What (a) are the reasons that the tenure of a certain official (name furnished) was extended earlier in 2019 and (b) was his response to legal action in this regard?

Reply:

a) The ACSA CEO was appointed with effect from 15 May 2013 for a period of five (5) years. His term of office lapsed on 14 May 2018, and it was extended with a six (6) months period ending on the 30th of November 2018. The Acting CEO was appointed with effect from 1 December 2018, for a period not exceeding six months or pending the finalization of the recruitment process of the new Managing Director or whichever comes first. Therefore, there is no extension granted to the CEO in 2019.

Mulder, Dr CP to ask the Minister of Transport

Whether he, with reference to the replies to question 2271 on 31 August 2017 and question 3332 on 22 November 2018, is now in a position to indicate whether a provincial member of the Executive Council has the authority to delegate the issuing of permits to permit offices and officials; if not, what steps will he take to correct the alleged malpractice; if so, on what legal basis does such a member of the Executive Council depend to implement the specified delegation of competencies?

Reply:

Yes, the provincial MECs have the authority in terms of section 91(2) to authority delegate to any other person any power conferred upon him or her by or under the National Road Traffic Act, 1996 (Act 93 of 1996). For the sake of ease of reference, I hereby quote section 91(2), which provides as follows

“91. Delegation by Minister and MEC

“(2) The MEC concerned may –

(a) delegate to any other person any power conferred upon him or her by or under this Act; and

(b) authorise any other person to perform any duty assigned to the MEC by or under this Act, and may effect such delegation or grant such authorisation subject to such conditions as he or she may deem fit.”

I am not aware of any alleged malpractices but should there be such, the measures to deal with those malpractices I would like to believe will be provided for in the aforesaid delegations.

(a) What measures have been put in place to deal with vandalism and destruction of rail infrastructure in each province, (b) on what date were the measures put in place in each case, (c)(i) what processes, procedures and mechanisms are in place to ensure that the measures are effective and (ii) how is this measured in each case and (d)(i) what is being planned in future in this regard and (ii) what are the time frames in this regard?

Reply:

a) In each region, security personnel are deployed to combat theft and vandalism.

In the four regions a total compliment of 3,060 protective service personnel have been deployed, supported by 3,578 external security service providers. In Cape Town, further reinforcement in the form of drones and forensic support have been added as part of a pilot project. This has proven successful and plans are afoot to roll out this project to Gauteng in the next financial year. Furthermore, in Cape Town, PRASA and the City of Cape Town have entered into a partnership to provide an additional 100 security personnel which is deployed in high risk areas. This is proving very effective. The initiative is funded by the City and PRASA.

b) The deployment of security personnel (in house and external) has been in place for a long time. The internal PRASA security and external service providers have been in place for over ten years. Security deployments are reviewed and re-assigned on a case by basis and all deployments are informed by security risks as they arise.

c) (i) All security deployments are reviewed monthly to evaluate effectiveness and the required changes effected to combat crime.

(ii) The measures are dependent on the security risks associated with the specific area.

d) (i) Security fencing, CCTV, alarms, fire detection and intrusion detection for all substations, relay rooms and high sites are being planned. Other projects include the corridor fencing and corridor monitoring that will significantly enhance the protection of assets.

(ii) Some projects, such as corridor fencing, are being rolled out already, the rest will be roll out during the 2019/20 to 2021/22 MTEF period.

(c) (i) Each incident is reported to the Risk and security department at the MLCC (Main Line

Control Centre) where it is registered with a specific reference number. Internal Security investigates, and targets identified hot spots and executes special action plans to minimize the incidents.

(ii) Majority of the vandalism is theft of copper and aluminum train parts which has a high

monitory value at scrap dealers. Another challenge is stone throwing at trains en-route on certain corridors. Due to the numbers involved internal investigations are not done for each case. Cases are opened with SAPS with the available information. See attached Annexure with case numbers.

(a) Why has the Road Accident Fund (RAF) not paid Mr Tshepo Tshaka Tsabella (details furnished) his RAF claim money and (b) on what date will the specified person be paid?

Reply:

a) The RAF has not paid the claim of the specified person (the Claimant) because: the Claimant has not proven the quantum of the claim; the Claimant has instructed more than one firm of attorneys to represent him, resulting in a dispute in relation to which firm of attorneys holds the mandate; and, the RAF is not allowed to engage with the Claimant directly due to the fact that the Claimant elected not to claim directly, but to instead use the services of an attorney; and (b) the Claimant’s attorneys are dominis litis and therefore in control of the litigation, consequently the RAF is not in a position to advise when the claim will be settled and paid.

c) Refer to attached Annexure A, which reflects the make of vehicle in column F and the cost in column G.

d) The need arises from the fact that most of ATNS aviation Communications, Navigational, & Surveillance (CNS) infrastructure and facilities are strategically placed in remote areas to provide the required coverage and cater for all air traffic movements across the country. It is also a requirement by the aviation regulating authority of South Africa (SACAA) that scheduled preventative maintenance on these sites are performed routinely and in case of failure, for ATNS to respond and perform corrective maintenance and ensure continuity of service. Since most of the sites are in remote areas, ATNS need to drive to those sites to perform maintenance as required and require vehicles with greater clearance.

e) Given the current and anticipated requirements (informed by planned infrastructure investments), the company evaluates and include the needs as part of the company operating model.

f) In line with the Permission approval, the evaluation is done and approved for a period of 5 years.

The table below provides comprehensive answers by the South African Civil Aviation Authority to all questions, i.e. (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h)(i), (ii), and (iii).

a)

No of Vehicles purchased

  • 2 vehicles were purchased as follows: -
  • March 2017
  • June 2018

b)

Purpose

  • Both vehicles were purchased to enable our inspectors to conduct inspections and fulfill the mandate of South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA).

c)

Vehicle Make

  • Ford Ranger; March 2017; R393,344.68
  • Ford Ranger; June 2018; R401,720.52

d)

What assessment

  • The need was determined by the services that SACAA has to render to its clients. These clients include different airports, Aviation Training Organisation at outlying areas e.g. aerodrome inspections. The other assessment was the flight costs; car hire costs incurred vs costs of having a pool vehicle for each division.

e)

Who conducted the assessment

  • The assessment was conducted by the relevant head of division with the assistance of Supply Chain Management department in sourcing the vehicles

f)

Results of assessment

  • The result was that it was better for each two divisions to have a pool vehicle to conduct inspections, this reduced cost of flights and private vehicle claims by inspectors travelling with their own car and or hiring a vehicle in case where an inspector does not own private vehicle. Also, where the inspectors are not allowed to use their own vehicle i.e. ramp inspection at the airport; the airport required a vehicle in certain colour that was branded according to the ACSA specification.

g)

In each instance a needs assessment and/or business cases were developed on the various specialised units. Thereafter submissions were processed and authorised by the relevant delegated official before procuring the vehicles through R-57 contract.

The specialised vehicles (Mobile units as well as buses) were procured through the normal tender process.

The end-users of the vehicles initiated the processes with inputs from their management as well as fleet management. The delegated authorised parties also added comments and inputs during the approval process

The results of these assessments / motivation /business cases were all used as motivation for the procurement

Due to the specialised nature of the procured vehicles, they have firstly been allocated to specific people and/or units that make use of them.

Secondary to that all these vehicles are governed by the approved Policies and Procedures on fleet. Further to this, monthly submissions are made to Fleet unit to reconcile back to the RT-46 stannic reports

With reference to the Road Accident Fund (RAF) and the proposed Road Accident Benefit Scheme (RABS), (a) what difference would there be in the respective revenue models and (b) how would this model (i) assist in making the RAF and/or RABS solvent and (ii) be more beneficial to claimants?

Reply:

With reference to the RAF and the proposed RABS, the (a) difference in the respective revenue models will be that currently section 5 of the Road Accident Fund Act, No. 56 of 1996 (the RAF Act) provides that the RAF is funded through the dedicated RAF Fuel Levy, and through loans, to make payment of claims on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, with no provision in the RAF Act for any balancing of revenue with expenses, whilst the provisions of Chapter 4 of the Road Accident Benefit Scheme Bill [B 17B -2017] (RABS Bill) provides for an additional funding stream in the form of appropriations by Parliament, in addition to the dedicated RABS Fuel Levy (which is the current RAF Fuel Levy that will in future fund RABS), and loans, in order to make payment of claims that arise under the RABS Bill on a fully funded basis and RAF claims that arose under the RAF Act on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, with specific provision in section 32 of the RABS Bill for the matching of revenue and expenses based on a funding ratio,

(b) this model will (i) assist, together with the overall benefit design set out in the RABS Bill (i.e. no-fault liability, removal of general damages , defined and limited benefits, structured payment, benefit review, and no automatic increases), to make the RABS solvent over time, noting that actuarial projections indicate that the benefits under the RABS Bill are more than 20% cheaper as compared to compensation paid under the RAF Act and

(ii) be more beneficial to claimants by: providing more inclusive access to cover, through the removal of fault; enabling much faster assessment of claims, and provision of access to benefits, due to the removal of fault and because of the defined benefit design; providing for a deemed income, on which benefits are calculated for those who earn below the deemed income and those who cannot prove an actual income; providing assistance, including financial assistance, to claimants to claim; providing for faster and cheaper resolution of disagreements through an internal dispute process, or externally, through an Appeals Committee; and, reducing the diversion of funds meant for beneficiaries to intermediaries

With regard to the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act (AARTO), Act 46 of 1998, on what policy basis and other considerations it has been decided that the AARTO testing phases in Johannesburg and Tshwane were successful; (2) whether he has found that there is a reduction in the number of motor vehicle accidents; if not, (a) why does he find that AARTO has not made a difference and (b) why the implementation of AARTO nationwide will deliver a different outcome; (3) whether the Road Traffic Infringement Agency (RTIA) has the operational efficiency to effectively deal with the adjudication of offences; if not, why will the RTIA function more effectively in the adjudication of offences, especially as the volume of offences will increase drastically; (4) whether he has found that the collection of fines was better than before AARTO was established; if not, why will the implementation of AARTO nationwide definitely ensure that the collection of fines will improve with regard to the previous system and the creation of AARTO courts across the country that currently do not exist; (5) whether he has clear evidence that the implementation of AARTO nationwide will make the roads safer; if not, why are they continuing to implement the system; if so, whether he and his department accept personal responsibility if the roads become more unsafe and more people are killed or injured by reckless driving?

Reply:

(1) The AARTO Pilot Report, identified the weaknesses in the implementation and the related interventions that should developed. With the identified loopholes corrected, the implementation has subsequently proven to be successful. The last of the remaining weaknesses relate to the legislative framework and the amendments to the AARTO Act have recently been approved by the Portfolio Committee as well as the National Council of Provinces;

(2) Yes, (a) there was 19% reduction in fatalities in Gauteng, where AARTO is operational, recorded for the 2018 December/2019 January festive season. Enforcement Orders issued acted as a catalyst to ensure that lleged infringers comply with the infringement notices issued and in retun allowed for a compliant road user and a safer road traffic environment.

(b) Intenternational Research indicates that the Points Demerit System substantially reduce the accident rates upon implimentation thereof. It is envisaged that the same will apply with the national implimentation of AARTO, which will include the enforcement of the demerit points system.

(3) Audited performance reports over the last three years shows that the Agency has easily cope with the volumes of representation applications received within an average of 5 days, which is significantly less than the prescribed 21 day period. The Agency adjudicated 87,848 representations during the 2015/16, 96,310 during the 2016/17and 133,790 during the 2017/18 periods respectively.

Furthermore, only a small percentage of infringement notices results in representation applications, since there are currently four other elective options that an infringer can choose from.

(4) In the first instance, the AARTO system is not just based on the collection of traffic penalties. AARTO seeks to decriminalise road traffic violation. It provides for five different options from which an infringer must elect and exercise their right, such as challenging it by submitting a representation, electing to go to court, nominating the driver, making a once-off payment or arranging to pay in installments. Generally, revenue increase has been experienced, given the easier process of payments at additional payment platforms throughout the country, thereby introducing greater convenience for infringers to effect payments where applicable. throughout the country. It would be incorrect to move from a point that AARTO is only about collection of fines.

(5) The implementation of AARTO nationwde will include the Points Demerit System (PDS) and international studies have shown that the PDS has a direct bearing on the reduction of road fatalities. The evidence in this regard is based on the following:

  • Norway - reduction of 10.49% of road crashes when demerit points was introduced during 2009/2010;
  • Denmark - reduction of 16.2% of road crashes when demerit points was introduced during 2009/2010
  • Germany - reduction of 7.24% of road crashes when demerit points was introduced during 2009/2010;
  • A study by Stichting Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Verkeersveiligheid (SWOV) Institute, Leidshendam, Nederlands dated 2012 on Demerit Point Systems founded that the general effect on the reduction of injury accidents after the introduction of a PDS will be between 15-20% for the first one and a half year after introduction.

The Minister, the Department and all its roads Agencies, firmly believe that road safety is everyone’s responsibility. Thus the strategic position is to show leadership by engaging with all stakeholders and members of the public to ensure full compliance to all road traffic laws, which will ensure the achievement of the goal of increased road safety. We all accept that any road fatality or serious injury is one too many to accept and thus everyone must ensure that we contribute to the success of a safer road traffic environment.

(1)(a) Why was an amount of R 5,7 billion moved to the SA National Roads Agency Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project in his department’s Medium-term Budget Policy Statement in October 2018, (b) what are the details of the purpose(s) for which the funds will be utilized and (c) why were the funds transferred from the non-toll network’s allocation; (2) whether he has found that the specified transfer of funds was based on a rational decision in the interest of all citizens considering the need for repairs on South Africa’s non-toll road network; if so, what are the relevant details? NW193E

Reply:

1. (a) Due to the SANRAL Toll portfolio experiencing financial difficulty and in order to ensure that SANRAL does not default on its payments to investors, as well as to continue with the maintenance of the toll network across the country, funds were transferred from the non-toll network to the Toll network.

(b) Falls away – refer to (a) above.

(c) Because no additional funding could be sourced from the National Treasury, this was part of a reprioritisation exercise until a permanent solution is generated by Government to deal with the e-Toll challenge.

2. Even though the non-payment by Gauteng road users has a severe impact on SANRAL’s sustainability, an event of default would have even more dire consequences for the country. This would result in SANRAL ‘s full debt of R47bn becoming due and payable to investors. It is however a fact that any money that is diverted from the non-toll network to support GFIP negatively affects road maintenance and improvements elsewhere in the country. This transfer was a necessary intervention while a permanent solution is sought by Government for the e-Toll challenge.

(1)(a) The terrorist attacks in the landside area of Brussels Airport on 22 March 2016 and Istanbul Airport on 28 June 2016, has brought aviation security sharply into focus from all aviation stakeholders, governments and the media. Ensuring the security of the traveling public is a top priority for ACSA. The appropriate authority has defined “landside.” To include areas of mass gathering inside or close to the terminal, where there is a regular concentration of people. There is collaboration with the appropriate authority responsible for civil aviation security matters and other security agencies to conduct risk and vulnerability assessment of Airports to determine if any adjustments to current security measures are warranted. This requirement is contained in our National Civil Aviation Security Programme that allocate responsibilities to state agencies. Engagement with the National and Airport Security Committees on appropriate measures to implement on specific threat scenarios.

(i) Metal barriers and bollards are being used to prevent drive-in attacks

(ii) The separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup areas from the terminal building

(iii) Relocation of vehicle parking close to the terminal building to open areas further from the buildings

(iv) Management of crowds around the landside areas to reduce gatherings of meters and greeters has been implemented.

(v) Security considerations have been considered for access areas such as balconies, terraces or windows that open, close to the terminal building where an active shooter or bomber might have access to crowded public areas by enhancement of patrols and CCTV surveillance.

(vi) Airport workers & passenger awareness & communication, there is a continuous reminder through the public-address system to passengers and visitors to be vigilant and report unattended baggage or suspicious behavior.

(vii) Security awareness training is provided for all Airport workers (both airport and non-airport employees, including those not involved directly in security) to recognize suspicious behavior, and provide a simple and quick means to report it.

(b) Airports Company South Africa is not obligated under any legal grounds to implement the restricted road access. This road is under the jurisdiction of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan municipality. The municipality is charged with this legal responsibility. The management of O.R Tambo International Airport has raised its concerns and suggested that the airport controls the access and egress onto the airport frontage roads.

(i) Aviation-specific security regulations focus on the airside spaces (non-public spaces of airports accessible only to air passengers who hold a valid boarding pass and to security cleared staff). These regulations are designed to prevent unlawful interference with air transport. Landside spaces (airport spaces accessible to the public) are subject to general security regulations enacted by national civil aviation authority. It is therefore up to the national civil aviation authority to review and coordinate with airports to identify the appropriate measures that match their specific threat scenario.

(ii) A new set of standards regarding landside security are included in Amendment 15 to Annex 17 of the Chicago Convention (April 2017) which require States to ensure that landside areas are identified, that measures are established to mitigate and prevent attacks based on a risk assessment, that measures are appropriately coordinated, and that responsibilities are allocated within a State’s national civil aviation security programme.

(iii) Accompanying this standard is guidance material within Doc8973, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Security Manual, which provides additional information on how measures might be implemented. DOC 8973 states that no vehicle shall park within 50 meters from the terminal building.

(iv) The following list provides some best practices in detection, deterrence or mitigation of landside threats that reflect current ICAO guidance material and other industry best practices.

(v) Consider infrastructure and airport design features to mitigate the threat from attack. These might include:

(vi) bollards, flowerpots and other structures to prevent drive-in attacks

(vii) the separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup points from the terminal

(viii) Reduce access areas (such as terraces) where an active shooter or bomber might have access to crowded public areas.

(c) Studies was conducted by a traffic consultant in accordance to municipal by laws

(d) Public participation will be done prior to implementation

(e) Workable alternatives are:

(i) the separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup points from the terminal

(2) (a) none

3. (i) ASA and the Ekurhuleni metro police, doesn’t intimidate parking operators at the airports. In terms of ICAO Doc 9873 and National Civil Aviation Program vehicles cannot be left unattended on the roadway and within 50 meters from terminal building.

(ii) ACSA must ensure adequate road marking and appropriate signages in accordance to road ordinance act.

Reply:

(1) With reference to the reply to question 3520 of 10 November 2017, on which specific date did (a) the Bus Rapid Transport kerbside and (b) trunk route both become fully operational;

(a) The Kerbside operations of the City of Ekurhuleni’s Bus Transport commenced in October 2017 with an introductory service (operating with limited buses) which will be ramped up to full operations as the system matures.

(b) The trunk route is not fully operational. The operations of the trunk route have been delayed by the construction of median trunk stations and the stream crossing. The trunk route is expected to be fully operational early 2019/20 financial year.

(2) Have negotiations with taxi associations been completed; if not, what are the obstacles preventing finalisation of the negotiations;

Significant progress has been made regarding the negotiations with the Taxi industry, however the negotiations were suspended due to the expired contract of the Taxi Industry Technical Advisory (TITA) Team. The pending appointment of TITA and Market surveys are the main obstacles preventing the conclusion of the negotiations.

(3) On what date were all the pedestrian bridges (a) completed and (b) opened?

(a) The pedestrian bridges are still underway construction. The completion of the pedestrian bridges was delayed by design related issues including the bulk water pipeline which was detected during construction and plexiglass specifications.

(b) The planned completion date for pedestrian bridges is during May 2019.

(c)(i) SANRAL develops a detail communication strategy that links to the National Communication Strategy Framework (NCSF). All sub-strategies and campaigns link to the overall SANRAL communication strategy as well as SANRAL pillars of operations. The objectives of the campaigns indicated were as follows:

  1. Business coffee campaign: An approved strategy guides SANRAL’s marketing and communications and it was informed by and consistent with the National Communication Strategy Framework. SANRAL strives continually to improve our communication engagement with members of the public, to inform them of our work and increase understanding of what the SANRAL brand represents. The good reputation of SANRAL is invaluable to our ability to play a role in promoting national investment, growing the economy and creating jobs. 

We have endeavored to present a comprehensive picture of how we deliver on our mandate to assist road users. The business coffee concept was developed to reinforce the universal truth of how interconnected our lives are, even the everyday things that we may overlook are the products of an interconnected network of people, business, and products that are all woven together by a vast system of national roads. SANRAL manages 22 214km of roads throughout South Africa. These roads are the driving force of South Africa that contribute to the GDP of the south African economy.

Business relies on the infrastructure of the roads to drive the economy. SANRAL has a responsibility to ensure that it delivers roads that are well designed, constructed and maintained. This safely engineered infrastructure aids in the driving experience; assists in prolonging the wear and tear of cars and trucks using these roads and enabling users to get themselves and goods to their intended destinations. This advert is pertinent in the current environment of needing to stimulate economic growth by investing in infrastructure.

The coffee ad was powerful and in line with SANRAL’s Horizon 2030 strategy. The commercial demonstrates the role and impact of road infrastructure in supporting businesses both large and small.

The commercial took the agricultural sector as an example and demonstrated through the harvesting and logistical transportation of coffee beans, bringing them to market and eventually at the consumer's hand to enjoy. It also reaffirms SANRAL’s slogan of beyond roads, as roads are not an end in themselves but a means to improving people's lives.

  1. Brand Family:

As with the Business Coffee campaign the strategic intent was to profile how SANRAL goes ‘Beyond Roads’ to build advancements that connect. We want South Africans to think of SANRAL as the brand that brings the ability to connect with their loved ones, their jobs, new business opportunities, tourism, etc. We want them to see how easy and convenient it is to connect with the things that matter in their lives. The emotive approach to communications generated positive feedback about the brand from which we can be able to leverage.

  1. Youth Month:

The objective behind our youth campaign is to attract young talent and future leaders to our organisation whilst building the key stakeholder pillar. Whilst showcasing the bursary we offer to students. The tactic here has been to profile young graduates and their success stories within the different departments of SANRAL.

  1. Bell MOU: SANRAL has embarked on partnerships with companies to promote SMME utilisation and access to equipment. The advertorial aimed to showcase the importance of the MOU as well as to encourage other entities to come forth and offer similar opportunities for SMMEs.
  2. PIARC 2018:

The World Road Association-PIARC was established in 1909. It brings together the road administrations of 122 governments and has members -individuals, companies, authorities and organizations- in over 140 countries. The purpose of this is to share knowledge and techniques on roads and road transportation SANRAL was awarded the contract to host and run the PIARC conference in Cape Town from 4th – 9th November 2018. It is an international conference that is attended by road agencies, engineers and other road entities. As part of the commitment to this committee SANRAL was required to produce communication that would be used to announce the date and venue for this conference, invite delegates to attend and share knowledge about their countries or ideas on how to make roads work better for road users. In addition to this, an opportunity was awarded to students to attend a hackathon over a weekend to develop a road app that could be launched to public to assist with road usage. This hackathon was promoted in publications and on line. Entities were also invited to display posters showcasing their business at the conference.

  1. Women’s Day:

As part of the Horizon 2030, SANRAL has committed to uplift and empower women in South Africa. 9th August is international women’s day and SANRAL wanted to show their appreciation and respect of women.

  1. Nelson Mandela Centenary:

The commemoration of Nelson Mandela was integrated into the four communication blocks which already inform SANRAL’s communication strategy. These are: marketing and advertising; owned media; internal communications; social media; media engagement; community outreach; stakeholder engagement; and partnerships with other government departments and SOEs.

  1. Albertina Sisulu Centenary:

The commemoration of Albertina Sisulu was integrated into the four communication blocks which already inform SANRAL’s communication strategy. These are: marketing and advertising; owned media; internal communications; social media; media engagement; community outreach; stakeholder engagement; and partnerships with other government departments and SOEs.

The commemorative adverts were done to profile the role played by this amazing female leader during the apartheid era as well as her contribution towards education and the upliftment of communities. The aim was for South Africans especially our youth, who are our future leaders, to find inspiration in ma Sisulu and her achievements as a leader, as a woman, a mother, a wife, a daughter and still being a mother to all. SANRAL worked together with the Sisulu family to respectfully pay homage to a great female leader.

  1. Road Safety 365: Road safety is still one of South Africa’s biggest challenges. Every year 1,24 million people die in the world due to road crashes. South Africa contributes to the highest number of injuries and fatalities due to crashes on the roads. 60% of these victims are young people between ages 15 – 35 years of age. In addition to the effect on the economy it robs the country of skills and future leaders and affects economic growth. Bad and irresponsible behavior cannot be changed without all stakeholders working together (i.e. DOT, roads entities, the public, civil society groups, schools and more). So, when we look at a SANRAL Road Safety Campaign, we look at it from a ‘partners’ view. We see it as SANRAL contributing to the fight against road crashes and fatalities in SA. We look at other campaigns that have the same objectives in mind – and then see how we can add a different voice, a different point of view – that may resonate with South Africans.

While other campaigns are focused on the Easter and Festive Season periods, SANRAL’s approach is that of a year-long campaign. When other campaigns use gory visuals and scare tactics to make their point, we look at a more emotional, more ‘adult’ approach but also relatable to different target audiences – hence the theme of the legacy left by parents for their kids. That as ‘adults’ we should be mindful of our actions as they may encourage the next generation of drivers to do as we do.

The objective of the campaign is to:

promote safe road practices and behaviour amongst South Africans when travelling on the roads throughout the year.

increase road user engagement and personalise the message to the road users.

encourage all road users to respect the rules of the road – they are there for your safety.

As we reframe ‘road safety’ in the hearts and minds of South Africans, we are also reminding them of the results of irresponsible behaviour on our roads. The legacy element even if you are not a parent but an aunt or uncle, your nieces and nephews also look up to you.

  1. FMS Toll Campaign: As an agency of the government, much like others, SANRAL is painted with the same brush of mistrust, corruption and lack of questionable leadership. The past and the looming elections thrusts SANRAL at the centre of the conversation as another agency that doesn’t have the interest of the people at heart. So much so that even the road users who advocated for and are compliant are starting to lose faith in being the only ones who continue to do the right thing.

The overall objective is therefore educational in nature to shift perceptions about the user-pays, user-benefits principle as a road funding method from negative to neutral and/or positive. The aim is to

To educate the South African public about tolling

Promote the user-pays, user-benefits principle as a sustainable model for funding SA roads

To build effective relations with media and other relevant stakeholders

Encourage increased voluntary compliance regarding e-tolls and reduce opposition thereto.

Tolling is ultimately about the consumer’s hard-earned money and therefore the focus of this campaign is on the consumer: ME, MY CAR, MY JOURNEY AND MY MONEY.

  1. Top Employer:

The Top Employers Institute is a global HR certification organization that enables employers to improve their HR practices and enhance the working environment for their employees. Established more than 25 years ago, this year the Top Employers Institute certified over 1 500 organizations in 118 countries. These Certified Top Employers positively impact the lives of over 5,000,000 employees globally.

SANRAL was certified a Top Employer for the ninth consecutive year by the Top Employers Institute. In the face of fierce competition for engineering skills, SANRAL seeks to attract and retain talent through good working conditions, skilled human resources management, and growing its own talent. The approach has yielded results. SANRAL has a staff turnover rate of just 2.5% a year.

It is for this reason that SANRAL advertised in the official publication of the Top Employers
Awards.

  1. Transport Month: Transport Month is hosted yearly in October. SANRAL is one of Department of Transports entities that supports the awareness and significance of this month, in highlighting infrastructure delivery and its effect on the development of South Africa’s communities. The month also advances the economic benefits of the sector.

The Minister officially launched the Mt Edgecombe interchange during this month. The aim of the advertising was to profile the interchange and its benefits for the community as the communities and road users were interested in the progress of this massive upgrade. At an investment of R1.1 billion rand the interchange is one of the largest projects undertaken by SANRAL in KwaZulu-Natal and is more than a masterpiece of award-winning architecture - it is a vital artery of the greater eThekwini metropolitan highway system and has greatly contributed to SMME development. This upgrade has forever changed the landscape, and will no doubt become a recognizable landmark.

  1. Ad hoc advertising: SANRAL manages a fiscal year planning calendar and plots out its themes to be communicated per month. The Ad hoc advertising is carried out when approached by publications and broadcasts that offer value for money as well as links to the theme’s planned for in the year.

c(ii) The performance is tracked using the industry performance planning tool that provides the performance of the campaign which is reach, frequency and impact for broadcast. The campaign was tracked against viewership statistics supplied from the performance. For print, readership and circulation figures are reviewed.

With reference to Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa train stations near economic activity hubs, (a) how have the specified stations been identified, (b) what criteria were used to identify stations near economic activity hubs, (c) what are the current status of the stations, (d) what are the plans for stations that do not meet the requirements for economic activity hubs, (e) who will undertake the specified plans and (f) what are the timelines, timeframes and deadlines in this regard?

Reply:

a) PRASA has inherited and thus operates services with train stations which to a large extent reflect the past regime’s historical planning, which located people outside of the economic hubs.

b) As per the above response in (a), the stations near the economic hubs referred to, have been inherited and were developed in the past regime motivated by the policy of housing certain races outside of economic hubs.

c) The PRASA property portfolio train stations near economic hubs are limited to areas within the following Cities:

  • City of Johannesburg
    • Park Station in City Centre
    • Naledi (Soweto)
  • City of Tshwane
    • Mabopane station
    • Pretoria Station
    • Saulsville Station
  • City of Ekurhuleni
    • Dunswart
    • Germiston
  • City of Ethekwini
    • Durban Station
    • Berea Station
  • City of Cape Town
    • Woodstock Station
    • Saltriver Station
    • Cape Town Station
  • Buffalo City and Nelson Mandela.
    • East London Station
    • Port Elizabeth Station

Stations are in various states of functioning, depending on the demographics of the area and the demand of transport in the area. PRASA has over the past five (5) years invested a substantial amount of Capital in improving the major stations through various programmes such as National Station Upgrade Programme (NSUP) and National Station Improvement Programme (NSIP). Whilst upgrading and improving stations, PRASA will identify the commercial opportunity and include it in the upgrade project. Other commercial opportunities identified will be as and when capital is available to cater for the commercial requirements or offered to the market for leasing.

d) Stations are classified as Super Core, Core, Medium, Small and Halts based on the number of commuters making use of the stations. Furthermore, the Local Authorities/Cities earmarks areas based on the demographics and development planning of the City.

Stations that do not meet the requirements of economic hubs are normally stations that have very limited commercial potential and only small station cafés or informal trade will take place until the fabric of the surrounding area changes, making it potential commercial hubs. Once again PRASA does not decide whether the area is earmarked as economic hubs as it is the Local Authority that determines this based on their Integrated Urban Development Plans, such as housing development, retail, etc. PRASA responds to these plans.

e) The Local Authority decides on an area and undertakes studies depending on demographic changes of the area.

f) The time frames are based on the Local Authority planning cycle and once the areas are developed into economic hubs, PRASA will respond with the upgrade of stations which includes commercial development and or residential developments.

a) Total number of accidents that occurred on the N1 between Bela-Bela and Polokwane

(i) As from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018 there were = 102 Fatal crashes

(ii) Since 1 April 2018 there were = 69 Fatal crashes

b) The total number of persons who were killed in each case

(i) As from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018 there were = 178 Fatalities

(ii) Since 1 April 2018 = 134 Fatalities

c) Causes of fatal crashes

Most of the fatal crashes occurred due to the following crash types:

i. Single vehicles overturned

ii. Head-on

iii. Accident with pedestrian

iv. Head-rear

d) Actions taken by the department

(i) road users abide by all road rules - The Department through the RTMC has deployed traffic officers on the route in support of efforts that have been put in place by the Limpopo Province. This is to ensure visibility as deterrent but also to enforce traffic laws and regulations. The focus is on the following offences: speed, seat belt, overload, cell phones and reckless and negligent driving amongst others.

In addition to this, the RTMC has also intensified its road safety education and awareness programmes on the said route. These includes, amongst others, having activations at the taxi ranks targeting drivers and passengers before they embark on their journey, educational road blocks, handing out information pamphlets at the tollgates, and information exhibitions that encourage road user behaviour change.

(ii) Reduce number of fatal accidents -Based on the absolute figures, there is a slight reduction in the number of fatal crashes and fatalities when comparing the two (2) financial years (2016/17 and 2017/18).

2. The current phase of the Gauteng Open Road Tolling (GORT) project was the first phase of approximately 200km. An additional 150 km of new freeways were envisaged as part of the next phases of the GFIP.

The roll-out of new freeways in Gauteng is dependent on the Government’s final decision on the infrastructure funding mechanism, including that of e-tolling for any further extension in Gauteng and in the other provinces.

The of the roads and timelines will become clear once Government has decided on infrastructure funding mechanism as indicated in above.

Reply:

Airports Company South Africa SOC Limited (ACSA)

(1)(a) The terrorist attacks in the landside area of Brussels Airport on 22 March 2016 and Istanbul Airport on 28 June 2016, has brought aviation security sharply into focus from all aviation stakeholders, governments and the media. Ensuring the security of the traveling public is a top priority for ACSA. The appropriate authority has defined “landside.” To include areas of mass gathering inside or close to the terminal, where there is a regular concentration of people. There is collaboration with the appropriate authority responsible for civil aviation security matters and other security agencies to conduct risk and vulnerability assessment of Airports to determine if any adjustments to current security measures are warranted. This requirement is contained in our National Civil Aviation Security programme that allocate responsibilities to state agencies. Engagement with the National and Airport Security Committees on appropriate measures to implement on specific threat scenarios.

i)Metal barriers and bollards are being used to prevent drive-in attacks

ii) The separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup areas from the terminal building

iii) Relocation of vehicle parking close to the terminal building to open areas further from the buildings

iv) Management of crowds around the landside areas to reduce gatherings of meters and greeters has been implemented.

v) Security considerations have been considered for Access areas such as balconies, terraces or windows that open, close to the terminal building where an active shooter or bomber might have access to crowded public areas by enhancement of patrols and CCTV surveillance.

vi) Airport Workers & passenger awareness & communication, there is a continuous reminder through the public-address system to passengers and visitors to be vigilant and report unattended baggage or suspicious behavior.

vii) Security awareness training is provided for all Airport workers (both airport and non-airport employees, including those not involved directly in security) to recognize suspicious behavior, and provide a simple and quick means to report it.

(b) Airports Company South Africa is not obligated under any legal grounds to implement the restricted road access. This road is under the jurisdiction of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan municipality. The municipality is charged with this legal responsibility. The management of O.R Tambo International Airport has raised its concerns and suggested that the airport controls the access and egress onto the airport frontage roads.

(i) Aviation-specific security regulations focus on the airside spaces (non-public spaces of airports accessible only to air passengers who hold a valid boarding pass and to security cleared staff). These regulations are designed to prevent unlawful interference with air transport. Landside spaces (airport spaces accessible to the general public) are subject to general security regulations enacted by national civil aviation authority. It is therefore up to the national civil authority to review and coordinate with airports to identify the appropriate measures that match their specific threat scenario.

(ii) A new set of standards regarding landside security are included in Amendment 15 to Annex 17 (April 2017) which require States to ensure that landside areas are identified, that measures are established to mitigate and prevent attacks based on a risk assessment, that measures are appropriately coordinated, and that responsibilities are allocated within a State’s national civil aviation security programme.

(iii) Accompanying this standard is guidance material within Doc8973, ICAO Security Manual, which provides additional information on how measures might be implemented. DOC 8973 states that no vehicle shall park within 50 meters from the terminal building.

(iv) The following list provides some best practices in detection, deterrence or mitigation of landside threats that reflect current ICAO guidance material and other industry best practices.

(v) Consider infrastructure and airport design features to mitigate the threat from attack. These might include:

(vi) bollards, flowerpots and other structures to prevent drive-in attacks

(vii) the separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup points from the terminal

(viii) Reduce access areas (such as terraces) where an active shooter or bomber might have access to crowded public areas.

(c) Studies was conducted by a traffic consultant in accordance to municipal by laws

(d) Public participation will be done prior to implementation

(e) Workable alternatives are,

(i) the separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup points from the terminal

(2) whether he has been informed that the Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has been in contact with the SA National Airport Parking Association (Sanapa) and that Acsa has given Sanapa an undertaking to participate in the process regarding the proposed road closures;

(a) none

(3) whether he has been informed of the current form of intimidation being conducted against parking operators by Acsa and the Ekurhuleni metro police, who allegedly are having cars picking up and dropping passengers at the entrances towed and stored, and that this has the result of random removal and storage of the cars of bona fide users of the pickup and drop-off points; if not, will he conduct an investigation in this regard; if so, (a) why is this happening and (b) what steps will he take in order to ensure that individuals are given a reasonable time to pick up or drop off passengers?

i) Acsa and the Ekurhuleni metro police, doesn’t intimidate parking operators at the airports. In terms of ICAO Doc 9873 and national civil aviation program vehicles cannot be left unattended on the roadway and within 50 meters from terminal building.

Acsa must ensure adequate road marking and appropriate signages in accordance to road ordinance act.

(a) From what date to what date are the SA National Roads Agency television advertisements to air, (b) what are the total costs in this regard, (c) what are the objectives for the specified adverts and (d) how are these objectives measured?

Reply:

BUSINESS COFFEE TELEVISION ADVERT

a) The Business Coffee advert flighted from 27 May 2018 to 30 June 2018 on mainstream television stations.

b) The cost to produce the business advert was R10 376 558.00 and the cost for flighting the advert was R9 628 113.00. The advert was also placed on Youtube for additional views. The advert has longevity and will be used again in 2019.

c) An approved strategy guides SANRAL’s marketing and communications and it was informed by and consistent with the National Communication Strategy Framework. SANRAL strives continually to improve our communication engagement with members of the public, to inform them of our work and increase understanding of what the SANRAL brand represents. The good reputation of SANRAL is invaluable to our ability to play a role in promoting national investment, growing the economy and creating jobs. 

We have endeavored to present a comprehensive picture of how we deliver on our mandate to assist road users. The business coffee concept was developed to reinforce the universal truth of how interconnected our lives are, even the everyday things that we may overlook are the products of an interconnected network of people, business, and products that are all woven together by a vast system of national roads. SANRAL manages 22 214km of roads throughout South Africa. These roads are the driving force of South Africa that contribute to the GDP of the south African economy.

Business relies on the infrastructure of the roads to drive the economy. SANRAL has a responsibility to ensure that it delivers roads that are well designed, constructed and maintained. This safely engineered infrastructure aids in the driving experience; assists in prolonging the wear and tear of cars and trucks using these roads and enabling users to get themselves and goods to their intended destinations. This advert is pertinent in the current environment of needing to stimulate economic growth by investing in infrastructure.

The coffee ad was powerful and in line with SANRAL’s Horizon 2030 strategy. The commercial demonstrates the role and impact of road infrastructure in supporting businesses both large and small.

The commercial took the agricultural sector as an example and demonstrated through the harvesting and logistical transportation of coffee beans, bringing them to market and eventually at the consumer's hand to enjoy. It also reaffirms SANRAL’s slogan of beyond roads, as roads are not an end in themselves but a means to improving people's lives.

d) The performance is tracked using the industry performance planning tool that provides the performance of the campaign which is reach, frequency and impact, as indicated below. The campaign was tracked against viewership statistics supplied from the performance.

ROAD SAFETY TELEVISION ADVERT

a) The Road Safety 365 TV advert flighted from 23 September 2018 to 8 October 2018 on both Mainstream and Community television stations.

b) The cost for producing the advert was R8 227 302.90 and the cost for flighting on both Mainstream and Community television was R3 037 807.60. The advert was also placed on Youtube for additional views and will is scheduled to fight again in early 2019.

c) Road safety is still one of South Africa’s biggest challenges. Every year 1,24 million people die in the world due to road crashes. South Africa contributes to the highest number of injuries and fatalities due to crashes on the roads. 60% of these victims are young people between ages 15 – 35 years of age. In addition to the effect on the economy it robs the country of skills and future leaders and affects economic growth. Bad and irresponsible behavior cannot be changed without all stakeholders working together (i.e. DOT, roads entities, the public, civil society groups, schools and more). So, when we look at a SANRAL Road Safety Campaign, we look at it from a ‘partners’ view. We see it as SANRAL contributing to the fight against road crashes and fatalities in SA. We look at other campaigns that have the same objectives in mind – and then see how we can add a different voice, a different point of view – that may resonate with South Africans.

While other campaigns are focused on the Easter and Festive Season periods, SANRAL’s approach is that of a year-long campaign. When other campaigns use gory visuals and scare tactics to make their point, we look at a more emotional, more ‘adult’ approach but also relatable to different target audiences – hence the theme of the legacy left by parents for their kids. That as ‘adults’ we should be mindful of our actions as they may encourage the next generation of drivers to do as we do.

The objective of the campaign is to:

  • promote safe road practices and behaviour amongst South Africans when travelling on the roads throughout the year.
  • increase road user engagement and personalise the message to the road users.
  • encourage all road users to respect the rules of the road – they are there for your safety.

As we reframe ‘road safety’ in the hearts and minds of South Africans, we are also reminding them of the results of irresponsible behaviour on our roads. The legacy element even if you are not a parent but an aunt or uncle, your nieces and nephews also look up to you.

d) The performance is tracked using the industry performance planning tool that provides the performance of the campaign which is reach, frequency and impact, as indicated above. The campaign was tracked against viewership statistics supplied from the performance.

Please note that community TV reach will always be low due to broadcast footprint, especially if it’s compared to the national tv channels that have a bigger foot print and cover almost 99% of the population.

(1) With reference to the forensic findings against a senior official at Airports Company of South Africa (ACSA), what (a) action has been taken to date and (b) are the reasons for the delays in taking action; (2) What (i) are the reasons for the resignation of ACSA board members and (ii) is being done to replace the members and (b) how are decisions of the board approved without a full complement of board members?

Reply:

Airports Company South Africa SOC Limited (ACSA)

(1)(a) After consideration of the first forensic report, the Board agreed that a second report be obtained. The Open Water report was concluded in January 2018 and the previous Board constituted a Board Sub-committee to review the report. The sub-committee met in February 2018, discussed the report and a recommendation was made to the Board in this regard. However, before this could be discussed at a Board meeting, the term of office of the then acting chairman expired and two Board members resigned. That left the Board with two Non-Executive Directors and one Executive Director, namely the Chief Executive Officer. The matter was then held over for the new Board to be appointed.

(b) After the appointment of the new board, the forensic reports have been considered by the Audit and Risk Committee (“ARC”). A Board ad hoc committee constituted by two members each from the Remuneration and Nominations Committee and ARC has been tasked with working on these reports and external advice has been sought in this regard. It is envisaged that the matter would be concluded soon.

(2)(a)(i) The Board members cited various reasons, information of which can be forwarded on request.

(ii) The Minister has appointed six Board members who have assumed their directorships with effect from 1 September 2018. The Board Chairman has subsequently been appointed with effect from 9 November 2018.

(b) In terms of clause 13.1.1 of ACSA’s Memorandum of Incorporation (“MOI”), the Board shall, at all times, consist of a minimum of three directors and a maximum of twelve directors, of which a majority shall be non-executive directors. The decisions taken by the Board have been taken by a fully constituted board in terms of the MOI.

(a) What are the reasons that the rental for accommodation at train stations has been increased at train stations, (b) on what date did the rental increase and (c) what is the impact of the increased rental on the tenants and potential tenants?

Reply:

a) Reasons that the rental for accommodation at train stations has been increased are:

  • Tenants at all stations entered into Lease Agreements as prescribed by the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa’s (PRASA) Leasing Policy for the use of such premises.
  • The rentals paid at the station are market related and are negotiated and agreed upon with the tenant on a lease document signed by both parties.
  • PRASA’s lease agreements provides for a rental escalation which occurs at the anniversary of each agreement.
  • Such annual rentals escalation are market related researched and determined by the approved registered property valuers serving in the property sector.

b) Date of rental increase:

  • Law of contract prescribes the lease agreement to have a start and end date to be a valid contract.
  • Each contract will clearly indicate when the lease shall be due for escalation on the annual anniversary of each lease.
  • Lease commencement dates will differ from lease to lease depending on when the agreed use of the property is envisaged to take place.

c) The impact of the increased rental on tenants and potential tenants are:

  • Payment of increased rental based on escalation rates which is aligned to inflation and increased rates and taxes as well as electricity, the tenants will consider and adopt cost effective ways of doing business.

(a) Which department or entity is responsible for the naming of the airports, (b) what process is followed in this regard, (c) which airports are due to be renamed, (d) what criteria are used to decide that renaming is required, (e) what airports are in the process of being renamed and (f) what are the timelines in each instance?

Reply:

Airports Company South Africa SOC Limited (ACSA)

(a) According to the South African Geographical Names Council Act (Act No. 118 of 1998) the Minister of Arts and Culture is responsible for the approval of geographical names after receiving recommendations from the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC). The SAGNC is only responsible for geographical features of national concern including, but not limited to, towns/cities, suburbs and any form of human settlement, post offices, stations, highways, airports and government dams. The SAGNC is also responsible for natural landforms like mountains, hills, rivers, streams, bays, headlands and islands. Since airports are administered by National Department of Transport through the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) it is within their mandate to process their renaming through the South African Geographical Names Council

(b)(1) The Minister/Department of Transport through ACSA should initiate consultation in relation to the proposed changes or coordinate any of such process from the public or any stakeholder.

2. A notice in terms of Promotion of Administrative Justice Act of 2000 (where an intention to change the names will be stated clearly and the public will be asked to comment). At the same time there should be consultation with all affected families whose names will be used to give written permission for use of those names and they can also advise on the format in which names should appear on signage (if some of the airports will be named after people). ACSA should also consider staging public hearing around the affected airports, any municipality around each of the affected airports can be an ideal venue and a partner for this exercise.

3. Once all the inputs have been collected the South African Geographical Names Council’s application forms should be completed taking into consideration the inputs from the public and then taken to the relevant Geographical Names Provincial Committees (e.g. if the Airports in Gauteng then Gauteng Provincial Committee, KwaZulu-Natal then KZN Geographical Names Committee, Eastern Cape the Eastern Cape Geographical Names Committee etc.) for processing.

4. The relevant Provincial Committees will then forward the application forms to the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC) after they have checked that the applications comply with the guidelines as stated in the Handbook on Geographical Names. For example, checking if the name is not offensive or a duplication of an existing one etc.

5. The South African Geographical Names Council will then take a decision on the form or forms of names and recommend them for the Minister of Arts and Culture’s approval.

6. Once the names have been approved by the Minister, they will then be published in the Government Gazette which will mean that they are official. The Department of Transport and ACSA will then have to implement the official names as soon as possible. This can take form of events to unveil the names and installing proper signage.at the airports and on relevant roads.

(c) Public notices proposing the renaming of Cape Town International Airport, Port Elizabeth International Airport, Kimberly Airport, and East London Airport were published in May 2018.

(d) All government departments, provincial governments, local authorities, the SA Post Office, property developers and any other body or person may apply for a name change through the South African Geographical Names Council.

(e) Public notices proposing the renaming of Cape Town International Airport, Port Elizabeth International Airport, Kimberly Airport, and East London Airport were published in May 2018.

(f) The process can take up to 4 months from submission of application for name change to the National Geographical Names Council if there are no legal challenges and objections.The renaming process may be further lengthened or delayed depending on the individual circumstace of each application. The Council meets three times per year.

Alberts, Mr ADW to ask the Minister of Transport

Whether, with reference to the answer to question 2271 on 28 August 2017, a provincial member of the executive committee can delegate the competencies to issue permits to permit offices and officials; if not, on what legal grounds does such member of the committee rely in order to execute the specified delegation of competencies?

Reply:

Before responding to the question, I deemed it prudent to refer the honourable Alberts to the provisions of section 91(2) of the National Road Traffic Act, 1993 which provides as follows

91. Delegation by Minister and MEC

(2) The MEC concerned may

(a) delegate to any other person any power conferred upon him or her by or under this Act; and

(b) authorise any other person to perform any duty assigned to the MEC by or under this Act,

and may effect such delegation or grant such authorisation subject to such conditions as he or she may deem fit.

From my reading and interpretation of section 91(2) as outlined above, it would appear authority of the MEC goes beyond delegation by him or her of the competencies to issue permits but also include “…. any power conferred upon him or her under this Act”

Furthermore, may authorise any other person to perform any duty assigned to the MEC by or under this Act.

After various meetings between Nyoni Projects, the Business Rescue Practitioner and SANRAL, SANRAL terminated the Nyoni Projects contract on 14th February 2018 after their liquidation. SANRAL had requested National Treasury to approve a deviation to appoint the second lowest tenderer. National Treasury did not approve this, but instead approved that all previous tenderers be invited to submit a price to complete the outstanding works. This process has since started to source the service providers to complete the project.

Note: The above information only reflects PRASA properties. All these stations were identified for transfer with Main Line Passenger Service in 2009 from Transnet. These stations are on the Kaapmuiden-Hoedspruit line or Johannesburg-Mafikeng-Kimberley line. Stations not in use is not the same as being decommissioned.

2. (a) The option to link King Shaka International Airport (KISA) via the existing North Coast Rail

Corridor was considered along with other rail alignment options during earlier planning activities because of its proximity to KSIA. It was however not preferred, because such a service would result in lengthy journey times and inability to compete effectively with other modes of transport.

(b) As mentioned in (a), the option of linking to the North Coast Rail Corridor was not preferred. In addition, the passenger demand for such a service in the short term, is considered relatively low from a passenger rail perspective. A road-based feeder service from Verulam and/or Tongaat stations is considered more viable in the short term to provide access to KISA from the North Coast Line.

In the medium term, a more direct rail connection to KISA, with potential of linking to current and new growth areas in the northern section of eThekwini, is considered more viable.

(c) The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa concluded a conceptual planning study in 2015 around potential rail linkages to KISA and surrounds.

(d) The outcome of the study in 2015 is in support of (2)(b).
