Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)Why did the SA Revenue Service (SARS), purchase a certain company (name furnished) for R27 million when it was valued at R2 million, (b) how did SARS arrive at the figure of R27 million and (c) what services did the specified company provide to SARS; (2) following the purchase of the specified company, (a) what amount did SARS spend on information and technology (IT) services and (b) why were the IT services of the specified company needed in view of SARS’ purchase?
Reply:
1.
(a) SARS did not purchase Interfront SOC Ltd. The said company was formed by SARS with the required consent/approvals from the Minister and Treasury as required by the PFMA. SARS purchased the business and assets of Tatis International (Pty) Ltd (Tatis) which consisted mainly of the intellectual property (IP) in the customs solution software called TATIScms and employed Tatis’s skilled IT staff using Interfront as the legal entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of SARS. The total purchase consideration for the IP and assets of Tatis was not R27m but valued at R98m of which Accenture and Tatis Africa contributed R14m each for reseller rights. Accenture’s contribution was in the form of cash paid to Interfront (CLIDET at the time) and Tatis Africa a discount to the IP value. SARS is not aware of the allegation that the value of Tatis was R2m. Revenue collected by Interfront from Luxembourg for support and maintenance on the system for the period 2011-2018 amounted to R77m. A further R11m per annual is forecasted for the next 3 years.
(b) This question is answered under (a). Interfront firstly, modernised the Customs system to an electronic IT system which was implemented in SARS in 2013 and secondly has been building a new more modern electronic customs solution system to implement the new Customs Act.
(2) following the purchase of the specified company, (a) what amount did SARS spend on information and technology (IT) services and (b) why were the IT services of the specified company needed in view of SARS’ purchase?
a) SARS spent to date (31 Oct 2018-accruals included) a total amount of R784m, of which R669m is for software development, on all information technology and related services.
b) The Customs transaction volumes (Important and Exports) were doubling over the years while the staffing level remained static and minimal expenditure in information technology targeted at Customs, Customs was left in an untenable situation having to manage ever growing volumes with little capacity. Customs was utilising over 34 distinct systems to manage its business. Those systems were developed over a time as global trade was growing and evolving. The core system, CAPE, was commissioned in 1979 and was based on the first generation technology originally designed for batch data capture. The underlying conclusion was SARS Customs was not in a favourable position to deliver on its multifaceted mandate and effectively manage its many risks while providing the level of services required then in a competitive economy. After considerable analysis of the environment at the time, a number of options to resolve the technology issues and challenges were considered. The options investigated were as follows:
Option 1- Develop a new in-house custom-built solution utilising similar technology to that used for Tax Modernisation,
Option 2 – Create a SARS owned Development Company that would acquire the TATIS customs management solution.
Option 3 – Select and deploy a commercially-available customs software package such as Bull.
The key considerations, high-level time-lines and financial implications were discussed in the National Treasury submission and after applying the risk-adjusted public sector comparator; option 2 solution benefits considerably outweighed the risks. The submission was duly noted and signed by the Finance Minister at the time.
SARS continues to make use of the IT services of its subsidiary to modernise its Customs systems and achieve compliance with specific reference to the new Customs Act.

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)Whether the section 71 reports from any municipalities indicated that they had invested funds with VBS Mutual Bank, or any other mutual bank, prior to October 2016; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) in each case where such indications were found, was any action was taken by the National Treasury; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
1. Yes - As part of the quarterly Section 71 publications municipalities are required to submit the status of their investment register together with the detail of each investment made. These investment lists are published per municipality as part of the quarterly Section 71 results and can be accessed at:
http://mfma.treasury.gov.za/Media_Releases/s71/Pages/default.aspx
2. The Section 71 publication consists of the financial and conditional grant information of 257 municipalities. The publication also covers 21 different conditional grants and additional information in different dimensions to cater for a wide variety of stakeholders such as Parliament, Municipal councils, lenders, rating agencies and the general public. With respect to investments, municipalities reported on 2 563 investment instruments with various banks.
While the National Treasury collects, consolidates and publishes quarterly summaries in various financial dimensions for all municipalities, in terms of Section 151(3) of the Constitution, the municipal council remains the final accountable institution. This is to ensure that the information reported is used for management purposes and account to the respective municipal councils.
Considering the amount of data lines reported, the investments associated with the VBS Mutual Bank got absorbed in the national aggregation process. Section 13 of the MFMA empowers the Minister of Finance to prescribe a framework within which municipalities may, amongst others, invest money not immediately required. Such a framework was provided in the Municipal Investment Regulations which sets out a list of permitted investments municipalities may invest municipal funds. In terms of Regulation 6, municipalities may invest funds only in banks registered in terms of the Banks Act. The Venda Building Society Mutual Bank (VBS) is not registered under the Banks Act of 1990, it was never envisaged that municipalities (Municipal managers and CFOs) would deliberately break the law in their choices of where they invest. To address this issue, the National Treasury has now, as part of the mSCOA reform improved the reporting on investment information to only be linked to registered banks aligned to Regulation 6.

Reply:
(a), (b), (c) and (d)
In the 2017/18 financial year, foreign borrowing limits were granted to the Central Energy Fund (CEF), the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), Denel and Transnet.
- CEF’s foreign borrowing limit was for R3 billion and this is set to expire in the 2021/22 financial year. The foreign borrowing limit was for the holding company and its subsidiaries for working capital purposes given the high working capital requirements of the industry.
- DBSA’s foreign borrowing limit was for the entity to access more funds from foreign lenders to extend loans and advances in SA and the SADC region to execute its mandate of facilitating and supporting infrastructure development in Southern Africa. The amounts approved for the DBSA was R19.7 billion for the 2017/18 financial year, R22.6 billion for the 2018/19 financial year and R26 billion for the 2019/20 financial year.
- Denel’s foreign borrowing limit was approved at R535.3 million for the 2017/18 financial year, with the amount reducing by R100 million every year. The limit is valid for 3 years from the 2017/18 financial year. The approval for a foreign borrowing limit for Denel was to allow the company’s subsidiary (Denel Aerostructures) to continue executing a major contract given the high working capital requirements of the project.
- Transnet’s foreign borrowing limit was approved for 1 year up to 31 March 2019 for a total amount of R81 billion. The approval of the limit was to enable Transnet to execute its funding plan as proposed in its corporate plan to execute its market demand strategy, which entailed sourcing funds from domestic and foreign lenders.
Since 1 April 2018 up to 30 September 2018, Rand Water’s borrowing limit request (domestic and foreign) and Eskom’s foreign borrowing limit request were granted.
- Rand Water’s borrowing limit was approved to accommodate the high capital expenditure requirements over the next three years, which will be funded through internally generated cash and borrowings. The approved limit for Rand Water was for R6.3 billion for the 2018/19 financial year, R8.3 billion for the 2019/20 financial year and R11.6 billion for the 2020/21 financial year.
- Eskom’s foreign borrowing limit was granted to enable the company to raise debt for its capital expenditure programme and liquidity. Eskom’s foreign borrowing limit was granted for one financial year, expiring on 31 March 2019, for a total amount of R308 billion.
Since 1 April 2018, a borrowing authority and the corresponding limit was approved for the National Housing Finance Corporation (NHFC) for R450 million for the 2018/19 financial year, R351 million for the 2019/20 financial year and R331 million for the 2020/21 financial year. The application was approved for purposes of transferring liabilities (including borrowings) from the National Urban Reconstruction and Housing Agency (NURCHA) and the Rural Housing Loan Fund (RHLF) to NHFC to facilitate the merger of the three entities.
On 1 April 2018, South African Airways’ foreign borrowing limit request was rejected. In addition, Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority’s (TCTA) borrowing limit for a project was rejected.
- SAA’s foreign borrowing limit was rejected due to the entity’s high debt levels, which are unsustainable. In the interest of prudent financial management, the request was reject. The amount requested was R18 billion.
- TCTA’s request for a borrowing limit on one of its projects (Berg River-Voelvlei Augmentation Scheme (BRVAS)) was rejected on the basis that more work needed to be undertaken by both the TCTA and the Department of Water and Sanitation in respect of preparatory work and the due diligence. The two parties were encouraged to finalise the preparatory work for National Treasury to consider the application again. The amount requested was R581 million.
Total borrowing limits and authority granted that are applicable for the 2018/19 financial year amount to R620.44 billion (please note that the Minister of Finance is only required to approve foreign borrowing limits in terms of the PFMA).

Maynier, Mr D to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether an illicit economy unit has been and/or will be established in the SA Revenue Service; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The re-establishment of the Illicit Economy unit (IEU) at SARS is currently in progress and will be implemented in two phases. The 1st phase will be an interim IEU solution, which is scheduled to be functional by November 2018.
This two pronged approach to establish the specialized enforcement capability and capacity is being pursued, first an interim capacity and capability to immediately respond to the current illicit economic activities, and second, developing and implementing the organisational design to build the full functioning IEU of the future. Given the current limited capability and capacity, the focus of the Interim IEU relate to organised tax, Customs and Excise evasion schemes inter-alia in the following industries: Tobacco, Cash and Carry, Textiles, Alcohol and Fuel. In addition, abusive practices such as advanced import payments and currency smuggling, phoenixism, abusive liquidation and business rescue practices and Syndicated refund fraud, including organised VAT fraud such as carousel structures will also be addressed as per the IEU mandate.
Currently SARS have identified 58 potential cases that fall within the illicit IEU mandate. A new conceptual design and interim structure for the illicit economy Unit has been developed and approved.
The 2nd phase will involve the compete operationalisation of the IEU. The anticipated completion of the 2nd phase will be June 2019."

(i) Provision of Cloud Hosting Services to the Water Research Commission (WRC) for a period of twelve (12) months
(ii) (aa) The Contract value amounted to R 493 085.50 (Inclusive of Vat)
(bb) Contract period of twelve (12) months, Contract award date: 10 September 2018
(iii) The contract was evaluated by the Bid Evaluation Committee and approved by the Bid Adjudication Committee in line with their approval delegation
(iv) The approved tender and contract award processes followed was in line with all National Treasury and the WRC procurement policies and procedures.
The contract awarded to Vox Telecommunications (Pty) Ltd (Company registration number: 2011/000797/07) was cancelled on the 22 November 2018 due to the company failing to commence with the contract as per the agreed contract terms and conditions. The contract start date was 01 October 2018, the company failed to commence on that date and the start date was extended to 01 November 2018 and was unable to migrate the WRC data and thus again failed to commence with delivering the contracted services. The company provided the technical reasons why they were unable to provide the services and estimated that the data transfer would take three months this was not acceptable to the WRC. The WRC then served VOX Telecommunications (Pty) Ltd with a contract termination letter on the 22 November 2018, which they accepted and agreed to reimburse the WRC an amount of R 7 509.23 which incurred as a result of the delays during the month of November 2018.

The SARS Credit Book for the applicable tax types as on 11 November 2018: It is important to note that the spike in 2018/19 PIT credit book is mainly as a result of the fact that filing season has just concluded and we are not comparing the same period. The increase in VAT credit book is as a result of the absolute 1% (7% relative terms) increase. With the increased VAT refund allocation of R20bn this will assist in reducing the VAT credit book.

Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)Whether a certain official of the SA Revenue Services (Sars) was authorised to participate in an interview with the SA Broadcasting Corporation on 17 October 2018; if so, who authorised the specified person to participate in the specified interview; (2) whether the statements made by the person during the interview were authorised by the Commissioner of Sars; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether the statements made by the person during the interview are an accurate reflection of the status of the information technology (IT) systems at Sars; if not, (a) why are they not accurate and (b) what is the real status of Sars’ IT systems; (4) whether any disciplinary action has been instituted against the specified person due to the statements made during the interview; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The certain official was duly authorised by the Acting Commissioner of SARS to participate in the said interview. Aside from the Commissioner, Chief Officers comprise the top rung of SARS leadership. Historically, when the appointed Commissioner is unavailable, a Chief Officer is appointed to act as the Commissioner. A Chief Officer is expected to represent SARS at the highest levels, including at international events and in interviews with the media particularly when the subject matter falls within the Chief Officer’s mandate. The authority given by the Acting Commissioner was based on the understanding that a SARS Chief Officer and member of EXCO should be competent and able to fully address any matter of SARS culture, vision, strategy, policy and operations that arises in an interview and particularly when the issues relate to his/her portfolio of accountability.
2. Statements made by the SARS official during the interview were not authorised by the Commissioner of SARS in any event there are no means of ensuring that representations by SARS executives are approved by the Commissioner prior to any interview as interviews in their very nature are dynamic and not preemptive. Chief Officers of SARS are expected to be able to handle any matter relating to their area of accountability.
(3)(a) The statements made by the person during the interview did not describe the state of SARS IT and what is required to enhance the IT systems.
3(b) Although SARS IT systems are ageing and require continuous maintenance, they are currently stable, operative and serving our clients well. The SARS technical IT teams have the necessary skills to ensure we modernize our systems and SARS is committed to providing the required resources to enable us to eventually have the ideal technology offering. SARS is on record on the need to refresh its ageing ICT infrastructure and plans in this regard are underway.
(4) The contents of the interview have impacted on SARS and the issue of disciplinary proceedings is being considered. The most appropriate steps will be taken once a preliminary opinion has been formulated and formal discussions have taken place.
18 December 2018 - NW3058
McLoughlin, Mr AR to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)With reference to the Auditor-General’s latest Annual Report, how does the National Treasury intend to cover the budgetary shortfall that will be created by the proposed writing off of R58 million in unpaid audit fees; (2) does the National Treasury intend to obtain a refund of the sum of R150 million assistance to be provided to the Auditor-General (AG), from those municipalities who have failed to settle their audit accounts and which have caused the need for such assistance to be given to the AG; (3) whether he intends to set up some form of mediation committee to attempt to find resolutions in the cases where disputes arise between the AG and his auditees to prevent the unacceptable situation that ensues when two government departments or entities employ the services of private legal practitioners to argue their respective cases before the courts of the country, such as recently happened between the SA Revenue Service and the AG and the Department of Water and Sanitation and the AG; (4) (a) what has so far been the total cost to the AG’s office for all legal fees and disbursements relating to litigation conducted by auditees against the AG in each of the past five financial years and (b) to which firms of attorneys were these costs paid; (5) (a) on what legislative basis did he rely to settle the accounts of municipalities who owe the AG’s office unpaid audit fees and (b) does he intend to now also pay other debts owed by municipalities to other debtors from the National Revenue Fund?
Reply:
1. The Auditor-General (AGSA) accepted the National Treasury’s offer for a full and final settlement of the accumulated outstanding fees in terms of section 23(6) of the Public Audit Act (PAA), Act no.25 of 2004, as at 2017/18. The AGSA does not receive direct funding from the National Treasury and as such, the National Treasury will not cover any budgetary shortfall arising from the write-off of unpaid audit fees.
2. In terms of section 23(6) of PAA, if the audit fee exceeds one percent of the total current and capital expenditure of such an auditee for the financial year, such excess must be defrayed from the National Treasury’s vote, provided that, the National Treasury is of the view that the auditee has financial difficulty to settle the cost. This excludes national and provincial departments. Therefore, based on these provisions PAA above, the National Treasury does not intend obtaining a refund for the R150 million assistance given to the AGSA on behalf of the municipalities.
3. The National Treasury (NT) and AGSA has well documented dispute resolution mechanisms in place to deal with technical and accounting cases where an entity disagrees with an audit finding of the AGSA. A situation that is occurring more frequently is where the AG and NT agrees on a case, but the auditee refuses to accept the final resolution and continues to challenge both the final opinion of AGSA and NT. The NT agrees that in most cases, state funds should not be used to litigate against the audit opinions of the AGSA, as these cases can be solved in the normal process.
4. The National Treasury does not have the information available, these costs and legal firms used must be obtained from the individual departments and public entities that have pursued the legal action.
5. The National Treasury has since the effective date of the approval of the Public Audit Act, Act No. 25 of 2004 (PAA), been assisting with the payment of audit fees of applicable entities and municipalities that, based on the view of National Treasury, are in financial difficulty. These payments are done in accordance with section 23(6) of the PAA, and are only done for audit fees that exceeds one percent of the total current and capital expenditure of auditees in financial distress. It must be mentioned that National Treasury has a specific amount appropriated in the budget for settling audit fees of struggling entities. Unfortunately, the budgeted amount is not always adequate to cover all the amounts owed to the AGSA. For this reason, the National Treasury has put forward measures to improve the payment of outstanding audit fees for auditees in financial distress in the amendments to the Public Audit Act.

Mashabela, Ms N to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
What are the details of the Government’s policy position regarding the voting structures and powers of the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly?
Reply:
Honourable Member, South Africa's participation in multilateral institutions is guided by the country's foreign policy objectives based on its vision of "a better South Africa, a better Africa and a better world". Our foreign policy is informed by our constitutional values and principles, national values and interests and strategic considerations based on domestic and international imperatives.
Our participation is further aligned with an understanding of the nexus that exists between peace, security and sustainable development. Consequently, South Africa's approach and voting patterns in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the General Assembly (GA) resonates strongly with the African Union's (AUs) aspirational goals contained in the Agenda 2063 and its Ten (10) Year Implementation Plan of contributing to peace and security of "Silencing the Guns by the year 2020".
South Africa further upholds the principle that there could be no peace without development, thus the advancement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda Goals adopted by UN Heads of State and Government in New York in September 2015 is essential requirement to continental efforts towards advancing the achievement of the African Union Agenda 2063.
Additional information on voting structures and powers in the United Nations Security Council and United Nations General Assembly is provided below:
Voting structures and powers of the United Nations Security Council
- Each member of the United Nations Security Council has one vote. There are two sets of decisions that are taken by voting, namely on procedural matters and non-procedural matters which the latter could be vetoed by the Permanent Five. The UNSC is the only organ of the United Nations which has been conferred with the power to take decisions with a binding force in line with the "Purposes and Principles of the United Nations" in discharging its duties of maintaining international peace and security.
Voting structures and powers of the General Assembly
The Government policy position regarding voting structures and powers of the United Nations General Assembly is guided by the following provisions of the United Nations General Assembly's Rules of Procedure, Rules 82 to 90 on Voting:
- Each member of the General Assembly have one vote. Decisions of the General Assembly on important questions shall be made by a two-thirds majority of the members present and voting, for instance in matters pertaining to international peace and security, the election of the non-permanent members of the Security Council, etc. On the other hand, decisions of the General Assembly on questions other than those considered important that requires a two thirds majority, shall be made by a simple majority of the members present and voting, i.e. affirmative and negative votes only; abstentions are considered as not voting.

(ii) Please see (i) above.
(b) The Department has a backlog in relation to the new and replacement schools, that is perpetuated by the constant influx of learners into the province. The Department has not achieved all its targets related to building schools, as indicated in (a) above, due to a number of reasons that have had an adverse impact on the delivery of schools. These include but not limited to:
• Budgetary Constraints;
• Under perfomance by contractors;
• Community disruptions; and
• Inclement weather.
2. The Department will not be forcing but engaging and encouraging the existing single-medium schools that have received a sufficiently large number of learner applications for admission, to offer additional languages and thereby become dual-medium schools. It must be noted that the process is guided by, amongst others, the number of applications to a school.

Hlonyana, Ms NKF to ask the Minister of Economic Development
Whether, his department subsidises any industries in the country; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) which industries, (b) where is each industry located, (c) what does each industry produce and (d) what is the monetary value of each subsidy?
Reply:
No, the budget of the Economic Development Department is not used to subsidise any industries in the country.
The Industrial Development Corporation (“IDC”) does provide concessional funding to a number of industries and sectors, including its Black Industrialist Programme and Gro-E Youth Programme, to encourage youth entrepreneurship. This support is provided across the country. Further details of IDC programmes may be found in the Integrated Report on the IDC’s website: https://www.idc.co.za/images/2018/IDC-IR-2018-Final.pdf.
In the past EDD has raised R95 million for the Downstream Steel Competitiveness Fund utilising funds paid over to the National Revenue Fund as a result of penalties imposed on ArcelorMittal South Africa for its role in cartels in the steel industry. The funds raised by EDD has been used for concessional funding to provide support to qualifying smaller competitors and downstream players. Funding has been approved for companies in Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and North West.
Similarly, EDD has raised R250 million for the Agro Processing Competitiveness Fund utilising funds paid over to the National Revenue Fund as a result of penalties imposed on Pioneer Foods for its role in the bread cartel. Funding has been approved in 42 deals to provide concessional funding for companies in Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Free State, North West, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
The work of EDD in competition matters has resulted in R4.5 billion raised from private companies to support small and medium business and black-owned businesses in a number of industries including agriculture, construction, manufactured consumer goods and spaza shops. The impact of this support has been across the country.

Wana, Ms T to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What are the reasons that a sign was put up for Mahabaneng Primary School at the abandoned Lebaka B Primary School site in Mohlabaneng in Limpopo?
Reply:
Lebaka B was built as an offshoot of Lebaka A where the school buildings were dilapidated and no longer hospitable. Security was engaged and the repairs were effected. There are plans afoot to bring in Gr R –Gr 3 to the school in January 2019. The original name was supposed to be Mahabaneng Primary School instead of Lebaka B but the name was not registered at EMIS.

Mokoena, Mr L to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture
What are the details of the support that his Department offers to South African authors?
Reply:
My department has a unit which deals with Books and Publishing, focusing on promoting a culture of reading, writing and developing authors, supporting initiatives that provide public platforms for authors working with the book sector stakeholders including authors to engender wider audiences for South African literature and enhance the development of a dynamic book sector.
The Department provides funding to individuals, institutions, community groups and organizations, including literature. It also provides financial support for creative writing including biographies and autobiographies. In addition, in the case of international partnerships, funds are allocated to authors to travel to international literary events and attend international Book Fairs and Festivals.
The Department in partnership with the South African Literary Awards, pays tribute to South African authors who have distinguished themselves as ground-breaking producers and creators of literature. The Department is further committed to financially supporting activities of the Writers Guild, the National Writers Association of South Africa, the African Women Writers Network, the Abantu Book Festival, the Mthatha Word Festival and National Book Week, the latter of which takes place in every September and is held in all Provinces. A campaign aimed at stimulating a reading and writing culture in all South African languages and to promote easy access to books.
The Department also provides support to the National Library of South Africa for the activities of the Centre for the Books as well as National Library Week activities and related publishing and literary initiatives including the Funda Mzantsi National Reading Competition which promotes reading among book clubs from all over the country. Together with the National Library, the Department is finalizing a strategy and programme of rolling out writing grants to aspiring writers and authors.

Mulaudzi, Adv TE to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether, with reference to the reply of the Minister of Public Service and Administration to question 141 for oral reply on 7 September 2018, his department and the entities reporting to him implemented the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council resolution that all persons employed in the Public Service as Assistant Directors must have their salary level upgraded from level 9 to level 10, and that all Deputy Directors must have their salary level upgraded from level 11 to level 12; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development implemented Resolution 3 of 2009. In implementing the Resolution, the Department confined itself to the condition set in paragraph 3.6.3 which deals with accelerated grade progression for salary levels 9-10 and 11-12 respectively. To this end, all employees from salary levels 9-10 and 11-12 who meet the below mentioned qualifying criteria are accordingly progressed/upgraded:
a) Twelve (12) years continuous service and should have at least obtained above satisfactory rating on his performance assessment; and
b) Fifteen (15) years of continuous service and should have at least obtained above satisfactory rating on his performance assessment
2. The National Prosecuting Authority implemented PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2012 in conjunction with the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) Circular 16/P dated 25 February 2013. All posts that were filled on salary levels 9 and 11 after the implementation of PSCBC, Resolution 3 of 2009 were re-graded according to the DPSA’s Implementation Directive. All employees who occupied those posts were thus upgraded into the salary levels 10 and 12 respectively.
3. Employees of Legal Aid South Africa are not appointed under the Public Service Act, 1994 but are employed in terms of Legal Aid SA Act 39 of 2014. Persons who are employed at salary level 9 and those employed at salary level 11 can be progressed to salary level 10 and salary level 12 respectively subject to the scope of pay progression of the job grading of a position and on condition that an employee’s annual performance review is good and scored at 80% and above.
4. Neither PSCBC Resolution 3 of 2009 nor Resolution 1 of 2012 has been implemented in the Special Investigating Unit (SIU). The pay progression model being referred to is not in use in the SIU as the SIU has its own grading system in place.

Reply:
1. The school was not completed within the envisioned construction period of 11 months. The contract period started on 3 November 2010 as scheduled, but unfortunately the contractor fell behind schedule. The delays led to the situation whereby the contractor subsequently abandoned site. The project was re-activated in 2016 and Practical Completion was achieved on 11 September 2017.
2. The initial contract amount was R 15 956 400.00. During the period when the contractor abandoned site the school was vandalised. Accordingly, when the project was re-activated, re-measurements were done to determine the cost to complete the project and a Variation Order was approved on 7 November 2016 increasing the contract amount to R 17 721 946.21. MPPJ Property Development was the Contractor. The contractor has not yet been paid in full as Final Completion has not yet been achieved.
3. (a) Total cost of Furniture is R930 491.000 and the furniture was delivered in 2012 and in 2018.
(b) Lebaka B was built as an offshoot of Lebaka A where the school buildings were dilapidated and no longer hospitable. Security was engaged and the repairs were effected. There are plans afoot to bring in Gr R –Gr 3 to the school in January 2019.
(c) The security company was appointed for Lebaka B School on 01 June 2018.
(d) The security service provider was initially appointed by the Limpopo Department of Education to do security services at Mamaila Circuit Office. A variation order was prepared and approved for the inclusion of Lebaka B School for an amount of R33 524.30 per month.
(e) Mathara Investment CC.
4. Yes, there is a litigation claim for the alleged exhumation of graves on the school site during the construction process. The matter is currently being handled by the state attorney.

Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
Whether there are any plans in place to ban microbeads in the country; if not, why not; if so, by what date will the ban come into effect?
Reply:
The microbeads in cosmetics and disinfectants have been highlighted as having a negative environmental impact. The regulatory control of both cosmetics and disinfectants is administered by the Department of Health under regulations in the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act, 1954
(Act 54 of 1972). The Department of Environmental Affairs is in engagement with both the Department of Health and South African Health Products Regulatory Authority, including providing comments on the amendment of cosmetics regulations to consider the phase-out of microbeads in cosmetics.

Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
(a) What number of public resorts were managed by Aventura Ltd before it was liquidated, (b) what were the specific reasons for the liquidation of Aventura Ltd and (c)(i) to whom were the public resorts that were managed by Aventura Ltd sold and (ii) at what price?
Reply:
DPE response
a) There were in total fourteen (14) public resorts that were managed by Aventura. Six of those resorts, which were seriously loss making were the first to be disposed of to different purchasers.
Then the remaining and better performing eight (8) situated at Badplaas, Blydepoort, Loskopdam, Swadini (Mpumalanga) Tshipise, Warmbath (Limpopo), Plettenburg Bay (Western Cape), Gariep (Free State) were sold to a single purchaser named Forever Siyonwaba Consortium.
b) Government had in 2001 as part of its restructuring policy taken a decision to dispose all the Aventura resorts. Hotel and leisure was regarded as non- core to Government. The decision to dispose was further underpinned by the fact that some of the resorts were seriously loss making. Aventura was disposed through a normal purchase and sale process however difficulties were encountered in concluding the process all together. The process was beset by land claims in some of the areas (e.g Blydepoort, Swadini and Tshipise) where the resorts were situated, incorrect description of the Aventura properties, e.g there were discrepancies in Aventura property description set out in the Deeds office and the inventory/schedule of those properties laid out in the Overvaal Resorts Limited Act 127 of 1993. These difficulties caused the disposal of Aventura to be protracted. Thus, against the background that the Aventura resorts were already sold even though difficulties in transferring some of them were encountered, in 2013 an optimal route to bring closure to the purchase and sale process was considered and liquidation was found to be appropriate. The Shareholder (Minister of Public Enterprises) then passed a resolution to liquidate Aventura.
(c) (i) the eight(8) resorts were sold to a company called Forever Siyonwaba Consortium
(ii) the Purchase Price for the eight was R200m.

Mashabela, Ms N to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
Whether, with reference to the reply of the Minister of Public Service and Administration to question 141 for oral reply on 7 September 2018, her department and the entities reporting to her implemented the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council Resolution 3 of 2009 that all persons employed in the Public Service as Assistant Directors must have their salary level upgraded from level 9 to level 10, and that all Deputy Directors must have their salary level upgraded from level 11 to level 12; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Honourable Member, Clause 18.1 of PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2012 determines that; “clause 3.6.3.2 of PSCBC Resolution 3 of 2009 is hereby amended to allow employees whose posts are graded on salary levels 10 and 12; to be appointed and remunerated on salary levels 10 and 12 respectively”.
My department has informed me that it implemented Resolution 1 of 2012 and upgraded all employees serving in Assistant Director and Deputy Director posts in accordance with the grading system.

Mulaudzi, Adv TE to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
With reference to his reply to question 3135 on 15 November 2018, (a) who are the interested parties that his department may further consult and (b) will further research be conducted; (2) will his department consult other government departments regarding the regulations; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. (a) Various Constitutional Court cases have confirmed the principle that it is a constitutional imperative to facilitate public involvement in the legislative processes, which by implication includes the making of delegated legislation. If this important principle (which is sometimes referred to as participatory democracy), is not adhered to, the laws or regulations in question may be unconstitutional. Any proposed legislative proposal that gives effect to the South African Law Reform Commission Report on Adult Prostitution (Project 107) (the Report), will be subjected to a comprehensive and open public consultation process. By implication, all interested parties, who among others, will include organizations and establishments that represent persons involved in sex work as well as sex workers themselves, will be given an opportunity to raise their views. A public consultation process, because of its open and public character, ensures that everybody is given an equal opportunity to raise their views and acts as a counterweight to secret lobbying and influence-peddling.
(b) As indicated in the Reply to Question 3135, the Department is in the process of further researching aspects relevant to the Report in order to make legislative proposals that are best suited to our country.
2. The public consultation process discussed under paragraph (1)(a) above, will involve consultation with other Departments in the national, provincial and local sphere of Government due to the cross-cutting nature and implications of sex work. Any regulatory measure that deals with sex work and which may impact on the functions, resources or mandates of any other Department, will be drafted in consultation with the Department involved.
