Botes, Mr A to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation

In light of the fact that one of the intentions of the meeting of Ministers of Sport in the BRICS was to host the Sport Council and finalise the BRICS Sport Charter that will allow the rotation of the BRICS games every four years, (a) what lessons were learnt from the BRICS Sport Council and (b) in what manner will the lessons contribute towards the imperatives of the National Development Plan's 2030 imperatives of (i) equal opportunity, (ii) inclusion and (iii) redress as well as outcome 14 on social cohesion and nation-building?

Reply:

South Africa did not host the BRICS Sport Council of Ministers due to the unavailability of other BRIC Sport Ministers to attend this meeting. However, it’s envisaged that the formation of the BRICS Sport Council of Ministers will assist in providing guidance on how the games should be run going forward. Ministers of Sport from the BRICS Nations responsible for Sport will be able to deliberate and agree on a number of areas pertaining to the games as it was operating in a vacuum since inception in 2016 in Goa, India. The BRICS Sport Charter and the MOU regarding the establishment of this Commission has been drafted and it’s to be deliberated during the BRICS Council of Sport Ministers meeting on the date to be determined by the Minister.

(a) The BRICS Games strengthens the relationship between the BRICS Countries

(b) The games contribute in the following:

(i) equal opportunity,

During the apartheid regime, black South African athletes were not provided/afforded an opportunity to participate in International sporting events to showcase their talents. Thus, the BRICS Games are seen as vehicle to address those disparities to afford our South African athletes an opportunity to compete with the rest of the world.

(ii) inclusion and

Our outcome 14 on social cohesion and nation building indicates that athletes should be afforded an opportunity to compete with the world despite their gender, race and class. Consequently, the BRICS Games seeks to find that balance in sport through the inclusion of every athlete determine to showcase his or her talent.

(iii) redress as well as outcome 14 on social cohesion and nation-building

Outcome 14 emphasized the importance of redress in sport. Redress is essential in sport as it seeks to address the imbalance of the past thereby building a society where opportunities are not defined by race, gender, class or religion.

What is the number of houses that needs to be built in each province to eradicate the housing backlog and enable each South African in the country to live in formal housing?

Reply:

According to information derlved from Statistics South Africa's 2016 Community Survey, which is the latest official national data available, the estimated national housing backlog is estimated at 2.1 million. On the other hand, a total of 3.9 million people have registered their need for housing on the National Housing Needs Register (NHNR). It must however be noted that the numbers registered on the NHNR are being processed on an on-going basis to determine qualification for government's subsidised opportunities. So this is work in progress and not actual demand/need. Although significant inroads have been made to reduce the backlog, it remains relatively the same over years due to increasing demand that outstrips supply. The provincial breakdown of the backlog/need is illustrated in the table below.

What is the cost in Rand for each province to eradicate the backlog?

As explained in question (a) above, the assessment of individuals who have registered on the NHNR to determine if they do qualify for state housing subsidy is an ongoing process. Therefore some of the individuals may not be eligible to receive a state housing subsidy. Those who do qualify, may require different housing programme interventions, depending on their need and locality. If all the individuals on the NHNR qualify for the Individual Housing Subsidy (BNG house), about R622 billion will be required to provide land, serviced site and top structure at the current housing subsidy of R168 852.00.

Reply:

1. No, the Department of Human Settlements has not at any stage promised housing to residents facing eviction as at 1 June 2018 at Steenvilla Housing Project in Steenberg, Cape Town.

However, the Minister of Human Settlements requested the Western Cape MEC responsible for Human Settlements to investigate and assist the affected residents of Steenvilla Housing Project, in possible measures to ensure that where possible and required alternative measures for accommodation.

Due to the huge housing backlog in the Western Cape, it was agreed that qualifying “ families facing eviction will be assisted in phases, with the most vulnerable group prioritised namely the elderly and disabled and thereafter assist those that meet the qualification criteria for subsidised housing. Currently, 37 evictees have been identified for assistance.

2. Refer to number 1 above.

2. It must be noted that the construction cost is separate from the cost of land as well as provision of water and sanitation. These costs per uniVhouse can be broken down as follows:

  • Raw Land- R6 000
  • Water and Sanitation- R7 673

3. The National Department provides the Provinces with a sector adopted subsidy quantum guideline which allocates R168 852 per house as follows:

  • Top Structure- R116 867
  • Service cost- R 45 985
  • Raw Land- R 6 000

The main reasons for the variances includes amongst others the following:

  • The housing programme(s) implemented by a Province

        In most cases implementation of Rural Housing Programme cost less than that of Social Housing Programme such as Community Residential Programme.

  • Bulk Provision

 In urban areas, bulk has to be provided before top structure can be constructed and the costs of that bulk are included in the total cost of the construction.

  • Environmental impact

The environmental conditions of coastal areas differs significantly to those of inland Provinces and this pushes the costs of constructing houses for mainly coastal areas with prolonged rainy seasons.

  • Acquisition of building material

In certain Provinces, building material has to be acquired in Metropolitan areas such as Gauteng and the cost of transport has a cost bearing in the acquisition of building material.

  • Labour costs

For rural areas, the cost of labour is less as compared to urban areas and construction costs end up belng lesser as a result.

Reply:

Upon the matter being drawn to my attention, I directed a letter to the Auditor General to conduct an investigation into the matter of the CSOS investments of its surpluses into financial institutions. The Auditor-General confirmed that it would undertake a regulatory audit as part of the annual audit of the CSOS. The report is still outstanding and once presented will be scrutinised for required steps to be taken should it be found that persons had acted unlawfully, illegally and/or there was fraud, mismanagement, corruption or otherwise.

In addition I have directed that the Director-General taken necessary steps to have a forensic audit carried out as well as consult and ensure that the SIU and/or Hawks are directed to investigate the matter of the CSOS investment of surplus funds in financial institutions.

As and when required I will provide reports to Parliament on the details and progress related to this matter.

Minister Xasa fully supports the call by President Ramaphosa, for the public service to institute a lifestyle audit mechanism to monitor the lifestyles of personnel in the public service, especially the members of SMS and other senior people in the service of the public, including personnel at the leadership of state entities.

To this end, the Minister has noted the question from the Honourable Purdon (MPL), in relation to lifestyle audits. However, to date, the Minister has not found cause to institute any audits on the lifestyles of any personnel in the Ministry and neither is there cause to institute any such audits on the heads of entities, at this stage.

R220,000.00

The Department was charged with the responsibility to host the cultural programme of both the Chinese State visit and the BRICS Summit. The initial productions contracted had limitations in the planned showcasing of South African diverse cultures. As a result the Chine state visit performances were cancelled and focus was placed on the BRICS performances. This arrangement meant that new arts practitioners, service providers and new script designed to ensure the showcasing of South African diverse cultures. As a consequence some contracts of artists had to be renegotiated accordingly and this affected almost all preforming contracts of artists and payment schedules.

Whether the Government has a policy on the conditions and/or circumstances under which South Africa is willing to engage with perceived dictatorial leaders in Africa and beyond; if so, (a) do such leaders have to meet any requirements in order to enjoy the support of the Government and (b) did the Government take the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (DRC) refusal to permit Mr Moise Katumbi, an opposition party candidate, entry into the country into consideration while planning the President’s trip to the DRC, given that it posed an alleged fundamental threat to democratic processes in the DRC?

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Finance

Whether the Government intends to provide financial assistance or bail-outs to state-owned entities; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the details thereof?

Reply:

Government’s principle is that, as far as possible, any financial support to SOCs should be done in a deficit-neutral manner (i.e. not lead to a widening of the deficit). This can be done through a combination of the sale of non-core assets, reprioritisation of spending, or other revenue measures. Nevertheless – as noted in the 2018 Budget Review – the SOC sector represents a major risk to the fiscal framework, and reforms are required to put these companies on a more sustainable footing. Part of the reform process will involve costing of developmental mandates, to provide government with a better understanding of the level of support required for non-commercial activities. Another part of the reform will require understanding how to bolster their commercial activities, through a combination of efficiency improvements and private sector participation. The budget process is currently under way. Any decisions around financial support to SOCs will be considered as part of this broader process, and be published in the 2018 MTBPS.
