Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(a) What are the relevant details of the Early Grade Reading Norms and Standards that are meant to be implemented by provincial education departments and (b) what progress has each province made in meeting the specified norms and standards?
Reply:
Response:
(a) The relevant details of the Early Grade Reading Norms and Standards which are meant to be implemented by provincial education departments are explained in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) from Grades R – 3. These include the text types that learners should engage with in a 2 weekly cycle and the time allocation per grade for each term of the year. They also contain the components of reading such as decoding, sounding letters of the alphabet, letter recognition to reading words and reading fluency which is clearly described in the Annual Teaching Plan (Section 3) of the CAPS. Additional guidelines were developed in February 2018 and mediated through the Foundation Phase Subject Committees and workshops at national, provincial, district and teacher training, as well as through Professional Learning Communities.
(b) Progress by province in meeting the specified norms and standards as per the CAPS are reported on quarterly through the National Strategy for Learner Attainment (NSLA). In addition, the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) Programme is being implemented to assist teachers to evaluate learners reading progress. Base-line, mid-line and end-line assessments are conducted to evaluate learners. Currently, 1670 schools are using EGRA to support the implementation of the CAPS.
The Primary School Reading Improvement Programme (PSRIP) was launched in October 2016. As a result, 11 712 Foundation Phase teachers and 263 subject advisors have trained on reading content and pedagogy in preparation for delivering the reading component of the CAPS. The table below details the progress as at 30 September 2018 on the above programmes in provinces.

1 (a). The bench mark study tour was initiated and funded by the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) to assist the research work currently underway in the ELRC. Four(4) countries were visited, namely Finland, Singapore, Canada and Brazil.
(b). The engagements with the countries various departments took place from 26 February 2018 to 9 March 2018. The dates were as follows:
- Finland : 26 February 2018 – 27 February 2018.
- Singapore : 28 February 2018 – 2 March 2018.
- Canada : 5 March 2018 – 6 March 2018.
- Brazil : 8 March 2018 – 9 March 2018.
(c). At an Education Indaba in 2017 that was organised by the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC), three streams of work were identified to be undertaken to address challenges relating to education provisioning and related matters. One of these pertinent matters is post provisioning, which has become one of the difficult issues in the different provincial education departments in South Africa.
In addressing the issues raised by the Post Provisioning Commission at the Education Indaba, the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) commissioned desktop research to assess how international countries have approached post provisioning challenges, managed compensation of teachers and adopted effective distribution models within their education system. Based on the research, the four (4) countries that were identified that could best assist South Africa with its challenges and provide possible solutions.
During the visits three (3) focus areas were concentrated on primarily because of the South African context. The areas were:
- Annual and long-term human resource (HR) planning (teachers and other personnel) at state, provincial, and school levels;
- Budget allocation and funding structures from Grade R/ Kindergarten to Matriculation levels taking into account factors such as poverty, special education needs, and specialist subjects; and
- Norms and standards for HR provisioning in small and/or rural schools.
2. (a). The names of the departmental officials were the following:
- Mr T Kojana: Eastern Cape Department of Education;
- Adv T Malakoane: Free State Department of Education;
- Ms N Mutheiwana: Limpopo Department of Education;
- Ms L Moyane: Mpumalanga Department of Education;
- Mr E Mosuwe: Gauteng Department of Education;
- Ms S Semaswe: North West Department of Education;
- Mr T van Staden: Northern Cape Department of Education;
- Mr M Cronje: Western Cape Department of Education;
- Mr S Faker: Department of Basic Education; and
- Mr M Mfela: Department of Basic Education.
The names of the union officials were the following:
- Mr B Manuel: Teacher Union Executive Director: CTU ATU;
- Mr M Maluleke: Teacher Union SADTU; and
- Mr M Galorale: Teacher Union: SADTU.
The teacher unions identified the officials that were to attend on their behalf and they were invited separately from the DBE officials. The information on how the union officials were identified therefore needed to be obtained from the unions.
(b). The departmental officials were chosen because of their expertise and responsibility in either post provisioning, human resource management, early childhood development and finance. Unions were required to identify their own representatives.
(c) (i). The entire benchmark study tour was orgainised by the ELRC based on the resolutions taken at the Education Indaba 2017. The ELRC funded the entire study tour. There were no financial implications for the Department.
The Department is not in a position to provide the cost for each delegate on the benchmark tour.
(c) (ii). See (c) (i) above.
3. A detailed report with findings and recommendations were drafted by the ELRC with inputs provided by the delegates. A copy of the report may be requested from the ELRC.

(b)(i),(ii) ,(c) Please refer to Annexure A.
(d) With regard to properties not transferred under the Restitution Programme, there are conflicts amongst claimants that impact on their ability to take ownership. With regard to other programmes, properties have not been transferred since the current government policy provides for leasing of state land with an option to purchase. The transfer must therefore be preceded by a lease and the exercise of an option.
(e) Properties under the Restitution Programme will be transferred to the claimants as soon as the instability and disputes are resolved amongst claimants. The balance of the properties will be transferred after the relevant farmers exercise their option to purchase.

Malatsi, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Small Business Development
a) What is the total amount that was (i) budgeted for and (ii) spent on her private office (aa) in each of the past three financial years and (bb) since 1 April 2017 and (b) what was the (i) remuneration, (ii) salary level, (iii) job title, (iv) qualification and (v) job description of each employee appointed in her private office in each of the specified
Reply:
The Ministerial Handbook provides guidelines on the appointment of the staff in the Private Office. It equally provides the recommended salary levels of each post. The salary levels are adjusted on an annual basis as prescribed in the Public Service Regulations.
The Office of the Minister has a staff complement as defined in the Ministerial Handbook. In line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPi) and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, I am unable to provide the members with such confidential information in the manner it is requested.
I however draw the honourable members to the Department’s Annual Report wherein the organogram of the Department provides the information required. Should it be insufficient, the Department will make the personal files of the officials available for further scrutiny by the Auditor General as prescribed by the Act.

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
What (a) will be the capacity of each faculty at each institution of higher learning in 2019 and (b) number of first year students will each specified institution of higher learning be able to accept in 2019?
Reply:
(a) Universities have a variety of ways in which they name their faculties, and therefore, the programmes offered by faculties across institutions vary considerably. The enrolment plan for each university is not developed per faculty, but rather for the institution as a whole. It is therefore not possible to indicate the capacity of each faculty at each institution. However, it is possible to provide the planned overall enrolments per field of study at each university.
Table 1 below shows the approved enrolment planning targets for each university by major fields of study in Science, Engineering and Technology; Business and Commerce; Education and Other Humanities, for 2019.
(b) The approved number of first-time entering students across all fields of study that each university will be able to accept in the 2019 academic year, is indicated in table 2 below.

Mashabela, Ms N to ask the Minister of State Security
Whether the so-called spy tapes were produced by the SA Revenue Service’s High-Risk Investigation Unit which was handed to Mr Michael Hulley for the former President, Mr JG Zuma’s defence; if not, who produced the tapes; if so, who handed the tapes to Mr Hulley?
Reply:
The EFF is advised to request the South African Revenue Service to indicate whether it produced the so-called spy-tapes.
Furthermore, the requested information is of such a nature that it would form part of the broader operational strategy of the State Security Agency and therefore as a matter of policy the SSA does not disclose such information. It should however be observed that the SSA is held accountable on such matters by the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI).

[NW3806E]
Reply:
The final report will be released in the first week of December 2018.
- The final report is currently with the printers. The delay was due to the NCC:
- consulting certain regulators and entities that have been drawn into particular recommendations;
- seeking legal opinions on the implementation of certain recommendations.
The intention of the NCC was to not merely release the report to the public but to also provide a broad implementation plan.

Oosthuizen, Mr GC to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
Will the National Financial Student Aid Scheme (NSFAS) be (a) scrapping or (b) amending the so-called student-centred model adopted in 2018; if so, what are the features of the future system to disburse payments to students; (2) what does it mean that there has only been a 46% utilisation of the funds made available by the NSFAS by technical and vocational education and training colleges as at 30 August 2018?
Reply:
- (a) No decision has been made on the scrapping of the student-centred model.
(b) Part of the Terms of Reference for the Administrator is to work with the Department of Higher Education and Training to review the business processes of the entity and make long-term recommendations on the future models, structures, systems and business processes necessary for an effective National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).
2. The budget allocation for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college students was calculated on an expected proportion of eligible students linked to the enrolment plan. The number of students that have taken up the opportunity has been lower than expected for the TVET college sector. A major factor has been a large number of students who have not signed their bursary contracts. To mitigate this, NSFAS has sought approval from the Auditor-General to pay TVET colleges on proof of registration rather than on the basis of a signed contract.

2) the overall reasons, amongst others, for the prescription of the claims in each month, are claims that prescribed in the following circumstances: while awaiting the judgment in the case of Mvumvu and Others v The Minister of Transport and the RAF (Case CCT 67/10); awaiting the completion of medico-legal reports by medical experts; delays in obtaining confirmation of appointments for assessments for medico-legal reports; delays in obtaining completed medical reports from hospitals; awaiting necessary information from claimants or service providers; files not sent to Regions by consultants prior to prescription of the claim; administrative issues such as incorrect registration, miscommunication between the regions; where direct claimants have subsequently elected to instruct an attorney and summons is not issued before prescription and where claimants failed to provide correct contact information, or contact information subsequently changed and the claimant failed to inform the RAF;
3) The RAF has implemented a Direct Claims Policy with effect from 15 February 2016. The purpose of the Direct Claims Management Policy, amongst others, is to regulate the internal management of Direct Claims to ensure that the rights of Unrepresented Claimants are protected; to ensure that the risks to the RAF are managed; and finally, to manage conflicts of interest that may arise. The Direct Claims Policy provides for consequence management in the event of non-compliance.

(1) (a) Does the Waste Bureau intend to own, operate and commercialise the Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF) industry, and (b) will the Waste Bureau (i) allow private companies to process tyres commercially for the waste-to-energy sector and (ii) implement any trade barriers or restrictions on private companies supplying TDF on a commercial basis to the waste-to-energy sector; (2) (a) why has the Waste Bureau set a zero price point for whole tyres delivered to the cement industry, (b) does a zero price point not provide restrictive trade practices and, as such, ensures that the commercialisation of waste to energy is not possible, and (c) how can TDF be commercialised when the Waste Bureau has set a zero price point for delivered tyres; (3) was it the intent of the Waste Bureau to impose restrictive trade practices for the supply of TDF at no cost to cement kilns; (4) what price point has been set for processed waste tyres (TDF) to the cement industry; (5) (a) will the Waste Bureau allow a certain company to enter the waste-to-energy sector, and (b) is the specified company regarded as a competitor by the Waste Bureau?
Reply:
(1) (a) The Waste Bureau supplies waste tyres that are used as TDF, and this is currently to cement kilns and brickworks. TDF plays a major role in ensuring the diversion of waste tyres from landfills, and the Waste Bureau will continue to use TDF opportunities in order to continue improving waste tyre diversion rates. The Waste Bureau may also, from time to time, explore TDF related commercial opportunities as mandated in the National Environmental Management: Waste Amendment Act, 2014 (NEM:WAA 2014).
(b) (i) There is nothing preventing private companies from processing waste tyres for the waste to energy sector, and the Waste Bureau is aware of one private company that already supplies TDF.
(ii) The Waste Bureau does not intend to implement trade barriers or restrictions on private companies supplying TDF on a commercial basis to the waste-to-energy sector
(2) (a) cement kilns gain a cost benefit from replacing coal with tyres.
(b) No
(c) See (a) and (b) above
(3) No
(4) The Waste Bureau, up until now, has only supplied whole passenger tyres to the cement industry (unprocessed), and, therefore, there is no price point that has been set for processed waste tyres (TDF).
(5) (a) The Waste Bureau does not have powers to decide which companies should or should not enter the waste-to-energy sector.
(b) No

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Transport
What plans did he put in place to remedy the (a) financial, (b) administrative and (c) governance difficulties currently being experienced by the Road Accident Fund?
Reply:
The Road Accident Fund (RAF) has put the following plans in place to remedy the (a) financial, |
In the longer term the design of the system of road accident compensation must change to address the fact that the existing system is unaffordable, with income not matching expenditure. To this end the RABS Bill, which is currently before the Portfolio Committee on Transport, will address the future financial viability of road accident compensation by ensuring a balance between funding and benefits. In the interim, the RAF has implemented a Cash Management Strategy to ensure that available funding is distributed in an equitable and fair manner. This has since evolved to cash management in the ordinary course of business, which is reviewed in response to the business environment. The RAF ensures that it communicates with service providers to ensure they are kept abreast of developments where necessary. The RAF seeks to ensure that any funds that are not committed due to general savings or delays in procurement, are allocated to the settlement of claims, where possible. The RAF has engaged with stakeholders such as National Treasury and the Department of Transport to ensure awareness, to present status updates and to seek solutions. In addition, the RAF has sought to implement measures to minimize the interruption caused by attachments of the RAF’s bank accounts. |
(b) administrative and |
The existing system of road accident compensation is administratively complex. Fault has to be proven and benefits are not defined, which results in delays in establishing liability and the quantification of claims, often resulting in disputes and protracted litigation, in which the intermediaries have a direct and substantial financial interest. The RABS Bill addresses the shortcomings by, inter alia, providing for defined benefits, on a no-fault basis, paid directly to beneficiaries, in a structured manner, ensuring wider cover, especially to the poor. The RABS Bill further seeks to reduce the administrative complexity inherent in the current system which will see less involvement by intermediaries and more money reaching the intended beneficiaries of the system. In the interim, the RAF addresses improved administration through, inter alia, the RAF’s Annual Performance Plan for the 2018 - 2019 financial year, which addresses the RAF’s administrative challenges by, amongst others, providing for: initiatives aligned to efficient processing of claims; initiatives aligned to providing accessible services: initiatives aligned to effective financial management; initiatives aligned to optimising ICT functionality; initiatives aligned to improving people management; initiatives aligned to RAF transformation; and initiatives aligned to an assured control environment. |
(c) governance difficulties currently being experienced by the Road Accident Fund |
The previous Board was dissolved by the Minister of Transport and an Interim Board was appointed to address governance challenges. The process to appoint a permanent Board has commenced. The process to appoint a CEO re-commenced two months ago. |

Alberts, Mr ADW to ask the Minister of Transport
(1)Whether he can give an indication of the expected and actually realized income regarding the Gauteng e-toll system for each month from 31 December 2013 to date; (2) what type of road user made payments through corporate and individual road users for each month during the same period respectively; (3) what number of e-tags that are recorded have been activated and deactivated for each month during the same period; 4) what is the total (a) amount of legal costs spent on issuing summonses to road users thus far and (b) outstanding debt to the e-toll system for each month of the specified period; (5) whether any consideration is given to reissue summonses; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) what amount has been budgeted for this, (b) what number of persons or institutions will be sued in this regard and (c) on what date will this take place?
Reply:
- Please see Table 1 below for the expected (forecast) versus realized (actual) income.
- Payments are made by an account holder who assumes responsibility to pay the account for the registered vehicles, which can be an individual, a corporate, or a combination. The person/entity that sets up the account does not complete a “field” to indicate if it is a corporate or individual user. As a result, the SANRAL toll system does not record whether a vehicle is registered (or owned) by an individual or a corporate user and the information requested cannot be directly extracted from the toll system. Should more details be required the Member of Parliament is welcome to visit SANRAL Head Office in Pretoria.
- Table 2 below provides, for each month, the number of tags that have been activated and deactivated from December 2013 to date. The table does not reflect the tags registered prior to the December 2013 date, such as the tags that were already in use on the Bakwena route. Tags are deactivated for various reasons, which include the following:
- Movement of tag to a new vehicle
- Movement of vehicles and tags between accounts, e.g. Public Entity and Key accounts
- Deregistrations, etc

3.The Human Sciences Research Council Policy Brief (February 2014) regarding Learnerships and Apprenticeships: Key mechanisms for skills development and capability building in South Africa, demonstrates that learnership and apprenticeship systems lead to employment. They tracked the trajectories of individuals after completing these qualifications, with a hypothesis that it might be difficult for them to access the labour market.
It was evident that the majority of apprenticeship and learnership participants, i.e. 70% and 86% respectively, completed their qualifications and experienced a smooth transition directly into stable employment. For example, 90% of those who completed a learnership reported that they were employed in permanent positions. Most were absorbed by the formal sector in large private firms or by the public sector, and just over half were employed at the same workplace as their experiential training.

Oosthuizen, Mr GC to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)What number of applications for accreditation of educational programmes were (a) received and (b) finalised by the Council on Higher Education in each of the past three financial years;
Reply:
The Council on Higher Education (CHE) provided the following response to the questions posed.
- - (2) The table below shows the number of applications received, finalised and accredited:
Financial year |
Applications received |
Applications finalised |
Applications accredited |

It should be noted that programmes submitted in one financial year might only receive a Higher Education Quality Committee outcome in the following financial year.
(3) (a) Currently, the CHE has 1 128 new applications for programme accreditation that are in various stages of the process. The sharp increase in submissions is due to higher education institutions, and in particular, the universities of technology, submitting replacement programmes for those that are not aligned to the Higher Education Qualifications Sub–Framework (HEQSF). This alignment process has to be completed by December 2019. From the 1 January 2020, first-year registrations will only be allowed in HEQSF aligned programmes.
(b) Over the past three years, the average time from receipt of an application to the final decision on accreditation was 8.5 months.
4. (a) Public universities do not pay any fees for accreditation applications. Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) are required to make a payment before a programme application can be processed. The calculation of fees is based on a cost recovery basis.
(b) (i) The total income received from accreditation for private institutions in the 2017/18 financial year was R5 476 892. This includes fees for a range of different applications, including programme accreditation and site approval. The different application fees are published on the CHE’s website: http://www.che.ac.za.
(ii) The application fee to PHEIs for the accreditation per programme is currently R12 500.
