1. Due considerations of this sponsorship were based on the following:

(i) Sponsorship objectives: The sponsorship was within the approved scope when considering sponsorships, and it is within the mandate and Delegated Level of Authority (DL of the CEO (section 7.7.3.2 of the DLA Procedure Manual).

(ii) Transformation imperatives: Given the strategic initiative of Airports Company South Africa’s transformation objectives, the 7 sector strategies that will guide implementation have to date been completed namely IT, construction, advertising, property, car rental, retail, and ground handling). ACSA collobared with the BBC (Built Environment) provided assistance in the main with the construction sector strategy.

(2)(i) The sponsorship was within the approved scope when considering sponsorships, and it is within the mandate and Delegated Level of Authority (DLA) of the CEO (section 7.7.3.2 of the DLA Procedure Manual).

There was no finding on the process and governance followed, however, it was found that ACSA was not to have paid VAT for the sponsorship. This has since been recitified in the process manual of sponsorships/donations.

(3) There were no previous sponsorships/donations to the BBC.

(4)(a) There were discussions tabled to formalize an MOU between the two organizations, given the strength of ACSA’s strategic focus of transformation, however, this has not been finalized to guide the collaboration going forward, therefore the relationship is informal.

(1) I am informed about the attempted assassination of General Nyamwasa. On 6 March 2014, following the attempted assassination of Gen Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, our Government declared three Rwandan diplomats and one Burundian diplomat persona non grata and expelled them from South Africa, for illegal activities inconsistent with their diplomatic work which was in violation of Article 41 of the Vienna Convention and Article 9 of the Diplomatic Immunities and Privileges Act. Our Government took that decision based on evidence from our security agencies pointing to the involvement of these diplomats in illegal activities.

(2) The Government of South Africa and the Government of Rwanda have since 2014 engaged in discussions pursuant to the death of Col Karegeya and attempted assassination of Gen Nyamwasa. As an outcome of these discussions, the two countries agreed in June 2015 to normalise their relations. In the meetings that I have had with President Kagame, we agreed to normalise our bilateral relations, including the reactivation of the visa service at the South African High Commission in Kigali. Our respective Ministers of International Relations and Cooperation are working on the modalities.

(1) (a) The proposed amendments to the Ministerial Handbook were submitted to the Presidency in June 2018.

(b) The proposed amendments are, in the main, in the following areas:

(i) Staffing for offices of Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Premiers and MECs;

(ii) Provisions for Members with special needs due to disability;

(iii) Procurement of official vehicles and the use of hired vehicles;

(iv) Domestic and international travel;

(v) Provision, maintenance and furnishing of official residences; and,

(vi) The period within which former members are required to vacate state owned residences and relinquish official motor vehicles.

(c) It is envisaged that cost savings will be achieved through the transversal contract administered by National Treasury in terms of vehicles purchased, reductions in the cost of flights and a reduction in administrative support and accommodation costs when Members travel abroad.

(2) Following discussion between the President and the Minister of Public Service and Administration, the amended Handbook has been returned to the Department of Public Service and Adminstration. The Department has been asked to ensure that the amended Handbook takes account of the work currently underway on the macro-configuration of government and the amendment of Regulation 66 of Public Service Regulations on the staff establishment for offices of the President, Deputy President, Ministers, Premiers and MECs.

1. President Paul Kagame of Rwanda was one of the Heads of State and Government who attended Young Presidents’ Organisation conference in Cape Town from 6 to 7 March 2019, at the invitation of the organisers of the meeting.

Pursuant to the death of Col Karegeya who was found dead in his hotel room at Michelangelo Hotel on 31 March 2013 and the assassination attempt on the life of Gen Nyamwasa on 4 March 2014, bilateral relations between South Africa and Rwanda were severely strained.

Our Government took necessary measures by launching a police investigation on the death of Col Karegeya which is currently before an inquest. On the attempted assassination of Gen Nyamwasa, our Government declared three Rwandan diplomats and one Burundian diplomat persona non grata and expelled them from South Africa, for illegal activities inconsistent with their diplomatic work which was in violation of Article 41 of the Vienna Convention and Article 9 of the Diplomatic Immunities and Privileges Act. Our Government took that decision based on evidence from our security agencies pointing to their involvement in illegal activities.

1. What is the (a) volume in barrels, (b) average cost in dollars per barrel and (c) value of the country’s strategic fuel reserve currently;

Assuming the loan of Strategic Crude Oil Stock in April 2015 and the sale of Strategic Crude Oil Stock in December 2015 and January 2015 did not take place:

a) volume in barrels – 10 300 000 barrels of Crude Oil.

b) average cost in dollars per barrel - $14.39 (based on ZAR:$ of 14,45)

c) value of the country’s strategic fuel reserve currently; - Historical Cost ZAR 2.1 Billion or Market Value ZAR 9.7 Billion

2. what are the details of the Strategic Fuel Fund’s policy relating to the rotation of the strategic fuel reserves;

Policy on Stock Rotation was being formulated when the sale took place.

3. (a) how often was a rotation of the strategic fuel reserve undertaken

(i) in the

(aa) 2016-17

• April 2015 , December 2015, January 2016, February 2016

(bb) 2017-18 financial years and

• No Transaction

(ii) since 1 April 2018 and

• No Transaction

(d) what was the reason for each rotation undertaken in each case?

It will only be possible to provide a comprehensive response to this question once the Forensic Report has been finalised.

Having said the above though it is important to record that the Executives were considering certain actions can be summarised as below:

Financial Reasons

Saldanha Tank Farm was storing the Strategic Crude Oil Stock that was not earning the company rental income because it was Government Stock. This was at a time when the Oil Traders were looking for space (Contango) to store crude oil and SFF wanted to generate revenue and thus SFF was incurring an opportunity cost of about R120 million (10M bbls X $0.10X10 ZAR:$) annually on a conservative basis.

One of the considerations was to loan out the Government stock (With the necessary approvals procured) to any Trader who would keep an equivalent quantity of that Trader’s Crude Oil in the Saldanha Tank Farm so that the Crude Oil Stock of that trader kept in Saldanha would be security for the stock we loaned-out. In this scenario, it was envisaged that SFF would earn a “loan fee” from the Trader on the loaned-out stock and also charge a rental for the stock kept in Saldanha Tank Farm by the Trader.

Operational Reasons

SFF Association is ought to be the lender of last resort in case of a crisis in crude oil supply.

For that reason, it is critical for SFF and the country that at all times that SFF is carrying Strategic Crude Oil Stock that can be processed by the South African Oil Refineries. However in a questionnaire that the company sent out in the year 2014-15 to the country refineries, the refineries that did respond came back indicating that as we suspected that 50% of the Strategic Crude Oil Stock was not compatible with the South African Refining Infrastructure.

Reply:

The person in question was interviewed by the South African Police Service (SAPS) on or around 22 May 2018, before he was appointed to his current position.

The Presidency has been informed that the person’s security clearance is still being processed. We trust that the SAPS will conclude the matter urgently and make a final determination in this regard in accordance with applicable prescripts.

Reply:

(a) I did not have a meeting with the female firefighters employed by the City of Ekurhuleni.

(b) The memorandum was received by a Presidency official on 23 August 2018. It was forwarded to the City of Ekurhuleni, which has been asked to address the concerns raised in the memorandum, working with the Department of Cooperative Governance.

Apart from the signatures, there are no names specified in the memorandum that was submitted to the Presidency.

According to the Living Conditions Survey (LCS) conducted in 2014/15 the number of people living below R2 per day, (which translates to about R62 per capita, per month) amounted to 34 700 (in 2015). This translates to 0,1% of the total population in 2015, please see Table 1 below.

Table 1: Number and proportion of the population by poverty status - 2015

2015
Poverty line of R2 per day (R62 per month)	No. of people	%
Non poor	54 732 727	99,9
Poor	34 700	0,1
Total	54 767 427	100,00

Source: Living Conditions Survey 2014/15

The LCS is a survey specifically designed to measure poverty and inequality levels as well as living conditions in South Africa. Since the last LCS conducted in 2014/15 there has not been another survey of this nature conducted due to lack of funding.

(1) Col Patrick Karegeya was found dead in his hotel room at the Michelangelo Hotel on 31 December 2013. The National Prosecuting Authority and the Hawks are handling the matter to the extent that the case was recently submitted to a Magistrate in Sandton for an inquest.

(2) The Government of South Africa and the Government of Rwanda have since 2014 engaged in discussions pursuant to the death of Col Karegeya and attempted assassination of Gen Nyamwasa. As an outcome of these discussions, the two countries agreed in June 2015 to normalise their relations. In the meetings that I have had with President Kagame, we agreed to normalise our bilateral relations, including the reactivation of the visa service at the South African High Commission in Kigali. Our respective Ministers of International Relations and Cooperation are working on the modalities.

1(a) An amount of: R97 948 634.00 was paid by CIPRO to Valor IT.

1(b) No amount was recovered from Valor IT as the litigation is still pending.

1(c) Amount lost by CIPRO: R97 948 634.

(2)      There was no monetary value derived from the contract.

(3)       Consultations regarding the investigation and institution of charges of fraud took place with the Special Investigations Unit of the South African Police Services. To the best of my knowledge these investigations never resulted in criminal prosecution being instituted.

(4)        Suspension notices were served on the then CEO of CIPRO Mr Keith Sendwe and the CIO of CIPRO Mr Micheal Twum Darko.

Mr Sendwe passed away during the course of the investigation and Mr Twum Darko’s contract expired prior to any disciplinary processes being completed.

(5)       Since 2010, content management requirements of the CIPC were addressed by innovating and developing extensions to the existing legacy systems using internal resources. This has been limited to specific and identified development using digital image file extensions and the use of email to replicate workflow processes. This is served by an eServices portal, self service terminals, USSD and mobility applications that permit customer interfacing and identified biometric/DHA authentication in a digital/dematerialised format.

a) In each region, security personnel are deployed to combat theft and vandalism.

In the four regions a total compliment of 3,060 protective service personnel have been deployed, supported by 3,578 external security service providers. In Cape Town, further reinforcement in the form of drones and forensic support have been added as part of a pilot project. This has proven successful and plans are afoot to roll out this project to Gauteng in the next financial year. Furthermore, in Cape Town, PRASA and the City of Cape Town have entered into a partnership to provide an additional 100 security personnel which is deployed in high risk areas. This is proving very effective. The initiative is funded by the City and PRASA.

b) The deployment of security personnel (in house and external) has been in place for a long time. The internal PRASA security and external service providers have been in place for over ten years. Security deployments are reviewed and re-assigned on a case by basis and all deployments are informed by security risks as they arise.

c) (i) All security deployments are reviewed monthly to evaluate effectiveness and the required changes effected to combat crime.

(ii) The measures are dependent on the security risks associated with the specific area.

d) (i) Security fencing, CCTV, alarms, fire detection and intrusion detection for all substations, relay rooms and high sites are being planned. Other projects include the corridor fencing and corridor monitoring that will significantly enhance the protection of assets.

(ii) Some projects, such as corridor fencing, are being rolled out already, the rest will be roll out during the 2019/20 to 2021/22 MTEF period.

Yes, the provincial MECs have the authority in terms of section 91(2) to authority delegate to any other person any power conferred upon him or her by or under the National Road Traffic Act, 1996 (Act 93 of 1996). For the sake of ease of reference, I hereby quote section 91(2), which provides as follows

“91. Delegation by Minister and MEC

“(2) The MEC concerned may –

(a) delegate to any other person any power conferred upon him or her by or under this Act; and

(b) authorise any other person to perform any duty assigned to the MEC by or under this Act, and may effect such delegation or grant such authorisation subject to such conditions as he or she may deem fit.”

I am not aware of any alleged malpractices but should there be such, the measures to deal with those malpractices I would like to believe will be provided for in the aforesaid delegations.

(1) The GEPF has already provided a detailed response to a similar question in broad terms which applies to detailed investment monitoring, refer to the response provided to Question Number: 1220 [NW1316E] dated 2 May 2018.

The GEPF and PIC have entered into a formal arrangement stipulating the terms under which the PIC is authorised to manage the assets of the GEPF. The Trustees have implemented variouis the monitoring and compliance measures to enable them to effectively discharge their fiduciary duty of investment monitoring. The Board has constituted permanent committees and sub-committeees to give effect to its strategic functions, including investment monitoring. All the committees have formal terms of reference that clearly set out the mandate and duties of the each committee. These are briefly described below.

Board Committees:

1. The Investment Committee is a committee of the Board whose duty includes monitoring the Investment Managers’ investments, including the PIC. Part of the investment committee’s duty is to consider various factors including any changes in the Fund’s liabilities as reported by the Fund’s Valuator, and any changes in the expected return on the Fund’s assets, the likely volatility of the value of the Fund’s assets and any implications those changes may have on the funding level of the Fund, contribution requirements, or benefits of the Fund, including but not limited to:

• • Monitoring and reviewing the performance of Investment Manager(s) primarily the PIC, to assure compliance with policy, procedures, risk and return objectives as set out in their mandate(s);
• Monitoring investment performance. The investment committee ensures that an independent review and evaluation of the performance of the investment portfolio is conducted at least quarterly.

• Reviewing quarterly investment reports and reporting where appropriate to the Board on issues that are considered important or relevant for Board deliberation.

2. Valuations Sub-Committee: The Valuations sub-committee is a sub-committee of the Finance and Audit Committee and reports into the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board and the Investment Committee. The Valuations sub-committee has been established to advise the Fund on the relatively complex matter of the valuation of the unlisted investments of the Fund managed by the PIC.

Management Committees:

1. The GEPF/ PIC Investment Liaison Committee: The purpose of the Investment Liaison Committee is to bridge the gap between the PIC and GEPF’s Investment Committees with the implementation of the GEPF’s reporting requirements, resolution of queries and implementation of the investment strategy as set out in the investment mandate of the GEPF. The Investment Liaison Committee also facilitates smooth investment processes and ease the flow of information and communication between the GEPF, PIC, Government Pensions Administration Agency and any third party service providers of the GEPF on investment matters.There are monthly meetings that are augmented by more regular interaction as necessary.

2. The GEPF/ PIC Exco to Exco committee: The GEPF/PIC Exco-to-Exco was established to, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors, of both GEPF and PIC, exercise the powers and perform the duties conferred or imposed upon it by the Government Employees Pension Law. Part of the duties include oversight responsibilities in relation to the implementation of the GEPF Investment Management Agreement. There are monthly meetings that are augmented by more regular interaction as necessary.

3. ESG Working Committtee; The purpose of the ESG working committee is to address the environmental, social and governance matters within the PIC and GEPF Investment Committees in order to implement the Responsible Investment strategy as set out in the investment mandate and investment beliefs of the GEPF quartely.

(1) (a) The GEPF has not written-off its investment in Steinhoff and this is reflected at its current market value

(1) (b) The GEPF’s investment in Ayo Technologies is reflected at its current market value and has not been written-off.

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.

Water supply infrastructure is funded through various grants, including the Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant, the Water Services Infrastructure Grant and the Municipal Infrastructure Grant. In metropolitan municipalities like the City of Tshwane, where these wards are located, the Urban Settlements Development Grant is a supplementary grant for municipal infrastructure services. The grant allocations are based on household backlogs and poverty weighted data.

The choice of which projects are funded from the Urban Settlements Development Grant is determined by metropolitan municipalities. Projects must be identified in the municipality’s Integrated Development Plan and then included in their Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan.

(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. The National Treasury confirms that a full investigation was conducted in keeping with the Public Protector remedial action and a comprehensive report finalised on the privatisation of the Venda Pension Funds. The comprehensive report provides detail on the historical background, the process followed during the investigation in line with the Implementation Plan and findings thereof. The Implementation Plan was agreed by National Treasury and the Public Protector; and submitted to the Speaker of the National Assembly for monitoring.

2. The Minister of Finance submitted the final comprehensive report on behalf of the State to Parliament and Public Protector on the 4th December 2018. The National Treasury awaits further communication and guidance from the Speaker of the National Assembly and Public Protector on this matter.

(1) All transactions entered into by the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) has to adhere to the mandate requirements of its clients. The money market mandate of the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) allows for investments up to a 12 month tenure, whereas the capital market mandate allows for investments for a longer tenure. Both of the mandates for these asset classes explicitly state the credit rating of the issuer and/or the instrument being the main criteria for such investment. The Eskom loan in question was done on the explicit condition that the loan should be government guaranteed , which implies that it has the highest credit quality in the domestic ZAR denominated market.

(2) The GEPF’s mandate requirements for money market and capital market transactions are in line with acceptable industry norms and standards. The GEPF’s mandate was approved by the GEPF’s Board of Trustees. The mandates of all the clients of the PIC are also approved by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).

(3) The PIC’s Research and Project Development Team has conducted detailed research (“deep dive”) into Eskom.

(4) Due to the confidentiality of the information pertaining to the Eskom loan of R5 billion, the supporting documents cannot be made available. It should, however, be stated that this loan was granted on 1 February 2018 and repaid in full, with interest, on 1 March 2018.

(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.

(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.
