Dlamini, Ms L to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
(1)Whether she has been informed that she has been implicated in testimony made under oath and in written documents by Mr Agrizzi at the Judicial Commission of Inquiry to Inquire into Allegations of State Capture, Corruption and Fraud in the Public Sector including Organs of State, chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo; if so, were the allegations made by Mr Agrizzi in respect of her true; (2) whether she declared any financial or material gifts from Bosasa as required by the Executive Members’ Ethics Act, Act 82 of 1998; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
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.

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.

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:
- The exact nature of the claimant’s injuries;
- The extent and severity of the claimant’s injuries;
- 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:
- Past Medical Expenses;
- Future medical expenses;
- Loss of Earnings and/or Earning Capacity;
- 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.

In terms of Section 1(1) (x) of the National Water Act, 1998 (Act no. 36 of 1998) (NWA) the Minister owns the land on which a government waterwork is situated.

Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
What is the lifespan of each of Eskom’s coal mines?
Reply:
According to the information received from Eskom
Eskom directly owns one mine, called Kilbarchan Colliery[1]. Indirectly, the utility owns some equity[2] in the cost-plus mines as a result of ownership of a portion of the mine assets through the cost-plus coal supply agreements (CSA).
Mining houses have the statutory right to mine the coal, and the statutory obligation to rehabilitate the mine. Eskom, through the CSA has the financial obligation to pay for these costs. The reserves dedicated to Eskom, can only be sold to Eskom. In a case where the mining house intends to transfer its rights and obligations, Eskom would have to provide consent. It should be noted that the CSAs do not include BEE ownership requirements as the last cost-plus agreement was signed prior to Eskom’s current BEE Policy.
Eskom does not disclose the lifespan of the cost-plus mines due to the following reasons:
- Production at some of the cost-plus mines will end before the CSA end date.
- As part of the life-extension projects, ongoing efforts to recapitalize some of the cost-plus mines will result in the stated life of the mine changing
- Some reserves in the cost-plus mine complex are not dedicated to Eskom.
-
Kilbarchan Colliery is recorded in Eskom’s balance sheet under the subsidiary Natal Navigation Colliery. It is recorded at R1, while the associated rehabilitation liability has been fully raised in Eskom’s financial statements. ↑
-
Eskom’s balance sheet does not include the cost-plus mines because the direct ownership rests with the mining houses and their balance sheets. ↑

GENERAL H AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE
12 April 2019 - NW422
Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Police
Whether the Government intends to continue with its non-statutory forces project; if so, (a) what criteria is being applied to determine the promotions to be effected in terms of the programme and (b) how will (i) these promotions be effected in a fair, meritorious and transparent manner given the rights and aspirations of other members of the SA Police Service and (ii) this programme assist in advancing the need to boost the professionalism and capacity of the organisation?
Reply:
(1) The continuation of the South African Police Service Non Statutory Forces (SAPS NSF) project is currently the subject of a review application which was brought against the South African Police Service by the Solidarity Union in the Gauteng North High Court. An interdict prohibits the South African Police Service to continue with the SAPS NSF project pending the outcome of Solidarity Union’s review application. Once the review application is finalised, a clear Judicial directive will be issued as a court order in this regard.

Matsepe, Mr CD to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether, with reference to aircraft model Boeing 737 MAX 8 which crashed this month in Ethiopia and over the Java Sea in October 2018, (a) the SA Civil Aviation Authority is undertaking an audit of all aircraft of this model landing and departing any airports in the country, (b) what (i) is being done in this regard taking the recent two crashes into account and (ii) investigations are undertaken and (c) on what date will the results of such investigations be made available?
Reply:
South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA)
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (a) identified one operator, namely Comair that currently has one (1) Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in its fleet and the second aircraft was yet to be delivered when the accident occurred. Only one foreign operator used and flew this aircraft model into South Africa, namely Ethiopian Airlines.
(b) (i) the SACAA engaged Comair following the Ethiopian airline crash and the operator voluntarily grounded its affected aircraft. Ethiopian airlines also voluntarily grounded its Boeing 737 MAX 8 fleet. Ordinarily, the Department of Transport issues a Foreign Operator Permit, on recommendation of the SACAA, to all foreign airlines intending to fly into South Africa and through this mechanism, the Authority would know the model of aircraft intended to be flown into the country and would implement and enforce any existing national or adopted airworthiness directives, etc. It is important to note that with regards to this matter, the State of design and manufacturing, i.e. the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has subsequently issued a directive grounding all Boeing 737 MAX 8 & 9 aircraft globally until further notice.
(ii) currently no investigations are being conducted by RSA’s Aircraft and Incident Investigation Division because South Africa is not the State of Occurrence or Registry of the two accidents; RSA suffered no fatalities in the two accidents and RSA has not yet been requested to participate or assist in the investigation.

Ryder, Mr D to ask the Minister of Public Works
(1) Whether the Van Der Stel House on the western corner of the parliamentary precinct, which currently houses SA Police Service offices, forms part of his department’s Prestige Portfolio; (2) (a) who is responsible for the maintenance of the building, (b) what (i) is the scope and (ii) are the time frames of any planned maintenance and (c) was Heritage Western Cape consulted in the development of the maintenance plan; (3) whether a (a) Custodian Asset Management Plan (CAMP) and (b) User Asset Management Plan (UAMP) have been put in place for the building; if so, was Heritage Western Cape consulted during the development of the CAMP and UAMP; (4) whether he has found that the State is compliant with the National Heritage Resources Act, Act 25 of 1999, and its associated regulations with regard to this building; (5) whether the building is currently compliant with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 85 of 1993; if not, what steps are planned to address compliance in the (a) short and (b) medium term? NW796E
Reply:
(1) Yes, the Belvedere Building forms part of the Department of Public Work’s Cape Town Prestige Portfolio;
(2) (a) The Department of Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of the Belvedere Building;
(b) (i) Requests were received from both the Presidency, as well as Parliament for the utilization of the building. The matter has been referred to the in-house heritage architect for recommendation regarding the optimal future use of the building. The outcome will allow the Department to finalise the scope of work for the total refurbishment of the building, thereby addressing the backlog of maintenance required to restore the building;
(b) (ii) The time frames will be determined by the finalisation of the process in relation to part (b) (i) above;
(c) The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) will be part of the project team in the planning phase of this project;
(3) (a) No, a Custodian Asset Management Plan (C-AMP) has not been put in place.
(b) Yes, a User Asset Management Plan (U-AMP) was compiled for the building. Heritage Western Cape does not take part in the formulation of U-AMPs and C-AMPS, as these mainly involve the Department of Public Works and client departments. Heritage Western Cape will be involved once the scope of work in respect of the refurbishment of the building has been established.
(4) To date, SAHRA have not yet been requested to do a survey of the building to establish the compliance of the building to the Act. SAHRA will be consulted in that regard.
(5) (a) and (b) The building is non-compliant to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993). However, all the fire-fighting equipment and signage is compliant for the building and day-to-day maintenance is being carried out as required. All matters of non-compliance will be addressed as part of the upcoming major refurbishment project.

Ryder, Mr D to ask the Minister of Public Works
(1) (a) How often are deviations from the prescribed supply chain management policies and processes by the Property Management Trading Entity reported on, (b) to whom are the deviation reports supplied, (c) who signs off on the specified reports and (d) why are the reports not tabled and/or presented to the Portfolio Committee on Public Works; (2) whether he will furnish Mr D R Ryder with copies of the most recent deviation reports; if not why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
(1) (a) Internally within the Department of Public Works, all deviations processed, approved and recorded are reported on a monthly basis to the Department’s Standing Accountability Management Committee (AMC).
(b) Deviations that are above the tender threshold of one million rand (R1 million) procured from a sole source supplier or arising out of an emergency and approved by the relevant delegated authority within the Department, are reported to the National Treasury and the Auditor General of South Africa (AGSA) within the prescribed 10 days of such approval per case.
Deviations other than sole source or arising out of an emergency are considered by the relevant delegated authority within the Department and then recommended to the National Treasury for approval/support. The National Treasury supported deviations are then reported to the AGSA within 10 days of approval.
All reported deviations of the Department are published in the National Treasury website after approval.
(c) Internally within the Department all deviations’ registers and reports are presented to the AMC. Deviations that are above the tender threshold procured either from a sole source supplier or arising out of an emergency are reported to the NT and AGSA. All NT supported deviations that are not a sole source transaction nor arising out of an emergency are provided to the AGSA
The Chief Director: Supply Chain Management (CD: SCM) or his/her delegate accounts for all deviations that are presented at the AMC. The deviation reports to National Treasury and AGSA for all sole source procurement and those arising out of emergencies and which were approved by the relevant authority are signed off by the CD: SCM. Reports to AGSA for deviations that are neither sole source nor arising out of emergencies that are supported by the National Treasury are signed off by the CD: SCM.
(d) There is currently no specific regulatory provision or stipulation that provides for the reporting of deviations to the National Assembly Portfolio Committee on Public Works. However, the Department of Public Works is always prepared to respond to any invitation from the Portfolio Committee on Public Works in order to report on the deviations as and when the Committee is able to find a slot to deliberate on such.
2. Yes, deviation reports to the AGSA for deviations that have been supported by the National Treasury are attached as Annexure A.
