Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Police
Whether, with reference to his reply to question 1778 on 18 June 2018, and in view of the fact that the Bedfordview Police Station has four sectors, he has found that the optimal number of visible police officers should actually be 64, in correlation with four members per shift per sector for four shifts; if not, how can the specified police station be expected to fulfil its requirement of two sector vehicles patrolling each sector at all times; (2) given the inevitability of police officers taking leave, including but not limited to family responsibility leave, sick leave, study leave and annual leave, what number of additional visible police officers should the police station have in order to ensure that two vehicles per sector are patrolling at all times?
Reply:
1. The Bedfordview Police Station is currently unable to fulfil the requirement of two vehicles per sector, due to a shortage of resources.
2. The Bedfordview Police Station has three sectors, with two members per sector, per shift and one vehicle, per shift, implying a total of 24 members. In order to fulfil the requirement of two vehicles per sector, an additional 32 members are required.

incorrectly reported as the police station was only opened in 2014. |
|
NB. Due to typing error, it was reported in the response to question 1406, that 78 dockets were lost at Tembisa South. Therefore, there was no loss of dockets in 2013, since the station did not exist in 2013. It should further be noted that there was no loss of dockets or stolen dockets reported at Tembisa South since 2014 up to date. |

2. Newcastle, CAS 607/12/2016, was opened for the case dockets, which were stolen from a vehicle. The dockets were in a laptop bag, inside the vehicle. A suspect was found guilty and sentenced to three years imprisonment. Hlabisa, CAS 83/05/2018, was opened for the dockets that went missing from court. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), declined to prosecute.
The rest was incorrectly reported in the first reply to the question. The investigating officer’s office was broken in to and his laptop and the mentioned attempted murder docket were stolen during the housebreaking. The accused in the attempted murder case was found guilty and was convicted after the docket was reconstructed by the investigating officer.
3. The two South African Police Service (SAPS) officials were charged in two different incidents, namely the 13 dockets that were lost at Botshabelo, in 2017, as well as the five dockets that were lost by the FCS Park Road, in 2015. In the Botshabelo case, the accused was found not guilty. The accused in the FCS Park Road case, pleaded guilty. The accused resigned from the SAPS, on 14 September 2015.
One member made a statement during the departmental trial, in Madadeni. A case was opened by the Public Protector, but the NPA declined to prosecute. The member in Madadeni was found guilty in the departmental case and fined R500,00. The other member is no longer employed by the SAPS.
The rest was incorrectly reported in the first reply to the question. The member was not charged, because the docket got lost at the Pretoria North Magistrates Court.
4. The Minister will determine if he should make a statement on this matter.

Marais, Mr S to ask the Minister of Police
(1) With reference to two cases, CAS 259/10/2015 and 261/10/2015, registered at the Worcester Police Station, (a) what are the reasons that the two cases are delayed and not sent to the State prosecutor at the Worcester Magistrate Court, (b) why was the Western Cape Police Ombudsman not able to conclude on the cases subsequent to them being referred to him and (c) what is the usual time frame for such cases to be concluded and referred to the prosecuting authorities;(2) whether he has found that the delay is intentional; if not, why has there been a time delay of three years; if so, (a) what steps will his department take to speed up the investigations and (b) what consequences will the officials who are not dealing with the cases promptly suffer? (2) whether he has found that the delay is intentional; if not, why has there been a time delay of three years; if so, (a) what steps will his department take to speed up the investigations and (b) what consequences will the officials who are not dealing with the cases promptly suffer?
Reply:
(1)(a) The two case dockets, Worcester, CAS 259/10/2015 and 261/10/2015, were submitted to the Senior Public Prosecutor (SPP), on several occasions and returned with guidance on further investigations to be conducted. The last date that the case dockets were returned, was on 5 September 2018 and the Investigating Officer is busy dealing with the instructions, which were issued by the SPP.
(1)(b) The Ombudsman on Policing, in the Western Cape, reports to the Provincial Government and not to the South African Police Service (SAPS). The SAPS can, therefore, not respond to this part of the question.
(1 )(c) The complexity of these cases differ from one to the other and therefore, a standard acceptable time frame cannot be determined.
(2) It has been found that the delay was not intentional. The case was no//e prosequi (refused to prosecute) and was only re-opened by the SAPS, after the complainant approached the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA),to seek clarity.
(2)(a) Not applicable.

To what extent has he found that the time spent by the Mayor of the City of Cape Town in court affected municipal service delivery, particularly to areas in dire need of services (details furnished
Reply:
We are always guided by the Constitution and the Legislative framework in dealing with matters of investigations and allowing judiciary processes to run their course. It is necessary during this period that the municipal service delivery responsibilities are not impacted upon and the administration continues to effectively deliver on their responsibilities. The implementation of service delivery programmes rests with the administration led by the Municipal Manager, which has the responsibility and obligation to continue their work regardless of the impasse experienced at political leadership level.

( 1) The Sebenza Police Station is currently unable to fulfil the requirement of two vehicles, per sector, due to a shortage of resources.

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
(a) Which municipalities are affected by the intention of the Eastern Cape Provincial Government to establish interventions on instruction of his department, (b) on what legal provision will each intended intervention rely on, (c) what will be the timeline and (d) what are the expected outcomes of each intervention; (2) whether all interventions under section 139 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, have been exhausted; if not, why has the national and/or provincial executive not acted in terms of the specified constitutional obligation? NW2429E
Reply:
1.(a) I am not aware of any municipalities affected by the Eastern Cape Provincial Government’s intention to establish interventions in that province, and neither I nor my Department have instructed the provincial government to invoke interventions in the province. I can only become aware of such municipalities, if any, once the provincial government has initiated the interventions and then submitted to me the requisite notices, because interventions are a prerogative of the provincial government. However, I have recently referred to the province a demand from the Legal Resources Centre for an intervention at Makana Local Municipality and a request from Hon. Terri Stander, MP, for an intervention at Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality, for the provincial government’s consideration. I was subsequently notified by the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs that the Provincial Government has intervened at Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality in terms of sections 139(1)(b) and 139(5) of the Constitution.
For reasons already stated above, I am also not aware as to: (b) on what legal provision will each intended intervention rely on, (c) what will be the timeline and (d) what are the expected outcomes of each intervention.
2. Regarding the second question, I am unable to discern what response or details Hon. Mileham wanted to elicit from me because his question is not easy for me to understand. Assuming that he wants to know whether all interventions in terms of section 139 of the Constitution have ever been implemented in the Eastern Cape, then the answer is “No”, not all interventions in terms of this section have ever been implemented in the Eastern Cape. According to records at my Department’s disposal, the provincial government has in the majority of cases invoked interventions in terms of section 139(1)(b) of the Constitution at its municipalities. I have observed that, sometimes, these interventions have been invoked simultaneously with section 139(5) of the Constitution, as is the case at Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality. However, the provincial government has never invoked an intervention in terms of section 139(4) of the Constitution.
I am also unable to provide a direct answer to the second part of this question, as to why the national and/or provincial executive have not acted in terms of the specified constitutional obligation. This is due to the fact that the constitutional obligation Hon. Mileham is referring to has not been specified in the question.

1. The department of social development funds non-profit organisations in line with the policy on financial management act (PFMA). Annually the department through advertisements, calls for non-profit organisations to submit applications in form of a business proposal for funding. MOOFA submitted an application for funding for the 2016/17 financial year. As an emerging organisation, the department funded them to the amount of R800 000 for the 2016/17 financial year in line with their business proposal.
2. In accordance with the Policy on financial award, the department requests for periodical progress reports, financial statements, supporting documentations and proof of evidence. Site visits are also conducted periodically to assess progress and achievements in line with the business proposal. The monitoring and evaluation was conducted as done with all funded organisations. Subsequently MOOFA applied for the 2017/18 financial year. However due to non-compliance (Outstanding documents were not furnished VIZ: expenditure and financial statements). They were not considered for funding for the 2017/18 financial year. MOOFA was advised that due to non-compliance, the application for the 2017/18 financial year was unsuccessful. The department was awaiting outstanding documents to reconcile their reports from MOOFA.

Reply:
1. SALGA has not informed me of any allegations of the abuse of power and sexual harassment, levelled against its Chief Financial Officer.
(a) I was not informed of any allegations of the abuse of power and sexual harassment. Therefore, I have not instituted any investigations into these allegations.
(b) Not applicable.
2. According to the reply received from SALGA, the organization is also not aware of such allegations. The organization has no record of any complaint levelled against the Chief Financial Officer in terms of the organization’s Grievance Policy and Process. Nor has there ever been a complaint lodged via the anonymous channel that the organization has put in place terms of its Employee Health and Wellness Policy, that is managed through an external Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider namely, CAREWAYS.
The organization has a set of policies approved by the SALGA’s National Executive Committee that includes the following, amongst others:
• Code of ethics and business conduct – the policy objective is to ensure that everyone involved with SALGA, conducts business with the highest standards of ethics, integrity, desired business conduct and professional behavior and ensures that the integrity of both SALGA and its employees is not compromised.
• Harassment policy – the policy outlines SALGA’s stance on harassment, particularly sexual harassment, which constitutes discrimination and ensures a common understanding throughout SALGA, with regard to a misconduct of this nature and sets out the procedures to be adhered to in order to ensure that incidents of harassment are reported and are dealt with seriously, expeditiously and confidentially.
• Grievance Policy and Process – the policy has an objective of affording any employee or group of employees with a grievance as an opportunity to resolve such grievances internally in a reasonable and fair manner.
• Discipline and dismissal policy – the policy provides a code of conduct as a guideline for an unacceptable behavior, which stipulates provisions to regulate the management of misconduct and provides for dismissal of employees for reasons of misconduct.
• In addition to organizational policies, the organization periodically convenes the Women’s and Men’s Dialogue forums for SALGA staff to amongst others, increase women’s engagement in peacebuilding and improve attitudes and perceptions towards coexistence, trust building and appreciation of diversity and social cohesion.

Whether any of the 15 municipalities that invested with the VBS Mutual Bank received (a) presentations and/or (b) instructions from any official of a certain political organisation (name furnished) at national or provincial level to do so; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (i) what is the name of the person who made the presentation and/or issued the instruction, (ii) on which statutory grounds was the presentation and/or instruction made and (iii) on what date did each presentation and/or instruction take place?
Reply:
The Municipal Investment Regulation 12 state that the responsibility and risk arising from any investment transaction vests in the relevant municipality or municipal entity.
All the municipalities invested with VBS Mutual Bank confirmed that they did not receive any presentation from an official of political organisation at Provincial and/ National level to invest the funds.
(b) All the municipalities invested with VBS Mutual Bank confirmed that they did not receive any instruction from an official of political organisation at Provincial and/ National level to invest the funds.
Municipalities reflected that they used quotations from financial institutions to invest the funds in accordance with their municipal investment policies.
Given the response that no presentations made and/ instruction issued, the questions relating to (i), (ii) and (iii) are not applicable.
Section 13(1) of the Municipal Financial Management Act (MFMA) states that the Minister of Finance, acting with the concurrence of the Cabinet member responsible for local government, may prescribe a framework within which municipalities must (a) Conduct their cash management and investments and
(b) Invest monies not immediately required, (2) a municipality must establish an appropriate and effective cash management and investment policy in accordance with any framework that may be prescribed in terms of subsection (1).
Regulation 6 of the Municipal Investment Regulations state that a municipality or municipal entity may invest funds only in any of the following investment types:
a) Securities issued by the national government
(b) Listed corporate bonds with an investment grade rating from a nationally or intentionally recognized credit rating agency
(c) Deposits with banks registered in terms of the Banks Act 1990 (Act No 94 of 1990)
(d) Deposits with the Public Investment Commissioners as contemplated by the Public Investment Commissioners Act 1984(Act No.45 of 1984)
(e) Deposits with the Corporation for Public Deposits as contemplated by the Corporation for Public Deposits Act 1984(Act No. 46 of 1984)
(f) Banker’s acceptance certificates or negotiable certificates of deposits of banks registered in terms of the Banks Act 1990

(j) Any other investment type as the minister may identify by regulation in terms of section 168 of the Act, in consultation with the Financial Service Board.
The investment with Mutual Bank is not permitted in terms of the Municipal Investment Regulations. The 15 municipalities invested funds contrary to the Municipal Financial Management Act and Municipal Investment Regulations.
Municipalities are prohibited to take instructions from external parties and/ official from a political organization to influence government processes, as it is deemed interference with the administration processes. Municipalities use government legislations, regulations and municipal policies to procure goods and services.

Reply:
The speech that the President delivered in Kimberley as the Commander-in-Chief of the South African National Defence Force on the occasion of Armed Forces Day, on 21 February 2018, does not make reference to any of the assertions made in the question of the Honourable Member.
The section of the speech quoted by the Honourable Member reflects the primary mandate of the SANDF, as prescribed in the Defence Act No. 42 of 2002, Section 2(b), which states: “The primary object of the Defence Force is to defend and protect the Republic, its people and its territorial integrity”.

Filtane, Mr ML to ask the President of the Republic
In light of the fact that earlier this year the Eastern Cape Department of Public Works started the process for the disposal of residential properties across the province through sale using market-related values (details furnished), and with reference to his reply to oral question number 13 on 22 August 2018, he intends to discourage and stop the sale of land and residential properties currently owned by the Eastern Cape Department of Public Works; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The disposal of non-core residential state land in urban areas is required when such properties do not contribute to the line function needs of government. The disposal of land is guided by national legislation, the State Land Disposal Act No. 48 of 1961, as well as provincial legislation – the Eastern Cape Land Disposal Act No. 7 of 2000.
Further, in April 2009, the Government Immovable Asset Management Act No. 19 of 2007 was promulgated to regulate uniformity in the management of state assets through its life-cycle, including a surrender plan for assets that do not meet the service delivery objectives of the State.
The properties that are advertised under SCMU5-18/19-PM002 are all vacant or dilapidated residential sites. The systematic release, through the prescribed legislative frameworks, of the State’s immovable assets that are surplus to the needs of Government and that are lying dormant in the urban areas, will promote residential development in municipal areas, as well as provide our people with security of tenure through the attainment of title deeds and also stimulate socio-economic development. The one way of addressing the latter is through the upgrading of dilapidated structures in the urban centres, and by so doing increase the revenue stream of municipalities and generally upgrade the facade of towns.
The Eastern Cape Province, through the said disposal process, aims at addressing the imbalances of the past, which contributed to the skewed land ownership patterns, with the focus on ownership transfer to the designated groups, such as black people, women, youth, military veterans and the disabled. First time home owners will be targeted as preferred bidders.

Whether the US$ 100 billion in new investment he intends to generate over the next five years includes investment by (a) public corporations and (b) general government; if not, in each case, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
(a) - (b) The investment drive to mobilise $100 billion over five years targets both the private sector (which includes public and unlisted companies) and general government, including state owned enterprises. The investment drive seeks to encourage investors to invest in the economy through greenfield and brownfield projects. While the emphasis is on fixed investment, government is not prescriptive on the investments.

Matiase, Mr NS to ask the MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM
With reference to her reply to question 2341 on 30 August 2018, what is the size of the land for each outstanding land claim?
Reply:
The size of the land is only determined when claims are processed and researched, as some of the claims could be found to be invalid. Part of the process requires that inspections in loco be conducted. It is only after such inspections that the correct size of the claimed land will be determined.

1. The farms Lukin 643 MS and Salaita 188 MT are amongst the farms that were claimed by Mr. Nthambeleni Hendrick Musekwa, on behalf of the Musekwa Community, before 31 December 1998.

The intention of the Department to expropriate the farms Lukin 643 MS and Salaita 188 MT is for land restoration purposes.
2. Musekwa community.

Mokgalapa, Mr S to ask the President of the Republic
What are the details of the (a) stakeholders he engaged with during his visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in August 2018, (b) basis on which the specified stakeholders were chosen to engage with and (c) implications of the decision to engage with the specified stakeholders on the perception of South Africa as a neutral and unbiased mediator; (2) whether he met with any members of opposition political parties during the visit; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) (a) why did he praise President Kabila during his visit to the DRC, in view of President Kabila’s seemingly poor record of conducting free and fair elections and (b) does he hold the same positive views of President Kabila in light of subsequent developments and President Kabila’s perceived lack of commitment to free and fair elections, particularly after President Kabila rejected his special envoy? NW2943E
Reply:
1. (a) I visited the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to meet with President Kabila. On my departure from the DRC, a courtesy call by the ruling party’s Presidential candidate, Mr Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary, took place at the airport.
(b) The purpose of the visit to the DRC was to meet with President Kabila. Mr Shadary requested the courtesy call.
(c) None.
2. No other candidate requested to meet with me. If they had, I would certainly have been willing to meet them.
3. (a) I commended President Joseph Kabila for honouring the Congolese Constitution by not seeking a third term. This position is consistent with the Statement that was issued following the 38th Southern African Development Community (SADC) Summit of Heads of State and Government held in mid-August 2018 in Windhoek, Namibia, which also commended President Kabila and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo for upholding the Constitution.
(b) I maintain the same position on President Kabila’s decision not to seek a third term. Contrary to media reports former President Mbeki has not been appointed as a Special Envoy to the DRC, but has agreed to my request, given his vast experience, to assist the government with various issues in the Great Lakes region as a whole.
