Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Energy
What (a) informed the decision to close down the Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa’s NTP facility and (b)(i) impact has the closure of the facility had on the availability of nuclear radioisotopes for nuclear medicine purposes in the country and (ii) is being done to rectify the situation?
Reply:
a) The National Nuclear Regulator cited safety concerns at the facility as its reason for issuing a directive to cease operations in NTP’s Radiochemical Production facility. This initially emanated from a situation in October 2017 when maintenance procedures related to calibration and certain safety protocols in the facility were not adequately followed. Hereafter, following a restricted restart of the facility in early 2018, operations ceased again in May 2018 following exceedance of certain technical specifications.
b) (i) NTP Radioisotopes SOC Ltd group of companies through its operation at Pelindaba produces Mo-99 and I-131 as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) as input material to manufacture radiopharmaceutical products such as Tc-99M generators and I-131 capsules to supply almost 100% of the South African nuclear medicine market needs and selective African countries.
NTP mitigated the impact of the API plant closure on the South African nuclear medicine market by importing MO-99 and I-131 from its global supply partners. This strategy was largely successful with the exception of a few weeks during this outage when NTP’s supply partners also experienced short supply situations due to the unavailability of some nuclear reactors in the global network. Selective local nuclear medicine practices imported product directly from international suppliers during this period.
(ii) NECSA/NTP corrected the immediate safety concerns at the facility and put in place initiatives to improve safety culture and behaviour. NTP and NECSA continue to engage with the Regulator to return the facility to its safe, reliable, and full operational capacity.

Ntlangwini, Ms EN to ask the Minister of Energy
Whether any of the companies which are building renewable energy power plants as part of the independent power producing programme have contracted the services of a certain company (name furnished); if so, in each instance, (a) what is the name of each (i) company and (ii) project and (b)(i) what services have been contracted by each and (ii) at what cost?
Reply:
a) (i) and (ii)
Yes, from the informaiton that was submitted, five of the Renewable Independent Power Producers, at the time of financial close, disclosed their intention to enter into a contract for equipment supply with Powertech.
The five projects are as follows:
Project number |
Name of Project |
RE_OW_0046_003 |
Golden Valley Wind Project |
RE_OW_0046_007 |
Excelsior Wind Project |
RE_PV_0063_012 |
Zolograph Investments (RF) Pty Ltd |
RE_PV_0063_021 |
RE CAPITAL 2 (RF) PROPRIETARY LIMITED |
RE_PV _0083_001 |
Greefspan PV Power Plant No. 2 (RF) (Pty) Ltd |
IPPs bear all the construction, maintenance and operational risk of their projects and therefore the contractual relationship between the main Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) contractors of the IPPs and their sub-contractors and suppliers are strictly on a commercial basis. Consequently, supplier and sub-Contractor information is not included in the Project Agreements with IPPs and therefore the information available to the Department of Energy at this time is received through optional submissions and could change according to commercial requirements of the IPP projects.
b) (i) According to the information provided, the service that was to be procured was for equipment.
(ii) Projects are evaluated on their price of which total project cost is but one contributing factor and not on the detailed breakdown of project cost elements. The Department therefore does not have the cost of the equipment supplied by this company.

(b) In terms of the Memorandum of Incorporation of CEF, the removal of Directors of the Board is the prerogative of the Minister of Energy. There was no consultation with Cabinet.
2. The allegations were of a serious nature. It would be premature at this stage to go into details about the next course of action.

Whether he intends to reprimand the Minister of Police as directed by the Public Protector for failing to ensure that protection was provided to two whistle-blowers in KwaZulu-Natal who were in danger of assassination; if not, why not; if so, what has delayed him to take action in the matter?
Reply:
The Minister of Police is taking the Public Protector’s report on review.

29 March 2019 - NW409
Alberts, Mr ADW to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether he would consider issuing appropriate regulations in terms of section 168(1) of the Municipal Finance Management Act, Act 56 of 2003, to ensure that payments by consumers for electricity from Eskom are placed in a separate ring-fenced account, in order to ensure that local authorities do not use it for other unauthorised expenditure?
Reply:
In terms of section 160(1) of the Constitution, a municipal council, makes decisions concerning the exercise of all the powers and the performance of all the functions of the municipality. The Municipal Finance Management Act 56 0f 2003 (MFMA) was issued to provide municipal councils with the financial management legal framework to enable decision making, which includes amongst others, the management of the municipality’s bank account. The MFMA is applicable to both municipalities and municipal entities. The MFMA enables municipalities to open more than one bank account provided that initial allocations to the municipalities flows through the municipality’s primary bank account. The legislation is however silent on the issue of “ring fencing”, however, nothing stops the municipal council from adopting a written policy which enables the ring fencing of funds for purpose of defraying liabilities due towards Eskom.
An Inter-Ministerial Task Team, made up of officials from the National Treasury and the Department of Cooperative Governance, has been established to look at strategies to address the failure by municipalities to pay, amongst others, Eskom and Water Boards.
Over and above the Inter-Ministerial Task Team, both the national and provincial treasuries are assisting financially struggling municipalities to prepare financial recovery plans for implementation. This will assist towards ensuring that the municipalities are financial sustainable. It is also important that issue of regulations are also looked at in the context of the Constitution referred to above, namely, that the executive authority at local government is vested within the municipal councils. The National Treasury can therefore regulate to provide a framework for decision making, but the ultimate and final decision vest with the municipal council.

Carter, Ms D to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether the Government entered into any agreement to assist the government of the Kingdom of eSwatini financially; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details of the financial assistance?
Reply:
1. The Government of South Africa has not entered into an agreement to provide the government of the Kingdom of eSwatini with financial support.
2. Moreover, should such a formal request be received, it would need to be considered within the context of the challenging macroeconomic climate as outlined in the 2019/20 Budget Review, which highlights the following challenges:
2.1 Subdued economic growth, forecast at 1.9 percent real GDP growth for 2019/20,
2.2 An increasing budget deficit (forecast to increase from 4,2 percent in 2018/19 to 4.5 percent in 2019/20); and
2.3 the resultant fiscal consolidation measures currently being undertaken by government (reduction of baselines by R50.3 billion) to ensure that public finances are returned to a sustainable path.
29 March 2019 - NW437
Shackleton, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Finance
What are the details of the policy certainty that the Government has strengthened as alluded to in the 2019 Budget Review?
Reply:
Progress has been made on key interventions to restore policy certainty as outlined in the 2019 Budget Review. These include:
1. Visa amendments and immigration reform: Gazetted amendments to the Immigration Act (2002) will waive the requirement of an unabridged birth certificate for children traveling from certain countries. Revised requirements for business visas clarify the documentation and accreditations required. An e-visa system will be launched with New Zealand as the pilot case. It will then be rolled out to other countries. The scarce skills list will be updated by March 2019.
2. Mining policy: Government issued a new Mining Charter. The Minister of Mineral Resources has signaled that controversial amendments to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002) are no longer in keeping with the policy intent. Separate legislation for the regulation of oil and gas is being developed and consultations with various stakeholders are under way.
3. Administered price review: The Department of Energy has invited the public to comment on the basic fuel price review until 31 March 2019. Stakeholder consultations are under way to identify ways to improve the efficiency and reduce the costs of ports and rail, making the country’s exports more competitive.
4. Procurement: The Public Procurement Bill is being finalised. It will consolidate various procurement laws into one national legislative framework. Provisions in the bill will encourage participation from black-, youth- and women-owned businesses in state procurement.
5. Telecommunications spectrum: The impasse on licensing has been resolved and licensing for high-demand spectrum will commence this year, with the process expected to be completed in 2020/21.
Prior to this, the 2018 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement reported progress on longstanding policy issues including:
1. Renewable energy: Eskom’s conclusion of 27 outstanding power-purchase agreements with independent power producers.
2. Energy planning: The reestablishment of a sustainable approach to energy planning by updating the Integrated Resource Plan for consideration by Parliament.
3. Land reform: Creating a panel to advise government on measures to effect fair and equitable land reform that will increase agricultural output and build self-sufficiency in food production.
Government is also acting decisively to mitigate the risks that Eskom poses to the economy and the public finances. The restructuring of the electricity sector and state support for Eskom’s balance sheet are central to a transparent and credible reform of the utility’s business model. This forms part of government’s broader agenda to restore good governance and financial stability at public institutions and state-owned companies.
Collectively, these efforts illustrate the progress made in providing policy certainty.

Maynier, Mr D to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)Whether the National Treasury is investigating the hacking of his twitter account; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (2) whether the investigation covers the period since his appointment as Minister of Finance on 9 October 2018; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
- No signs of hacking were found. The possibility that Minister’s twitter account may have been hacked was raised in an interview, during which the journalist asked if Minister’s twitter account had been hacked. The response was that we did not know at the time how Minister had ended up liking the tweet in question, and that we were looking into the matter.

Shackleton, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Finance
Why (a) was the Large Business Unit of the SA Revenue Service disbanded and (b) is the Unit being re-established?
Reply:
a) The Large Business Centre was decentralized as part of the new operating model that was adopted by SARS in 2016. SARS was of the view that decentralization will allow large businesses to have easy access to SARS offices throughout the country and by this enhance the service offering to the sector.
b) SARS took an executive decision to re-establish the Large Business segment after conducting diagnostic studies that showed the synergies and gains achieved when the Large Business Centre was centralised. The LBC will formally commence operations on 1 April 2019.

Shackleton, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Finance
What (a) amount has been designated for the purposes of (i) creating jobs and (ii) addressing unemployment in the Government’s national budget for the 2019-20 financial year and (b) are the details of each programme and/or department or entity that will benefit from these designations?
Reply:
What (a) amount has been designated for the purposes of (i) creating jobs and (ii) addressing unemployment in the Government’s national budget for the 2019-20 financial year
Public employment programmes are key components of the government’s drive to alleviate poverty, inequality and unemployment in South Africa. These programmes have a large multiplier effect on vulnerable communities by combining the social, environmental and economic objectives of employment generation, income support, and asset creation. Government has allocated a total of R15.4 billion in the national budget for the 2019/20 financial year towards addressing unemployment. This is mainly comprised of two public employment programmes, namely, the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) (R14.6 billion) and the Jobs Fund now called the Employment Creation Facility Fund (R800 million).
The table below displays the breakdown of funds designated for the purposes of creating jobs in the 2019/20 financial year.

Additionally, government launched the Youth Employment Service (YES) initiative in March 2018. This is a business-led initiative supported by government. It offers a quality one-year work experience to participating youth, coupled with training (both technical and behavioural) as well as boosting the access to networks relevant for finding the next job. It is complementary with government incentives such as the Employment Tax Incentive as well as custom Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment recognition work to further bolster the programme’s impact. The YES directly contributes to employment creation but does not have a direct allocation from the government.
(b) What are the details of each programme and/or department or entity that will benefit from these designations?
Within the EPWP, there are two main modalities through which public employment is funded. The first is through direct budgetary allocations, where public employment is an explicit part of the purpose. The second modality is where focus on employment is not the primary or stated aim of a given programme, but where there is scope for labour-intensive work as part of the programme design. Part of the rationale for the incentive grants is to encourage public bodies to look at their programmes through this prism.
The incentive grants of the EPWP were initiated to expand job creation in specific focus areas, where labour-incentive delivery methods can be maximised. The grants are made up of the following components:
In provinces:
- Infrastructure sector
- Environment and culture sector
In municipalities:
- Social sector
- Environment and culture
- Infrastructure
At national level:
- Environment and culture
While each of the grants vary slightly in terms of design, they share the following purposes:
- To strengthen job creation outcomes in specific focus areas
- To maximise the use of labour intensive methods
- To incentivise increased job creation efforts within public bodies by linking budget allocations from the grant to performance.
- To use the grant to incentivise increased use if core budgets and other conditional grants for the purposes of job creation.
The EPWP is carried out by the following government departments: Labour, Public Works, National Treasury, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Tourism, Environmental Affairs, Cooperative Governance and Rural Development and Land Reform. The Department of Public Works leads and coordinates the expanded public works programme, as articulated in government’s medium term strategic framework and the national development plan whilst the Jobs Fund is run directly by the National Treasury.
Complementing government’s broader job creation programmes, the Jobs Fund is a specific grant financing instrument that uses public funds to catalyse innovation and investment in activities that contribute to job creation initiatives and longer term employment growth. In March 2018 the Jobs Fund issued its eighth call for proposals which it hopes to complete by the first quarter of the 2019/20 financial year.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)(a) Which public technical and vocational education and training colleges did not receive all the results of the November 2018 examinations from Umalusi during the bulk release of marks early in January 2019 and (b) what subjects were affected in each case; (2) (a) which results were still outstanding for each subject at each specified college as at 31 January 2019 and (b) what were the main reasons for the specified delays?
Reply:
1. All the centres that complied with the rules of examination as encapsulated in the policy on the conduct of examinations received their results on 31 December 2018. The tables attached as Annexure A provide the lists of subjects, and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges that did not receive all their results from Umalusi for the November 2018 examinations during the bulk release of marks on
31 December 2018.
2. (a) Annexure A also provides the lists of outstanding results for each subject at each specified college as at 31 January 2019.
(b) The bulk of the outstanding results were released on 04 February 2019, following the first mop-up process by the Department and Umalusi. The main reason for this delay was that TVET colleges had failed to submit their Internal Continuous Assessments (ICASS) and some of the external marks timeously, i.e. Report 190-N1, National Certificate (Vocational) levels 2 and 3. The Department has written warning letters to college Principals for not submitting their ICASS and the external marks on time. During May to June 2019, Departmental officials will be visiting non-compliant colleges to audit the control measures and systems related to the management of internal assessments.

Alberts, Mr ADW to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)Whether, with reference to her reply to question 2633 on 17 October 2018, she is now in a position to indicate whether her department's higher education language policy, of which the concept was published in the Government Gazette of 23 February 2018, has already been finalised; if not, what (a) processes are still outstanding and (b) is the timeframe for finalisation; if so, by what date will it be published; (2) whether her department has received and considered the submissions of (a) the SA Academy for Science and Arts, (b) the Afrikaans Language Board and (c) Afriforum; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details in each case; (3) whether, if the specified policy has not yet been finalised, she will consider holding a symposium to fine-tune it; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (4) whether she has found that the policy is in compliance with her obligation under subsection 6(4) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, to manage and monitor the use of the official languages by means of legislative and other measures, since subsection 27(2) of the Higher Education Act, Act 101 of 1997, has the above as underlying basis; (5) whether she will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
1. The Department has not yet finalised the Language Policy for Higher Education, which was published in February 2018 for public comment.
(a) The Department has developed a further draft of the policy taking into consideration all the public comments received. The draft policy will be taken through the Socio-Economic Impact Assessment (SEIAS), which is a necessary process for all government policies, bills and regulations before approval for implementation. Parallel to the SEIAS process, a draft will be submitted to the Council on Higher Education (CHE) for advice, as required by the Higher Education Act (Act 101 of 1997, as amended). These two processes may invariably take about four months to complete (May-August 2019). Feedback from the abovementioned processes may lead to further amendments to the draft policy and will feed into the development of a final draft for publication and implementation.
(b) The policy will be finalised during 2019 once the above processes have been completed. It is envisaged that the policy will be implemented in 2020 when stakeholders, in particular the universities, have been taken through the revisions.
2. The Department received comments from a wide range of stakeholders. Submissions from all stakeholders have been considered taking into account the values of equity and the need to address the historical marginalisation of African languages as provided for in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996).
(a) The Department received a submission from the SA Academy for Arts and Science. The Academy welcomed the revised Language Policy for Higher Education and proposed that specific universities be assigned to develop indigenous South African languages. It called for research to be undertaken to establish guiding principles and procedures for the development of new terminology for African languages. Moreover, the Academy proposed that a core cohort of lecturers proficient in African languages be developed to ensure that there are lecturers who can teach in these languages.
(b) No submission was received from the Afrikaans Language Board.
(c) Afriforum welcomed the review of the policy and called for a funding allocation to be made in support of multilingualism at universities. It underscored the fundamental right of learners/students to receive education in their mother tongue or the language of their choice. It supported the proposed partnerships with the Department of Basic Education in promoting the development of all indigenous languages in South Africa. It further welcomed the explicit reference to Afrikaans as an indigenous South African language in the policy.
3. The Department has already held a number of symposiums and seminars on this matter and is not planning to hold any others before the policy is finalised. However, the Department will continue to engage with universities and other relevant bodies regarding the implementation of the policy once it has been published.
4. The revision of the Language Policy for Higher Education is being done in compliance with the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, and the Higher Education Act (Act 101 of 1997, as amended).
5. The Minister will communicate to all stakeholders once the policy has been published in the government gazette for implementation.

Mulder, Dr CP to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)Whether, in light of the envisaged and widely publicised principle of land and property expropriation without compensation, he has found that there are any economic indications that the specified principle has to date had any negative economic effect on the country’s economy; if not, what are the full relevant particulars as to why no data show any negative impact; if so, (2) with reference to the sectors of the economy that have experienced a negative effect, (a) what steps the Government will take to manage such effect and (b) whether the Government is ready to handle class action claims on a wide front if the value of the assets has decreased because of the specified principle; (3) whether there are any indications that the principle is to any extent going to have a negative effect on future tax income; if not, why no data have envisaged any negative effect; if so, (a) why, (b) what steps the Government is going to take to repair the negative effect and (c) what are the further full relevant particulars?
Reply:
Question 1
1. There are no economic indicators that measure the direct impact of the “land expropriation without compensation” debate on South Africa’s economic performance or its specific impact on the agricultural sector. However, there are indicators that collectively provide insight into the overall performance of the agricultural sector. These include: (i) gross capital formation in agriculture; (ii) profitability (net farm income); (iii) real value added in agriculture, forestry and fishing; (iv) farm mortgages; and the (v) agribusiness confidence index. None of these indicators are able to isolate the direct impact of the “land expropriation without compensation” debate.
1. Real gross fixed capital formation – a proxy for investment – peaked in 2013 and has been on a downward trend since.
2. Net farm income – a measure of farm profitability – has been growing since 2010. The data for 2017 and 2018 are not yet available.
3. Real value added in agriculture, forestry and fishing declined by 4.8 per cent in the first half of 2018 compared with the same period in 2017. Maize production eased following record output in 2017 and the drought continued to weigh down production in the Western Cape. The short-term outlook for the sector has improved due to higher rainfall in the Western Cape. The combined export value of crops such as citrus, grapes and macadamia nuts increased by an annual average of 7.5 per cent over the period 2015 to 2017.
4. New mortgage loans and re-advances granted on farms peaked in 2006 and has remained relatively flat since 2011. At the end of 2017 new mortgages on farms were at similar levels to those observed in 2013.
5. The Agbiz / IDC Agribusiness Confidence index fell to 42 index points in the fourth quarter of 2018 – its lowest level in 9 years. This was largely due to significant declines in the net operating income, general agricultural conditions and turnover sub-indices – suggesting that business conditions are driving changes in sentiment. The capital investment confidence sub-index increased, supported by increases in capital sales (specifically tractor sales which were 9 per cent higher in the first 10 months of 2018 in relation to the same period last year).
It is difficult to isolate the impact of the “land expropriation without compensation” debate on the agricultural sector or the broader economy on the basis of these indicators. Furthermore, the information revealed by these indicators about the agriculture sector is mixed and there are a number of other factors that influence sentiment in agriculture, including the cost of doing business, weather expectations and market conditions.
The government has allocated resources to conduct a general agricultural census (currently underway), to collect information that will provide further data on the dynamics in the sector to better inform policy making and support a viable, inclusive and productive agricultural sector.
2. As indicated, it is not possible to empirically isolate the impact of the debate on “land expropriation without compensation” and therefore not possible, at this stage, to presume any negative impacts on the economy.
3. In light of the above, at this stage it is not possible to assess the potential impact on tax revenues.

Question 1

Question 2
N/A
SASRIA
For purposes of the question(s) raised above, Sasria SOC Ltd (“Sasria”) has not contracted the services of Bosasa now known as Global Operations (“Bosasa”), in each of the past ten financial years.
Whilst we have taken care, and exercised the necessary diligence in preparing the requested information, it is necessary that we highlight that, there is no information that seeks to indicate or suggest whether Bosasa was at any point directly or indirectly contracted to Sasria.
It is also common cause, that Sasria provides specialist short-term insurance products to its clients, which include but are not limited to insurance coverage from damage caused by non-political riots, public disorder, including labour disturbances, civil unrest, strikes, lockouts and terrorism, as well as loss in respect of mortgage loans. It would therefore follow, that Sasria would be in a position to have done business with Bosasa in this respect.
In the spirit of this, Sasria has therefore settled various insurance claims to Bosasa, and these are in the ordinary course of our business, and the said payments are neither services sought, nor contracts entered into, as the questions above specifically enquire on services entered into with Bosasa.
We hereby therefore, for purposes of transparency, disclose all the claims Bosasa has had with Sasria, and stress the fact that these are not services nor contracts entered into, but claims payments in the ordinary course of our business, as mandated.

Mashabela, Ms N to ask the Minister of Finance
What has been the impact of manipulation of the Rand on revenue collection?
Reply:
We have no evidence of the manipulation of the Rand, and invite the Honourable Member to provide any evidence he may have of such manipulation. The currency market is a deep and liquid market, and it is difficult to determine any material or long-lasting impact of any one transaction on the level or value of the currency. I am therefore not able to respond to the question on the impact on revenue collection.
It is important to differentiate between the impact of any transaction on consumers and the impact on the value of the rand – current cases before the Competition Commission appear to be related more to the conduct of bank traders towards clients, rather than providing evidence of affecting the actual value of the rand, but let us await the outcome of that investigation before making any conclusions.

Shivambu, Mr F to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether, with reference to his reply to question 3915 on 9 January 2019, the implementation of the Public Service Co-ordinating Bargaining Council resolution included employees in Programme One; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) what total number of employees in Programme One (i) qualified and (ii) did not qualify and (b) for what reason?
Reply:
Yes, the implementation of the Public Service Co-ordinating Bargaining Council Resolution included employees in Programme 1.
(a) (i) 18 employees in Programme 1 qualified; and
(ii) 48 employees did not qualify.
(b) The DPSA Circular 4 of 2014, a Directive on the amendment to the implementation of the PSCBC Resolution 3 of 2009 and the grading of jobs/posts on salary levels 9/10 and 11/12, directed that the automatic upgrades should be implemented for employees who were appointed between 1 July 2010 and 31 July 2012, the 48 employees who did not qualify were appointed after the said date.
The National Treasury consulted with the Minister for the Public Service and Administration (MPSA) on the grading of the positions of 48 employees who were appointed on or after 1 August 2012, as per the DPSA Circular 4 of 2014. The affected positions were subsequently verified by the DPSA and retained on salary levels 9 and 11 respectively.

Mkhaliphi, Ms HO to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)Whether he has found that currency manipulation plays a role in illicit financial flows; if so, (2) whether he has found that banks who take part in currency manipulation should have their licences revoked; if not, why not?
Reply:
1. No I have not, since the National Treasury does not have any evidence on whether there is any form of currency manipulation and hence not able to assess the impact of any alleged manipulation on illicit financial flows. The National Treasury has also checked that the South African Reserve Bank likewise does not have such evidence, and would like to invite the Honourable Member to provide any such evidence if she has any.
2. As stated above, neither the National Treasury nor the South African Reserve Bank have any evidence that any bank has taken part in currency manipulation. We are aware that the Competition Commission is investigating a case of price fixing and market allocation in the trading of foreign currency pairs involving the Rand, which it has referred to the Competition Tribunal for prosecution. The currency market is a deep and liquid market, and it is difficult to determine any material or long-lasting impact of any one transaction on the level or value of the currency.
It is also important to differentiate between the impact of any transaction on consumers and the impact on the value of the rand – current cases before the Competition Commission appear to be related more to the conduct of bank traders towards clients, rather than providing evidence of affecting the actual value of the rand, but let us await the outcome of that investigation before making any conclusions.

Shackleton, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Finance
On what grounds is the National Treasury’s projection based that the country’s gross domestic product will grow by 1.5 percent in the 2019-20 financial year?
Reply:
Real gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to increase from an estimated 0.7 per cent in 2018/19 to 1.5 per cent in 2019/20. Growth is expected to be supported by stronger household spending and private sector investment.
Household spending is projected to strengthen due to gradual improvements in disposable income and credit extended to households. Employment growth is expected to remain weak in the early half of the fiscal year, although real wage growth in the private sector is expected to recover.
Investment growth is expected to remain subdued compared with historical levels, but improving over the medium term. In 2019/20, investment growth is expected to be supported by a rising need to replace worn capital, an expected improvement in certain export commodity prices, and a gradual recovery in business confidence.
The main risks to the economic outlook for 2019/20 concerns Eskom and the potential impact that ineffective implementation of its reconfiguration could have on capital flows; the level of the exchange rate; and investor confidence. Other near-term domestic risks include the potential for disruptive load-shedding, prolonged industrial action and whether a hesitance to investment continues well beyond political events scheduled this year. Government has made progress on restoring policy certainty with many measures being implemented or prepared for implementation. Improved traction on the reform agenda could increase growth, if reforms are well-received by investors and businesses.
Global risks include an escalation of global trade frictions that lead to financial market volatility and undermine international trade and investment. If trade disputes are resolved, the resulting improvement in business and investor sentiment can support global growth. Slower growth in key export markets can further pressure demand for South Africa’s exports while global financial markets remain vulnerable to uncertainties surrounding Brexit and potential banking sector risks in Europe.

Mente-Nkuna, Ms NV to ask the Minister of Finance
In light of the fact that the Nugent Commission of Inquiry Into Tax Administration and Governance by the SA Revenue Service (Sars) completed its work and issued a final report on 14 December 2018, (a) on what legal basis is the Commission continuing to be active at Sars after completion it completed its work and (b) on what date was the official last day of the Commission?
Reply:
a) The Commission has operated at all times in terms of a Presidential Proclamation (no 17 of 2018, published in Government Gazette 41652 of 24 May 2018) which set out the terms of reference for the Commission supplemented by regulations set out in Proclamation no 18 of 2018 (published in Government Gazette 41713 on 15 June 2019), as amended. There is no end-date for the Commission, but the terms of reference required a final report by 14 December 2018. Having met this deadline and issued its final report, the Commission is no longer active at this stage in terms of further hearings or reports, but Judge Nugent is concluding logistical arrangements like the cataloging and archiving of the Commission’s work or attending (where required, with other members of the Panel or evidence team) to requests like that of appearing before the Standing Committee on Finance on 13 February 2019. This logistical process commenced after delivery of the final report, and takes place at the premises that SARS made available to the Commission for its work.
b) There is no last day of the Commission, even though it is not actively functioning in terms of hearings or fact-finding. The President is expected to respond shortly to the recommendations of the Commission, and to provide clarity on a formal end-date for the Commission.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Finance
What is the estimated tax revenue lost over the past 10 financial years due to the illicit cigarette industry?
Reply:
SARS has conducted a research study (tax gap) to estimate the loss of revenue on illicit trade of cigarette using the top-down approach for the period 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 respectively. The estimated loss of tax revenue (tax gap) was estimated at R4.1 billion and R6 billion respectively. However, SARS has not commissioned a research study to quantify the size of the illicit cigarette for the period in question, 2008/2009 – 2017/2018 financial years and as such, SARS is unable to provide an official position to that effect.
SARS is currently undertaking a scientific and evidenced-based research study to identify the businesses operating in the illicit economy with a view to quantify the size of the illicit economy. The research methodologies include both qualitative and quantitative analysis through collaboration with business, field research including a survey for data collection for all tax types. The research study further serve to solicit input from the multidisciplinary stakeholder involved in the illicit economy enforcement to ensure a collective approach is attained. The study is expected to be completed during 2021.
SARS has put measure in place to combat the illicit trade and selling of illicit cigarettes through its Customs enforcement wing and in collaboration with other law enforcement wings from the public (JCPS cluster) and the private including TISA and FITA. SARS is aware of the various studies amongst others IPSOS and Euronomics which has estimated the size of the illicit cigarettes to average R8 billion per annum however, due to the absence of our own research, SARS is unable to quantify or confirm any narrative currently in the public domain.
SARS Enforcement performance, 10 years, 2008/2009 – 2017/2018 financial year
SARS enforcement was involved in 13, 428 seizures in the past 10 years, resulting in 1.7 billion sticks of cigarettes with a Rand value of R1 041 billion calculated at an average street value of R0.60 per cigarette sticks and R1.7 billion when using the industry acceptable average value of R1.00.

Reply:
1. (a) The panel of attorneys was appointed through an open tender process. Once the panel is constituted, work is allocated to the lawyers and the attempt is made to ensure that work is allocated to attorneys in a fair and equitable manner that ensures attorneys are briefed according to their strengths, expertise and experience.
(b) The entire panel is considered when a new instruction is received.
(c) The specific representative was first appointed in 2006 to represent PRASA in the Rail and Road Assessing / Mkhonza matter. In 2009 the representative was appointed to represent PRASA in the Mukoma Technologies matter.
(d) The total amount paid to Ranamane Mokalane to date, amounts to R10,116,561-32.
(e) See table below.
(f) See table below.
Name of Counterparty / Nature of matter |
Brief synopsis of the issues in dispute |
Status of the matter |
Rail & Road Assessing (“RRA”) |
Claim for alleged professional services rendered and not paid for in the amount of R3 466 000.00 |
Matter currently pending before South Gauteng High Court – this matter was placed on the roll and later removed after the plaintiff (RRA) failed to produce documents that it was required to produce at the hearing of the matter and that were required to properly assess RRA’s claim. Because of this failure, the matter was removed from the roll. |
Mukoma Technologies (“MT”) |
MT was engaged to repair, service, maintain and install CCTV cameras at various train stations on an as-and-when basis. MT has claimed for loss of earnings in the amount of R27 353 474.90 |
The court of first instance found against MT and granted leave to appeal to the full bench. The full bench denied the appeal. The application for leave to appeal is currently before the Supreme Court of Appeal. |
Department of Public Works |
PRASA is the plaintiff in this matter and it relates to services rendered to the Department of Public Works. PRASA is claiming R24mil |
Matter currently pending before the South Gauteng High Court and the parties are engaging in settlement negotiations |
Internal disciplinary hearing for employees alleged to have been engaged in jobs-for-sale |
Ranamane Mokalane Attorneys are acting as initiators in these proceedings |
Two of the matters have been finalised. Three other matters are nearing finalisation |
2. One of the requirements for attorneys to be placed on the PRASA panel of lawyers is a fidelity fund certificate issued by the relevant office of the law society. In this case, the firm had a fidelity fund certificate at the time of appointment.
3. Refer to (2) above.
4. PRASA is still represented by Ranamane Mokalane Attorneys and the attorney working on the matters is Mr Grayne Sekhasimbe. On 12 March 2019, PRASA learned that a criminal charge of fraud has been laid against Mr Grayne Sekhasimbe. This is viewed in a serious light by PRASA. PRASA has started engagements with the necessary persons, including the investigating officer in the case to ensure that PRASA’s rights are not imperilled. PRASA will take a decision on the relationship with Ranamane Mokalane Attorneys and Mr Grayne Sekhasimbe by 20 March 2019.

RTMC
a) www.rtmc.co.za
The client server encryption was not implemented to this web service as this is purely an information website and no login services are present. Any available documents to download have to be completed and forwarded per mail and not uploaded to the website itself, which could compromise confidential information. The RTMC is currently upgrading the website to a latest content management platform and is in possession of a verified wildcard SSL certificate if the need arises to implement on this web service.
The aarto.gov.za web service also corresponds to an informational website apart from the service querying fines and submitting elective options to the National Contravention Register (NCR). The NCR functionality has been implemented using SSL within an iframe running within the web service to eliminate any confidential information being sent across the internet unencrypted.
b) (i) & (ii) The RTMC manages the www.aarto.gov.za. As per following link https://knowledge.digicert.com/alerts/ALERT2562.html the SSL certificate expired due to a discrepancy between the governing bodies with regard to SSL certification of SSL Certificates. A delay was experienced in reissuing the new SSL Certificate free of charge as the Certificate Authority did not recognize the Corporation as the owner due to the fact that the certificate was procured by the erstwhile NaTIS Contractor. The details have since been updated.
c) The matter has been addressed already and certificates have been replaced.
d) The RTMC ordinarily tracks the expiry of the certificates and follows internal processes to ensure the service is not interrupted. In this instance the SSL certificate did not expire by ordinary effluxion of time but was no longer recognized. The Corporation has implemented a process to monitor the recognition status of all SSL certificates monthly to proactively react to any possible disruptions.

Whether she has found that educators who are not members of teachers’ unions are disqualified from consideration to become markers of National Senior Certificate examinations; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
All educators that have the appropriate qualification and the relevant grade 12 teaching experience are eligible to apply to mark. Markers are then selected in terms of the criteria listed in the Personnel Administrative Measures (PAM).
Membership to a Teacher Union is not a criterion for appointment as a marker and no educator has ever been disqualified from the selection process due non-membership to a Teacher Union.

1. The 2018 NSC Business Studies, as with all other subjects, are remarked by all nine (9) Provincial Education Departments and not remarked nationally or in specific provinces. Only in the case of the selected subjects that were marked centrally by the DBE, was the remark also done centrally by the DBE.
2. The remark process is an appeal process that can be utilised by any candidate who wants to confirm his/her marks in the written examination. As such, it is the candidates and not the DBE or the Provincial Education Departments that request the remarking. Candidates are also allowed to request a re-check of their scripts and they could further request to view their scripts after the remark request has been processed.
3. Individual requests for remarking of Business Studies were made. There were a total of 6685 individual requests for the remark of Business Studies that were made.

Ntlangwini, Ms EN to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
Are any microchips produced in the Republic; if so, (a) where are the microchips produced, (b) what is the value of microchips produced and (c) what number of people are employed in the production process?
Reply:
Microchips are produced mainly in Asia and the United States for the global market by companies such as Samsung, Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor manufacturing company. Due to economies of scale considerations, coupled with the quantum of investment required, the capability and the capacity to produce microchips anywhere else in the world is limited. There are therefore no microchips produced in the Republic.

Ntlangwini, Ms EN to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
Whether any computer parts are produced in the Republic; if so, (a) what computer parts are produced in the Republic, (b) where are the computer parts produced, (c) what is the value of computer parts produced and (d) what number of people are employed in the production process?
Reply:
Even though South Africa has capabilities in computer manufacturing, the Intellectual Property (IP) rests with the Original Equipment Manufacturers, all of which are foreign. Companies which are involved in computer manufacturing are mainly involved in assembly and contract manufacturing. There is a huge downstream opportunity in the value chain for some parts which could be sourced from local manufacturers for components which make up a computer. For example, the casings are made of plastic which could be sourced locally.
