Van Minnen, Ms BM to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
(1) In view of his confirmation to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts on 19 February 2020 that each state-owned entity (SOE) must be evaluated for viability, (a) by what date will the process of evaluating the 131 SOEs commence, (b) who will be carrying out the evaluation and (c) what will be the criteria for such evaluations; (2) (a) what does his department intend to achieve with the evaluations and (b) how will the evaluations be connected to the financial viability of the SOEs; (3) how does he intend to deal with SOEs that are found not to be adding value and/orthat are not financially viable?
Reply:
(1)
Government as a whole is concerned about the number of state-owned enterprises and entities, and their respective governance operational and financial status. A process of review has been discussed and the relevant departments are establishing which entities can be merged, closed or retained. This will be an on-going process with regular reports to government.
Once the Presidential SOC Council begins its work, further measures and initiatives will be put in place.
(2)
As above:
In addition, Boards as the accounting authority in terms of the PFMA, will also be responsible for ensuring operational performance and financial viability of entities.
(3)
Government, in consultation with the relevant Departments, will determine the response to financial and other issues. The example of restructuring of Eskom as a result of the governance, operational and financial challenges arising from corruption and state capture.
Government initiated a process to change the business model, restructure the generation, transmission and distribution components with a view to better transparency, and focus on operational performance and financial efficacy.
The repositioning of state owned entities will continue to receive intense focus – particularly, ensure that dependence on the fiscus is stopped.

Selfe, Mr J to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether offenders released on parole or after completion of their sentences will be screened for coronavirus infection; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the process that will be followed in testing the specified persons?
Reply:
Offenders released on parole or after completion of their sentences are screened for coronavirus infection in terms of the Departmental Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the Preparedness, Detection and Response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
All presumptive and confirmed COVID-19 offenders who are due for parole or release are quarantined and isolated in DCS and parole suspended until confirmed negative.
Should the home environment allow for home quarantine or isolation (based on their individual health status) as determined by the Social Workers in Community Corrections, the offender may be paroled and linked with the District Tracer Teams.
These offenders will be subjected to a pre-release programme which includes information about their health condition (e.g. self-care and prevention measures) and provided with a two (2) months’ supply of medication.
Offenders whose sentences have ended are released and linked with the District Tracer Teams and referred in terms of the departmental health care referral procedures.

Gondwe, Dr M to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
What progress has his department made in establishing the Office of Complaints and Ethics to deal with service-related complaints and allegations of corruption?
Reply:
Service delivery – related complaints:
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (Department) has an approved Integrated Complaints Management Framework aimed at providing guidance and procedures in the management of complaints received from members of the public. Amongst others, the Framework states that complaints shall be finalised within fourteen (14) working days of receipt of the complaint. A dedicated e-mail account, [email protected], has also been established so as to facilitate streamlining of incoming complaints. The Department is in a process of establishing a call centre which is part of the bigger citizen-engagement strategy, and this will be finalised over the MTSF.
Ethics Management:
The Department has put controls in place in order to promote Fraud and Corruption Prevention. Amongst those is the Anti-Corruption and Ethics Management Policy as well as the Whistle Blowing Policy. The Anti-Corruption and Ethics Management Policy proposes an integrated approach to the fight against corruption and management of ethics, coupled with continuous awareness creation through sessions, information posters and leaflets, etc.
The Department has taken the stance that the management of ethics and fighting corruption activities is the responsibility of all officials, however designated key role players such as the Director-General (Acting), Ethics Champion and Ethics Committee members, Integrity Management Unit are bestowed with the responsibility to ensure the effective and efficient management of ethics.
All allegations pertaining to corruption within the Department are being investigated by the Internal Forensic Audit Unit. If the investigation reveals that there is substance in the allegation, the matter will be referred to Human Resource Management for disciplinary action. The allegation is also referred to the relevant Law Enforcement Agency for criminal investigation, i.e. the South African Police Service or the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation. The Department will follow-up on the criminal investigation until it has reached its logical conclusion.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
(1)How often are health care professional staff tested, given that they are front line staff dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic; (2) whether a health care professional may refuse to test a person who wants to be tested; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The health professional staff are not tested routinely except if they have symptoms of Covid-19 or fulfil the criteria of a high-risk exposure with a person who tested positive with Covid-19. They may after seven days of self-isolation be clinically evaluated and tested on day 8 with the possibility of early return to work if they have a negative test and are clinically well. They will continue to be monitored for symptoms till day 14 and are counselled on personal hygiene measures. Health professional staff are monitored daily through symptom screening.
The rationale is that there are not enough test kits and targeted testing is needed. Risk assessments in health care settings, use of public health measures, personal hygiene, training on Covid-19 and personal protective equipment all contribute to a lowered risk of transmission exposure.
2. The health care professional cannot refuse to clinically evaluate and test the person based on the national Department of Health guideline of prioritized testing for patients in hospitals with respiratory conditions as well as health care workers.

Breytenbach, Adv G to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
(1)(a) On what date was the first infection reported with regard to the outbreak of the COVID-19 infections at the East London Correctional Facility and (b) what number of days after the first patient became symptomatic was the person tested for COVID-19; (2) (a) what are the full relevant details of containment measures that were put in place (i) before and (ii) after the first infection was reported at the East London Correctional Facility, including but not limited to measures aimed at (aa) isolating the infected patient from the prison population, (bb) identifying and isolating the contacts of the first infected patient and (cc) testing of the contacts of the first patient and (b)(i) on what date and (ii) for what period were each of these measures implemented?
Reply:
(1)(a) The first infection was confirmed on 06 April 2020.
(1)(b) From 30 to 31 March 2020 the index official reported sick to the supervisor and was admitted to hospital on 01 April 2020. The index-official was accompanied by two colleagues also working at the same Centre and was tested for COVID-19 on arrival and result were to be available on 04 April 2020. However, the doctor immediately referred the two colleagues as well for self-quarantine pending the outcome of the results of the admitted patient.
(2)(a)(i) The East London Correctional Centre implemented Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Preparedness, Detention and Response to Coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) as approved by the National Commissioner on 14 March 2020. The SOP was implemented together with the Department’s COVID-19 National Disaster Response and Mitigation Plan for prevention, containment and recovery or re-integration. All officials and offenders, were trained both internally by the Department and the Provincial Department of Health on COVID-19 on how to prevent infection and handle infected cases.
In addition, the Management Area procured Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) in order to prevent the spread of the virus and continued to maintain a virus free environment through proper use of PPEs.
The Management Area COVID-19 response plan was activated resulting in mass screening and testing of both officials and inmates. Identified cells within the correctional centre were utilised to quarantine and isolate presumptive cases during the mass screening. These cells were already identified and prepared for this purpose as required by the SOP. Guest houses and isolation sites were also identified through the assistance of the Department of Health.
(2)(aa) The index official was tested for COVID-19 on 01 April 2020, where the medical doctor immediately referred the two colleagues for self-quarantine pending the outcome of the results. Furthermore, one of the two officials tested positive upon testing and was subsequently isolated. The other colleague who tested negative is back at work after having been quarantined.
The 56 inmates who tested positive for COVID-19 were moved to the other section of the Centre as it is not overcrowded. The following processes in the management of inmates were followed:
- COVID-19 Response team with clear Roles at all levels (Centre, Area, Regional level) was established;

Gondwe, Dr M to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
In light of the President’s Emergency Response Plan, what measures are being put in place by his department in order to capacitate and equip survivors of gender-based violence; (2) What number of (a) prosecutors, (b) magistrates, (c) court officials and (d) other law enforcement officials has his department provided with gender-sensitive training; (3) In addition to the establishment of special courts and the hiring of additional court officials, what other measures has his department put in place to clear the backlog of criminal cases for rape and other forms of gender-based violence; (4) What mechanisms has his department put in place to ensure that court officials who fail to (a) inform a complainant of his or her rights, (b) consider the complaint as soon as is reasonably possible and (c) serve an interim protection order and the original warrant of arrest on the complainant as stipulated by the Domestic Violence Act, Act 116 of 1998, are held accountable?
Reply:
1. (a) Government has adopted a multi-pronged approach in giving effect to the President’s Emergency Response Plan. Therefore, measures that are undertaken by the department are part of a comprehensive plan by various departments and Organs of State to empower and equip survivors of gender-based violence.
(b) The Department developed a Risk Assessment Tool for victims of intimate partner violence. This Tool is intended to increase the reporting rate in domestic violence and most importantly, to encourage survivors to take legal action against perpetrators on domestic violence so as to avoid further domestic violence and potential intimate femicide. It is primarily intended to reduce the incidence of intimate femicide in the country by opening the eyes of a victim of domestic violence so that they are able to make an informed choice when deciding what recourse to take. Copies of the Risk Assessment Tool have been widely distributed at our courts for the benefit of victims of domestic violence when they come to court to report a matter. Training on the national codified instructions has been provided to domestic violence clerks. Specific focus on the risk assessment tool has also been provided within this training.
(c) The Sexual Offences Courts play a critical role in empowering survivors of gender-based violence. Through these courts, sexual offences including rape are prioritised and these courts have maintained high conviction rates with harsh sentences as a deterrent to these heinous crimes.
(d) From the side of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the Thuthuzela Care Centres (TCC) remain an important vehicle to support and equip survivors of gender based violence. Through the TCCs the services of various departments including departments of Health and Social Development are able to provide integrated support services as the investigation, prosecution and trial of cases in which they are involved unfold. It is for this reason that the NPA has been allocated additional funds from, amongst others, the Criminal Asset Recovery Account (CARA) into which the proceeds of crime are deposited, to expand the TCCs from the current total number of 55 country-wide.
(e) The Department continues to conduct awareness campaigns through, amongst other media platforms, the radio to provide public education; information sessions, and dialogues in communities, at which survivors participate. A number of radio stations participate in these programmes which have a wider coverage. According to the Broadcast Research Council of South Africa 82% of the population in South Africa, are radio listeners, therefore the Department was able to reach an estimated 32 million South Africans through the use of radio.
2. (a) The table below reflects the training provided by the National Prosecuting Authority to prosecutors until the end of 2018/19:

(b) The on-going skills development of prosecutors, is to ensure updated and related expertise amongst prosecutors. Comprehensive training manuals were researched and developed in line with the latest developments in law. In particular, the Sexual Offences and Community Affairs unit has developed specialised training manuals for prosecutors, on sexual offences (including social context training), domestic violence, maintenance, child justice and trafficking in persons. In addition, the unit developed an integrated stakeholder manual for those directly involved at TCCs and Court preparation officers.
(c) Training has been conducted with domestic violence Clerks of Courts in four (4) provinces namely: Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape on the National Codified Instructions of Domestic Violence. It is envisaged that this will assist clerks to provide an effective service to complainants when they arrive at court for recourse on domestic violence matters.
(d) The South African Judicial Education Institute provides (SAJEI) gender sensitivity training to newly appointed and serving judicial officers. The exact number of judicial officers trained in the previous financial year has been requested from SAJEI. The Office of the Chief Justice has informed the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development that a total number of 187 District Magistrates were provided with gender-sensitive training during the 2019/20 financial year. The training programmes focused on Domestic Violence, Protection from Harassment Act and Older Persons Act.
(e) In the 2019/20 financial year the Justice College trained court officials as per the table below:
Programme |
Court Officials |

3. (a) It is inevitable that the national state of disaster and subsequent national Lockdown declared by the President following the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic will lead to exponential increase in case backlogs across all the tiers of our court system. The Regional Court, which prior to the national lockdown experienced 6 801 cases, will be the most overburdened. The total Regional Court Cases currently, are 7 651, which is a difference of 850 cases.
(b) Whilst under the Alert level 5 Lockdown courts dealt mainly with postponement and bail applications, during Alert Level 4 Lockdown sexual offences and domestic violence have been prioritised for trial.
i) The Directions’ lists published under Alert Level 4 list sexual offences and gender-based violence cases in the Annexure of Permitted Services.
In terms of the adopted plan, the Department collates all cases that were postponed in absentia during the national state of disaster and Lockdown and those which were not placed on the roll due to the lockdown. These cases are collated on a weekly basis and placed on a priority roll of each court. The existing structured case flow management meetings occur through the Provincial Efficiency Enhancement Committee (PEECs chaired by Judges President), Regional Efficiency Enhancement Committee (REECs chaired by the Regional Court Presidents) and the District Efficiency Enhancement Committees (DEECs chaired by the Chief Magistrates in the districts). It will be recommended that the PEECs, REECs and DEECs where all stakeholders are represented, including the organised legal profession, will manage these cases in their quarterly meetings.
ii) The priority roll in every court will incorporate all cases which have been listed on the Annexure to the Directions as Permitted Services under Level 4 Lockdown. These cases include corruption, including corruption relating to COVID 19 procurement, gender-based violence, robbery and other serious offences listed in the Annexure.
iii) Cases which are not placed on the priority roll will then be postponed for dates far away in the future.
iv) Other mechanisms to resolve these cases, in particular civil cases, will be settled through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. It is in this context that services of Judges discharged from active services and accredited mediators will be solicited. A protocol is being developed to enlist services of retired judges, and the office of the Solicitor-General is already inundated with requests for diversion of their disputes through ADR.
v) To enhance prioritization in the prosecution of sexual offence cases in all divisions, to support the following projects, were introduced:
a) Sexual offence cases DNA backlog project. This project is to focus on fast tracking outstanding court cases due to the unavailability of the DNA analysis reports, specifically those cases that involve children. This project is done in conjunction with SAPS FCS and the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and implemented in phases, to ensure that the backlog of these cases is reduced.
b) Sexual Offences cold cases project. The national project was initiated to relook at sexual offences “cold cases” that are not on the court rolls. This is to re-evaluate the content, with prosecutor-guided investigations and stakeholder cooperation with SAPS, with a view to placing fully investigated and prosecutable cases back on the court rolls. The project will be implemented in phases.
4. (a) In respect of (a) and (b) it is important to note that court officials who fail to inform a complainant of his or her rights, or consider the complaint as soon as is reasonably possible, are dealt with in terms of the existing performance management system which provides for disciplinary actions against any official who is found guilty of dereliction of duty.
(b) Interim protection orders and the original warrant of arrest relating thereto are served by police officers and there are regular structured meetings between the Department and SAPS management to address any glitches experienced in this regard.

Selfe, Mr J to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
What is the bed space available for remand detainees in his department? (2) What number of detainees were incarcerated at remand detention facilities as at 31 December 2019? (3) What steps is his Department of Correctional Services taking to reduce the overcrowding of remand detention facilities?
Reply:
1. The Department of Correctional Services has a total of 118 572 bed space which is utilised to accommodate all categories of inmates. However, there are dedicated Remand Detention Facilities (RDFs) which house mainly remand detainees and a fraction of sentenced offenders to perform labour which cannot be performed by remand detainees. As at 10 April 2020 the approved bed space for 20 dedicated under RDFs was 15 120.
2. 51 636 Remand Detainees (RDs) were incarcerated by 31 December 2019 as per daily unlock of 01 January 2020.
3. The strategies that are implemented by the department to reduce the overcrowding of remand detainees are as follows:
a) Bail Protocol Section 63(A) (Criminal Procedure Act - CPA): It allows the Head of the Centre to submit an application to court for review of bail of RDs who have been charged with Schedule 7 crimes. The criteria for submitting an application is when a particular centre/detention facility is reaching such proportions that it constitutes a material and imminent threat to the human dignity, physical health or safety of remand detainees. These must be the lower court cases (Regional and Magistrate courts). The possible outcomes are as follows:
• Release of the RD;
• Release and placement on warning;
• Placement under s62(f): Supervision by a correctional official;
• Reduction of the amount of bail;
• Placement in a secure care facilities; and
• Decline to review bail (Unsuccessful application)
b) Section 63(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act: This section allows the RD or the prosecutor to approach the court for a review of bail. All the RDs with bail qualify for bail review, however DCS cannot initiate the process without the permission of the RD.
c) Plea Bargaining Section 105 (CPA): DCS promotes the use of plea bargaining, however the agreement for entering into Plea Bargaining is between the RD, the Legal representative and the Prosecutor.
d) Section 49G of the Correctional Services Act: The section makes provision for the DCS to refer the RDs to court before completing a period of two years for consideration of their detention and thereafter annually if the RD remains in detention after the initial referral. The court will utilise options highlighted in section 63A of the CPA when considering the application from DCS.
While the department implements the strategies for reducing the population of remand detainees, it should be noted that the drivers of the population are beyond the control of the Department of Correctional Services. The key drivers are the use of pre-trial detention by courts and the increasing trend in serious crimes. The increase in serious crimes is closely related to an increase in the use of pre-trial detention by courts without the option of bail. Other drivers are the number of admissions received from courts and the length of stay which are beyond the control of institutions responsible for the detention of RDs.
Other factors include, failure to pay bail by those few RDs who have been awarded bail, delays in finalising court cases despite several court appearances. Large number (80%) of RDs are without bail.

Chirwa-Mpungose, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health
Given that the Republic is supposed to be testing 12 times the number of persons for COVID-19 than what is currently the case, (a) what steps is he taking to increase the number of tests done, (b) by what date will the target be reached, (c)(i) what is the range of the tests being utilised currently and (ii) how will the variety be increased to match the target minimum of 3 000 tests daily and (d) will the SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 rapid tests which detect infection in just 20 minutes be secured?
Reply:
a) There is no policy to increase testing by 12 times. However the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) has been steadily increasing the number of COVID-19 tests that they are conducting. Cumulatively as at 02 June 785,979 tests have been done with 51% done in the public sector with the remainder in the private sector.
b) On average over the past 14 days, an average of 19,024 tests are being done daily, and in the previous two weeks the average number of tests done per day were 15,471.
c) (i) Currently both public and private laboratories are using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) is in the process of evaluating the rapid antibody tests;
(ii) As more test kits as well as the rapid antibody tests become available and more people are referred for testing the rate at which we test will increase – it should be noted that we have already surpassed the 3,000 tests done daily as shown above.
d) SAHPRA is in the process of evaluating the rapid tests for quality and once they are registered they will be used - largely for surveillance to assess how many people have antibodies which means that they have had the virus.

Breytenbach, Adv G to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
(1)What policies and guidelines has his department put in place to prevent detainees under its care from being infected with the coronavirus by (a) staff members at its facilities and (b) remand detainees who may travel to and from court; (2) what are the relevant details of his department’s contingency plan in the event that a large percentage of warders become infected simultaneously?
Reply:
(1)(a) The department has approved Standard Operating Procedures for the Preparedness, Detection and Response to Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) which stipulates a number of psychological/psychosocial protocol measures and guidelines or activities to be implemented in order to prevent transmission of COVID-19 from staff to detainees at facilities and these include:
- Presentation of awareness sessions to the staff on:
- explanation on what COVID-19 is and the mode of spread;
- the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 to be aware of;
- measures to be taken to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others or acquiring it;
- compliance with basic Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures; and
- responsibilities of reporting to health care professionals or their health care providers when experiencing signs and symptoms.
- Implementation of Infection Prevention and Control measures especially the health care professionals when providing health care services;
- Screening of all officials on a daily basis when reporting for duty to ensure that those that are symptomatic are immediately referred to their health care providers for further management;
- Ensuring that all staff wash their hands with soap and water and sanitize them at regular intervals;
- Ensuring social/physical distancing even though wearing masks;
- Issuing all staff with cloth masks when performing their duties (e.g. for guarding and escorting), and coughing and sneezing staff with surgical masks; and
- Issuing of domestic gloves which must be decontaminated in between searches.
(1)(b) Remand detainees who may travel to and from court are protected as follows:
- guarding and escorting staff are provided with PPEs (cloth masks, disposable gowns or aprons and heavy duty or domestic gloves;
- there must be maintenance of social/physical distancing of 2 meters where practically possible, e.g. not overloading the vehicles; and
- all utensils, equipment, and vehicle used during transportation of such cases must be cleaned and disinfected after use.
(2) The Department has a contingency plan in place whereby non-centre based officials appointed in terms of the Correctional Service Act and the Public Service Act that have undergone basic training, will be transferred to the centres where services are needed as a result of staff shortages as a result of COVID-19. The Department has also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the South African National Defence Force whereby reserves will be used to augment the services rendered by correctional officials. In addition, the ex- Correctional Services officials will be appointed to augment the imminent shortage.

Van Staden, Mr PA to ask the Minister of Health
(1)With reference to the transfer of baby Edward Erasmus between various hospitals (details furnished), (a) what were the complications during his birth, (b) what was done at the John Daniel Newberry Hospital to stabilise the baby during the complications, (c) why there was no oxygen available at the Dihlabeng Regional Hospital to assist the baby, (d) why did the Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein send the baby to the Intensive Care Unit without informing the parents, (e) why was the life support machine disconnected without the consent of the parents and (f) why did the Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein refuse to provide the postmortem certificate to the parents; (2) whether he will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
1. (a) The mother (21 years old) delivered the baby (the mother's third delivery) at Clocolan, JD Newberry District Hospital with a reported history of meconium stained liquor and Apgar score of 5/10 and 6/10 at 1 minute and 5 minutes respectively. The mother arrived un-booked as a result no ultrasound was done antenatally. The baby was preterm estimated gestation age of 34-35 weeks with low birth weight (1,98 kg). In addition the following were found: Dysmorphic features and multiple congenital anomalies, anorectal malformation - imperforate anus, bilateral renal malformation - confirmed by kidney ultrasound, severe respiratory distress - most likely due to lung hypoplasia during pregnancy and upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
(b)-(c) The patient was transferred to the Neonatal ICU at the Dihlabeng Regional Hospital where the baby was put on a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine to assist the baby to breathe. As the baby's respiratory distress worsened the medical officer decided to transfer the patient Universitas Academic Hospital.
(d) The baby's condition was critical and it was transported via air transport, given respiratory support via CPAP. On arrival at Universitas Academic Hospital the baby was admitted to the Neonatal ICU as his condition required life support - at no stage did parents raise the issue of objection to the baby being put on life support.
(e) The baby died while on life support machines and his parents were allowed to hold the baby whilst he was still intubated.
(f) A post-mortem was offered to the parents but they refused.
2. Yes.

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy
Whether the proposal as stated by him at the 26th Investing in African Mining Indaba that the Government seeks to establish an alternative power generation entity outside of Eskom has been (a) discussed and (b) approved by the Cabinet; if not, why not; if so, on what date did this discussion and approval take place; 2) Where did the specified proposal originate from; 3) What is the proposed (a) structure, (b) mandate and (c) time line for the establishment of the new entity; 4) What are the relevant details of the envisaged reporting line of the entity to the national executive? NW482E
Reply:
2.. The single buyer model cannot be sustained, in respect of which Eskom is the sole aggregator and dispatcher of all the energy generated in the interconnected power system. This is due to Eskom’s poor balance sheet and its inability to carry the risks relating to long term power purchase agreements with other generators, without further encumbrance of the national revenue fund.
In the circumstances, it has become critical to find alternative models for the delivery of new generation capacity as required under the integrated resource plan. The entity that the Minister referred to at the Mining Indaba is aimed at complimenting the role that Eskom is unable to fulfil, in relation to new generation capacity. It is noteworthy that the entity could play the role of Buyer as well as developer of new power capacity, with or without private sector partners.
3. (a) (b)(c) work in regard to the structure has not been finalized and it would be premature to answer questions like mandate and timelines.
4. See (4) above

Hendricks, Mr MGE to ask the Minister of Social Development
(1)Whether her department intends to introduce legislation to allow it to continue paying disability grants to beneficiaries who are in the process of renewing their six-months disability grants; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether she will consider ensuring that the pension payout of a deceased pensioner is not terminated in the same month of death or the month after death to assist families to pay the debts incurred on funeral costs or other minor debts left behind by the deceased; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The Ministerial Directive, No. 6(k)(vii) as amended and gazetted on 09 May 2020, states that:
“Temporary disability grants which lapsed in February and March 2020, must be reinstated and continue to be paid from the date they were suspended until end of October 2020; temporary disability grants which did not lapse during April 2020, as contemplated in directive (l)(v) must continue to be paid until end of October 2020; and temporary disability grants which are due to lapse in May 2020 and June 2020, must continue to be paid until end of October 2020”.
The Directive further makes provision for Care Dependency grants which lapsed during the period beginning from February to April 2020 must be reinstated and continue to be paid until end of October 2020; and Care Dependency grants which lapsed during May 2020 or are due to lapse when the care dependent child turns 18 years of age, will not lapse until end of October 2020 and must continue to be paid until end of October 2020.
2. This option at present is not being considered. Most of the elderly have funeral cover for this. What is of concern is that many households are currently depending on the income from the elderly’s grant and are left destitute when the elderly pass on. The COVID-19 pandemic has also perpetuated the problem with more people becoming financially distressed.
To mitigate the impact of the pandemic, the President announced a relief package in the form of a Special COVID -19 Social Relief grant to the value of R350.00 per month to individuals who are: South African Citizens, Permanent Residents or Refugees registered on the Department of Home Affairs database; the applicant should currently be residing within the borders of the Republic of South Africa; be above the age of 18, unemployed; not receiving any form of income; not receiving any social grant; should not be receiving an unemployment insurance benefit and not qualifying to receive one; not receiving a stipend from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme and other financial aid; not receiving any other government COVID-19 response support; and not residing in a government funded or subsidised institution. The benefit came into effect in May 2020 and will be paid to qualifying individuals from date of application until end of October 2020.

Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Health
In light of the concerns about the coronavirus outbreak and the porous borders of the Republic, (a) what number of quarantine centres have been established in each province, (b) what kind of infrastructure is being used in the specified centres, (c) has each centre been equipped with the necessary scanners and medical equipment to handle potential cases, (d) what number of staff have been formally trained in each province to deal with potential cases of the coronavirus and (e) what was the cost of the establishment of each centre?
Reply:
a) The first part of the question related to the number of Quarantine facilities that have been activated in the country and shown per province.

There are a number of sites on standby but is only activated as and when the Province deem it necessary to accommodate patients and or PUI's.
(b) There is currently 64 privately owned and 72 state owned facilities utilised. The following types of facilities are being utilised:

These sites were assessed for their suitability against a set of guidelines that looks at their locality, access to the site, ventilation, basic infrastructure requirements like access to electricity and water and then space for each occupant.
(c) There is a list of equipment requirements provided for in the guideline that include the following:
Minimum Equipment |
Clinical gloves (latex, single-use gloves for clinical care) |
N95 masks – only for aerosol generating procedures (taking of specimens) Medical/Surgical masks |
Aprons - disposable |
Sharps containers |
Red health risk waste bags to be in health care risk waste box with biohazard sign |
Alcohol-based hand sanitiser |
Liquid hand wash |
Clean single-use towels (e.g. paper towels) |
Cleaning gloves (reusable vinyl or rubber gloves for environmental cleaning) |
Appropriate detergent for environmental cleaning and disinfectant for disinfection of surfaces, instruments or equipment |
Large plastic bag for general waste (black or transparent) |
Linen bags |
Collection container for used equipment |
What has been issued to each site is dependent on the type of site and their own commitment to the cause. In the Western Cape for example some privately owned sites only required masks, gloves, bioboxes and red bags. The rest were provided by the establishment themselves.
(d) A standard set of training is conducted by Provincial Departments of Health related to the following:
- Training of healthcare professional on SOPs that needs to be followed at the quarantine centres for daily examination, movements in the facility, infection prevention control measures and use of PPE kit etc.
- Paramedical staff (staff nurses, medics, pharmacist etc) need to be trained on SOPs to be followed at quarantine/isolation centres and use of PPE.
- Support staff (housekeepers/cleaners, caterers, security staff, drivers and general duty staff) need to be trained on the use of masks, gloves, cleaning and disinfection procedures and use of PPE kit, etc.
- When a new staff member is assigned to a quarantine/isolation site, it needs to be ensured that he/she has received proper training before undertaking the work.
- All training should emphasise that all activities/procedures must be done under the strict monitoring and observation of trained specialists.
The exact numbers of people trained at these facilities is currently unknown.
(e) The costs associated at each of these centres varies and is dependent on the type of facility, who owns it and what the commitment is from each related to the cause. Private facilities in the hospitality industry is paid per person per night. For that they provide the full accommodation and catering support function, and the Provincial departments pick up the bill related to any clinical and waste management services. Costs associated with that range between R850 to R1200 per night per person. This includes accommodation and two meals per day.
For public facilities, again depending on the type of facility the cost would vary. From a priority perspective, public facilities already equipped with linen, beds and other basic furniture and services were first activated. In more dire times the Department is preparing public facilities by procurement of all beds, furnishing and operational equipment to activate facilities as a second priority. However, in the short term there is a heavy reliance on privately owned facilities where the moneys paid, also strengthened the tourism industry where no income could be generated.
The procurement of Health Technology equipment is also not done in bulk and at a rapid rate to make provision and address the demands that Covid-19 is placing on the department. Equipment is issued to where it is needed and includes Medical, Isolation and Quarantine facilities so to isolate the costs to only quarantine facilities is difficult at present.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
(1)In light of the shortage of test kits to test for the presence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes the Covid-19 disease, what steps is he taking in this regard; (2) whether he or his department has taken any steps to reduce the turnaround time of four to five days for the release of the results; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether he intends to take any steps with regard to the general shortage of test kits and the very limited quantities available for testing in the testing sites and mass-screening areas which cause delays for effective testing; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant steps?
Reply:
(1) There is a global need for test kits with countries in the north taking up the majority of the kits that are available given the large number of positive patients in these countries. This has resulted in a global shortage of test kits. The Department has worked with the National Health Laboratory Service to increase the number of test kits that are available to South Africa. The Minister has engaged with some of the manufacturers of test kits to encourage them to increase the number of test kits that they supply to South Africa. A challenge is that the limited number of flights from countries that manufacture the test kits adds to the challenges being experienced.
(2) Yes, steps have been taken to reduce the turnaround time. In-hospital admission, patients under investigation are prioritised, and the turnaround time for these patients will be reduced to 48 hours. The turnaround time for the other samples are being addressed through utilisation of academic platform testing sites and private laboratories, as well as increased output at NHLS laboratories. Over the last week the number of tests have increased from 51,000/week to about 60,000/week.
As a result of the global shortage of COVID-19 test kits, including extraction kits, the criteria for testing has been amended. The Department has prioritised testing of patients in hospitals with respiratory conditions, as well as people who have had contact with a known positive patient as well as health care workers. As soon as serological (antibody) tests are registered by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAPHRA) these will be used for population level surveillance to get prevalence rates.
(3) As noted above, the criteria for testing have been changed. We have halted mass testing as the target that was set of 14 million people screened through community screening has been achieved and we have moved to targeted screening and testing. In addition, as mentioned the number of laboratories that test for COVID-19 has increased. With respect to antibody testing, the NHLS and SAPHRA are fast tracking the validation and registration of these tests. However, it should be noted that these tests will largely be used for surveillance with the PCR test used to test individual patients for acute infections.

Hendricks, Mr MGE to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether, given that no prisoners are allowed to receive any visitors due to the COVID-19 lockdown to curb the spread of the virus, the families of Muslim prisoners will be allowed during the last week of Ramadan to bring them gift packs of sweet treats and drinks in celebration of Eid-ul Fitr; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
No,
The State President announced a state of disaster in March 2020, putting the country in a state of lockdown. Subsequently, the Department suspended all visits to Correctional Centres.
Based on the above, Correctional Centres will not be able to receive any gift packs for offenders as there are no visits permitted during Level 05 and 04 of lockdown.

Motsepe, Ms CCS to ask the Minister of Health
What measures does he intend to take to regulate retail stores which have emerged as a dangerous point of infection for COVID-19 to stop the surge in infections at such centres?
Reply:
Information from a number of provinces including the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal and Western Cape shows that during the lockdown retail stores became a node for the transmission of COVID-19. This should not surprise us as grocery shops were one of the essential parts of the economy that had to be kept open with high volumes of people congregating in them. Thus facilitating the spread of the virus. This also meant that infected shoppers – many of whom may have been asymptomatic (that is they didn’t know that they were infected) also infected employees in the retail sector. These employees then go back to their communities and the virus spreads in their local communities.
Provinces have implemented a number of steps to mitigate the risk of transmission in retail stores. In the Western Cape the Department of Economic Affairs and Tourism had several engagements with the owners and management of small and large retail outlets and mall management. They were provided with guidelines on the prevention of COVID-19 transmission, including deep cleaning, dealing with personal hygiene, dealing with staff that become symptomatic, making public announcements, etc. In Gauteng, the MECs for health and economic affairs met with the leadership of the retail sector in the province to discuss the implementation of measures to prevent transmission of the virus, including hand washing/ sanitizing and social distancing as well as the use of masks. The major retail stores are currently implementing these measures nation-wide. In the Eastern Cape, health officials have visited retail stores in urban areas to monitor compliance.
Workplace health and safety issues were also discussed at NEDLAC. These included the need to conduct risk assessments in all workplaces, implementation of public health measures to prevent the spread of the virus as well as personal hygiene measures. It was also agreed that sector specific guidelines will be produced and implemented

Selfe, Mr J to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether he has found that sufficient work is provided to all sentenced offenders as provided for in section 40(1)(a) of the Correctional Services Act, Act 111 of 1998; if not, (a) why not and (b) what proportion of sentenced offenders are provided with such sufficient work?
Reply:
(a) No, not all sentenced offenders can be eligible to work, such as offenders with further charges, disabilities and sentenced children unless for the purpose of training aimed at obtaining skills for their development, offenders who were declared unfit to perform labour.
Offenders are allocated work activities by Case Management Committees (CMC) considering the offender’s security risk classification.
Sentenced offenders are therefore provided with work opportunities internally and externally within the correctional centre environment. The allocation varies from centre to centre depending on available created work opportunities. The internal allocations include:
- Office Cleaners;
- Section Cleaners;
- Care Givers;
- Tutors – Peer Educators;
- Barbers;
- Laundry;
- Kitchen Cleaners; and
- Kitchen Cooks
The external allocations include but are not limited to:
- Maintenance: Plumbers; Welders , Bricklayers, Electricians, Carpenters and Painters;
- Workshop: Textile, Steel and Wood;
- Terrain Cleaning Team;
- Agriculture: Vegetable, Dairy and Meat;
- Skills Development;
- Car Wash;
- Visit Room Cleaners; and
- Special projects – (Poverty Alleviation)
One of the major challenges is the allocation of work to a maximum offender which is based on risks posed. Such offenders are not allowed to leave the correctional centre, therefore all work opportunities are sourced or confined within the centre or a security plan must be available for such offender that needs to be taken out of the centre.
(b) As at end March 2020, 3 3971 (70.52%) offenders out of 4 8170 with work opportunities performed work against a target of 56%. It should be noted that not all centres can highly perform due to demographics, and security classification of offenders accommodated per correctional centre.
On average, 1 500 offenders work in production workshops per day, while, on average, 3 000 offenders are working in agriculture/farms per day. The department is continuosly making an effort for sentenced offenders to be provided not only with work opportunities but also by following daily activites in a form of programmes and services as outlined by Structured Day Programme (SDP) and executed through rostering

Selfe, Mr J to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
(1)Whether assessments are done of inmates admitted to correctional centres serving sentences of 24 months or less, as is required by section 38 of the Correctional Services Act, Act 111 of 1998; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) What rehabilitative and/or educational programmes are available to such inmates obliged to participate in such programmes?
Reply:
1. All sentenced offenders are subjected to an immediate risk and needs assessment (i.e. immediate educational needs, vulnerability to sexual violence and exploitation, social and psychological needs among others) within 6 hours upon admission. The classification of all offenders is also done for all categories to determine their risk levels. The dynamics of such an offender population must be considered. It is a very mobile population which has a significant impact on the time needed for a useful assessment. The compilation of the Correctional Sentence Plan however is reserved for offenders sentenced to longer than 24 months.
2. Correctional Programmes are available to sentenced offenders. Correctional Programmes are non – therapeutic in nature and rendered within the group work mode, meaning groups of 15 – 20 offenders in a group. Since the Department is focussing on offenders sentenced to longer than 24 months, when assessments are conducted and programmes rendered accordingly, these groups of offenders are not obliged to attend Correctional Programmes. The following thirteen (13) Correctional Programmes are however available to sentenced offenders:
- New Beginnings Orientation
- Anger Management (Anger In Anger Out)
- Cross Roads
- Restorative Justice Orientation
- Preparatory Programme on Sexual Offences
- Substance Abuse (Stop to Start)
- Behaviour Modification Programme on Gangsterism
- Economic Crime Programme (fraud related)
- Economic Crime Programme (theft related)
- Programme on Murder and related offences (Changing Lanes)
- Programme on Robbery and related offences (Change is possible)
- Correctional Programme for Female Offenders
- Pre – Release Programme
Educational Programmes
All offenders are subjected to assessment for placement in the various educational programmes. Educational programmes are offered to all inmates in the following:-
- Pre – Literacy (for those who are illiterate): This programme is offered for offenders who cannot read or write
- Adult Education and Training (AET) Levels 1- 4: This is equivalent to Grades 1-9 in normal mainstream education and it’s for offenders who want to pursue studies in the General Education and Training (GET) Band.
- Further Education and Training (FET): Grades 10 - 12. All those offenders that have successfully completed the above-mentioned programme get an opportunity to pursue studies in the FET Band following a curriculum known as Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS), similar to all external schools within the education system of the country. These are offered by the DCS full time schools.
- Higher Education and Training (HET): After completing their Grade 12 qualification, offenders are afforded an opportunity to advance their education through distant education.
- Computer Based Training: This programme is offered to promote computer based learning and is offered in designated Computer Based Training Centres (CBT) where we offer basic Computer Literacy as well as the advanced International Computer Driver’s License (ICDL).
Skills Development Programmes
Skills Development programmes are available to offenders serving a sentence of 24 months or less, where resources are available the following options are available:
- Vocational skills training programmes are offered as per availability at a Correctional Centre. Offenders are offered accredited and non-accredited training. The Department focuses on ensuring that offenders assigned to workplaces are offered accredited training, in addition to workplace learning, to ensure employability and self-sustainability upon release.
- An example of the programmes available are hairdressing, nail technology, chef assistant training, waste management, new venture creation, welding, plumbing, and other entrepreneurial training programmes just to mention a few.
- Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) College programmes are available to offenders who want to enter the vocational educational field and it is also available as a post school option, at Correctional Centres where resources are available. The objective of the TVET College programme, is to yield job–linked programmes and graduates that are immediately employable. This is the contribution of DCS in counteracting the high rate of unemployment by improving skills and productivity of the incarcerated.

Horn, Mr W to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
(1)Given the rising number of inmates being infected with COVID-19 at correctional facilities, what procedures are in place to ensure that deliberate attempts by inmates to infect one another are eliminated; (2) what (a) total number of inmates have been placed in quarantine since COVID-19 was declared a national disaster and (b) percentage of the specified number of inmates were quarantined outside the confines of the correctional service sites where the respective prisoners are serving their sentences; (3) what proactive arrangements are in place to ensure that the warden to inmate ratio remains stable in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, given the vulnerability of both wardens and inmates in contracting the virus; (4) what (a) is the budgetary allocation to educational programmes designed to create awareness about the coronavirus in correctional facilities and (b) percentage of this allocated budget has been spent to date?
Reply:
1. Awareness session on COVID-19 are held by unit managers and health care professionals whereby the psychological/psychosocial protocol and guidelines is shared with the inmates:
- Explanation on what COVID-19 is and the mode of spread;
- The signs and symptoms of COVID-19;
- Measures to be taken to prevent spreading and/or acquiring COVID-19;
- Compliance with basic Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures;
- The responsibilities of reporting to the staff when experiencing signs and symptoms.
(2)(a) The total number of inmates that have been placed in quarantine since COVID-19 was declared a national disaster is three thousand six hundred and forty four
(3 644) from 01 April to 16 May 2020, and
(2)(b) None of the inmates were quarantined outside the confines of the correctional service sites.
3. The Department has a plan in place whereby non-centre based officials appointed in terms of the Correctional Service Act and the Public Service Act that have undergone basic training, will be transferred to centres where services are needed as a result of staff shortages as a result of Covid-19.
The Department has also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the South African National Defence Force whereby reserves will be used to augment the services rendered by Correctional Officials.
In addition, the ex-Correctional Services officials will be appointed to augment the imminent shortage. This Contingency plan will ensure that the staff to inmate ratio remains stable and that the available Correctional officers are not overwhelmed.
4. There is no specific budgetary allocation for creating awareness amongst the inmates due to the fact that these sessions are rendered by departmental unit managers and health care professionals.
Budgetary allocation for education programmes designed to create awareness about the coronavirus in correctional facilities amongst officials:
