Seitlholo, Mr IS to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether, in light of the fact that the SA National Roads Agency Limited is the entity that is responsible for the maintenance of national roads, he will furnish Mr I S Seitlholo with the maintenance plan for the N12 between Stilfontein and Klerksdorp or Matlosana given the current dire condition of the specified road; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Maintenance activities are carried out continually on the N12 and there is a dedicated Routine Road Maintenance team working on the road. Most of the N12 road under SANRAL jurisdiction is in a good condition.
There is a sinkhole that developed on the N12 near Stilfontein in the North West province. The sinkhole on the road reserve has affected both SANRAL and municipal land. To address this, SANRAL appointed consulting engineers who completed the required design work. For construction work to commence, SANRAL requires that a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) be entered into between itself and the Matlosana Local Municipality. SANRAL is in constant communication with the Matlosana Local Municipality to finalise the MOA.
SANRAL has gone out on public tender for the appointment of a contractor to repair the sinkhole but cannot complete the award of the construction tender until the MOA is finalised.

Van Minnen, Ms BM to ask the Minister of Transport
(1)In view of the recent oversight visit by the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to various Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) stations and locations in Gauteng, including the train station in Mabopane north of Pretoria which is the subject of ownership contestation (PRASA could not obtain an occupation certificate from the City of Tshwane. Part of the property belongs to Tutuni Investments 31 PTY LTD), what is the (a) current situation regarding the land ownership and (b) reason that a Prasa station is located on private land; (2) (a) how was planning permission granted to construct the station, (b) who granted the permission and (c) on what date was such permission granted; (3) what is the current situation with regard to the security contract; (4) whether any permanent security is in place to prevent ongoing damage and vandalism; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. (a) The Mabopane train station has been built prior to 1980, with the ownership falling under the South African Railway and Harbours Administration (SAR&H). During all the changes in administration, the land ownership has changed as set below.
The station comprises of two interlinked terminals: the railway terminal and the bus terminal. The railway terminal is located on land owned by PRASA and the bus terminal, at the time of construction, was locate on three land parcels:
(1) Portion 3 of Farm Rietgat No 611–JR
(2) Remainder of Farm Boekenhoutfontein No 236–JR
(3) Portion 266 of Farm Rietgat No 611–JR
Land parcel (1), was owned by the State and fell under the jurisdiction of Department of Land Affairs. The Department of Land Affairs agreed to donate this property to the South Africa Rail Commuter Corporation (SARCC, currently PRASA). A recommendation to dispose the property was done in 2006 and was approved by the Minister of Land Affairs. National Treasury also granted approval to donate the land parcel to PRASA on 16 May 2007. The State Attorney was appointed to effect the transfer. To date, the transfer has not taken place, however, the State Attorney’s office is reopening the case and will complete the transaction.
In April 2000, Land parcel (2) and (3) were consolidated into a single property known as Farm Mabopane No 702–JR and registered via title deed T73872/2012 in favour of City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (City of Tshwane). According to the Department of Land Affairs, the City of Tshwane had agreed in principle to transfer the portion of land, on which the bus station is located, to PRASA.
In 2008, City of Tshwane transferred the remainder of Farm Mabopane No 702–JR, to Tutuni Investments 31 PTY LTD, No 2008/002145/07.
In 2012, Farm Mabopane No 702–JR, was subdivided to create portions 44 – 58. These newly created portions were registered in favour of various owners. On 28 September 2012, the remainder of the Farm reverted to the City of Tshwane via Title Deed T73872/2012.
Portion 52, which included the portion on which the bus terminal is constructed on, was surveyed via SG Diagram No 2683/2012 by Mr G Pettit (Professional Land Surveyor, PLS0913) and registered in favour of Tutuni Investments 31 PTY LTD, No 2008/002145/07 on 22 August 2012. Less than a month later, on 10 September 2012, the property was endorsed in favour of Permacorp Investments PTY LTD, No 2011/118721/07.
It needs to be noted that:
- The survey created a property cutting through a building, and
- Both transactions, registration of the remainder of Farm Mabopane No 702–JR and the portion 52 were handled by the same attorneys Maponya Incorporated.
(b) Portion 3 of Farm Rietgat No 611–JR (donation to PRASA) is with the State Attorney who was appointed to effect the transfer.
The ownership of a portion of Portion 52, on which the station is situated, is still in private ownership after having been transferred by the City of Tshwane in 2008, as stated above. The City of Tshwane committed that they would assist with resolving the issue around the land they sold but has not yet done so. The land must be urgently acquired, either through negotiations or expropriation.
2. (a), (b) and (c)
Project planning for the improvement and upgrade of Mabopane Station commenced during 2013/14. The zoning and land ownership issues was known by PRASA and the City of Tshwane. As the building was in existence and only to be upgraded, the construction team, relied on the provision of subsection 4 of the National Building Regulations and Building Standard Act 103 of 1997 which prescribes that:
“…in respect of any building to be erected by or on behalf of the State, such plans, specifications and certificate as may be prescribed by national building regulation, shall before the commencement of such erection be lodged with the local authority in question for its information and comment”.
Construction work therefore commenced on the basis of subsection 4 as set out above and no building plans were lodged for approval.
However, in 2018, PRASA lodged building plans for the Mabopane Concourse with the City of Tshwane to be considered and/or approved. Following submission of the plans, several meetings were held with the City of Tshwane’s Planning Department and the latter eventually communicated on 27 September 2019 that:
- the plans submitted to City of Tshwane’s Planning Department by PRASA cannot be supported,
- the Occupation Certificate cannot be issued due to the Station Precinct, stretching over a number of erven (Erf 611/43, Rietgat and the remaining extend of portion 3 and 52 of Rietgat) and
- the land parcels and rights is not supporting the current use.
3. There is currently a security contracts in place on the Mabopane – Pretoria corridor. Personnel has been deployed compromising of both PRASA internal security and those sourced through private security companies. To date, there has been no vandalism or crime incidents reported since the deployments.
4. PRASA has deployed 160 permanently employed security officers on the corridor. The private security contract expires in September 2022.

a) In 2018/2019 financial year, the top four executives earned a total of R3,404,000. The average was R 851,000 each. This average is distorted by the executive who worked only two months in the year and resigned. The average for the three executives excluding the resigned manager is 1,098,000.

Joseph, Mr D to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1). What are the new revised international standards prescribed for anti-doping for sport codes that the SA Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) had to comply with from 2021; (2). whether SAIDS has amended their policy and procedures for compliance; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, how did the sport codes respond to the amendments?
Reply:
(1). The revised World Anti-Doping Code came into effect in January 2021. The revised Code includes mandatory compliance to the following International anti-doping standards:
- International Standard for Education
- International Standard for Testing and Investigations
- International Standard for the Protection of Personal Information.
(2). In 2020 SAIDS sent a draft of the 2021 South African Anti-Doping Rules to all national sports federation and stakeholders in sport. These sports entities were granted a three-month period to provide comment and feedback on the National Anti-doping Rules.
No significant comments were received that necessitated amending the initial draft. Subsequently, the SA Anti-Doping Rules were adopted by the Board of SAIDS and came into force in January 2021. These rules were amended to include the additional rules and obligations of the 2021 World Anti-Doping Code and the UNESCO Convention Against Doping in Sport.

King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
What amount did his department (a) budget for and (b) spend on the renovations of the official residence of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of South Africa?
Reply:
The Department allocates funds to universities through the block grant and earmarked grants, outlined in a Ministerial Statement every year. University budgets are approved by their Councils, who have the decision-making responsibility on budgeting issues. The block grant funding is discretionary, and guided by university’s own budget processes. The earmarked grants are subject to specific reporting requirements, including the Infrastructure and Efficiency Grant (IEG) where the funds benefit the greater university community. The Department therefore did not budget for the UNISA VC’s house renovations.
The University was requested to respond and the total cost for the Cloghereen Renovations amounted to R 2 050 842. This includes kitchen upgrades, floors, walls, electricals, plumbing and wet works. The total budgeted amount was R2 031 869.

King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
What amount was spent on the inaugural functions of the Vice-Chancellors of (a) the University of South Africa, (b) Fort Hare University and (c) the University of Cape Town?
Reply:
The Department allocates funds to universities through the block grant and earmarked grants, outlined in a Ministerial Statement every year. University budgets are approved by their Councils, who have the decision-making responsibility on budgeting issues. The block grant funding is discretionary, and guided by university’s own budget processes. The earmarked grants are subject to specific reporting requirements, including the Infrastructure and Efficiency Grant (IEG) where the funds benefit the greater university community. The Department therefore does not budget for any inaugural ceremonies at universities. Herewith responses from the three institutions:
(a) The total cost for the Investiture of the VC of Unisa amounted to R648 783.00 amongst other things the cost included the following;
- Live Stream at R127 742
- Catering at R341 167
- Entertainment at R93 000
(b) The total cost for the inauguration of the VC of Fort Hare was R134 050.73. The inauguration of Professor Sakhela Buhlungu in 2017 was a joint inauguration ceremony for the Vice-Chancellor and the Chancellor, Advocate Dumisa Ntsebeza, as Advocate Ntsebeza was also newly appointed. The Table below reflects the breakdown of the amounts spent:
Catering |
R25 000.00 |
Academic gown and bonnet: Chancellor* |
R33 375.00 |
Academic gown and bonnet: Vice-Chancellor* |
R25 385.00 |
Courier cost: gowns and bonnets |
R350.00 |
Flights and accommodation for the Chancellor and his spouse |
R14 940.73 |
Draping of the hall and sound system |
R35 000.00 |
TOTAL |
R134 050.73 |
*Although the costs of the gowns and bonnets for the Vice-Chancellor and the Chancellor were once-off payments, this attire is of course always worn by the Vice-Chancellor and Chancellor for all formal academic functions of the University. Although these costs have been included in the calculation of the cost of the inauguration, these costs are therefore not strictly speaking ‘inauguration function costs.’
(c) The current UCT Vice-Chancellor was installed as Vice-Chancellor at a UCT graduation ceremony in 2018. The additional expenses incurred for the installation, over and above those of the graduation ceremony, was in the order of R300 000.

Ceza, Mr K to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
In light of the fact that the African Union (AU) member states have signed many declarations such as Lomé Declaration, yet they fail in implementation and application of the measures, what has she found to be the reason that the AU is failing to implement policies?
Reply:
The African Union (AU) and its member states strongly uphold the implementation of the provisions of the Lomé Declaration of July 2000 on the Framework for the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) response to unconstitutional changes of Government, and the related instruments for responding to unconstitutional changes of government. The African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) is the principal organ within the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) to promote peace and security on the Continent, which includes addressing unconstitutional changes of government.
The APSA also embodies the principles of subsidiarity and complementarity. The APSA relies on the respective Regional Economic Communities/Regional Mechanisms (RECs/RMs) to take the lead in the regions, including in addressing coups d’états, with the PSC following up. This was done in every case where a coup occurred in the last year, including Mali, Guinea Conakry, Sudan, and Burkina Faso, which have all been suspended from the AU. At no time has the AU ever suspended four member states in one year for the same reason, that of unconstitutional changes of government.
The Report of the Peace and Security Council of the AU on its activities and the state of peace and security in Africa presented at the February 2022 AU Summit, as well as the numerous interventions by Heads of State and Government in the course of the deliberations, addressed the surge in unconstitutional changes of Government. The coups were unanimously and strongly condemned. These actions demonstrate that the AU and its members are committed to implementing the provisions of the AU Constitutive Act, the Protocol Relating to the establishment of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, and the Lomé Declaration, as well as all related instruments, in the quest to promote democracy, good governance and the rule of law on the Continent.
South Africa will assume a two-year seat on the AU Peace and Security Council on 1 April 2022 and will work steadfastly for the effective use of the APSA, including the powers of the PSC.

In light of the fact that (a) he and (b) the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee expected more medals for the Republic and a better performance at the Tokyo Olympic Games, what (i) are the reasons that there were media reports that there would be no incentives paid to the medal winners and (ii) amount was budgeted for the incentives?
Reply:
1. The media reports were incorrect, the correct message was that we were working with our Stakeholders such as the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture and National Lotteries Commission to provide incentives. This was also clarified at a media conference that was held after the Games (August 2021).
2. The amount budgeted and paid out by DSAC & NLC was R4.40m.

Luthuli, Mr BN to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture:”
(1) Whether, in light of the recent reopening of the Hip-Hop Museum in Newtown with the backing of his department, his department has backed a Maskandi museum or similar project in the past; if not, why not; if so, what are the full, relevant details; (2). whether his department has any plans to support similar initiatives in the future?
Reply:
1. The Ministerial media engagement to promote the relationship that the Department has with the Hip-Hop Museum was held on 3 February 2022. The event was not held to open the Hip-Hop Museum. The Department also did not build the Hip-Hop Museum.
The event was held to profile the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture engineering and contribution to the Cultural and Creative Industry (CCI) Recovery and Reconstruction Plan. The event was also aimed to promote the projects and programmes, which are beneficiaries of the CCI Recovery and Reconstruction Plan Interventions and the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme. The project is aimed at profiling all institutions that have benefitted through the CCI Recovery and Reconstruction Plan Interventions and the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme.
2. The Department is open to consider collaborating and supporting any project that seeks to promote the development of our heritage and cultures as it provide economic opportunities to our people including the promotion of the Maskandi music.
My department has over years consciously promoted and continue to promote Maskandi. We held national conference in 2018 specifically for Maskandi on strategies of assisting the Maskandi genre.
We support annual South African Traditional Music Awards through our entity National Heritage Council. In our cultural diplomacy program we include Maskandi as we criss cross the world. The last of such was the visit to Angola where a Maskandi group was part of the program led by Dr Buselaphi Gxowa.

Opperman, Ms G to ask the Minister of Social Development
(a) What are the reasons that 19 funded vacant posts have been frozen in the 2021-22 financial year and (b) by what date will the specified vacancies be filled?
Reply:
(a) Due to a moratorium that was placed during March 2018 on the process of filling posts as well as the financial constraints experienced by the Department as a result of the drastic budget cuts to the compensation budget, the Department could not fill all its vacant posts and commenced with a process of prioritising critical posts to be filled.
The National Department did not freeze any vacant posts on its approved post establishment during 2021-22 financial year.
Due to the reduction in the compensation budget of the Department, not all funded vacant posts may be filled, and the Department is currently undergoing a prioritisation process in this regard.
The Department also identified other critical skills that are required in the Organisation, these include data analysts, researchers, economists and policy developers. This will necessitate a re-prioritisation of posts thus impacting on the vacant posts.
The prioritisation process is crucial as it will ensure that the Department does not overspend on the compensation budget over the medium term.
(b) The filling of vacant posts is an ongoing process, as one post is filled, another becomes vacant. The filling of posts are therefore always at various stages of the recruitment process.

Reply:
a) I would like to first inform the Honourable Member that for any offender’s name to be registered on the Child Protection Register (CPR), the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development through the courts, provides the Department of Social Development with all convictions of all people charged with child abuse, neglect or exploitation.
It is the legislative competence of courts to decide and declare any person unsuitable to work with children. The courts and forums such as the South African Council of Educators (SACE) have an important role in declaring any person unsuitable to work with children based on convictions and disciplinary proceedings.
The breakdown of the number of persons registered on the CPR is as follows:
(i) 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017 is 23,
(ii) 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018 is 509,

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1). Whether, with reference to TeamSA for the Tokyo Olympic Games, the initial decision not to pay any incentives to the medal winners was because (a) he and (b) the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) have found that women in sport are inferior and do not deserve to be treated as equal to men; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (2). whether the initial decision not to pay any incentives to the medal winners was because (a) he and (b) the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) have found that winners are not representative of the demographics of the Republic; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. SASCOC’s Constitution / Policy and position is very clear in relation to provision of equal incentives for any athlete who medals at multi-coded events. Discrimination of any form is not tolerated within the Organisation.
2. I as the Minister, I serve all South Africans from all walks of life, race, class or gender is not an issue to me and the political party I belong too.
SASCOC does not tolerate or practice a system of discrimination based on one or more grounds. This includes but not limited to race, gender, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language, or HIV and AIDS status. We also subscribe to the IOC Charter, the Constitution of SA and the SASCOC Constitution in this regard.

Luthuli, Mr BN to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture:”
Whether his department has the capacity to ensure compulsory sports participation at schools in townships and rural areas; if not, what is needed for this to be realised; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
School Sport remains an extra-curricular activity within the Department of Basic Education. This implies that, it remains an option to accommodate within the school’s programme, when all other core-curricular activities have been addressed. To this end, only Physical Education, through the Life Orientation Subject, remains a compulsory subject within the school’s curriculum. The implementation and the enforcement of the curriculum remain the function of the Department of Basic Education and as the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, we co-operate in the implementation of School Sport through the Memorundam of Agreement. The Minister therefore, cannot make, anything compulsory to the Department of Basic Education.

Masango, Ms B to ask the Minister of Social Development
(1)(a) On what date were the conditions of the old-age grant (OAG) last reviewed? (b) by what amount is the OAG increased annually? (2) whether the conditions of the grant take into consideration the number of dependants the applicant might have when spouses’ combined income is above the threshold; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (3) whether the refusal for the grant is a blanket refusal; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (4) whether there is a review and/or appeals process on a case-by-case basis; if not, why not; if so, what are the various thresholds for refusal?
Reply:
1 (a) The OPG means test formula was last reviewed on 01 April 2011. The formula however is linked to the value of the grant, which is reviewed annually, based on the budget allocated for the grant.
(b) Provision is made for annual inflation related adjustment to all social grants, including the Old Age Grant. However, in recent years, due to fiscal constraints, and budget cuts across government.
(2) The means test assesses the income and assets thresholds of both a single and a married applicant, and does not consider the number of household members. One of the policy proposals in the Discussion Paper on Comprehensive Social Security is to align the means test criteria with the criteria for tax thresholds, and progressively move towards universalisation of all social grants. With regards to dependants of applicants, the Department’s policy is to provide individually for them. For example, if there are children in the household of the applicant, the caregiver can access the Child Support Grant. If there are dependants who have a disability, they can access the Disability Grant, and if there are adult dependants, they can access Social Relief of Distress.
(3) There is no such a thing as “blanket refusal” because every application is subjected to policy provision, including the means test.
(4) Yes, Section 18 of the Social Assistance Act (Act 13 of 2004) makes provision for applicants whose application has been declined to may appeal SASSA’s decision with the Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals.
Once again, I would like to reiterate that there is no such thing as “blanket refusal” as every appeal is assessed on a case-by-case basis. The same qualifying criteria provided for in the Social Assistance Act are used to assess the appeal cases. The 2021/2022 threshold for the Old Age Grant is as follows:
- R 87 720 for and individual
- R175 440 for a couple
The asset threshold for the OPG is:
- R 1 247 400 for an individual, and
- R 2 494 800 for a couple.

Joseph, Mr D to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
1. Whether all sport codes have given their cooperation to the SA Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) whose legislative mandate it is to ensure doping control and investigations; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; 2. with reference to education and research programmes, how has COVID-19 impacted the work of SAIDS?
Reply:
(1) The overwhelming majority of national sports federations cooperate actively with SAIDS and pro-actively engage on matters pertaining to drugs that affect their athletes. In 2018 SAIDS fined the national federation, Body-Building SA for the high number of doping positives and repeated doping offenses at their national championships over a four year period. A fine of R300 000 (three hundred thousand rand) was levied. The transgressions continued in 2019 and 2021. The fine was in line with the articles in the SA Anti-Doping Rules and the World Anti-Doping Code. The matter was escalated to SASCOC in 2019. The then acting CEO refused to act against the federation. The matter has been resent to the new president of SASCOC and the DDG of DSAC. SAIDS identified the amount owing to it by Body-Building SA in our presentation to the Portfolio Committee in 2020.
Towards the end of 2021, the SA Wrestling Federation President threatened to sue SAIDS after one of the national wrestlers was charged with an anti-doping rule violation. SA Wrestling did not follow through with their threats and the wrestler was sanctioned by SAIDS.
(2) The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown had an effect across the board on all our operations. National sports federations were very pro-active in utilising technologies such as Zoom and webinars to collaborate on learning opportunities for their athletes and coaches. All education unit exceeded their performance targets of delivering anti-doping education sessions through virtual channels to different sport audiences.
All athletes who represented South Africa at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo went through an education webinar with our anti-doping education team, prior to leave SA.

McGluwa, Mr JJ to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
1) What are the reasons that the maintenance and infrastructure of the loose border fence were moved to the Border Management Authority; (2) whether there are any budgeted funds available to maintain the infrastructure and loose border fence; if not, why not; if so, what is the current status of the loose border fence?
Reply:
1. Firstly, it should be clarified that the maintenance and infrastructure of the border fence has not yet been moved to the Border Management Authority (BMA). However, it should clearly be noted that the process to do so is underway as provided for in section 38 of the Border Management Authority Act, 2020. In this case, the vehicle to be used to achieve the objective is section 97 of the RSA Constitution, 1996 which empowers the State President to transfer certain functions from one Cabinet member to another. Therefore, the rationale for the transfer of border related assets, liabilities and funds from the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) to the Border Management Authority (BMA) is embedded on the fact that BMA will be operating as a schedule 3(A) public entity outside the public service but within public administration. As such, the BMA has to assume the full responsibility in the management and administration of the relevant border management assets, particularly those located at land borders. To this end, the legal clarity on this matter is located within section 38 (2) of the BMA Act which provides that, “all assets, rights, obligations and liabilities, including the unexpected balance of appropriations, authorisations, allocations and other funds held in connection with the management and administration of border law enforcement, are transferred to the Authority”.
2. As clearly reflected in section 38 (1) of the BMA Act, the funds currently budgeted and used to maintain the border related infrastructure and the fences by the DPWI would be transferred to the BMA in accordance with the requirements of the Public Financial Management Act, 1999. Therefore, the conclusion of the section 97 proclamation processes would locate such maintenance responsibilities to the Authority. As such, the BMA would then resume the responsibility of updating the nation regarding the status of the border fence and all other related border infrastructure.

Arries, Ms LH to ask the Minister of Social Development
What are the reasons that the cash send option for the Social Relief of Distress Grant payments is not yet in place?
Reply:
With the first iteration of the Special COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, SASSA entered into contracts with banks to provide the cash send / mobile money transfer channel for approved applicants who chose this payment option. The reinstatement of the grant was only published in the Government Gazette on 3 August 2021, a month after the expiration of the contracts with the banks. As a result, SASSA had to follow a new procurement process.
SASSA got approval from the National Treasury to follow a closed tender process, directed at banks registered in South Africa only. This process was concluded in December 2021, with only 4 banks of the more than 20 banks in South Africa passing the tender processes. Work is currently underway to conclude the detailed contracts with the banks to be able to provide the cash send payment option.
Since the banks are also contracted to provide a means test for reconsideration of declined applications, SASSA approached the National Treasury for approval to negotiate with the remaining banks, as the service required is not based on competitive bids, but rather the intention is to include as many banks as possible. This will ensure that the most accurate decisions possible are made for applications for the grant. This process is underway.
Despite the mobile money transfer option not being operational at this stage, all applicants for the SRD grant who chose the money transfer method of payment were contacted in order to either provide bank account details, or opt to be paid through the post office, so as not to delay the payments of the approved applicants.

What (a) total number of (i) banks has her department engaged with to verify the financial details of the Social Relief of Distress Grant applicants appeals and (ii) appeals are still outstanding and (b) are the further relevant details in this regard?
Reply:
a) SASSA engaged 7 banks for the first iteration of the Special COVID-19 SRD grant (May 2020 to April 2021). This was specifically for the purposes of means testing reconsideration of declined applicants.
(i) ABSA; First National Bank, Nedbank, Standard Bank; Postbank; Tymebank and Capitec. The contracts expired on 31 July 2021, prior to the implementation of the new iteration of the SRD grant.
SASSA then followed a closed tender process to contract with banks again. To date, no contracts have been finalised with any bank. Currently, contracts are being finalised with ABSA, Nedbank, Standard Bank and Grindrod Bank for the provision of means testing and mobile money transfer services, as these banks passed through the tender process. Approval to negotiate with other banks who did not pass through the tender process for the means testing services, approval is being sought from the National Treasury.
(ii) No outstanding appeals for the first iteration of the SRD grant. With regards to the second iteration, the number of outstanding appeals are as follows:
2021:
August 984 702
September 711 017
October 570 111
November 416 234
December 302 302
2022:
January 141 010
(Please note that the window to request reconsideration is still open for January 2022, so these numbers may still increase. Reconsiderations must be lodged within 30 days of the applicant having received the outcome of their application.
b) The requirement to assess income on reconsideration is set in the Directions for the SRD grant. This is the only means through which SASSA can electronically validate the assertion by the applicant that he/she does not have financial support from any other source. Despite the delays in finalising contracts with the banks, all reconsiderations will be attended to. Once concluded, the contracts will remain in place until end of March 2023. This will enable SASSA to effectively deal with all backlogs.

(2). whether his department will provide Mrs V van Dyk with access to and/or furnish her with a copy of the agreements entered into with the Recording Industry of South Africa; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3). whether his department will furnish Mrs V van Dyk with reports subsequently submitted by the beneficiary for the purpose of assessing (a) compliance with the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999, and Treasury policies and (b) the fulfilment of the conditions that were set by the agreements; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The Department allocated a grant of R2 500 000.00 (TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND RAND ONLY) to the Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA) for the implementation of the 2019 South African Music Awards (SAMAs). Since 1995, the SAMAs have grown to be part of the South African entertainment calendar attracting many participants, fans and media followers. Given their popularity to the public, the SAMAs are also a good platform for marketing local content and one of the drivers of cultural tourism. An estimated 5070 guests attended the awards in 2019 and about 4.5 million viewers tune in to SABC 1 to watch the event live broadcast.
Apart from the awards, RISA also conducted education and awareness campaigns to educate emerging and aspiring artists about music business and Copyrights.
2. The Constitution of the Republic sets out the powers of Parliament and this include the powers to oversee the work of various Departments and public institutions. Within the prescripts of the Constitution and other related legislation and all protocol observed, the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture would be obliged to provide Mrs V van Dyk in her capacity as the member of the legislature with access to and/or furnish her with the copy of the 2019 agreement between the Department and RISA.
3. Abiding by the parameters laid down in the Constitution as well as the Promotion of Access to Information Act, the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and other relevant legislation/s and all protocol observed, the Department would be in a position to furnish or provide access to honourable Mrs Van Dyk with the SAMA 2019 report.

King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
(a) What are the reasons for the slow spending by his department which resulted in R85 million declared unspent funds due to vacant posts not being filled and (b) how will this impact the filling of posts in technical and vocational education and training colleges, given that R35 million unspent due to vacancies, and Community Education and Training colleges had R50 million unspent on vacancies?
Reply:
The projected unspent amount of R85 million on the compensation of employees’ budget relates only to the posts vacated as a result of natural attrition during the 2020/21 and 2021/22 financial years within the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. Natural attrition increased by 2% during the periods mentioned above, mainly due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and resignations, contract expiry and death, at 4.1% and 6.1% respectively. The vacancy rate in 2019/20 was 9.2% and 19% in 2020/21, an increase of 10% in 2020/21. The processes of recruitment and selection were inadvertently affected in 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of the national state of disaster and the lockdown leading to the cumulative effect on the 2021/22 budget. In addition, the Post Provisioning Norms (PPN) for the TVET Colleges could not be fully implemented in 2021/22 as a result of none or late submission of pertinent information by colleges. This resulted in delays in finalising verification processes, as well as transfer of staff to PERSAL. In the 2021/22 financial year, only 24 of the 50 colleges were able to process the PPN with the remaining 26 colleges to be processed from 1 April 2022.
With respect to the Community Education and Training Colleges, projected unspent budget of R50 million, it is due to Persal systemic issues, as the National Treasury could not process the adjustments programmatically, which led to the department adopting a manual phased in approach in effecting salary adjustments, starting in May and completing in September 2021. It should be noted that standardisation entailed a manual process of conversion of payments of salaries from stipends to standardized notches inclusive of benefits such as pension, medical,13th cheque and housing allowances. Whilst CET lecturers were paid the once of gratuity and 1.5% adjustments as per the PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2021, lecturers were paid pro-rated amounts and not the full gratuities as per the directive from the Department of Public Service and Administration, which also led to paying a lesser amount than it was planned for. The standardisation processes have now mostly been undertaken with mop ups now being done to ensure full implementation by 31 March 2022.
Finally, it has to be noted that from September to November 2021 there was a moratorium on the filling of posts for both TVET, CET and Head Office due to transition management.

Arries, Ms LH to ask the Minister of Social Development
What are the reasons that (a) the SA Social Security Agency (SASSA) is still conducting business with a certain company (name furnished), which was implicated in fraud at the Special Investigating Unit in SASSA and (b) a certain SASSA senior official (name furnished) has not been held to account?
Reply:
a) SASSA has a cleaning contract with the company in question which was awarded in April 2022. This contract was not part of the SIU investigation. The contract that the Honourable Member is referring to in which the company was implicated in fraudulent activity relates to the procurement of food parcels under the state of national disaster. The final SIU investigation report became available early this year. The SIU will institute civil proceedings against this company in respect of the food distribution contract.
An investigation was conducted internally against the official and when no evidence of wrong doing was found, the matter was referred to the HAWKS for further investigation. The outcome of the investigation will determine the disciplinary action, including the current contract.

Masango, Ms B to ask the Minister of Social Development
(a) On what date did she first have access to the report of the Special Investigation Unit, (b) what actions has she taken against implicated officials since first having had access to the specified report and (c) what recommendations contained in the report has she implemented thus far?
Reply:
a) I received the preliminary report in December 2021 and the final report last month.
b) Upon receipt of the final report, I made it available to the implicated officials to allow them an opportunity to state their cases in response to the SIU investigation and findings as required by law.
c) The Department had a meeting with the SIU investigators to discuss the report and to seek clarity. The SIU offered its assistance to the Department as it initiates the process to take the necessary disciplinary action against the implicated officials.

b) Students are encouraged to sign-up with the Central Applications Clearing House (CACH) so that firstly they can be considered for spaces available at the other universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. Secondly, students will also be considered for spaces available for integrated work learning. The Department is engaging with several organisations to see if the CACH database could be used for the filling of learnerships and apprenticeships.

Opperman, Ms G to ask the Minister of Social Development
What are the details of the progress that has been made on the investigation of the new venture training programme of the Unemployment Insurance Fund that resulted in a financial loss of R23,2 million?
Reply:
The matter was referred to the Internal Audit Division for further investigation in December 2021, for determination of losses suffered, employees responsible for the irregularity, root causes of the irregularity, and internal control deficiencies that require correction.
In addition, an internal audit of the third-party funds received from the UIF and subsequently transferred to Regenesys, has concluded and recommended that further investigation be undertaken on the utilisation of the funds. The NDA has since obtained approval from National Treasury to participate in the NT 012-2020, Panel of Professional Forensic Investigation Firms, and a request for a forensic investigation on this transaction will be issued to the panel before the end of the current financial year.
