister of Finance, to fund the repayment of certain deposits due by VBS, namely those of its retail depositors up to R100 000 per retail depositor. This amount is in line with the amount that will be covered under the envisaged explicit deposit insurance scheme which National Treasury intends to introduce into the legislative process.

In agreeing to fund the repayment of these retail depositors, the purpose of the SARB and National Treasury was to alleviate hardship and prevent losses to the most vulnerable of VBS’s depositors, being the ordinary retail depositors. These depositors, in the main, comprise of individuals, stokvels and burial societies.

The above-mentioned repayment scheme that the SARB has embarked on in no manner affects the legal dispensation pertaining to the assets and liabilities of VBS; these remain materially unchanged and part of VBS. The SARB paid the amounts owing to the retail depositors on a purely ex gratia basis.

As the agreed arrangement was designed to assist only the retail depositors (up to the agreed level), it was critical that this process was done in such a way that neither VBS nor any of its creditors and / or shareholders acquired any legal right or claim to the amount made available – otherwise the other creditors and / or shareholders would have been entitled to share proportionately in the amount made available. That would have defeated the objective of protecting the most vulnerable customers of the bank.

It was for this reason that the SARB utilised the services of another bank, being Nedbank, to effect payment of the amounts due to the VBS retail depositors covered by the guarantee issued by government. This was achieved by the SARB depositing R257 million with Nedbank for the purpose of effecting payments to 17 380 retail depositors of VBS. In return, these retail depositors agreed to cede to the SARB all their rights and title to their claims against VBS, up to the amount they had received from Nedbank acting on behalf of the SARB.

The VBS retail depositors have one of the following options; the choice is completely at the discretion of each depositor:

• Withdraw all the funds at any ATM or Nedbank branch.

 

• Transfer all the funds to another bank account with any bank in the Republic of South Africa.

• Retain the funds in the Nedbank accounts and use the associated debit card to make payments as and when necessary.

(2) (3) As mentioned at the SCOF meeting on 15 August 2018, at a high level, two major factors were considered when making the decision to use Nedbank to facilitate the repayment of VBS’s guaranteed retail depositors, namely:

• • the location of the branches of the institutions which were being considered; and

• • the costs, specifically the bank fees, which the VBS retail depositors would incur.

The curator recommended to the SARB that the guaranteed depositor funds be urgently made available to the depositors. Given the legal implications associated with VBS, it was not possible to allocate the guaranteed funds to any of the VBS branches. The curator therefore undertook an exercise to consider other institutions which could be utilised for the purpose of facilitating the payment of the guaranteed retail deposits.

Various objective factors were considered in the decision-making process. These included the following:

• proximity of the institution’s branches to VBS branches;

• the lowest service fees on recommended products;

• similar product offerings to the customers;

• whether the selected financial institution was a registered bank; and

• speed of execution.

The information considered when deciding on the bank that would be used to facilitate payment to the retail depositors has been extracted from the aforementioned curator’s report, and has been enclosed hereto as Annexure A.

 

It is also important to note that the VBS retail depositors covered under the guarantee issued by government are not, in any way, compelled to retain the Nedbank accounts which were used to facilitate the repayment of the guaranteed retail deposits. Nedbank is essentially only a medium through which VBS customers can access their monies with minimum disruption.

Careful consideration was also given to depositor behaviour, costs to the depositors, and the looming crisis of depositors sleeping outside VBS branches.

The decision to use Nedbank was not in any way contrary to any SARB policies for the procurement of services.

The Department of Energy (DoE) approached the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Unit (now within the Government Technical Advisory Centre (GTAC)) of the National Treasury during 2010 for technical assistance in the procurement of new generation capacity from the private sector. This involved support in designing an appropriate procurement process, which was done by the DoE and PPP unit in consultation with the National Energy Reguation of South African (NERSA), Eskom, the Departments of Environmental Affairs, Water Affairs, Trade and Industry, Economic Development, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Presidency. The PPP Unit also provided assistance in regard to planning, modeling of different technologies, and the design of the government support programme in the form of power purchase agreements. The Request for Proposals was developed and launched on 3 August 2011.

Support for the procurement programme was also provided by the Development Bank of Southern Africa, which is responsible for its day-to-day office activities. It is funded through a development fee paid by successful bidders at financial close into a Project Development Fund for alternative energy located in GTAC, an Agency of the National Treasury.

The following data on tax revenue is available on the National Treasury website and is based on data published in past documents like the annual Budget Review and Tax Statistics (also available on the National Treasury and SARS websites).

Historical tax revenue collections are published each year in the statistical annexure of the Budget Review. The latest data for the fiscal years from 2000/01 onwards can be found on pages 192 to 195 of the 2018 Budget Review. In order to cover the full period requested, Budget Review tables from 2011 to 2018 were consulted, all of which are available on our website. Using this source, the table below shows the breakdown of tax revenue across the three main components of personal income tax, corporate income tax and value-added tax since the 1993/94 fiscal year, alongside total tax revenue collections (in R 000’s).

1. Tax announcements are generally only made on Budget Day given the market sensitivity of such announcements. It will therefore not be appropriate to pre-empt the Budget process by making any announcement on any tax or levy before Budget Day. In preparing for the Budget, the National Treasury does review thresholds and rates for possible changes to be announced in the coming Budget.

2. I am not aware of what policy position the Honourable Member is referring to with regard to the skills levy or any formal requirement for small businesses to pay higher increases and salaries. I would welcome any further information on such requirements.

3. I only make any announcement on any changes to any threshold on Budget Day, to the extent that there are any such changes.

(1) At the outset it should be noted that the loan amount was R5 billion and not R50 billion and the loan was paid back on 1 March 2018 with interest of approximately R30 million which accrued to the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF).

Similar to all other investments the loan to Eskom was subjected to the PIC’s investment processes, which is set out below:

Mandates and Mandate Fit

The PIC’s investment decisions are informed by the provisions of mandates entered into between the PIC and its clients. These mandates are approved by the FSB and, amongst others, they prescribe strategic asset allocations and the asset classes in which the PIC can invest, the risk parameters as well as portfolio limits, with the ultimate objective of generating sustainable returns for the clients on whose behalf the PIC invests.

It is a requirement that any transaction funded by the PIC should fit the mandate and any investment that is misaligned with the mandate cannot be funded. If a transaction fits the mandate, then it is subjected to a thorough due diligence process before an investment decision is taken.

Policies and Frameworks

All transactions are subject to various (Board-approved) PIC investment, compliance, risk and legal policies, as well as ESG frameworks, all of which are based on international best practice and are aligned with applicable legislation and regulations. The PIC also has an approved DOA Framework in place, delegating responsibilities for different transactions to a variety of role-players in the investment divisions (i.e. Listed, Unlisted and Property Investments), as well as to employees in Risk Management, Legal, Compliance, Corporate Affairs and Investment Support. The DOA also outlines the powers of the Board, as well as the committees of the Board and those of the Executive Directors.

Transaction Approval Process and Due Diligence

Once a transaction is presented to the PIC, it goes through an initial screening process to establish that it fits the mandate, is commercially viable and falls within acceptable risk parameters. If it meets these requirements, it is tabled at a Portfolio Management Committee (PMC) to seek authorisation to conduct due diligence. This committee is chaired by an Executive Director, and its members include a mix of Executive Heads of Divisions as well as other members of Senior Management.

The PMCs comprise of PMC Unlisted (for all transactions not listed on the stock exchange); PMC Listed (for all transactions listed on the stock exchange); and PMC Property Investments (that deal with real estate investments). Once the initial due diligence process has been concluded, the outcomes thereof are presented and discussed at a subsequent meeting of the respective PMC. Should the PMC at the meeting resolve that a transaction is worth pursuing, the PMC will recommend that a detailed due diligence be undertaken.

A comprehensive due diligence (financial, commercial, operational, legal, technical, legal and regulatory, and ESG) is undertaken and terms and conditions of the proposed investment are negotiated with the counterparty. The due diligence is conducted by the PIC and where appropriate, external service providers.

Based on the outcomes of the due diligence, the PMC may either approve the transaction if it is within its approval limits in terms of the PIC’s DOA, or reject the transaction. Where the value of the transaction is beyond the PMC’s approval authority, the PMC recommends it to the next level of approval. Depending on the type of investment (listed, unlisted or properties), the next level of approval could be any of the following committees: Fund Investment Panels (FIPs) (sub-committees of the Investment Committee), the Investment Committee, and the Board.

Transactions which present any risks of an ESG or reputational nature are also scrutinised by the Social and Ethics Committee of the Board, focusing on the ethical aspects thereof, as well as sustainability matters. These Board committees are comprised of a majority of Independent Non-Executive Directors and are also chaired by Independent Non-Executive Directors.

(2)(a) All PIC policies, due diligence criteria and delegations of authority are reviewed on an anual basis and approved by the PIC Board.

(2)(b) The PIC’s investment process, policies, due diligence criteria and delegations of authority correspond with industry acceptable investment criteria, both locally as well as internationally.

(3) A due diligence was conducted on the R5 billion loan to Eskom. Further to this it is also important to note that this loan was backed by a Guarantee from National Treasury.

(4) The PIC’s reports on investment decisions are confidential and cannot be made public.

There are at least a 100 regionally based Local Government Sector Education and Training Authority accredited training providers listed on the National Treasury website to also support regional based training.

After extensive consultation processes, the Minister of Finance will promulgate an amendment to, amongst others, regulations 15 and 18 of the Municipal Minimum Competency Regulations, to allow all officials 18 months from date of appointment to obtain the relevant competency levels. It will be mandatory for all municipal councils to make the latter a condition of employment in the employment contracts of effected officials. These proposed amendments will be promulgated shortly.

Also included are state-owned entities, excluding the public corporations and other off-budget entities. On average national departments spent R0.9 billion over the last three years growing at an average of 9.6% per year, while provinces spent an average of R4.5 billion growing at 13% per year, and the public entities spent on average R1.4 billion growing at an average of 11.2% per year.

Total spent was R6.1 billion in 2015/16 rising to R7.65 billion in 2017/18. This is about 0.5% of total consolidated government spending.

Government’s principle is that, as far as possible, any financial support to SOCs should be done in a deficit-neutral manner (i.e. not lead to a widening of the deficit). This can be done through a combination of the sale of non-core assets, reprioritisation of spending, or other revenue measures. Nevertheless – as noted in the 2018 Budget Review – the SOC sector represents a major risk to the fiscal framework, and reforms are required to put these companies on a more sustainable footing. Part of the reform process will involve costing of developmental mandates, to provide government with a better understanding of the level of support required for non-commercial activities. Another part of the reform will require understanding how to bolster their commercial activities, through a combination of efficiency improvements and private sector participation. The budget process is currently under way. Any decisions around financial support to SOCs will be considered as part of this broader process, and be published in the 2018 MTBPS.

The fuel price is mainly affect by two conditions – local currency exchanges and the global oil prices. In the earlier part of the fiscal year up until May, increases in the international oil price have been the main drivers of local fuel price hikes. Since the start of June, international oil prices have moderated somewhat while the rand has steadily weakened against the US dollar, with the average cost of per dollar having climbed from around the R12.50/$ mark to roughly R13.50/$.

Increases in the price of petrol have the largest impact on departments whose services delivery mandates involve significant car travel, which accordingly to the 2018 Estimates of National Expenditure for inventory of fuel, oil and gas are the following departments: Police, Independent Police Investigative Directorate, Health, Correctional Services, as well as Defence and Military Veterans. Analysis of spending on goods and services by national and provincial departments between 2013/14 and 2016/17 shows that spending on fuel has continued to grow faster than CPI inflation. In addition to these baselines, departments do not receive additional funding when petrol prices rise, and must absorb the spending pressures within their budgets.

From a government revenue perspective, since the general fuel levy and Road Accident Fund levy are fixed annually per litre of petrol, increases in the fuel price do not have a direct impact. However, there might be an indirect impact if fewer of petrol are sold as a result of the higher price.
