NW 2424E

Reply:

Yes, the Mpumalanga Provincial Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs did compensate the livestock farmers of Kwasimu farmers association those affected by the disaster by replacing their livestock.

i. What are the relevant details of all assistance provided to the farmers

The Provincial Cabinet took a resolution that the Department should compensate the farmers who were affected by replacing their livestock. Agricultural Advisors, Animal Health Technicians and Veterinarians were deployed to visit the affected farms. During the visits the Departmental officials verified the number of animals that had died and a list was developed based on the verification. All the farmers who reported to the Department that they lost livestock were visited for verification. The Department had set a period whereby affected farmers were given an opportunity to register the dead livestock. The farmers who did not report any loss of livestock during that period to the Department were unfortunately not recorded in the Departmental list of affected farmers

As part of the compensation, the Department procured 1 000 Nguni Heifers for the farmers based on the approved list of 399 affected farmers who lost 1 583 animals. The replacement livestock was kept within Thembisile Hani Local Municipality at Leeuwkop farm, in Verena for diseases monitoring before handing over to the verified beneficiaries. A task team was formed which was led by department officials based at the Province and District. Ward councilors and farmers’ representative (chairperson of Kwasimu farmers association) formed part of the task team for coordination.

An official handover of the livestock was done by the Hon MEC Gamede on the 18th April 2015 at Kwaggafontein.The distribution of the livestock then commenced on the 19th April 2015 to Saturday 30th April 2015 at Leeuwkop farm.

A distribution strategy was used to ensure a fair and transparent distribution of the livestock to the affected Thembisile Hani livestock beneficiaries:

  • All affected farmers received letters which indicated how many cattle each farmer will receive and the date on when they will come to collect their livestock
  • Farmers provided their own transport for collection
  • A formula was developed by the Department to determine on how many cattle each farmer would receive as compensation. This formula enabled all the farmers to receive livestock and those that have lost more livestock received more livestock as per the formula
  • The farmer signed an acknowledgement letter after receiving the livestock, kept as portfolio of evidence
  • A permit was also provided to allow them to take the livestock to their different locations.

By the end of the distribution period 847 cattle were distributed to the 355 farmers. Some farmers on the list were no longer traceable using their contact numbers and officials went to an extent of delivering the invitations into their homes and dipping tank committees, CDWS and councilors were engaged as an endeavor to get all the listed farmers. A grace period until the 4th of May 2015 was given to allow the farmers who didn’t pitch for collection to come and collect their livestock. After the grace period, the remaining livestock was taken out from Leeuwkop farm on the 14th May 2015 to a farm near Marapyane College research farm, this was to avoid high costs for keeping the livestock on the holding farm.

ii. the names of all beneficiaries,

List of beneficiaries who received the livestock is attached.

iii. the number of cattle each beneficiary received,

A formula was developed to enable the Department to compensate all the affected farmers as per the attached list

iv. Where were the cattle purchased

An approval to procure directly from the breeder Mr. HA Rassouw (Duma Investment) was obtained from the Accounting Officer

v. what was the condition of the cattle and

Most of the heifers were in a good condition as they were certified by local Veterinarians on arrival for diseases and were also monitored on daily basis during the distribution period

vi. the average age of the cattle;

Most of the cattle provided were first time calving heifers and were pregnant. Some gave birth during the distribution period on the holding farm

(2)  Whether his Department and/or the Department of agriculture in Mpumalanga gave any livestock to traditional leaders following the specified livestock mortality disaster;

Yes, from the surplus of the specified livestock mortality disaster, 28 (twenty eight) Traditional Leaders including the Ingwenyamas were given 155 (Hundred and fifty five) cattle following the pronouncement by the then Premier of the Mpumalanga Province Honourable DD Mabuza that the Traditional Leaders should also be supported with livestock.

(3) whether any small-scale farmers affected by the specified livestock mortality disaster were excluded as beneficiaries for assistance; if so, (a) why and (b) which small-scale farmers were excluded?

No affected small scale farmers were excluded.

Profile picture: Carter, Ms D

Carter, Ms D to ask the MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM:

Whether she has found that the pace and quality of land reform had been weak and pathetic as a consequence of weak policy, corruption, lack of will and a lack of capacity; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details? NW2368E

Reply:

No. The slow pace in delivery has resulted mainly from applying the willing buyer willing seller principle which has proven to be ineffective; the use of market value which is not in line with section 25 of the Constitution and the limited budget allocation for land reform.

The establishment of the Office of the Valuer General (OVG) assisted in reducing the value of offers made to land owners since it considers the factors listed in section 25(3) of the Constitution to arrive at equitable compensation for a land parcel instead of strictly and exclusively applying the willing buyer willing seller principle which is market related.

d) The target dates for the bulk release of examination results for the 2015-2017 academic years are more or less the same with insignificant changes due to college recess periods. These dates are in line with those of the past 10 years for both NATED and NC (V) qualifications respectively.

However, there were minor changes to the release date for November examinations. From 2015, the release of results was moved from between the 3rd and 8th January to 31 December. This change was made to afford colleges’ the opportunity to distribute results and conduct candidate registration in time for the new academic year.

To standardise raw marks, the Department is required by Umalusi to capture 95% for a subject to be considered suitable for standardisation. This is an increase from 80% for NATED qualifications.

Largely due to the introduction of an offline data capturing desktop system which provides an easy-to-use mechanism for the capturing of marks, there has been a significant improvement in respect of the timeous release of results compared to the previous ten years. The delays experienced in the release of the results were remnants of challenges inherited with the function shift of the TVET colleges from Provincial Education Departments to the Department of Higher Education and Training.

2. (a)-(c) Despite the general improvement in the timeous release of results there have been exceptions to this.

The Department may only standardise raw marks where the capture rate meets the required 95% as already indicated. In smaller cohorts of students, for example 1 to 14 students, the capture rate needs to be 100% before the subject results can be released.

The Department may not release results for the following reasons:

  • Where an irregularity reported during the conduct of examinations is of such a nature that it affects the overall integrity of the subject, e.g. suspected leakage of papers. In this instance, the results for affected subjects are released as soon as the investigation is completed if nothing wrong is found.
  • Where a candidate is alleged to have engaged in an act of dishonesty during an examination, e.g. copying, ghost writing, and crib notes. The national policy allows for 21 days for the candidate to be informed of the alleged irregularity post resulting and a final decision on the candidate’s status (guilty / not guilty) is made by the National Examinations Irregularities Committee on the basis of reports and evidence submitted and investigations where required. In such instances, the results for the affected candidates are only released where a candidate has been found not guilty.
  • Candidates who wrote examinations starting from the November 2016 examinations without complying with the minimum examination admission requirements (MQ) as indicated in Memorandum 46 of 2015 as well as 80% attendance. These candidates were reflected as MQ in the Schedule of Results released to centres and would therefore not receive a subject result for the affected subject(s). Unfortunately, despite the instruction in Memorandum 46 of 2015, a significant number of candidates who did not meet the requirements were still allowed to write the examinations, which shows that colleges fail to manage the implementation of the minimum examination entry requirements.
  • Where the examination centre has not submitted all the raw marks for all of the components of a subject, the raw marks may not be processed to generate subject results. In instances where a centre submits an outstanding mark (777) the accompanying evidence (scripts, portfolios of evidence) must be verified by both the Department and the quality council before the raw marks can be captured and the results for the affected subjects or candidates are released. This verification process can delay the release of the results of the affected students because Umalusi needs to verify the marks that are submitted outside the examination cycle.
  • Where an examination centre submitted incorrect raw marks and requests the amendment of a mark, the accompanying evidence (scripts, portfolios of evidence) must be verified by both the Department and Umalusi before the raw marks can be amended and the results for the affected candidates are released. This also causes the delay in the release of the results of few affected students.

While the Department is responsible for the entire value chain, some functions are performed by different role players as follows: quality assurance, standardisation and approval of results (Umalusi and QCTO); the development and maintenance of the examination IT system {State Information Technology Agency (SITA)}, processing of examination results (the Department), distribution of results to candidates (TVET colleges).

Generally, the bulk release for the November examination results are released earlier than anticipated to afford colleges an opportunity to begin the new academic year on time. Where the results were not released on the scheduled date, this was due to the non-submission of raw marks on the part of the examination centre; examination irregularities; or due to examination technical IT system challenges.

Delays in the bulk release of 2015 examinations results

A National Examination Irregularities Committee (NEIC) has been established to manage irregularities and to ensure that the results of those found guilty are declared null and void. The core business of the committee is to protect the integrity of the results.

Irregularities can take place at any point in the value chain or organisation and it is always a challenging task to detect the genesis of the irregularities

For the April 2015 examinations all NATED subject results were delayed by approximately 4-9 days due to SITA examination IT processing problems.

For June 2015 examinations all NATED subject results were released on the scheduled dates except for some subjects where the electronic file submitted by the examination centre did not include the raw marks for all candidates or did not fully upload onto the examinations IT system. As a result, the outstanding mark sheets/marks were sourced and the “missing” marks were captured at the beginning of the academic year and an updated schedule of results were released on a date following the bulk release date.

For August 2015 examinations all subjects’ results were released on scheduled dates with the exception of the 25 subjects, namely, Electrical Trade Theory N2, Electro-Technology N3, Engineering Drawing N3, Engineering Science N1, Engineering Science N2, Engineering Science N3, Fitting and Machining Theory N2, Industrial Electronics N2, Industrial Electronics N3, Mathematics N2-N3 and Mechanotechnology N3, Engineering Science N4, Electrotechnics N4, Industrial Electronics N4-N6, Mathematics N4-N6, Mechanotechnics N4-N5, Power Machines N5-N6 and Supervisory Management N6 due to alleged irregularities. These results were delayed with approximately 7-22 days due to the nature of examination anomalies, which required a protracted investigation before the release of the results.

For December 2015 examinations, the results of more than 600 subjects were released on scheduled dates. There were delays in releasing the results of NC(V) (i.e. Stored Programme Systems Level 4); and 3 NATED (i.e. Industrial Orientation N3, Motor Trade Theory N3 and Mechanical Drawing and Design N5) subjects’. This was due to Umalusi requesting re-marking of the scripts of these subjects at certain raw mark intervals (i.e. 30-39% and 40-49%).

Bulk release of 2016 examination results

For April 2016 examinations, all NATED subject results were released on the scheduled dates with the exception of four subjects (4) (i.e. Plating and Structural Steel Drawings N3, Electrical Trade Theory N3, Water Treatment Practice N3 and Waste-Water Treatment Practice N3). The delays were due to the examination centres not having submitted all the raw marks for all of the components of these subjects. The remaining results were released on 16 May 2016, shortly after the scheduled release on 10th May.

For June 2016 examination all NATED results were released on the scheduled dates, except that there were gaps in the subject results for examination centres where the electronic file submitted by the examination centre did not include the raw marks for all candidates. The outstanding mark sheets/marks were sourced and an updated schedule of results were released on a mop-up date following the bulk release date.

For August 2016 examinations all subjects’ results were released on scheduled dates with the exception of 8 subjects, namely, Engineering Science N3, Mathematics N3, N4, N5, Mechano-Technology N3, Electrotechinics N3 and Engineering drawing N2 due to alleged irregularities. In addition, Plant Operation Theory N2 examination results were not released on the scheduled date owing to the examination centres not having submitted all the raw marks for all of the components of this subject. A protracted investigation into examination anomalies delayed these results by 1-23 days.

For December 2016 examinations all subjects’ results were released on scheduled dates with exception of Engineering Science N3, Engineering Science N2, Mathematics N5, Building Drawing N3 and Electrical Trade theory N2 due to alleged irregularities. The results of 13 subjects were delayed due to low capture rate: Aircraft Maintenance theory N3, Aircraft Metalwork Theory N3, Building Drawing N3, Building Science N2, Digital Electronics N4, Electronic Trade Theory N2, Engineering Science N3, Logic Systems N3, Mathematics N5, Motor Electrical Theory N5, Refrigeration N3, and Water and Waste-water Treatment Practice N2. These results were released between 4-10 days after the bulk release of results.

Bulk release of 2017 examinations results

For April 2017 examination all NATED subject results were released on the scheduled dates, except where the electronic file submitted by exam centre did not include the raw marks for all candidates (i.e. it was incomplete) or did not fully upload onto the examinations IT system. An updated schedule of results were released on a mop-up date following the bulk release date.

For June 2017 examination all NATED subject results were released on the scheduled dates except, as indicated previously, where the electronic file submitted by exam centre did not include the raw marks for all candidates (i.e. it was incomplete) or did not fully upload onto the examinations IT system. These were addressed as indicated previously.

For August 2017 examinations all NATED results were released on the scheduled dates with the exception of following subjects, namely, Rigging Theory N2, and Logic Systems N5 owing to the examination centres not having submitted all the raw marks for all of the components of these subjects. The results for these subjects were released on 10 September 2017 (three days after bulk release).

For December 2017 examinations all results were released on scheduled dates with exception of 5 NATED subjects, where there were alleged irregularities, namely, Engineering Science N3, Industrial Electronics N2, Mathematics N2, N3 and MechanoTechnology N2. In addition, there were delays in the release of results for 2 NATED subjects (i.e. Radio Theory N1 and Motor Bodywork Theory N3); and 4 NC (V) subjects (i.e. Engineering Fabrication-Sheet Metalwork L3, isiXhosa First Additional Language L3, Engineering Fabrication- Sheet Metalwork L4, ixiXhosa First Additional Language L4). These results were delayed by approximately 5 days due to the examination centres not having submitted all the raw marks for all of the components of this subject.

(d) The Department conducts a mock end-to-end examination process to simulate the examination process in order to diagnose any examination IT system challenges for improvement purposes. The Department has also met with all role players in the value chain and formed a technical task team to look at all examination challenges including certifications in between examinations. The Director-General also instituted weekly meetings with the SITA Chief Executive Officer and both SITA and departmental senior managers responsible for the examinations function. These meetings have been instrumental in ensuring that the pressure is kept on SITA to resolve the exam IT system challenges and is the reason that substantial improvements have been made in resulting in the past two years.

The Department has built capacity to conduct investigations of any reported examination anomalies or irregularities. Papers that are reported to have been leaked are replaced. If the paper has already been written, the scripts of the candidates are audited to assess if there are common responses that may suggest that candidates had prior access to the paper. The Department has made significant progress in eliminating the phenomenon of leakages. Umalusi commended the Department for managing the April 2018 examination leakages; while in August 2018, the allegations were not confirmed and Umalusi approved the results.

The Department issued a non-compliance directive to all public TVET colleges that displayed non-compliance to a lesser or greater extent in respect to the non-submission or incorrect submission of raw marks. This process has resulted in a significant improvement in terms of the timeous release of results compared to the previous ten years.

Finally, the development of the new integrated examination computer system is at an advanced stage and the data migration process, which entails the transfer of the old SITA data to the new system, is ongoing. The Provincial Education Departments and national examination officials have already tested and assessed the completed modules against the user requirements/ specifications

What (a) lessons has her department learned during past implementation of the Quality Learning and Teaching Campaign and (b) criteria are used to determine the (i) officials and (ii) participants who form part of the campaign?

Reply:

a) Some of the lessons learnt in the implementation of the Quality Learning and Teaching Campaign (QLTC) – For the QLTC and/or social mobilisation to find traction on the ground it must be underpinned by the following approaches:

  1. Engage and secure diverse and strong community participation in the identified programme;
  2. Clearly identify the roles and responsibilities the broader community could play in the execution of the targeted programme;
  3. The community members and/or stakeholders must buy into the programme;
  4. Develop a shared vision with the concerned community;
  5. Jointly conduct the needs analysis of the community at large; and
  6. Constantly monitor, support and report on the progress on the implementation of the programme.

b) Criteria used to determine (i) officials

All teacher unions in the education sector were requested to nominate their senior representatives to serve in the Quality Learning and Teaching Campaign Coordinating Team (QCT) to implement the QLTC non-negotiables. There were five Union Officials who have been seconded to the Department of Basic Education (DBE) as follows: 2 from South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU), 1 from National Professional Teachers Organisation of South Africa (NAPTOSA), 1 from Professional Educators Union (PEU) and 1 from National Teachers Union (NATU). However, the Suid-Afrikaanse Onderwysers Unie (SAOU) resolved to waiver its participation in the secondment arrangement in favour of PEU.

b) Criteria used to determine the (ii) participants who form part of the campaign:

During the launching of QLTC, stakeholders (within and outside the education sector) committed to the QLTC Principles and further pledged their respective roles and responsibilities they could play in strengthening the delivery of quality learning and teaching. The following are the stakeholders in question:

  1. Teacher Unions;
  2. School Governing Body (SGB) Association;
  3. Inter-faith based organisations;
  4. Traditional leaders;
  5. Learner formations including Representative Council of Learners’ (RCL);
  6. Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO’s);
  7. Community Based Organisations (including Councillors); and
  8. Others.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

(1)Whether she has found that students who recently walked out of an examination at the University of Limpopo did so because the examination was deemed too difficult; if not, (2) whether she has found that the walk-out was staged due to a different reason; if so, what (a) was the reason, (b) are the further relevant details of the walk-out, (c) action will be taken to address the situation and (d) consequences will be faced by the students who walked out?

Reply:

1. The University of Limpopo responded to the posed question as follows:

The session was not an examination paper as reported in social and mainstream print and electronic media. It was a scheduled test for the second semester Education Studies (HEDA032) module. While the preliminary outcome of the investigation indicates that the test content was of an appropriate standard, the test cover had mistakes, which resulted in a small number of students disrupting the test session.

(2) (a) and (b) While the Department of Education Studies, in which the module is located, has sufficient summative and formative assessment moderation procedures in place, it was found that the test in question was not subjected to these checks. This unfortunately has been found to be one of the contributory factors that led to the disruptions of the test.

(c) Students and staff (lecturer, invigilators, Head of Department and Director of the School) are being subjected to a formal investigation process.

(d) The matter is still under investigation.

(1)Whether her department’s language policy on higher education, of which the concept was published in the Government Gazette of 23 February 2018, has already been finalised; if not, (a) which processes are still outstanding and (b) what is the timeframe for finalisation; if so, when will it be published; (2) whether her department received and considered submissions from (a) the SA Academy for Arts and Science, (b) the Afrikaans Language Board and (c) Afriforum; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details in each case; (3) whether, if the specified policy is not yet finalised, she will possibly consider hosting a symposium in order to refine it; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (4) whether she has found that the policy is in compliance with her obligation under subsection 6(4) of the Constitution, 1996, to regulate and monitor the use of official languages by means of legislative and other measures, as subsection 27(2) of the Higher Education Act, Act 101 of 1997, has the aforementioned as its underlying basis; (5) whether she will make a statement on the matter?

Reply:

1. The Department is still in the process of finalising the Language Policy for Higher Education, which was published in February 2018 for public comment.

(a) The draft was a revision of the 2002 Language Policy for Higher Education. The Department received a large volume of submissions/inputs from various stakeholders, mainly universities and agencies interested in language development in South Africa. The Department has analysed these inputs and is in the process of developing a final draft taking into account the various comments received. The following aspects of the policy are still outstanding:

  • Department must submit and request the advice of the Council on Higher Education, as required in terms of the Higher Education Act (Act 101 of 1997); this advice may lead to further policy changes; and
  • Socio-Economic Impact Assessment.

(b) The Department envisages that the final policy will be published by 31 March 2019.

2. The Department received submissions from the SA Academy for Arts and Science and AfriForum. No submission was received from the Afrikaans Language Board. All submissions are being considered to ensure that the language policy is consistent with the Constitution and begins to address the historical marginalisation of indigenous African languages. The relevant details of the submissions are as follows:

The SA Academy for Arts and Science welcomed the revised Language Policy for Higher Education and proposed that specific universities be assigned to develop indigenous South African languages. It called for research to be done to establish guiding principles and procedures for the development of new terminology for African languages. Moreover, the Academy suggests that a core cohort of lecturers proficient in African languages be developed to ensure that there are lecturers who can teach in these languages.

Afriforum generally welcomed the review of the policy and called for funding allocations to be made in support of multilingualism at universities. It highlighted the fundamental right of learners/students to receive education in their mother tongue or language of their choice. It supported the proposed partnerships with the Department of Basic Education in promoting the development of all indigenous languages in South Africa. It welcomed the explicit recognition of Afrikaans as an indigenous South African language in the policy.

3. The Department has already held a number of symposiums and seminars on this matter and is not planning to hold any others before the policy is finalised. However, the Department will continue to engage with universities and other relevant bodies regarding the implementation of the policy once it is published.

4. The revision of the Language Policy for Higher Education is being done in compliance with the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 and the Higher Education Act of 1997
(Act 101 of 1997).

5. The Minister will communicate to all stakeholders once the policy has been published in the government gazette for implementation.

  1. (b) (ii) Four of them were initiated by the former employees challenging alleged unfair dismissal based on a combination of misconduct and poor performance. The fifth referred a constructive dismissal case. The last is an alleged breach of employment contract dispute before the Magistrates’ Court by a candidate whose appointment was revoked on the basis of an undisclosed pending fraud case, discovered through verification checks.

The four disputes were initiated in 2017, the last initiated in 2018. Only the fifth has been resolved by way of settlement of four months’ salary. The monetary value of the settlement figure was R117 859.72

PFA

(1)(a)(ii) The Office of the Pension Funds Adjudicator currently has two unresolved labour disputes whose details are as follows:

  1. Labour Court: Mr M v OPFA and others JR2285/15

On 4 August 2015, Mr M was dismissed by the OPFA for poor performance (having followed a poor performance process). Mr M referred an unfair dismissal dispute to the CCMA, alleging his dismissal was procedurally and substantively unfair.

The CCMA found that Mr M dismissal was fair and issued an arbitration award to this effect. Mr M then applied to the Labour Court to have the arbitration award reviewed and set aside. Whilst the pleading stage in the matter is closed, the matter has not yet been set down for hearing.

The OPFA has very good prospects of being successful in the review application.

  1. Unfair dismissal – CCMA case no. GATW9446-18

A former Admin Assistant, Ms M was dismissed in July 2018 due to excessive usage of the OPFA’s telephone for her private and/or personal use. Ms M referred a dispute to the CCMA alleging her dismissal was unfair.

The dismissal was effected following several warnings of misconduct to Ms M for similar misdemeanours, the last of which was a final written warning in September 2017.

In addition, in December 2017 a meeting was held with all staff and employees were specifically warned about excessive usage of the work telephone for private/personal reasons. The conduct from the employee did not stop and excessive usage was once more noticed for the months after the meeting in December 2017. At her disciplinary hearing held in April 2018, the employee pleaded guilty to the misconduct and the chairperson therefore recommended dismissal as the appropriate sanction.

Conciliation was held on 6 August 2018 but the matter could not be conciliated. The matter is now awaiting arbitration proceedings at the CCMA. No date has been provided for these arbitration proceedings.

The OPFA anticipates that it has very good prospects of being successful in defending the arbitration proceedings.

(1)In light of the fact that the (a) SA Revenue Service and (b) Customs Office have proven and uncontested knowledge of the tariffs applicable to the imported material (details furnished) and given the fact that he and/or the National Treasury are provided with regular reports about extended demurrage of the specified items and cost for storage to importers, has he found that there are procedures and processes that are problematic and/or overly bureaucratic, which need speedy resolution in the interest of fairness, rationality and lawfulness; if not, how was the conclusion reached; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether he will make a statement on the matter?

Reply:

The South African Revenue Services has a mandate to control the import, export, manufacture or use of goods. SARS Customs is responsible for implementing a wide range of government policies, including revenue collection, trade compliance and facilitation, control over prohibited and restricted goods, protection of cultural heritage and enforcement of intellectual property laws. 

This mandate is inter alia exercised by the risk based assessment and examination (documentary and/or physical) of goods to ascertain whether the provisions of the Customs and Excise Act No. 91 of 1964, (‘the Act”) or other relevant legislation have been complied with. In this regard, the Act makes provision in section 4(8A) for an officer to stop and detain and examine any goods while under customs control in order to determine whether the provisions of the Act or any other law have been complied with in respect of such goods. Section 107(1)(a) of the Act further provides that all expenses of landing, examination, weighing, analysis etc. of imported goods shall be borne by the importer,  owner or other person , whoever is in control of those goods. The Act further provides in terms of section 107(2)(a)  that goods may be released  on provision of security by the client, pending the final outcome of an intervention.  

This policy position is also internationally applied in the customs legislation of other jurisdictions and is very much aligned to acceptable international practice. In instances where the goods are not dealt with in terms of section 107, such goods are transferred to the state warehouse pending the final outcome of the intervention.

All Customs declarations are submitted through automated channels and risk assessed based on a variety of factors that may include commodity type (tariff), value, origin, rebate provisions etc. In this regard, more than 90% of all trade are automatically risk-assessed and released within seconds. The balance is subjected to documentary inspection where the officer will consider the customs declaration against a variety of trade documents in order to establish correctness and any further possible risks or interpretive matters to be considered. This may lead to further physical examination of the goods.

This process does often result in goods for a particular trader being stopped repetitively over a period of time, and accordingly, SARS was approached by trade to explore improved resolution where the importer/exporter, supplier and commodity type is the same. Formal communication was sent to trade during October 2016, outlining a process through which the client can attach supporting documents reflecting outcomes of previous identical cases for documentary inspection purposes. Customs, at the time, committed to consider and review such supporting documents in their approach to mitigate perceived risk which will assist in reducing the likelihood of an intervention that may require physical inspection. This process is being utilised successfully by most traders today, and although documentary inspection do increase the time to release goods, in most cases this process is concluded within 4 hours after trade submits supporting documents. It is to be noted that there are infrequent incidents where goods are stopped for further examination despite the supporting documentation submitted.

In instances where a trader is uncertain of the correct tariff, value or origin to use on the goods being imported or exported, such trader may apply for a firm determination from SARS. A process, which commenced in May 2018, geared at eradicating the historical tariff determination backlogs resulted in related delays been eliminated. Goods subject to tariff disputes may be cleared with SARS following the section 107 route.

Further to this, SARS Customs is in the process of upgrading its risk systems to the effect that it will provide necessary tools to inspectors to enhance their decision making capabilities and reduce unnecessary and repetitive stops.

Clients who experience delays as a result of this can also contact the Customs Contact Centre or e-mail their query to the Customs Escalations mailbox for assistance. Customs further provides a facility for a Client to apply for Release and provide surety pending the final outcome of an intervention.

In addition to this, in acknowledging the opportunities to improve service, SARS have published a Client Charter which holds SARS accountable against its commitments in processing times and resolving queries within published timeframes.

Why has a certain person (name furnished), whose partner (name furnished) passed away on 1 May 2017, not received a spousal allowance more than a year after the spouse passed away?

Reply:

A certain person (name furnished), (applicant) applied for the funeral benefit in respect of the death of the member, (name furnished), during June 2017. At that time there was insufficient evidence submitted to support the application to be recognized as the life partner of (name furnished) and the accompanying related benefits. The applicant was requested to resubmit her application for recognition of a life partner which resubmitted application was received in March 2018. This application however erroneously indicated that (the applicant) was the child of the deceased in which case the applicant cannot be recognized as the life partner.

It was hereafter established that this was an error as applicant was not the child of the deceased. There were however still insufficient and supporting evidence from the family of the deceased to corroborate the existence of the life partnership as the evidence submitted purported to substantiate the factual dependency of the applicant only due to the family of the deceased not wishing to provide verification of the existence of a life partnership. As a result of the conflicting accounts, the matter was submitted to the internal Fraud Unit of the Government Pensions Administration Agency to validate the existence of the life partnership between the applicant and the deceased. The validation investigation was concluded on 3 September 2018 and payment in this matter in recognition of the life partnership application is currently in process.

SPORTS, RECREATION, ARTS AND CULTURE

Sport, Recreation, Arts, Culture & Library programmes and services are provisioned in such a manner that they add value to lives of participants and are central to the Rehabilitation Plan of each offender in order to assist them to re-order their lives in a positive manner, taking their social economic and cultural background into account.

The SRAC national programmes are structured and coordinated to be geared towards building and supporting self sufficiency and necessary for reducing the likelihood of offenders becoming involved in criminal activities again. This is done through partnership with Departments of Arts and Culture, Sport and Recreation, Sports Federations and NGOs e.g. Libraries: Library, Library Education Programmes.

The following are the National Projects for 2018/19 Financial Year:

  • Training of male and female offenders on Beadwork and Recycle Project is currently being rolled –out in all the Regions, as part of skills development programme that will contribute positively to their Social Economic and Cultural background. There are more than (± 2 250 trained elderly male and female offenders nationally).
  • Funda Mzantsi Project: This annual programme is aimed at encouraging offenders to develop appreciation and knowledge through reading of books, reviewing, provide analysis and engage in constructive debates on topical issues. The project is in partnership with the Centre for the Book (CFB) a branch of the National Library in the DAC. Offender participation in this programme starts at the Correctional Centre Level, Management Area Level, proceeds to Regional Level and lastly to the National Championships where talents are showcased at a National platform.
  • 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day. The project profiled offender programmes of rehabilitation for re-integration in front of millions of South Africans:
  • The project is a partnership between the Department of Correctional Services and 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day and has yielded DCS great results since its inception in 2015, it is important to mention that it has placed DCS in the Guinness World Records in 2016 by creating the largest crocheted blanket measuring 17 181 m2.
  • The main aim of the project is to ensure that offenders are given the opportunity to reach out to communities outside of prison walls. By hand-making blankets that are donated to 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day, the offenders are afforded an opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of those living in poverty stricken circumstances.
  • This project is also focussing at skilling offenders, enabling them to realize their full creative potential through nurturing their creativity, expression and innovation. Provide a tool for offender development and to prepare them for their reintegration back to the community.
  • The Massive Mandela Masterpiece (MMM) started in 2017 and 45 Management Areas participated in the project. This project was in line with Madiba’s centenary which is celebrated in 2018, which bears Madiba’s face and could only be seen from the sky due to its size. 67 Blankets provided cameras and screens to enable proper viewing by the audience. The programme saw inmates knitting their way to ensure that DCS is once again put on the World Map. The final product measured ±8000m² and was revealed at Zonderwater Correctional Centre, sports field on 24/04/2018 for the World to view.

Ongoing Crime Prevention Programme: Stories behind bars

Individual and group talents were discovered through a coordinated drama performance by female offenders on a story-line “Stories behind bars”. The outcome of this programme based on the partnership is to expose talent and educate communities on crime prevention, through Grahamstown Arts Festival and Pretoria State Theatre.

Shivambu, Mr F to ask the Minister of Finance

What process did the SA Reserve Bank follow in order to move clients from VBS Mutual Bank to Nedbank; (2) was a tender to move the clients advertised; if not, what factors were considered for the selection of Nedbank; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether the SA Reserve Bank or the curator negotiated any discounts for withdrawal charges; if not, what are the clients currently paying for withdrawal charges compared to what they were paying at the VBS Mutual Bank?

Reply:

No powers vest in the Minister of Finance in relation to operational elements of curatorship, including the movement assets and liabilities of VBS. These powers are conferred onto the curator in terms of section 54 of the Banks Act (1990).

(1) On the 21 August 30, 2018 the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) wrote to the Chair of the Standing Committee on Finance (SCOF) advising him of the manner, basis and modalities of the transfer of depositors from the now defunct VBS to a facilitator bank (Nedbank) to allow for the access of retail deposits.

The purpose of this response is to provide the SCOF with more granular detail pertaining to the criteria applied in the selection process as well as relevant extracts from the curator’s report titled ‘Resolution Plan: Liquidity for Retail Depositors’ dated 31 May 2018.

Following the recommendation of the Registrar of Banks’, the Minister of Finance placed VBS under curatorship, in terms of section 69 of the Banks Act 94 of 1990 read with section 81 of the Mutual Banks Act 124 of 1993, on 11 March 2018. The curator’s subsequent assessment of VBS’s financial position revealed that the bank is not in a position to fully repay its depositors.

The SARB agreed, after consultation with the Minister of Finance, to fund the repayment of certain deposits due by VBS, namely those of its retail depositors up to R100 000 per retail depositor. This amount is in line with the amount that will be covered under the envisaged explicit deposit insurance scheme which National Treasury intends to introduce into the legislative process.

In agreeing to fund the repayment of these retail depositors, the purpose of the SARB and National Treasury was to alleviate hardship and prevent losses to the most vulnerable of VBS’s depositors, being the ordinary retail depositors. These depositors, in the main, comprise of individuals, stokvels and burial societies.

The above-mentioned repayment scheme that the SARB has embarked on in no manner affects the legal dispensation pertaining to the assets and liabilities of VBS; these remain materially unchanged and part of VBS. The SARB paid the amounts owing to the retail depositors on a purely ex gratia basis.

As the agreed arrangement was designed to assist only the retail depositors (up to the agreed level), it was critical that this process was done in such a way that neither VBS nor any of its creditors and / or shareholders acquired any legal right or claim to the amount made available – otherwise the other creditors and / or shareholders would have been entitled to share proportionately in the amount made available. That would have defeated the objective of protecting the most vulnerable customers of the bank.

It was for this reason that the SARB utilised the services of another bank, being Nedbank, to effect payment of the amounts due to the VBS retail depositors covered by the guarantee issued by government. This was achieved by the SARB depositing R257 million with Nedbank for the purpose of effecting payments to 17 380 retail depositors of VBS. In return, these retail depositors agreed to cede to the SARB all their rights and title to their claims against VBS, up to the amount they had received from Nedbank acting on behalf of the SARB.

The VBS retail depositors have one of the following options; the choice is completely at the discretion of each depositor:

  • Withdraw all the funds at any ATM or Nedbank branch.

 

  • Transfer all the funds to another bank account with any bank in the Republic of South Africa.
  • Retain the funds in the Nedbank accounts and use the associated debit card to make payments as and when necessary.

(2) (3) As mentioned at the SCOF meeting on 15 August 2018, at a high level, two major factors were considered when making the decision to use Nedbank to facilitate the repayment of VBS’s guaranteed retail depositors, namely:

    • the location of the branches of the institutions which were being considered; and
    • the costs, specifically the bank fees, which the VBS retail depositors would incur.

The curator recommended to the SARB that the guaranteed depositor funds be urgently made available to the depositors. Given the legal implications associated with VBS, it was not possible to allocate the guaranteed funds to any of the VBS branches. The curator therefore undertook an exercise to consider other institutions which could be utilised for the purpose of facilitating the payment of the guaranteed retail deposits.

Various objective factors were considered in the decision-making process. These included the following:

• proximity of the institution’s branches to VBS branches;

• the lowest service fees on recommended products;

• similar product offerings to the customers;

• whether the selected financial institution was a registered bank; and

• speed of execution.

The information considered when deciding on the bank that would be used to facilitate payment to the retail depositors has been extracted from the aforementioned curator’s report, and has been enclosed hereto as Annexure A.

It is also important to note that the VBS retail depositors covered under the guarantee issued by government are not, in any way, compelled to retain the Nedbank accounts which were used to facilitate the repayment of the guaranteed retail deposits. Nedbank is essentially only a medium through which VBS customers can access their monies with minimum disruption.

Careful consideration was also given to depositor behaviour, costs to the depositors, and the looming crisis of depositors sleeping outside VBS branches.

The decision to use Nedbank was not in any way contrary to any SARB policies for the procurement of services.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation

(1)What were the circumstances that led Magalies Water to award a R280 million tender to a certain company (name furnished) for the construction of a pipeline; (2) whether any investigation has been conducted into the tender award; if not, why not; if so, what was the outcome of the investigation; (3) whether any disciplinary action had been taken; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

(1) The circumstances are that Magalies Water advertised a call for tenders for the project following the open / public tender process. The process followed was per the Magalies Water Supply Chain Policy and also in line with the National Legislation governing public procurement. After completing the due process of evaluation and adjudication of bids that had been received and which had met the criteria as per the advertisement, Murray & Dickson (Pty) Ltd emerged as the preferred bidder and they were duly appointed.

(2) No investigation has been conducted into the tender award. Magalies Water Board has not received any formal complaint of any wrong doing in relation to the awarding of the tender in question. Therefore, no outcome can be furnished, as required.

At this stage, we would like to also state that one of the bidders who had lost to Murray and Dickson decided - more than once - to bypass Magalies Water Board and took the award on Court Review, alleging irregularities on the process. On two (2) occasions, the Courts declared the Magalies Water’s process to have been above board and dismissed the allegations.

(3) There had been no reasons for Magalies Water Board to institute any disciplinary action against any official on this matter. To emphasize these neither a formal complaint nor any prima facie evidence of any wrong doing by anyone of our staff members had been brought to Magalies Water Board directly by any of the bidders, including the one that approached the Courts.

What (i) is the total value of loans that the Industrial Development Corporation had to write off in the past five financial years and (ii) was the value of each loan and (b) who was the recipient of each loan?

Reply:

a) The IDC publishes details of its impairments and write-offs in its Annual Reports, details of which are contained on page 76 of the 2017/18 Annual Report. For ease of reference, the information is set out below:

       

2017/18

The IDC Board sets an impairment threshold of a maximum of 20% of the value (at cost) of the IDC’s investment portfolio. As of the last financial year, impairments equaled 17,4% of investments measured at cost, following the accounting standard used by the Corporation. However, if measured at market value, impairments equal 10,4% of the current market value of the investment portfolio.

Over the past 5 years, the highest level of impairment at cost was 18,2%, in 2014.

The function of an impairment threshold is to provide the management with the appropriate “risk appetite” that should be followed in approval of projects. :

  • If the IDC had a impairment threshold target that was set too low or at zero, it would need to only lend to, or invest in, projects that are guaranteed to succeed, or which are fully covered by security for its investment. The effect of this would be that the IDC would not be able to support many viable projects that carry a degree of risk.
  • If on the other hand the IDC had a risk threshold that was set too high, it is likely to invest in many more projects, however it is also likely to lose significant sums and eventually would deplete its capital base and become unsustainable.
  • The current impairment level thus seeks to strike a balance and in general is less conservative than the ratios and levels that a commercial bank would apply, as is necessary for a development finance institution.
  • The IDC will write off a loan or investment which has been impaired, in whole or part, where the prospects of recovery is remote, taking into consideration any security which may reduce the extent of the potential loss.

b) With respect to the loan amount and details of recipients, the IDC has advised that it does not disclose the details thereof as these were approved prior to 1 April 2017, when a client confidentiality policy was in place, regarding the companies with which it transacted. Following review, the IDC changed its policy on client confidentiality effective from 1 April 2017.

The IDC has disclosed in their 2017/18 Annual Report, that the single largest write-off is in respect of SCAW South Africa, a steel and engineering company that the IDC has a majority shareholding in during the period.

I draw attention to the following comment in the IDC’s 2017/18 Annual Report, that provides additional information:

“The IDC mini-group recorded a R2.8 billion profit (after capital profits), the same as the previous year. Net interest, dividend and fee income increased by 35% compared to the previous year. Increases in operating costs were contained at 1.5%. The cost-to income ratio (excluding cash resource income, impairments costs, and income from mature listed investments) improved to 39% from 46% in 2017.

Of concern is impairments and write-offs which more than doubled from the previous year. This increase was impacted by Scaw where the introduction of strategic equity partners resulted in a significant write-off (R1.6 billion) and a R1.8 billion impairment of Foskor facilities. Higher levels of impairments resulted in the ratio for impairments as a percentage of the portfolio at cost increasing to 17.4% from 16.7% in the previous year. The interventions currently underway at these two subsidiaries, which both recorded losses higher than expected, as well as the establishment of a dedicated department to monitor and manage subsidiaries and other material investments is expected to address this issue.”

Reply:

I have been furnished with a reply by the CEO of the IDC, Mr Geoffrey Qhena, to the question, which I quote as follows:

“The IDC approved a total funding amount of R185 million for Glodina Lifestyle (Pty) Ltd (“Lifestyle”) to acquire a division of KAP Homeware (Pty) Ltd (“KAP”). No amount has been approved to affiliates of KAP in so far as this transaction is concerned.

Following a partial draw down by Lifestyle, it was discovered that the shareholder did not conform with the KAP sale and purchase agreement and the IDC loan agreement and the planned sale was therefore cancelled. A forensic investigation was carried out by IDC Internal Audit which resulted in criminal charges being laid in May 2018 against the shareholder in Lifestyle for misrepresentation.

The matter has since been referred to the Johannesburg Commercial Crimes Unit. IDC has since concluded a sale and purchase agreement with KAP with the intention to resuscitate the Glodina business. The IDC’s intention is to start the recommissioning of the plant as soon as possible.”

In addition to the above reply by the IDC CEO, I am advised that the Department reviewed the claims and counter claims of the various parties to the transaction prior to the institution of formal court proceedings. In light of the court proceedings, the Department will monitor their outcome and take any steps that are warranted, based on additional information that comes to light.

With reference to the alleged corrupt collusion between the State Attorney’s office and claimants of supposed malpractice in the Health Department, (a) what were the circumstances that resulted in this form of fraud to be committed over a protracted period of time without detection, (b) who should have been exercising oversight and (c) what measures have been put in place to ensure this form of fraud does not happen in future?

Reply:

a) I have made a request to the President by means of issued a proclamation for the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to investigate the said allegations.

The State Attorney`s Office is extermelly under-capacitaed in respect of human resources. Many cases were settled on teh door-steps of the court. It may have been a matter of skills and knowledge fo the law in respect of medical negligence cases. The investigation of the SIU will cover the manner of operation of officials in teh various institutions, namely teh State Attorney`s Offices, teh officials at teh courts, the Department of Health,the Attorneys in Private Prctice and the Advocates. The investigationwill study the case files and all its information to check actual information, the bills of cost and payments done in State Attorney`s offices.

Therefore, the DoJ&CD will only be in a better position to respond to this question once the SIU has finalised the investigation regarding the alleged fraudulent activities.

b) Oversight of files in offices is managed by way of file audits, performance management and stakeholder meetings. Management of files by individual attorneys, who are members of the Law Society governed by the relevant ethical rules, exercises oversight.

c) The establishment of the specialised units in offices is aimed at ensuring that there is improved and effective management and co-ordination of state litigation services.

(1)Whether his department has taken any steps to reduce the increasingly high levels of air pollution in the country in order to limit the negative effect of (a) ambient and (b) indoor air pollution on the health of citizens; if not, in each case, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case; (2) whether his department has put any policies in place to mitigate the negative effect of the increasingly high levels of (a) ambient and (b) indoor air pollution on citizen’s health; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

(1) (a) Ambient air pollution

Ambient Air Pollution in the country is legislated by the National Management: Air Quality Act No. 39 of 2004 under the Department of Environmental Health Affairs. In ensuring the compliance with the requirements of the National Environmental Management Act, No. 62 of 2008 (NEMA), Part 2, Section (1) (a), all health facilities in the country are no longer utilizing own incinerators within health facilities for disposal of Health Care Risk Waste/medical waste. Currently waste is collected by a service provider who disposes in licensed incinerators. The Department remains with a responsibility to ensure that the cradle to grave principle on management of such waste generated by the Department is adhered to.

Some health facilities are utilizing solar energy to heat water for use in hospitals rather than using the boiler houses which utilize coals and pollute the atmosphere. Bertha Gxowa hospital in Gauteng province is an example that has implemented this and other hospitals are benchmarking.

(b) Indoor air pollution

A Domestic Indoor Air Quality Guideline has been developed to guide municipal health services (environmental health services in municipalities) in addressing indoor air quality. It has been reviewed and in the process of being approved. Activities conducted as per the Guideline are as follows:

  • Create awareness to people at risk on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) risks
  • Provide guidance in undertaking indoor air pollutants assessments in a domestic environment (surveillance of premises)
  • Support IAQ monitoring as part of Air Quality Management Plans/Programmes
  • Support air quality health research studies
  • Give the ability and/or capacity to respond to IAQ complaints
  • To incorporate the behavioural change strategies as a potential to reduce indoor air pollution exposure

(2) (a) and (b)

Yes.

The legislation available for responding to air pollution in the department are as follows:

  • The Constitution in Section 24, 27 and 28 which refers to the basic human rights.
  • National Health Act 61 of 2003 as amended, outlines the role of provincial health to ensure that there is provision of environmental pollution control services. provision of health services, including preventative health care service.
  • Scope of Profession for Environmental Health in terms of Health Professions Act 56 of 1974, lists environmental health functions conducted by Environmental Health Practitioners in relation to air quality monitoring includes environmental pollution control and health surveillance of premises.
  • National Environment Management: Air Quality Act, No. 39 of 2004 – Regulates air quality activities, promote clean air to ensure protection of the environment and human health.
  • The Draft National Air Pollution Strategy (DEA), 2017 map outlines the path that the country needs to take in reducing the impact of air pollution in dense law income communities which includes role of the Department of Health.

The above legislation continues to be implemented as part of the scope of practice for environmental health services rendered within district and metropolitan municipalities which outlines clear roles on protection of the communities regarding ambient air pollution.

A Domestic Indoor Air Quality guideline has been developed to guide municipal health services (Environmental Health Services in municipalities) in addressing indoor air quality which is aligned to the WHO guideline for indoor air quality.

Reply:

I have been advised by the Commissioner of the Competition Commission, Mr Tembinkosi Bonakele, of the following:

1. The Competition Commission undertakes investigations into collusion and cartel activities in the economy and in the course of carrying out its responsibilities, it is privy to commercially sensitive information which may result in significant competition penalties being imposed on affected parties and the possibility of criminal charges being brought against individuals. In addition, significant vested interests in the economy may be affected by the work of the Commission.

2. The Competition Commission and senior staff have been subject to a spate of criminal acts, the source and purpose of which is not yet apparent in spite of these having been reported to the law-enforcement agencies, which warranted in the opinion of the Commission, the provision of security to a limited number of senior officials in order to ensure the safety of persons and sensitive information.

3. The criminal acts comprised of the following:

  • on 25 May 2017 the Deputy Commissioner, while returning from a work assignment, was held at gunpoint and his work computer laptop, tablet and mobile phone, among other things, were taken.
  • On 8 August 2017 there was a security breach at the Commission premises and two laptops containing sensitive evidence were stolen from the Cartels Division. This followed incidents where laptops and mobile phones belonging to, amongst others, the Commissioner were stolen under what the Commissioner described as ‘mysterious circumstances’.
  • On 9 September 2017, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) was robbed at gun-point.

4. The Commission took measures which included the provision of private security to four senior staff members; terminating the services of the security service provider at the Commission premises; and commissioning a security assessment by a private service provider. The report pointed to some security gaps in the security of the Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioner and the Divisional Manager for Cartels. Further work is also being done on IT security systems and further upgrades will be done subject to budget availability.

5. In addition to the above, and following the request by the Commission, SAPS covers the security of former Chief Justice Ngcobo who is currently heading a panel appointed by the Commission to conduct a Market Inquiry into private healthcare, with the Commission providing vehicles for the SAPS members assigned to the former Chief Justice.

6. The total costs for the various Protection Services amount to R14,9 million, as follows:

  • June 2017 – 31 March 2018 = R 14 607 748.
  • 1 April 2018 – August 2018 = R 373 304.

7. The State Security Agency was approached to further investigate these incidents and it undertook to conduct a comprehensive assessment on the security requirements of the Commission and its report is imminent. The detailed security assessments will inform any further decisions on this matter, including whether to continue with security measures and the appropriate level of such services.
