Van Staden, Mr PA to ask the Minister of Health
(1) Whether he or his department intends to disclose more information about the World Health Organisation (WHO) International Pandemic Treaty to opposition parties and the relevant portfolio committees, before voting to ratify it; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether the Government will resist relinquishing any of the Republic’s sovereignty to the WHO as part of the International Pandemic Treaty; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) what are the main points that the South African delegation will try and negotiate into the specified treaty?
Reply:
1. Yes. Section 231 (1) of the Constitution is clear that the negotiation and signing of all international agreements is the responsibility of the national executive. Meaning that international agreements become national law only upon ratification by Parliament. The Minister of Health is therefore enjoined by the Constitution to submit the treaty to Parliament for consideration and approval.
2. No. The draft Pandemic Treaty will be subjected to legal scrutiny by State Law Advisers at the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development to ensure its compliance with the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.
3. For South Africa, it is crucial that the treaty is anchored on human rights to ensure equitable access to available medical solutions in order to improve the health and well-being of all, regardless of socio-economic status or geographical location. Therefore the main points to be pushed by South Africa in this regard are access and equity.

Reply:
(a) There is no specific budget allocated for termination of pregnancy services, however the services are covered under Equitable Share
(b) There is no specific budget calculation for termination of pregnancy, the service/program is not a stand-alone programme it falls within the Women, Maternal and Reproductive Health at all level of care, therefore the calculation is done under Equitable share budget.
(c) The clinic cannot turn away the clients however; clinic can only refer clients on the following basis:
-
- If there is no one trained and providing the termination of pregnancy services in a facility; the health care workers, don’t turn them away BUT refer clients where services are rendered
- If the client is above 12 weeks, and there is no Doctor who can provide the above 12 weeks’ cases in a facility as stipulated in the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act, 92 of 1996, then the client can be referred to next level of care where second trimester termination of pregnancy is offered;
- If the client is above 20 weeks, however the client can be counselled on pregnancy resolutions e.g. adoption etc.
(d) The National Department of Health did not receive reports from provinces indicating challenges related to backlog on termination of pregnancy
(e) The National Department of Health has developed the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Training Package/Curriculum consisting of 14 modules.

(f)-(g) Staff vacancy rate. The Department do not have the vacancy rate specific for termination of pregnancy however the service is being rendered under Women, Maternal and Reproductive Health programme. There is no breakdown of vacancies because termination of pregnancy is not a standalone programme it is offered under the Women, Maternal and Reproductive Health programme.
(h) The Department Conduct Value Clarification and mind transformation workshop to address unwillingness and negative attitude of the health care workers at all levels of care. Choice on termination of pregnancy guidelines (2019) provides guidance to managers, frontline workers and service users to respond to issues on conscientious objection which is described as blocking access to care .

Ceza, Mr K to ask the Minister of Finance
In light of the Auditor-General’s report in the 2020-21 financial year which indicated that municipalities relied on costly consultants in the short-term to compensate for the lack of financial management and reporting skills, which provisions have been put in place by her department in ensuring a strengthened control environment in order to avoid unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure?
Reply:
The Honourable Member should note that the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), vests financial governance, accountability and responsibility for a municipality with the municipal council and its administration. This includes appointment of relevant and appropriate skills, ensuring proper internal controls are implemented and to prevent the incurrence of unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure (UIFW).
Specifically, section 62 of the MFMA provides that the accounting officer of a municipality is responsible for managing the financial administration of the municipality, and must for this purpose ensure internal controls, take all reasonable steps to ensure that unauthorised, irregular or fruitless and wasteful expenditure and other losses are prevented, amongst others.
The National Treasury has issued cost containment regulations that elaborate on the process to be followed and measures to be implemented by municipalities on the use of consultants with the objective of reducing reliance thereon. The Regulations requires a thorough needs assessment to be undertaken to demonstrate the need for appointing a consultant. In cases where consultants are appointed, a municipality must ensure the transfer of skills by consultants to municipal officials are included in all contracts.
A number of MFMA Circulars have been issued and officials trained in implementing their financial management responsibilities, including regulating a set of minimum requirements. These address all financial management disciplines, including revenue management, asset management, expenditure management and liability management.
Additionally, the National and Provincial Treasuries, have collaborated to render support to municipalities in various ways, both technical, financial and at knowledge sharing platforms. The issuance of the UIFW reduction strategy documents, preventative controls and assistance in preparation of support plans for implementation by municipalities are geared to address these financial challenges. Furthermore, all municipalities are required to assess their Budget and Treasury Office capability, capacity and competencies in financial management and to implement corrective measures to address gaps and audit findings. These have been communicated in MFMA Circulars available on the National Treasury website. Training has been provided and will continue in the use of these tools, interpretation of accounting standards, preparation of annual financial statements and disclosures to municipal officials.

The system could not retrieve information dating back beyond 2018 as Disaster Management did not have a separate vote. The budget was under Programme 3.
(2) The Department of Cooperative Governance does not keep records of the provincial government. The Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC) indicated that due to the changes in staff and technology, it is difficult to access the information dating back to 2007. The Provincial Disaster Management requires at least a month to locate these documents and furnish them to Ms E L Powell. This is mainly because the staff at the PDMC is still busy assisting with the coordination and supporting the stabilisation and recovery, the rehousing of people who have lost homes and restoring provision of services as a result of the flood disaster that have taken place.

Siwisa, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
What (a) actions does his department intend to take against scrap yard owners who buy stolen cables from criminals and (b) intervention measures will be put in place to ensure that no scrap yard is allowed to buy stolen cables in future? [
Reply:
During the Budget Vote on Trade and Industry, I noted that building an enabling environment for industrialisation requires securing our key network infrastructure, such as energy and logistics, and protecting our electrical grid and rail network from the continued threat of scrap metal syndicates. I committed that by the end of July, the Department will have developed and tabled a draft policy on scrap metal, which will introduce a blend of domestic and export measures to address illegal trade in copper cable and scrap metal.
Since then, research has been completed and Cabinet has been briefed on the overall strategy. A document setting out the draft policy is being developed and will be published for public comment shortly.

Reply:
CCIFSA have since responded as follows:
(a). Yes, board members are getting paid a salary of R30 000 per month. With regards to CCIFSA boards allowances, the organisation conducted research on how other confederations like SASCOC and other institution operates, and the board fees are therefore in line with the industry standards.
(b). CCIFSA is a democratic organisation that accommodates all races, as a result there are members of colour in the organisation; however, the Executive do not have any control on the outcomes of conferences as this was done through an open democratic process. However, the current leadership has already reached out to organisations like TUMSA, SACIA and Visual Arts Network of South Africa (VANSA). The first two organisations are currently associates of the organisation with the purpose of winning their confidence to be fully members of the organisation; and engagements are going on with VANSA with the purpose of finding each other and working together, no formal relationship has been finalized between the two organisations yet.
As the current leadership, we are unable to respond to whether CCIFSA is not representing the creatives. We believe that CCIFSA has played significant role in organising the sector. CCIFSA has managed to create a platform where national organisations are able to engage and discuss challenges of the sector and find ways of resolving them.
(c). The organisation plans to hold an AGM in the next financial year as it needs budget for that, the current budget can only cover administration, and few identified critical programmes. The organisation is doing everything in its power to source more funds including applying to National Lottery to raise more funds to push the work of the federation.

Schreiber, Dr LA to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1).Whether his department is currently engaged in a process to remove Afrikaans from the Afrikaans Language Monument located in Paarl, Western Cape; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, on what legal basis is he relying to remove Afrikaans from the Afrikaans Language Monument, given the fact that the entire purpose of the monument is to celebrate the diverse influences from Africa and across the globe that shaped the indigenous African language; (2). whether the process means that his department has effectively banned the existence of any monument that celebrates any of the indigenous languages of the Republic or is it only the Afrikaans language that is prohibited from having such a monument; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the details of any public participation process around the proposal to remove Afrikaans from the Afrikaans Language Monument?
Reply:
No such policy has been made by the Department or the Ministry to remove Afrikaans from the name of the Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en monument. So there will be no name change on the atm. We have charged our entities to ensure that as part of the language development, the entity should take on board at least one indigenous language.

Komane, Ms RN to ask the Minister of Public Service and Administration
In light of the fact that 6 457 employees of the Public Service were still receiving outdated housing allowance as at 31 March 2022, what are the reasons that (a) this is still happening and (b) it has not yet been reviewed and/or corrected?
Reply:
a) Employees who are receiving the old housing allowance are those who have not submitted the required housing allowance documents to their respective Human Resource Sections within their respective departments. The required documents include a completed and signed application form for homeowners, proof of home ownership as well as proof that the employee occupies the property concerned. Upon submission of the necessary documents, the affected employees shall receive the current amount of R1 500.07 per month.
b) The only way for the affected employees to move from the outdated housing allowance, is to comply with the information as stipulated in (a) above. In 2015 and 2016 respectively, the DPSA issued Circulars (17/3/P) to all government departments detailing the manner in which the implementation of migration to the new housing allowance should occur.
In addition to previously issued Circulars, the Director-General will again communicate with Directors-General and Heads of Departments of the affected departments and provincial administrations regarding the importance of migrating employees to the new housing allowance system. The Circular will be issued in June 2022.
Over and above issuing Circulars, Government Employees Housing Scheme conducts information Sessions with Human Resource Practitioners in government departments to engage on issues of compliance with the prescripts of housing allowance for the benefit of government employees.

Mokgotho, Ms SM to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
What contingency plans have been put in place by his department to alleviate the challenge of water shortages in the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality where residents have been informed to use water sparingly?
Reply:
My department is working closely with Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM) and other affected and interested stakeholders to manage resources in the Algoa Water Supply System (AWSS). Monthly water use monitoring meetings are held to ensure that all users adhere to the restrictions imposed by my department.
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has developed a model to determine the percentage water restrictions that must be implemented to try and ensure that NMBM as well as the whole Algoa water supply system which includes Koukamma LM, Kouga LM as well as the Gamtoos Irrigation Board does not run out of water. This model is run on an annual basis to determine the domestic as well as the irrigation restrictions that must be implemented to ensure that the whole Algoa system does not reach day zero.
Restrictions were set at 40% of the water resources from the Western side of NMBM. The NMBM could not bring down their water use to the total restricted water use of 222Ml/day. The municipality could only reduce water use to 280 to 290Ml/day despite implementing several projects such as awareness campaigns, leak repairs, pressure management, increase in water tariffs, installation of water use restrictors to reduce the water use.
Interventions already being implemented include the following:
- The DWS previously provided drought funding to the metro to increase the capacity of the Nooitgedacht WTW (Phase 2) to supply more water from the Fish-Sundays River water supply system.
- The DWS further funded the Nooitgedacht Coega Low Level Phase 3 scheme which entailed the construction of a 45Ml/day balancing reservoir, an additional section to Water Treatment Plant of 70Ml/day to augment the current water supply from 140Ml/day to 210Ml/day. This project reached practical completion at the end of March 2022, which means that an additional 70Ml/day can be supplied to NMBM.
- Support to the NMBM to apply for drought funding to COGTA to augment the pumping capacity of the Motherwell and Stanford Road pumpstations and pump additional water to the Western side. COGTA has allocated R58 million drought funding towards this project and the DWS is part of the implementation team
- The DWS has allocated funding since 2019 towards the development of groundwater in the Kouga Local Municipality to reduce the water requirements of Kouga LM from the NMBM supply dams
The DWS is engaging the NMBM, GOGTA and National Treasury to discuss other possible solutions to ensure that the Western side of NMBM does not run out of water. One of the solutions under consideration is to pump more water from the Eastern side (where unrestricted water is available) to the Western side of the Metro.
Discussions have also been held with the Strategic Water Partner’s network to establish a Nelson Mandela Bay / Gqberha Water Partnership. This entails possible funding from the Private Sector to assist with interventions such leak repairs, water demand management as well as appointing experts to assist with the management of the water crisis. This will be managed by the Strategic Water Partner’s network in collaboration with NMBM and the NMB Business Forum.
Be assured that my department takes the current situation in NMBM serious and will assist the Metro to try and ensure that there will be water supply to the customers.
