In response to question 1 (a) in relation to violence in stadia:

The former Minister of Sport and Recreation established the FNB Stadium Committee of Inquiry to investigate the facts and reasons that led to the death of two soccer fans and injury to others at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. The FNB Committee of Inquiry was subsequently withdrawn as a result of legal technicalities, hence the current Minister of Sport and Recreation decided to approach the President of the Republic to request his Excellency to consider appointing a fully ledged Commission of Inquiry to investigate the tendency to perpetuate violence in stadia in the Republic by soccer fans inclusive of any other violence in sport (e.g. the violence at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria and more recently at the Moses Mabida in Durban, etc.). The President of the Republic has recently referred the request of the Department to establish a Commission of Inquiry to the Department of Justice and Correctional Services. SubsequenUy a meeting was held between the Ministries of Justice and Sport and Recreation to clarify issues and to seek solutions in the above regard.

In In response to question 1(b) in relation to addressing the problems in the sports confederation:

The SASCOC Committee of Inquiry has already finalised its extensive report (more than 140 pages) with regard to the Sports Confederation and has recently submitted its findings, recommendations and observations inclusive of its Executive Summary to the Minister for her perusal and consideration via the normal Departmental channels. The Minister has already perused the report and concurred wholeheartedly the proposed the recommendations as proposed by the SASCOC Committee of Inquiry.

Subsequently the Minister has submitted the report and its Summary to -

• SASCOC;

• the International Olympic Committee ("IOC");

• the International Paralympic Committee ("IPC");

• Mr. TUBBY REDDY
 

for their respective written responses. All their responses are currently being assimilated so as to put the Minister in a favourable position to apply her mind fully insofar as decisions and actions to be considered on the way forward before releasing the said report.

In response to question 2 in relation to what date does she intend to brief the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation regarding the progress:

In relation to stadia violence, the Minister will brief the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation on the progress with regard to the request to the President of Republic for appointing a formal Commission of Inquiry as and when the issues to be clarified and resolved between the Ministries of Justice and Sport and Recreation as referred to earlier have been finalized.

Moreover, the Minister intends to update the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation regarding the progress in relation to SASCOC Committee of Inquiry in December after applying her mind to the responses that she has now received from SASCOC, the IOC, the IPC and Mr. TUBBY REDDY in relation to the findings, recommendations and observations as proposed by the Committee.

1. The Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) seeks to ensure a restructuring of the economy to set it on a more value-adding, labour-intensive and environmentally sustainable growth path. Since 1 January 2010, the South African manufacturing sector performed as follows compared to developing and developed countries:

Manufacturing value-added (annual % growth) 2010-2017

Country/Level of development	2010	‘11	‘12	‘13	‘14	‘15	‘16	‘17
SA	5.9	3	2.1	1	0.3	-0.3	0.9	-0.1
Developed countries	9.6	2.3	0	0.7	2.8	2.5	1.5	2.8
Developing countries	7.7	2.6	1	0.8	1.5	1.1	1.2	1.3

Source: World Bank

2. (a) During the period 2011 to 2013 South Africa’s manufacturing sector grew at a faster pace compared to the manufacturing sectors of the developed and developing countries. From 2014 onwards our manufacturing sector has broadly mirrored the trend exhibited by the developed and developing countries which indicate periods of expansions and contractions.

(b) The past decade of implementing the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) needs to be understood in relation to the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 and the extended economic crisis which flowed in its wake. The ensuing slump in global demand for many of South Africa commodities resulted in a slowing down of exports and investment in South Africa. In addition, surplus global capacity in the production of many key commodities has created huge challenges for South African manufacturing.

These factors combined with significant domestic economic shocks including, sharply rising and bunched up administered prices, deterioration in basic economic service delivery by key state owned companies and economic infrastructure constraints, skills deficit and mismatches negatively impacted the domestic economy and the re- industrialisation effort through IPAP.

(c ) The Black Industrialist Scheme has been established to facilitate the inclusion and participation of black industrialists in the South African economy. The intention of the Scheme is to contribute towards shifting the demographic composition of South Africa’s industrial sector and to engage under-utilised sources of jobs, revenue, taxes and innovation through the Black Industrialist Scheme.

(d) The Scheme has (i) added additional production capacity to the manufacturing sector across a range of IPAP priority sectors, (ii) become more competitive through technology driven production processes and innovations, (iii) grow through projected investments of R8.6 billion in 2016/17 and 2017/18 and (iv) created 9 138 projected new job opportunities and helped to sustain 6 373 jobs during the same period.

 

3. The Department conducts programmatic impact assessments for example, periodic review of incentive programmes is undertaken to assess whether their objectives and outcomes are being realised and that review informs their future development. It is important to note that, the deployed interventions to change the growth trajectory rest on sound economic research and analysis including with respect to the identification of market failures and the most appropriate measures required to address these. Inherent in this process is a review of interventions deployed to assess their impact and effectiveness. Anecdotal evidence points to the fact that government’s resolute counter-cyclical industrialisation efforts arrested the scale of job losses, preventing potentially catastrophic full-scale deindustrialisation.

The following successes have been registered but they do not represent an exhaustive list of all the outcomes and progress platforms built in the course of the previous years. They serve as a snapshot of a much more substantive body of work which underpins these achievements, based on a set of critical and indispensable principles for industrial policy and industrial development:

• Manufacturing value-added in real terms grew from R338 billion in 2009 to R384 billion in 2017;
• Since 2007/08 manufactured exports grew four-fold compared to imports that have doubled. Manufactured exports were dominated by metals, metal products and machinery and equipment;
• Manufactured exports have continued to diversify and have also been bolstered by robust growth in manufactured exports to Africa;
• In the automotive sector exports have more than doubled over the last decade and the sector has attracted R45 billion in investment by the majority of the leading global automotive manufacturers; and
• The Clothing and Textile Competitiveness Programme approved R5.1 billion to manufacturers in the sector and disbursed R4.2 billion to recipients of the incentive. A very significant turn-around in the fortunes of the Clothing, Textile, Leather and Footwear industry has been achieved, bringing relief to a sector which was in deep distress. Not only has the tide been turned with respect to factory closures and lay-offs; gains have been registered in recapturing domestic market share and developing close working relationships between government, manufacturers and domestic retailers. A modest increase in exports has also been achieved; most notably in the footwear sector.

 

4. The Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) in the Presidency is tasked with reviewing government’s plans and policies as a whole in order to improve service delivery, outcomes and impact on society. Thus the need to amend or replace any policy will be informed by the monitoring and evaluation processes of DPME as they are constitutionally mandated to monitor, evaluate and report on the implementation of government priorities in line with the National Development Plan.

a) With the combination of the November 2017 and Supplementary 2018, it is expected that the combined results will be higher in numbers and percentage. However, it needs to be noted that the combined results includes all outstanding marks that would have been added between the official release of results on 5 January 2018 and the final combined results released on 7 May 2018. In the case of the Eastern Cape, 2 544 more candidates were added to the number who wrote, compared to the other PEDs, where the additions were less than 1 000. This higher number of additional candidates added to the number of candidates that wrote in the Eastern Cape, who in the main failed the examination, and this caused the final combined percentage in the Eastern Cape to be lower, despite the increase in the numbers that achieved.

b) The province has intensified the provision of additional support over and above the normal teaching and learning, as part of their efforts to improve learning outcomes. Below follows a summary of the interventions undertaken, both for teachers and learners to support the Class of 2018:

• Mediation of 2017 Chief Markers and diagnostic reports per subject
• Tracking learner performance ;
• SBA Support;
• Common tasks;
• Holiday extra classes/camps;
• Weekend classes;
• Professional development forums or teacher support;
• Provision of additional LTSM;
• Provision of Radio lessons and Telematics Broadcast.

The inclusive basket of performance indicators is a more integrated approach to reporting that reflects the key indicators of learner performance. The key indicators together with their weighting are as follows:

(a) Overall pass percentage (35%)

b) Mathematics pass percentage (10%)

c) Physical Sciences pass percentage (10%)

d) Bachelor attainment percentage (15%)

e) Distinction percentage (10%)

f) Mathematics Participation Rate (10%)

g) Secondary Throughput rate (10%)

The above indicators are captured in a consolidated format which includes a weighting based on the importance attached to each of these indicators. A computation of the percentage obtained for each of these indicators at school, district, provincial and national level, is also available. This new approach to reporting on performance in the National Senior Certificate Examination is being piloted and is therefore not the official mechanism of reporting on provincial performance. This information will however be used to monitor performance of the System at the different levels.

The Table below shows the performance of each of the Provincial Education Departments (PED’s) in terms of the Inclusive Basket Criteria:

(b) For police services to effectively fight crime, the United Nations (UN) Office on Drugs and Crime prescribe a minimum police strength of one police officer to 220 people. However, it needs to be mentioned that the staffing requirement for each police station is determined by taking a number of variables into account, including, inter alia, the levels of crime, existing infrastructure, geographic terrain, resident population, population influxes, etc. The comparison of staffing levels with only one variable does not necessarily provide an indication of the appropriateness of the aTTocated staffing levels.

On 21 August 2018, the South African Police Service (SAPS) briefed the Portfolio Committee on Police (PCoP), pertaining to safety at police stations. As part of the presentation, the SAPS committed to the following:

- To prioritise all police stations for implementation of minimum physical security standards that are not technology:

• fencing;

• lockable gates for vehicles;

• lockable gates for pedestrians; and

• guard houses.

- To look at the staffing of police stations with four or less members, per shift.

- To review the medium risk training to all members in basic training [Tactical Response Tea.m (TRT) training].

- To initiate the technology phase and activate the processes for the appointment of a panel of suppliers for Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) and access control.

An analysis was conducted on the current status of security measures at police stations. The analysis included the following aspects:

-7 Whether police stations are equipped with:

• perimeter fencing;

• perimeter lights; and

• lockable gates for vehicles and pedestrians.
- Whether police stations have:

• secured entrances to buildings;

• secured entrances to the Community Service Centres (CSC); and

• guard houses.

~ The minimum standard for human resources, deployed at police stations:

• Six members per shift.

Please find here: The findings from the analysis, are as follows:

Before responding to the question, I deemed it prudent to refer the honourable Alberts to the provisions of section 91(2) of the National Road Traffic Act, 1993 which provides as follows

“91. Delegation by Minister and MEC

(2) The MEC concerned may –

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

(b) authorise any other person to perform any duty assigned to the MEC by or under this Act,

and may effect such delegation or grant such authorisation subject to such conditions as he or she may deem fit.

From my reading and interpretation of section 91(2) as outlined above, it would appear authority of the MEC goes beyond delegation by him or her of the competencies to issue permits but also include “…. any power conferred upon him or her under this Act”

Furthermore, may authorise any other person to perform any duty assigned to the MEC by or under this Act.

(a) The Pilot project for (i) learner drivers and (ii) license applicants was launched on 30 August 2018

(b) At Centurion Driving Licence Testing Centre (DLTC), Tshwane. The service was the rolled out to other DLTCs from 01 September 2018.

(c) The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), one of the entities in my Department, monitors the success through daily reports of the number of slots booked online versus the number of slots of walk-in applicants. Further thereto the RTMC in close co-operation with the Gauteng Department of Transport, monitors the calls logged via its 24-hour call centre and addresses issues raised as soon as practically possible - although the majority of these calls were resolved by guiding the applicant through the process.

Since the end of September (30 days after the introduction of the service), the number of slots booked online has exceeded the walk-in applicants daily.

(d) The system has a 99.99% uptime and availability and there are always slots available throughout the Gauteng province, albeit it might not be at the applicant’s most preferred DLTC.

a) Reasons that the rental for accommodation at train stations has been increased are:

• Tenants at all stations entered into Lease Agreements as prescribed by the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa’s (PRASA) Leasing Policy for the use of such premises.
• The rentals paid at the station are market related and are negotiated and agreed upon with the tenant on a lease document signed by both parties.
• PRASA’s lease agreements provides for a rental escalation which occurs at the anniversary of each agreement.
• Such annual rentals escalation are market related researched and determined by the approved registered property valuers serving in the property sector.

b) Date of rental increase:

• Law of contract prescribes the lease agreement to have a start and end date to be a valid contract.
• Each contract will clearly indicate when the lease shall be due for escalation on the annual anniversary of each lease.
• Lease commencement dates will differ from lease to lease depending on when the agreed use of the property is envisaged to take place.

c) The impact of the increased rental on tenants and potential tenants are:

• Payment of increased rental based on escalation rates which is aligned to inflation and increased rates and taxes as well as electricity, the tenants will consider and adopt cost effective ways of doing business.

After various meetings between Nyoni Projects, the Business Rescue Practitioner and SANRAL, SANRAL terminated the Nyoni Projects contract on 14th February 2018 after their liquidation. SANRAL had requested National Treasury to approve a deviation to appoint the second lowest tenderer. National Treasury did not approve this, but instead approved that all previous tenderers be invited to submit a price to complete the outstanding works. This process has since started to source the service providers to complete the project.

(1)(a) The terrorist attacks in the landside area of Brussels Airport on 22 March 2016 and Istanbul Airport on 28 June 2016, has brought aviation security sharply into focus from all aviation stakeholders, governments and the media. Ensuring the security of the traveling public is a top priority for ACSA. The appropriate authority has defined “landside.” To include areas of mass gathering inside or close to the terminal, where there is a regular concentration of people. There is collaboration with the appropriate authority responsible for civil aviation security matters and other security agencies to conduct risk and vulnerability assessment of Airports to determine if any adjustments to current security measures are warranted. This requirement is contained in our National Civil Aviation Security programme that allocate responsibilities to state agencies. Engagement with the National and Airport Security Committees on appropriate measures to implement on specific threat scenarios.

i)Metal barriers and bollards are being used to prevent drive-in attacks

ii) The separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup areas from the terminal building

iii) Relocation of vehicle parking close to the terminal building to open areas further from the buildings

iv) Management of crowds around the landside areas to reduce gatherings of meters and greeters has been implemented.

v) Security considerations have been considered for Access areas such as balconies, terraces or windows that open, close to the terminal building where an active shooter or bomber might have access to crowded public areas by enhancement of patrols and CCTV surveillance.

vi) Airport Workers & passenger awareness & communication, there is a continuous reminder through the public-address system to passengers and visitors to be vigilant and report unattended baggage or suspicious behavior.

vii) Security awareness training is provided for all Airport workers (both airport and non-airport employees, including those not involved directly in security) to recognize suspicious behavior, and provide a simple and quick means to report it.

(b) Airports Company South Africa is not obligated under any legal grounds to implement the restricted road access. This road is under the jurisdiction of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan municipality. The municipality is charged with this legal responsibility. The management of O.R Tambo International Airport has raised its concerns and suggested that the airport controls the access and egress onto the airport frontage roads.

(i) Aviation-specific security regulations focus on the airside spaces (non-public spaces of airports accessible only to air passengers who hold a valid boarding pass and to security cleared staff). These regulations are designed to prevent unlawful interference with air transport. Landside spaces (airport spaces accessible to the general public) are subject to general security regulations enacted by national civil aviation authority. It is therefore up to the national civil authority to review and coordinate with airports to identify the appropriate measures that match their specific threat scenario.

(ii) A new set of standards regarding landside security are included in Amendment 15 to Annex 17 (April 2017) which require States to ensure that landside areas are identified, that measures are established to mitigate and prevent attacks based on a risk assessment, that measures are appropriately coordinated, and that responsibilities are allocated within a State’s national civil aviation security programme.

(iii) Accompanying this standard is guidance material within Doc8973, ICAO Security Manual, which provides additional information on how measures might be implemented. DOC 8973 states that no vehicle shall park within 50 meters from the terminal building.

(iv) The following list provides some best practices in detection, deterrence or mitigation of landside threats that reflect current ICAO guidance material and other industry best practices.

(v) Consider infrastructure and airport design features to mitigate the threat from attack. These might include:

(vi) bollards, flowerpots and other structures to prevent drive-in attacks

(vii) the separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup points from the terminal

(viii) Reduce access areas (such as terraces) where an active shooter or bomber might have access to crowded public areas.

(c) Studies was conducted by a traffic consultant in accordance to municipal by laws

(d) Public participation will be done prior to implementation

(e) Workable alternatives are,

(i) the separation of vehicle drop-off and pickup points from the terminal

(2) whether he has been informed that the Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has been in contact with the SA National Airport Parking Association (Sanapa) and that Acsa has given Sanapa an undertaking to participate in the process regarding the proposed road closures;

(a) none

(3) whether he has been informed of the current form of intimidation being conducted against parking operators by Acsa and the Ekurhuleni metro police, who allegedly are having cars picking up and dropping passengers at the entrances towed and stored, and that this has the result of random removal and storage of the cars of bona fide users of the pickup and drop-off points; if not, will he conduct an investigation in this regard; if so, (a) why is this happening and (b) what steps will he take in order to ensure that individuals are given a reasonable time to pick up or drop off passengers?

i) Acsa and the Ekurhuleni metro police, doesn’t intimidate parking operators at the airports. In terms of ICAO Doc 9873 and national civil aviation program vehicles cannot be left unattended on the roadway and within 50 meters from terminal building.

Acsa must ensure adequate road marking and appropriate signages in accordance to road ordinance act.

(a) According to the South African Geographical Names Council Act (Act No. 118 of 1998) the Minister of Arts and Culture is responsible for the approval of geographical names after receiving recommendations from the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC). The SAGNC is only responsible for geographical features of national concern including, but not limited to, towns/cities, suburbs and any form of human settlement, post offices, stations, highways, airports and government dams. The SAGNC is also responsible for natural landforms like mountains, hills, rivers, streams, bays, headlands and islands. Since airports are administered by National Department of Transport through the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) it is within their mandate to process their renaming through the South African Geographical Names Council

(b)(1) The Minister/Department of Transport through ACSA should initiate consultation in relation to the proposed changes or coordinate any of such process from the public or any stakeholder.

2. A notice in terms of Promotion of Administrative Justice Act of 2000 (where an intention to change the names will be stated clearly and the public will be asked to comment). At the same time there should be consultation with all affected families whose names will be used to give written permission for use of those names and they can also advise on the format in which names should appear on signage (if some of the airports will be named after people). ACSA should also consider staging public hearing around the affected airports, any municipality around each of the affected airports can be an ideal venue and a partner for this exercise.

3. Once all the inputs have been collected the South African Geographical Names Council’s application forms should be completed taking into consideration the inputs from the public and then taken to the relevant Geographical Names Provincial Committees (e.g. if the Airports in Gauteng then Gauteng Provincial Committee, KwaZulu-Natal then KZN Geographical Names Committee, Eastern Cape the Eastern Cape Geographical Names Committee etc.) for processing.

4. The relevant Provincial Committees will then forward the application forms to the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC) after they have checked that the applications comply with the guidelines as stated in the Handbook on Geographical Names. For example, checking if the name is not offensive or a duplication of an existing one etc.

5. The South African Geographical Names Council will then take a decision on the form or forms of names and recommend them for the Minister of Arts and Culture’s approval.

6. Once the names have been approved by the Minister, they will then be published in the Government Gazette which will mean that they are official. The Department of Transport and ACSA will then have to implement the official names as soon as possible. This can take form of events to unveil the names and installing proper signage.at the airports and on relevant roads.

(f) The process can take up to 4 months from submission of application for name change to the National Geographical Names Council if there are no legal challenges and objections.The renaming process may be further lengthened or delayed depending on the individual circumstace of each application. The Council meets three times per year.
