SITA has awarded contracts on RFQs to VOX as per the attached table (Annexure).
Over and above the transactions listed in the attached table, in 2014 SITA published to the open market RFB 1316/2014 for off-net voice services for the agency. After evaluation and approval the tender was awarded for 3 years to Vox for the total amount of R10 425 600.00. The tender was approved by the Bid Adjudication Committee as per the SITA Delegation of Authority. In terms of the tender requirements, bidders were required to provide two options on the solution required and to price them separately. After award, it was realised that the bid price for the solution awarded to Vox was actually for the other option.
SITA attempted to withdraw the award. The decision to withdraw was challenged by Vox as it was of the view that it is entitled to the tender. SITA launched a counter application to have its decision set aside in order to approach the market. The Court set aside the award to Vox as it was based on the incorrect evaluation results.

Reply:
I was not informed about the patient who died at Addington Hospital after jumping out of the window.
According to a report from the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health the patient was observed to be calm and quiet in the emergency department and was admitted to the medical ward. After the nurse admitted the patient, and whilst his mother was in the ward, the patient got off the bed and rushed to the window and tried to force the wonder open. This mother tried to stop him and shouted for help. Before he could be restrained unfortunately he forced his way through the window with force, breaking the hinges and fell 13 floors. The SAPS was called to the scene to investigate.

Reply:
a. Reasons for the increased cost to build the stone wall on the Robben Island are the following:
- The nature of the proposed design which was to replace the bridged dry-stone packed wall with a concrete seawater barrier that would then be clad with a layer of gabions and the dry-packed bluestone on the island side and a pebble ramp on the seaside.
- Environmental provisions that included having to build only over a 6 months’ period outside the bird and penguin breed seasons.
- Further bridging of the wall as the project preparations including the sourcing of further funds, this was more severe during the June 2017 storm when the bridged opening increased by a further 20 meters.
- What Coega Development Corporation refers to as the ‘Island Factor is a logistics cost that had been underestimated by the consultants early in the development of the project that became an issue at procurement.
b. R10, 3 Million in 2015 was estimated at Preliminary design stage.
c. R28, 6 Million based on the lowest tender price.

Wessels, Mr W to ask the Minister of Public Works
(1) Whether his department conducts regular health and safety inspections as required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 85 of 1993 (OHSA), at both state-owned and rented buildings under its control; if not, why not; if so, what is the frequency of the inspections; (2) Which (a) state-owned and (b) rented buildings have been found not to meet the minimum requirements in terms of the OHSA in each of the specified metropolitan municipalities (details furnished); (3) What (a) measures has his department put in place to meet the Act’s safety requirements, (b) is the estimated cost in each case and (c) are the projected timelines; (4) Whether he will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
(1) Yes, the Department of Public Works, through its Facilities Management Branch (Occupational Health and Safety Unit) conducts regular inspections for both state - owned and leased facilities as per Occupational Health and Safety Act, (Act No. 85 of 1993) (herein after referred to as the OHS Act) and the Municipal by-laws to identify all building compliance issues. These inspections are conducted on a monthly basis (against annual targets) and any non-compliance is reported to relevant departmental branches for rectification.
(2) (a) Buildings are inspected on a monthly basis and referred to relevant branches as and when compliance issues arise. The list of buildings is not static due to the fact that all emergency compliance issues are attended to as and when these issues arise – whilst upgrades, improvements and refurbishments are handled through longer term processes.
(b) The leased buildings are also inspected on a monthly basis according to an approved plan. The reports thereof are submitted to the Real Estate Management Services (REMS) Branch to take up the non-compliance and maintenance issues with the relevant Landlords, by invoking the relevant clauses in the lease agreements. The list of buildings is also not static due to the fact that all emergency compliance issues are attended to as and when these issues are raised – whilst upgrades, improvements and refurbishments are handled through longer term processes.
(3) (a) In the case of State-owned facilities – after each and every inspection – the inspectors compile a report with a list of defects or any compliance issues to the relevant branches within the Department. This is an on-going exercise.
If emergency and minor maintenance works are required the rectification works are referred to the Regional Offices for implementation using the day-to-day maintenance strategy. This usually takes a week up to a month to implement – depending on the complexity of the works and availability of materials.
If major works are required the reports are then referred to relevant branches in the Department for Budgeting, Design and Execution (this is medium to long term). The medium to long term major works projects will take up to a year and may even be multi-year projects. This is due to the magnitude of the projects, which may involve budgeting in terms of medium term expenditure framework (MTEF), a process that involves planning and design, public tendering, adjudication and project execution.
This means that whilst other buildings may not be fully compliant – plans and / or projects are made to rectify them. Unfortunately, we have a backlog on addressing the OHS compliance issues and this is due to the sheer size of the portfolio of Public Works and the fact that maintenance is heavily underfunded. The asset portfolio of the Department is vast, making up over 90 000 buildings, 70 percent of which are in a fair state of repair
As evidenced by various incidences concerning operational emergencies, it is apparent that the lack of adequate maintenance has resulted in numerous contraventions of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards, which tends to affect service delivery and more so the health of Government officials. Even more severe, is the risk of equipment failure (boilers, lifts air-conditioning systems, etc.), which could potentially lead to catastrophic consequences for both the Department and the State.
The challenge however, I that over time the infrastructure budgets in the User Departments have reduced or been diverted to other key service delivery activities. The reduction in infrastructure budgets presents a significant risk with regard to the repair, refurbishment and maintenance of the portfolio and consequently renders the upkeep of the portfolio unaffordable. One of the pre-conditions for the existence and operationalization of the Property Management Trading Entity (PMTE) is that it must adopt business-like principle and operate on a cost recovery basis. However, the PMTE is dealing with a historical challenge of Inadequate funding due to low tariffs charged to User departments. These tariffs do not adequately make provision for capital expenditure and also do not adequately make adequate provision for maintenance.
With respect to the maintenance backlog, the financial impact of improving the condition of the portfolio to an acceptable level is being quantified.
The Department, through the PMTE, is in discussion with the National Treasury to highlight the extent of the backlog and seek innovative solutions along with User departments to address this.
(b) The standard lease agreement contains provisions of how the Department is to handle maintenance and non-compliance issues. These range between minor works and major works. Minor works may be completed within a week to a month – whilst major works may take longer.
If a Landlord does not comply with the OHS Act (Act No. 85 of 1993) the Department reserves the right to put the Landlord into terms – failing which, the lease agreement may be terminated.
(c) Time Lines are dependent on the works:
Emergency and Minor Works – Within one week up to a month to implement – depending on the complexity of the works and availability of materials.
The medium to long term major works projects will take up to a year and may even be multi-year projects. This is due to the magnitude of the projects that involve budgeting (in line with MTEF processes); planning and design, public tendering, adjudication and project execution.
(4) A statement will be made as and when it is necessary to do so.

Bagraim, Mr M to ask the Minister of Economic Development
Whether, since he served in Cabinet, he (a)(i) was ever influenced by any person and/or (ii) influenced any of his department’s employees to take any official administrative action on behalf of any (aa) member, (bb) employee and/or (cc) close associate of the Gupta family and/or (b) attended any meeting where any of the specified persons were present; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
(a) No.
(b) In the previous administration (2009-2014), members of the Gupta family were present at public or official functions or meetings that I attended, and as with other attendees, engaged with me at the events. Outside of such occasions, the following invitations or requests were directed at or received by me or by my office for bilateral meetings with members of the Gupta family:
(i) In approximately late 2011, my office received a request from a member of the Gupta family to meet with me. As no information was provided to warrant a meeting with me, I declined the request and directed my office to refer them to meet with one of my officials instead, as is standard practice with many requests by business people for bilateral meetings. They did not take up the offer and no further effort was made by them subsequently to follow up on this request.
(ii) Personal invitations to celebrate Diwali were received on more than one occasion, which invitations I declined. In addition, sometime in early 2013 I received an invitation to attend a wedding involving relatives of the Gupta family in Sun City, which invitation I declined.
While this does not relate to a member of the Gupta family, in February 2010 on the day of the State of the Nation Address, Mr Duduzane Zuma came to briefly introduce himself to me at my offices in Parliament. No specific request was made by him at the meeting nor does my office have any record of a request for a follow-up meeting.

Grootboom, Mr GA to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture
Whether, with reference to the implementation of the Generally Recognised Accounting Practice 103 project across the art and culture sector, his department has a record of all works of art in government buildings, especially in offices of Members of Executive Councils; if not, why not, if so, what are the relevant details? NW3874E
Reply:
The art works that are found in government departments and held in the offices of Members of the Executive Councils are not under my department, as every government department has its own asset register.
Government departments do not use GRAP 103 in terms of asset management – there is a modified cash system to report in terms of cost price.
