The attached Annexure 1 indicates detailed information as requested. It should be noted that the Minister has a prerogative to delegate to the Deputy Minister any trip or invitation he is not in a position to honour.

With regards to cost implications to the trips, it is not possible to provide such information only until the logistical arrangements are done. It must also be noted that not all the trips indicated are funded from the State, but are sponsored by the relevant host governments and/or organisations.

I have been advised by SABC as follows:

1. Yes, the Freelance Contract for Performers of 27 August 1997 between the SABC and actors is indeed the final, legal and binding contract.
2. No, production companies are not altering contracts at will, however, should any alterations be required those will be effected after agreement between the SABC and affected company. 
3. No alternations may be made without the SABC’s consent. The SABC issues the performers’ agreement and advises specifically that clauses 5 and 7 cannot be altered without prior approval of the SABC. [Clause 5 and 7 are attached]
4. The payment of actors is prescribed in clause 7 of the Agreement in question. The SABC is merely adhering to the percentages set out in the agreement.
5. There is no new agreement in place and the SABC is complying with the stipulated payment of 2%. The SABC can enter into new negotiations but it would have to be with all representatives in the Industry and not only with SAGA.

I have been advised by the SITA as follows:

 

(a) The rationale was to afford new service providers an opportunity to respond to the bid, new brands to be added and afford an opportunity to existing service providers to add additional provinces to their offerings.

Secondly, to get Government volume discount from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and to support the transformation in the ICT sector by developing existing and new suppliers/partners through training, certification, accreditation and SMME incubation. This includes skills transfer to partners/resellers to build skills base in the ICT sector.

(b) RFB 2007/2015 was published through an open market on 04 December 2015. The bid was published in the following platforms:

• Government Tender Bulletin
• National Treasury portal
• SITA Website

In terms of the Treasury Regulations, bids are published in Government Tender Bulletin and in any other media. So SITA website was used as an additional media for advertisement.

(c) The bid was published on 04 December 2015 and closed on 29 January 2016 and the advertisement was prior to the annual closure period. The Vendor Briefing Session was held on 10 December 2015. The minimum period for advertisement of bids is 21 days and the bid was published for more than 21 days.

(d) SCM received a tasking from the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) on the 13 November 2014. SITA embarked on extensive stakeholder consultations to ensure the strategic approach of economic transformation was all encompassing, which resulted in a delay in publishing the bid. The specification was developed by SITA and approved by DPSA. An open tender process was used for sourcing the required solution. A competitive bidding process allowed bidders in the market to participate and compete fairly.

(e) (i) and (ii) A detailed list of accredited suppliers per province and brand is attached as Annexure A

(iii) SITA evaluated RFB 2007/2015 as follows:

• Screening of mandatory documents
• Technical Evaluation
• Mandatory Requirements
• Price Evaluation/Mark up %

The elicit economy is a continuously changing landscape and a function of the overall levels of societal and tax compliance.

SARS is in the process of conducting scientific and evidence-based research to quantify the size of the illicit economy for South Africa and as such there is no official position yet on the size of the illicit economy. The study also seeks to identify, quantify illicit/illegal activities taking place in both the formal and informal economy. The study will further involve identifying, locating, understanding, registering, managing and monitoring illicit businesses in their different forms and sizes in the illicit economy.

The illicit economy ranges from the underground economy, which operates outside of the rules and regulations of the country, to organised crime. It involves money, goods or value gained from illegal and generally unethical activity. The activities and/or transactions that occur in the underground economy are illegal for various reasons. Transactions in the underground economy are illegal either because the good or service being traded is illegal or because an otherwise licit transaction does not comply with government reporting requirements. People who work in the underground economy do not declare their incomes. In other words, the tax authorities have no official records of their activities or transactions. These activities generate a wide range of economic, social, environmental or political harms and contribute to the tax gap.

(a) The outcome of the comprehensive research will assist in determining the size of each illegal trading item. In the absence of SARS own research findings, It is difficult

to put a value to the illicit economy. The research studies, which commenced in November 2018, are expected to be completed by March 2020.

(b) In line with the overall SARS strategy of discouraging non-compliance (and incentivizing good behavior) through education and/or enforcement action as executed by its Enforcement divisions, and in recognition of the need for alternative enforcement responses to non-compliance within the illicit economy, SARS established an interim capability to conduct investigations into the illicit economy. The capability executes integrated enforcement investigations and comprises of multi-disciplinary and collaborative investigations and enforcement debt recovery actions, supported by legal experts and data analytics. The tax and customs legislation administered by the Commissioner for SARS (for example, the Tax Administration Act, 2011) governs the conduct of all units within SARS.

The health system strengthening initiatives were implement in the NHI pilot districts. There initiatives were funded through conditional grants. The grant funding related to the following activities:

The ward based primary healthcare outreach teams which were responsible for the provision of primary healthcare to families/households; community outreach services; preventative, promotive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative services.

The Integrated school health programme focused on screening of health-related barriers to learning such as vision, hearing, cognitive, and related developmental impairments.

General Practitioners and Pharmacy Assistants were contracted to primary care facilities to support clinics in service delivery.

The ideal clinic realisation model was introduced in response to the existing insufficiencies in quality of PHC services and to lay the foundation for NHI implementation.

The centralized chronic medicines dispensing and distribution model involves the centralized dispensing of medicines for chronic stable patients and the collection of the medicine at a point close to patients,

The purpose of the health patient registration system is to serve as an online registry of all patients using healthcare services in South Africa that can be accessed at any facility to provide health workers with patients’ demographic information and their most up-to-date health records.

The stock visibility system is used in PHC clinics to monitor and report on stock availability levels for essential medicines like ARVs, TB medication and vaccines. The purpose of the SVS is to enable more informed decision-making and proactive stock management at the PHC facility level.

The infrastructure grant was intended to fund nursing college infrastructure as well as the maintenance, repair and construction of primary care facilities

A patent allows the pharmaceutical manufacturer an exclusivity over the sale of a medicine. During this time the manufacturer price is very high and unaffordable to low and middle income countries. Companies argue that the high prices are intended to recoup their costs of research and development, however these companies have been reluctant to be transparent about such costs. There is much evidence to suggest that the cost of research and development is actually much lower than claims made by the pharmaceutical industry.

South Africa has been at the forefront of challenging the high prices of medicines globally including where patents are the barrier to access. There currently are legislative provisions which would allow us to access a medicine that is protected by a patent. These provisions are included in Section 15C of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act, 1965 (Act No. 101 of 1965). It is important to bear in mind that in order for one to access medicines using Section 15C, such a medicine must first be registered by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) in terms of efficacy, safety and quality. SAHPRA will consider an application of a generic even while a patent remains in effect. So the provisions to address patent barriers already exist in South Africa however a product must be registered by SAHPRA before we can implement such a provision.

South Africa has never had to use the patent legislation to access a lower priced generic medicine. The patent holders have in many cases negotiated either through bilateral agreements or have participated in the Medicines Patent Pool which provides manufacturers in developing countries like South Africa access lower cost generic antiretroviral (ARV) drugs at an affordable price. This has allowed us to afford the world’s largest ARV programme.

The payment of import or excise duties is based on national policy

determined by the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti), as well as on

international trade instruments to which South Africa is a signatory. Robust

methodologies are followed to ensure that all commodities are classified

correctly, and that the South African Revenue Service collects the correct

amount of revenue due to the state. Accordingly, the payment of import or

excise duties is based on a tariff rate applicable to a specific commodity as

determined by the dti.

(a)(b)(i)(ii) In the case of the import and/or production of electric vehicles, Ordinary

Customs Duties on importation and Ad Valorem Excise duties, payment of

duties based on the customs value of the imported goods, levied by

government are applicable. There are no other additional taxes payable on

electric vehicles. All Vehicles are classified in Chapter 87 of Schedule 1 of

the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964. The rates of duty on electric

vehicles range

between 0% and 25%.

It is worth noting that there is no differentiation between the treatment of the conventional fuel combustion and electric vehicles with regards to applicable Customs procedures, the rates and tax-types levied during importation or manufacturing locally, for as long as the vehicles belong to the same categories (that is, whether it’s a bus, truck, ordinary passenger vehicle, etc.).

However, because SARS administer Ad Valorem Excise duties, which considers both weight and value, the mass of the vehicle will invariably impact on the rate of the duty applicable. Thus, smaller cars may attract smaller rates of duty, although the value may be a differentiating factor if such a smaller vehicle is much more expensive. For an example, an electric passenger vehicle and fuel combustion engine passenger vehicle will attract the same rate of duty or excise if the two are of the same mass and value.

The Minister and Deputy Minister of Social Development attend a number of international meetings carrying out various obligations representing South Africa and the carrying pout the mandate of the department. These could be bilateral or multilateral in nature, i.e. at the Southern African Development Community (SADC) regional level; African Union/ continental level, at a BRICS or even United Nations Level amongst others.

These meetings do not all have pre-determined dates and the Ministry responds to these based on their strategic nature towards the fulfilment of the DSD mandate and carrying out the national agenda.

The purpose of each of these meeting s also differ with the associated themes but are aligned with the mandate of the Department. The Ministry adheres to stick financial behaviour in line with the National Treasury regulations and prescripts when determining the delegations to such meetings and is thus prudent on all related costs thereto.
