Reply:
a) Ngwelezana Hospital requested and received a quotation from Suppliers, as well as Novak Medical, Surgical and General Supplies for 70 000 units of clear garbage bags. The quotation amount from Novak Medical was assessed to be an amount of R 23 800.00 by both the Bid Evaluation and Bid Adjudication Committees. The quotations went through all the procurement processes and Novak Medical was approved by the Bid Adjudication Committee as the approved bidder for an approved amount of R 23 800.00.
The Hospital could not process the invoice supplied by Novak Medical based on the following reasons:
- The approved order was for R23 800.00 and not for R238 000.00 as per the invoice submitted. The quotation received from Novak Medical was for R23 800.00.
b) Communication was sent to Novak Medical on 8th November 2018 advising them of the discrepancy and that the hospital is prepared to tender the amount of R 23 800.00 in respect of the goods delivered however no response has been forthcoming from Novak Medical.

Ngwezi, Mr X to ask the Minister of Basic Education
Whether, with reference to the President’s announcement in his state of the nation address of major technological overhaul for the South African education system which included rolling out tablets to all schools, her department is ready for this move in terms of the (a) budget, (b) teacher training and (c) provision of security at schools?
Reply:
a) Readiness in terms of budget
The plan will be operationalised starting 2019 with a preparatory phase, followed by three roll out phases focusing on the provision of gadgets with pre-loaded content including, but not limited to, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) Workbooks. The three phases target firstly learners in multi-grade and rural farm schools secondly learners in quintile 1 to 3 schools, and lastly learners in quintile 4 and 5 schools. The source of funds for the rolling out of tablets to all schools will utilise money previously allocated to the following:
- Printing of Workbooks and textbooks since workbooks and textbooks are being digitised and will be pre-loaded into gadgets. Currently the workbooks are printed for a single use. Through converting the books to a downloadable, interactive electronic format, the longevity of the books would be increased as they could be used multiple times. In addition, loading workbooks onto electronic gadgets would have the added benefit of decreasing the dating and marking workload for teachers (as this could be done electronically) and minor edits could be made to the electronic versions without having to reprint and distribute, which would be much more cost effective than re-printing and distributing the books annually.
- Grant money (e.g Operation Phakisa, Maths Science and Technology (MST) School Funding and other grants) will also be used for this purpose.
- Money will also be drawn from the Provincial Education Equitable share funding to fund the plan.
- The Private Sector will also be approached to beef up any short fall.
b) Readiness in terms of teacher training.
The DBE is on a trajectory towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and recognises that it is crucial to onboard key stakeholders like teacher unions, and to provide effective change management, training and support, not only to teachers but also for subject advisors and curriculum developers. Since 2005 province wide programmes on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) integration training for both teachers and subject advisors have been running. Training is classified into three levels: Basic Skills, Intermediate Skills and Advanced Skills. In some provinces such as Gauteng where there has been a rollout of SMART boards in the classroom, subject advisors and coordinators were trained on the use of interactive boards and tablets. In October 2016 the Directorate Curriculum Innovation and e-Learning had already developed three online platforms to train teachers on the use of technology to deliver the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) curriculum. The three platforms are:
1. The DBE MOODLE PLATFORM available at : https://dbemoodle.dedicated.co.za, the platform is a Learning Management System (LMS) (paperless) to deliver lessons with daily content and self marking learner classroom activities that are CAPS compliant. Hence saving time and hard work for teachers. The platform is for classroom utalisation with a teachers laptop and learner gadget to run an LMS.
2. DBE Cloud available at: http://www.dbecloud.org.za/lms/dbe/, the platform aggregate content and make it available online for parents, learners, teachers, subject advisors, subject coordinators and subject specialists.
3. Thutong Portal available at: http://www.thutong.doe.gov.za/, the platform is an online learning space managed by subject specialists at the DBE.
Training of teachers, subject advisers, subject coordinators and subject specialists at the DBE is ongoing, utilising the three platforms to integrate ICTs into teaching and learning. These trainings are coordinated and guided by the Professional Development Framework for Digital Learning which was approved by Council of Education ministers (CEM) in September 2017.
c) Readiness in terms of provision of security at school.
There is readiness in terms of security at school, conceptualised based on the categories as indicated below:
Computer Labs
Schools have to comply to very stringent security measures before a computer lab can be installed in that school. This will include among others the visibility of the lab to the surrounding community so that the community can report on matters that may put the security of the lab at risk. This go hand in hand with allowing communities to co-own these labs with schools so that communities can also benefit in using these labs. The specifications also include that the labs must be in the first floor to avoid roof entry, they must have safe iron doors and there should be only small horizontal windows with strong burglar bars to prevent entry. Other security measures include a dedicated alarm system, strict management protocols by schools regarding access to the lab and keys control.
Classroom tablets / cellphones
Suppliers of Classroom tablets/cellphones are required to adhere to strict supply specifications in terms of security of these gadgets. These include that these gadgets must be a trolley that is secured and can be locked while in the classroom. The trolley should have wheels to ensure that after use the gadgets can be transported from the classroom for safe keeping in the school safe made of brick and with an iron door. There should be a strict protocol approved by district and provinces from the school regarding the issuing and collection of these gadgets after lessons.
Take home gadgets
In other provinces such as Gauteng learners and teachers are allowed to take these gadgets home to keep them secured. In the next gadget delivery to teachers and learners, the DBE plans to design gadgets that are community unfriendly and only friendly for educational use only, without compromising the quality of the gadget.

Tarabella - Marchesi, Ms NI to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(1)What are the relevant details of the general criteria that (a) an educator needs to fulfil in order to become a marker for the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations and (b) educators marking Business Studies had to fulfil for the 2018 NSC examinations; (2) whether she will furnish Ms N I Tarabella Marchesi with a list of each person marking the 2018 NSC Business Studies examinations, in each case indicating the person’s (a) qualifications and (b) experience relating to Business Studies?
Reply:
1. (a) In terms of Personnel Administrative Measures, Government Gazette No. 39684, dated 12 February 2016, an educator that is appointed as a marker must have at least a recognised three year post matric qualification which must include the subject concerned at second or third year level. In addition the marker must have appropriate teaching experience, including teaching experience at the appropriate level, in the subject concerned, language competency, and preference must be given to serving educators who are presently teaching the subject concerned.
(b) In terms of the appointment of markers for 2018, including Business Studies, the marker must have taught the subject or a related subject at the Grade 12 level for a minimum of two years in the last five years.
2. In terms of the Regulations Pertaining to the conduct, administration and management of National Senior Certificate Examination, the Head of an Assessment Body (i.e. the Provincial Education Department) is responsible for the appointment of markers. These records are therefore kept at the nine provincial education departments and not at the Department of Basic Education. Therefore access to the list of markers appointed to mark the 2018 NSC Business Studies examination should be obtained directly from the Heads of Department in each of the nine provinces.

Reply:
(1)(a) On 6 March 2019, the case was taken to the Senior Public Prosecutor (SPP) for a decision.
(1)(b) In the interest of the case being investigated without fear or favour, the particulars of the investigating officer cannot be divulged.
(2) On 15 July 2014, the suspect was arrested and the case was taken to court for the first appearance. On 28 August 2014, the court requested that the complainant and the accused was to appear for mediation, as it was a common assault case. The complainant refused, stating that he wanted to be compensated.
On 7 November 2014, the matter was withdrawn by the SPP. The case was closed and filed. The complainant was informed and was dissatisfied with the SPP's decision.
On 22 July 2015, the docket was reopened on request of the complainant. On 21 October 2015, the complainant met with the Station Commander and the Detective Branch Commander, after which the case was closed.
On 2 December 2015, the case was reopened. On 3 February 2016, the complainant met with the SPP, where the complainant informed the SPP that
there was a witness to the assault, thereby resulting in a witness statement being taken. The case docket was taken to the SPP for a decision. The case was withdrawn again and filed at the police station.
On 26 July 2018, the case was reopened and sent to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate {lPlD), as the complainant was still dissatisfied. The docket was then sent to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and a decision was made to issue a summons against the accused. On 28 November 2018, the case was before the court and remanded to 13 December 2018. On 13 December 2018, the case was again remanded to 21
January 2019.
On 30 January 2019, the accused passed away. The death certificate was obtained and the docket is currently with the SPP, at the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, for a decision.

Hunsinger, Dr CH to ask the Minister of Transport
(a) Why has there been a delay in the issuing of driving licences in the past 12 months, (b) what steps have been taken to resolve the backlog, (c) what are the reasons that members of the public have to return to redo their fingerprints, photos and eye tests, (d) what are the reasons that no investigation regarding the matter has taken place and (e) by what date will an investigation into the matter take place?
Reply:
a) The delay in the delivery of driving licence cards was occasioned by the system upgrade on the production machine and the labour dispute lodged by the employees involved in the production of driving licence cards.
b) The production team worked overtime to address the backlog. In January 2019, there was a backlog of 250k cards, which was addressed on 8th February 2019. As at 7th March2019, there was a backlog of 194k cards which was caused by a delay in the delivery of material. This backlog will be addressed by 15 April 2019.
c) The Department (DLCA) has been working on a recovery tool to retrieve the missing images (fingerprints, photos and eye-test) in some instances where we have been able to retrieve them we proceeded to produce and dispatch the driving license card. In those instances where we have not been able to, members of the public have been requested to return to the centres to redo their applications. There are also instances where cards had to be rejected due to cancellation requests from the DLTC or bad images sent to the DLCA.
d) The DLCA opened a case of extortion and sabotage and the office of the Directorate for Priority Investigation upon their investigation issued a “nolle prosecui” citing amongst others lack evidence as the reason for withdrawal.

Chance, Mr R to ask the Minister of Small Business Development
What are the relevant details of the progress made between the (a) Small Enterprise Development Agency and (b) Small Enterprise Finance Agency and the Department of Trade and Industry relating to its black economic empowerment status as accredited providers to the small and medium enterprises sector?”
Reply:
The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) has published the application for the Small Enterprise Finance Agency’s (sefa) B-BBEE facilitator status for public comment. The latest update from the (the dti) is that responses have been received from the public with no major objections and therefore the facilitator status will be granted. However, the approval to use the facilitator status will be limited to the transformation of financial intermediaries. The final approval is awaiting a go-ahead from the Minister of Trade and Industry.
The Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) is in consultation with the the dti regarding a BEE facilitator status and has initiated the BEE verification process. The first verification process was finalised in May 2018 which found Seda to be non-compliant as most of Seda expenditure was not considered as it was core of our business. A second verification is planned to take place in March 2019.

Hunsinger, Dr CH to ask the Minister of Transport
What are the reasons that several new vehicles have not been used and have been parked at the head office of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa?
Reply:
There are no new vehicles parked at PRASA Head Office. There are eight (8) double cab bakkies parked in Durban and nine (9) double cab bakkies parked in Cape Town respectively. The reason for this is due to discrepancies in the fitments when the vehicles were delivered. The vehicles did not have canopies and ladder racks. The suppliers have begun with these fitments and the vehicles will be on the road by the second week of April 2019.

(a) What was the budget allocated for the 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner of the Airports Company South Africa held in February 2019 in Sandton, (b) what budget line item did the funds come from, (c) what was the objective of the event and (d) how does the event contribute to the vision and mission of the specified entity?
Reply:
a) R3 794 143,61
b) Corporate Affairs Division | Sponsorships
c) On 23rd July 2018 Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) celebrated its jubilee anniversary of 25 years. ACSA was established on the 23rd of July 1993, when the government established it as a fully-fledged Stated-Owned Company. Prior to 1993, the airports operator was a unit within the National Department of Transport.
ACSA has grown into an airports authority that manages a network of nine world class airports that South Africa can be extremely proud of. The company currently employs approximately 3000 permanent employees, contributed R9,5 Billion to the economy in financial year 2017 while supporting 14 950 jobs that resulted in R2,8 Billion of worker income in the country.
ACSA Airports have also, over the years, consistently improved their world rankings and won prestigious industry awards. Cape Town International Airport and O.R Tambo International Airport are currently ranked 21st and 32nd respectively on the Skytrax top 100 airports globally.
Based on all these achievements, the company made a resolution to host the 25th anniversary with the sole purpose of appreciating and thanking key stakeholders and partners.
The objective of the gala dinner was to recognize and acknowledge the support the company has enjoyed from key stakeholders over the quarter century. ACSA stakeholders include amongst others, all tiers and spheres of government, shareholders, regulators, airlines, bankers, investors, retailers, concessionaires, clients to name but a few.
(d) The 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner was aimed at recognizing the role played by stakeholders in the success and sustainability of Airports Company South Africa. Stakeholders are at the heart of ACSA’s 25-year journey.
As a State-owned company, Airports Company South Africa has a greater vision and mission beyond delivering profitability for its shareholders. We are mandated to advance South Africa’s national agenda of economic growth and development while delivering a sustainably profitable business. We strive to fulfil this mandate by conducting our business in an ethical manner that enables inclusive growth and creates sustainable value for all our stakeholders.
This approach further embeds our vision to be the most sought-after partner in the world for the provision of sustainable airport management solutions by 2025, as we accelerate the impact of our transformation agenda in South Africa.
It is against this backdrop that one of the key elements of ensuring Airports Company South Africa’s (ACSA) sustainability as a business is the approach to stakeholder relations management. Stakeholder relations supports the company’s vision and strategic objectives by helping build coherent partnerships that are mutually beneficial and that will maintain sustainable growth into the future.

It should be noted that commuter injury claims are long tail in nature and takes a long period to finalise and settle to that extent claims incurred in a specific month are not settled in that month but in later months.
c) Each incident that occurs on the PRASA network is reported to the Joint Operations Centre where the incident is recorded and a protection official is called out to the scene to investigate the incident. In cases of fatalities, each incident is reported to the South African Police Service who then takes charges of the scene and hands it over to PRASA once the deceased is removed from the rail environment. Incidents are further reported to the Railway Safety Regulator daily.
d) PRASA has not reneged on its legal duty to ensure doors are closed. PRASA as an operator is committed to passenger safety and operational safety. When the driver picks up their train at the Staging Yard, he/she ensures that the doors are tested and functional. We, therefore make sure that the doors that are malfunctioning are repaired before the train leaves the Staging Yard. Passengers have a tendency of blocking the doors and cause them to malfunction. When the train is staged for the evening, the driver tests the doors and makes sure that the malfunctioning doors are reported. The driver normally fills in the T403 Document to report the malfunctioning doors. The doors are therefore repaired before the train move into the operational tunnel.

Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Transport
(1)With reference to the reply to question 898 on 20 April 2018, do the operating costs stated only include the limited kerbside services or a fully operational phase 1; if so, how is the huge cost of limited kerbside services justified; (2) do the operational cost include the paying of consultants; if so, (a) what amount is to be paid to consultants in each year, (b) on what date will the consultants contracts come to an end and (c) what is the purpose of employing consultants in each case?
Reply:
1. The operating costs are based on a very limited kerb side pre-pilot service with 6 operational buses initially. While this would have been palatable if scaled up to aPhase 1-like 40 and then 80 buses carrying over 20 000 average weekday passenger trips within 6 months to a year, this did not happen and hence the current scale of costs and ridership is unbalanced and unviable.
Despite 2 years of DoT appeals, the city has proven incapable of correcting this. Hence a final warning has been communicated to the city project team in March 2019 and they have 6 months to rebalance costs and revenues and move to viability.
2. a) Amount: R 50 million per annum
b) June 2020
c) To increase the City’s capacity

Are there any driverless cars on the country’s roads; if not, are there any such plans; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
There are currently no driverless cars on the country’s roads. Yes, there are plans but not in the immediate due to policy and legislative amendments that would need to take place to bring about this realisation.

(v) Why it was necessary to spend on each case |
|||||
The nature of the respective matters together with capacity constraints pre April 2018, necessitated the appointment of external service providers to provide legal services. The RTMC appointed an additional 3 senior labour relations officials in 2018, which appointments have already resulted in reduction of legal costs incurred in the 2018/19 financial year. |

03 April 2019 - NW687
Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Transport
(1)With reference to the reply to question 898 on 20 April 2018, (a) what exactly is the grant money for, (b) is there a contract with his department for the grants and (c) what proportion of the grants are allocated to capital expenditure; (2) what is the total breakdown of all capital expenditure for each of the five phases up to and including completion; (3) what was the exact (a) operating costs, (b) fare income and (c) Council funding for each specific cost including operational in the (i) 2016-17, (ii) 2017-18 and (iii) 2018-19 financial years?
Reply:
1.(a) The Public Transport Network Grant is a conditional grant (under the Division of Revenue Act) to selected municipalities to accelerate the implementation of Integrated Public Transport Networks.
(b) Municipalities submit an annual budget proposal and business plan in the year prior to the budgeted municipal financial year which forms the basis for approving and monitoring PTN Grant spending by the DoT.
c) The proportion of the PTN Grant allocated to capital spending can very per city project design depending on the quantity of infrastructure required and the amount of compensation of existing operators. As a rough guide, up to the present, at least 60 to 70% of the Grant has been going to capital in the larger metropolitan cities that are operating proper scale Phase 1 systems.
Please note that the premature launch of Harambee in Ekurhuleni in 2017 with just 8 buses is at such a suboptimal scale that it cannot be viewed as a pilot Phase 1 project let alone a viable bus service. The city was meant to expand to 80 buses carrying 20 000 a day in 2018 and currently is still under a quarter of this.
The DoT has met with the city in June and September 2018 and March 2019 and put them on notice that they need to scale up to a proper operation of at least 40 buses in calendar 2019 or risk DoT invoking Division of Revenue Act powers to withhold transfers.
(2) Due to a lack of capacity and lengthy delays, the DoT is just looking to have a proper Phase 1 up and running over the next 5 years that will link Tembisa, Kempton Park, OR Tambo International Airport, Boksburg and Vosloorus. We expect this to cost a total of R5 to 6 billion in capital and when mature to carry around 100 000 weekday passenger trips.
The DoT will not allow any grant spending on other phases until the city can prove that it is running Phase 1 successfully. This is likely to take 3 to 5 years. At that stage future phases will have to be redesigned and costed to scale down on infrastructure.
(3) (a,b,c) In 2016/17 the City estimates operating costs at R68m with no fare income as they were only running a test service. In 17/18, the City estimates operating costs at R143m and the DoT estimates fare income at a truly negligible R1m or less due to the very limited service which was not viable from the start. In 18/19 the City estimates operating costs at R300m including indirect operating costs and fare income at R20m.
The city has not been forthcoming regarding Council contributions, but the DoT estimates it at around R40 to R50 million per year in question.
In conclusion, the Harambee project needs to professionalize and be run viably with properly balanced costs and revenues and passengers. After appealing for this for over 2 years, the DoT has now given the city until the end of 2019/20 to completely zero base all costs and rescale all operations to be viable and balanced and not a token white elephant. There is currently no excuse open to the city for the current mess and what remains is to drastically turn things around in 2019/20 or face the consequences.

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 |

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.

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.

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.
