Profile picture: Mulder, Dr CP

Mulder, Dr CP to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

(a) How many (i) public servants and (ii) Ministers have received legal and financial support from the state annually since 1 January 2014 during court cases arising from the execution of their duties and (b) what were the costs related to each specified case; (2) in how many cases have such civil servants and Ministers forfeited their administrative protection; (3) whether the financial expenses associated with such forfeited cases have been recouped from the said civil servants and Ministers; if not, why not; if so, what is the extent of the financial expenses recouped in each case; (4) whether he will make a statement about the matter?

Reply:

I have been informed by the Office of the Acting Chief Litigation Officer as follows:

(1)(a)(i) 526 public servants; and (ii) 4 Ministers; and (b) the statistics concerned regarding the costs, have not been kept separately, because they are managed in the normal processes and kept with all other files, which are allocated to a State Attorney if and when such an application is brought. The costs that could be sourced, are indicated in the tables below.

(2) None. In the normal processes in State Attorneys’ Offices, such statistics are not kept separately, but are kept with all other normal files and allocated to a State Attorney if and when such an application is brought. In respect of the Heads of Department, Chief Financial Officers and Members of the Executive Council who applied for State cover, no separate record or statistics of such matters, were kept.

(3) No, because I have been informed that it is mostly SAPS members who are faced with this situation; and SAPS recoup the money themselves. The SAPS members sign an undertaking to pay before the matter is referred to the State Attorneys’ Offices and SAPS executes it internally.

(4) No such statement is necessary.

Regarding the Mahikeng State Attorneys’ Office, the information as received from the Office of the State Attorney, is that the State Attorneys have represented Ministers in all claims. This was however in the official (normal) capacity and not in their personal capacity. The State Attorney, Mahikeng is therefore not aware of any Minister who forfeited administrative protection. Therefore the Head of the Office informs me that there are no such cases.

The Office of the State Attorney has also represented individual officials in their official capacities who were cited as co-defendants with the relevant Minister. The State Attorney is not aware of any of those officials who forfeited their administrative protection. Therefore the Head of Office informs me that there are no such cases.

As the Office has not kept statistics of this nature before, it is not possible to provide a breakdown of the costs incurred in respect of all these cases. In this respect, I am informed that there are no costs to report on, as there were no such cases where the Minister, Member of the Executive Council (MEC) or Officials have applied for legal representation in their personal capacity.

(1) Cricket South Africa signs Non-Disclosure Agreements with its partners and is therefore not at liberty to indicate the amount of the deal.

(2) CSA signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Mr Lorgat and thus cannot indicate the settlement amount. However Mr Lorgat may be approached by the individual, institution or organization seeking the information.

Profile picture: Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP

Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

(1)What is the reason that public technical and vocational education and training colleges that offer qualifications from Level 2 to 4 deny entry to learners who graduate at Level 2 from skills schools and who wish to improve their qualifications beyond this level; (2) whether her department will be exploring options for such learners to be able to improve their skills and formal qualifications at public institutions; if so, (a) what would be required of such an exploratory study and (b) by what date does she expect to report regarding her findings in this regard; (3) whether she will be engaging with both the Department of Basic Education and her department in order to create a learning pathway in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (4) what options are there currently for such learners to improve their formal qualifications on a full-time basis?

Reply:

1. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges cannot deny access to students based on the fact that they come from skills schools. All students who apply to colleges must meet the institution’s admission criteria. Some applicants might not meet the academic criteria for their vocational or occupational programme of choice, because the skills schools are essentially special schools focussing on practical skills and do not offer NQF level 2 qualifications.

2. Where students do not meet the academic criteria, 45 TVET colleges will from
January 2019 offer the Pre-vocational Learning Programme (PLP), which is designed to strengthen the learning foundations of students who wish to study further in the vocational qualifications offered by the chosen college. This is a one-year programme comprising of Foundational Language, Foundational Mathematics, Foundational Science and Life Skills (which includes basic computer literacy). Such students may then ideally articulate into occupational qualifications offered at NQF levels 1 - 2, or even the National Certificate (Vocational) [NC(V)] if the learner is in a position to and wishes to pursue a broader vocational pathway.

(a) The Department is currently in the process of configuring the suite of programmes to be offered in the Community Education and Training (CET) colleges so that other options will be available to learners from skills schools. There are 25 skills schools in Gauteng and 22 in the Western Cape, while the other provinces have between 1 to 5 such schools. The Department will be requesting its Regional Managers to engage with Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) to link these schools to TVET and CET colleges so that opportunities for these students can be mapped out as a collaborative initiative.

9b) The process is in its early stages and therefore data cannot be provided at this stage.

3. Engagements with the Department of Basic Education are already underway on a number of programmes and qualifications affecting the two Departments. The overall intention is to create a comprehensive and integrated public education system, which addresses issues of duplication, as well as gaps in learning pathways.

4. Depending on the competencies of the learners from the skills school, they may access the NC(V) qualifications (if they have the equivalent of a Grade 9 or the General Education and Training Certificate for Adults), N1 programmes or NQF level 2 occupational qualifications offered in TVET colleges. They may gain access either directly or through the PLP programme. Colleges are required to administer baseline tests in language and Mathematics to make this determination.

Profile picture: Marais, Mr S

Marais, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans

(1)(a) What was the basis of the 23,1 % increase in the salaries of employees of the Armaments Corporation of South Africa (Armscor) in the 2017-18 financial year, (b) how were the specified salary increases justified against a lower budget and (c) why are there no correlations between internal targets of employees and the core function activities of Armscor; (2) whether Armscor utilised reserve funds to fund the increase in employee salaries; (3) what are the relevant details of the (a) salary increases of Armscor employees since 1 April 2018, including a detailed breakdown of (i) salary increases and bonuses for senior management service employees and (ii) any other benefits for employees such as free hunting trips and the Cape Town Jazz Festival, (b) basis for the increases and (c) source fund(s) from which the increases will be funded?

Reply:

1. (a) The basis of the increase can be summarised as follows:

(i) The redress of unjustifiable wage gaps between people doing the same job or work that is similar. This parity project was initiated as a result of the new Labour Law amendments on equal pay for same or similar work or work of equal value. In so doing Armscor followed the prescribed Gazetted Regulations.

(ii) It is also attributable to the internal promotions across the organisation in line with the corporate Promotion Practice.

(iii) There was also the filling of vacancies that were vacant in the previous financial year.

(iv) During the last six financial years the Discovery medical premiums increased at an average of 9.1% per annum.

(v) There was insourcing of contractors from across the organisation.

(vi) The annual increases of 7.5% contributed to the total amount.

(vii) Lastly Voluntary Severance Packages for about 30 employees were paid to those who opted to leave the organisation

1. (b) Salary increases were justified in the sense that Armscor needed to comply with legislation as well as ensuring that the organisation remains competitive and is able to attract and retain the highly sought after skills that are necessary in ensuring that it delivers work of superior quality.

These increases were projected and budgeted for. Armscor has also adopted a strict policy in filling vacancies that are critical to the operations of the organisation by optimising the utilisation of these resources hence deriving huge operational savings as depicted in the pie chart below. These savings amounted to R22,4m in total.

1. (c) Armscor is of the view that there is a correlation between the internal targets and core functions of the organisation. For example, acquisition targets relating to the turnaround times for placing orders formed part of the corporate score card.

QUESTION 2

(2) Whether Armscor utilised reserve funds to fund the increase in employee salaries;

RESPONSE

Armscor did not utilise reserves to fund salary increases; as stated these were projected and absorbed in the cost savings with the exception of voluntary severance packages which were provided for in the reserves.

QUESTION 3

(3) what are the relevant details of the (a) salary increases of Armscor employees since 1 April 2018, including a detailed breakdown of (i) salary increases and bonuses for senior management service employees and (ii) any other benefits for employees such as free hunting trips and the Cape Town Jazz Festival, (b) basis for the increases and (c) source fund(s) from which the increases will be funded?

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

(1)Whether all educators at the Sharp Edge Training and Consulting are qualified; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether all students at the institution have been paid their stipends; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether she has found that there is corruption taking place at the specified institution; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

  1. Based on the information obtained from the Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs), educators at Sharp Edge are qualified to facilitate training. Sharp Edge Training and Consulting is accredited by the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (MerSETA) and Transport Education Training Authority (TETA) to offer training in trades such as welder, automotive body repairer and spray painter trades, automotive machining and fitting, boiler making and turning. Availability of qualified facilitators is part of the accreditation criteria that an institution should meet before accreditation is granted.
  2. The learners and staff have not been paid stipends and salaries since September 2018. TETA disbursed funds to Sharp Edge; however, these funds were misused by the management of Sharp Edge for other projects. TETA will be taking over the project and redeploying the learners to other training providers for the completion of their training. This will take effect on 13 December 2018. The stipends will be paid to the learners for the remainder of the training period.
  3. Due to Sharp Edge misusing funds intended for the development of learners, the contract between TETA and Sharp Edge has been terminated. TETA will ensure that the learners in this project are assisted in completing their training programmes by redeploying them to another training provider.

Reply:

(1) Honourable Member, none of our Missions abroad are not allowing South Africans to register to vote. This could never be because it would be unlawful to do so. Arrangements are being made to facilitate the registration process. In this regard, an agreement is being concluded with the IEC which would outline how my Department and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) will cooperate with each other to facilitate the registration and voting process for South Africans abroad.

(2) The IEC and my Department issued a communique on 7th December 2018 indicating that Voter registration for South African citizens living abroad will take place at all South African foreign missions from 1 to 4 February 2019.

(3) The IEC is the appointed institution to administer and oversee the 2019 General Elections, both in South Africa and abroad, and as such, is the responsible institution to encourage South Africans to register and vote, both in South Africa and abroad. The Missions and Embassies will be available to assist to the extent required by the IEC.

Every party registered for the election has its own vested interest to encourage South Africans living abroad to exercise their right and vote. I hope your party is also playing its part in rallying South Africans to register and vote.

What (a) were some of the key discussions that featured during the Indian Ocean Conference that took place from 27 to 28 August 2018 in Hanoi, Vietnam and (b) are the objectives and policy priorities of the South African chairmanship of the Indian Ocean Rim Association?

Reply:

(a) The third (3rd) Indian Ocean Conference took place in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam under the theme “Building Regional Architecture” from 27-28 August 2018. The event focused almost exclusively on the concept of the Indo-Pacific region, a new concept in international relations being espoused and advanced by the United States and India.

South Africa is encouraged by the focus that the Indian Ocean Region is receiving of late, with several international conferences highlighting the importance of the Indian Ocean Region as a leading region with the potential to contribute to global security, economic growth, and sustainable development.  South Africa’s view, as advanced at the conference in Vietnam, is that the future of the Indian Ocean Region must be centered on the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA). South Africa views IORA as the pre-eminent regional organization linking Africa, Middle East, Asia and Australasia via the Indian Ocean, as encapsulated in our theme for our Chairship (2017-2019) of “IORA: Uniting the Peoples of Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Middle East through Enhanced Co-operation for Peace, Stability and Sustainable Development”.  This theme encompasses South Africa’s view that the Indian Ocean Region should be characterized as a region of peace, stability and development; and we view IORA as the primary regional organisation with which to pursue this ambitious goal. 

(b) Priorities for South Africa as Chair of IORA include the following:

  1. Realising Over-Arching consensus principles, i.e. commitment to sustainably advancing peace, stability and development by strengthening cooperation, partnership, and constructive dialogue to promote the welfare and livelihood for its people.
  2. Striving for Continuity of leadership;
  3. Strengthen the work programme of IORA;
  4. Consolidate IORA’s membership;
  5. Strengthen relations with IORA’s Dialogue Partners;
  6. Enhance partnership with international organisations;
  7. Support for the African Agenda;
  8. Strengthen IORA mechanisms;
  9. Improve the functional efficiency of the Chair; and
  10. Strengthening the capacity of the Secretariat

What is the total amount that the country pays to each international organisation of which it is a member?

Reply:

Membership of an international organisation means that while joining the body and enjoying the privileges and advantages of membership, this also comes with a financial obligation for the state joining. South Africa is a member of a number of international organisations. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation is responsible for administering South Africa’s relations with the principal mainstream multilateral and regional organisations, these being the United Nations, the African Union, the Southern African Development Community and the Commonwealth. The figures reflected below indicate the assessed membership contributions payable by South Africa for 2018. Other national departments are responsible for their membership payments for membership of international specialised agencies, funds and programmes (technical organisations). In this regard, specific questions should be directed to the respective departments.

Reply:

I wish to remind the Honourable Member that the provision of names when responding to Parliamentary Questions is not permissible according to practise applicable to parliamentary questions and guidelines contained in the document titled, “Guide to Parliamentary Questions in the National Assembly”. The document referred to prohibits Members of Parliament, including the Executive, from divulging names of persons, bodies when asking or responding to parliamentary questions. It states the following:

Questions are to be framed as concisely as possible. All unnecessary adjectives, references and quotations are omitted. Names of persons, bodies and, for example, newspapers are only used in questions if the facts surrounding the case have been proven. As the mere mention of such names could be construed as publicity for or against them, it should be clear that this practice is highly undesirable. If a question will be unintelligible without mentioning such names, the Departments concerned are notified of the name (-s) and this phrase is used: ".......a certain person (name furnished)”

Further, at the end of each financial year, we table annual reports with audited financial statements containing the information requested by the Honourable Member.

Whether he has taken any steps to investigate allegations relating to the alleged irregular and/or unlawful appointment of persons in the Ministry of Transport (details furnished); if not, why not; if so, (a) what progress has been made and (b) what was the conclusion reached?

Reply:

(a) – (b) The allegations referred to by the Honourable Member were made in the form of an anonymous letter circulated to various government entities, including the Presidency.

I am informed that the Public Service Commission, one of the recipients of the anonymous letter, determined after correspondence with the Department of Transport that it will not take action due to the fact that it would be difficult to obtain further and more detailed particulars from an anonymous complainant.

We would urge any individuals who have evidence of irregular or unlawful appointments to make use of the proper channels.

In this regard, it is worth mentioning that the Minister of Public Service and Administration did receive another letter from a former employee of the Department of Transport making similar allegations.

In line with the Public Service Act, the Minister of Public Service and Administration has begun a process to ascertain the veracity of the allegations.

The work to ascertain the veracity of the allegations has not yet been concluded. The Department of Public Service and Administration is in contact with the Department of Transport to ascertain whether the appointment of persons in the Ministry of Transport is compliant to the Public Service Act and other relevant prescripts.

Once the work has been concluded, a report will be submitted to the Minister of Public Service and Administration. Further enquiry on these allegations should be directed to the Minister of Public Service and Administration.

Shivambu, Mr F to ask the President of the Republic

(1)Whether, with reference to the additional information he provided in respect of oral question 19 on Friday, 16 November 2018, he received any donation in his official capacity from African Global Operations (Bosasa) since his term in the office of the Presidency; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) which account was used to pay the donation and (b) what was the donation for; (2) whether he declared all the money donated to him; if not, why not; if so; on what date was it declared? NW4212E

Reply:

1. I have not received any donation, either in my official or any other capacity, from African Global Operations. As I indicated in a letter to the Speaker of the National Asembly on 16 November 2018, the payment to which the Leader of the Opposition referred was made on behalf of Mr Gavin Watson into a trust account that was used to raise funds for a campaign established to support my candidature for the Presidency of the African National Congress.

The donation was sought and obtained without my knowledge, and I was not aware of the existence of the donation at the time that I answered the question in the National Assembly.

2. Since I did not receive any donation from African Global Operations no declaration was necessary.

Profile picture: Filtane, Mr ML

Filtane, Mr ML to ask the MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM

With regard to the current land grabs, which have now spread to rural areas like Zazulwana Village in Butterworth in the Eastern Cape, what steps will she take to prevent the illegal land grabs?

Reply:

While the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform is administratively regarded as the owner of the bulk of land in rural areas, the day to day management of such land, including land allocation, is mainly in the hands of communities that occupy such land. This impacts on the Minister’s ability to pass immediate judgment whether new occupation is lawful or not, unless members of such community or other interested parties bring the fact of unlawful occupation to the attention of the Minister.

Land grabs violate rights of owners, constitute an affront to land use laws and are criminal in nature. An effective response to land grabs in rural areas therefore requires collaboration with, amongst other stakeholders, local government, organised agriculture, traditional leadership and law enforcement agencies. The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform has already commenced with bilateral discussions with each of the abovementioned sectors with a view to, amongst other things, develop prevention mechanisms as well as develop a monitoring system for land grabs, land invasions and land related criminal acts.

Whilst the engagements discussed above are happening, the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform routinely intervenes in clearly identified or reported cases of land grabs. Such interventions take the form of direct engagements with unlawful occupiers, advice to lawful occupants to report cases to the South African Police Service and direct litigation in those instances where it is in the interest of justice to seek the eviction of the unlawful occupiers.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the President of the Republic

Whether he has been informed of the crisis playing out in the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries involving certain persons (details furnished); if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what steps have been taken to resolve the crisis?

Reply:

The Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has apprised me on the allegations levelled against senior officials in his department. He further indicated that disciplinary proceedings for some of the implicated officials are currently underway, while for others, investigations are proceeding. These processes have not yet been concluded and I expect a report from the Minister once they are concluded.

The Minister has assured me that despite these allegations and related processes currently underway, the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is effectively implementing the strategic programmes of the Department.

Profile picture: Matiase, Mr NS

Matiase, Mr NS to ask the MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM

With reference to the reply of the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs to question 2342 on 13 September 2018, for what purpose is each (a) bonded and (b) non-bonded property used in each (i) province and (ii) metropolitan municipality?

Reply:

As reported in Parliamentary question 1569 of 2018, posed to the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform in May 2018, this information falls within the functional competency of municipalities in terms of section 24 of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013. Municipalities are required to record the use of land as part of their land use schemes and are therefore the custodians of this information, not the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform.

Profile picture: Marais, Mr S

Marais, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans

(1)(a) What was the purpose of the visit by a certain official (name and details furnished) to the Russian Federation in November 2018 and (b) how does the purpose of the trip align with the needs and mandate of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) and Armscor; (2) whether the specified person opened a bank account for Armscor in the Russian Federation; if so, (a) what are the relevant details, (b) what are the reasons that the bank account was opened, (c) how does the opening of the bank account align with the objectives of the SANDF and Armscor and (d) what benefits will the SANDF and Armscor reap from opening the specified bank account?

Reply:

QUESTION 1

Armscor’s mandate is to meet the defence materiél requirements of the Department of Defence. Armscor is seeking to collaborate with various countries in the execution of its mandate and the visit was to discuss possible financial arrangements in support of Armscor’s functions and the purpose was therefore, directly aligned with Armscor’s mandate.

QUESTION 2

(2) Armscor did not open any bank account in the Russian Federation.

Profile picture: Lekota, Mr M

Lekota, Mr M to ask the President of the Republic

Whether he intends to assent to the Political Party Funding Bill [B33 of 2017] in time for its implementation prior to the May 2019 Elections; if not why not?

Reply:

I wish to refer Honourable Member to the attached statement that was issued by the Presidency on 15 November 2018 on Bills passed by Parliament and referred to me for signing into law.

As per the statement, the Political Party Funding Bill is one of the Bills that I am currently considering. Due to the importance attached to legislation, I have a constitutional obligation of ensuring that, while expediting the process, a Bill that has been passed into law is not vulnerable to legal challenge and that it is constitutionally complaint. I can assure the Honourable Member that I am applying my mind with the urgency and thoroughness the Bill demands.
