DSD
a)
1. The core mandate of the department is to render psychosocial support services through its cadre of professions to victims of disasters. This service continues to be available to those who need it and its availability was communicated at the Provincial Disaster Management Centre meetings where all Heads of Centres of the respective District Municipal Disaster Management Centres are in attendance.
2 The role of DSD in the response to a disaster is to coordinate own services in the form of psycho-social services and access facilitation to humanitarian relief to the affected communities.
In this regard DSD did the following:
- The Red Cross Society of South Africa was identified by DSD as a collection and distribution point for donations due to their experience in responding to disasters.
- Vodacom worked with Gift of the Givers to provide relief in areas identified by DSD through the Joint Operations Committee (JOC).
- DSD linked Heal Our Land with the Cape Winelands and Overberg District Municipalities to support with the humanitarian relief response. Heal Our Land is still busy with providing relief in some areas within the Overberg Municipal area.
- In the Metro, several humanitarian relief organisations provided support to the affected communities in collaboration with the City of Cape Town Disaster and Risk Management Centre.
- The WeLoveUFoundation has also come on board and is willing to provide support in any identified area. DSD is working with the City of Cape Town (COCT) to identify an area where support is required. WeLoveUFoundation prefers to work within a metropolitan area oppose to a rural area.
- The following Municipalities - Cape Winelands District Municipality, Overberg District Municipality and the City of Cape Town arranged with numerous Humanitarian Relief Organisations to provide hot meals and other nutrition as required to the affected communities within their area of operation.
The department continues to work collaboratively with all strategic partners and stakeholders to mitigate against the social vulnerabilities heaped upon the poorest of the poor resultant from the flood disaster.
b) The Department’s future social protection plan for vulnerable persons affected by disasters is to continue to work collaboratively with municipalities, community representatives and other stakeholders to identify hot spots for disasters. The whole of society and the whole of government approaches need to be engaged to raise awareness and caution vulnerable groups from illegally erecting informal structures in swamp, wetlands and/or low-lying areas. The Department works with all municipalities and stakeholders to development and implement the annual summer/winter readiness plans.
The Department will continue to establish and monitor the existing humanitarian social relief work-streams in the metro and rural municipalities as part of its preparedness and response mitigation plans.
The department will also continue to provide capacity building and education to internal staff and stakeholders on the DSD Social Relief Plan, Protocols and SOP’s that are in place.
The Department will also continue to provide psycho-social support to the vulnerable individuals affected by the disaster and where appropriate, refer affected and vulnerable individual to our sister departments and relevant stakeholders for material support and other needed services.
SASSA
a)
SASSA provides Social Relief of Distress to any person in need of immediate relief, as per Social Assistance Act 13 of 2004 (Section 13), together with Regulations 11, 16, 17, 18 and 19
The form of relief can be meals, thick foam sponges, blankets, vanity packs, baby pack, school uniforms, and or cash voucher as prescribed and approved by the Agency provided the affected persons meet the qualifying criteria.
The relief provided is on a short-term basis to persons affected by a disaster, declared or undeclared.
Declared disasters:
- A person may qualify for Social Relief of Distress if that household has been affected by a disaster as defined in the Disaster Management Act, 2002 (Act 57 of 2002).
- The value of social relief of distress paid to a person as a result of a disaster may not be recovered from any social grant payment, including an arrear payment.
- A list of persons or households affected by a disaster as verified by the Provincial or Local Disaster Management Response Unit will be regarded as the final list for the provision of immediate humanitarian relief.
Undeclared disaster:
- A person may qualify for Social Relief of Distress if that household has been affected by a disaster incident.
- A list of households affected by a disaster as verified by the provincial or local office of the Agency will be regarded as the final list of those who are affected for the purpose of disbursing Social Relief of Distress.
The below table depicts the number of people affected by floods in the Eastern and Western Cape and related costs dispersed in the 2023/2024 financial year.

Reply:
1. The Department of Cooperative Governance (DCOG) keeps a record of engineers employed in municipalities that are supported by the Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA). As of December 2022, the total number of (a) mechanical, (b) electrical, (c) civil and (d) chemical engineers employed is provided on Annexure A attached hereto.
2. Yes, some of the engineers are registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) and shown on Annexure A as professionally registered. Some of the engineers are not registered as they are still gaining the requisite experience required for professional registration.
3. According to the respective municipalities, the total number of vacancies is provided on Annexure A attached hereto.
4. The vacant posts get advertised in local and national newspapers as well as on the municipalities’ websites in some instances.
5. The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs will not make a statement on the matter as the vacancies are filled as and when they become available anytime during the year when the incumbent leaves the position. Furthermore, the Department of Cooperative Governance (DCOG) through MISA deploys professionally registered engineers, among other built environment professionals, to provide technical support for infrastructure development to the municipalities.

Stock, Mr D to ask the Minister of Social Development
What (a) different funding models are being explored to fund the Basic Income Grant that has the potential to reduce the Republic’s poverty, unemployment and inequality scales, despite the concerns about its funding and (b) are the advantages and disadvantages of each funding model that is being explored?
Reply:
The key funding options that have been proposed for funding the basic income grant are through an increase in taxation, reallocation of current budget allocations or through borrowing.
The borrowing option has the advantage that it would provide additional funding without a need for budget reprioritisation or tax increases. However, this would be expensive for the country as it would increase the country’s debt burden and also increase the already very high interest payments which are already one of the biggest spending items in our government expenditure, which could crowd out other important spending priorities of government.
A second alternative would be a reprioritisation of current budget allocations. This would have the advantage of shifting funds from some government expenditures which are less effective and/or efficient, and redirect it to the urgent needs of the poor. However, such a reprioritisation would be very complex and difficult to implement quickly, since some projects would require significant time and careful planning to wind down without negative unintended consequences.
The tax options considered include wealth taxes, removal of tax expenditure subsidies, increases in the Value Added Tax (VAT) or personal income tax. The advantage of the VAT is that it would be a broad-based tax which enables government to collect sufficient revenue to fully fund the grant, which would be fairly easy to introduce and collect. The disadvantage, however, is that this would be regressive in that the poor would pay the same as the rich. Such an approach would negate the motivation for the grant as the poor would in effect pay proportionally more than the rich because VAT is a flat rate for everyone.
The wealth tax, on the other hand has the advantage of being quite progressive as it would target the rich only. The disadvantage however is that it could result in significant tax avoidance and thus result in inconsistent revenue on a year to year basis as the wealthy find ways to avoid it.
The tax expenditure subsidies on retirement savings were also considered as a possibility. The advantage of this is that, in addition to providing new tax revenue, it would create greater equity in the tax system by reducing support which is currently benefitting high income earners. However, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to quantify and would be unreliable as the only source of revenue, and may result in disincentivising retirement savings among some high-income earners.
The Personal Income Tax (PIT)approach has the advantage of being a more progressive tax which would take a greater contribution from the high-income earners than the lower income earners, thus ensuring a more sustainable revenue source. It is also more reliable than the other tax approaches, thus ensuring sustainable funding in the long term. The additional advantage of using the PIT to finance the grant would also improve the income inequality in our country, as the poor would receive an increase in their income while the rich would have a reduction based on the increase in the tax rate that they have to pay.

Makamba-Botya, Ms N to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
Whether she has any measures in place to curb the over-reliance on consultancy firms to provide basic services such as auditing, accounting and financial planning, amongst other services, that could otherwise be done through establishing internal capacity; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The stability of municipal administrations is an important component both in building capacity and in creating the environment for effective functioning of the municipality and provision of sustainable service delivery. To strengthen institutional capacity, the Minister promulgated the Local Government: Municipal Staff Regulations and Guidelines as a response to the commitments of government’s resolve to professionalise local public administration and build a capable local public administration and human resources. The regulations prescribe minimum competency requirements for staff below management echelon, for entry into the municipal administration. The Regulations for staff below senior managers are linked with competency requirements for each individual occupational level.
The Department is currently rolling out programmes through Municipal Systems Improvement Grants (MSIG), which aimed at providing technical support to the municipalities to stabilize administration and improve governance systems. The roll out of these programmes empowers and strengthen capacity within municipalities.
To ensure effective use of consultants, Local Government Municipal Cost Containment Regulations prescribe requirements, and bring consistency and uniformity in application od use of consulatnts. The regulations requires that the municipalities may only appoint consultants if an assessment of the needs and requirements confirms that the affected municipality does not have the requisite skills or resources in its full -time employ to perform the function. Furthermore, the regulations advocate for municipality to develop consultancy reduction plans to reduce the reliance on consultants.
Though, the use of consultants is not prohibited, municipalities are encouraged to channel resource and invest in building internal capacity for sustainability and reduce reliance on consultants.

Groenewald, Dr PJ to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
(1) What (a) total number of cases were rejected by the National Prosecuting Authority (i) over the past five financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2023 due to inadequate investigation by the SA Police Service and (b) was the total number of complaints in each specified case; (2) whether he will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) does not record cases rejected due to ‘inadequate investigation”. Where the SA Police Service submit case dockets to the NPA for decision where the investigations are “inadequate” the NPA provides the Police with directions for further investigation and the case dockets are returned to the Police.
In the lower courts, all Police case dockets presented to prosecutors for decision are considered and when further investigation is required, such directions as to the further investigation is provided to the investigating officer. In more complex cases dealt with by the Specialised Commercial Crimes Unit, Organised Crime Component or the Serious Complex Tax Unit a PGI (Prosecutor Guided Investigation) approach is adopted earlier in the process.
The investigation is also monitored and the responsibility of the management within the South African Police Service and questions regarding the quality of investigations may be directed to the SAPS.

Arries, Ms LH to ask the Minister of Social Development
What are the reasons that the R 6 billion rand that was underspent by her department and subsequently sent to the Department of Defence was not utilised to appoint unemployed social workers?
Reply:
The National Department of Social Development reflected an underspending of R 6.1 billion for the 2022/23 financial year. The main underspending was reflected in the Social Assistance Programme (Social Grants Budgets). R 4.3 billion of this amount is related to the SRD R 350 grant.
During the 2022 Adjusted Estimates of National Expenditure (ENE) in September 2022, an amount of R 755.303 million was approved by Parliament to be shifted from the National Department of Social Development to the Department of Defence for extended deployment as part of Operation Vikela in Mozambique.
The Department has requested the National Treasury to re-utilize any savings from social grants for poverty alleviation strategies in the social sector. This request was however not granted, and Parliament has re-allocated savings on social grants to other government pressures.

(a) What amount of the additional allocation of R68.2 billion to the education and health sectors will be received by his department in order to fund the 7,5% public sector wage increase for all persons employed in his department and (b) how will he balance the books with an austerity budget in order to fill the more than 18 000 vacancies and ensure that healthcare services continue to be delivered to overcome the significant challenges of the public health system?
Reply:
a) Medium Term Budget Policy Statement indicates R17,5 billion to be allocation to Health and Education for the wage bill increase. Based on the discussions with National Treasury officials a preliminary allocation of around R6.8 billion might be allocated to health sector. The final budget allocation to cover the public sector wage increase will be confirmed at the later stage.
b) The department will identify the critical post which will be prioritized for recruitment once the allocation has been confirmed. The budget allocation will cover the shortfall resulted by public wage increase not for additional posts. Provinces annually appoint Employment Recruitment Teams lead by Heads of Health Departments or delegated officials at senior positions to develop recruitment plans prioritizing the filling of critical posts with a required skills mix to address the burden of diseases at all our levels of care guarding against overspending on provided/available budgets.

van der Merwe, Ms LL to ask the Minister of Social Development
What steps has her department taken to significantly reduce the number of more than 1000 babies that are reportedly abandoned annually?
Reply:
1. (a) In response to steps taken by the department to significantly reduce the number of child abandonment annually, it is important to clarify that there are no records of 1000 babies abandoned annually recorded in the National Child Protection Register (CPR) which is a legislated register to keep records of child abuse cases including abandonment. The Department notes with concern the number of abandoned babies indicated in statistics that are not reported taken to CPR. The discrepancy in reporting could be attributed to low reporting to CPR.
(b) The steps taken by the department to address child abandonment are as follows
(i) The Department of Social Development in partnership with the Department of Health and Education conducts implementing Integrated School Health Programme conducts education and awareness on sexual and reproductive health rights including dealing with unwanted pregnancy.
(ii) Lifeskills programmes are conducted addressing teenage pregnancies.
(iii) Education and awareness also conducted through media campaign and community dialogues educating communities about available alternative care options and support for parents in distress, education about risks and dangers of child abandonment.
(iv) Isiqalo Program directed to vulnerable pregnant girls/women focussing on life skills, improvement of maternal health, baby care information, prevention of child abuse and reduction of child mortality.
(v) Flourish programme, a national network of antenatal and postnatal classes (10 weeks) that support, celebrate and empower mothers through the critical first 1000 days of a child’s life.
(vi) Sinovuyo Teenagers parenting programme as well as prevention and early intervention parenting skills development programmes to build capacity of parents to care for their children.
(vii) Promotion of adoption services and capacity building of social workers in the Department of Health, empowering them to provide the right information about adoption to birth mothers in order to prevent abandonment of children by the mother of a new born baby including cases when mothers are unable to care for their babies.
(viii) Work in partnership with stakeholders such as the South African Police Service, Department of Health, Department of Education, Faith Based Organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations in the awareness campaign on challenges of child abandonment, empowering mothers with information on how they can safely relinquish their children within the child protection system.
(ix) Conduct holiday programmes through funded implementing partners, empowering communities and parents how to keep children and babies in a safe environment.

Arries, Ms LH to ask the Minister of Social Development
(1)By what date is it envisaged that the current vacant positions of senior managers in her department will be filled; (2) whether there are any persons acting in the vacant senior positions; if not, why not; if so, what are the reasons that the positions have not been filled with full-time staff immediately when they became vacant?
Reply:
1. The Department envisages to fill these key Management positions by 31 March 2024.
The Department of Social Development has twenty-two (22) vacant posts in the Senior Management Service (SMS) level.
There are six senior management posts that are at various stages of the recruitment and selection processes – advertising, screening, shortlisting, interviews, and appointments.
The remaining sixteen (16) SMS positions are being considered in line with the re-alignment of the organization structure, cost containment measures and availability of budget.
2. The Department of Social Development has appointed officials to act in various vacant and funded SMS posts.
There are various reasons for not filling the posts immediately when they became vacant, and these include the cost containment measures, the continued reduction of the compensation budget, the funding of the wage agreement from departmental budgets, and the recent DPSA directive on the filling of posts.

Manganye, Ms J to ask the Minister of Social Development
(a) How effective has the Community-Based Prevention and Early Intervention Programme been in identifying and removing children from vulnerable environments and (b) what is the ratio of identified vulnerable children to the number of available professionals providing social services?
Reply:
a) The Community-Based Prevention and Early Intervention Programme is effective as the programme is designed in a manner that facilitates early identification of vulnerable children through home visits conducted by auxiliary child and youth care workers who uses the assessment tool (Ungubani) that has seven domains to identify the level of risk a vulnerable children is exposed to. Upon identification of risks, the child(ren) are referred to drop-in centres where interventions informed by the seven domains of the programme are rendered to children and their families for purposes of building their resilience. Schools also act as referral point to Social Workers and Drop-in centres through the implementation of Integrated School Health Programme. Drop-in centres which are access points for the community-based prevention and early intervention programme provides psychosocial support and educational support to improve academic performance and this has been demonstrated by the improved academic performance including matric results. Children are encouraged to remain in school until matric, and those who continue with tertiary education are also supported. The effectiveness of the programme is also demonstrated in the implementation of prevention and early intervention services directed towards individual family members, improving interpersonal relationship, whilst building resilience of children and families. The programme has reached 222 152 by the end of the second quarter of 2023/2024 Financial Year.
b) According to the Guidelines for Community -Based Prevention and Early Intervention Services to Vulnerable Children, the ratio for identified vulnerable children to number of available professionals is as follows:
1:47 for qualified Auxiliary Child and Youth Care Workers; and
1:24 for learner Child and Youth Care Workers.

Where this is the case, it has been expressly indicated. With the above in mind, below are the replies to the questions:
1. AD QUESTION 1(a):
- 1.1 On 07 April 2022 the police presented the Control Prosecutor with one case docket of Primrose CAS 25/04/2022.

- 1.5 On 12 April 2022, the police presented the prosecution with one case docket of Primrose CAS 43/04/2022 (counter charge). This matter was attended to by the Acting Control Prosecutor and not the Control Prosecutor who dealt with the docket of Primrose CAS 25/04/2022.
- 1.6 The Acting Control Prosecutor, unaware of the other docket, perused CAS 43/04/2022, and decided that there were sufficient grounds to prosecute. The matter was enrolled in the normal course of events and proceeded to trial on 07 November 2022.
2. AD QUESTION 2:

Jacobs, Dr KL to ask the Minister of Health
(a) What are the relevant details of the challenges his department is facing in dealing with provinces that underspend on their allocated budgets and (b) how does his department intend to overcome the specified challenges as the health system and the ability of his department to deliver on its mandate of providing accessible, quality health care is negatively impacted?
Reply:
a) The underspending within infrastructure funding amongst others, are mostly due to unforeseen incidents such as floods, construction interruption by communities, inability of service providers to deliver in time, which result in termination of contracts.
Current antiretroviral (ARVs) contracts within HIV&AIDS program were awarded at much lower rates compared to previous contracts, this has resulted in savings and in underspending while much needed drugs were delivered.
b) The department has started with the mid-year conditional spending reviews to identify the provinces with challenges. The conditional grant spending reviews includes the assessment of grant framework and improvement plans from the provinces.
All provinces are due to submit the revised business plans to shift funds from underperforming activities to ensure improved spending and provision of quality health care. Stopping and reallocation process will be completed before beginning of January 2024 to shift funds from underperforming provinces.

Seitlholo, Mr IS to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
With reference to his department’s resolve to intensify its Operation Bring Back campaign, what (a) total number of the more than 1 200 state-owned properties that have been illegally occupied, hijacked and/or sold have been reacquired and (b) are the details of the general state of the properties?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
There is a need for the Department to conduct forensic investigation in order to determine:
- The total number of properties that are illegally occupied, hijacked/ or sold.
- In addition to the above, the Department shall use the professional services (Structural engineers) to determine the condition and general state of the illegally occupied properties.
The terms of reference and procurement strategy are at “ready to go on the market” to source the assistance of competent service providers on the forensic audit of all hijacked and illegally occupied state owned properties.
The project would enable the Department to quantify with accuracy, the total number of state owned properties which are illegally occupied, hijacked and /or sold.

Graham, Ms SJ to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
What progress has been made on the sale of the existing Head Office building of the Independent Development Trust?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
Considerable progress has been made to date, albeit the process was delayed by having to obtain a recent Valuation Report, as the last valuation was outdated. The IDT has received a Valuation Report with a validity of up to 31 December 2023. The next step would be to table the Head Office Building Submission to the Asset Disposal Committee; inform the National Treasury; and request approval of the sale of the Head Office Building from the Executive Authority. However, these processes have not been undertaken, as the Board did not approve the proposed Head Office Lease Agreement, as explained in the response to National Assembly Question number 918 of 2023.

Mjobo, Ms LN to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
Whether the Expanded Public Works Programme has met its target for the creation of employment in the current financial year; if not, why not; if so, (a) what are the relevant details and (b) in which sectors of the economy were the employment opportunities created?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
The final results for Quarter 2 of the 2023/24 fiscal year will be officially released by the end of October 2023. As of October 13, 2023, the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) has showcased a commendable performance, with a total of 637 875 work opportunities reported for 2023/24 by 322 public entities. This achievement represents 61.4% of the annual target of 1 038 742 work opportunities, indicating a strong progression towards reaching the 2023/24 target. The performance is above the 50% benchmark expected at the end of the 2nd quarter of the 2023/24 financial year.
(a) These reported work opportunities had an average duration of 48 person-days, leading to the disbursement of a substantial sum, amounting to R4 814 010 947, which is paid in wages to the EPWP participants. The average wage for the work opportunities created was R156.66. 452 927 of the work opportunities created were filled by women, 238 796 by youth, and 4 624 by persons with disabilities.
(b) The different sectors, namely the Infrastructure, Social, Environment & Culture and Non-State within the EPWP, all contributed to the creation of work opportunities. The Social Sector led the way, having already achieved 80% of its annual work opportunity target. Following closely behind were the Environment and Culture Sector, which achieved 60.9% of its target, and the Non-State Sector, registering at 60.1% of the target. The Infrastructure Sector has also made an important contribution, reaching 53.2% of its annual work opportunity target. All sectors are above the 50% benchmark expected at the end of the 2nd quarter of the financial year.

Zondo, Mr S S to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
Whether he has found that his department is on track to achieve the objectives set out in its 2023 Annual Performance Plan; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of what has been achieved so far?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
Based on verified Quarter 1 report the level of performance per key performance (KPI) is on track at an average of 95% performance. In terms of targets achieved in the quarter under review, a total of 29 targets were reported of which 12 were achieved above the 90% threshold as per the DPWI performance legend. This represents about 41% level of targets achieved. The Quarter 2 performance information is still being verified for accuracy.
The following programme experience challenges:
- Construction Project Management Programme
The level of KPI performance is at 65%. However, in terms of targets achieved, no targets were reached above the 90% threshold. The challenges experienced include change of project scope from Repair & Renovation to Capital Project due to status of facilities. Secondly, delays experienced in the appointment of the structural engineers. There were also delays in the confirmation of funds by the client Departments thus affecting the procurement process. Of significant impact has been the termination of contracts due to poor performance as well as extension of time being applied for by contractors. The Department has however put initiatives to mitigate these challenges to enhance performance.
- Real Estate Management Services Programme
The Department is on track on all seven indicators with few challenges where interventions were put in place to improve performance in the second quarter
- Facilities Management Programme
The Department is progressing well on the utilisation of preventative term contracts geared towards reducing reactive maintenance. However, challenges are still experienced on the area of critical components assessed to determine the conditions of components (lifts, boilers, HVAC and Gensets and Water systems).

Hicklin, Ms MB to ask the Minister of Health
Whether his department has taken any steps to assist the National Health Laboratory Service to recover the more than R1,2 billion owed to it by provincial departments of health; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The Department of Health has continuously encouraged the provincial DoH’s to pay the NHLS for all services rendered and continue to support the NHLS in this matter and the debt is treated as a priority.
The NHLS CEO has advised that she is in continuous engagement with the provincial Heads of Department (HODs) to follow up on the outstanding debt and to ensure that all payments owed are received in full and timeously. Given the declines in provincial health budgets the debt has unfortunately been increasing. The NHLS is fortunately in a significant positive financial status. The National Department of Health is kept up to date and informed of the debt owed by the provincial Departments of Health.

Tetyana, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
In light of the ongoing sewage pollution threatening the Vaal River, a crucial water source for millions of persons, what specific steps is his department taking to (a) safeguard public health, (b) reduce contamination and (c) ensure sustainable water access for affected communities?
Reply:
(a-b)The Department is implementing an intervention in terms of Section 63 of the National Water Services Act through the Sedibeng Sewer Scheme Project and Vaal River System Intervention in the Sedibeng District. Rand Water, the Implementing Agent is making satisfactory progress on the various projects that are currently under implementation.
However, sewer spillages in all municipal areas remain a challenge where repairs or unblocking of lines are delayed or where pumpstations are overloaded. Where sewer spillages occur and are brought to the Department’s attention, these are investigated, and Directives issued to rapidly address such pollution incidents. The Department is continuously monitoring the quality of water resources and effluent discharges. In addition, those with water use authorisation are required to meet the norms and standards. The Blue and Green Drop Certification programmes intensify monitoring of municipal service provision by ensuring that the entire value chain is assessed. These assessments enable the Department to have a targeted approach where diagnosis is done on municipal performance. The risks are identified, and water services authorities are required to address root causes.
Though raw water is drawn from rivers and dams, it is treated in Water Treatment Works and the treated water is required by law to meet drinking water standards set by the South African Bureau of Standards in South African National Standard (SANS) 241.
(c) The Department has a five-year reliability plan which identifies levels of access and other aspects of water services standards where a holistic plan is developed and implemented for each water services authority using the District Development Model and the various grant funding streams are used for water and sanitation infrastructure upgrades and refurbishments.

Whether he has records of the total number of (a) short-term and (b) long-term employees under the Expanded Public Works Programme; if not, why not; if so, what are the statistics in each province?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
a) The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) as the overall coordinator of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) has a reporting system which allows the capturing of EPWP work opportunities by implementers across all the spheres of government. The EPWP Reporting System (EPWP-RS) contains information captured during the implementation of the EPWP Phase IV which started in the 2019/20 financial year to date for short term and long term opportunities. The different programmes captured on the system vary in terms of duration with some implemented over a short term period while others are implemented over a long term duration. The duration of participation for the EPWP participants is linked to the duration of the different programmes implemented. Table 1 on the next page shows a summary of EPWP participants on short-term programmes in the different provinces

Zondo, Mr S S to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
Whether his department has any (a) short-term and (b) long-term plans in place to ensure cooperation with other departments to ensure the longevity of the Expanded Public Works Programme whilst providing sustainable youth employment; if not, why not in each case; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
a) The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) has been mandated by Cabinet to oversee the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). Collaboration between the DPWI and other government departments are essential to achieving the creation of work opportunities across the different spheres of government, including targeting 55% participation of youth in the EPWP projects. In this context, a number of mechanisms and partnerships are in place to maintain continued cooperation and collaboration with different public bodies covering the short- to medium-term timeframes, including:
i. Cooperative coordinating mechanisms that enable dialogue on matters impacting the EPWP among all public entities. Amongst these coordination structures is the EPWP National Coordinating Committee (NCC) comprising the EPWP EXCO and Lead Sector Departments (i.e. Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Department of Social Development and Department of Public Works) and all Provincial Departments of Public Works. Furthermore, similar coordination structures exist at a provincial and municipal district level.
ii. Additionally, there are short-term partnerships in place which focus on training and enterprise development promoting youth unemployment. Amongst these partnership are the following; the National Skills Fund for funding of training initiatives in the programme, Agricultural Sector Education Training Authority (AgriSETA) for the training of participants in various trades towards certification as artisans as well as with the Financial Service Conduct Authority (FSCA) for training of participants on basic financial literacy.
iii. Through a partnership with the International Labour Organisation, a partnership for the provision of the Start and Improve Your Business Programme training for participants who want to venture into enterprises post their participation in the EPWP has been put in place.
iv. In addition, the DPWI is in partnership with other departments and the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) through the National Pathway Management Network coordinated by the Department of Employment and Labour to optimise the participation of youth in the different EPWP programmes.
b) In terms of long-term plans, the DPWI is currently engaging different stakeholders to finalise EPWP phase V proposals planned to be submitted to Cabinet for approval for implementation from 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2029. In addition, the DPWI is engaging the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services (MerSETA) and the AgriSETA to secure additional funding on training initiatives to ensure impactful outcomes. Likewise the DPWI is working with the Department of Defence (DoD) to identify other training areas that the DoD can support. It is anticipated that the present collaboration with the FSCA will continue in providing foundational financial literacy to new recruits in the EPWP. Engaging the private sector to help with finance and job placements for experiential learning for participants in the EPWP for different Learnership programmes is also another area being considered for the long term.

With reference to his department’s plans to partner with and lease out state owned properties to the private sector with the purpose of the private sector being responsible for the maintenance of the property, what total number of (a) state-owned properties have been leased out to the private sector from 1 January 2019 to date and (b) the specified properties have been released back to his department in a well-maintained condition
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure has conceptualised a programme called Refurbish, Operate and Transfer Programme (ROTP). In terms of the programme, the Department is planning to lease out state owned properties to the private sector through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) for the sector to refurbish, lease out and maintain such properties over a period of time and hand them back to the state in a functional state.
Five (5) properties, namely, (Telkom Towers, Cervitas Building, Public Works House, Police Barracks and Department of Defence Flats) have been identified in the City of Tshwane as pilot projects and the procurement process is expected to start at the end of the fourth quarter.
- No property has been leased out as yet as the process is still in its conceptual stage.
- No property has been released back either.

Roos, Mr AC to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
In view of the increase in the number of undocumented learners in schools in the Republic from 457 917 in 2021 to 796 829 in 2022, with unaffordable DNA tests given as one of the contributing factors, (a) on what date will he introduce free DNA testing for indigent South African parents and (b) what are the reasons for the delay?
Reply:
(a)&(b)
The fees and tariffs for DNA tests are administered by the National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS). The National Health Laboratory Service is a South African national government institution established in terms of the National Health Laboratory Service Act 2000 (Act 37 of 2000) to provide quality, affordable, and sustainable health laboratory and related public health services to all public healthcare providers and other government institutions. The Department of Home Affairs therefore does not have the mandate to waive DNA test fees. However, the Department is in the process of updating the Memorandum of Understanding on collaboration that it has with the Department of Health, wherein the issue of waiving fees for DNA tests for indigent people is included.

Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
What are the details of the steps that his department has taken to ensure that more black youth makes a breakthrough into the technology industry?
Reply:
There are a number of initiatives that the DCDT, working with its State-Owned Companies and the private sector, are rolling out to ensure more black youth enter the technology industry.
The following projects are being implemented to aggressively provide opportunities for Black youth in the ICT subsectors:
- The SA Connect programme, whose primary aim is to expand digital infrastructure through broadband network deployment, intends to empower SMMEs and create jobs;
- To support the digital economy and encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, the DCDT aims to train 90 000 beneficiaries on cellphone repairs, software development, cloud technologies, Web/App development and podcasting, amongst others. These areas are prioritised as they have the potential to increase the employability of young people and empower them to create cooperatives so as to provide services in their local areas;
- The Youth Internet Service Provider Project has a long-term goal of having more young people and youth-owned SMMEs being fully-fledged Internet Service Providers. Young people are trained as domain name resellers and, later, are upgraded to become domain name registrars. The project trains 50 young people per province;
- The department is involved in the Digitization of Youth Enterprises, which is a pilot project with 30 enterprises, focusing on the impact and requirements for digitization by youth enterprises to fully participate in e-commerce. It also seeks to maximize their digital online presence;
- A pilot project to create The Digital Media and Film Indaba is presently being finalised by the DCDT. It has targeted over 300 young people from rural areas. Umsinga was identified as one of the areas that has seen several popular short films and telenovelas (e.g., Isibaya) being shot in different sites;
- The DCDT has, through NEMISA, integrated Digital Entrepreneurship training in some of its programmes to enable young people to start their own businesses. In the Creative/Audio Visual Industry, the following programmes are being implemented in the current financial year:
- 2D Animation Bootcamp: Digital Literacy, and Design Foundation (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
- Graphic Design Bootcamp: Digital Literacy, and Design Foundation (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
- Interactive Media Bootcamp: Digital Literacy, and Design Foundation (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
- Drawing Workshop Eastern Cape: Non-accredited workshop (Cortex Hub: Eastern Cape)
- Radio Project: Radio Production (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
- Film Project: Film and Television Production (SABC Campus: Gauteng)
- Radio Project: Radio Production (Mpumalanga: Nelspruit)
- Radio Project: Radio Production (NWU Free State & Northern Cape)
- And, finally, the DCDT, in collaboration with SITA, developed a South African digital marketplace portal referred to as DigiTech. The purpose of the DigiTech Programme is to collate data about digital products developed locally with the aim of supporting the products’ technology enablement, promoting, and expanding their market reach. The DCDT is forging partnerships with global and local ICT companies who have existing sponsorship and mentorship programmes to support DigiTech SMMEs. The industry companies will also support the DigiTech SMMEs with technical vetting and categorisation of their digital products and SMME Development Support (access to funding, markets and skills development).
Thank You.

Nodada, Mr BB to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(a) What are the processes and protocols of her department for monitoring infrastructure projects at schools and (b) how often are projects monitored and/or evaluated?
Reply:
(a) Monitoring addresses planning, project implementation and project management, including time, quality and budget/expenditure in a project. These are interrogated and a sample of projects are visited. Based on the findings from these visits, remedial actions are devised with the province and monitored by the DBE.
•Monitoring deals with both programme and project matters;
- Programme matters include;
-The pattern of overall expenditure being achieved;
-Comparisons of expenditure to projected cash flows;
-Progress being made with key groups of projects [e.g. Water, sanitation, maintenance, new schools, additional classrooms etc.]
-Management of the portfolio of projects [i.e. evidence that the programme of projects is being managed effectively through the project cycle]
- •At the Project level the focus is on ensuring ;
-that PSP appointments are being made;
- that planning and design processes are progressing;
-that the appointment of contractors is progressing, that construction is progressing satisfactorily, [i.e. on programme, on budget, at acceptable quality…];
and that projects are being handed over and closed out and that final accounts are being wrapped up.
(b) Monitoring can be conducted through various means as follows:
-Ministry and DG Infrastructure meetings; Meetings with individual implementing agents; DG meetings with CEO's of implementing agents and operational meetings with implementing agents
-Site visits by the Director General; Site visits by the Infrastructure unit, Site visits by the programme Support Unit.
- Provincial officials attend monthly site meetings with Professional Service Providers and contractors ; and
- as well as ad hoc / unannounced visits to projects.

Hlengwa, Mr M to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
Amid widespread calls and protest action to close the Israeli Embassy in Pretoria, what (a) is the Republic’s official position on hosting the Embassy and (b) are the relevant details and reasons for taking such position?
Reply:
South Africa cannot have normal relations with Israel, as long as the latter is unwilling to sincerely negotiate a peace plan without preconditions with Palestine. South Africa cannot be a party in any way to Israel’s plans and actions that would see the ideal of Palestinian statehood reduced into balkanised entities devoid of true sovereignty, without territorial contiguity and with no economic viability. However, breaking of diplomatic relations with Israel will be counterproductive as it will also affect our Representative Office in Ramallah, Palestine and by implication weaken the meaningful role that South Africa can play in the Palestinian cause.
The Government of South Africa will be considering the various calls made to further downgrade its diplomatic relations with Israel given the flagrant breaches of international law, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. South Africa has called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate these crimes which fall under its jurisdiction. A decision to downgrade will, further, need to consider whether it may impact negatively on South Africa’s ability to maintain a diplomatic presence in Palestine, which is the only link the country has to the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including Gaza. Nonetheless, the demands for a downgrade have merit. South Africa will discuss this with all relevant stakeholders to assess the approach the country takes to our diplomatic relations with Israel given the current situation in the region.

(e) Steps taken by the SACAA to improve air safety in the Western Cape?
The responsibility to reduce the number of accidents in general aviation is not the sole responsibility of the Regulator but of the industry who are required to comply to the standards set by the Regulator. The Regulator develops regulations, technical standards and guidance material to assist the industry to comply. At appropriate times and where negligence and non-compliance are evident, the Regulator takes enforcement actions against those affected operators and licence holders.
In terms of the number of accidents, the Western Cape accounts for the second largest number of accidents in the country. Over and above the safety recommendations issued by investigators to relevant operators and parties, the SACAA developed a General Aviation Safety Strategy (GASS) with industry to reduce the number of accidents in the general aviation sector where the above accidents are prevalent.
The solutions and activities undertaken by the Regulator and industry include developing educational guidance material to address the most pressing and common causes of accidents as informed by the investigation reports, publishing articles in a special publication developed for this purpose and undertaking a number of safety awareness and promotion events such as seminars, workshops, etc. with industry.
The reduction in the number of accidents realised just in the past two financial years i.e., 2021/22 and 2022/23, is an indication that the efforts of the GASS are bearing positive results for example, there has been a reduction in the number of accidents country-wide by 15% and a reduction of 25% in fatal accidents as well as a 29% reduction in fatalities meaning that fewer people perished as a result of aircraft accidents in the GA sector in the past financial year.

Zondo, Mr S S to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
Whether he has any actionable immediate plans in place to give effect to the restructuring of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) to ensure sustainable employment; if not; why not; if so, (a) on what date were the plans adopted by the Government, (b) what are the details of what has been implemented thus far and (c) what is the total amount of the budget that has been allocated for the implementation of the restructured EPWP?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
Three priority areas have been identified for implementation starting from the 2023–24 fiscal year in order to introduce urgent actionable plans to give effect to the restructuring of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) for ensuring sustainable employment. Projects in these priority areas will be implemented with an emphasis on improving participant skills and entrepreneurial outcomes through training. Public bodies in the different spheres of government will implement projects in the identified priority areas as follows:
(i) Road upgrading and maintenance interventions related to pothole patching and block paving;
(ii) Cleaning of public spaces and waste management including the cleaning of public buildings; and
(iii) Clean energy interventions related retrofitting of government buildings and solar installations.
To this end, in my capacity as the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure mandated to lead the EPWP, I have engaged with various EPWP stakeholders from all spheres of government to focus on the approach of implementing the above-mentioned priority areas.
a) The plans were not adopted on a particular date but have been communicated with different public bodies and are different stages of implementation depending on the plans of the different public bodies.
b) The projects that have been implemented so far in the different priority areas are as follows:
(i) Road upgrading and maintenance
A total of 144 block paving and Pothole patching projects with 14, 424 work opportunities have been implemented by provincial roads departments and municipalities so far in the 2023/24 financial year.
(ii) Cleaning of public spaces and waste management
A total of 912 cleaning and Waste Management projects with 74, 642 work opportunities reported have been implemented by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Provincial Departments of the Environment, Municipalities and the Department of Public Works & Infrastructure so far in the 2023/ 24 financial year.
(iii) Clean Energy
There are no clean energy projects currently implemented, however, pre-project planning activities are being finalised to ensure implementation in the current financial year.
c) Leveraging from the existing budgets (i.e. Provincial Roads Management Grant, Municipal Infrastructure Grant, Department of Fisheries, Forestry and the Environment Budget Vote, Department of Public Works and Infrastructure Budget Vote, EPWP Integrated Grant to Municipalities and Integrated Grant to Provinces) a total budget of R4.074 Billion has been identified to implement 1,101 projects under these focus areas, with 101,894 work opportunities projected to be created by public bodies and reported within the 2023/24 financial year.
13 November 2023 - NW3267
Makesini, Ms M to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
What (a) (i) is the total number of incomplete housing projects in the Free State and (ii) time frames have been put in place to complete such projects and (b) are the relevant details in this regard?
Reply:

The MOA was finalised on the 17th of October 2023. A round robin approach has been proposed to get signatures of the 3 accounting officers.
b) The date on which the court rooms will be operational, will be informed by the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement by all parties.

Reply:
a) The table below shows the number of foreigner related payments processed for the period by regional office.
b) The table below shows the value / amount of capital paid to foreigner related claims for the period by regional office.
c) The RAF is unable to indicate the status of documented and undocumented claimants that have been paid in the last three years as requested, as no such an indicator exists in the claims system.
However, the RAF has in line with Section 17(l) has to ensure that the accident happened “… at any place within the Republic”. The RAF has issued a directive to ensure that every foreigner submits a stamped passport indicating that they were in the Republic when the accident occurred.
Furthermore, Section 44 of the Immigration Act compels RAF as an organ of state to “ascertain the status or citizenship of the persons receiving its services and shall report to the Director-General any alleged foreigner or any person whose status or citizenship could not be ascertained”.
d) The RAF has, however, implemented controls to confirm foreign claimants’ mortality status prior to payment release. This process requires verification of passports, or asylum confirmation documents to ensure that only documented foreign claimants are compensated.
