King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Basic Education
How will the district development model, to which the President, Mr M C Ramaphosa, referred in the State of the Nation Address on 13 February 2020, function in the basic education sector?
Reply:
The President of the Republic of South Africa, His Excellency Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, launched the District Development Model (DDM) in OR Tambo (ORT), Ethekwini and Waterberg municipalities in 2019. The DDM is intended to enhance service delivery through collaboration of all government departments in all municipalities through a single plan called the One Plan.
The basic education sector is already steps ahead in the implementation of the DDM. Firstly, the Minister of Basic Education, Mrs Angie Motshekga MP, gazetted an amended Policy on the Organisation, Roles and Responsibilities of Education Districts in January 2018. The Policy, in addition to providing norms for the structure, size and resourcing of education districts, mandates that education districts should be aligned to municipal districts and metros. This is done in a manner that makes educational sense and takes into account other factors such as geographical orientation. For example, a municipal district/metro might have more than one education district in order to enhance manageability and support to schools. Subsequently, ORT municipality is comprised of two education districts - ORT Coastal and ORT Inland, Ethekwini metro is comprised of Umlazi and Pinetown education districts.
Education districts within a municipal district/metro, like all other government departments, should contribute to the development of the Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The education sector must identify catalytic projects/programmes, e.g., school nutrition, infrastructure and sanitation to enhance service delivery, and impact positively on the lives of the people; and to address their needs. The identified projects must be informed by research. For example, one of the immediate needs in ORT district municipality is that more than 60% of the youth have not passed the National Senior Certificate (NSC). To this necessity, the education sector is providing the Second Chance Matric Programme (SCMP), which provides learning materials and tuition to ensure that more youth can attain the NSC. Overall, all planning for capital projects in the basic education sector, will be done and coordinated through the One Plan of the District Development Model in each of the district municipality or metro.

Thembekwayo, Dr S to ask the Minister of Basic Education
Whether her department is planning to build a school in the Gert Sibande District Municipality region for children living with autism; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Response from Mpumalanga Department of Education: The Department has no plans to build a school for learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Gert Sibande District Municipality. The establishment of a school is based on a wide range of criteria including the number of learners identified to attend the school. Currently; there are 42 learners with Autism that are admitted in Special Schools. The Department has Units in the Special Schools for Severe Intellectual Disability (SID) to accommodate learners with Autism. Through the implementation of inclusive practices, learners with Autism are able to access required professional specialists appointed at SID schools because they are learners who require moderate to high levels of support. However; some learners referred and recommended for placement are not yet placed as the parents have a right to choose a school; unfortunately, in some instances preferred schools are full to capacity. It has to be noted that there is a plan in place to open a Unit for learners with Autism at the proposed school for hearing and visually impaired which is currently under planning and design in Barberton

a) The participants were initially informed of the termination of their contracts by the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development and Property Management, via a text message. This was to be followed by letters from public bodies to the participants in their respective programmes.
b) The contracts of the affected participants had come to an end on 31 March 2020.
c) The following public bodies were affected by the termination of the EPWP participants:
Provincial Departments |
Municipalities |
Gauteng Department of Health |

Tarabella - Marchesi, Ms NI to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What number of educators have left the teaching profession in each province since 1 January 2012?
Reply:
57 193 permanently appointed educators resigned between January 2012 and December 2019. The unusually high numbers of resignations were recorded in 2014 and 2015. This coincided with the period in which there was uncertainty relating to the changes in pension dispensation. However, it should be noted that as at February 2020, about 17 800 of the educators who resigned, were back - appointed as educators in schools. |

Whitfield, Mr AG to ask the Minister of Police
Whether the Jeffrey's Bay Police Station will be upgraded from half colonel status to full colonel status; if not, why not; if so, by what date’?
Reply:
The structures of police stations have lower and upper limits. A police station, at the level of Lieutenant Colonel, has between 91 and 179 staff. The grading of a police station does not only apply to the command structure but also to additional resources, without necessarily upgrading the post of the Station Commander.

Reply:
No housing allowance deductions are made for South African Police Service (SAPS) employees, who do not reside in official accommodation.
However, in forms of the Government Employee Housing Scheme (GEHS), .those employees who are renting and who ware employed, before 27 May 2015, receive R1 398,35 of which R498,35 is transferred to an interest bearing saving facility. For those employees who were appointed, after 27 May 2015, the whole amount. of R1 398,35 is transferred to an interest bearing saving facility.
The saving facility is administered by the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and the National Treasury and funds can only be withdrawn when:
An employee becomes a homeowner.
In case of a contracted employee, his/her contract expires and the contract is. not renewed.
An employee passed on.
An employee retires or is medically boarded.
With effect, from 1 March 2017, all employees who currently rent official accommodation, pay R900,00 rental, per month, for state accommodation.
The deduction, in respect of state accommodation is paid into the National Revenue Fund. The deposit is made, in terms of Section 11(1)(a) of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No 1 of 1999).

Nodada, Mr BB to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology
(1)What number of students who were supported by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) in each faculty of each institution of higher learning in the 2018 academic year (a) were enrolled for each (i) degree and/or (ii) other qualification, (b) wrote (i) exams and (ii) supplementary exams in each (aa) degree, (bb) qualification and (cc) subject, (c) passed and (d) failed each exam and/or supplementary exam that they wrote; (2) what were the marks obtained in each subject in respect of which an exam and/or supplementary exam was written by NSFAS supported students?
Reply:
The Department and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) will not be able to provide the information in the requested format, as this level of detail is only available at an institutional level, and would take considerable time to collate. There would also be limits to the level of detail that could practically be provided per institution.
In terms of the data exchange between NSFAS and institutions, institutions provide information to NSFAS on whether students meet the criteria for continuation. The level of detail requested in terms of examinations, supplementary examinations, subjects passed and failed, marks, etc. is not provided to NSFAS.
The Department's Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) collects information on enrolments and completion of qualifications. This enables cohort reporting to be done according to a breakdown of qualification types, i.e. 3-year degrees, 3-year diplomas and 4-year degrees. Specific cohort information is also collected on the MBChB programme, engineering programmes, life and physical sciences and teacher education. In addition, data is broken down according to population group and gender. This is in line with the requirement to focus on specific Medium Term Strategic Framework targets. It is possible to provide an overview of the breakdown according to fields of study, i.e. Science, Engineering and Technology; Business and Commerce; Education and the Humanities.
NSFAS recipient data is also brought into the cohort study to show the overall performance of NSFAS recipients, and the study is also able to look at students enrolled for foundation programmes. The attached cohort study was based on data up to the 2017 academic year and provides the throughput and dropout rates of NSFAS funded students.
It is only possible to provide a global picture of throughput rates for particular cohorts. Data provided to HEMIS is at a high level according to qualification registrations and by CESM (Classification of Educational Subject Material), and not by faculty. The names of qualifications reported from different institutions are not consistent, as they are reported according to their accredited names. HEMIS only reflects pass or fail results for the course completion at a full-time equivalent level to determine the overall success rates of the sector or by institution. This data is required at a high level for funding and planning purposes.

In view of the fact that only two of the nine export protocol targets were met, what are the details of the (a) targets that were (i) not met and (ii) met and (b) plan(s) to correct the situation and ensure that the targets are met?NW613E
Reply:
In terms of the quarterly performance targets in the 2019/20 Annual Performance Plan (APP), 9 export protocols were implemented during Quarter 1, but were reported to be still in progress pending validation of reported data at the regional offices (WC, KZN, PE) by the unit responsible for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). As at to date, validation of the 9 export protocols by both M&E and the Directorate Inspection Services(DIS) has been concluded and all 9 export protocols have been implemented.
7 export protocols were implemented during Quarter 2 of 2019/20, but were also reported to be still in progress pending validation.M&E is allowed 90 days after each Quarter to validate reported performance.
The implementation of the protocols is seasonal and sometimes overlaps to the next quarter. The table below shows in which quarters each export control is expected.

(1)What number of students in each faculty of each institution of higher learning in the 2018 academic year, (a) were enrolled for each (i) degree and (ii) other qualification, (b) wrote (i) exams and (ii) supplementary exams in each (aa) degree, (bb) qualification and (cc) subject, (c) passed and (d) failed each exam and/or supplementary exam that they wrote; (2) what were the marks obtained in each subject in respect of which an exam and/or supplementary exam was written?
Reply:
1) (a) Not all universities structure their faculties in the same way as some have colleges or schools. They determine within those faculties/colleges/schools their departments as deemed appropriate by each university. Data provided to the Department’s Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) is at a high-level according to qualification registrations and by CESM (Classification of Educational Subject Material), and not by faculty.
The Department is able to provide high-level enrolment and graduate data per CESM level. Enrolment data per university is provided in Table 1 (Annexure A) by qualification type and major field of study. In addition, data is provided per university by qualification type in Table 2 (Annexure A).
(b) HEMIS data only reflects a pass or fail result for the course completion at a full-time equivalent level to determine the overall success rate of the sector or by institution. Data on supplementary examinations are not collected. Table 3 (Annexure A) gives the success rates of students across all public universities by attendance mode (contact/distance) and by demographic population group.
(2) Marks are specific to a particular student and held by universities. This information would be subject to the universities’ confidentiality agreements with their students. The Department does not collect this level of detailed information per student, and is unable to provide it.

(1)With regard to the Compensation Fund’s new electronic system, CompEasy (S4i) introduced in October 2019, what total amount (a) did the system cost and (b) of claims have been (i) lodged and (ii) paid since the new system was introduced; (2) whether the new system was parallel-tested with the old system; if not, why not?
Reply:
1. CompEasy (S4i) information:
(a) R 143 million
(b) Claims processed in the system since introduction of the new claim system:
i.Medical invoices processed 170 955
ii. Claims Registered 15 428
iii. Claims Paid:
- to medical service providers on CompEASY is R103 million
- to medical service providers on SAP ECC R 479 million
- to pensioners and beneficiaries R465 million
2. Adequate User Acceptance Testing and Quality Assurance was provided during the development of the new system prior to introducing the system. The gradual release of the functionalities in the system also assisted Users to test the system internally and give feedback before it is released to the public.
There is no legal or operational requirement to parallel test a system. Based on the control weaknesses in the old system, parallel testing would have continued to expose the Fund to fraudulent and invalid claims.
On the payment side the Fund continued to pay claims both on the new CompEasy system and on the old SAP ECC.

NW627E
Reply:
(1). Currently the Oude Stadshuisis closed to the public.
(a)(i). It was closed to the public on 31 December 2015.
(ii). Two serious electrical-related incidents – a fire in the wall and burning in the ceiling – transpired at the Oude Stadshuis. Assessment of the incident by The Department of Public Works and Occupational Health and Safety team determined that the impact of the incidence made it unsafe for the public, staff and irreplaceable artworks housed therein.
(b). The reopening of the Oude Stadshuis is dependent on a series of factors. Some of the processes of upgrading and maintaining the museum are beyond the locus of Iziko’s control. Iziko is engaging with all stakeholders at national, provincial and local levels, and have followed all required processes. Iziko is committed to ensuring the protection and safety of the building, the collection formerly housed therein, and the public – whom our museums serve. The impact of the recent occupation by the refugees of the veranda of the Oude Stadshuisand the surrounding building, has further impacted the implementation timelines. Currently, a project manager has been appointed to manage the implementation. Procurement of goods and services are planned for the upcoming fiscal and Supply Chain has been engaged in the processes. Project implementation that is both outside of the scope and control of Iziko Museums of South Africa, include approvals by provincial heritage authority committees.

Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Employment and Labour
(1) Of the 500 000 jobs to be created per annum, how many were created in the (a) 2017/18 and (b) 2018/19 financial years; (2) with reference to the National Development Plan that 11 million jobs are targeted to be created by 2030, what is the current position regarding the jobs that have been created thus far; (3) whether such a target will be reached; if not, why not; if so, (a) how and (b) what are the further relevant details?
Reply:
1. Section 10(1) of the Employment Services Act, No 4 of 2014 does not put an obligation to any employer in either the private or public sector to report on any vacancy or jobs created. We therefore do not have an accurate record of all jobs created across the country including those in the small business sector or cooperatives during 2017/18 and 2018/19. The registration of opportunities is voluntary and advertisement and placement in those opportunities are done free of charge. The number of opportunities registered with the Department during the 2017/18 and 2018/19 was 131 994 and 172 814 respectively.
We also know that at the end of Quarter 3 there were 16.4 million people that are employed and we also maintain records of registered work seekers that we place in the labour market. We do know that within government, the opportunities that were created by public works projects in 2017/18 and 2018/19 were 1 406 736 and 1 455 840 respectively.
The Public Employment Services Branch of the Department of Employment and Labour placed in employment during 2017/18 and 2018/19 a total of 131 994 and 172 814 persons respectively.
2. The National Development Plan projections of 11 million jobs to be created by 2030 were based on certain assumptions at a particular point in time. In panning for the next five years, our government took into consideration the prevailing economic conditions both locally and internationally and made adjustments accordingly in the Medium Term Strategic Framework 2020/21 to 2023/24.
3. (a & b) The current situation regarding jobs and whether the target will be achieved or not is as outlined in point 1 above.

Powell, Ms EL to ask the Minister of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation
What are the relevant details of the steps she intends to take to ensure that officials within her department submit reports to the Portfolio Committee on Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation at least three days in advance of committee sittings, thereby giving committee members sufficient time to adequately prepare for meetings, as per their repeated requests (details furnished)?
Reply:
Honourable Member, both my Departments are familiar with the standard practice requirements and comply with this, unless there are delays beyond any official’s control.
30 March 2020 - NW440
Graham-Maré, Ms SJ to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
What measures does her Department have in place to ensure that (a) proper and accurate records of participants are kept in the Expanded Public Works Programme, (b) regular audits are done on the participants’ lists, (c) there are no ghost workers, (d) implementers are working within the budgeted allocations for the registered number of participants and (e) steps are taken to address non-compliance?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
The following measures have been put in place to ensure the following:
(a) In terms of the Section 12(2) of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) Ministerial Determination, every employer must keep all the records of each participant for at least three years after the completion of the EPWP project. In the current reporting procedures for theEPWP, public bodies are expected to scana certified Identity Document (ID) copy for every participant reported. This is to ensure that each ID numbers of the participants captured in the system are cross-referenced with the Home Affairs Database to safeguard that only valid ID numbers are reported. However, to address the audit findings issued by Audit General of South Africa which indicates that public bodies do not keep all records as per the requirements of the Ministerial Determination, the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) is upgrading the current EPWP reporting system to ensure all requisite documents are uploaded by public bodies when reporting on work opportunities created. In the interim, through public body visits which are conducted by the DPWI to verify information reported into the EPWP Reporting System, verification of records kept by public bodies as per the Ministerial Determination is done.In instances where there are gapsidentified on records kept by public bodies, these cases are recorded in an intervention registermaintained by the DPWI. Where there are persistent non-compliance which could not be resolved from interventions provided, such cases areescalatedto the Accounting Officers of public bodies for their attention and resolution.
(b)Through public body visits and site visits carried out by the Department, regular audits are done on participants lists on EPWP projects.In addition, the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure also undertakes audits through its internal audit unit.
(c)The EPWP Reporting System is linked to the National Population Register of the Department of Home Affairs with the ability to do real-time validations of participants ID Numbers. Furthermore, actual site visits are conducted by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure to verify project and participants information.
(d) In the EPWP Reporting System, there are validity checks that exist which compare the budget captured against expenditure on projects. Should there be any discrepancies such as when the expenditure on a project exceeds the budget, the discrepancy is flagged and shared with the public body for verification.
(e) In order to address non-compliance, various steps are taken by the Department. For projects funded through the Incentive Grant, withholding of the Incentive Grant is effected in the cases of non-compliance with the Division of Revenue Act (DoRA) conditions. Whilst for any other non-compliance picked during site visits and public body visits, Accounting Officers of public bodies are informed of such non-compliance and intervention is sought to remedy the matter.Where written escalation proves to be in-effective, face-to-face engagements are conducted with the Accounting Officers of non-compliant public bodies. If solutions cannot be reached at an administrative level, such cases are escalated to political principals for their intervention.

In instances where the houses are unoccupied, the maintenance is carried out to the external grounds and providing security for the properties. Houses being donated to other state institutions or NGOs are made habitable prior to donation.The houses are being made habitable on a need to need basis.

Graham-Maré, Ms SJ to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
(1) With reference to her statement during the Debate on Vote No 11 - Public Works and Infrastructure on 10 July 2019, what (a) are the criteria for the selection of the schools that will participate in the Mathematics and Science Programme, (b) is the duration of support for each school, (c) are the reasons that only 15 schools have been identified versus the 33 in the previous period and (d) number of learners from the participating schools have attended university and/or other higher educational institutions which can be attributed to the intervention of her department; (2) whether there is a standardised period for participation; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what criteria would extend or shorten the period of support?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
1. (a)The criteria for the selection of the schools that will participate in the Mathematics and Science Programme are as follows:
- Schools from disadvantaged communities (townships, farms, rural and informal settlements)
- Good academic performance in schools (with learner achievement of 60% and above in Mathematics and Physical Science).
- Schools with a potential to expand the provision of high quality Mathematics and Physical Science (teaching and learning).
- Schools displaying a commitment to succeed and can-do attitude.
(b)The duration of support for each school is five (5) years.
(c)The reasons that only 15 schools have been identified versus the 33 in the previous period (2013-2019)is that thedepartment has not yet finalised the process to adopt new schools in 2020. The 15 schools are continuing from previous years. Adoption of new schools is concluded by 30 April every year. Target over the 2020-2024 MTSF is 44 schools.
(d) The number of learners from the participating schools has attended university and/or other higher education institutions which can be attributed to the DPWI intervention is 234.
2. Yes, there is a standardised period of participation, which is five (5) years. The period can be shortened due to lack of commitment of the schools, dysfunctional structures which lead to non-achievement of Schools Programme annual targets.
