What progress has been made on the sale of the existing Head Office building of the Independent Development Trust?

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure

Considerable progress has been made to date, albeit the process was delayed by having to obtain a recent Valuation Report, as the last valuation was outdated. The IDT has received a Valuation Report with a validity of up to 31 December 2023. The next step would be to table the Head Office Building Submission to the Asset Disposal Committee; inform the National Treasury; and request approval of the sale of the Head Office Building from the Executive Authority. However, these processes have not been undertaken, as the Board did not approve the proposed Head Office Lease Agreement, as explained in the response to National Assembly Question number 918 of 2023.

As of October 13, 2023, the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) has showcased a commendable performance, with a total of 637 875 work opportunities reported for 2023/24 by 322 public entities. This achievement represents 61.4% of the annual target of 1 038 742 work opportunities, indicating a strong progression towards reaching the 2023/24 target. The performance is above the 50% benchmark expected at the end of the 2nd quarter of the 2023/24 financial year.

Whether his department has any (a) short-term and (b) long-term plans in place to ensure cooperation with other departments to ensure the longevity of the Expanded Public Works Programme whilst providing sustainable youth employment; if not, why not in each case; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:

a) The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) has been mandated by Cabinet to oversee the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). Collaboration between the DPWI and other government departments are essential to achieving the creation of work opportunities across the different spheres of government, including targeting 55% participation of youth in the EPWP projects. In this context, a number of mechanisms and partnerships are in place to maintain continued cooperation and collaboration with different public bodies covering the short- to medium-term timeframes, including:

i. Cooperative coordinating mechanisms that enable dialogue on matters impacting the EPWP among all public entities. Amongst these coordination structures is the EPWP National Coordinating Committee (NCC) comprising the EPWP EXCO and Lead Sector Departments (i.e. Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Department of Social Development and Department of Public Works) and all Provincial Departments of Public Works. Furthermore, similar coordination structures exist at a provincial and municipal district level.

ii. Additionally, there are short-term partnerships in place which focus on training and enterprise development promoting youth unemployment. Amongst these partnership are the following; the National Skills Fund for funding of training initiatives in the programme, Agricultural Sector Education Training Authority (AgriSETA) for the training of participants in various trades towards certification as artisans as well as with the Financial Service Conduct Authority (FSCA) for training of participants on basic financial literacy.

iii. Through a partnership with the International Labour Organisation, a partnership for the provision of the Start and Improve Your Business Programme training for participants who want to venture into enterprises post their participation in the EPWP has been put in place.

iv. In addition, the DPWI is in partnership with other departments and the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) through the National Pathway Management Network coordinated by the Department of Employment and Labour to optimise the participation of youth in the different EPWP programmes.

b) In terms of long-term plans, the DPWI is currently engaging different stakeholders to finalise EPWP phase V proposals planned to be submitted to Cabinet for approval for implementation from 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2029. In addition, the DPWI is engaging the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services (MerSETA) and the AgriSETA to secure additional funding on training initiatives to ensure impactful outcomes. Likewise the DPWI is working with the Department of Defence (DoD) to identify other training areas that the DoD can support. It is anticipated that the present collaboration with the FSCA will continue in providing foundational financial literacy to new recruits in the EPWP. Engaging the private sector to help with finance and job placements for experiential learning for participants in the EPWP for different Learnership programmes is also another area being considered for the long term.

With reference to his department’s resolve to intensify its Operation Bring Back campaign, what (a) total number of the more than 1 200 state-owned properties that have been illegally occupied, hijacked and/or sold have been reacquired and (b) are the details of the general state of the properties?

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:

There is a need for the Department to conduct forensic investigation in order to determine:

  1. The total number of properties that are illegally occupied, hijacked/ or sold.
  2. In addition to the above, the Department shall use the professional services (Structural engineers) to determine the condition and general state of the illegally occupied properties.

The terms of reference and procurement strategy are at “ready to go on the market” to source the assistance of competent service providers on the forensic audit of all hijacked and illegally occupied state owned properties.

The project would enable the Department to quantify with accuracy, the total number of state owned properties which are illegally occupied, hijacked and /or sold.

In light of the ongoing sewage pollution threatening the Vaal River, a crucial water source for millions of persons, what specific steps is his department taking to (a) safeguard public health, (b) reduce contamination and (c) ensure sustainable water access for affected communities?

Reply:

(a-b)The Department is implementing an intervention in terms of Section 63 of the National Water Services Act through the Sedibeng Sewer Scheme Project and Vaal River System Intervention in the Sedibeng District. Rand Water, the Implementing Agent is making satisfactory progress on the various projects that are currently under implementation.

However, sewer spillages in all municipal areas remain a challenge where repairs or unblocking of lines are delayed or where pumpstations are overloaded. Where sewer spillages occur and are brought to the Department’s attention, these are investigated, and Directives issued to rapidly address such pollution incidents. The Department is continuously monitoring the quality of water resources and effluent discharges. In addition, those with water use authorisation are required to meet the norms and standards. The Blue and Green Drop Certification programmes intensify monitoring of municipal service provision by ensuring that the entire value chain is assessed. These assessments enable the Department to have a targeted approach where diagnosis is done on municipal performance. The risks are identified, and water services authorities are required to address root causes.

Though raw water is drawn from rivers and dams, it is treated in Water Treatment Works and the treated water is required by law to meet drinking water standards set by the South African Bureau of Standards in South African National Standard (SANS) 241.

(c) The Department has a five-year reliability plan which identifies levels of access and other aspects of water services standards where a holistic plan is developed and implemented for each water services authority using the District Development Model and the various grant funding streams are used for water and sanitation infrastructure upgrades and refurbishments.

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:

a) The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) as the overall coordinator of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) has a reporting system which allows the capturing of EPWP work opportunities by implementers across all the spheres of government. The EPWP Reporting System (EPWP-RS) contains information captured during the implementation of the EPWP Phase IV which started in the 2019/20 financial year to date for short term and long term opportunities. The different programmes captured on the system vary in terms of duration with some implemented over a short term period while others are implemented over a long term duration. The duration of participation for the EPWP participants is linked to the duration of the different programmes implemented.

What are the details of the steps that his department has taken to ensure that more black youth makes a breakthrough into the technology industry?

Reply:


There are a number of initiatives that the DCDT, working with its State-Owned Companies and the private sector, are rolling out to ensure more black youth enter the technology industry.

The following projects are being implemented to aggressively provide opportunities for Black youth in the ICT subsectors:

  1. The SA Connect programme, whose primary aim is to expand digital infrastructure through broadband network deployment, intends to empower SMMEs and create jobs;
  2. To support the digital economy and encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, the DCDT aims to train 90 000 beneficiaries on cellphone repairs, software development, cloud technologies, Web/App development and podcasting, amongst others. These areas are prioritised as they have the potential to increase the employability of young people and empower them to create cooperatives so as to provide services in their local areas;
  3. The Youth Internet Service Provider Project has a long-term goal of having more young people and youth-owned SMMEs being fully-fledged Internet Service Providers. Young people are trained as domain name resellers and, later, are upgraded to become domain name registrars. The project trains 50 young people per province;
  4. The department is involved in the Digitization of Youth Enterprises, which is a pilot project with 30 enterprises, focusing on the impact and requirements for digitization by youth enterprises to fully participate in e-commerce. It also seeks to maximize their digital online presence;
  5. A pilot project to create The Digital Media and Film Indaba is presently being finalised by the DCDT. It has targeted over 300 young people from rural areas. Umsinga was identified as one of the areas that has seen several popular short films and telenovelas (e.g., Isibaya) being shot in different sites;
  6. The DCDT has, through NEMISA, integrated Digital Entrepreneurship training in some of its programmes to enable young people to start their own businesses. In the Creative/Audio Visual Industry, the following programmes are being implemented in the current financial year:
  1. 2D Animation Bootcamp: Digital Literacy, and Design Foundation (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
  2. Graphic Design Bootcamp: Digital Literacy, and Design Foundation (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
  3. Interactive Media Bootcamp: Digital Literacy, and Design Foundation (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
  4. Drawing Workshop Eastern Cape: Non-accredited workshop (Cortex Hub: Eastern Cape)
  5. Radio Project: Radio Production (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
  6. Film Project: Film and Television Production (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
  7. Radio Project: Radio Production (Mpumalanga: Nelspruit)
  8. Radio Project: Radio Production (NWU Free State & Northern Cape)
  1. And, finally, the DCDT, in collaboration with SITA, developed a South African digital marketplace portal referred to as DigiTech. The purpose of the DigiTech Programme is to collate data about digital products developed locally with the aim of supporting the products’ technology enablement, promoting, and expanding their market reach. The DCDT is forging partnerships with global and local ICT companies who have existing sponsorship and mentorship programmes to support DigiTech SMMEs. The industry companies will also support the DigiTech SMMEs with technical vetting and categorisation of their digital products and SMME Development Support (access to funding, markets and skills development).


Thank You.

Whether he has found that his department is on track to achieve the objectives set out in its 2023 Annual Performance Plan; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of what has been achieved so far?

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:

Based on verified Quarter 1 report the level of performance per key performance (KPI) is on track at an average of 95% performance. In terms of targets achieved in the quarter under review, a total of 29 targets were reported of which 12 were achieved above the 90% threshold as per the DPWI performance legend. This represents about 41% level of targets achieved. The Quarter 2 performance information is still being verified for accuracy.

The following programme experience challenges:

  • Construction Project Management Programme

The level of KPI performance is at 65%. However, in terms of targets achieved, no targets were reached above the 90% threshold. The challenges experienced include change of project scope from Repair & Renovation to Capital Project due to status of facilities. Secondly, delays experienced in the appointment of the structural engineers. There were also delays in the confirmation of funds by the client Departments thus affecting the procurement process. Of significant impact has been the termination of contracts due to poor performance as well as extension of time being applied for by contractors. The Department has however put initiatives to mitigate these challenges to enhance performance.

  • Real Estate Management Services Programme

The Department is on track on all seven indicators with few challenges where interventions were put in place to improve performance in the second quarter

  • Facilities Management Programme

The Department is progressing well on the utilisation of preventative term contracts geared towards reducing reactive maintenance. However, challenges are still experienced on the area of critical components assessed to determine the conditions of components (lifts, boilers, HVAC and Gensets and Water systems).

What are the relevant details of the challenges surrounding the contract of the Small Claims Court rooms which are on the premises of the Diepsloot Police Station that are not operational due to a contractual dispute and (b) on what date will the specified court rooms be operational again?

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:

In a meeting that took place on the 8th of August 2023, the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) was tasked to develop the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which will outline legal responsibilities of the two user departments. The MOA was finalised on the 17th of October 2023. A round robin approach has been proposed to get signatures of the 3 accounting officers.

b) The date on which the court rooms will be operational, will be informed by the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement by all parties.

Profile picture: Zondo, Mr  S S

Zondo, Mr S S to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure

Whether he has any actionable immediate plans in place to give effect to the restructuring of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) to ensure sustainable employment; if not; why not; if so, (a) on what date were the plans adopted by the Government, (b) what are the details of what has been implemented thus far and (c) what is the total amount of the budget that has been allocated for the implementation of the restructured EPWP?

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:

Three priority areas have been identified for implementation starting from the 2023–24 fiscal year in order to introduce urgent actionable plans to give effect to the restructuring of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) for ensuring sustainable employment. Projects in these priority areas will be implemented with an emphasis on improving participant skills and entrepreneurial outcomes through training. Public bodies in the different spheres of government will implement projects in the identified priority areas as follows:

(i)  Road upgrading and maintenance interventions related to pothole patching and block paving;

(ii) Cleaning of public spaces and waste management including the cleaning of public buildings; and

(iii) Clean energy interventions related retrofitting of government buildings and solar installations.

To this end, in my capacity as the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure mandated to lead the EPWP, I have engaged with various EPWP stakeholders from all spheres of government to focus on the approach of implementing the above-mentioned priority areas.

a) The plans were not adopted on a particular date but have been communicated with different public bodies and are different stages of implementation depending on the plans of the different public bodies.

b) The projects that have been implemented so far in the different priority areas are as follows:

(i) Road upgrading and maintenance

A total of 144 block paving and Pothole patching projects with 14, 424 work opportunities have been implemented by provincial roads departments and municipalities so far in the 2023/24 financial year.

(ii) Cleaning of public spaces and waste management

A total of 912 cleaning and Waste Management projects with 74, 642 work opportunities reported have been implemented by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Provincial Departments of the Environment, Municipalities and the Department of Public Works & Infrastructure so far in the 2023/ 24 financial year.

(iii) Clean Energy

There are no clean energy projects currently implemented, however, pre-project planning activities are being finalised to ensure implementation in the current financial year.

c) Leveraging from the existing budgets (i.e. Provincial Roads Management Grant, Municipal Infrastructure Grant, Department of Fisheries, Forestry and the Environment Budget Vote, Department of Public Works and Infrastructure Budget Vote, EPWP Integrated Grant to Municipalities and Integrated Grant to Provinces) a total budget of R4.074 Billion has been identified to implement 1,101 projects under these focus areas, with 101,894 work opportunities projected to be created by public bodies and reported within the 2023/24 financial year.

Profile picture: Sithole, Mr KP

Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Transport

Whether her department has records of the total (a) number of and (b) amount paid out to foreign nationals through compensation from the Road Accident Fund in each province (i) in the past three financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2023 up to the latest specified date for which information is available; if not, why not; if so, what (aa) total number of (aaa) documented and (bbb) undocumented foreign nationals have been compensated and (bb) are the further relevant details?

Reply:

a) The table below shows the number of foreigner related payments processed for the period by regional office.

b) The table below shows the value / amount of capital paid to foreigner related claims for the period by regional office.

c) The RAF is unable to indicate the status of documented and undocumented claimants that have been paid in the last three years as requested, as no such an indicator exists in the claims system.

However, the RAF has in line with Section 17(l) has to ensure that the accident happened “… at any place within the Republic”. The RAF has issued a directive to ensure that every foreigner submits a stamped passport indicating that they were in the Republic when the accident occurred.

Furthermore, Section 44 of the Immigration Act compels RAF as an organ of state to “ascertain the status or citizenship of the persons receiving its services and shall report to the Director-General any alleged foreigner or any person whose status or citizenship could not be ascertained”.

d) The RAF has, however, implemented controls to confirm foreign claimants’ mortality status prior to payment release. This process requires verification of passports, or asylum confirmation documents to ensure that only documented foreign claimants are compensated.

Profile picture: Nodada, Mr BB

Nodada, Mr BB to ask the Minister of Basic Education

(a) What are the processes and protocols of her department for monitoring infrastructure projects at schools and (b) how often are projects monitored and/or evaluated?

Reply:

(a) Monitoring addresses planning, project implementation and project management, including time, quality and budget/expenditure in a project. These are interrogated and a sample of projects are visited. Based on the findings from these visits, remedial actions are devised with the province and monitored by the DBE.

•Monitoring deals with both programme and project matters;

  • Programme matters include;

-The pattern of overall expenditure being achieved;

-Comparisons of expenditure to projected cash flows;

-Progress being made with key groups of projects [e.g. Water, sanitation, maintenance, new schools, additional classrooms etc.]

-Management of the portfolio of projects [i.e. evidence that the programme of projects is being managed effectively through the project cycle]

  • •At the Project level the focus is on ensuring ;

-that PSP appointments are being made;

- that planning and design processes are progressing;

-that the appointment of contractors is progressing, that construction is progressing satisfactorily, [i.e. on programme, on budget, at acceptable quality…];

and that projects are being handed over and closed out and that final accounts are being wrapped up.

(b) Monitoring can be conducted through various means as follows:

-Ministry and DG Infrastructure meetings; Meetings with individual implementing agents; DG meetings with CEO's of implementing agents and operational meetings with implementing agents

-Site visits by the Director General; Site visits by the Infrastructure unit, Site visits by the programme Support Unit. 

- Provincial officials attend monthly site meetings with Professional Service Providers and contractors ; and 

- as well as ad hoc / unannounced visits to projects.

Profile picture: Hlengwa, Mr M

Hlengwa, Mr M to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation

Amid widespread calls and protest action to close the Israeli Embassy in Pretoria, what (a) is the Republic’s official position on hosting the Embassy and (b) are the relevant details and reasons for taking such position?

Reply:

South Africa cannot have normal relations with Israel, as long as the latter is unwilling to sincerely negotiate a peace plan without preconditions with Palestine. South Africa cannot be a party in any way to Israel’s plans and actions that would see the ideal of Palestinian statehood reduced into balkanised entities devoid of true sovereignty, without territorial contiguity and with no economic viability. However, breaking of diplomatic relations with Israel will be counterproductive as it will also affect our Representative Office in Ramallah, Palestine and by implication weaken the meaningful role that South Africa can play in the Palestinian cause.

The Government of South Africa will be considering the various calls made to further downgrade its diplomatic relations with Israel given the flagrant breaches of international law, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. South Africa has called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate these crimes which fall under its jurisdiction. A decision to downgrade will, further, need to consider whether it may impact negatively on South Africa’s ability to maintain a diplomatic presence in Palestine, which is the only link the country has to the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including Gaza. Nonetheless, the demands for a downgrade have merit. South Africa will discuss this with all relevant stakeholders to assess the approach the country takes to our diplomatic relations with Israel given the current situation in the region.

(e) Steps taken by the SACAA to improve air safety in the Western Cape?

The responsibility to reduce the number of accidents in general aviation is not the sole responsibility of the Regulator but of the industry who are required to comply to the standards set by the Regulator. The Regulator develops regulations, technical standards and guidance material to assist the industry to comply. At appropriate times and where negligence and non-compliance are evident, the Regulator takes enforcement actions against those affected operators and licence holders.

In terms of the number of accidents, the Western Cape accounts for the second largest number of accidents in the country. Over and above the safety recommendations issued by investigators to relevant operators and parties, the SACAA developed a General Aviation Safety Strategy (GASS) with industry to reduce the number of accidents in the general aviation sector where the above accidents are prevalent.

The solutions and activities undertaken by the Regulator and industry include developing educational guidance material to address the most pressing and common causes of accidents as informed by the investigation reports, publishing articles in a special publication developed for this purpose and undertaking a number of safety awareness and promotion events such as seminars, workshops, etc. with industry.

The reduction in the number of accidents realised just in the past two financial years i.e., 2021/22 and 2022/23, is an indication that the efforts of the GASS are bearing positive results for example, there has been a reduction in the number of accidents country-wide by 15% and a reduction of 25% in fatal accidents as well as a 29% reduction in fatalities meaning that fewer people perished as a result of aircraft accidents in the GA sector in the past financial year.

Mogale, Mr T to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture

What (a) has he found to be the reasons for the slow pace of towns and street name changes across the Republic, particularly in the Free State and (b) measures has he taken to speed up name changes”

Reply:

(a). The slow pace of change to the names of our towns, cities and streets can be attributed to many factors. The South African Geographical Names Act 118 of 1998 does not provide for government at national level to actively propose name changes as the Minister has to take decisions on names submitted to him by applicants. Local communities are prioritising service delivery matters like housing, employment, water, and electricity over the transformation of our naming landscape. The cut in the budget allocations for the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture makes it increasingly difficult to conduct major public awareness campaigns on radio, television, and the social media.

(b). The pace of name changes in the Free State has been very slow. The South African Geographical Names Council held an awareness campaign in Bloemfontein on the 28 of June 2023.

During the awareness campaign all district municipalities and the Provincial Geographical Names Committee were given information on the process that needs to be followed when names of streets, towns and cities are proposed to be changed. This process includes public consultation with the local communities. This awareness

workshop was livestreamed to the public in the Free State to create community awareness on the urgency to transform South Africa’s naming landscape.

Reply:

(a) Please refer to Annexure A

(b)(i) The farmers were not given any equipment except for the 200 x 2 500 litres water tanks.

(ii) The process of selecting beneficiaries was done in two ways. One hundred (100) beneficiaries were food security/ subsistence/ backyard farmers identified by the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development through Matlala and Moletji service centres. The focus was on farmers producing at a small scale mainly for subsistence and have no access to water for their gardens. The other hundred (100) beneficiaries were indigent households who were identified by Moletji and Matlala Traditional Councils. The tanks will be used for rainwater harvesting.

(iii) Tents, podium, chairs and the sound system were hired, as well as catering for those who were in attendance.

(c)(i) The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) participated in the establishment of the Rural Safety Strategy that is led by the South African Police services (SAPS) and remains an active member of the safety strategy established in line with the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030, under a visible policing programme which is currently implemented in terms of the Rural Safety Strategy. This is an integrated and multidisciplinary approach that aims to mobilize rural communities to create a safe, secure and crime free environment that is conducive to food security, prevention of stock theft as well as social and economic stability. Members of the SAPS stock theft unit have access to DALRRD’s animal identification system, this enables relevant SAPS members to monitor stock theft including verification of animal ownership and sale of animals at auctions.

(ii)(aa),(bb) The Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme (CASP) provides for conditional grants to Provincial Departments of Agriculture (PDAs) which caters for animal fencing as part of animal production projects. Furthermore, the Department, through its collaboration with the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) provides for agricultural infrastructure such as construct camps, fences etc on communal land to secure livestock in rural areas. However, this work is not exclusively the responsibility of DALRRD; there are other departments and agencies who also play a role in this area.

(d)(i) The supplier of the 200 water tanks is Manekwane Business Enterprise.

    (ii) R 800 000 for 200 water tanks at R 4 000.00 each.

Whether, with reference to his reply to question 3629 on 28 October 2022, in which he indicated that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) does not keep data on criminal offences committed against children specifically, his department has since instructed the NPA to commence with record keeping of (a) child-specific criminal cases as well as (b) the conviction rate for (i) child murders, (ii) attempted child murder, (iii) assault of a child with the intent to do grievous bodily harm and (iv) sexual offences against children; if not, why not; if so, what has been the total number of successful convictions in the above categories for the SA Crime Statistic quarterly reporting periods of (aa) 1 October 2022 to 31 December 2022, (bb) 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023 and (cc) 1 April to 30 June 2023?

Reply:

A similar request was received by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in 2022 and which response is attached hereto. Since the NPA were not keeping the data, engagements and the feasibility of obtaining the important information has been undertaken.

The NPA has arranged with the South African Police Service (SAPS) in the interim to share information with the NPA from SAPS in order to interrogate and monitor child-specific cases. The Crime Registrar of the South African Police Service keeps record of the relevant information. To have access to the information held by the South African Police Services, a formal request must be submitted to the National Commissioner of SAPS.

As Indicated previously, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) prioritises all Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) matters and more especially where the victims are children. The Sexual Offences and Community Affairs (SOCA) Unit within the NPA is tasked with, inter alia, ensuring increased access to justice for victims of GBV as well as optimal management of these matters in a victim responsive manner, in line with the Strategic Plan of the NPA.

This is done by providing pre-trial and court preparation services, often in collaboration with Civil Society Organisations (CSO), at its sixty-three (63) Thuthuzela Care Centres (TCCs) across the country. These one-stop centres provide a variety of essential psycho-social, medical, and legal services thus creating a safe space for child victims to report offences against them and receive services that are empowering them to transform into survivors.

Specialised training is also provided to prosecutors in dealing with child victims and their testimonies. Whilst prosecutors in court are prioritising these matters, data is not kept for offences committed against children specifically. Prosecutors also work closely the investigating officers of these cases and guide the investigations as and when required to do so.

When prosecutors address the court on extenuating or aggravating circumstances, the fact that a child may have been the victim of the crime is one of the various aspects highlighted when the court is addressed before the passing of sentence.

(1).Whether, with reference to the processes to change geographical names, there is a specified threshold of support that is required to implement a geographical name change; if not, on what basis is the decision taken to change geographical names; if so, what is the required threshold of support. (2). Whether a name change is implemented on the basis of one individual application only; if not, what is the basis for determining that sufficient support exists for a name to be changed; if so, what are the relevant details. (3). whether a name change process will proceed if the application for the name change does not comply with the Handbook on Geographical Names in terms of the proposed name; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details. (4). (a) on what grounds will the Protection of Personal Information Act, Act 4 of 2013, be invoked to maintain the confidentiality of the applicant and (b) what is the step-by-step process that is followed, including time frames and minimum adherence requirements that are followed from receipt of the application to the final decision by him as the Minister?

Reply:

(1). The South African Geographical Names Act 118 of 1998 does not specify a threshold requirement for the support for a name change. The Provincial Geographical Names Committees in the provinces where the name concerned is located always host public consultation meetings in the local communities. These meetings are advertised in advance and minutes and attendance registers are kept. The decisions are taken based on the count of a simple majority of people who attended the public consultation meetings where the proposed names are put to the attendees.

(2). Individual South African citizens or a group of citizens can propose a name change in terms of the South African Geographical Council Act, Act No 118 of 1998. The Minister considers the application together with relevant accompanying details including the motivation for the name change, the evidence of public consultation and where applicable, written permission from the family after whom the geographical feature is proposed to be named.

(3). All geographical features approved by the Minister for change are done in terms of the SAGNC Act 118 of 1998. The Handbook is a users’ guide derived from the Act. All names changed do follow the guidance of the Handbook on Geographical Names. In instances where the proposed name is that of a person, written permission from the affected family is required before the name change is submitted to the Minister for his consideration.

(4)(a). The POPIA Act is also invoked when a PAIA request or Parliamentary Question is made to the Department that includes personal details of applicants, informants in relation to a geographical feature application.

(b). When a geographical feature or place name is proposed for change, a prescribed South African Geographical Names Council application form needs to be completed by the applicant who must be a South African citizen. The application form is submitted to the relevant Provincial Geographical Names Committee (PGNC) in the relevant province. The PGNC will do desktop research to check if the proposed name is a

national feature, is not a duplication of an existing name, is not undesirable in terms of race, gender. The PGNC will then put out local advertisements in community radio stations and local print media informing the local community of public consultation meetings with details like the dates, venues, and times for the public consultation meetings. The PGNC will host the public consultation meetings during which the community will discuss the proposed name changes. Attendance registers and minutes are kept during these meetings. In instances the new name is the name of a person, the family of the person after whom the geographical feature will be named, written permission from that family is required. It is desirable that the local municipality concerned is also consulted in order for it to indicate its support for the name change.

A simple majority of meeting attendees is required for the name change to be supported at the local community level. Once the PGNC is satisfied that there is community support for the name change and that all required documentation like proof of community meetings, with attendance registers and minutes, the information is submitted to the South African Geographical Names Council. The SAGNC sits once a quarter to consider all geographical names applications submitted to it. The SAGNC reviews all the documentation including the application form, evidence of public consultations, attendance registers and minutes of meetings. The SAGNC will also require PGNCs to provide evidence that public consultation meetings were advertised to local communities.

Letters from affected family members will also be reviewed. Once the SAGNC is satisfied that the due process was followed and that all documentation is provided, it will recommend the name change to the Minister. The relevant documentation will be submitted to the Minister who will apply his mind before taking the decision to either approve or not approve the name change application. Once the Minister has taken a decision, the name is put in the government gazette for public information. The public has thirty days after the gazetting of a name change to submit objections in writing to the Minister. This is in terms of section 10 of the SAGNC Act 118 of 1998. The Minister

will consider all objections and respond to all objectors in writing whether to reverse the name change or sustain his initial decision to approve the name change. This concludes the process.

Myburgh, Mr NG to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture

(1). What are the details of the programmes that his department has put in place to promote nation-building and reconciliation amongst all South Africans regardless of race, ethnicity and/or political persuasion. (2). Whether he has found that the promotion and singing of songs such as Kill the Boer, kill the farmer in fact undermines nation-building and the fostering of a shared vision for the future amongst all South Africans, if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW4314E

Reply:

(1). Insofar as nation-building and reconciliation do not imply preserving the inherited vestiges of the unjust society characterised by racial discrimination, repression, and flagrant violations of human rights against the majority, or ignoring the necessity of guaranteeing that race, ethnicity, and/or political persuasion is not a determining factor in the material conditions of South Africans as they did in the past, the Department of Sport, Arts, and Culture continues to spearhead and coordinate the Government’s Priority 6 Social Cohesion Programme of Action as part of a rallying call to transform the material conditions of our country in order to foster conditions that are favourable for genuine reconciliation, social cohesion, and nation-building.

As should be expected, the Department, through its various Departmental programmes, contributes significantly to nation-building and reconciliation among South Africans of all races, ethnicities, and other social enclaves. Among key programmes coordinated under this Priority Area is National Days Programme through which the Department continues to pursue social cohesion, reconciliation, and national

unity. This has been accomplished by deliberately making sure that the National Day is observed not just on its actual day but also for the entire month that it falls within.

This has made it possible for the National Days Programme to be diversified throughout the month by including a range of build-up or post-national day initiatives such as dialogues, seminars, and sports and arts activities. In this manner, even South Africans who do not prefer the traditional rally format in stadiums which is ordinarily employed for National Days are accommodated and do fully participate in the celebrations and are involved in the discourse around nation-building that comes at the back of our National Days given their link to our liberation history.

Additionally, the Department also utilises its Public Entities to reach as many South Africans as possible through the National Days programme. Utilising initiatives such as theatre, exhibitions and dialogues, the Public Entities play a significant role in the National Days programme by making sure that the programme reaches their niche audiences, thereby contributing significantly to the diversity of reach of the programme. This guarantees that National Days are celebrated on an intercultural basis fully inclusive of all South Africans and serve as a platform for introspection on our past and current concerns around nation-building, freedom, unity, and reconciliation.

The Department also implements several established community engagement initiatives that are designed with the express purpose of reflecting and mobilising our communities in the efforts of our country to address numerous challenges related to social cohesion and nation-building. These programmes include:

  • The Social Cohesion Advocates Programme – This programme consists of a cohort of eminent persons in our society who create platforms to promote unity, peacebuilding reconciliation, and social cohesion in our communities. Given their expertise as, among others, peacebuilders, facilitators, and general experts in promoting social cohesion, nation-building, and reconciliation, the Social Cohesion
  • Advocates continue to work with various stakeholders such as civil society, faith-based organizations, and Traditional Leaders throughout our country to promote
  • peaceful coexistence and respond to events that put the stability of our communities and country in jeopardy.
  • Community Conversations programme – This programme is meant to bridge existing divisions, among others, along race, class, gender, religion, culture, and other social contours to foster social integration and inclusion. The Department has adopted the Community Capacity Enhancement approach to Community Conversations, which promotes the use of dialogue and deliberation skills by communities in response to challenges rather than the recent wave of violent protests and social eruptions. This programme also deepens understanding of the “other” and fosters intergroup connections, all with the aim of strengthening social cohesion, nation-building, and reconciliation in our communities and country.

To guarantee that nation-building, social cohesion, and reconciliation are not merely theoretical concepts without the potential to impact inherited racial inequality, the Department remains steered by the recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to redress the past inequities, whilst integrating the previously marginalised heritage to cultivate the prospects of authentic reconciliation and social cohesion. To this end, the Department carries out the Heritage Legacy Project, whereby the Department has constructed several heritage sites and erected monuments and statues in pursuit of the transformation of the heritage landscape. For this MTSF period, these include the Sarah Baartmann Center of Remembrance; Winnie Mandela House in Brandfort; OR Tambo Legacy Project; JL Dube Amphitheatre.

The Department has further repatriated and reburied the human remains of several South Africans who were victims of our racist and brutal past such as Sarah Baartman, J B Marks, Moses Kotane and Klaas and Trooi Pienaar.

Through the South African Geographical Names Council, the Department continues to standardise the geographical names in South Africa to redress, correct and

transform our country with major towns recently changed such as Gqeberha from Port Elizabeth, Kariega from Uitenhage, Qonce from King Williamstown, and Winnie Mandela from Brandfort, and major airports having been recently changed that include the King Phalo from East London and Chief Dawid Stuurman from Port Elizabeth.

To create a national identity that is inclusive of all people and transcends racial, ethnic, religious, and other aspects of social identity, the Department has specific programmes to popularise national symbols such as the flag in every school project, the #IamtheFlag campaign, and workshops that raise awareness of national symbols based on our Passport of Patriotism. These initiatives, just to name a few, insofar as heritage is concerned, offer genuine prospects for genuine nation-building and reconciliation, and an overarching national identity that is based on the iconography that accurately reflects the demographic dynamics of our country.

The Department has specific Sports and Arts - in particular performing arts – programmes that are geared towards uniting people and building a cohesive nation where race, ethnicity and other social enclaves are not a determining factor to the life circumstances of South Africans. Sport brings people of different cultures, languages, religions, and ages together to celebrate one event, one sport, or just sport. The Department continues to promote sport as a crucial platform for promoting initiatives like prevention of GBVF, promotion of human rights, inclusion, non-racism, non-sexism, and many other important issues in society. In fact, through the Service Level Agreements, the Department has instructed different Sporting Codes to align with the National Priorities.

The results of this can be seen with the Soccer Premier League which has continued broadcasting messages calling for the end of gender-based violence, which has persisted as a worrying plague in our nation.

School sport has also proven to be a very important vehicle for promoting non-racialism and non-sexism as it brings learners from different backgrounds to interact across diverse enclaves of our society. During the MTSF period, over R1 billion has been spent on the School Sport programme, with a reach of over 419 472 learners who have participated in district championships across the country, thus creating an apt opportunity for interaction and promotion of non-racialism and non-sexism.

In the main, the Department takes particularly serious its role lead in fostering social cohesion and nation-building. This work remains critical as the legacy of colonialism and apartheid still lingers on and thus continues to texture social circumstances even in the current context of constitutional democratic order. Through the Mzansi Golden Economy Program, and in keeping with the third objective of the Priority 6 Social Cohesion Programme of Action, which is to promote social cohesion through increased interaction across space and class, the Department continues to support several arts initiatives that aim to draw diverse races and social enclaves of our country, thereby fostering unity, reconciliation, and trust in one another. These initiatives include, among others:

1. Joy of Jazz in Johannesburg, Gauteng

2. Innibos Afrikaans festival in Nelpruit, Mpumalanga

3. National Arts Festival in Makhanda, Eastern Cape

4. Johannesburg Comedy Festival – Johannesburg

These initiatives continue to be crucial in fostering not only interaction but also trust among those from diverse backgrounds. In the main, trust between people fosters the cohesion required for the promotion of genuine conditions for reconciliation and nation building thereby lowering the undesirable instances of, among others, racism, xenophobia, and homophobia.

(2). The South African Constitution has an important principle called the separation of Powers meaning the power of the state is divided between three but interdependent components. In the case of Afriforum vs Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the court made a ruling on the matter and Members of Parliament advised to be guide by that decision. The singing of the song Dubul’ ibhunu - “Kill the Boer - Kill the Farmer” - was not hate speech, Judge Edwin Molahlehi, sitting as an Equality Court in the High Court in Johannesburg,

(1)Whether he has found that pronouncements made by a certain foundation on various matters (details furnished) constitute the type of activities that a public benefit organisation (PBO) may not engage in; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (2) whether the (a) National Treasury and (b) SA Revenue Service intend to review the approval of the specified foundation (name furnished) as a registered PBO with an 18A classification; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

1. SARS cannot speak to the specifics of a particular case. However, the legal position is that a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) approved by the Commissioner under section 30 of the Income Tax Act, must conduct one or more Public Benefit Activities (PBAs). These activities are listed in the Ninth Schedule to the ITA. In general, these activities must be conducted in a manner referred to in section 30 of the ITA i.e.

  • In a non-profit manner and with an altruistic and philanthropic intent;
  • Should not be intended to promote the economic self-interest of anyone beyond reasonable remuneration; and
  • Should be widely accessible to the general public at large (not small and exclusive groups).

In determining whether a PBO is conducting the activities as required in law, SARS will consider the merits of each case on the facts and within the framework of the legal provisions available.

2. to reassure the Honourable member that SARS addresses all non-compliance irrespective of who the taxpayer may be without fear, favour or prejudice. Again, SARS cannot speak to the specifics of a particular case. However, where it is discovered that any PBO has contravened the conditions of its approval as stated in law, its exemption will be taken on review and, if necessary, withdrawn and subjected to related tax consequences. All other sanctions available to SARS through the Tax Administration Act also apply to PBOs. Such measures available to SARS include conducting of audits and other administrative actions. In executing its legal mandate, SARS deals with all acts of non-compliance by any PBO without fear, favour or prejudice.

What total number of public schools in each (a) province, (c) town and (d) suburb have recreational and/or sports swimming pools?

Reply:

A reliable response regarding this question is dependent on the availability of the existence of a national sport facilities database that can filter data as per the required variables such

as province, towns, and suburbs, schools, and coordinates of the exact site where the facility is located.

As a department, we have previously made efforts to ensure establishment of such database by trying to mobilise resources required to conduct a facility audit that will, among others, identify locations of all sport facilities in the country, including in terms of province, towns, suburbs, and schools.

These efforts included engagements with provinces to allocate resources from their budgets for this purpose, but budget availability was also a constraint for them. Another effort included submission of a request for R20 million under the second wave of Presidential Economic Stimulus Programme (PESP) to conduct this audit and use it to drive employment creation among young people, but unfortunately that application was not successful.

As a result, national department has not yet conducted this audit and does not have the information as requested. However, it has engaged with Swimming South Africa (SSA) to establish a possibility of availability of this information.

Fortunately, the Federation provided a report for an audit of swimming pool facilities in Mpumalanga province conducted in 2015 which, at the least, give an idea of the minimum

number of facilities that exist in the province. While the other limitation of the report is that it does not provide information to a level of town, suburb, and public schools, it however

provides a total of 26 swimming pools for both public and private schools. Unfortunately name of schools, their towns and suburbs are not provided.

Reply:

Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF)

(1) As of the conclusion of the first quarter of the fiscal year 2023/2024, all state departments and public entities participating in the Government Employees Pension Fund have been diligent in remitting their monthly contributions on behalf of their employees to the Fund. The data indicates that 99.90% of the total monthly pension contributions due were received and reconciled punctually as mandated by the relevant legislation.

(a)

(i) The minor discrepancy of 0.10% does not reflect arrears from any particular state department or public entity but rather pertains to adjustments necessitated by various scenarios such as service termination or changes in service conditions.

(ii) Consequently, there are no specific public entities identified as being in arrears with contributions.

(b) Given the nature of the discrepancy, it does not affect a quantifiable number of employees in a manner that would result from arrears in contributions.

(c) The financial impact represented by the 0.10% discrepancy is being analysed and resolved on a regular basis. The administrator conducts a reconciliation process which is a routine and rigorous part of ensuring compliance and accuracy in the contributions made to the Fund.

(d) To rectify the matter and ensure complete reconciliation:

- A robust process of reconciliation is conducted monthly to address any discrepancies and ensure that contributions reflect the accurate service conditions of all employees.

- Any adjustments required are being handled expeditiously, with a standard resolution timeframe of 30 days.

- Continuous monitoring and engagement with all participating employers are being maintained to ensure timely payment and accurate reporting of contributions, thus fostering a culture of compliance and transparency.

(2) No. All the concerned state departments and public entities have maintained a consistent track record of timely contributions, irrespective of the fiscal situation

South African Revenue Service (SARS)

1. From an employer point of view, SARS pays all statutory contributions on behalf of its employees to third parties such as Government Employees Pension Fund, Medical Schemes and the South African Revenue Service (PAYE, UIF and SDL) in full on a monthly basis. The current CC measures has no negative impact on the monthly commitments for the current staff establishment covered by the grant allocation.

From a Revenue Administration point of view, SARS is responsible for the collection of PAYE, UIF and SDL part of the payroll creditors (contributions) from respective employers. Pension and Medical Aid contributions are paid directly to the respective fund administrators.

(a) Of the 5,303 Departments and Public entities, 4,899 (92%) pay their PAYE, VAT and other tax obligation on time. In observing taxpayer confidentially provision of the Tax Administration Act, we are unable to provide any further specific taxpayer information including the list of the defaulting taxpayers as prompted by the question, it should be noted further that the specific entities can provide directly to the parliamentary oversight bodies such information.

(b) SARS information is limited to Employer account and the defaulting taxpayer debt is at an aggregate entity level. Information on the affected Employees is not yet available from the current Tax Administration data.

(c) The balance of 404 entities (from the total of 5,303) owe SARS R5.9bn in debt for the 2023/24 fiscal year comprised of PAYE R2.4bn, VAT R3.5bn. Of the R5.9bn debt R1bn is under dispute leaving a balance of R4.9bn undisputed of which R2.9bn is older than 3 years.

(d) SARS debt collection processes are employed to follow up on defaulting taxpayers and arrangements made to enforce that the debt is settled within reasonable time where feasible. Engagements with National Treasury to deduct from Grants the necessary amounts to settle taxes owed to SARS have been evoked as the last resort following lack of cooperation or lack of positive response from defaulting taxpayers. It is genuinely concerning for State Organs not to comply with the very tax laws that generate revenue that enables them to exist in order to delivery on their respective mandates of rendering public service to SA citizens who are the taxpaying community.

2. Prior to the Cost Containment measures coming into effect, SARS records have over the years noted an increasing level of Departments and SOCs indebtedness to SARS. There is no correlation between the current Cost Containment measures and the increase in the Departments and SOCs inability to pay their tax obligations over to SARS. This will be monitored closely in the coming months to observe trends post the implementation of the Cost Containment measures.

Reply:

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FUND

During the period 2022/23 the Unemployment Insurance Fund issued Intent to Discipline letters to eight (8) SMS members for the Fund’s poor performance in Quarter 2 (decline in performance from Quarter 1 to Quarter 2). This resulted in improved performance in Quarter 3. In addition, one (1) SMS member was disciplined for poor performance and dereliction of duties and issued with a Final Written Warning.

COMPENSATION FUND

For the current financial year 2023/2024, the Fund routed two separate submissions to the DG to approve the intention to institute progressive discipline action against two Senior Managers found to be performing poorly in their respective responsibilities. As per the disciplinary protocols in public sector the disciplinary letters will inform the employees of the respective charge and will afford them right of reply. The reply will be reviewed and further action will be taken. The compensation fund is awaiting the approval of the submission. The Fund has also had a 50% resignation of Chief directors and Directors end of 2022 before disciplinary action could be taken for poor performance

In terms of the Chapter 7 of the senior management handbook and the Public Service Act. The pieces of legislation do not make provision for the employer to take steps to ensure that no person is employed pending investigation. The only issue that is commonly practiced in the public service is that once the investigation is complete with recommendations to institute disciplinary action against the said officer, the report should be forwarded to a new employer to implement the recommendations or to request that the new employer continue with the investigation if the process of investigation was not completed by the former employer due to the officer resigned. When the former Commissioner resigned there was no investigation into his performance.

Pambo, Mr V to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation

In light of how global solidarity and sanctions played a significant role in undermining the Apartheid project in the Republic, what is the government doing practically to show solidarity with the people of Palestine, except the perceived lip service and empty messages?

Reply:

South Africa and Palestine are currently working on formulating practical strategies towards taking up the Palestinian cause to the ICC and ICJ to declare Israel as an apartheid state. South Africa will directly petition the ICJ to give advisory opinion on the legal consequences arising from the ongoing violation by Israel of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, from its prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967.

On the continental level, South Africa was instrumental in lobbying for Israel to not being granted an observer status to the African Union. In February 2023, South Africa welcomed the suspension of Israel’s observer status at the African Union. South Africa objected against the unilateral granting of official observer status by the Chairperson African Union (AU) Commissioner, on 22 July 2021. This action came at a time when the Israeli oppression became more brutal, the oppressed people of Palestine were and are subjected to bombardments and continued illegal settlements on their land, further hampering any efforts to the peace process.

On the global level, South Africa supports Palestinian efforts for membership of the United Nations and the creation of positive, credible, and lasting international mechanisms to address the Palestinian cause based on international law.

On the domestic level, the South African Parliament voted on 7 March 2023 in favour of a motion to downgrade its Embassy in Israel, to a Liaison Office. Since the recall of South Africa’s Ambassador to Tel Aviv in 2018, the South African Embassy in Israel has been headed by a Charge d’ Affaires.

Cuthbert, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture

(1). what is the total number of public recreational and/or sports swimming pools i(a) the republic and (b) each (i) province, (ii) town and (iii) suburb. (2). what number of the specified pools are (a) operational and (b) not operational in each specified(i)province,(ii)town and(iii)suburb?

Reply:

(1). A reliable response regarding this question is dependent on the availability of the existence of a national sport facilities database that can filter data as per the required variables such as province, towns, and suburbs, schools, and coordinates of the exact site where the facility is located.

As a department, we have previously made efforts to ensure establishment of such database by trying to mobilise resources required to conduct a facility audit that will, among others, identify locations of all sport facilities in the country, including in terms of province, towns, suburbs, and schools.

These efforts included engagements with provinces to allocate resources from their budgets for this purpose, but budget availability was also a constraint for them. Another effort included submission of a request for R20 million under the second wave of Presidential Economic Stimulus Programme (PESP) to conduct this audit and use

it to drive employment creation among young people, but unfortunately that application was not successful.

As a result, national department has not yet conducted this audit and does not have the information as requested. However, it has engaged with Swimming South Africa (SSA) to establish a possibility of availability of this information.

Fortunately, the Federation provided a report for an audit of swimming pool facilities in Mpumalanga province conducted in 2015 which, at the least, give an idea of the minimum number of facilities that exist in the province. While the other limitation of the report is that it does not provide information to a level of town and suburb, but it gives

the total number of swimming pools in the province, as well as the district and local municipalities where they are located.

In summary, by 2015 Mpumalanga had 61 swimming pools that are accessible to the public. For a provincial distribution of these facilities kindly refer to the attached Swimming Facility Audit Report of Mpumalanga. Department is still awaiting reports covering other provinces from the Federation and they will also be shared as soon as they become available.

(2). As indicated in the response above that due to lack of facility audit conducted by the department, reliance was placed on audit conducted by Swimming South Africa, and they have so far provided a covering Mpumalanga province only. However, report reveals that of the total sixty-one swimming pools in the province, only fourteen are in good conditions and fifteen are not usable. The remaining twenty-six was in average conditions and six in poor conditions, respectively.
