Reply:

I have requested the South African Reserve Bank to provide the relevant information to the National Treasury to respond to this question, which supervised VBS Mutual Bank during the period in question.

The South African Reserve Bank does not generally conduct compliance monitoring by banks of laws falling outside our financial sector-regulatory laws. Its focuses during the period in question was on the licensing of banks and compliance with financial-sector laws like the Banks Act, Mutual Banks Act, Financial Sector Regulation Act, Currency and Exchange Act and the Financial Intelligence Act, and does so via the Prudential Authority (since 1 April 2018 and before that via the Bank Supervision Department) and Financial Surveillance department for exchange-control and authorized-deal related laws.

The Prudential Authority regulates banks for prudential objectives related to their financial health, and the protection of depositor-funds to ensure that banks have the ability to deliver on their promises, especially to pay retail depositors when they want their funds. The Reserve Bank is also not a market conduct regulator, and banks were generally not regulated for market conduct (except for the provision of retail credit) before 1 April 2018, when the new Financial Sector Regulation Act came into effect. The new Financial Sector Conduct Authority, together with the National Credit Regulator, will both be also supervising banks for market conduct henceforth.

It should be noted that the onus for compliance with all laws lies with the management of any bank, under the oversight of its Board and shareholders. Regulators such as the Prudential Authority do not manage banks, nor do they oversee the operations of a bank on a day-to-day basis. VBS Mutual Bank’s (VBS) financial year ends in March.

With regard to VBS, I want to refer the Honorable Member to the report released by the SA Reserve Bank titled “The Great Bank Heist” issued by independent investigator Advocate T Motau and his team, made public on xxx October 2018 (and which can be accessed from www.resbank.co.za).

With regard to your specific questions related to the acceptance of illegal of municipal deposits, it should be noted that VBS is allowed to accept deposits in terms of section 54(1)(a) of the Mutual Banks Act, 1993 which reads as follows, “A mutual bank may, subject to the provision of this Act and such directives as may from time to time be issued by the Registrar- a) accept deposits and grant loans, advances or other credit in the Republic.” There is no specific provision in the Mutual Banks Act which prohibits mutual banks from accepting deposits from municipalities, but section 7((3) of the Municipal Finance Management Act 56 of 2003 (MFMA) prohibits a municipality from opening a bank account with an institution that is not a registered bank in terms of the Banks Act. Since the SA Reserve Bank does not specifically monitor with compliance of the MFMA, it (and National Treasury) only became aware that such deposits were not legal in 2017.

The Report by Adv Motau outlines new facts that the SA Reserve Bank is still considering, especially given that many there was massive fraud committed, including in the monthly and audited financial statements. Further investigations are also taking place as a result of this report.

The SA Reserve Bank and Government will respond in more detail (including on municipal deposits) when all or most of the investigative processes have been completed and make public.

Horn, Mr W to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry

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) As previously indicated, including in an engagement with the former Public Protector as she was preparing her report “The State of Capture”, I met with members of the Gupta family on a number of occasions between 2009 and 2013. As Minister of Trade and Industry, my work involves frequent interactions with a wide range of business people as well as actual or potential investors.

In 2009, I received a request to meet with Duduzane Zuma to discuss some of his business ideas. I knew Duduzane since he was a child in Maputo and agreed to a meeting at my residence in Cape Town. Mr Zuma arrived with Mr Ajay Gupta and this was the first time that I met a member of that family. Mr Gupta told me that his company had spent a considerable sum on preparation of a feasibility study for a mining project, which had been submitted to the IDC. He complained that the application was taking a long time to process and that they were in danger of losing the option to buy from the existing owners. If this happened, he said, hundreds of workers would lose their jobs.

As with innumerable similar representations made to me both before and since, I responded saying that as Minister I could not and would not get involved in deciding on the merits of any particular application. That was the task of professionals employed to assess applications according to defined criteria. In this regard I had confidence in the robustness of the procedures of the IDC, overseen by a board then chaired by the wife of a prominent opposition politician. I did, however, say I would refer his complaint of the time delay to the IDC - as I have with numerous other similar complaints with regard to procedures by the department or agencies reporting to it.

The IDC advised me that they would assemble a team to take the application to the point of decision and I left it at that. I was never advised as to whether the project had merit or otherwise, nor did I give or receive any directive as to the outcome of the decision. Shortly thereafter the IDC ceased reporting to the Minister of Trade and Industry and I heard nothing further of the progress of this application.

The period after 2009, was one in which government made considerable effort to enhance South-South relations, including with India bilaterally and within the context of BRICS. I participated in numerous business fora, both in South Africa and India, organised by different formations in both countries. Members of the Gupta family attended a number of these.

In a few occasions (maybe 5 or 6 times) I accepted invitations to social events organised by members of the Gupta family (as at the time did many other politicians, including the Premier of the Western Cape, Helen Zille). These included a cultural event on the side-lines of an international cricket match and on occasions, I also went to a few events at their residence. Most of these were social occasions where several other people were also present. On very few occasions, I accepted personal dinner invitations with my wife at which the mother of the Gupta brothers was also present. Discussion on these occasions were broad and general and mostly social in nature with an emphasis at the time on the value of deepening economic relations with India. They also informed me, in general terms, of their plans to establish a new Newspaper.

To the knowledge of the Ministry, approximately 6 years ago a meeting at the request of the Gupta family was held at the dti offices in Tshwane. This was attended by myself and dti officials. The nature of this meeting was similar to innumerable other meetings of the type with other potential investors, both domestic and foreign. My consistent message on all such occasions (and in all interactions with members of the Gupta family) was that requests for access to any programme or facility should be directed to the department or agency concerned following the prescribed procedure and would be decided on by officials charged with assessing such applications according to defined criteria. In the event no follow up meetings were requested or held.

On one occasion I was invited, while on a visit to Mumbai, to a warehouse where computers assembled at the family’s facilities in South Africa were received for export to India. At the end of this visit, I was given a laptop computer. I subsequently donated this for use by the Small Enterprise Development Agency and showed the documentation on this to the former Public Protector.

I attended the family’s wedding at Sun City, largely because I was under the impression that there would be a number of Indian business people and government officials it would be with while interacting with. That, in fact, did not materialise. Thereafter I have had no direct contact with any member of the Gupta family.

As indicated earlier, the information given above was shared with the former Public Protector and her team, who interviewed me in preparation of her report, “The State of Capture”. I am similarly prepared to interact with the Zondo Commission or its investigators in any way they see fit.

Reply:

1. I attended the Cabinet meeting of 9 December 2015 in my capacity as Deputy President of the Republic. It was at this meeting that a decision was made to issue a request for proposals for a nuclear new build programme, and at which it was also agreed that any decision to proceed further with a nuclear build programme would take place after the Request for Proposals process had been completed and a final funding model developed.

2. Discussions in Cabinet are confidential and it is therefore not possible to provide information on individual contributions to the discussion. All members of Cabinet, regardless of their personal views, are bound by decisions taken by Cabinet and are collectively responsible for implementing those decisions.

3. I have publicly stated that I am available to give evidence at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture should the Commission deem it necessary.

Lees, Mr RA to ask the President of the Republic

What are the details of (a) the purpose(s) for which the US$ 25 billion in funding pledged by the government of the People’s Republic of China towards his economic stimulus package will be utilised and (b) all the terms and conditions attached by the Chinese government to make the specified funds available?

Reply:

a) A number of agreements were signed between the governments of South Africa and the People’s Republic of China, and between different state entities and private companies in the two countries, during the state visit by President Xi Jinping to South Africa in July 2018 and during my state visit to China in September 2018, prior to the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).

Taken together, the agreements reflect a commitment of around US$15.2 billion in equity investments and loans across a range of industrial sectors, mining, infrastructure and services. The funding will, among others, support cooperation on special economic zones, trade and investment relations and financing for state owned entities.

b) Eskom and Transnet entered into loan agreements with Chinese banks.

Eskom entered into a loan agreement with the China Development Bank for R33 billion. The facility has a grace period of five years and thereafter the principal amount is repayable by Eskom in 20 instalments over a period of 10 years. There are no specific conditions for this loan.

Transnet entered into a R4 billion loan agreement with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to finance the general operating activities and certain capital expenditure of Transnet. The facility is a five-year, rand denominated, quarterly amortising loan, at a floating and competitive interest rate. The loan came with terms and conditions that are standard for this type of loan.

In addition, there were agreements signed between private sector companies of China and those of South Africa. The conditions attached to each of these agreements are a matter between the respective parties.

Reply:

I wish to inform the Honourable Member that I do not have any information regarding a joint Ministerial Investigation regarding the alleged bungling of cases between the State Prosecutors and Defence Attorneys.

Individuals complaints are submitted against decisions taken by individual prosecutors, Deputy Directors of Public Prosecution and/or the National Director of Prosecutions, these complaints referred to the Acting National Director of Public Prosecution for investigation and reply to the complainant, as only the Acting NDPP can decide on matters relating to prosecution, in terms of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 and the National Prosecuting Authority Act, 1998 (Act No. 32 of 1998)

It would be appreciated if the Honourable Member could please clarify the question, if additional information is required.

(b) Therefore falls away.

Mulaudzi, Adv TE to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

What (a) number of beneficiaries has not received their money from teh Guardians Fund due to a lack of supporting documentation and (b) amount was returned from teh Guardians Fund to the Pension Fund since 1 April 2014?

Source

Reply:

(a) In terms of section 89 of the Administration of Estates Act 1965 (Act No. 66 of 1965), the Master shall upon application of nay person who becomes entitled to receive funds out of the Guardians Fund, pay that money to the that person. Prior to any payment processed, supporting documentation together with the application has to be submitted, to verify that the correct beneficiary is paid.

In some instances, funds are received from the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) without supporting documentation and/ or information to identify the person to whom the funds belong to. Beneficiaries can then not receive their money from the Guardians Fund due to lack of supporting documentation to identify them. These funds then need to be sent back to GEPF, instead of paying tot eh beneficiaries.

Based on the above, since 2016, funds of approximately 1 044 beneficiaries were refunded to GEPF.

(b) Since 2016, an amount of R192 914 462.69 in favour of the 1 044 beneficiaries was refunded to GDPF due to lack of supporting documentation to identify them.

Additionally, a decision was taken in 2016 to return unidentified funds received to GEPF, after opportunity was afforded to the GEPF to ensure that appropriate documentation be submitted as the non-receipt of supporting documentation places an unacceptable level of risk on the Guardian`s Fund which in effect represents a transfer of risk from the GEPF to the Guardian`s Fund.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Finance

(a) What is the total equitable division of revenue for (i) local and (ii) provincial government that the Government allocated to the Northern Cape in the past five financial years in comparison to allocations to the other eight provinces and (b) what amount of the equitable division of revenue was spent on Namaqualand and specifically the Richtersveld?

Source

Reply:

(a)(i)(ii) Table 1 shows the allocations to the Northern Cape province and municipalities in that province, as well as allocations to each of the other 8 provinces over the last five financial years. This information is published annually in the Division of Revenue Bill, available at www.treasury.gov.za.

Table 1: Provincial and local government allocations in the Division of Revenue, 2014/15 – 2018/19

(b) Table 2 shows allocations for Namakwa District Municipality and Richtersveld Local Municipality over the past five financial years. The provincial allocations for these municipalities were obtained from the Vulindlela system that captures provincial spending and includes geographic locators for some spending. However some spending that benefits the province as a whole (including these municipalities) will not be included in these numbers. This data should therefore be treated as the minimum amount that was allocated to be spent in these municipalities by the Northern Cape Province.

Local government allocations are taken from the annual Division of Revenue Bill, available at www.treasury.gov.za. The allocations shown for Namakwa District Municipality include allocations for the district municipality as well as all of the local municipalities in the district.

Schmidt, Adv H to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation

(1)Whether (a) she and/or (b) her department have been informed of the dispute in respect of South Africa’s northern border with the Republic of Namibia (Namibia), in particular with reference to the determination of the international border between South Africa and Namibia regarding the Orange River Delta Diamond Megaplacer paleo channel; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (2) whether the dispute has been resolved; if not, what steps does she intend to take to resolve the dispute; if so, what was the outcome of the dispute resolution?

Reply:

(1) a) Yes, my Department and I are fully aware of the matter of the Orange River Boundary between South Africa and Namibia. The Honourable Member may be aware that as early as 1992, soon after its independence, Namibia requested the then apartheid South African government to move the border between South Africa and Namibia to the middle of the Orange River. Before 1994, discussions on this matter were inconclusive. Later on after 1994, the Namibian government approached the democratic South African government with the same request, namely to move the border between South Africa and Namibia to the middle of the Orange River. The South African government position on this matter is anchored on four (4) pillars, namely:

i. The 1890 Anglo-German Agreement that put the border on the northern bank of the Orange River;

ii. South Africa’s Constitution (Schedule 1A) which defines the territory of the Republic;

iii. The OAU 1964 Resolution AHG/Res.16 (1) on colonial borders, as well the AU Constitutive Act 2001, Article 4(b); and

iv. International Law.

(2) The matter has not yet been resolved. The two countries continue to engage with the view to resolve the matter of the Orange River Boundary. In this regard, in April 2013, the two countries established a Joint Committee of Experts which subsequently submitted its final report to the two governments. In a nutshell, in this report the two sides restate their position on the matter of the Orange River Boundary.

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Finance

(1)What (a) was the (i) nature and (ii) terms of the directive issued by the Bank Supervision Department of the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) to the VBS Mutual Bank for noncompliance with anti-money laundering and/or combatting the financing of terrorism regulations in the 2016-17 financial year and (b) remedial action was the VBS Mutual Bank instructed to take in terms of the specified directive; (2) whether the VBS Mutual Bank took steps to comply with the directive; if so, what are the details of the remedial action taken by the bank to comply with the directive; (3) whether the Bank Supervision Department of the SARB took any steps to monitor and enforce compliance with the directive; if not, why not; if so, (a) what steps were taken and (b) how often was monitoring conducted?

Source

The SA Reserve Bank is the authority responsible for the supervision of banks and mutual banks in terms of the FIC Act and has provided the following response:

1. Information pertaining to the administrative sanctions imposed on VBS Mutual Bank for its non-compliance with the FIC Act was set out in the SARB’s media statement published on 4 August 2017. For the ease of reference, the details as per the media statement have been set out below:

“The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has imposed administrative sanctions on VBS Mutual Bank (VBS) for non-compliance with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001, as amended (FIC Act) and has directed VBS to take remedial action. This was after the SARB conducted an inspection in terms of the FIC Act and found weaknesses in VBS’s anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism control measures.

The FIC Act mandates the SARB to ensure that banks have adequate controls in place to combat acts of money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Flowing from these responsibilities, the SARB inspects banks to assess whether they have appropriate measures in place as required by the FIC Act.

It should be noted that the administrative sanctions were not imposed because VBS was found to have facilitated transactions involving money laundering or the financing of terrorism but because of weaknesses in VBS’s control measures.

The administrative sanctions imposed on VBS are a financial penalty of R2.5 million and a directive to take remedial action in the following areas:

i) identifying and verifying customers’ details (better known as know-your-customer or KYC requirements);

ii) failure to comply with cash threshold reporting requirements in terms of section 28 of the FIC Act;

iii) failure to formulate and implement adequate processes and working methods to detect and report property associated with terrorist and related activities in terms of section 28A of the FIC Act.

iv) failure to formulate and implement adequate processes and working methods which would enable VBS to detect and report suspicious and unusual transactions in terms of section 29 of the FIC Act.

However, R2 million of the financial penalty is suspended, in terms of section 45C(4)(c) of the FIC Act, for a period of one (1) year from 7 June 2017, subject to VBS adhering to certain conditions imposed by the SARB.”

VBS was directed to implement several remedial measures to rectify the identified areas of non-compliance by no later than 31 December 2017. VBS subsequently submitted a request to extend the aforementioned implementation date until 31 December 2019. However, after having duly considering the request for an extension received from VBS, the SARB granted an extension in the implementation date until 31 December 2018.

2. The inspection report contained timelines for the remediation of all FIC Act non-compliance matters which had been identified during the inspection. VBS was directed to implement the appropriate remedial measures to rectify AML/CFT non-compliance by no later than 31 December 2017 (subsequently extended until 31 December 2018 as detailed in the response to question 1).

3. VBS was required to provide the SARB with the quarterly update reports on the progress made with the implementation of the specified remedial measures. VBS submitted progress reports dated 31 March 2017, 20 November 2017 and 31 January 2018. The SARB reviewed the aforementioned reports and provided VBS with feedback where necessary.

I have become aware of a difference in interpretation, amongst members of the DOD, given to the application of National Treasury Regulations applicable to the remuneration of Audit Committee members. I have written to the Minister of Finance to request clarity on the correct application of the applicable National Treasury Regulations and will be in a position to respond to the questions posed here once such response has been received.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Finance

Whether the Government intends to provide a rescue plan and/or resources to rescue VBS Mutual Bank from liquidation; if not, why not; if so, what (a) is the rationale for the provision of a rescue plan and (b) are the relevant details of the rescue plan?

Source

Reply:

On the 9 August, following the recommendation from the Registrar of Banks, the Minister placed the Venda Building Society (VBS) Mutual Bank under curatorship as a consequence of the bank being unable to honour its financial commitments. Government’s primary focus is to protect ordinary retail depositors. The curatorship process is still in progress, including a forensic investigation. Following an initial report from the curator, government has already provided a guarantee to the South African Reserve Bank amounting to R336 million to facilitate the repayment of all retail deposits up to R100 000 per retail depositor, starting from Friday, 13 July 2018. Retail deposits are defined as deposits in VBS by individuals, burial societies, stokvels and savings clubs, collectively referred to as retail depositors. The guarantee does not cover municipal or corporate deposits.

Details of the qualifying depositors and modalities of payment of retail depositors can be found in Annexure A[1]. The Government will only make a final decision on further steps to take on VBS Mutual Bank once the curator and forensic investigators have submitted a further substantive report.

Beyond rescuing ordinary depositors outlined above, there are therefore no plans to rescue VBS Mutual Bank from liquidation.

Reply:

The application for mineral commodities mine rights in Xolobeni would be done through the Department of the Minerals (DMR). The DMR regulate the mining sector amongst other using the Mining Charter which spells out how BEE should be arranged and implemented in the mining sector. The DMR is therefore the appropriate National Department to furnish information regarding entities that applied for mineral commodities mining rights as well as their BEE credential and plans as the process is governed by the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 28 of 2002, of which the DMR is the custodian.

Reply:

The investigation and a comprehensive charge sheet, with regard to Silverton, CAS 155/07/2011, has been finalised. The suspects in this matter were arrested, on 21 September 2011 and on 4 October 2011, respectively. The case was subsequently withdrawn against the accused, on 4 December 2011, based on a decision by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

Based on a decision by the Supreme Court of Appeal, the matter was re-enrolled on the court roll at the Serious Commercial Crimes Court, Pretoria, on 1 April 2015. However, it was struck from the roll, on 6 July 2015, due to the fact that the documentation, which the State would be relying upon, was not yet declassified by the South African Police Service (SAPS).

This matter cannot proceed as the SAPS has not yet declassified the documentation, which was used in the commission of the alleged crimes.

The investigation includes the allegations made by Major General M Hankel, in the report to the Inspector General of Intelligence.

On 17 May 2017, the then Acting National Commissioner of the SAPS, Lieutenant General Phahlane, informed the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP),

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

Whether the Cabinet considered any other options for the long-term Defence Policy and Defence Strategic Trajectory of the country prior to adopting the 2015 Defence Review; if so, (a) why did the Cabinet approve the 2015 Defence Review, (b) on what bases were the other options excluded and (c) what are the summaries of the details of the other options?

Source
Link

Reply:

The Cabinet considered three (3) separate policy options in the development of the Defence Review 2015. Quoting directly from Paragraphs 103 – 110 of Chapter 9 of the Defence Review 2015, these were:

(a) Strategic Policy Option 1: Maintain the Status Quo.

i) Should, for whatever reason, the Defence Strategic Trajectory not be achieved, the Defence Force would have to enter into an urgent redesign process to counter its current state of critical decline and attempt to establish a healthy, though significantly reduced defence capability, that would be focussed primarily on domestic matters. Its primarily domestic orientation and reduced capabilities would provide a very limited capability to: defend territorial integrity, ensure national sovereignty and support South Africa’s continental leadership role.

ii) The significantly reduced force design would have to arrest the critical decline in the Defence Force and establish limited capabilities that:

are lighter and cheaper with a greater tooth-to-tail ratio;
reduce the overhead costs of headquarters and command structures to single command corps;
establish balance within a lighter force;
reside within relatively unsophisticated main operating systems;
meet a significantly reduced level of standing domestic and international defence commitments; and
promote a spatially dispersed footprint.

(iii) This significantly redesigned force would have to be modelled according to the following concepts for it to develop utility:

A lighter, infantry-based landward capability focussed primarily on internal operations.
An air defence capability focussed primarily on light, tactical mobility.
A littoral maritime defence capability focussed primarily on the protection of territorial waters.
A Special Force capability focussed on a limited spectrum of Special Force operations.

(b) Strategic Policy Option 2: Implement the Defence Strategic Trajectory Independently

The pursuit of the Defence Strategic Trajectory will, over time, develop a defence capability capable of conducting major combat operations in the defence and protection of South Africa, its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The capability created would be commensurate with South Africa’s continental leadership responsibilities, establishing the gravitas required in support of Africa’s peace and security architecture. The ability to project forces over long distances and sustain them for protracted periods of time will further bolster South Africa’s continental leadership responsibilities and influence, as well as making a significant contribution to the security of South Africa’s vital national interests.
Should Government wish to pursue the Defence Strategic Trajectory on a solely national basis, it would take significant time to establish all the necessary competence and capabilities to achieve the degree of defence capability set out in Milestone 4.

(c) Strategic Policy Option 3: Implement the Defence Strategic Trajectory in Partnership

Government may consider a course of action that would shorten the duration of the Defence Strategic Trajectory. In essence, the main point of leverage would be the extent to which Government might decide to pursue the Defence Strategic Trajectory with the assistance of either a strategic partner or a number of strategic partners.
Partnering, either with a single strategic partner or with multiple strategic partners in specific capability areas, would accelerate the overall implementation of the Defence Review and the Defence Strategic Trajectory, as well as leverage a number of funding options for the trajectory.

The Department currently does not routinely monitor such cases at university and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) campuses. The Department has initiated a process to collect such data from institutions and developed an instrument to be distributed to institutions. Once responses have been received, a report will be provided.
The Gender Based Violence (GBV) Policy and Strategic Framework is still in the process of development. HEAIDS developed the draft GBV Policy and Strategic Framework, and handed them over to the Department on 26 August 2018. The formal policy development process still needs to be conducted, such as conducting further external consultation, including with the Departments of Social Development, Health, Women, Justice and Constitutional Development, and the National Prosecuting Agency; a Socio-Economic Impact Assessment Study needs to be conducted; and a public comments process. The GBV Policy and Strategic Framework will provide an implementation plan that includes monitoring and reporting on incidents. Once finalised and published, the Department will monitor the implementation of the policy.

The collective agreement excluded senior inspectors from payment of an upskilling benefit however 24 names of senior inspectors were incorrectly included in the list of officials entitled to the benefit.

This mistake was identified after payment and senior inspectors were informed of the erroneous payment and repayment arrangements made.

In 2016/17, 17 employees were overpaid as a result of resignations subsequent to the salary payment date which is the 15th of each month. These overpayments were recovered from the leave pay-outs.

In this period an allowance due to the one official was incorrectly calculated resulting in overpayment. This was identified and the official made arrangements to repay the money.

In 2017/18, 16 employees were overpaid as a result of incorrect calculation of their 13th cheque.

(f) No interest was charged.

Railway Safety Regulator

(a)(i) During March 2017, the Railway Safety regulator became aware of overpayment of bonusses during the 2015/16 Financial Year period had been detected, and that recovery of such overpayments had to be initiated. The over-payment resulted in the incorrect salary scales being utilized for calculation of bonuses. A total of thirty nine (39) employees were affected:

The current RSR Debt Recovery Policy makes provision for recovery of overpayments for salaries, allowance and other related payments. The recovery of 2015/16 bonus overpayments was in line with the Debt Collectors Policy, and full consultations of employees has been concluded, as required. Recovery of the overpayment amounts for bonusses paid to executives during the 2015/16 financial year period, had commenced in March 2017. Recovery from other employees commenced in September 2017, in accordance with Section 9.6.2 of the RSR Debtor Management policy, which stipulates that “all internal debts shall be recovered within twelve months. The CEO may, under exceptional circumstances and upon submission of a motivation, approve any repayment period exceeding twelve months”. Consultations with the affected employees were conducted and employees were provided with the opportunity indicate their repayment preferences. Although it was the intention of the RSR to recover such overpayment during the 2017/18 financial year, with effect from September 2017 salary payments, certain RSR employees opted to repay their respective debt amount over a 12-month period, whilst permission was granted to 2 employees to exceed the twelve-month provision.

(a)(ii) No overpayments since April 2018 have occurred.

The Table below indicates the amounts which were recovered, as well as the period for such recovery. All monies have been recovered, and no interest was charged or paid.
