We are always guided by the Constitution and the Legislative framework in dealing with matters of investigations and allowing judiciary processes to run their course. It is necessary during this period that the municipal service delivery responsibilities are not impacted upon and the administration continues to effectively deliver on their responsibilities. The implementation of service delivery programmes rests with the administration led by the Municipal Manager, which has the responsibility and obligation to continue their work regardless of the impasse experienced at political leadership level.

Ends.

1.(a)  I am not aware of any municipalities affected by the Eastern Cape Provincial Government’s intention to establish interventions in that province, and neither I nor my Department have instructed the provincial government to invoke interventions in the province. I can only become aware of such municipalities, if any, once the provincial government has initiated the interventions and then submitted to me the requisite notices, because interventions are a prerogative of the provincial government. However, I have recently referred to the province a demand from the Legal Resources Centre for an intervention at Makana Local Municipality and a request from Hon. Terri Stander, MP, for an intervention at Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality, for the provincial government’s consideration. I was subsequently notified by the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs that the Provincial Government has intervened at Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality in terms of sections 139(1)(b) and 139(5) of the Constitution.

For reasons already stated above, I am also not aware as to: (b) on what legal provision will each intended intervention rely on, (c) what will be the timeline and (d) what are the expected outcomes of each intervention.

2. Regarding the second question, I am unable to discern what response or details Hon. Mileham wanted to elicit from me because his question is not easy for me to understand. Assuming that he wants to know whether all interventions in terms of section 139 of the Constitution have ever been implemented in the Eastern Cape, then the answer is “No”, not all interventions in terms of this section have ever been implemented in the Eastern Cape. According to records at my Department’s disposal, the provincial government has in the majority of cases invoked interventions in terms of section 139(1)(b) of the Constitution at its municipalities. I have observed that, sometimes, these interventions have been invoked simultaneously with section 139(5) of the Constitution, as is the case at Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality. However, the provincial government has never invoked an intervention in terms of section 139(4) of the Constitution.

I am also unable to provide a direct answer to the second part of this question, as to why the national and/or provincial executive have not acted in terms of the specified constitutional obligation. This is due to the fact that the constitutional obligation Hon. Mileham is referring to has not been specified in the question.

1. SALGA has not informed me of any allegations of the abuse of power and sexual harassment, levelled against its Chief Financial Officer.

(a) I was not informed of any allegations of the abuse of power and sexual harassment. Therefore, I have not instituted any investigations into these allegations.

(b) Not applicable.

2. According to the reply received from SALGA, the organization is also not aware of such allegations. The organization has no record of any complaint levelled against the Chief Financial Officer in terms of the organization’s Grievance Policy and Process. Nor has there ever been a complaint lodged via the anonymous channel that the organization has put in place terms of its Employee Health and Wellness Policy, that is managed through an external Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider namely, CAREWAYS.

The organization has a set of policies approved by the SALGA’s National Executive Committee that includes the following, amongst others:
• Code of ethics and business conduct – the policy objective is to ensure that everyone involved with SALGA, conducts business with the highest standards of ethics, integrity, desired business conduct and professional behavior and ensures that the integrity of both SALGA and its employees is not compromised.

• Harassment policy – the policy outlines SALGA’s stance on harassment, particularly sexual harassment, which constitutes discrimination and ensures a common understanding throughout SALGA, with regard to a misconduct of this nature and sets out the procedures to be adhered to in order to ensure that incidents of harassment are reported and are dealt with seriously, expeditiously and confidentially.

• Grievance Policy and Process – the policy has an objective of affording any employee or group of employees with a grievance as an opportunity to resolve such grievances internally in a reasonable and fair manner.
• Discipline and dismissal policy – the policy provides a code of conduct as a guideline for an unacceptable behavior, which stipulates provisions to regulate the management of misconduct and provides for dismissal of employees for reasons of misconduct.
• In addition to organizational policies, the organization periodically convenes the Women’s and Men’s Dialogue forums for SALGA staff to amongst others, increase women’s engagement in peacebuilding and improve attitudes and perceptions towards coexistence, trust building and appreciation of diversity and social cohesion.

The Minister for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) will not be in a position to respond to the question posed by the Honourable Member. Section 24 of Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA) gives the responsibility for land management use to municipalities. SPLUMA is administered by the Minister for Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR), who would be in a better position to provide a response to questions of this nature.

1. As I have already stated publically in response to these allegations, there is no list of arms earmarked for “land expropriation without compensation”. We will however continue to implement land reform in terms of existing laws including the Expropriation Act 63 of 1975 and the Property Valuations Act 17 of 2014 as well as existing provisions in section 42E of the Restitution of Land Rights Act 22 of 1994, together with any other applicable legislation approved by this Parliament that makes provision for expropriation. The matter on policy and related amendments to effect expropriation without compensation remains work in progress of this Parliament.

The Municipal Investment Regulation 12 state that the responsibility and risk arising from any investment transaction vests in the relevant municipality or municipal entity.

All the municipalities invested with VBS Mutual Bank confirmed that they did not receive any presentation from an official of political organisation at Provincial and/ National level to invest the funds.

(b) All the municipalities invested with VBS Mutual Bank confirmed that they did not receive any instruction from an official of political organisation at Provincial and/ National level to invest the funds.

Municipalities reflected that they used quotations from financial institutions to invest the funds in accordance with their municipal investment policies.

Given the response that no presentations made and/ instruction issued, the questions relating to (i), (ii) and (iii) are not applicable.

Section 13(1) of the Municipal Financial Management Act (MFMA) states that the Minister of Finance, acting with the concurrence of the Cabinet member responsible for local government, may prescribe a framework within which municipalities must (a) Conduct their cash management and investments and

(b) Invest monies not immediately required, (2) a municipality must establish an appropriate and effective cash management and investment policy in accordance with any framework that may be prescribed in terms of subsection (1).

Regulation 6 of the Municipal Investment Regulations state that a municipality or municipal entity may invest funds only in any of the following investment types:

a) Securities issued by the national government

(b) Listed corporate bonds with an investment grade rating from a nationally or intentionally recognized credit rating agency

(c) Deposits with banks registered in terms of the Banks Act 1990 (Act No 94 of 1990)

(d) Deposits with the Public Investment Commissioners as contemplated by the Public Investment Commissioners Act 1984(Act No.45 of 1984)

(e) Deposits with the Corporation for Public Deposits as contemplated by the Corporation for Public Deposits Act 1984(Act No. 46 of 1984)

(f) Banker’s acceptance certificates or negotiable certificates of deposits of banks registered in terms of the Banks Act 1990

(g) Guaranteed endowment policies with the intention of establishing a sinking fund

(h) Repurchase agreements with banks registered in terms of the Banks Act 1990, Municipal bonds issued by a municipality and

(j) Any other investment type as the minister may identify by regulation in terms of section 168 of the Act, in consultation with the Financial Service Board.

The investment with Mutual Bank is not permitted in terms of the Municipal Investment Regulations. The 15 municipalities invested funds contrary to the Municipal Financial Management Act and Municipal Investment Regulations.

Municipalities are prohibited to take instructions from external parties and/ official from a political organization to influence government processes, as it is deemed interference with the administration processes. Municipalities use government legislations, regulations and municipal policies to procure goods and services.

A suspect was found guilty and sentenced to three years imprisonment. Hlabisa, CAS 83/05/2018, was opened for the dockets that went missing from court. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), declined to prosecute.

The rest was incorrectly reported in the first reply to the question. The investigating officer’s office was broken in to and his laptop and the mentioned attempted murder docket were stolen during the housebreaking. The accused in the attempted murder case was found guilty and was convicted after the docket was reconstructed by the investigating officer.

3. The two South African Police Service (SAPS) officials were charged in two different incidents, namely the 13 dockets that were lost at Botshabelo, in 2017, as well as the five dockets that were lost by the FCS Park Road, in 2015. In the Botshabelo case, the accused was found not guilty. The accused in the FCS Park Road case, pleaded guilty. The accused resigned from the SAPS, on 14 September 2015.

One member made a statement during the departmental trial, in Madadeni. A case was opened by the Public Protector, but the NPA declined to prosecute. The member in Madadeni was found guilty in the departmental case and fined R500,00. The other member is no longer employed by the SAPS.

The rest was incorrectly reported in the first reply to the question. The member was not charged, because the docket got lost at the Pretoria North Magistrates Court.

4. The Minister will determine if he should make a statement on this matter.

A Parliamentary question was received regarding the details number of persons who were appointed at senior management level at municipalities since July 2016.

Section 54A and 56 of the Systems Act prescribe that –

1. if the post of municipal manager or a manager directly accountable to the municipal manager becomes vacant, the municipal council must advertise the post in a print-media circulating nationally and select from the pool of candidates a suitable person who complies with the prescribed requirements for appointment to the post;
2. b) a person appointed as a municipal manager or manager directly accountable to the municipal manager must at least have the skills, expertise, competencies and qualifications as prescribed;
3. a municipal council must appoint a municipal manager;
4. (d) a municipal council after consultation with the municipal manager, must appoint a manager directly accountable to the municipal manager;
5. a decision to appoint a municipal manager or manager directly accountable to the municipal manager is null and void if the person appointed does not meet the prescribed skills, expertise, competencies and qualifications;
6. the municipal council must within 14 days of appointment inform the MEC responsible for local government of the appointment process and outcome;
7. the MEC for local government must within 14 days of receipt of the information referred to above and after satisfying himself/ herself that the appointment complies with the prescribed requirements and that the appointment was made in accordance with the Systems Act, submit a copy thereof to the Minister within 14 days of receipt;
8. the municipal council must re-advertise the post if there is no suitable candidate who complies with the prescribed requirements; and
9. the municipal council may, in special circumstances and on good cause shown, apply in writing to the Minister to waive the skills, expertise, competencies and qualifications as prescribed if it is unable to attract suitable candidates.

The Local Government: Regulations on Appointment and Conditions of Employment of Senior Managers (“the Regulations”) prescribe that a municipal council must appoint a selection panel of at least three and not more than five persons to make recommendations for the appointment of candidates to vacant senior manager posts.

(a) In the case of the appointment of a municipal manager, the selection panel must consist of at least the following persons:

(i) The mayor, who will be the chairperson, or his or her delegate

(ii) A councillor designated by the municipal council and

(iii) At least one other person, who is not a councillor or a staff member of the municipality, and who has expertise or experience in the area of the advertised post.

(b) In the case of the appointment of a manager directly accountable to a municipal manager, the selection panel must consist of at least the following persons:
(i) The municipal manager, who will be the chairperson

(ii) A member of the mayoral committee or councillor who is the portfolio head of the relevant portfolio and

(iii) At least one other person, who is not a councillor or a staff member of the municipality, and who has expertise or experience in the area of the advertised post.

(1)(a) The two case dockets, Worcester, CAS 259/10/2015 and 261/10/2015, were submitted to the Senior Public Prosecutor (SPP), on several occasions and returned with guidance on further investigations to be conducted. The last date that the case dockets were returned, was on 5 September 2018 and the Investigating Officer is busy dealing with the instructions, which were issued by the SPP.

(1)(b) The Ombudsman on Policing, in the Western Cape, reports to the Provincial Government and not to the South African Police Service (SAPS). The SAPS can, therefore, not respond to this part of the question.

(1 )(c) The complexity of these cases differ from one to the other and therefore, a standard acceptable time frame cannot be determined.

(2) It has been found that the delay was not intentional. The case was no//e prosequi (refused to prosecute) and was only re-opened by the SAPS, after the complainant approached the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA),to seek clarity.

(2)(a) Not applicable.

The speech that the President delivered in Kimberley as the Commander-in-Chief of the South African National Defence Force on the occasion of Armed Forces Day, on 21 February 2018, does not make reference to any of the assertions made in the question of the Honourable Member.

The section of the speech quoted by the Honourable Member reflects the primary mandate of the SANDF, as prescribed in the Defence Act No. 42 of 2002, Section 2(b), which states: “The primary object of the Defence Force is to defend and protect the Republic, its people and its territorial integrity”.

“The two Heads of State noted that the political and security situation is calm throughout the national territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and took note of the significant progress made in the ongoing electoral process in the country, with regard to the commitments made in accordance with the electoral calendar published on 5 November 2017 by the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) and providing for the organization of presidential, legislative and provincial elections at the end this year.

The size of the land is only determined when claims are processed and researched, as some of the claims could be found to be invalid. Part of the process requires that inspections in loco be conducted. It is only after such inspections that the correct size of the claimed land will be determined.

1. The farms Lukin 643 MS and Salaita 188 MT are amongst the farms that were claimed by Mr. Nthambeleni Hendrick Musekwa, on behalf of the Musekwa Community, before 31 December 1998. This claim was gazetted in 2006, long before it was known that there are coal deposits on the land under claim, and before the Government declared the area a Special Economic Zone. The intention of the Department to expropriate the farms Lukin 643 MS and Salaita 188 MT is for land restoration purposes.

(b) The purpose of the visit to the DRC was to meet with President Kabila. Mr Shadary requested the courtesy call.

(c) None.

2. No other candidate requested to meet with me. If they had, I would certainly have been willing to meet them.

3. (a) I commended President Joseph Kabila for honouring the Congolese Constitution by not seeking a third term. This position is consistent with the Statement that was issued following the 38th Southern African Development Community (SADC) Summit of Heads of State and Government held in mid-August 2018 in Windhoek, Namibia, which also commended President Kabila and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo for upholding the Constitution.

(b) I maintain the same position on President Kabila’s decision not to seek a third term. Contrary to media reports former President Mbeki has not been appointed as a Special Envoy to the DRC, but has agreed to my request, given his vast experience, to assist the government with various issues in the Great Lakes region as a whole.

Section 179(1)(a) of the Constitution provides that the National Director of Public Prosecutions is appointed by the President, as head of the national executive. It is an executive appointment, constitutionally distinguished from those institutions whose members’ appointment involves Parliament.

The disposal of non-core residential state land in urban areas is required when such properties do not contribute to the line function needs of government. The disposal of land is guided by national legislation, the State Land Disposal Act No. 48 of 1961, as well as provincial legislation – the Eastern Cape Land Disposal Act No. 7 of 2000.

Further, in April 2009, the Government Immovable Asset Management Act No. 19 of 2007 was promulgated to regulate uniformity in the management of state assets through its life-cycle, including a surrender plan for assets that do not meet the service delivery objectives of the State.

The properties that are advertised under SCMU5-18/19-PM002 are all vacant or dilapidated residential sites. The systematic release, through the prescribed legislative frameworks, of the State’s immovable assets that are surplus to the needs of Government and that are lying dormant in the urban areas, will promote residential development in municipal areas, as well as provide our people with security of tenure through the attainment of title deeds and also stimulate socio-economic development. The one way of addressing the latter is through the upgrading of dilapidated structures in the urban centres, and by so doing increase the revenue stream of municipalities and generally upgrade the facade of towns.

The Eastern Cape Province, through the said disposal process, aims at addressing the imbalances of the past, which contributed to the skewed land ownership patterns, with the focus on ownership transfer to the designated groups, such as black people, women, youth, military veterans and the disabled. First time home owners will be targeted as preferred bidders.

The province has committed that any site beneficially occupied or identified for strategic economic development will not be disposed.

(a) - (b) The investment drive to mobilise $100 billion over five years targets both the private sector (which includes public and unlisted companies) and general government, including state owned enterprises. The investment drive seeks to encourage investors to invest in the economy through greenfield and brownfield projects. While the emphasis is on fixed investment, government is not prescriptive on the investments.
