Groenewald, Mr HB to ask the Minister of Small Business Development

With reference to the reply of the Minister of Public Service and Administration to question 3797 on 21 December 2018, what was the total expenditure incurred by her department relating to the travel privileges contained in the 2007 Ministerial Handbook of former (a)(i) Ministers and (ii) their spouses, (b)(i) Deputy Ministers and (ii) their spouses, (c) Ministers’ widows or widowers and (d) Deputy Ministers’ widows or widowers (i) in each of the past five financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2018?

Reply:

In line with the 2007 Ministerial Handbook, all travel privileges for former Members of Parliament are administered and paid for by Parliament. I am therefore not aware of any provision in the 2007 Ministerial Handbook which caters for Departments to incur travel expenditure for former Ministers and their spouses, Deputy Ministers and their spouses, Ministers’ widows or widowers and Deputy Ministers’ widows or widowers.

(a) What are the reasons that informed the decision of the Department of Military Veterans to withdraw participation and financial support to an SAS Mendi memorial service in Cape Town by the Gunners Association and (b) what is her official position regarding this decision and the reasons advanced for the withdrawal of support?

Reply:

a) The Department of Military Veterans supports all military veterans associations as represented in the South African National Military Veterans Association (SANMVA). The Gunners Association is represented by the Council of Military Veterans Organisation (CMVO) which is part of SANMVA, and therefore has not withdrawn any support.

b) The Ministry of Defence and Military Veteran has not withdrawn any support and therefore there are no reasons to specify.

What (a) number of privately owned game farms are there in the country; and (b) is the (i) location, (ii) size and (iii) Rand value of each game farm?

Reply:

a) The Department is responsible for the maintenance of the Register of Protected Areas. The Register has 934 Nature Reserves that are privately owned, totaling 1.91 million ha. Game Farms are not a type of protected area according to the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, 2003, and are therefore not captured as such. Game Farms are, in the main, covered within the mandate of DAFF, and further information in this regard should be requested from DAFF.

b) (i)(ii) The Department has not conducted any assessment to ascertain the number, location and average size of privately-owned game farms in the country. However, according to the research conducted by ABSA in 2013 it was found that commercial/private wildlife ranches covered 16.8% of the country's landmass, covering approximately 20,5 million hectare encompassing just over 9000 wildlife ranches.

More information can be obtained from the research conducted in 2001 to determine the extent or the footprint of game farming in the country. According to this research it was estimated that there were 5,061 wildlife ranches in South Africa covering an area of 103,642 km2 (Bothma, 2005). The Limpopo province contained 2,482 of these wildlife ranches covering an area of 33,257 km2 (Bothma, 2005). Limpopo dominates, with 50% of ranches; Northern Cape - 20%; Eastern Cape - 12%; and other remaining Provinces - 18%.

(iii) The Department has not undertaken an exercise to determine the Rand value of each game farm in the country. However, the Rand value of each game farm depends on the amount invested towards acquiring land possessing conducive ecological infrastructure to support game animals and the size, the quality, type and size of game fence, number of game species and animals in the farm, existing infrastructural developments such as water reticulation, accommodation, roadways, permits and the ability to attract the targeted market. In view of this, the Rand value of each game farm can only be determined on a case by case basis.

Nyambi, Ms HV to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs

With reference to the recent expansion of marine protected areas to restore biodiversity and ecological wellbeing of the marine life, (a) what are the main benefits derived from supporting the ecosystems and (b) how will the expansion contribute to fishery sustainability in the country?

Reply:

(a) The main benefits arising from the new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are:

  • More resilient ecosystems. This means that widespread anthropogenic impacts such as climate change,ocean pollution and fishing will have less of an impact on our ocean resources;
  • Protected marine species such as whales and turtles are still very vulnerable to habitat loss and human disturbance. Marine protected areas (MPAs) will serve as refuges for these organisms and others alike. This is particularly important during periods of breeding activity;
  • Opportunities for eco-tourism on popular species like whales, seals, sharks, turtles and seabirds, are significantly enhanced in MPAs in two ways: firstly, there are generally higher numbers of these species in protected areas and secondly, the public and tourists want to see them in their natural environments (like seeing an Elephant or Lion in a National Park, and not in a cage in a zoo). Marine eco-tourism is a growing multi-billion rand Industry and supports thousands of jobs;
  • Protecting marine genetic resources (including those of species which we still do not know about). However, we do explore these areas which are biodiversity-rich or otherwise important or unique. Some of these species found there have already been shown to have importance in medicine, such as anti cancer compounds, with biodiscovery into their uses still continuing; and
  • Development of industrial activities outside MPAs (the vast majority of the ocean) can proceed with more confidence in the knowledge that good examples of the habitat (which may be impacted by development) are being protected within these areas. This does not exclude proper environmental management for all activities.

(b) The expansion of the Marine Protected Areas will contribute to fishery sustainability through:

  • Protection of areas where fish congregate to breed so that successful breeding can improve fish stock numbers. Fish stock numbers are improved not only in the MPA, but also outside of it by the drift of fish eggs and larvae, as well as young fish migrations. These fish are then available to be caught outside of the MPA, thus enhancing the sustainability of commercial resources. A South African case study published in the top scientific journal, nature showed that this process indeed resulted in increased catch rates by fishers outside of the MPA;
  • Recovery of stocks which are currently being over-exploited can occur more rapidly within MPAs, allowing certain fisheries to become sustainable once again;
  • Protection and sustainability of key sea-bed habitat features such as coral reefs, some of which are important breeding or nursery grounds and would otherwise be impacted by activities such as trawling. International consumer and industry certification programmes recognise the importance of protected areas for sustainable fisheries. This certification is in fact a requirement for export to an increasing number of markets, and also results in good prices;
  • Maintenance of biological and genetic traits of fish species (associated with ecosystem resilience) enhances sustainability;
  • Some species of fish grow very slowly and are long-lived. Without the protection of MPAs, it is unlikely that fishlings of long-lived species would reach maturity. Without marine protected areas, these species are likely to become extinct. This includes some commercial fish species;
  • Most of the new MPAs are designed with flexibility in mind, and allow fishing activities that have little impact on the main purpose of protection within the protected area. This includes a number of small-scale, recreational and commercial fishing activities that are allowed in different parts of most MPAs. These areas are called controlled zones, and the MPA regulations set out the activities allowed within these controlled zones. In restricted zones, it is generally only non-consumptive (ecotourism) activities that are allowed; and
  • Activities such as mining are not allowed anywhere in MPAs, giving the Fishing Industry greater protection from the impacts of such activities, and thus also promoting sustainability.

Khubisa, Mr NM to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs

With reference to the climate change and constant changing weather conditions, particularly in the uMkhanyakude district and other rural communities where there have been reports of persons dying due to thunderstorms, what is her Department, together with the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, doing to deal with the situation?

Reply:

South African Weather Service (SAWS) has a close and active relationship with South Africa’s disaster management structures at all levels. SAWS participates in the quarterly local, district and provincial disaster management forum meetings, which include, among others, the uMkhanyakude District Municipality. At these meetings a seven-day outlook on the expected weather is usually presented, as well as longer seasonal (one to three months) predictions. The last uMkhanyakude disaster meeting forum was held on 7 February 2019.

In addition, SAWS also conducts awareness campaigns in the rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal Province. SAWS also issues different categories of weather warnings in the province through different media platforms, including SMSs and radio, e.g. Ukhozi FM. The recent severe weather event on 23 February 2019 caused considerable hardship to the northern part of the Province. For this event, severe weather was foreseen using model predictions and weather radar observations; and warnings were issued to the media, including community radio stations, and through SMSs. This specific event is being investigated in detail as a special case study. In this manner SAWS is constantly improving its understanding of such storms and their impacts in order to improve its services and warnings.

With reference to the outcomes of the engagement with the creative industry with the theme Leveraging on digital platforms for Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) creatives, which focused on the fourth industrial revolution, broadcasting, audio-visual and new platforms which was held on 22 February 2019, (a) what has been derived from the engagements towards optimising the broadcasting, audio-visual and creative industries and (b) what are the priority areas for immediate implementation?

Reply:

I have been advised by the Departments as follows:-

a) The Communications Ministry was able to assess the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) on the creative sector, and within the broadcasting and audio-visual sector.

Together with the creative industries, the Ministry developed formal stakeholder platforms towards the transformation of the creative industry.

The participants agreed that Government should engage stakeholders and Parliament on the Copyright Amendment Bill; development of the Media Transformation Charter; engage broadcasters in an endeavour to curb exploitation of small and independent producers; and ensure that content owners duly benefit from their content being used on online platforms.

b) In line with developing a multi-stakeholder collaborative effort aimed at building a capable 4IR Army; we will are forming partnerships with various stakeholders to train youth focusing on the digital skills required for the 4IR

We are also engaging Broadcasters as an endeavour to curb exploitation of small and independent producers and ensure that content owners duly benefit from their content being used on online platforms; and the Ministry of Trade and Industry on the Copyright Amendment Bill concerns raised by Broadcasters and Producers to strike the correct balance. This will also address the inefficiencies in policy and regulation to provide a conducive environment for the creative sector. It will also include the Departments of Arts and Culture, and Small Business Development.

Alongside the above, we will continue engaging online platforms such as Google to ensure that content owners duly benefit from their content being on online platforms;

In the next financial year 2019/20, we will commence the necessary work towards the development of a Media Transformation Charter.

During 2019/20, we will continue engaging the creative sector through 4IR thought leadership sessions and ensure inclusivity by inviting more young people to future engagements.

Reply:

(1) The Honourable Member would be aware that the question he is asking is already in the public domain including the communication between my lawyers and the Judicial Commission of Inquiry c haired by Deputy Chief Justice Zondo. The Commission has also been on record to advise that the individuals who are somehow implicated by certain witnesses at the said inquiry would also be given an opportunity to testify and or to give their own account of events. The Honuorable Member is therefore advised to be patient until that particular opportunity surfaces.

(2) This particular question is also likely to form part of the evidence at the said inquiry.

Reply:

(1) (a), (b), (c) (i) and (ii) and (d) The Honourable Member should note that school infrastructure is primarily the responsibility of provincial government, and in this case the implementing body would be the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development. It would therefore be best to channel the question through the provincial legislature, as PubIic Works is a concurrent mandate in terms of Schedule 4 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. 106 of 1996). MECs and their respective departments account for their programmes to the provincial legislature, as well as the National Council of Provinces.

Reply:

I have been advised by the Department as follows:

1. Yes, the Board has implemented the recommendations of Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee on the SABC Board Inquiry.

Of the twenty four (24) recommendations that ought to have been implemented, twelve have been successfully implemented by both the Interim and successive Boards. Twelve (12) of the recommendations are in progress due to:

  • SIU investigations that are still ongoing;
  • Pending civil litigation to declare irregularly awarded contracts unlawful and invalid;
  • Recovery of monies due to the SABC; and
  • Consultation between SABC management and organized labour on the review of policies and performance management.

The SABC is in constant contact with the Auditor General’s office to address all its findings relating to irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure.

2. The SIU and the SABC’s Internal Audit conducted forensic investigations into irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure incurred during the period 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2017.

As a result of these investigations, court proceedings on the following companies are underway:

Infornomix;

Mott McDonald;

Asante Sante;

Foxton Communications (Pty) Ltd; and

Lesaf Consulting.

The Board instituted legal action to recover monies from Messrs Motsoeneng and Aguma which they appear to have received irregularly, and recommended the consideration of the institution of criminal charges against these employees who allegedly participated in criminal activities. Both pension pay-outs of Messrs Motsoeneng and Aguma have been withheld pending the finalization of legal processes. Further, a number of legal proceedings have been instituted against companies whose contracts were irregularly awarded. These include:

Lorna Vision;

Sekela Xabiso;

Vision View;

Infornomix; and

Mott McDonald.

Legal proceedings have also been instituted against the following former employees who made and/or permitted irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure:

Mr Motsoeneng: The SABC withheld his pension pay-out while legal process is underway. Summons has been issued for R21 million against Mr Motsoeneng for damages and losses with regards to the success fee.

Ms B Tugwana: The SABC withheld her pension pay-out for her involvement in the Vision View irregular award of the contract. The matter is being prepared for court and draft papers are with Senior Counsel. 

Ms A Raphela: The SIU and SABC instituted proceedings against her to recover the losses suffered by SABC in the approximate sum of R21 million (relating to the R5 million SARS penalty and other irregular contracts) and obtained a court order to freeze her pension.

The agreement between the parties and the performance oversight is managed by the Rail Management Transport Task Team (RMTTT). This structure is constituted by core members that includes parties (PRASA, Western Cape Department of Transport and the City of Cape Town) to the collaborative agreement and the National Department of Transport. The RMTTT is chaired by the MEC for the Western Cape Department of Transport.

The success and effectiveness of the project will be evaluated by the RMTTT and a final decision to continue with the project will be made at the end of the 3rd quarter performance review and based on the funding availability and agreement by all three parties.

The decision to roll out of the project to other provinces is a decision that will be evaluated between PRASA and the respective local transport authorities and the provincial transport authorities based on the lessons learnt from Cape Town.

B) See table in (a).

(i) Compensation paid to crash victims and their families:

(II) The primary goal of the courts in enforcing commuters’ common law claims for damages caused, once liability of the rail agency has been established, is to compensate the person who has suffered harm. The courts function under this delictual action is to restore the claimants’ position, as far as is possible, to the position that they would have occupied had the wrongful act not been committed.

Money is considered the most appropriate form of compensation, for both patrimonial loss (including medical costs, loss of income, cost of repairs, which fall under the heading of special damages) or non-patrimonial loss (including pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of amenities and injury to personality, which fall under the heading of general damages).

The quantification of the exact compensation to be made to a claimant is determined by the production of sufficient evidence to make an accurate assessment. The courts will not make arbitrary awards if sufficient evidence is not led as to how the quantification of the claimants’ damages were exactly computed.

The process of compensation is determined by medico-legal evaluation of the Plaintiff. The purpose of medico-legal evaluation is to determine the following:

  1. The exact nature of the claimant’s injuries;
  2. The extent and severity of the claimant’s injuries;
  3. The sequelae and/or consequences that flow from the claimant’s injuries.

The medico-legal evaluations are carried out by medical professionals that specifically specialise in the field of personal injury litigation.

In personal injury matters against the rail agency litigants claim mainly the following heads of damages:

  1. Past Medical Expenses;
  2. Future medical expenses;
  3. Loss of Earnings and/or Earning Capacity;
  4. General damages.

A due diligence exercise on matters settled above R150,000-00 between 2006 and 2016 revealed that a sizeable amount of expenses are paid towards future medical expenses.

Once the medico-legal evaluation of the claimant has been completed, and the impact of the injuries on him has been assessed, the determination of the exact compensation due to him must be made.

In the case of past medical expenses specified medical vouchers delineating the exact nature of the medical treatment received, as well as showing that such medical treatment is accident related, must be provided.

Due to the once and for all rule in our common law of delict, all damages including potential future damages, sustained by the claimant must be calculated at the time the matter is settled. The future medical treatment required by the claimant as well as his loss of earnings and/or earning capacity must be calculated. This calculation is done by actuarial scientists who take into consideration factors such as medical inflation, earnings inflation, other applicable contingency deductions, life expectancy tables, etc.

General damages awards are awards made for the pain and suffering, loss of amenities, etc. that the claimant has suffered. These awards are made on the precedents set by awards handed down by the courts in previous cases. The courts make their award in the matter before them based on facts and circumstances that are considered analogous to the previous cases. All of the above is available for guidance and direction in the annually published Robert J Kock Quantum Year Book that is widely accepted as the general guide in claims settlement by the legal fraternity including the courts.
