(a) As part of its mandate to uphold aviation safety and security, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) routinely conducts ramp inspections on aircraft operating into and within the South African air space.

On the evening of Friday, 18 August 2017, one of the aircraft inspected was a Boeing 767-200 operated by Air Zimbabwe. The inspection conducted by SACAA personnel discovered that the operator, Air Zimbabwe, was not complaint with both international civil aviation standards, and Part 129 of the South African civil aviation regulations. Part 129, among others, requires an operator to be in possession of a Foreign Operator’s Permit in order to conduct operations into South Africa. A copy of the Foreign Operator’s Permit, together with other documents, must be on-board an aircraft at all times, and made available for inspection on request by the relevant authorities.

As a result of the inability of the Air Zimbabwe flight crew to produce a copy of the Foreign Operator’s Permit, the SACAA instructed the crew not to take off until such time that there is full compliance with Part 129 of the South African civil aviation regulations.

The airline resumed operations as soon as they were issued with a Foreign Operator’s Permit.

(b) The SACAA was informed by South African Airways (SAA) that its operations were affected on 19 August 2017 when the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) instructed the SAA flight crew not to take off until such time that there was full compliance with the applicable Zimbabwean civil aviation regulations. It was established that, SAA, just like Air Zimbabwe was not in possession of a Foreign Operator’s Permit that would allow them to operate commercially in the Zimbabwe airspace.

Both airlines resumed operations as soon as they were respectively issued with Foreign Operator’s Permits.

(1) (a) What is the total amount that has been spent on Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality’s Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system to date and (b) what was the initial budget;

The amount spent on the City of Ekurhuleni’s Bus Rapid Transit system has spent R1 687 509 216 to date and the initial budget was R 2 272 685 751.

(2) (a) on what date was the specified BRT system supposed to have been fully operational, (b) by what date will the specified BRT system be fully operational and (c) what additional amount is needed in order for the BRT system to become fully operational;

 (a) The date that the BRT system was supposed to be fully operational was June 2016.

 (b) The BRT system will be partially operational (kerbside) by the end of September 2017, subject to the finalisation of negotiations with affected taxi operators. Full operations (on trunk route) are scheduled to when the infrastructure is fully complete, in 2018.

 (c) There is no additional money that is needed in order for the BRT system to become fully operational, outside of the allocated budget of R660m for infrastructure and operations for the 2017/18 financial year.

(3) what are the reasons for the delay in making the specified BRT system operational?

The reasons for the delay in making the BRT system operational include but are not limited to:

(a) Delays in the procurement process for the various work streams, especially BRT Infrastructure. Currently, the stations, stream crossings, pedestrian bridges, bridges on the trunk route are still under construction.

 (b) The slow pace of construction by some of the infrastructure contractors as well as financial cash flow challenges, and lack of performance experienced by some contractors, some of whom had their contracts terminated. For instance, the contractors for some sections of the trunk were constantly penalised due to failure to meet project milestones and delivery deadlines while the initial station contractors were terminated due to inability to proceed within the budget as a result of poor cash flow management.

 (c) The protracted process of negotiations between the City of Ekurhuleni and the Ekurhuleni Taxi Industry, and the long process of establishment of the Special Purpose Vehicle (Vehicle Operating Company named KTVR), which will be contracted for the BRT operations by the City of Ekurhuleni.

(a)(i) & (ii) The Mpumalanga and Limpopo sections of Moloto road (R573) were transferred to SANRAL in July 2015. At the time SANRAL indicated to National Treasury that the timelines are severely dependent on the regulated procurement, design and land acquisition processes to be followed by SANRAL, running according to plan.

On the Mpumalanga section a Consulting engineering firm was appointed in February 2016 and in March 2016 for the Limpopo section, for design and supervision of the construction contracts.

Due to the urgency in addressing the safety concerns on the route, a process to accelerate the works was initiated. To this end, one construction project in Mpumalanga and Limpopo, each, commenced in January 2017, where the delays of regulatory requirements were limited.

MOLOTO ROAD PROJECT	2016/17	2017/18	2018/19	2019/20	Totals

Transfer to date	R 660 834	R 639 515	n/a	n/a	R 1 300 380

Table 1: Summary of SANRAL Budget Allocations and Expenditure

(b) The Gauteng section of the R573 Moloto road is not transferred to SANRAL. SANRAL and Gauteng Province signed an implementing agent agreement, in which the funding for the design, land acquisition and construction is provided by the Gauteng Province. To date, the Province has not been able to secure the funding and therefore construction has not started.

The under-expenditure is therefore only on the Gauteng Provincial section of the Moloto Road.

(c)(i) The section of the project under SANRAL’s jurisdiction is not behind schedule, however the following challenges exist:

 

• Encroachment of the road reserve – The fact that no proper statuary control was exercised in the past, a high number of formal and informal structures were erected within the road reserve. These need to be relocated from the road reserve prior to any construction works commencing.
• Tribal Land Issues – No formal sub-divisions and title deeds exist in tribal areas. To determine compensation for a land owner, SANRAL needs to first establish the land affected, which is normally done from sub-division diagrams available at the deeds office. Since that is not existing for this area, SANRAL first need to survey the area and establish such basic sub-division diagrams based on conflicting stakeholders input. This leads to an extended stakeholder engagement and land acquisition process.
• Demands and threats placed on contractors and subcontractors by local community and organised groups – demanding employment and business opportunities. To date, delays of 2.5 months and 4 months have been experienced for current construction projects in Mpumalanga and Limpopo, respectively. This will be an ongoing challenge throughout the project.
• Environmental and mining authorisations – longer procurement, design and stakeholder engagement processes affect these regulatory processes, thus delaying the implementation phase of the projects.

(c)(ii) None.

(d) (i) Extensive engagement with stakeholders i.e. Local and Tribal Authorities, Land Occupiers and Service Providers.

(ii) Community Participation – Setting up of Public Liaison Committees (PLCs), appointment of the Project Liaison Officers (PLOs) and recruitment processes, which involves setting up databases for labourers and sub-contractors; and selecting labourers through the raffle methods in their Wards (32 in Mpumalanga). All these processes need to be completed prior to any construction works commencing.

(iii) Workshops for SMME’s and prospective contractors and sub-contractors.

Airport Company South Africa currently uses multiple systems and devices in their daily operations. Some of the systems require users to identify themselves, either so that security protocols can be managed or to match the features of the system to the profile of the user by username, password and/or other mechanisms e.g. Biometrics, Identification cards, etc. The burden of managing access to these systems is currently a major challenge together with managing multiple username and/or password pairs, both for the organisation and the users. There’s no single view of who has access to what systems and the level of access they have on the system which creates problem related to segregation of duties.

The purpose of this initiative is to identify a solution that utilises authentication methodologies to access all systems in the organisation in a secure, seamless, unified and integrated manner. The ability to grant users access to the right and relevant information while having a comprehensive view of all access granted to all users.

The target is BSC graduate from software engineering specifically black South Africans. 100 youth will benefit in this project.

(b) (ii) All the interventions are monitored through the Agency’s governance structures, being discussed at the Management Committee, Executive Committee, Audit & Risk Committee and ultimately to the Board of Directors on a regular basis and included in the quarterly reports on a regular basis.

South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA)

1. In 2016 SAMSA implemented the following measures to address audit outcomes and improvements thereon:

1.1 An audit tracking sheet used to track progress on resolution of audit outcomes. The tracking sheet is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board at least four times a year;

1.2 An Audit Steering Committee comprising of senior staff from the Audit-General and SAMSA was set up with a view to review audit risks and ensure that these are identified and addressed prior to financial year end.

1.3 A Risk Register that reviews major risks in the organisation and measure implemented to mitigate these risks. The Risk Register is reviewed quarterly by the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board.

2. Any items considered to have an impact in the organisation and the audit are discussed on an ongoing basis by EXCO, The Audit and Risk Committee and The Board. These include changes in legislation that may have a bearing on the Authority, eg recent changes in the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework (PPPFA) etc. This is monitored on a quarterly basis by various governance structures.

Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA)

Yes PRASA has put mechanisms in place to improve audit outcomes.

(aa) The majority of the findings are in the Supply Chain Management (SCM)area. The SCM policy is being updated and will be finalised by end of September. SCM policy and procedures are being supplemented and the process will be finalised by end of September. SCM Practitioners will be trained post the implementation of the updated policy.

(bb) The internal audit performs a probity role throughout the procurement process and provides an early warning mechanism.

(cc) The probity function provides a live monitoring of the procurement process, and flags problems as they arise. The Audit and Risk Committee of the Board monitors the improvement of the audit outcomes. .

Ports Regulator (RSA)

(a) The Ports Regulator prepares the audit outcomes action plan which is monitored by the Ports Regulator audit committee and the internal audit on a quarterly basis to ensure that all the identified audit findings are addressed. The Ports Regulator has received “clean audits” for 2014/15, 2015/16, and again for 2016/17

Railway Safety Regulator (RSR)

(b) In the RSR measures have been put in place to ensure improvement in the outcomes of the audit. The following are some of the measures in place:

(i) (aa) Risk-based internal audit plans developed by Chief Audit Executive in consultation with Management for approval by the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) of the Board. The audit reviews conducted by Internal Audit focus on those areas considered medium-high risk as per RSR’s risk profile, which in essence addresses the control environment as well as governance processes.

Annual audit plans include the review of AGSA’s Management letter and conducting follow-up on the implementation of corrective actions by Management. These follow-ups are conducted on an on-going basis immediately upon issuance of the AGSA Report.

Internal Audit reports quarterly to the ARC on the progress of the corrective actions as guided by the implementation dates as committed by Management.

ARC on a quarterly basis reviews the progress made by the Internal Audit against its plan.

bb) Early warning mechanisms exist viz:

1. Monthly EXCO reporting by various departments
2. Monthly risk sessions with Management
3. Monthly Risk Reports including emerging risks discussed at EXCO (standing agenda Item)

(ii) Management reports on organisational performance, Risk Management as well as financial position of the entity are also presented to the ARC on a quarterly basis for evaluation and approval.
