Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Public Works

Reply:

(a) and (b) Yes,

Overview Progress Report on the Implementation of the 1997 and 1999 Public Works White Papers can be summarised as follows:

Construction Sector

Since the adoption of the 1997 and 1999 Public Works White Papers respectively the Department of Public Works (DPW) led a process that culminated in the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and the Council for the Built Environment (CBE) Acts of Parliament, as well as the Construction Sector Charter and Codes. The Department is currently in the process of reviewing the cited Acts.

The Emerging Contractor Development Programme is a key intervention that has been implemented. This has enabled participation of black owned small and medium enterprises in the construction sector. However, there is still room for improvement to deepen transformation in the sector. Opportunities availed to these enterprises through set-asides have afforded these business entities opportunities to gain skills and knowledge, as well as expand their asset-base.

Property Sector

The State has been beset with a number of intertwined challenges in respect of the management and administration of its immovable property portfolio. To provide a uniform framework and ensure coordination in the management of immovable assets the Government Immovable Assets Management Act, 2007 (GIAMA) [Act No. 19 of 2007] was enacted. The process of institutionalisation of the Act started immediately thereafter and continuous monitoring is being undertaken.

In an endeavour to enhance implementation of GIAMA, the Department of Public Works embarked on a programme to produce a complete and Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) compliant Immovable Asset Register (IAR). The IAR enhancement programme was successfully completed in the 2015/16 financial year.

The IAR is a critical mechanism that enables the State to have accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive information on its immovable assets.

One of the challenges identified through the operational Policy Framework was the lack of a pre-eminent property and facilities management hub for the State. In September 2014 Cabinet approved the establishment of the Property Management Trading Entity (PMTE). The Entity is primarily charged with the management of State properties. We are currently in the process of operationalizing the PMTE.

Public Employment/Works Programmes

The Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) is in its third phase, having been formally launched in 2004. The EPWP Strategy and EPWP Guidelines for implementation have been developed to give direction towards the implementation of the intervention.

Central to the implementation of the EPWP is the application of labour intensive methods, which have resulted in massive job creation, skilling and community asset building. Major social infrastructure assets include police stations, schools, community halls, courts and internal access roads, amongst others. The StatsSA 2015 Quarterly Household Survey confirmed that the EPWP has had a significant impact in addressing the challenge of hunger as a result of poverty for thousands of households. The EPWP has been a safety net for many who struggle to find employment in the mainstream economy. Moreover, to an extent, the EPWP has contributed to reducing socio-economic inequalities and has had a positive effect on social cohesion.

Deracialisation and Radical Transformation in the Construction Sector

The Department of Public Works provides leadership in facilitating the transformation of the built environment (BE). The enactment of the Council for the Built Environment Act, 2000 [Act No. 43 of 2000] and the Acts related to the 6 Built Environment Professions Councils (BEPCs) attests to the efforts towards the transformation of the BE sector. The BEPC talk to the following disciplines:

Architecture;
Landscape Architecture;
Quantity Surveying;
Engineering;
Construction project management; and
Property Valuers.

Though challenges still exist, a lot of groundwork has been covered leading to a steady throughput of BE professionals from designated groups.

To foster inclusivity and broad participation in the property sector, particularly with respect to State-owned immovable assets, the Property Management Empowerment Policy was developed and approved in January 2018 and subsequently became operational.

The Property Sector Charter and Codes were developed to facilitate transformation in the Property sector. The amended Codes were approved by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in June 2017.

The Construction Sector Transformation Charter provides the basis for the development of the Construction Sector Code as it reflects the commitment of various parties to actively promote a vibrant, transformed and competitive construction sector. The Construction Sector Charter and Codes have recently (December 2017) been approved by the DTI.

All the efforts alluded above demonstrate that the Department of Public Works is committed to creating an enabling environment for reconstruction, growth and development in the Property and Construction Sectors.

Robertson, Mr K to ask the Minister of Public Works

(1) Whether, with reference to the reply of the President, Mr C M Ramaphosa, to the debate on the State of the Nation Address on 22 February 2018 to implement lifestyle audits, (a) he, (b) senior management service members in his department and/or (c) any of the heads of entities reporting to him have undergone a lifestyle audit in the past three financial years; if not, have any plans been put in place to perform such audits; if so, in each case, what are the details of the (i) date of the lifestyle audit, (ii) name of the person undergoing the audit, (iii) name of the auditing firm conducting the audit and (iv) outcome of the audit; (2) Whether he will furnish Mr K P Robertson with copies of the lifestyle audit reports?

Source
Link

Reply:

(1) The Department of Public Works has not conducted any lifestyle audits in the categories stipulated by the Honourable Member. Nonetheless, Government uses a system of financial disclosures as prescribed by the Public Service Regulations of 2016. The system provides for the disclosure of shareholding; directorships and partnerships; equities; income generating assets; sponsorships; remunerative work outside an employee’s formal employment; gifts and hospitality; and other financial interests. Additionally, employees are required to make related party disclosures.

Financial interests disclosed by senior managers are verified by the Public Service Commission (PSC). The same is monitored by the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and any situation hinting at a conflict of interest is identified and addressed with the employee concerned by first informing the Executive Authority. Moreover, the Auditor-General South Africa (AGSA), has unfettered access to financial disclosures of employees by virtue of Section 15 (1) of the Public Audit Act, 2004 [Act No. 25 of 2004]. The AGSA is therefore empowered to conduct an audit on the lifestyle of any public service employees to verify the financial position of such persons and establish conflicts of interests, if any.

One of my key priorities as the Minister of Public Works ever since my appointment to this portfolio in 2011 has been zero tolerance to fraud and corruption. To this extent, through the Turnaround programme, systems have been put in place to deal with these challenges with visible successes. We have established the Anti-Corruption Unit, which has conducted a number of investigations on suspicious activities. In some instances, the cases were investigated together with the Special Investigating Unit (SIU). We therefore support the call by the President, His Excellency, Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa, to conduct lifestyle audits and believe that these will be an effective tool in the fight against fraud and corruption.

(2) No. There are no reports of such audits, since the lifestyle audits, in the strict sense of the term, have yet to be conducted by the Department. Once the guidelines are finalized on how these audits should be conducted we will be in a position to implement them.

Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Public Works

(1) Whether, with reference to each case of unutilised land referred to in the reply to question 2752 on 6 November 2017, the land (a) is or has been subject to any land claims or land reform programmes and (b) is located in an (i) urban, (ii) peri-urban or (iii) rural area; (2) why has the land remained unutilised in each case?

Source

Reply:

1. (a) The Department of Public Works has been informed by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform of land parcels within its portfolio that are earmarked for the resolution of land claims. The detailed list of properties under the Department’s custodianship earmarked for land claims is attached as Annexure A.

(b) (i), (ii) and (iii) The location of these properties is indicated in the list of properties attached.

(2) The land parcels have remained vacant, in the main, for the same reasons that vacancy exists in the bigger portfolio under the custodianship of the National Department of Public Works (NDPW). In this regard, and among other things:

the land in the portfolio is reserved to address future accommodation needs of national User departments, noting that well situated land is a scarce resource; and
the land in the portfolio is also kept in trust to address other key Government objectives, such as human settlements and land reform programmes in alignment with the requirements of the relevant departments running these programmes;

Notwithstanding the above, the NDPW seeks to let out all unutilised land with the objective of raising income to cover rates and taxes costs and to ensure the properties are secured through use.

Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Public Works

(1) Does his department have a bank overdraft; if so, what is the (a) reason for the overdraft and (b) amount of the overdraft; (2) has the overdraft increased in the 2016-17 financial year; if so, what are the reasons for the increase?

Source
Link

Reply:

1. The Property Management Trading Entity (PMTE) had a bank overdraft, whereas the Main Account had a favourable bank balance at end of October 2017.

(1)(a) The reason for the PMTE overdraft is mainly due to its operating model. The entity spends on leasehold, construction projects and municipal services and subsequently recovers amounts from client departments. On average, the entity spends R800 million per month which is then recovered over 90 days. This time lag in recovering the amounts due has an impact of approximately R2.4 billion which is slightly off-set by the augmentation received; that is received quarterly in advance.

Outstanding debtors’ balances at the end of October amounted to R4.4 billion of which R1.4 billion relates to the previous financial year which is 99% of the bank overdraft.

(1)(b) The amount of the PMTE overdraft was R1.4 billion, whereas, the Main Account had a favorable balance of R 105 million at the end of October 2017;

2. The PMTE’s overdraft increased in the 2016/17 financial year to R1.9 billion from the previous year (R1.4 billion - 31 March 2016), as well as the Main Account which increased to R753 million from the previous year (R649 million - 31 March 2016). However, as at 31 October 2017, the PMTE’s overdraft has decreased to R1.4 billion and the main account had a favourable bank balance of R105 million.

The main reason for the increase in the bank overdraft of the PMTE for the 2016/17 financial year was payment of backlog rates to municipalities that had not been recovered from client departments. The reason for the decrease as at 31 October 2017 was as a result of the transfer of funds (augmentation) received for the third quarter.

The main reason for the increase in the bank overdraft for the main account was due to an outstanding payment from the PMTE to the DPW which was not cleared at 31 March 2017. The reason for the favourable balance as at 31 October 2017 was due to the voted funds received for the third quarter.

In respect to the Department:

1a) what are the details including the ranks of service providers and/or contractors from which (a) his department procured services in the past five years.

The SCM Prescripts applied during the period 01 April 2012 till 31 March 2017 did not allow for awards to be made in accordance with Suppliers / Contractors’ ownership status. Only the B-BBEE Status Level of Contributor was utilised to allocate points. During that period, there were no reporting requirements for Government Departments to provide statistics / analysis of awards based on ownership status. As such, the historic data for the last five years lacked the details of whether the awarded suppliers / contractors where black-owned or not.

In order to structure the information in a way as to respond to the question, it necessitated a manual screening process to be followed using the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD). The CSD came into operation on 01 April 2016. It is worth noting that the CSD data is limited to inputs captured by the Suppliers when they self-registered therein. Information pertaining to suppliers who were awarded contracts in the last five years but have not to date registered on CSD will not reflect ownership status. There is a limitation in that regard.

The details including ranks (B-BBEE Levels) of service providers and/or contractors from which the Department procured services in the past five years is attached as Annexure A1. This Annexure reflects 5 481 infrastructure projects that were awarded. The details of each transaction were extracted from the Department’s projects Works Control System (WCS). Information pertaining to general goods and services has been attached as Annexure A2. The Annexures provide comprehensive information that addresses questions below.
