Reply:

The Council of the university is responsible for ensuring that where allegations of fraud and corruption are reported, appropriate investigations are undertaken. Following the investigations, the Council is responsibe for ensuring that appropriate action is taken. The university must manage these issues in terms of their internal policies. Where the Council determines that internal disciplinary processes are not sufficient, they are responsible for reporting to the relevant law enforcement authorities for further action and consideration whether a criminal case should be opened or not.

The National Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS) has provided the following responses.

1. (a) (i) (aa) 116 suppliers did business with the NIHSS for operations through Supply Chain Management (SCM) processes in the 2015/16 financial year.

(bb) 105 suppliers did business with the NIHSS for operations through SCM processes in the 2016/17 financial year.

(ii) 79 suppliers did business with the NIHSS for operations through SCM processes in the 2017/18 financial year from 1 April 2017 to date.

(b) The NIHSS was established in December 2013. During the 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years, the NIHSS did not have any policies. The financial management function was initially outsourced to the Centre for Education Policy Development (CEPD) and later to Deloitte Consulting who was tasked to assist the NIHSS with the development of financial policies. The SCM policies were developed and approved by the Board towards the end of the 2015/16 financial year. Prior to approval of the policies and in the absence of a Supply Chain Management division, all procurements were done by end users of divisions, on a 3-quotation basis. Tenders were done by Deloitte in terms of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, 2000 (Act No 5 of 2000). Therefore, there was no requirement to obtain tax clearances, except in the instances of tenders and is thus non applicable as shown in table below. Relevant details of the (i) names of the specified suppliers, (ii) goods and/or services procured and (iii) monetary value of each contract and (c) 35 number of the suppliers did not have tax clearance certificates as indicated in the table below:

(c) For 2015/16, out of the 116 suppliers, 35 did not have tax clearance certificates; In 2016/17, out of the 105 suppliers, 7 suppliers did not have tax clearance certificates. In the 2017/18 financial year, out of the 79 suppliers appointed to date, 4 suppliers did not have tax clearance certificates.

In all the above instances, the delegated authority would have approved and signed the contracts, i.e. the Chief Executive Officer if above R30 000 and Chief Financial Officer if below R30 000.

In each of the above cases, the absence of the tax clearance certificates was noticed at the point of procurement. Below are the reasons for continuing with procurement:

2015/16

Dial Travel – these were individual transaction which were less than R2 000 each. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash. The individual transactions were as follows:

15-Apr-16	PO0098	Cash	730.00
15-Apr-16	PO0097	Cash	450.00
22-Apr-16	PO0087	Cash	830.00
27-May-16	GRV0300	Cash	1 000.00
26-Aug-16	GRV0815	Cash	1 450.00
26-Aug-16	GRV0818	Cash	1 360.00
10-Sep-16	GRV0899	Cash	1 000.00
10-Sep-16	GRV0900	Cash	840.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1390	Cash	1 800.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1390	Cash	480.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1391	Cash	1 590.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1424	Cash	1 420.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1425	Cash	1 740.00
25-Nov-16	GRV1483	Cash	1 000.00
12-Dec-16	GRV1728	Cash	1 370.00
12-Dec-16	GRV1727	Cash	480.00
	Total		R17 540

Slicy Delicious (Pty) Ltd – purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Deli Express - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Auditor-General – tax clearance is not applicable as the procurement is not done through SCM and competitive bidding. It is mandatory that the external audit is performed by the Auditor-General of South Africa.

Telkom Mobile - the contract with Telkom was for the telephones and data which was entered before the SCM policy was approved and implemented. SCM procedures, therefore did not apply at inception of the contract.

James Citron Electrical CC t/a J's Electrical - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than
R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Moneyline 1351 (Pty) Ltd T/A Postnet Parktown - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

2017/18 (from 1 April 2017 to date)

Auditor-General – tax clearance is not applicable as the procurement is not done through SCM and competitive bidding. It is mandatory that the external audit is performed by the Auditor-General of South Africa.

Ayaba Fire Training - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Two Pianists Records CC - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Mr Mark Patrick T/A Reliance TV – requests for quotation was sent to 3 suppliers, however, only one responded with a quotation. A deviation was therefore requested to deviate from SCM procedures. The deviation was approved by the delegated authority.

3. For all instances of absence of tax clearance certificates, management was satisfied that the procurements were done correctly in terms of the NIHSS policy, therefore, no further investigation or disciplinary actions was necessary.

4. To the best of management’s knowledge, none of the directors of the above companies were related to any NIHSS official.

5. For all instances of absence of tax clearance certificates, management was satisfied that the procurements were done correctly in terms of the NIHSS policy, therefore, no further investigation or disciplinary action was necessary.

The National Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS) has provided the following responses to the questions posed.

1. The NIHSS has a contract with MSMM (a law firm) to supply legal services, including the vetting of NIHSS contracts and legal opinions.

(a) No contracts were awarded in the 2015/16 financial year.

(b) A two-year contract was awarded in the 2016/17 financial year.

(c) The contract indicated in (b) above is for a period of two years and therefore continues into the 2017/18 financial year.

2. (a) The amount of the contract is R495 000.

(b) One mandate of the NIHSS is to advance postgraduate scholarships to qualifying students. This requires the NIHSS to sign funding contracts with students who are awarded scholarships. The contracts need to be legally b

Over and above student contracts, the NIHSS also has contracts with service providers that are procured through the supply chain management process. The contracts with service providers need to be legally binding to ensure that the NIHSS is covered in the event of any dispute, and also to ensure that the quality of goods and services are monitored.

MSMM was appointed to vet all NIHSS contracts. This contributes to the mandate of the NIHSS as it supports work done on scholarships as well as NIHSS’s operations.

The National Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS) has provided the following responses to the questions posed.

1. (a) The NIHSS currently pays Alchemy Properties an annual rental of R3 339 411.74.

(b) The term of the contract is for three years which commenced on 1 November 2015 and will end on 31 October 2018.

(c) A total of 38 employees are accommodated on the property.

(d) The procurement of the premises was done in terms of an open tender process and the lowest quotation was approved.

2. The NIHSS could not be accommodated in the Department of Higher Education and Training’s offices. Before securing their own office space, all NIHSS’s employees were temporality housed at the Centre for Education Policy Development, who was the fund-holder at the time. At that time, the NIHSS had only 5 employees. The NIHSS staff complement has since increased, hence the need for suitable office space.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

With reference to her reply to question 2463 on 5 September 2017 regarding the amount of debt owed to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) by drop-outs, (a) what is the total number of students who dropped out whose debt adds up to R4,002 billion, (b) of this number, how many dropped out due to (i) academic exclusion, (ii) financial exclusion and (iii) other reasons, (c) what proportion of the debt owed by drop-outs has been repayable for (i) less than three years and (ii) more than three years, (d) what amount of the drop-out debt has (i) prescribed and (ii) been written off and (e) whether each amount has been included in the total amount of debt owed to NSFAS by drop-outs?

Source
Link

Reply:

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has provided the following responses to the questions posed.

a) The total number of students who dropped out is 122 769.

b) NSFAS does not currently require universities to provide the reasons for students dropping out. NSFAS defines a dropout as a student who has not formally graduated from the university at which he/she was funded and is currently not studying. Debtors are classified as either “studying”, “graduate” or “dropout” in the loan management system with no breakdown in terms of the reasons for a debtor having dropped out.

Using the Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) and information submitted by the universities annually, NSFAS is able to determine whether a funded student has graduated from an undergraduate programme of study. NSFAS does not currently have a mechanism to identify if a student has transferred to another university for continued studies, however it will be developing this capability in the future.

c) NSFAS debt becomes due and payable one year after a debtor has exited the higher education system, is employed and earns more than R30 000 per annum. Debtors are required to inform NSFAS as soon as their status has changed, i.e. they have exited the higher education system, become employed and earning above the repayment threshold. In terms of section 24 of the NSFAS Act No. 56 of 1999, as amended, NSFAS conducts a loan book matching exercise with the South African Revenue Service on a quarterly basis to establish the employment status and contact information of debtors where such information is available.

The table below shows the number of debtors who have dropped out of the higher education system, and the number of years that their debt has been repayable.

Less than 3 years	More than 3 years	Not yet due and payable	Total
31 627	67 348	23 794	122 769
26%	55%	19%	100%

d) None of the dropout debt was considered to have been prescribed as at 31 March 2017.

NSFAS only writes off debt in respect of individual debtors who are deceased or permanently disabled on receipt of death certificate and/or confirmation through the Department of Home Affairs in respect of deceased debtors and medical confirmation in respect of permanently disabled debtors. Data on write-offs in respect of debtors who have dropped out and are deceased or permanently disabled will require further analysis of the loan book.

e) Debt written off due to death or permanent disability are not included in the total amount of debt owed to NSFAS by dropouts.

Reply:

a) The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has put in place the following collection processes during the 2015/16 financial year to increase recoveries:

Appointment of External Debt Collectors (EDC) to contact debtors who are working in the public and private sector. NSFAS is also working with private companies and associations, e.g. Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (ASISA) and South African Insurance Association (SAIA) to allow for payroll deductions from their employees as well as certain government departments;
NSFAS plans to do soft collections via the contact centre by calling and emailing debtors on a small to medium scale before the debtors are handed over to EDC for collections from the 2018/19 financial year onwards;
NSFAS sends out quarterly statements to enable debtors to make payment arrangements via debit order directly to the Scheme;
NSFAS has embarked on an extensive recoveries communication campaign to create awareness and encourage previous beneficiaries to pay, utilising different mediums of communication throughout the country, i.e. television, radio, print media as well as social media platforms;
NSFAS receives assistance from the National Treasury to secure payroll deductions from government departments. It received secondments from Standard Bank and First National Bank. The First National Bank secondment assists NSFAS with implementation of the recoveries strategy. The Standard Bank secondment assists with all reporting requirements for recoveries, building a data warehouse, dashboard and reporting on the performance statistics of EDC; and
The entity is also getting assistance from SARS on a quarterly basis.

b) The recoveries mandate remains the responsibility of NSFAS. The Department provides oversight and monitoring to ensure that NSFAS fulfils its obligations in this regard.

1. The Central Johannesburg TVET College offers a range of business, engineering and services-related programmes. The Principal of the College has indicated that not all workshops and laboratories used for the teaching of practical skills across the various fields are fully equipped with machines, tools and relevant equipment.

a) The kitchens for the Hospitality programmes need to be refurbished as this programme was relocated to the old Wits Hotel School from the Smit Street campus as the previous building was expropriated and demolished for the Gautrain project.

The ICT infrastructure needs recapitalisation and modernisation.

The key concern for the Engineering programmes is the procurement of Learning and Teaching Support Materials (LTSM).

The Fitting and Motor Mechanic workshops require replacement of tools and machinery due to it being missing or obsolete.

b) The College included the refurbishment of the kitchens in its 2018 Strategic Plan, pending the availability of funds.

The College is in the final stages of a tender process for the recapitalisation of its ICT infrastructure. This project, once completed early in 2018, will have addressed all ICT related issues across all campuses and programmes.

The College Council recently approved that campuses may procure LTSM to a maximum of R30 000 to expedite the provision of LTSM.

Since 2016, the College has procured some tools and equipment for the Motor Mechanic workshops. Earlier this year, the Ford Motor Company donated three new vehicles to the College for teaching and learning purposes. The College is also in discussions with ABB South Africa for similar donations to its Alexandra campus.

2. The College and Department are not aware of cases where students were awarded marks for the practical component of a course where no actual practical teaching took place.

3. If more detail is provided on the incident, the Principal and Department will investigate and take appropriate action.

4. According to the Principal, who assumed office on 01 April 2016, some staff members verbally alleged that some equipment was lost/misplaced/unaccounted. To date, no evidence has been provided by these staff members.

(a) (i) Detailed information regarding allegations of lost/stolen assets are not readily available for 2015 and 2016. The Department will investigate and revert back in due course.

(ii) The Principal’s report indicates that in 2016, a staff member made allegations against a Campus Manager at the Ellis Park Campus involving two missing sofas and a lawn mower. This was investigated and evidence was provided that the sofas were being re-upholstered. The service provider would not release the sofas as there was a misunderstanding regarding the quotation. Payment was effected and the sofas were returned to the College.

The service provider who repaired the lawnmower wanted payment before releasing the machine. Payment was effected and the lawnmower was returned to the College.

The above report was provided to the complainant but he was not satisfied with the explanation. The Principal has requested the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) specialists deployed at colleges to investigate this matter. The College is still awaiting this report.

(b) The College had three incidents of armed robbery and theft of computers at the Crown Mines campus over a 12 month period.

The College also had an incident of an armed robbery at the Troyeville campus during the early hours of 6 November 2016 where approximately 150 computers were stolen.

(aa) The armed robberies apparently involved groups of 10-12 heavily armed men who overpowered the night guards and locked down the sites.

(bb) These cases were reported to the South African Police Services.

(cc) The College has revised its security arrangements and is in the process of installing updated surveillance and monitoring equipment, and improving access control. The College has also replaced all the stolen computers.

(ii) Batsumi Travel (Pty) Ltd.

(b) Ms Lisa Sebogodi (Owner and Director)

(c) (i) One of the major events, which the Department participates annually, is the Mandela-Day Career Festival. Initially the Department was going to share the management responsibilities with other partakers and would thus not be mainly responsible for the procurement. This however changed with the nearing of the event. In order for the Department to be mainly responsible for the procurement, a bid process had to be followed to secure service providers to arrange and manage the event. Therefore, the urgent appointment of an events management company was of essence, which led to the shortened period for advertising.

(ii) The Department compiled a list of planned events, though it was not conclusive and all-inclusive.

The Culture, Arts, Tourism, Hospitality and Sports Sector Education and Training Authority (CATHSSETA) has provided the following responses to the questions posed.

1. Mr Lesego Luyanda Alexander was awarded a bursary to study International Hospitality Management at the Ecole Hotelliere Lausanne in Switzerland from 31 March 2013 to March 2017.

(a) The former Chief Executive Officer (Mr Mike Tsotetsi) approved the bursary.

(b) The bursary was awarded for a study field / programme on the scarce and critical skills list.

2. (a) The bursary was subsequently withdrawn when CATHSSETA was placed under administration on 15 October 2015.

(b) The bursary was withdrawn as funding was not in line with the CATHSSETA funding framework and it was found to have been irregularly awarded.

3. (a) Yes.

(b) CATHSSETA has filed for a counter-application to pray for a Declaratory Order to the effect that it has complied with its obligations in terms of the agreement entered into with the bursary recipient. The latter has to repay the amounts that were overpaid for the third and fourth year of his studies. The matter was set down for hearing on 29 January 2018.

4. There were irregularities in the awarding of the bursary, as there were no policies regulating the process of awarding international bursaries. Furthermore, the amount awarded was not in line with the CATHSSETA bursary funding framework of R67 000.00 per learner. The relevant staff members were accordingly charged with misconduct.

5. Costs still needs to be confirmed and will be made available when finalised.

Bagraim, Mr M to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

(a) Who is the current (i) chairperson of the board and (ii) Chief Executive Officer of the Culture, Arts, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Sector Education and Training Authority, (b) on what date was each person appointed and (c) what are the relevant details of the procedures of each selection committee for each appointment?

Reply:

a) (i) The Chairperson is Mr Pumzile Kedama.

(ii) The Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is Ms Keitumetse Pebane.

(b) The Chairperson of the Board was appointed on 07 April 2017 and the Acting CEO was appointed on 15 November 2017.

(c) The Minister is empowered by the Skills Development Act, 97 of 1998
(as amended) to appoint the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA). The appointments were undertaken as follows:

Chairperson appointment – The appointment was made in line with the provisions of the Skills Development Act, 97 of 1998. In terms of Section 11(1) (a), the Minister must appoint the Chairperson of the Accounting Authority of a SETA after consultation with the National Skills Authority (NSA). Furthermore, Section 11(1)(b) provides that the Minister must by notice in the Government Gazette, invite nominations for the position of the Chairperson of the Accounting Authority from interested parties in the relevant sector. In appointing the Chairperson, a Government Gazette was issued inviting nominations. All nominations were processed which resulted in the identification of a suitable potential candidate for the position. The Minister consulted with the NSA who concurred.

Acting CEO appointment - In terms of the regulations for the Conditions of Service and Appointment of the Chief Executive Officer for the SETAs published in Government Gazette No 34720 of 4 November 2011, the Minister is responsible to appoint the CEO of a SETA based on three names recommended by the Accounting Authority in accordance with the SETA Standard Constitution. There is no specific provision in the Act or Regulations that guides the appointment of the acting CEO for a temporary period. After noticing a trend in which SETAs have been appointing acting CEOs without consulting the Minister, the Department issued a circular regulating the appointment of acting CEOs. In terms of this circular, the Accounting Authority of a SETA is required to submit the names of three individuals to the Minister for consideration as the Acting CEO. The Accounting Authority submitted a recommendation with three names for the Minister’s consideration before the acting appointment was made.

Bucwa, Ms H to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

(a) Why did the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) fail to spend R2,57 billion of funding for student support in the 2016-17 financial year, (b) what is the detailed breakdown of the plans that the specified funding was supposed to address and (c) what is the total number of potential grant recipients who were affected; (2) why did the NSFAS loan impairment increase to R29 billion in the specified financial year; (3) (a) why did NSFAS fail to give universities half of the upfront payment due to them at the beginning of the 2017 academic year, (b) how were (i) universities and (ii) students affected and (c) what plans have been put in place to prevent this from reoccurring in 2018; (4) (a) why did NSFAS fail to give around 60% of students their living allowances during the specified timeframe in the 2017 academic year and (b) what plans have been put in place to prevent this from reoccurring in 2018?

1. (a) For the 2016/17 financial year, the Department of Higher Education and Training made additional funds available for two new funding categories, i.e.
R2.543 billion for historic debt and R2.039 billion for a funding category named the Kgodiso Fund. The historic debt funding was a once-off funding that was made available to assist approximately 71 000 students who qualified for NSFAS in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 academic years, but were either under- or un-funded. The processing of claims for this funding category required the pre-auditing of claims by verifying student fee statements, previous funding status, proof of registration and the inclusion of the student on the original approved lists from universities. This was to ensure that the funded students met the criteria for funding by NSFAS, and to ensure that no duplicate claims were paid. The Kgodiso Fund was earmarked for the same cohort of students funded through the historic debt-funding category, but was intended to meet their study costs for the 2016 academic year and subsequent years onwards.

The unutilised R2.57 billion was re-distributed from these two funding categories, due to a number of factors. Firstly, universities were not able to submit loan agreement forms for all the students originally identified as needing funding for their historic debt from 2013 to 2015, despite extensions provided by NSFAS. This was because many of the students were no longer on campus and therefore did not come forward to sign agreements. Where agreements were signed, many of the students did not provide the correct supporting documentation, and therefore could not be processed. This was required to ensure that the funding was being used for its intended purpose. These factors affected the utilisation of both the historic debt and the Kgodiso funding.

Following a directive sent to all institutions by the Department, there were a significant number of first time entering students (FTENs) that registered at the universities but remained unfunded in 2016. Based on information provided by universities, the under-utilised funds from the historic debt and Kgodiso funding categories were then re-directed to fund these students in November 2016, and was at first only made available to FTENs. However, despite the reported need for this funding, the FTENs funding was not fully utilised, as students either could not take up the funding or did not accept the funding made available within the financial year. There is anecdotal evidence that some students would not sign loan forms, as they believed they should be funded without any obligations.

In addition to the university funding outlined above, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college funding was not fully utilised as not all colleges had sufficient numbers of enrolled students. This effectively means that some colleges had fewer enrolled students than anticipated and were not able to claim all the allocated funds. These funds were then re-allocated to colleges that required more funding later in the year. The latter colleges then claimed the re-allocated funding in the 2017 academic year as a late payment.

(b) This R2.57 billion was allocated to the following funding programmes:

Funding Programme	Received 2016 R’m	Disbursed 2016 R’m	Underspend 2016 R’m	Utilisation %
DHET-Historic Debt	4 581	3 160	1 421	69%
FTENs	2 142	1 309	833	61%
Historic Debt	1 294	894	400	69%
Kgodiso	1 145	957	188	84%
DHET General and Other	4 656	4 542	114	97%
TVETs	2 434	2 109	325	87%
Other funders	2 449	1,732	717	71%
Total	14,120	12,411	2 577	87%

(c) At an estimated average full cost of study of R49 210 for the 2016/17 financial year, the under-utilisation of R 2.252 billion amounts to approximately 45 760 students. At an estimated average full cost of study of R8 660 for the TVET college funding, the under-utilisation of R325 million amounts to approximately 37 520 students.

2. It should be noted that the R29 billion is not the impairment value, but the gross carrying amount of the student loan book before impairment. The gross carrying amount increased from R24 billion in the prior year. Valuation adjustments were R16.9 billion compared to R14.9 billion in the prior year.

NSFAS met its collections target during the 2016/17 financial year, accordingly there was no impairment loss recorded in the 2016/17 financial year. The valuation adjustments referred to above reflect what is called the “social benefit component” of the NSFAS loans. It is effectively the value discounted on the loans through the offering of an interest holiday, the concessionary interest rate and flexible repayment terms.

3. (a) NSFAS’s financial year starts on 1 April and this is when the first tranche of funding is received from the Department. However, institutions start their academic year in January. NSFAS has therefore, for the last few years, made upfront payments to institutions between January and March, out of its own reserves (recoveries and interest income) before it receives its first tranche from the Department. The upfront payments allow NSFAS students to enrol without paying registration fees and to assist institutions with their cash flow.

There has been a significant increase in allocations to NSFAS during the 2015 and 2016 academic years. This meant that the commitment to pay 30% of the allocations as upfront payments could no longer be funded from current reserves. NSFAS paid an initial 15% of the allocation to institutions on 16 January 2017 and then a further 15% upfront payment in April 2017, as soon as the first tranche of funding had been received from the Department.

(b) Assurances were made to universities that the upfront payments would be paid, and further to the commitment made by the Minister and NSFAS Chairperson, students that were provisionally funded by NSFAS were not required to make registration deposits as these were offset by the upfront payments.

(c) NSFAS is working hard on increasing the revenue from the recoveries in the 2017/18 financial year. These recoveries will then be used to make the upfront payments in the 2018 academic year.

4. (a) Of the NSFAS students who signed their Loan Agreement Form (LAF) or Schedule of Particulars (SOP) and who were eligible for allowances through sBux in the 2017 academic year, 75.2% received these allowances within seven days after signing. The main reasons for allowance delays were as follows:

NSFAS system processes failed to trigger the funding processing cycle, which resulted in LAFs or SOPs not being processed and loans and bursaries schedules not being fully completed;
Institutions processed student loan adjustments to include allowances after the tuition and residence amounts had already been processed;
A substantial increase in the volume of “top-up” allowances was processed in the 2017 academic year. Due to delays in the submission of registration data to NSFAS, institutions were frequently encouraged to send data for processing;
The frequency of “top-up” allowance processing for the pre-funded students by Funza Lushaka, Department of Social Development and Department of Military Veterans; and
Students, especially at TVET colleges, continue to share cell phone numbers to try to speed up SOPs acceptance. This practise allows students (siblings, family and friends) to sign their SOPs using a central phone number. However, this negatively impacts on sBux disbursement performance as the owners of the shared cell numbers reflect as not being disbursed within the 7-day window period.

(b) In order to prepare for the 2018 academic cycle, NSFAS embarked on various initiatives and projects to stabilise core business processes. These include the following:

- Refreshing the operational value chain to ensure that the full scope of the 2018 operational programme is attended to as part of the strategy to stabilise core business processes and systems;

- Significant emphasis has been placed on improving the end-to-end NSFAS payment process efficiency, through the establishment of a specific task team of technical specialists and subject matter experts;

- Through a rigorous supply chain management process, two additional disbursement providers have been appointed for the 2018 academic year, i.e. Standard Bank and VBS Bank;

- Improving the efficiency of the ranking and provisional funding process so that students can be funded on/before registration and can therefore sign for their LAF or SOPs earlier in the academic year; and

- Streamlining and automating the process of funding preselected students.

The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and Department of Science and Technology (DST) have an existing Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) covering a number of areas of collaboration, including research and issues linked to academic planning for scarce skills.

It is the responsibility of the Council for Higher Education, through its Accreditation Directorate, to evaluate and accredit the programmes and the National Reviews Directorate, to engage with stakeholders, including government departments, on curriculum content.

The DHET provides assistance and guidance towards the formal approval of the programmes and ultimate inclusion of new academic programmes and qualifications on the universities’ programme and qualification mixes (PQMs).

2. (a) The Department is committed to improving the disbursement of bursary funds to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in 2018. TVET colleges have three academic cycles per academic year. NSFAS plans to disburse all funds to TVET colleges by 30 November 2018. It should be noted that the amount reflected under commitment is an indicative amount not to be exceeded. Some of the commitments will not be fully claimed as payments by NSFAS depends on actual students qualifying and being admitted to colleges. After all the claims have been finalised, the remainder of the amount will then be utilized for the colleges who had more than expected NSFAS qualifying students. The indicative allocation and any remaining funds will be rolled over to the new allocation for the next financial year.

(b) The core challenge experienced by the TVET college sector, which leads to the low disbursement of funds, is that very few students are committed to signing the Schedule of Particulars (SoPs). The Department has agreed that NSFAS should consider an alternative option where registration data is used, signed off by the Accounting Officer (College Principal), to substitute the SoP requirement. This will lead to improved disbursement of funds to several institutions. NSFAS has over the last few weeks deployed officials to TVET colleges to expedite the disbursement process and as such, payments have been made weekly to institutions to ensure that they receive funds owed to them. Colleges have been trying to manage the funding of poor students in the interim through their own reserves or seeking advances on their subsidies from the Department. In some cases students had to find funding for themselves which is an untenable situation.

(1)(a) What are the (i) names and (ii) professional designations of each staff member of the Central Johannesburg Technical and Vocational Education and Training College who are employed on a contract basis and (b) why are the specified staff members not employed permanently; (2) Have any plans been put in place to move the specified staff members into permanent positions; if not, why not; and (3) Whether any documents relating to plans to move the specified staff members to permanent positions were mislaid; if so, what (a) are the relevant details and (b) action has been taken to address the situation in each case?

Reply:

1. (a) Names and designation of current 53 contract employees at the college is attached as Annexure A.

(b) Of the 53 staff identified:

Three (3) employees were not on the original list of the college as eligible for permanency;
Seven (7) employees are foreigners and cannot be made permanent without the relevant immigration documents in place;
Thirty nine (39) employees did not undergo any recruitment and selection processes as per confirmation with college management and were therefore not eligible in terms of the approved criteria for permanency;
One (1) employee is currently a substitute with a contract end date and is therefore not eligible for permanency due to the nature of the work and project period; and
Three (3) employees are above the annual salary threshold as per criteria outlined in section 198(B) of the Labour Relations Act.

2. The following plans are currently in place:

The college has to confirm the status of three (3) employees who are not on the original list and to apply permanency criteria. Once this is done and if the three employees are eligible, they would be made permanent;
If any of the seven (7) foreigner employees have since received permanent residence status in South Africa and have valid South African identification they would be made permanent. Evidence to this effect will be required from the college before permanency can be confirmed;
The Department is in the process of developing a Collective Agreement that seeks to address the issue of staff who had not undergone recruitment and selection processes nationally and the status of the affected employees can only be finalised on the basis of the Collective Agreement;
The substitute employee’s contract will end once the permanent employee returns to work and this contract will not become permanent; and
The three (3) employees identified as being above the annual salary threshold cannot be made permanent as the approved criteria do not include them.

3. No documents have been mislaid.

1. The expenditure that was deemed irregular was not in respect of a single event. The Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) deemed the appointment of an events management service provider as irregular. The Department advertised the bid for the events management service provider for a shortened period of 14 days instead of the normal 21 days in terms of Treasury Regulation 16 A 6.3 that states, “the accounting officer or accounting authority must ensure that bids are advertised in at least the Government Tender Bulletin for a minimum period of 21 days before closure, except in urgent cases when bids may be advertised for such shorter period as the accounting officer/authority may determine.” According to the AGSA, the reasons provided for the shortened advertising period was not justified. Batsumi Travel (Pty) Ltd was appointed in June 2016 and was thereafter responsible for arranging events for the Department. The expenditure since their appointment amounted to R3.37 million. The irregular expenditure is under review and will be considered for condonement.
