a) The number of persons that (i) were food insecure (inadequate or severe inadequate access to food) before COVID-19 was about (20% of households) in the country (Stats SA, 2019) and

(ii) The number of people that are currently food insecure as in April/May 2021 was approximately 10-million people and 3-million were children (NIDS-CRAM, 2021).

According to the NIDS-CRAM Wave 5 estimates and StatsSA’s 2020 mid-year population estimates, approximately 2,8-million households (with 10,6-million residents) were affected by hunger in April/May 2021.

b) The measures in place to address the overall food insecurity include the provision of safety nets – such as food relief through nutrition support centres, food parcels and various types of social grants, including the recently re-introduced Social Relief of Distress Grant of R350 per person. Social Relief of Distress is also provided in the form of cash and vouchers on a temporary basis to support households in distress.

According to the information received from Eskom:

(1)(a) Eskom is not ignoring the community of Pimville.

Eskom has responded to all 32 faults logged by the Pimville customers since June 2021. Regrettably, 24 of the 32 faults relate to cable theft, five to network overload and three were due to planned maintenance.

In the Pimville area Eskom has ~24 700 registered customers however 70% (~17 300) of these customers do not buy electricity.

The causes of power interruptions in Pimville are vandalism, cable theft and illegal connections which result in an overloaded network.

It is to be noted that queries and faults from customers that do not buy electricity are scheduled for meter audits. Upon auditing, customers that are found to be buying electricity legally are restored. However, customers that are found to be buying illegal electricity tokens; not buying at all; or have tampered meters, are issued with fines and their supply is only restored once payment of the tamper fine is received.

Recently, the longest outage experienced was due to infrastructure vandalism at Moroka substation which affected supply in multiple areas in Soweto, including Pimville. The vandalism resulted in an explosion at the substation which took almost a week to repair due to the extent of the damages.

Even though Eskom secures the substation, thieves still find a way to break in, steal cables and other equipment, leading to massive destruction and extended unavailability of electricity to customers.

(1)(b)(i) and (ii) Eskom has taken the following measures:

• Eskom replaced the credit meters with prepaid split meters in the area, where amongst other benefits customers are able to manage their consumption and limit it to their affordability, however most communities continue to bypass these meters resulting in vandalised equipment, indiscriminate use of energy and overloaded networks. Eskom has tried to remove these meter bypasses but experiences retaliation from the community which in some cases, makes it unsafe for our technicians to work in those areas.

• In cases where major networks are affected resulting in extended outages, Eskom dispatches technicians to the fault areas and customers are updated through contact details of the registered account-holders. Customers are also updated through media statements, radio, and via social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.

• Eskom implements load reduction in all areas where the networks are at risk of being damaged by overloading, and Pimville is one of these areas. Load reduction is carried out to prevent loss or damage of equipment and extended outages. Customers are notified of pending load reduction, which normally lasts for a maximum of five (5) hours and is implemented up to twice a day per customer.

• Eskom continues to educate customers on the safe and responsible use of electricity. Eskom encourages communities to protect their infrastructure by reporting any nefarious activities undertaken by their neighbours including Eskom technicians and contractors. Eskom intends to run community co-operatives where communities will co-own the problem and joint solutions will be sought and implemented.

(2) Yes, Eskom conducts routine assessments as required by our maintenance philosophies.

The tampering and the bypassing of meters, illegal connections and unauthorised operations result in electricity demand exceeding the design capacity of the network and overloads and damages electricity infrastructure i.e., transformers.

Of ~132 transformers in the area, six failed recently due to overloading however three have since been restored. The cost of replacing a transformer is ~R400 000.

For Pimville area alone Eskom has lost revenue of ~R36 million in the last four (4) months.

Mango has been placed under Business Rescue and a Business Rescue Practitioner has been appointed to be responsible for the affairs of the airline. The Department will be providing oversight support during this process by ensuring that a sustainable model is developed for Mango. Of significance would be the restructuring of Mango to successfully ease the reliance of the airline from Government funding and taking into account the current market dynamics.

According to the information received from Denel:

1. The increase in the number of contractors in the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2021 was as a result of permanent employees, who resigned from their permanent positions and later offered their services on a fixed term basis.

2. SARS is amenable to granting Denel a deferred payment arrangement for the legacy tax debts and a compliant tax status provided the entity pays the current monthly Value Added Tax (VAT) and Pay as You Earn (PAYE) for August and the subsequent tax periods. Denel managed to pay the VAT due on 31 August but the PAYE remains unpaid.

SARS has indicated their intention to invoke the provisions of section 169 of TAA and recover tax that is due to the fiscus followed by the provisions of section 172 (Application for civil judgment for recovery of tax) in the event of not securing enough cash to liquidate the current outstanding liabilities.

Provisions of section 234(2)(k) that lead to conviction, fine or imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years may be applied by SARS against the management of Denel due to non-payment of VAT and PAYE withheld and not paid over to SARS.

3. The three (3) executives, implicated in the Ngidi Report are currently on precautionary suspension with full pay. The suspension with full pay is in line with the Denel SOC Ltd Disciplinary Code.

4. Four (4) employees who were implicated in the ENNE 7 contract were subjected to disciplinary hearings. Two were found not guilty. The other 2 were found guilty and were given Final Written Warnings. In addition to the Final Written Warning, one also received an additional 12 months suspension without pay.

(1)(a) and (b)

The incident is not related to the steam pipe / or steam generator as it occurred on the Electric Generator that is coupled to the steam turbine centreline through a Turbo Gen rotor. The Medupi Generators original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is General Electric (GE).

(2)

The 8th of August 2021 Medupi unit 4 generator failure incident is still under investigation, however, following the preliminary investigation, it appears that while performing the purging of hydrogen activity, air was introduced into the generator at a point where hydrogen was still present at sufficient quantities to create an explosive mixture. This is not related to the steam pipes or to issues with previous maintenance activities.

(3)(a)(i)

The final damage assessment will only be quantified once the all-turbine cylinders and the generator are fully stripped. The process underway is making the area safe to commence with stripping and internal inspections. The cost of repairs will be established once the contracts are placed as per detailed scope of work following damage assessments.

3(a)(ii)

The repairs will depend on the extent of the damage and the long lead components to be replaced. It is safe to say that the repair duration will be in excess of one year.

According to the information from Transnet response:

(a) Initially all ICT systems were shut down to stop the spread of the malware.  Some servers and some workstations that were online at the time of the attack were encrypted by the ransomware.

(b)(i) An incident response team was brought in to assist with the secure rebuild of the active directory servers. A second incident response team assisted with containing the incident and performing a forensic scan of all machines.

(b)(ii) Transnet was already in the process of rolling out additional security measures across the network. This has been fast-tracked and all machines that are brought back on on-line have the security stack deployed. A separate Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and forensic agent has been deployed on all machines before they were brought back online.

All older operating systems have been upgraded to current operating systems and were fully patched before being brought back online.

Transnet has also deployed a web access firewall, reverse proxy and an anti-distributed denial of service system for all public websites.

(c) It was a ransomware attack. There is a criminal investigation in progress.

(d) There is a criminal investigation in progress.

(e) All customer interfaces and the NAVIS terminal operating system have returned to normal. TPT has continued to keep customers and stakeholders informed of the progress made since Thursday 22 July 2021. Transnet will continue to engage in the dedicated daily recovery fora and meetings until all operations and the entire supply chains have normalised. For example, Transnet has a dedicated weekly recovery session with Business Unity South Africa, which commenced on 28 July 2021 and is planned to conclude on 20 September 2021. Other meetings with port stakeholders will continue daily, until congestion has been resolved.

(f)(i) Container volumes were delayed as a result of the cyber-attack or the resulting congestion. However, most imports and exports would still be serviced through SA or neighbouring Ports, albeit later than originally planned.

Automotive vessels were delayed due to system unavailability, which was mitigated by the implementation of manual processes. Some vessels have been diverted between terminals and other delayed volumes have caught up. Hence, the impact on volumes through SA ports is negligible.

In respect of Bulk and Breakbulk cargo, Business Continuity (manual processes) significantly mitigated the potential loss of volumes. No material impact is expected on Bulk and Breakbulk volumes as a result of the system down time.

(f)(ii) TPT will continue to engage in dedicated recovery forums, until all operations and the entire supply chains have normalised.

In addition to the broader fora, TPT engages directly with the shipping lines, to plan jointly to ensure fluid operations at the terminals and on the waterside.

According to Children’s Act 38 of 2005, orphaned children are regarded as children in need of care and protection and therefore processes and steps as outlined in section 150 of the Act stating that such children must be placed in alternative care such as foster care and Child and Youth Care Centres (CYCCs) are being implemented. The Children’s Amendment Act affords potential parents the opportunity to adopt children who may be orphaned.

Orphans who are in the care of the family members benefit from Child Support Grant (CSG) as per provisions of the Social Assistance Act of 2004; and a top up grant that was introduced during COVID 19 to reduce the impact of the pandemic on families who these children are part of. The orphans who have relatives are also supported through the community-based prevention and early programme delivered in drop-in centres.

The department further employed over 1600 social workers during COVID 19 who amongst other services provided psychosocial support services to people in distress including orphaned children. The Gender Based Violence Command Centre was also operational 24 hours and accessible to all people including orphaned children. Through these initiatives the department was able to provide psycho social support services to more than 67 000 people including orphans.

The Department further implements Community-Based Prevention and Early Intervention (CBPEI) programme, which provides Core Package of Services (CPS) for vulnerable children. The aim of the community-based prevention and early intervention services to vulnerable children is to provide continuous support through an ecosystem and resilience-based approach. The Core Package of Services (CPS) are provided to all vulnerable children irrespective of the cause of the vulnerability during the pandemic to address different needs that they are presenting. The CPS was developed to operationalise community-based services for children, families and communities to reduce risks and build resilience in children.

The seven intervention domains of the CPS are:

• Food and Nutrition: Provide a safety net for children within their communities and where they can access food when the food provision in their family is insecure or where the child is at risk of stunting and malnutrition (cooked meals, food parcels).

• Psychosocial support: Improving children’s mental health by the early identification of children in emotional and psychological distress.

• Educational support: to increase access to and attendance of schools through for example, supporting children to overcome obstacles to attendance – such as lack of school uniform, lack of parental support for schooling and to support children in their educational performance.

• Economic Strengthening: aims at supporting and increasing the economic base of households through facilitating access to social security grants, entrepreneurial and other economic strengthening activities.

• Child care and protection: prevention of child abuse, neglect and exploitation and creating an enabling environment within the home, community and accessible services that will support parents to look after their children.

• Health promotion: Improve children’s health through better access to health care, promote and support access to sexual reproductive health services for girls and boys, and the early identification and support to children with disabilities, promote and support good WASH habits.

• HIV and AIDS services: Reducing children’s risk of contracting HIV by improved HIV awareness and sexuality education.

In addition to the implementation of the Core Package of Services (CPS) and in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders, an Emergency Response Plan was developed. The purpose of this Emergency Response Plan is to address the needs of vulnerable children who have been affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. The purpose of this Emergency Response Plan is to address the needs of vulnerable children who have been affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. Furthermore, the Children’s Act 38 of 2005 makes provision that all orphaned children, despite their circumstances around orphan-hood, they are accommodated in terms of section 150 which identifies them as children in need of care and protection.

(1)(a) There is no plan to sell assets to private companies.

(1)(b) There is no plan to privatise ports under the control of Transnet. The position in this regard is to crowd in private capital to co-invest in the ports equipment, technologies, skills and operations with the aim of improving efficiencies of the country’s port systems which is critical for the country’s economic competitiveness ability to grow the export market and support the growth of local businesses.

Transnet’ balance sheet alone is not sufficient to support the investment resources required to upgrade the ports to worldclass standards. The private sector participation model leaves the ownership of the port and resultant improvements in the balance sheet of Transnet, enables the participation of the private sector in supply chain efficiencies as port users but still leaves the ownership of the entity with the State while simultaneously reducing the financial reliance on the national fiscus.

2. No. The invitation of the President was not informed by any plan to privatise the Port of Durban or any other port under Transnet. The visit by the President was to evaluate progress made from his visit to the Port of Durban in October 2019. During that visit, many local businesses and port users raised specific concerns about the performance of the Port of Durban. Shipping companies in particular, expressed concern about the low productivity levels in the port which included amongst others, truck congestion and waiting times, ship berthing delays and poor reliability of critical port equipment. The visit in April 2021 was aimed at affording the President a firsthand check on the progress against the commitments that were made in the 2019 visit; and for Transnet to apprise him about further plans to reposition the port. This was to reinforce the commitment that the President had made to local business regarding the improvement of the efficiencies at South African Ports.

1. The operational costs were for kerbside services of up to 22 buses by 2019/2020. During 2020/2021, the services expanded to 40 buses. It is envisaged that trunk stations will be operational in 2021/2022.

Due to delays in procuring buses and concluding minibus negotiations, the earlier projection of R258 million in operating costs for 2018/19 did not materialise and the City projects R214 million for 2021/2022.

The DoT has expressed concern at these costly interim operating costs and interim compensation and has requested that the City attempt to minimise costs and maximise revenues even prior to full trunk station operations commencing.

The City is currently exploring how it can reduce any contractual costs without jeopardising minibus operator negotiations.

(c) Consulting costs fall under the Project Management line item and are estimated at R57 million for 2021/2022.

a) There were no transfers that were withheld, in the 2018/2019 financial year for the municipality.

b) Not Applicable.

c) Even though transfers were not withheld, a portion of the Public Transport Network Grants (PTNG) Allocations was stopped, in terms of the Division of Revenue Act (DoRA) section 19, in order to mitigate and reduce the municipality’s low expenditure trajectory.

An amount totalling R90 million was effectively stopped, made up of an initial R48,5 million identified by National Treasury and Department of Transport as part of the expenditure review. An additional R41,5 million was volunteered by the municipality.

The municipality’s original PTNG allocation amounting to R694,6 million was reduced to R604,6 million.

The stopped R90 million allocation was subsequently reallocated, in terms of DoRA section 20, to other municipalities within the PTNG programme, based on their capacity to absorb further allocations.

(1)(a) The BRT kerbside operations of the City of Ekurhuleni’s Bus Transport commenced in October 2017 with an introductory service (operating with limited buses). In January 2019, the system was expanded further North, to commence from Tembisa Hospital. The kerbside operations use portions of the dedicated lanes, except in areas where construction is underway at stream crossings and trunk stations.

(b) The BRT trunk route operations are planned to commence from September 2021 in a staged approach. The operations of the trunk route have been delayed by the construction of median trunk stations and the stream crossing. The trunk route is expected to be fully operational during the 2021/2022 financial year as the stations are at practical completion and significant progress has been made on the stream crossings construction.

2. The following processes needs to be completed:

• Registration process (identification of affected operators) – negotiations canonly be undertaken with the affected operators;
• Cost component of the Business Value Surveys (revenue information hasbeen signed off); and
• Execution of the Market Share Surveys.

As a result, negotiations can only be undertaken after all the above relevant Industry Transition processes have been completed.

(3)(a) Construction of the pedestrian bridges was completed in June 2019.

(b) The bridges are not yet fully open pending completion and operationalization of the median trunk station in September 2021. Pedestrians have however been allowed to use the bridges to cross the trunk route since completion in June 2019.

The SA Government’s industrialisation and localisation policies aim to build and upgrade domestic production to supply domestic and foreign markets, support wider economic development and promote employment growth. As we build domestic production capabilities, we expect to see greater levels of value added exports to the rest of the world, including to other African markets as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement is operationalised and the tariff reductions specified under its terms are progressively implemented.

While Government, business and labour have together in Nedlac identified sectors that hold great potential for upgrading, all firms in SA continue to have access to the policy tools, incentives and programs offered by Government for upgrading and development. As indicated in a reply to a previous parliamentary question, localisation policies are entirely consistent with SA’s international trade obligations and building industrial capacity is the very purpose of the AfCFTA. Indeed, other African countries see the AfCFTA as an incentive to their programmes to build agricultural and industrial productive capacity for export under the AfCFTA.

SA is already integrated into global supply chains and our industrial policy, of which localisation is integral, seeks to ensure we move up the value chain to retain a greater share of the value created by participation in those supply chains. An important objective of the AfCFTA is to encourage the development of more value chains amongst African economies. Rules of origin are powerful instruments in this regard as they determine the level of African value in traded goods – both inputs and finished products – that must be met to benefit from the AfCFTA tariff preferences. In this way, the rules of origin incentivise both greater African production and the development of African value chains that underpin growth in intra-African trade.

There is ongoing monitoring of the impact of various localisation measures being implemented. In my address to Parliament during the Trade and Industry Budget Vote in May this year, details of the impact was shared with honourable members. As the localisation policies have been agreed with other social partners, both the business and labour constituency will be evaluating the impact of, and reporting on successes with localisation policies.

President Ramaphosa, as the previous Chair of the African Union (AU), oversaw important work leading to the establishment of the AfCFTA that is integral to the wider structural transformation agenda adopted by all AU Members in 2015 under “Agenda 2065: The Africa We Want”. This agenda is premised on an integrated work program built on market integration through the AfCFTA, building cross border infrastructure across Africa and through cooperation on African industrialisation.

Cooperative work on industrialisation is overseen by the AU Specialised Committee of Ministers of Trade, Industry and Mineral Resources. At its recent meeting, the Committee advanced work across a wide range of areas including: commodity beneficiation; developing an African fashion industry value chain; developing common product standards; strengthening trade facilitation, infrastructure and future work to map and develop existing continental and regional value chains.

On 15 October 2020, President Ramaphosa tabled before a joint-sitting of Parliament, an Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan (ERRP), aimed at stimulating equitable and inclusive growth in South Africa in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic. The ERRP was the culmination of work with social partners at Nedlac over a number of months. It reflects a consensus amongst the social partners that there should be substantial structural change in the economy that would unlock growth and allow for development. The plan has identified nine key policy interventions, one of which is localisation. It also supported the expansion of markets for SA manufactured products through the AfCFTA.

(1) the dtic and other Government departments have worked together to build local capability in the production of Covid-19 vaccines. The actions included among others:

• Support to Aspen Pharmacare for the building of a world-class manufacturing facility in the Eastern Cape that was able subsequently to meet the technical standards to qualify as one of seven manufacturing plants globally for the completion of fill and finish contracts with J&J
• Initiating a request at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in October 2020, together with India, for a waiver of certain provisions of the TRIPS agreement that regulates use of intellectual property. The effect of this would be to enable production of vaccines and use of technologies during the pandemic without the veto that patent-holders currently have. This has now secured the support of more than 100 countries, a number of former Heads of State and Nobel laureates as well as religious organisations, civil society formations, medical professionals and members of parliaments across the world; and holding bilateral meetings with a number of countries to secure their support
• Engagement with J&J that resulted in an agreement that the bulk of vaccines manufactured in SA would be for use domestically and elsewhere on the African continent
• Advocacy efforts to have licensing agreements between SA-based companies (including Aspen Pharmacare) and large global pharmaceutical companies, accompanied by transfer of technology. We refer the Honourable Member to the announcement by Aspen Pharmacare in respect of talks on a licensing agreement with J&J and the public statement by the dtic.
• Engagement with the German and French governments and BionTech regarding the transfer of technology and manufacturing rights in respect of the Pfizer vaccine to another SA company, namely Biovac, which h was followed by the announcement of a partnership agreement; and
• Discussions with Nantworks about Covid-19 vaccine development and the prospects of establishing a manufacturing facility in SA in future.

SA is now designated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as one of the new production Hubs for COVID-19 vaccines using approved mRNA technology. We continue to engage with intellectual property patent holders for full access to the requisite technology under the Access to COVID Tools (ACT)-Accelerator initiative, launched by WHO and partners, and co-chaired by SA and Norway.

2. the dtic has completed extensive work on a draft Patents Bill (PB) that will be submitted to Parliament in due course, after it has been considered by Cabinet. The PB aims to update and reform SA’s patent legislation, bring it in line with new developments in the patent regime and ensure consistency with international best practice. Subject to the outcome of the consideration of the Bill within the executive, it is expected that it will provide for special measures to address use of patented products during a health crisis. As soon as the terms of the Bill is finalised and agreed, a public consultation process will commence.

Members of the South African Police Service (SAPS), who are stationed at Ports of Entry are also safeguarding the infrastructure of the ports and Includes, but is not limited to, the vehicles and equipment used by other Government departments, that are performing duties at Ports of Entry. There are travellers that arrive after the dosing hours of the Ports of Entry and spend the night sleeping in the queue, outside the Ports of Entry. The SAPS members also safeguard the travellers, their vehicles and goods.

Many activities, like the smuggling of ill\cit goods and illegal crossings, take place at the borderline closer to the ports, after the Ports of Entry have closed, as these people come back to the load, to get transport and continue their journey. The SAPS Is responsible to prevent such activities, after the Ports of Entry have closed. The policing of the 10km radius from a Port of Entry is important, to curb the illegal activities, at night. If the SAPS members are removed and policing is not done in the 10km radius from the Port of Entry, Illegal activities will rise and pose a security threat to the Republic of South Africa (RSA).

The South African Police Service (SAPS) must, like all other road users, adhere to the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, 1986 (Act No. 93 of 199e) and the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2000.

The National Road Traffic Regulations, 2000, issued in terms of the National Road Traffic Act, 1696, provides for the number of passengers that may be carried in a vehicle and the carriage of persons in a vehicle intended for carrying goods. It also makes provision for weight limitations, which would also apply in the case of persons being transported in the loading bay of a vehicle. Based on these provisions, a Nisaan NP 300 vehicle may only transport four persons, with or without rifles, if it is fitted with a suitable canopy or 'enclosed' in the prescribed manner, in Section 247 of the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2000.

The investigation and (b) report into the SA Airways (SAA) Alpha Floor incident that occurred during the SAA flights to and/or from Brussels on or about the 24 February 2021 have been concluded (i) N/A (ii) The investigation was completed on 08 June 2021. The report was handed over to the operator and they were given a time to respond to the report addressing the contents of identified issues.

(aa) The findings of the investigations were as follows:

Similar occurrences happened in 2014 and in 2015 and were never reported to the SACAA.

Relating to this specific incident of February 2021, when performing the engine run Procedure Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) _71-00-00-860-845-A_Engine_Automatic_Start) the reset of the Fuel Control and Monitoring Computers (FCMC) 1&2 was not performed. Because the FCMC 1&2 was not performed and the AC remained powered since the engine run, the Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) inserted at the time of the engine run was still present in the FCMC when the engines were started again at 21:59 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

If the crew entered the ZFW, in the Multi-Function Display Unit (MCDU) INIT B page, as per “Cockpit preparation” Specific Operating Procedure (SOP), this new ZFW was necessarily different from the one actually recorded in the FCMC (107,9T) leading to the display of the amber scratchpad message - REENTER WEIGHT/CENTER OF GRAVITY (CG) - on the MCD and the request to re-enter the ZFW and the ZFWCG even if they were correct. Had this been performed, the new ZFW value would have been taken into account by the FCMC.

The pre-departure check of the Gross Weight (Comparison of the load sheet Gross Weight with the Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor (ECAM) Gross Weight (GW)) included in the “Before Eng Start” SOP was not performed. If done, the discrepancy would have been identified and the ZFW entered for the second time in the MCDU INIT B page, would have forced the new ZFW to be taken into account by the FCMC.

Although the Flight crew correctly assessed the situation and actioned the appropriate measures to contain the very short Alpha Floor alert that occurred, it is evident that both the flight crew and the ground crew did not execute any of the two procedures in place which are established to prevent this occurrence.

(bb) recommendations include the following:

1. SAA to document and record aircraft de-energizing methods and sessions as an occurrence.
2. The procedure of weight review before engine start, must be added into the pre-flight checklist.
3. SAA to create a SOP compliance procedure/checklist.
4. Ground and flight crew to attend CRM course together.
5. SAA to report any safety jeopardising action to the SACAA within a 12-hour period.
6. SAA to report to SACAA as to why previous Alpha-Floor incidents were not reported and propose how the organisation intends to rectify this shortcoming.
7. SACAA to consider taking enforcement action against SAA for failing to report these since 2014. (This recommendation has been implemented - Operator was issued with a financial penalty).

The investigation and report into the crash of the SA Civil Aviation Authority aircraft that crashed near George in the Western Cape on the 23 January 2020 have not yet been completed.

a) The accident could not be investigated by the Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation (AIID). The Minister therefore delegated the investigation of the ZS-CAR aircraft accident to the Ethiopian Aircraft Accident Investigations Board (AAIB). The Ethiopian investigators arrived in South Africa on 24 January 2021 and commenced with the Investigation of the ZS-CAR aircraft accident on 25 January 2021.

b) It is envisaged that the Ethiopian AAIB will issue the Final Report by end of March 2022

As the honourable Member may be aware, Department tabled various funding options around the Electronic Toll on Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) for Cabinet decision, however, after consideration of the options, Cabinet directed that both the Department and Treasury jointly, re-look at the options and re-submit to Cabinet for consideration.

(a) The date for announcement on the future of e-tolls in Gauteng cannot be determined at this stage as the discussions around funding for the system continue to take place, focusing on the various financial options available.

(b) The delay on the announcement is that the process to pronounce on the future of the e-toll take time as the two Ministers (Transport and Finance) had to first meet and in their meeting they agreed that further studies be conducted to inform the decision to be made.

(c) It is important to note that the Department is committed to finding a workable solution that does not ‘drown the country in debt’ but is equally sensitive to the public’s issues and once it is clear on the sustainable model, a submission will then be made for Cabinet final decision

During the 41st Ordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) on 17 and 18 August 2021 in Lilongwe, Republic of Malawi, the Republic of South Africa became the Chair of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation.

The overall objective and function of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security is the promotion of peace, security and stability as well as good

governance and democracy in the SADC Region.

The political and the security situation in the Region is relatively peaceful and stable, notwithstanding isolated challenges in some Member States (Kingdom of Lesotho, DRC, Mozambique and the Kingdom of Eswatini) and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the Chairship of South Africa, the Organ’s focus will be on the following key issues:

• The facilitation process in the Kingdom of Lesotho;
• The deployment of the SADC Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM);
• The continuation of the Force Intervention Brigade (FIB) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC);
• The situation in Eswatini; and
• Observation of elections in the Region.
• Operationalisation of the Mediation Reference Group and Council of the Elders.

In its response CSA indicated the following;

1. CSA launched a Social Justice and Nation Building (SJN) process, headed by Adv Dumisa Ntsebeza SC (Office of the Transformation Ombudsman – OTO). Part of the process has included having public hearings where different individuals and stakeholders made oral and written submissions. CSA supports this independent process and is eagerly awaiting the report and its recommendations that will help cricket with its healing process, redress and contribute to social cohesion and nation building. Reform and transformation remain non-negotiable as a means of correcting historical imbalances.

(a) CSA expects to receive the report from the OTO by end of November 2021.

2. The Board did engage Mr Nkwe and was rightfully concerned by what he had to say.

(a) As a result, a Board Task Team has been formed to do a fact-finding exercise and engage with the Team (players and management) and all other relevant stakeholders. On completion of this exercise, the Task Team will report to the Board and based on their conclusion, the matter will be addressed as a matter of urgency.

Our tax legislation, in particular the paragraph 2 of the Fourth Schedule to the Income Tax Act, No 58 0f 1962 (the Act), obliges the employer to withhold or deduct an amount known as Pay As You Earn (PAYE) from the remuneration payable to the employee and pay such an amount over to SARS.

An employer is also obliged to provide an employee with an annual tax certificate (generally known as IRP 5 certificate) which provides a summary of all remuneration and all deductions made during the period.

Therefore, an employee has the right to obtain a tax certificate (IRP 5) from the employer regardless of the employer’s compliance obligations with SARS.

Any omission by any taxpayer to pay over the PAYE to SARS does not infringe on the rights of the employees to receive a tax credit based on the non-compliance by the employer. All employees will be entitled to the full tax credit. SARS has an obligation to ensure that the employer compliance with its obligations as indicated above.

Chapter 6 of the Tax Administration Act No. 28 of 2011 (the TA Act) prohibits the South African Revenue Service (SARS) from disclosing taxpayer information to any person unless specifically provided for in the TA Act, in limited circumstances.

As there is no specific provision allowing SARS to release such information, SARS is unable to provide the specific requested information.

Reply:

1. (a)(b) It is expected that any entity ensure that they are registered for all relevant taxes as required in terms of section 22 of the Tax Administration Act, 28 of 2011 (the Act).

Any entity have a duty to fulfill all its tax obligations as required in term of the Act, and equally, all entities enjoy the rights conferred to any other taxpayer in terms of the Act.

Chapter 6 of the Act prohibits SARS from divulging taxpayer information unless such information is provided to certain entities listed under section 70 and 71 of the Act.

(2) 3) As indicated above, all taxpayer information is subject to confidentiality in terms of Chapter 6 of the Tax Administration Act, 28 of 2011.

Reply:

1. Section 256 of the Tax Administration Act, 28 of 2011 (the Act) provides for circumstances under which a Tax Compliance Status (TCS) of the taxpayer can be issued or declined. A TCS is issued where:

a) A taxpayer is registered for tax where required to do so;

b) A taxpayer has debt owed to SARS where but has made arrangements to pay in instalments or such debt has been suspended by SARS; and

c) All returns that needed to be submitted to SARS have been submitted or arrangements have been made with SARS to submit such a return(s) after due date.

The absence of a TCS does not preclude a taxpayer from carrying on his or her business or from continuing to operate. If a taxpayer did not comply with the required tax obligations, SARS has legal instruments at its disposal to ensure that such taxpayer is forced to comply. These instruments do not include stopping the operations of the business.

Section 234 of the Act provides that a taxpayer who willfully fails to comply with his or her tax obligations is guilty of an offence only after been convicted by a court. At this stage, there is no such conviction. Therefore SARS is precluded from divulging any information of the taxpayer because it will be in contravention of section 69 of the Act.

2. As indicated above, any information which has been provided to SARS, including information relating to TCS, is subject to confidentiality in terms of section 69 of the Act.
