Students also demanded that students that had been academically excluded should be allowed to register. Students demanded that those who had been financially excluded should be allowed to register without paying any amount towards their debt. The university required them to pay 15% towards their debt before registering.

Salary negotiations deadlocked and an agreement was reached on
26 June 2018.

The Department sent officials to WSU to be part of the meetings that were held between the SRC and Institutional Executive Committee over three days. At the end of the third day, the parties reached an agreement on certain issues, and the campuses were reopened on

9. University of the Free State (Qwaqwa campus)

7 May 2018: Damage to the entrance gate and the cafeteria vandalised.

51 Students were not cleared for registration. The university allowed students who do not qualify for NSFAS funding or who indicated that they do not have sufficient funds to register, while committing to pay their first required payments by 31 March 2018. In addition, the University has set up an appeals committee to consider students who are unable to honour their first payment but are academically deserving (using the same criteria as NSFAS, i.e. passed at least 50% of course. In all cases, they were allowed to continue their studies despite not having funds. In many cases, the university also provided funding or managed to secure funding from external donors (approximately R150 million) and assisted final year students. 51 Students at the Qwaqwa Campus could not be accommodated through this process.

None. This was not reported to the Department at the time.

On 17 July 2018, the strike was joined by the students preventing other students from entering the examination hall.

Deadlock on wage negotiations in which the workers’ demands include:

  • Insourcing of outsourced services;
  • Ineffective university council;
  • Lack of transparency and communication on matters affecting university stakeholders such as unions;
  • Serous flouting of HR policies; and
  • Allegations of the selling of Master and PhD degrees.

The Department received a memorandum from the unions requesting intervention to resolve the protracted strike. The memorandum is being responded to.

12. University of South Africa

Pretoria Campus
14 - 16 February 2018:

Registration disrupted.

Pietermaritzburg Campus 17 - 24 January 2018: Registration disrupted.

None.

13. Tshwane University of Technology

8 February 2018:

Soshanguve Campus
closed.

Four residences were still under renovation, and as a result, a number of first-year students could not be allocated accommodation. Students demanded that the affected students should be provided with alternative accommodation.

None

It should be noted that the Department monitors the stability of the sector during the registration period by requesting regular reports from institutions. However, in the majority of cases, the oversight role of the Department does not extend to intervention, unless there is a specific request from an institution, or unless the Department decides that a fact-finding visit is necessary. The Department is usually informed of the disruption and monitors the situation, engaging with the Vice Chancellor where necessary. In cases where disruptions were linked to NSFAS issues, the Department engaged with NSFAS, students and institutions to assist in resolving the challenge. Major challenges experienced relate to the system integration between NSFAS and institutions, which has had a significant impact on the exchange of registration data. The focus has been to ensure that students who qualify receive allowances and that the agreements are generated and signed.

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

(1)With reference to reports on 7 May 2018 (details furnished), how does the dilapidation of the SA Army Special Infantry Capability (SAASIC) unit impact on the defence abilities of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF), taking into account that the objectives of the SAASIC are to contribute to land border patrol and safeguarding our borders; (2) whether she has found that the SANDF breached the memorandum of understanding that was signed with the National Council of the Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 2013 and 2016; if not, what are the reasons that animals were allegedly subjected to severe neglect by the commander of the SAASIC base; if so, (3) whether an investigation has been commissioned into the allegations of maltreatment and negligence of the care of the horses; if not, why not; (4) whether any disciplinary steps have been taken against (a) the base commander and/or (b) any other SANDF member; if not, in each case, why not; if so, what disciplinary steps have been taken against the unit commander and other implicated staff members?

Reply:

1. The alleged dilapidation of the SAASIC Unit does not have any adverse impact on the Landward Defence of the Republic of South Africa as a total of 208 horses are currently maintained by SAASIC and only 40 horses are employed in Operation CORONA (Border Safeguarding) in the Musina vicinity (Limpopo Province). A portion of the rest of the horses at SAASIC is used for training purposes and a further platoon of horses (circa 40 horses) has been identified to relieve the horses currently on the border.

2. There is currently no proof that the Memorandum of Understanding between the SANDF and the NSPCA has been breached, by either party. The reason(s) for the alleged neglect is the subject of an investigation, recently concluded.

3. Positive. A Board of Inquiry was constituted and has concluded its investigation.

4. The Board of Inquiry was recently concluded and its findings and recommendations are under review. Disciplinary steps – if any – against (any) individual(s) will be taken if so warranted after the review.

The response is based on information received from Alexkor SOC Limited.

Salaries of employees and head office operational costs

3. Mining Operations

The DoS directed that once the township had been established, the municipal engineering services are to be upgraded and Alexkor is to hand over the municipal services to the Alexander Bay Municipality; however, that has not yet occurred.

(1) With reference to the hearings hosted by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) for the coal independent power producer (IPP) generation licence applications, where Eskom indicated that it did not support the coal IPPs and warned of the harm that the coal IPPs would cause for Eskom (details furnished), (a) does Eskom intend to sign the power purchase agreements with the coal IPPs; if not, at what stage will the specified requirements be assessed; if so, (2) has Eskom ensured that the Regulation 9 requirements of the New Generation Regulations, 2011, have been met, including that the power purchase agreements would be value for money; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

According to the information received from Eskom

(1)

Eskom understands that all future IPP programmes are on hold until such time as the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) has been concluded.

(1)(a)

Eskom is obliged to implement Government Policy. Should Government instruct Eskom to continue with this programme Eskom will engage on the impact on Eskom and its requirements for the programme.

(2)

Eskom has not agreed to sign the IPP contracts and therefore the Regulation 9 requirements were not assessed by Eskom.

Should Government instruct Eskom to continue with this IPP programme, Eskom will then assess the Power Purchase Agreements against the Regulation 9 requirements of the New Generation Regulations 2011. A matter which requires further clarity and certainty is what constitutes a correct technical risk transfer to the new coal IPP in terms of Regulation 9 of the New Generation Regulations, 2011. 

The full regulation document is attached.

  1. Submission by the individual of his or her Curriculum Vitae;
  2. Nomination by another person; or
  3. Application or nomination to the annual advertisement to update the database.

From the records it would appear that there are no specific nominations by another person of Mrs Matseke (Chairperson) and Messrs Haasbroek, Matona and Bansi, respectively. These names came through the Ministry during the Board review process. They were appointed as Non-executive Directors (NEDs) of the Board of Alexkor by former Minister of Public Enterprises, Ms Lynne Brown, at a Special General Meeting held on 14 August 2015. The appointments (with the exception of Ms McMaster who was never appointed as a Director to the Alexkor Board), were done in accordance with clause 13.2 of the Alexkor Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) which provides that the Shareholder (the Minister of Public Enterprises) shall appoint the Directors of the Company, as well as in accordance with terms 13.11 of the Alexkor MOI which provides for the rotation of Directors and the filling of vacancies on the Alexkor Board.

Ms Matseke was appointed as Chairperson and NED of the Board, while Messrs Haasbroek, Matona and Bansi, respectively were appointed as NEDs at the SGM with effect from 14 August 2015, for a period of three years, subject to annual review by the Minister.

(iii) Ms McMaster was not appointed as a Director to the Alexkor Board.

(b) Following the resignation of former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Percival (Percy) Khoza, during the Company’s restructuring process in February 2016, Mr Bansi was recommended by the Board and supported by the then Minister to Act as CEO and ex-officio Director of the Board of Alexkor on 1 March 2016, until such time that a permanent CEO was appointed by the Company. Mr Bansi subsequently submitted his resignation as Acting CEO, ex officio, to the Board effective 6 November 2017, before the new CEO took up office. At the time, Mr Bansi had indicated that he is not available for re-election as NED of the Board going forward.

(a), (b), (d) and (e) Mrs Matseke, together with Messrs Haasbroek, Matona and Bansi were four of six new Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) appointed to the Board of Alexkor at a Special General Meeting (SGM) held on 14 August 2015, by former Minister of Public Enterprises, Ms Lynne Brown. The appointments were done in accordance with clause 13.2 of the Alexkor Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) which provides that the Shareholder (the Minister of Public Enterprises) shall appoint the Directors of the Company from time to time and in so doing shall endeavour to ensure that the Board shall be appropriately balanced in terms of executive and non-executive Directors, with the majority being non-executive, and shall be representative of gender and race demographics, on the grounds of their collective knowledge, experience and appropriate skills.

Furthermore, the appointments were made in terms of clause 13.11 of the Alexkor MOI which provides for the rotation of Directors and the filling of vacancies on the Alexkor Board. The former Alexkor Board was rotated at the Annual General Meeting held on 14 August 2015, with the exception of Ms Z Ntlangula and Dr R Paul who were re-appointed to the Board at the SGM of 14 August 2015.

Ms Matseke was appointed as Chairperson and NED of the Board, while Messrs Haasbroek, Matona and Bansi were appointed as NEDs with effect from 14 August 2015, for a period of three years, subject to annual review by the Minister of Public Enterprises.

Whether complaints about certain persons namely Mr Bagus and Ms Kellerman, and also about the appointment of a certain company namely Scarlet Sky Investments were lodged with the Public Protector by a certain person namely Mr Duncan Korabie, and later withdrawn; if so, (2) whether one of the specified persons namely Ms Kellerman was thereafter appointed to do an internal investigation into the affairs of Alexkor; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what was the outcome? NW1298E

Reply:

REPONSE BASED ON INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM ALEXKOR SOC LIMITED:

(1)

Alexkor were informed by Mr Korabie about the complaint he lodged to the Office of the Public Protector during 2015.

The complaint was withdrawn by Mr Korabie subsequent to a meeting between DPE and the Alexkor-CPA during November 2015, to allow the Department to investigate the matter internally. The investigation was done by the ARC Committee of the PSJV and the outcomes have been communicated with the Department.

 

(2)

Alexkor is not aware that Ms Kellerman was appointed to investigate the internal matters of Alexkor SOC. However, Ms Kellerman, as Chief Legal Officer at the time was instructed by the then Board of Directors to institute the forensic investigation into allegations made against the then CEO, Mr Percy Khoza. SizweNtsalubaGobodo (SNG) was appointed as an independent entity to conduct the said forensic investigation.

The technical nature of the irregularities were such that it was not obvious to the current Board whether it was appropriate, or not, to initiate any disciplinary action against the CEO. The Board subsequently commissioned Mkhabele Huntley Adekeye Inc. (MHA) to evaluate the SNG report in terms of the possible disciplinary actions available to Alexkor.

The finding of Mkhabele Huntley Adekeye Inc was that the CEO took “a cavalier approach to financial management of the entity, which exposes the entity to risk”. The report continues that: “based on the evidence before us, we are of the view that the Accounting Authority has reasonable prospects of securing a dismissal at arbitration”. The Board considered the Mkhabele Huntley Adekeye Inc reports and decided that a “reasonable” prospect of a successful dismissal was insufficient to warrant further action. Furthermore, the Company had embarked on a restructuring process during which the CEO put himself forward for voluntary retrenchment, which offer the Board accepted, as a simpler and more cost-effective option to disciplinary action.

(a) What are the details of his plan to deal with the problems regarding the coal independent power producers (IPPs) for Eskom, in particular the fact that Eskom (i) will have to close certain of its own coal plants early to meet the offtake requirements of the coal IPPs, and even earlier in a low greenhouse gas emission scenario and (ii) will be faced with having to sell electricity at very high prices in circumstances where more and more electricity consumers are defecting from the grid and (b) what steps does he intend to take to mitigate the impact on Eskom?

Reply:

According to the information received from Eskom

BACKGROUND

Eskom has not approved the signing of the coal independent power producers (IPPs) agreements. No approval nor instruction has been given by the Department of Public Enterprises to Eskom to sign such agreements.

Eskom understands that all future IPP programmes are on hold until such time as the Integrate Resource Plan (IRP) has been concluded. Eskom provided these IPPs with budget quotations for connection to the grid as is required by the Eskom transmission license, but has made no other allowances for these IPPs in the Eskom production plans and price applications.

(a)(i)(ii)

The impact of new capacity as well as the low greenhouse gas emissions scenario on the electricity system and the Eskom generators must be considered in the development of the IRP. The IRP also considers price impacts.

Eskom will provide comments on the IRP when it is given the opportunity to do so, and any impact on Eskom’s generators, costs and prices to consumers will be addressed in these comments.

(b)

Government together with Eskom and other key stakeholders are in the process of evaluating the socio-economic costs of decommissioning of mines that have reached their end of life. A transitional plan will be developed that will support the integrated Resources Plan (IRP).

Mr Melvin Duckitt

HR Manager (at the time)

   

(e)

According to Alexkor, Mr Carstens’ qualifications:

 

(i)

National Diploma : Human Resources (Vaal University of Technology)

 

(ii)

Industrial Relations Development Programme (University of Stellenbosch).

 

(iii)

The Member is reminded that the decision to appoint would jointly have been taken between Alexkor and the Richtersveld Mining Company (RMC) representatives on the Alexkor PSJV Board.

The Board members who appointed Mr Carstens no longer serves on the Alexkor PSJV Board. The names for the selection panel are detailed in (d)(i) to (vi) above.

Therefore, the current Alexkor PSJV Board is limited in terms of its understanding of the process that led to the appointment of Mr Carstens, which at face value seems to be a deviation from the qualification requirements of the position as advertised. However, the current Alexkor PSJV Board can confirm that Mr Carstens has acquitted himself in line with their expectations in running the PSJV operations. The 30 years’ experience that Mr Carstens has garnered in the industry seems to have stood him well.

Minister: The Department is currently reviewing both the governance and operating model of Alexkor.

The Admission and Release System was not configured to reflect the requested information. The information is therefore unfortunately not readily available.

Profile picture: Breytenbach, Adv G

Breytenbach, Adv G to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

(1)Whether his department’s victim-offender dialogue programme is a prerequisite for parole applications to be considered; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, how much weight is given to the victim-offender dialogues when parole applications are considered; (2) what number of (a) further profile dates decisions did he take recommending that a victim-offender dialogue be completed (i) in each of the past six calendar years and (ii) since 1 January 2018, (b) parole applications for persons serving (i) life sentences and (ii) other sentences were granted without a victim-offender dialogue in each year and (c)(i) his department’s officials and (ii) other organisation were available in each management area in each of the specified years to facilitate victim-offender dialogues?

Reply:

1.Victim-offender-dialogue programme is not a prerequisite for consideration of offenders on parole. However it is a crucial element in the rehabilitation process to ensure effective social reintegration with more involvement by victims, families and communities.

(2) (a)(i)(ii) (b)(i)(ii)

The current Admission and Release System (A&R) is outdated and the Department of Correctional Services is developing and piloting an Integrated Inmate Management System (IIMS) that will replace the A & R System. This will, amongst others, enable the DCS to manage the admission and release of offenders in an integrated manner. The A & R System was not configured to reflect the requested information and it is therefore unfortunately not readily available.

(2) (c)(i)(ii)

The department has always used its professionals Social Workers, Psychologist Chaplains and even the external partners to facilitate the Victim-Offender Dialogue (VOD) anytime it is required. VOD forums have been established in management areas to facilitate these VODs. Lastly Social Auxiliary Workers have been contracted from 2015 to assist in the implementation of Restorative Justice (VOM/VOD).

What number of (a) parole applications for inmates serving (i) life sentences and (ii) other sentences became due for consideration in each year since 1 January 2004, (b) the specified applications for parole that became due were considered by parole boards in each case in each specified year, (c) the specified parole applications considered by the parole boards were sent to the Minister of Justice in each specified year and (d) the specified parole applications sent to the Minister of Justice were granted in each year?

Reply:

(a)(i): The statistics of 01 January 2004 are not readily available because there was no system in place to record information. Manual count will have to take place and this will take time. For the purpose of this question (a)(i) our statistics will commence from 2011. A hand system was implemented to manage the offenders sentenced to Life imprisonment as the Admission and Release System (A&R System) of the Department was not configured to provide necessary information to manage caseloads.

NW2225E

Reply:

(1) Parole Boards have been appointed on a permanent basis at all management areas and schedule sitting continuously in order to deal with cases received from Case Management Committees. Currently there are 52 Parole Boards in the country and each Parole Board determines the frequency and number of sittings according to their operational requirements. Unfortunately, the detail as requested is not centrally available.

(2) (a)(b) (i) and (ii)(iii)

The Admission and Release System (A&R System) was not configured to provide the requested information and it is therefore unfortunately not readily available. However, the Department of Correctional Services is developing and piloting an Integrated Inmate Management System (IIMS) that will replace the A&R System. This will, among others, enable the DCS to manage the admission and release of offenders in an integrated manner.

It is important to note that a quality control mechanism has been implemented by Heads of Centres to ensure that profile reports submitted to Parole Boards comply with the required standards and that files which do not comply are corrected before reaching the Parole Boards. This includes a progress report on the Correctional

Sentence Plan as well as ensuring that reports from professionals are not older than 2 years.

The case involves a male supervisor who gave a lift to one of the junior female staff members after they had completed their shift. The supervisor was alleged to have made inappropriate comments to the lady colleague and also wanted to touch her inappropriately. The matter was reported and the supervisor was subsequently charged and dismissed. He then referred his matter to the CCMA for adjudication. The CCMA ruled in his favour and the NHLS applied to the Labour Court to have the matter reviewed and set aside.

After the matter was reported there was an investigation conducted which led to the conclusion that there was a case to be answered hence the supervisor was charged and dismissed from the NHLS.

 

(ii) 2017

The case involves a senior manager who is alleged to have shown two junior staff members an inappropriate explicit picture of a pornographic nature. The manager concerned was charged and subjected to a disciplinary enquiry and the matter is still ongoing.

The Matter was investigated and also referred to a disciplinary enquiry as a result of the recommendation from the investigation. This was after prima facie evidence was unearthed.

What is the total number of private firearm owners that were registered in the Central Firearm Register in each specified year (details furnished)?

Reply:

The requested data is not available, for the period 1994 to 2002.

Prior to 1994, South Africa was divided into different states, namely South Africa, Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei. All these territories had their own separate firearm registration systems. In South Africa, the firearm licencing process was the responsibility of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), up until 1994.

After the assumption of the firearm licencing process, by the South African Police Service (SAPS), in 1994, a new system called the Firearm Register System was introduced. However, the information received from the DHA, was in a form of a spreadsheet, called a "data dump" and there was no application linked to a specific firearm. Therefore, the current Enhanced Firearm Register System (EFRS), does not contain records for the period, 1994 to 2002.

The number of private firearm owners, registered in the Central Firearm Register CFR), in the specified years, is as follows:

Whether the Free State department of health has embarked on a tender process to outsource ambulance services to private ambulance service providers; if so, (a)(i) why has the provincial department done so and (ii) has he found that the tender is not in contravention of national policy and (b) what are the further relevant details in this regard?

Reply:

The Free State Department of Health embarked on a tender process to procure services for Inter Facility ambulance services in order to augment the current Provincial EMS inter facility services within the Province.

The Province took the decision because of shortage of Intermediate and Advance life support staff within the Province that could be deployed on obstetric and critical ambulance inter-facility services.

Since the whole private ambulance matter in the Free State and North West is under investigation by National Treasury, we will have to wait for the findings of the investigation, to arrive at a well informed conclusion.

Reply:

1. (a) (i) The functionality of the 3480 public health facilities are assessed using the Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance Tool developed by the department of health as part of the Operation Phakisa Ideal Clinic Laboratory. In preparation for the introduction of National Health Insurance (NHI), the Ideal Clinic programme is setting in place a systematic approach to transform all PHC facilities to meet national standards when inspected by the Office of Health Standards Compliance (OHSC). The National Health Amendment Act (12 of 2013) mandates the OHSC to protect and promote the health and safety of health service users through monitoring and enforcing compliance with prescribed norms and standards[1]. The Ideal Clinic programme is the NDoH’s internal mechanism for ensuring PHC facilities’ compliance with these norms and standards in order to satisfy the needs of South African communities.

A dashboard, using the standard traffic-light colours, was developed. The figure below depicts the arrangement of 32 sub-components under 10 components. The 32 sub-components are further subdivided into 206 elements. The number of elements change on an annual basis as the national team receive feedback from clinical staff and managers on clinic and district level about how to improve the framework. Elements are assigned a green colour when they are fully functional, an orange colour if they are partially functional and corrective actions are under way, and a red colour if the element is absent or non-functional.

 

The elements are assigned a vital, essential or important weight in line with the definitions below.

The table below indicates the scores required per element weight.

The Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance (ICRM) Programme follows the PLAN, DO STUDY, Act (PDSA) cycle. The first large scale planning took place in October and November 2014. This in-depth planning in a laboratory setting called “Operation Phakisa Ideal Clinic Lab” resulted in a comprehensive implementation plan. The cycle starts with status determinations by PHC facility managers(April to June) and a re-planning session in May. This is followed by the correction of weaknesses (turning red and orange elements green during July to October). In November district peer reviews are done.

Peer review results are immediately captured on the web based ICRM monitoring software tool for the purpose of result analyses (Study). District scale-up teams then assist clinic managers and staff to turn the remaining orange and red elements to green (December to February). In March peer review updates are done to determine achievement for the financial year. The NDoH receives continuous feedback from managers and staff at provincial, district and facility level about changes required to guidelines, standard operating procedures and systems processes that currently cause bottlenecks. The results are used to plan the implementation for the next year. Planning for the following year includes amendments to the framework resulting in a subsequent version.

(ii) Professionals who do the status determinations through peer reviews are from South Africa's 52 health districts. Every year, since the implementation of the programme, 196 professionals are orientated to do the peer reviews.

(b) In the beginning of each financial year since 2015/2016 to date all fixed primary health care facilities in the country are subjected to status determination (assessment) exercise;

Steyn, Ms A to ask the Minister of Health

(1)In the aftermath of his department’s response to the listeriosis outbreak, (a) what kind of regulatory measures is his department considering in order to ensure food health and safety, (b) what sort of consultations has his department had with the various industries in relation to the listeriosis outbreak and (c)(i) who was consulted and (ii) what information was obtained during these consultations; (2) (a) when will proposed guidelines on levels of Listeria monocytogenes be published to serve as minimum standard for the industry and (b) will the standards apply only to the meat processing industry or will they be applicable across all food categories and their related value chains; (3) whether any interim guidelines or an interim protocol for the food sector on Listeria levels will be published so that industry is clear on what basis they can operate; if not, will the industry continue to operate on 100 cfus per gram in a 25 g sample, as is currently the practice; (4) what are the acceptable levels of Listeria monocytogenes that he has considered; (5) (a) what is his policy position on the establishment of an independent food health and safety agency to align all areas of food handling and manufacturing regulation and (b) what action will he take to support the existence of such an agency?

1. (a) The confirmed source of the Listeriosis outbreak, immediately triggered Regulation 4(b) in the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point System (HACC) Regulations (R908 of 2003) which requires the mandatory application of the Hazard analysis and Critical Control Point system, audited by the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) accredited certifying bodies.

The review of the National Health Act, 2003 as well as the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act, 1972 is underway to allow for the incorporation of reporting requirements for food testing.

(b) The South African Meat Processors Association (SAMPA) was consulted through official correspondence as well as a formal meeting.

(c) (i) SAMPA;

(ii) The industry association indicated that as they represent more than 60% of the Ready To Eat (RTE) processing industry, they have no objection that the sector be required to implement the mandatory Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point system. Levels for Listeria Monocytogenes for the products that they manufactured were clarified in relation to the levels adopted by teh Codex Alimentaius, the joint World Health Organisation and Food and Agricultural Organisation, food standards setting body for protecting consumers and facilitating trade.

2. (a) The guideline levels will be published following extensive consultation with the industry as well as other important stakeholders such as academics, epidemiologists and consumers.

(b) The regulated levels will cover all food categories that are considered as ready to eat.

3. Owing to the risk that these ready to eat meat products pose, a zero tolerance is observed until the outbreak has been contained.

According to the internationally accepted Codex Alimentarius, the current industry practice of 10 cfm/gram in a 25g sample is only applicable for foodstuffs that do not promote the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. Ready to eat processed products implicated in the outbreak promote the growth of Listeria monocytogenes and the internationally agreed level is absent when tested according to the sampling plan.

4. The international guidance has been considered. Consultation referred to in (2)(a) above will need to explore whether a zero tolerance needs to be considered owing to the new scientific research regarding the emerging nature and virulence of Listeria monocytogenes and the current health status of the South African population.

5. (a) The relevant authorities (Department of Health; Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; Department of Trade and Industry with its two entities (National Consumer Commission and National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications) have been tasked to review the existing food control system, including legislation and recommend the best way to regulate food safety in the country.

(b) Once the review has been finalised by all parties involved, it will then be taken to the relevant stakeholders for the requisite consultation and comment.
