(c) (i) Each incident is reported to the Risk and security department at the MLCC (Main Line

Control Centre) where it is registered with a specific reference number. Internal Security investigates, and targets identified hot spots and executes special action plans to minimize the incidents.

(ii) Majority of the vandalism is theft of copper and aluminum train parts which has a high

monitory value at scrap dealers. Another challenge is stone throwing at trains en-route on certain corridors. Due to the numbers involved internal investigations are not done for each case. Cases are opened with SAPS with the available information. See attached Annexure with case numbers.

(1) The PIC’s Social and Ethics Committee (SEC) has never considered the home loan that VBS Mutual Bank (VBS) granted to former President Zuma. According to media reports, VBS advanced a loan to Mr Zuma in September 2016. The PIC had no knowledge of, nor was it party to, that transaction. In August 2017, the transaction referred to in the reply to Parliamentary Question 2762, was referred to the SEC due to the negative media coverage that followed after VBS granted the home loan to Mr Zuma. The SEC had to assess the reputational risk for the PIC when investing in VBS.

(2) The PIC did not grant any loan to VBS to be used to lend money to former President Zuma.

The rest of the questions fall away.

a) While SARS has taken some strides towards implementing the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry and is in engagement concerning others, there are certain recommendations that require Presidential approval and collaboration with National Treasury. However, from the time that the erstwhile Commissioner was suspended and the Acting Commissioner was appointed, SARS sought to repair and improve the administration of tax. The proceedings of the Nugent Commission of Inquiry ran concurrently with these endeavours taken by the Acting Commissioner and some of the recommendations made by the Commission of Inquiry echo some of the initiatives started by the Acting Commissioner.  This includes re-establishing a healthy reporting relationship between the Minister of Finance and SARS and the formation of the Illicit Economy Unit, the Unit focusing on Large Business, and more recently, a Unit to assess and analyze taxpayer compliance levels.

b) The function to plan, facilitate and monitor implementation of the Commission’s recommendations will be assigned to a small unit that continues with this work, and which will report their progress to the permanent Commissioner.

As advised by the Prudential Authority at the SA Reserve Bank, there were no payments made by the Prudential Authority (which managed the VBS curatorship) to certain person (name furnished), but were made to the curator SizweNtsalubaGobodo Advisory Services (Pty) Limited (SNG). A certain person (name furnished) acts as the representative for the curator. The total cost of curatorship for the period 12 March 2018 to 12 November 2018 amounted to R21,6 million, excluding VAT. VBS was placed in liquidation on 13 November 2018, so the curatorship ended on 12 November 2018.

The Prudential Authority of the South African Reserve Bank (which took over the role of regulator from the Registrar on 1 April 2018) implemented various governance arrangements pertaining to the cost of curatorship at the commencement of the curatorship assignment. The governance arrangements include, inter alia, an agreement on charge-out rates, instituting a limit pertaining to the total curatorship fees for the initial 12-month period of the curatorship, as well as the management of potential conflict of interest that may arise from using other service providers.

(1)(a)(i)   The estimated loss of tax revenue due to the illicit trade in tobacco products for the 2015/16 financial year was R6 billion compared to the estimated loss of R 4.1 billion for the 2014/15 financial year.

(ii)(iii) The estimated loss of tax revenue due to the illicit trade in tobacco products for the 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial year has not been concluded as yet.

(b) Steps taken by SARS to ensure that all taxes on the trade in tobacco products in South Africa are paid are:

• SARS conducted Integrated Audits on the Tobacco industry for years up until 2015.

• Amending section 113 of the Customs and Excise Act, 1964, (the Act) with effect from 19 January 2017 to prohibit the importation of cigarettes with a mass of more than 1.2 kilogram per 1 000 cigarettes, and the manufacture of cigarettes of which the mass of the tobacco content exceeds 0.9 kilogram per 1 000 cigarettes.

• SARS is finalising a draft rule amendment to the Act that will be published for public comment shortly to require functional tamper-proof product counters on all the tobacco manufacturing equipment used by the industry at any licensed tobacco excise manufacturing warehouse in the country.

• SARS is in the process of modernising its current fiscal marker and implement technology that will provide information to SARS to enable SARS to track and trace cigarettes that are manufactured throughout the value chain.

• SARS has an integrated Audit team that was established to audit traders across multiple taxes.

There is an increased focus on illicit tobacco and cigarette trade using a multi-pronged approach that includes:

• Establishment of the Illicit Economy Unit with a multi-disciplinary team investigating allegations of non-compliance in the tobacco industry.
• Integrated audits are performed by the Excise team.
• Reviews of the existing licences are conducted in line with the new measure that is under consideration for implementation.
• Targeted port risk alerts driven interventions on raw tobacco in order to follow the trail from foreign exporter to the consignee who is either the manufacturer of the importer who supplies the manufacturer, to ensure that we can align any thread of imported raw tobacco to the volumes of production per manufacturer.
• Audit and inspections are being conducted on cigarette manufacturing machines to ensure that SARS has sight of manufacturing equipment and its production capacity.
• Policy review is being envisaged to enforce the cigarette manufacturing machines counters usage, with possible withdrawal of licences should the counter be found not to be operational.
• Increased inspections at targeted areas identified as being high risk regarding suspected illicit cigarettes sold.
• Deployment of Customs inspectors at the manufacturing sites to inspect, monitor, record and develop an understanding of the entire manufacturing value chain from raw materials that form the inputs into production and the final products in relation to the excise account declared.

(2)(a)(b)  SARS does research on a regular basis aligned to its strategic approach and focus.

In line with this approach SARS is in the process of conducting research into the tobacco industry.

1. Schedule 5 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, (Act No.108 of 1996) addresses the functional areas of the exclusive provincial legislative competence.

Part 'A' of Schedule 5, clearly states that the issuing of liquor licences falls within the ambit of provincial legislative competence, to rpgulatp the micro- manufacturing and retail sale of liquor through provincial liquor legislation.

The legal implications of Schedule 5 is that, where in the past the liquor industry was governed by only the Liquor Act, 1989 (Act No. 27 of 1989), the liquor industry is now governed by the nine provincial liquor acts and one National Liquor Act, 2003 (Act No. 59 of 2003).

Provincial legislative framework

The provincial liquor legislations are administered by the respective Provincial Liquor Boards/Authorities/Regulators, in the nine provinces. The provincial liquor legislation is only applicable in the respective provinces. The following legislations listed below, include offences for drinking in public and being under the influence in public and are utilised by the South African Police Service (SAPS) to charge offenders:

Eastern Cape Liquor Act, 2003 (Act No 10 of 2003);

• • Section 59(d)(i), being drunk or disorderly in or on any road, street, lane, thoroughfare, square, park or market.
  • Section 59(e), consuming liquor in any road, street, lane or thoroughfare, or on vacant land adjacent thereto, in an urban area or other area subdivided into erven or plots.

Free State Gambling and Liquor Act, 2010 (Act No 6 of 2010):

• • Section 128(3)(a)(ii), a person who is drunk in or on a place to which the public has access.
  • Section 128(3)(d), a person who consumes liquor in any street, lane, thoroughfare or vacant land adjacent thereto in urban/rural area subdivided into erven or plots, read with Section 128(5).

Gauteng Liquor Act, 2003 (Act No 2 of 2003);

• • Section 127(c), being intoxicated in, on or near any public place.
  • Section 127(d), drink liquor in, on or near any public place.

Limpopo Province, Liquor Act, 1989 (Act No 27 of 1989);

• • Section 154(1)(c)(i), any person who is drunk in, on or near any road, street, lane, thoroughfare, square, park, or market.
  • Section 154(1)(d), subject to Subsection 2, consumes any liquor in any road, street, lane or thoroughfare, or on vacant land adjacent thereto, in an urban area or other area subdivided into erven or plots, with streets bound by such erven or plots.

Mpumalanga Liquor Licensing Act, 2006 (Act No 5 of 2006);

• • Section 59(1)(c), being drunk in, on, near a road, lane, thoroughfare, square, park, shop, warehouse, public garage, entertainment place, eating-house, racecourse or place where the public has access.
  • Section 59(1)(d), consuming liquor in a road, lane thoroughfare, vacant land adjacent thereto, urban area, erven or plots, with streets bounded by such erven or plots.

Northern Cape Liquor Act, 2008 (Act No 2 of 2008);

• • Section 46(1)(h), consuming liquor or being drunk in, on or at a public place, including any road, street, lane, park, market, shop or warehouse, to which the public has access to.

North West Province, Liquor Act, 1989 (Act No 27 of 1989);

• • Section 154(1)(c)(i), any person who is drunk ,in, on or near any road, street, lane, thoroughfare, square, park, or market.
  • Section 154(1)(d), subject to Subsection 2, consumes any liquor in any road, street, lane or thoroughfare, or on vacant land adjacent thereto, in an urban area or other area, subdivided into erven or plots, with streets bound by such erven or plots.

KwaZulu-Natal Liquor Licensing Act, 2010 (Act No 6 of 2010);

• • Section 93(1)(d), intoxicated, violent or disorderly in a public place.
  • The Kwazulu-Natal Provincial Liquor Authority omitted an offence for drinking in public in the said Liquor Act. However, the eThekwini Municipality bylaws are being used to charge persons for consuming liquor in public.

Western Cape Liquor Act, 2008, (Act No 4 of 2008);

• • Section 76(a)(ii), a person who is drunk in any place to which the public has access.
  • Section 2(3)(8), consuming any liquor in a public place, (municipal bylaw for the City of Cape Town). Other municipalities in the Western Cape also have bylaws for the contravention of this offence.

(2)(a)

The SAPS conducts day-to-day operations and in 2017/2018 to 25 February 2019, a total of 64 809 persons were charged for drinking in public.

Guidelines, to deal with petty offences (category B-Crimes) and to prevent civil claims against the SAPS, were developed and distributed to all provincial commissioners for implementation.

These guidelines also deal with the release of persons, who are arrested for offences related to drinking or being drunk in public. Such persons may be issued with a written notice (J534) as a method of securing his or her attendance in a Magistrate Court, in accordance with Section 56 of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977 (Act No. 51 of 1977).

(2)(b) Education and awareness campaigns are regularly held with stakeholders to engage with communities and schools, to address underage drinking and the prevention of liquor abuse. A total of 21 626 liquor awareness campaigns were conducted, in 2017/2018, to date.

1. In terms of Section 16 (6) of the Public Service Act, 1994, approval of early retirement is a function delegated to each Executive Authority. This means each Executive Authority uses his or her discretion to approve early retirement, taking into account the motivation furnished by the employee when applying for early retirement.

DPSA has however provided criteria to be considered by Executive Authority when approving early retirement which are as follows:

i) the applicant is aged 55 to 60 years

ii) here shall be no negative impact on the delivery of services by the department

iii) there shall be no skills deficit created within the department

iv) the Human Resources Planning needs were considered

v) potential future fiscal savings will be realised in terms of NT’s conditions, and

vi) consideration is given to functions that are not aligned to a department’s mandate, structure and post provisioning norms.

We still need to engage Labour before issuing the early retirement circular and guideline.

2. This information will only be available once the Executive Authority of each department approved the application they received from the employees in their departments.

3. When an employee retires, his or her pension benefits are determined by the number of years of pensionable service. An employee with less than ten years of service, only receives a once-off lump sum (gratuity), whereas an employee with more than ten years of service, receives both a gratuity and monthly pension (annuity). An employee with less that fifteen years actual service, does not qualify for continued post-retirement medical assistance.

4. Not at this stage.

With reference to the RAF and the proposed RABS, the (a) difference in the respective revenue models will be that currently section 5 of the Road Accident Fund Act, No. 56 of 1996 (the RAF Act) provides that the RAF is funded through the dedicated RAF Fuel Levy, and through loans, to make payment of claims on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, with no provision in the RAF Act for any balancing of revenue with expenses, whilst the provisions of Chapter 4 of the Road Accident Benefit Scheme Bill [B 17B -2017] (RABS Bill) provides for an additional funding stream in the form of appropriations by Parliament, in addition to the dedicated RABS Fuel Levy (which is the current RAF Fuel Levy that will in future fund RABS), and loans, in order to make payment of claims that arise under the RABS Bill on a fully funded basis and RAF claims that arose under the RAF Act on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, with specific provision in section 32 of the RABS Bill for the matching of revenue and expenses based on a funding ratio,

(b) this model will (i) assist, together with the overall benefit design set out in the RABS Bill (i.e. no-fault liability, removal of general damages , defined and limited benefits, structured payment, benefit review, and no automatic increases), to make the RABS solvent over time, noting that actuarial projections indicate that the benefits under the RABS Bill are more than 20% cheaper as compared to compensation paid under the RAF Act and

(ii) be more beneficial to claimants by: providing more inclusive access to cover, through the removal of fault; enabling much faster assessment of claims, and provision of access to benefits, due to the removal of fault and because of the defined benefit design; providing for a deemed income, on which benefits are calculated for those who earn below the deemed income and those who cannot prove an actual income; providing assistance, including financial assistance, to claimants to claim; providing for faster and cheaper resolution of disagreements through an internal dispute process, or externally, through an Appeals Committee; and, reducing the diversion of funds meant for beneficiaries to intermediaries
