Basson, Ms J to ask the Minister of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation

What (a) is the total cost of the War On Leaks programme as at the latest date for which information is available and (b) number of students have been trained for the purposes of the programme; (2) whether any students have been placed to work in the water sector; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) of the more than R7 billion worth of water losses, what amount was saved as a result of the specified programme?

Reply:

(1) (a) A total of R3 022 978 951 was spent on the War on Leaks Programme over the five (5) financial years, from 2015/16 to 2019/20

(b) A total of 5520 students have completed their training; of these 4671 are water agents and 49 are artisans

(2) From the 10 469 recruited learners for both phases of the programme, a total of 7 762 learners have been placed for experiential training whilst 1 417 learners were lost through attrition. The Department is exploring options to place the 4 671 water agents by assigning them to regional bulk infrastructure projects to facilitate water conservation. Another consideration is to place them in water services infrastructure projects for advocacy, communication and basic leak detection.

(3) Despite the placements of water agents and artisans (most of whom obtained their experiential training with the private sector) the national average Non Revenue water is 41% with an estimated value of R9.9 billion. The involvement of the Ministry of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs as well as Water Service Authorities is essential in reducing the water losses

With reference to her reply to question 813 on 4 October 2019, (a) where is each of the 167 land parcels located and (b) what is the size of each land parcel?

Reply:

(a) & (b) Due to sensitivities around possible land invasions, the Department of Humans Settlements cannot publicise the location and the sizes of the 167 land parcels earmarked for release by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure. It is important to note that the properties have been prioritised for release and subsequent development for human settlement purposes at the request of various Municipalities, Provinces and the Housing Development Agency (HDA).

Basson, Ms J to ask the Minister of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation

Are there any plans in place to clean up the Hartbeespoort Dam; if not, why not; if so, (a) on what date will such plans commence, (b) what are the costs involved in the plan to clean up the dam and (c) what method will be used to clean up the dam?

Reply:

Yes, the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) successfully developed and implemented the Integrated Biological Remediation Plan for the Hartbeespoort dam (HDRP) from June 2006 to March 2016. The programme was halted from April 2016 to consider an alternative institutional model for long term implementation. It is anticipated that the date for the reinstatement of the HDRP will be in January 2020. The Department of Water and Sanitation intends to continue to engage Rand Water as the Implementing Agent based on the current available budget of R24 million. A decision to opt for the Fast Tracking option of the programme can be done after the confirmation of additional funding.

The Fast Tracking Option incorporates more intensified dam basin rehabilitation activities, as well as intensified catchment activities including:

  • Sediment removal & treatment
  • River shoreline and wetland rehabilitation
  • Upstream litter traps and treatment

This option was decided upon by DWS because a sustainable turning point would be attainable sooner and maintenance options would then be more cost effective in the long term.

The minimum ongoing Operation and Maintenance costing in the Business Plan (2016) was R30 million. An escalation of 33% was added for the last 3.5 years and the cost to date is R40 million. On the same basis, the costing for the Fast Tracking option to date is R69 million, and the Full Scale implementation and extension to other dams will be between R140 and R173 million. Amongst others, upstream catchment activities will include:

  • Public awareness and training;
  • Compliance and enforcement with the pilot development
  • Implementation of the Waste Discharge Charge System (WDCS) to recover cost from polluters.

The focus actions to implement the HDRP for the dam will include the following:

  • Biomass, Litter and Debris removal by physical and mechanical methods at 3 dedicated sites after wind concentration and containment. This includes a Litter & Debris trap at Crocodile River inlet.
  • Treatment of Biomass to produce organic fertilizer.
  • Food web restructuring to ensure a healthy and sustainable aquatic ecosystem in the dam, which entails the removal of the bottom feeding catfish and invasive exotic Carp, the construction and rehabilitation of wetlands, shoreline vegetation and functional floating wetlands.
  • The ongoing sediment removal (organic jelly layer) at the dam wall, and the implementation of sediment removal at the Crocodile River mouth, after the completion of the pilot dredging.
  • Implementation of river and in stream remediation and enforcement of the Operational Best Practices (OBPs).

(1)Whether, with reference to her reply to question 767 on 23 September 2019 wherein she stated that the matter of the delays and challenges in the Military Veterans programme will be on top of the agenda of the MinMec, each provincial Department of Human Settlements has accounted for funds not utilised for housing for military veterans in the 2018-19 financial year; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) what happened to the funds that were not expended at the end of the 2018-19 financial year?

Reply:

(1) Consistent with my reply to Question 767, the Military Veterans Housing Programme (MVHP) is a prominent feature on the agenda of MINMEC, where each province accounts for financial and non-financial performance of the Medium-Term Strategic Framework delivery objectives of the programme.

(2) It should be noted that the Military Veterans Housing Programme is funded from the Human Settlements Development Grant (HSDG). The funding that was not expended on houses for Military Veterans in the 2018/2019 financial year did not revert to the national fiscus as the same was reassigned to deliver other equally important human settlements opportunities such as serviced stands, affordable rental housing, the upgrading of informal settlements and so forth. Moreover, the Department ensured that the units which were not delivered but budgeted for in 2018/2019 were carried over to the 2019/20 financial year.

NW1890E

Reply:

The bulk of expenditure incurred by the Department for advertising is procured through Government Communication and Information Services (GCIS), in terms of Cabinet Memo 8 of 1998, therefore the Department is unable to provide a comprehensive list of services procured from black-owned media companies.

The difference, as listed in the table below, is procurement done in accordance with Government Supply Chain Management prescripts.

The Department incurred the following expenditure for advertising:

Gondwe, Dr M to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

How will his department ensure the seamless implementation of its modernisation programme, which depends largely on reliable and uninterrupted network connectivity, in the face of continued and recurring challenges with its network connectivity?

Reply:

As per recent engagement with SITA, the Core and Distribution (Switching Centres) Networks have to be included in the proposed DHA Strategy and Investment Plan for Uninterrupted Networks. As the inclusion of the Core and Distribution Networks would not only affect DHA alone but the whole of Government, SITA has committed to host a workshop with groups of departments based on the pressing needs per identified department.

Profile picture: De Freitas, Mr MS

De Freitas, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Tourism

With reference to the National Tourism Sector Strategy, what (a) risks have been identified that may lead to targets set not being achieved and (b)(i) steps are being taken to mitigate the situation and (ii) are the deadlines, milestones and timelines in this regard?

Reply:

a) With Reference to the NTSS what risks have been identified that may lead to non-achievement?

Tourism by its own nature operates in a highly volatile global environment and is susceptible to many external factors in both the macro - and microenvironment. Many of these factors often fall outside the primary / immediate control of a particular destination. Therefore, this requires continuous assessment and identification of risk factors associated with the implementation of the Strategy. Some of the potential risks that could affect successful implementation of the NTSS include:

  • Geopolitical factors e.g. BREXIT – United Kingdom is one of the leading international source markets for South Africa and its departure from the European Union has the potential to affect the performance and strength of its economy thereby jeopardising the disposable income of their citizens for travelling. Thus, economic challenges in the market countries affect travel decisions.
  • Climate change – South Africa is a semi-arid country and due to climate change, the country is experiencing currently some of severe weather patterns such as droughts (Eastern Cape and Western Cape, Northern Cape and certain areas of the Karoo) and floods (KwaZulu Natal and Eastern Cape) which have a negative bearing on tourism growth in terms of water supply and infrastructure sustainability.
  • Currency fluctuations – Though the weakening of the Rand against major global currencies has the potential to increase travel to South Africa it also limits South Africa’s budgetary resources to promote and market the country abroad.
  • Barriers to access due to air connectivity and visa processing – South Africa is viewed as a long haul destination with limited direct air connectivity particularly for the emerging markets for airlines to take up available routes/frequencies. There has been some visa processing challenges in certain markets, which makes difficult for more tourists to travel to South Africa. Innovation such as e-visa in such markets are poortunities presented by this risk in such markets.
  • Safety and security factors - On a domestic front, the vulnerability of the sector can be exacerbated by safety and security factors and perceptions.
  • Stagnating economy and affordability – South African economy continues to be under strain and growing below the desired growth levels to accelerate job creation. Therefore, many South Africans are faced with low disposable income to partake in domestic tourism activities.

b) (i) What steps are being taken to mitigate the situation

As part of the NTSS Implementation process, the Department of Tourism in collaboration with other role players continue to assess the risk factors and devise mitigating measures to cushion the sector through amongst others the following:

  • BREXIT – the Department through its entity SA Tourism has invested energy and effort to increase tourist numbers from the Asian markets in particular, China and India and simplification of visa processes from these markets. As stated during the budget speech, efforts are underway to position South Africa as a China and India friendly tourism destination through relevant Content-Reviewed Platforms and a comprehensive China and India readiness programme being developed in partnership with private sector, technological platforms will be used to tap into these markets.
  • Climate change – South Africa is a signatory to international conventions including the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) signed in 2016. In this regard, the country continues to promote responsible tourism practices including the promotion of sustainable development principles.
  • Currency fluctuations – Greater budgetary support for tourism agencies is required and measures are being applied / implemented to protect budgets from the negative impacts of currency fluctuations given their impact on marketing in foreign destinations.
  • Barriers to access due to air connectivity and visa processing – The Airports Company of South Africa (ACSA) and provinces through the Air Access Facilitation Programmes continue to lobby for increased air connectivity and direct flights from various markets including, the Americas, Africa and Asia. Additionally, the Department in partnership with other relevant stakeholders continues to engage various airlines to explore the possibility of establishing an air transport link between South Africa and some of the identified emerging markets such as India. The Department of Tourism and South African Tourism will continue to engage the relevant stakeholders in particular the Department of Home Affairs to facilitate visa processing as well as the implementation of visa waivers for certain markets.
  • Safety and security of tourists – The Department of Tourism in partnership with the South African Police Services and other role players including provinces and industry has developed the National Tourism Safety Strategy which identifies preventative, responsive and after-care measures to be implemented in the short, medium and long term to address tourism safety and security related matters, including perceptions.
  • Stagnating economy and affordability - South African Tourism will partner with established event owners and associations to drive awareness. In order to address affordability and drive sales, South African Tourism will partner with non-traditional distribution agents (e.g. retail supermarkets).

(ii) What are the deadlines, milestones and timelines in this regard?

The Department in collaboration with respective stakeholders is already implementing mitigation measures to counter some of the above-mentioned risks. At a broader strategy level, the National Tourism Sector Strategy (NTSS) identifies targets for 2020 and 2026 based on a 2015 baseline. Through the NTSS Implementation Mechanisms, the Department has established NTSS Implementation Work Streams, which are aligned to the five Strategic Pillars of the NTSS to identify actions for implementation in the immediate, medium and long term.

What measures is his department taking to assist the transgender community by speeding up the process of changing their sex designation legally?

Reply:

The Department has an Act (Act no. 49 of 2003) in place which administers issues relating to transgender. The Department further participates in committees coordinated by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development wherein gaps and other concerns identified by transgender communities are discussed and suggestions are made on how best transgender communities can be assisted.

Such meetings triggered a study tour for Government and Civil Society on transgender to learn how transgender community issues are managed in other countries. The Department has also embarked on awareness wherein all managers from its front offices were taken through transgender issues. This amongst others included the following:

- Contents of the Act and Regulations

- Process and requirements for transgender community

The Department has a dedicated unit in place that processes applications for transgender. The unit looks at the compliance and requirements as outlined in the Regulations and standard operating procedure prior to processing.

Successful applications which meet the requirements are processed within a period of 6 to 8 weeks. Non-compliance cases are responded to in a form of a letter to clients. The Department continues to hold dialogues with the transgender communities and is committed to improve on gaps identified either on the legislation or processes as part of continued development.

What measures has her department put in place to ensure that (a) the foot and mouth disease facility that was commissioned in 2010 and was to be finished in the 2015-16 financial year is completed to ensure that more vaccines are manufactured to help combat the outbreak of foot and mouth disease and (b) fencing, as one of the biosecurity measures, is implemented and monitored in all provinces, especially in rural areas, to prevent the spread of foot and mouth disease?

Reply:

(a) The ARC FMD Vaccine Project business plan outlined the following three key focus areas:

  1. Technology development for manufacture of FMD vaccine;
  2. Education and training to ensure appropriate skills for the operations of the manufacturing facility;
  3. Pilot scale and bioprocess development; and,
  4. Design and construction of the FMD vaccine production facility.

Below is a synopsis of the performance of the ARC on the main deliverables of the revised business plan

Since the financial year 2011/12, the following have been achieved:

a) ARC has developed the new GMP compliant suspension culture technology for the manufacture of FMD vaccine – for all virus strains circulating in Southern Africa;

b) At least 10 students were trained at the level of Bachelor of Science Honours degree, with further practical skills development on various aspects of vaccine manufacturing. Subsequently, 7 graduates have been employed by the ARC at the facility;

c) In terms of Process Development – Using suspension culture techniques, the ARC has successfully produced FMD vaccine at 20 litre scale. To date sufficient antigen has been produced to formulate 50 000 doses of vaccine for each of the three virus strains (SAT 1, 2 and 3). Clinical trials to determine immunity and efficacy have been conducted with each of the vaccine strains as well as combinations of the same strains. Assessments of longevity of immune responses continues.

d) On the basis of the outcome/s of the process development, the ARC initiated the design of the manufacturing facility. The design indicated a shortfall in the funds required to construct and complete the manufacturing facility. Consequently, the ARC requested additional funding from the Department/National Treasury in 2012. Unfortunately, there was a delay from National Treasury in responding to the request for additional funding towards completing the project.

e) National Treasury only allocated required funding towards a complete FMD vaccine manufacturing facility in financial year 2019/20 over the MTEF period.

f) Consequently, the ARC has resumed the process towards design and construction of the FMD vaccine manufacturing facility. This process will be in accordance with applicable environmental and municipal regulations. Appropriate procurement processes have now resumed towards ensuring appropriate construction companies could provide the service to ARC.

(b) Fences to achieve disease control purposes is provided for the in the Animal Diseases Act and have been a layer in the FMD control strategy for many years. The location of the current disease control fences, on the international border and around the Kruger National Park complex, are no longer in line with international standards of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). Whereas these fences were intended to provide a barrier between infected zones and adjacent communities in the protection zone, the OIE requires a physical barrier between the protection zone and the free zone. DAFF agrees with the technical soundness of this approach and has already started considering how and where such a fence or barrier will best be placed. Many factors must be taken into consideration, as the placement of this fence will determine the new demarcation of the FMD free zone. As far as possible, DAFF intends placing the line on existing barriers, including the boundaries of commercial farms and existing structures such as highways. Where the existing line cuts through communities, the future placement of a fence must be carefully considered as it will have far-reaching effects on rural communities. The line that demarcates the FMD free zone currently only involves the provinces of Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu Natal.

Reply:

a) Effective from 2018 for first time entering university students (FTENS) that qualify for the DHET Bursary (combined gross family income of R350 000 per annum), the learning materials allowance (sometimes referred to as a book allowance) was standardised and capped as follows:

2018 – R5 000

2019 – R5 000

For the DHET Grant continuing students (combined gross family income of R122 000 per annum and capped funding), the allowance amount was set at the institutional allowance in 2017 with an inflation linked increase annually, provided that the learning materials allowance does not exceed the DHET Bursary allowance amount of R5 000 for FTENS.

The above pertains to contact institutions. Allowances for students in distance education programmes are calculated based on the number of courses registered, up to a maximum of R5 000.

It should be noted that the learning materials allowance could be used for a range of learning support materials and not only traditional textbooks.

b) The table below outlines the total amount paid as learning support materials in each academic year.

In addition, the special maintenance of 33 km section between Kareedow and N2 I/C was completed in 2018. On the remaining section which is 85 km long the following projects have been prioritised by SANRAL:

a) 20 km of Reseal, and the plan is to:

  1. Advertise for construction in November 2020
  2. Award Tender by April 2021
  3. Hand Over Site to Contractor by May 2021

b) 65 km of Strengthening and/or Improvement, and the plan is to split this into two phases of 30km and another of 35km. The first phase will be implemented as follows:

  1. Advertise for construction in October 2021
  2. Award Tender by April 2022
  3. Hand Over Site by June 2022, and the second phase as soon as the first phase is completed.

(1)Whether she has found that (a) it would be just to allocate 15% of the profit to principal performers in accordance with clause 7.2.1 of the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) Freelance Contract and (b) principal performers are often a group of five or more individuals who have to share 2% of the profit; if not, what is the position in each case; if so, what are the relevant details in each case; (2) Whether actors have requested the specified 15% in terms of clause 7.2.1 of the SABC Freelance Contract through the SA Guild of Actors, which is the only representative organisation for actors in the Republic; if so, what are the relevant details? NW2751E

Reply:

I have been advised to by the SA Broadcasting Corporation as follows:

1a) It would not be justifiable to pay 15% if there was just one sale.

b) The 2% is paid when there is no prior agreement in place, this percentage has now been increased to 5% for productions on the Encore channel.

2) The SABC has no knowledge of actors requesting 15%.

What (a) amount was budgeted for the Ibika Campus of the Walter Sisulu University for student accommodation in the 2017-18 financial year and (b) is the status of accommodation for students at the specified campus in Butterworth?

Reply:

a) The Department of Higher Education and Training allocated an amount of R100 million to Walter Sisulu University (WSU) during the fourth Infrastructure and Efficiency Grant funding cycle (2015/16 to 2017/18). Allocations were given for infrastructure projects on the Queenstown, Ibika-Butterworth and Nelson Mandela Drive Campuses. R82 million was budgeted for the construction of a new 200-bed student residence at the Ibika Campus. However, due to the dire shortage of student beds at the Ibika Campus, WSU made the decision to utilise the available funds as equity to raise additional funding through a loan from the Development Bank of Southern Africa to support the development of a 500-bed student residence. The new 500-bed student residence project is currently in the planning stage and will commence once the funds have been confirmed, and all processes have been finalised.

b) The total student population at the Ibika Campus is 6 586 students. The University has 898 beds on the campus and 1 976 accredited off campus private accommodation beds. Most of the unaccredited private accommodation in the area does not meet the Department’s Minimum Norms and Standards for student housing at public universities.

Whether, since he assumed office in May 2019, he has had any engagement and/or interaction with SA National Roads Agency SOC Ltd regarding the sinkholes on the N12 in Matlosana Local Municipality, Stilfontein; if not, why not; if so, what (a) were the outcomes of such engagement(s) and (b) action steps have been decided upon?

Reply:

1. No the Minister has not had any engagements with SANRAL on the sinkholes on the N12, in Matlosana Local Municipality, Stilfontein.

2. This matter is currently being handled by SANRAL directly with the Matlosana Local Municipality and has not been escalated to the Minister or the Department.

3. The sinkhole in question straddles land owned by SANRAL and that owned by the Matlosana Local Municipality, emanating from a water pipe damage. Matlosana Municipality is responsible for the repair and relocation of the waterpipe and the restoration of the sinkhole that is located on its land and SANRAL is responsible for repairs on its land. SANRAL and Matlosana Local Municipality have agreed to execute the repairs jointly. The total cost is estimated at some R37m, but the municipality is not able to contribute its part to cover this cost. SANRAL has appointed consultants who are currently finalising the designs for the required works. The Municipality has indicated that it has applied for disaster relief funding but has not received approval yet. The MOU for the execution of the works has been drafted and is awaiting confirmation of the funding availability on the municipality’s side before signature.

4. Funding support for the municipality would greatly assist, as it would enable the sinkhole rehabilitation project to begin. SANRAL does not have jurisdiction to spend funds in areas outside of declared national roads or in mainline water projects.

The Department has successfully rolled out the Remand Detention module with Biometrics (fingerprints, facial and Iris) to seven (7) sites, and will continue with the remaining sites as per annual performance plan (APP) and this will cover 60% of the Remand Detention Offenders information on IIMS with proper identification and verification.

With reference to determining net profit of a commercial script, why does the SA Broadcasting Corporation insist on deducting fees paid to contract writers as if it is a royalty fee paid to a copyright owner?

Reply:

I have been advised by the SA Broadcasting Corporation as follows:

The fees received by Script Writers are contract fees for the writing of the scripts, not “royalties” as the writers are commissioned to produce an SABC owned script. However, the writer’s fee is currently deducted from the sales amount when calculating the producer’s portion as part of the administrative process. However, the SABC is reviewing its TV Script Writer’s Agreement and is re-looking the term “royalties” in the Agreement.

INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 31 OF 2019Ms H S Winkler to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology

What (a) amount does the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) allocate to each individual student for text books in each year, (b) is the total annual amount for each academic year since 1 January 2016 respectively that had been allocated by NSFAS nationally for text books for students and (c) is the projected amount allocated for text books for students by NSFAS for the 2020 academic year?

Reply:

a) Effective from 2018 for first time entering university students (FTENS) that qualify for the DHET Bursary (combined gross family income of R350 000 per annum), the learning materials allowance (sometimes referred to as a book allowance) was standardised and capped as follows:

2018 – R5 000

2019 – R5 000

For the DHET Grant continuing students (combined gross family income of R122 000 per annum and capped funding), the allowance amount was set at the institutional allowance in 2017 with an inflation linked increase annually, provided that the learning materials allowance does not exceed the DHET Bursary allowance amount of R5 000 for FTENS.

The above pertains to contact institutions. Allowances for students in distance education programmes are calculated based on the number of courses registered, up to a maximum of R5 000.

It should be noted that the learning materials allowance could be used for a range of learning support materials and not only traditional textbooks.

b) The table below outlines the total amount paid as learning support materials in each academic year.

Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Tourism

(1) What structures have been put in place to attract the local tourists in order to boost local tourism? (2) what capacity building and skills development programmes exist for capacitating the district and local government officials about tourism strategies; (3) whether her department has mechanisms put in place to reach the rural areas for the purpose of involving persons in rural communities in the tourism space; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

1. What structures have been put in place to attract the local tourists in order to boost local tourism?

The Department hosts the Domestic Tourism Steering Committee, a national structure which seeks to promote domestic tourism accross all provinces. Provincial departments responsible for tourism and their respective tourism marketing agencies represent provinces to ensure a localised input into developing an annual domestic tourism campaign aligned to World Tourism Month. Other departments and key stakeholders also form part of the committee; e.g. Department of Sports, Arts and Culture; Brand SA and the private sector represented by Tourism Business Council of South Africa.

The committee seeks to draw up a national calendar of events designed to drive domestic tourism with a focus on geographic spread.

2. What capacity building and skills development programmes exist for capacitating the district and local government officials about tourism strategies;

The Department has a few programmes to capacitate the district and local government officials.

Firstly the Local Government Tourism Peer Learning Network: This is a platform for a dialogue by Tourism/ Local Economic Development and Development Planning Practitioners from various municipalities within a province. The dialogue is on a range of topics, such as tourism development models, policies, research studies conducted, and trending tourism topical issues. This platform is also used for identification of areas of intervention, norms and standards, and guidelines for tourism development within local government sector.

Secondly the Tourism Capacity building programme workshops also include district and local government officials. The main purpose of this annual initiative is to provide an integrated approach on capacity building for the public sector and community members within the selected municipalities, and to create a platform for stakeholder engagement and information sharing. Through needs analysis a programme is developed to assist local government officials.

Thirdly, the department has conducted training for tourism and Local Economic Development (LED) officials on the Destination Planning Manual and Tourism Precinct Development Methodology in 2018/19 amongst others. The purpose of this capacity building process was to institutionalise tourism development planning tools at these critical levels, with a view to infuse an understanding of integrated tourism planning as well as easy-to-use planning tools, which local government planners may apply in their day-to-day tourism planning programmes.

3. Whether her department has mechanisms put in place to reach the rural areas for the purpose of involving persons in rural communities in the tourism space; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

The implementation of tourism spatial master plans is focused on socio-economically depressed regions, which encompass rural areas, villages, townships, and small towns.

The 2018/19 ownership and operating model for accommodation and tourism related products provides a sustainable tool to empower rural communities in both the ownership and management aspects of operating existing tourism related offerings and/or product. This is especially the case where land has been restored for ownership by communities, that present opportunities for tourism development.

Further, the 2019-2021 development, piloting and implementation of the budget resort network and brand, aims to reinforce the preceding process by opening such “franchise” to products that are concessioned state owned, community owned, and privately owned, as well as offer members a range of benefits and shared services, and outline expectations and set standards for quality and services.

Rural communities are set to benefit as follows

(i) optimal development of tourism potential on restored land, or land identified by municipalities;

(ii) reduced marketing, design and other costs;

(iii) optimal marketing, and access to targeted markets; and

(iv) properly managed and frequented products.

The Department coordinates and facilitate a platform namely “Tourism Information Sharing Session” in rural municipalities and provinces, where the department and other relevant stakeholders within the tourism value chain communicate their priorities, planned projects and programmes for various tourism beneficiaries. In turn the “Tourism Information Sharing Session enable better planning, coordinated and aligned tourism policies, projects, programmes and in the three spheres of government and other developmental entities or agencies of government.

  • Operate, maintain, and monitor/manage Water Treatment Works and Wastewater Treatment Works,
  • Operate and Maintain Bulk Distribution Infrastructure and Storage Reservoirs

The district municipality has also appointed one of the Water Boards to build a new bulk infrastructure project (the Skhemelele Water Supply Intervention) on behalf of the UMkhanyakude District Municipality.

The scope of the two aforementioned projects are totally different in nature. One entity has been contracted to undertake operations and maintenance and the other entity is employed to construct new bulk infrastructure.

Further, uMkhanyakude District Municipality advised that neither of the two entities has failed in carrying out its obligations in terms of the contract and scope of work agreed to by the contracting parties.

However, should the Honourable Member be in possession of information contrary to the above, please share it with my office or the office of the Minister of Corporative Governance and Traditional Affairs.

Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

Whether he (a) has engaged the President to pardon Fees Must Fall activist, Mr Khanya Cekeshe; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what is the status of the process of pardoning Mr Khanya Cekeshe?

Reply:

No, in order to properly advise the President regarding a possible pardon in Mr Cekeshe’s case, a thorough and comprehensive evaluation is necessary to ensure that the President makes a rational decision with all relevant facts considered. Mr Cekeshe, like any other Fees Must Fall activists, was informed of the process he is required to follow to apply and submit a request for pardon.

Mr Cekeshe has chosen to exercise his legal right to appeal his conviction. This effectively means, he and his legal team believe that a different court could arrive at different conclusion. In other words, he believes that a different court could overturn his conviction. As such it is impermissible for one to engage in the process which speak to pardons. In order for one to invoke a pardon one must have completed the court process, a judicial process cannot run along aside the pardon process.

Tarabella - Marchesi, Ms NI to ask the Minister of Basic Education

(1)With reference to her reply to question 1033 on 4 November 2019, what are the details of the procedure that needs to be followed by parents to (a) have their children opt out of comprehensive sexuality education and (b) submit an alternative curriculum that is approved in accordance with the requirements of the Curriculum Assesment Policy Statement (CAPS); (2) whether any parents have used the opt-out option since the inception of the revised Life Orientation curriculum; if so, (a) what number of learners have opted out and (b) what alternative CAPS-approved curriculums are the learners following?

Reply:

1.  (a) and (b)

The response to Question 1033 is not to be interpreted that parents may opt out of sections of the CAPS curriculum. The response in fact suggests that parents have the right to choose where they send their children to school. At any point a parent can opt out of the CAPS curriculum by seeking another curriculum like Cambridge or the IEB. The CAPS is not a modular curriculum where parents or learners may choose which parts to participate in. If parents choose the CAPS, Life Orientation (with CSE) is part of the curriculum, and has been since 2000.

2. (a) and (b)

The Life Orientation curriculum has not been revised.

Profile picture: Wessels, Mr W

Wessels, Mr W to ask the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture

(1). Whether, with reference to the reply to question 1582 on 18 June 2018, all National Departments, Public Entities and Public Enterprises as described in the act are now complying with the implementation of the Use of Official Languages Act, Act 12 of 2012; if not, (a) why not and (b) what is his department is doing to ensure compliance; (2). whether all National Departments, Public Entities and Public Enterprises report annually to (a) him and (b) the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) on progress made with the implementation of their respective language policies and language units as required in terms of Sections 7 and 9 of the Act; if not, (i) why not and (ii) what is his department doing to ensure compliance; (3). whether his department tables an annual report to parliament on progress made in this regard as required by Section 12 of the Act; if not, why not; (4). whether he has found that all provinces have adopted and effectively implemented language policies in accordance with their provincial languages acts; if not, what is his department doing to ensure compliance and; (5). whether he will make a statement on the matter? CW114E

Reply:

1. Not all National Departments, National Public Entities and National Public Enterprises are complying with the Use of Official Languages Act 12 of 2012. Very few are complying, the main area where compliance is satisfactorily noted in some departments and entities is with regard to language policies. There is little progress with regard to the establishment of language units

(a).Reasons cited mostly for non-compliance range from inadequate funding and a need to be guided and taken through the processes, a task which was carried out by Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) in February 2019.

(b).PanSALB will continue to monitor the implementation of the Act to ensure compliance.

2. Not all national departments, national public entities and national public enterprises are reporting annually. PanSALB have scheduled public hearings for all to come and report on progress.

3. Yes, the report is tabled annually and this will happen when the annual report has been compiled at the end of the financial year.

4. Not all provinces have adopted and effectively implemented their language policies in accordance with their Provincial Language Acts. PanSALB has commissioned provincial offices to monitor and conduct an audit in this regard so as to identify areas where assistance is required. Once this audit is finalized, provinces will be offered individual assistance in a bid to ensure implementation and compliance.

5.Yes, the Minister will make a statement after the public hearings or monitoring sessions that PanSALB will conduct with all National Departments, National Public Entities and National Public Enterprises.

Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

Whether he has held any discussion with the National Prosecuting Authority on the desirability of prosecuting persons who fought for free quality education for all under the #FeesMustFall movement, in view of the fact that many of its activists are either in jail or still attending court cases?

Reply:

No, I have not discussed the matter with the National Director of Public Prosecutions nor indeed, with any member of the National Prosecution Authority. The prosecution of persons falls in the sole mandate of the National Prosecution Authority in terms of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, as well as the National Prosecuting Authority Act, 1998.

The National Prosecuting Authority without fear, favor or prejudice and it will be inappropriate for me to discuss any specific matters with the prosecution. My interface with the National Prosecuting Authority is in the context of ensuring that it functions efficiently.

The Honourable Member refers to “many activists in jail or attending court cases” I am only aware of one activist who was sentenced to imprisonment in a correctional facility and two activists attending court cases.
