According to the information received from Eskom

The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has a National Climate Response White Policy Paper in place and has currently released the Climate Change Bill for public consultation.

To ensure full alignment with the National Climate Change Response White Paper, Eskom has a climate change policy and a strategy in place in line with overall government policy. Eskom Climate Change Strategy provides an overview of Eskom’s initiatives in terms of the following:

1. Adaptation to the adverse impacts of climate change;

2. Green and climate finance opportunities;

3. Innovation through research and development;

4. Diversification of the energy mix to lower carbon technologies;

5. Energy efficiency;

6. Advocacy and Partnerships at national and international levels on climate change response.

Lastly, the most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emission from the electricity sector is to diversify the electricity supply. To date, all low carbon supply options determined through the IRP process have been allocated to Independent Power Producers by the Department of Energy.

Given that coal-fired generation has a negative impact on greenhouse gas (viz. carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane) emissions, any addition of coal generation plant will negatively impact on climate change.

South Africa’s commitment to reduce these emissions was taken into account in the 2010 IRP by way of a cap on carbon emissions. It is expected that the new iteration of the IRP is cognisant of South Africa’s commitment to the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Eskom has a plan in place to manage local air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide. This however is not a greenhouse gas and technologies such as the FGD technology only removes sulphur dioxide emissions. In the absence of end-of-pipe technology, there are little opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint of existing coal-fired power stations.

Currently, the most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector is to diversify the electricity supply away from coal towards lower-carbon technologies (nuclear, hydro, renewables and gas). Unfortunately, to date, all lower-carbon supply options determined through the IRP Planning process have been allocated to Independent Power Producers and not to Eskom.

In the absence of a low-carbon supply allocation, Eskom has proceeded with delivering demand management savings, the New Build programme (Medupi and Kusile power stations employ supercritical designs) as well as Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme.

Further initiatives include the roll out of photovoltaic (PV) plants to supplement generation at existing coal-fired power station sites, the construction and operation of Sere (100 MW windfarm) and many research initiatives, from an operating rural microgrid and smartgrid applications to wave energy to electric vehicle testing.

Eskom Transmission has also enabled the connection of over 3 000 MW renewable energy projects to the national grid.

In this respect, Eskom is well-prepared to manage the transition away from carbon intensive electricity production and participates extensively in Department of Environmental Affairs processes to report and limit future greenhouse gas emissions.

Further, Eskom has undertaken detailed studies with the CSIR on climate impact modelling in Southern Africa. This work will inform plans on how to prepare Eskom’s infrastructure and people for impending climate change and extreme weather events. The country’s (and by inference Eskom’s) vulnerability to climate change is cause for concern and we want to ensure we deal with this proactively.

It is critical that there is a “just transition” from carbon intensive electricity production. The transition should be able to address the pressing socio-economic challenges of poverty and inequality. The workers and communities, especially those in the sectors and areas that will be most affected, such as coal plants, coal mines and coal transportation will need alternatives to secure their well-being. Options such as re-skilling for new jobs and community based programmes are vital to ensure that those most vulnerable to the development are protected

Reply:

(a) No.

(b) There are significant human risks.

(i) There are significant human risks are that the illegal miners can get injured or killed from the blast, inhale noxious gases from the explosion which can lead to death; can cause underground fires. Some of the stolen explosives are sometimes also used in blasting Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs).

(ii) The Department is working together with the all law agencies including the Hawks to arrest and recommend for prosecutions of illegal miners and the syndicate leaders. There is also Gauteng Illegal Mining Stakeholder Forum which consists of SAPS, Crime Intelligence, State Security agency; Mining Companies; Organised Labour. The Mine Health and Safety Council is developing a new standard for sealing of shafts that will minimise the risk of being re-opened by illegal miners and less susceptible to environmental factors.

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

(2)	(a)	Beneficiation is currently taking place at the offices of Scarlet Skye Investments (SSI) based in Houghton, Johannesburg, Gauteng. SSI currently employs learners from the Richtersveld Community. Beneficiation has been taking place since 2015.

	(b)	Beneficiation contributes an additional 9% (NINE PERCENT) income to the Pooling and Sharing Joint Venture (PSJV) to income after the tender process.
(3)	(a)	The Alexkor PSJV followed its Supply Chain Management policy. The process included:
		(i)	the “Request for Proposal” (RFP 03/14) was advertised in the Government Tender Bulletin dated 31 October 2014 as well as the Business Day on 25 October 2014;
		(ii)	7 (SEVEN) Companies expressed their interest in RFP 03/2014 and submitted proposals

		(v)	Following the presentation and assessment of the SSI bid proposal, the Alexkor PSJV Board was satisfied with the prices and proposals submitted by SSI. The Alexkor PSJV Board appointed SSI with effect from 01 March 2018.

	(b)	The independent valuator process was stopped after some of the contractors’ complained about beneficiation and it was decided that the diamonds selected for beneficiation process will be paid based on the tender price of the goods.
	(c)	The decision was taken by the Management of the Alexkor RMC PSJV
	(d)	It did not have any impact on the diamond sales as the diamonds are sold to the highest bidder and not on the reserved price.
	(e)	There are about between sixty and eighty companies attending the diamond tenders. It is not always the same companies attending the tenders; this varies from sale to sale. Since inception approximately 200 license holding companies participated in the tenders. These tenders take place at the offices of SSI in Johannesburg,
	(f)	The diamonds are not sold to one specific company but to various participating license holding companies that has the highest bid on any specific range or category of diamonds on tender. Since 2015 approximately 200 companies participated in the tenders. The sales are very competitive and there is at least 15 to 20 winning companies at every sale. (This number depends on how many carats are on sale).

(4)	In terms of the South African Diamonds and Precious Metals Regulator (SADPMR) prescripts, a license is issued to an individual “Diamond Dealer” or to a company “Diamond Trading House”. In this instance, Mr Daniel Nathan is the holder of the required Diamond Dealer license.

Jafta, Mr SM to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources

With reference to section 54 of the Mine Health and Safety Act, Act 29 of 1996, to what extent has he engaged all role-players in the mining sector concerning the perceived (a) opaque reasons often furnished by his department to close mines that seemingly have an adverse effect on the health and safety of employees and (b) attitude of employers with regard to work stoppages?

Source

Reply:

a) The Minister has previously engaged with stakeholders in the Mining Industry Growth Development Employment Task Team (MIGDETT) on section 54. There were also further engagement in the Mine Health and Safety Council. These structures consists of organised labour (NUM, AMCU, UASA, and Solidarity) employers (Minerals council of South Africa, South African Mining Development Agency). Mining companies either individually or collectively also meet with the Minister on section 54 enforcement.

b) There are general 3 types of response from the mining companies:

Some mining companies accept the section 54 as being positive and adding value to management oversight to non-compliance to the Mine Health and Safety Act.
Second group thinks that a different enforcement measure should have applied like section 55 instead of section 54. This group will accept the section 54 instruction with reservations.
The last group is very antagonistic and challenges the decisions of the Inspector in the Labour Court for the section 54 to be varied or set aside. There are companies that have even sued the Department for loss of production after they were issued with a section 54 instruction.

(1)(a) In terms of Section 1(1)(x) of the National Water Act, 1998 (Act no. 36 of 1998) (NWA) the Department owns the land on which a government waterworks is situated. The Department owns, manages and controls 320 state own dams (government waterworks) country wide. The extent of the land required is determined scientifically up to the dam boundary line of each dam which includes the full supply level, the 1:100 year flood line and a buffer line. In terms of GIAMA, the disposal policies of the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) and the National Department of Public Works (NDPW) the excess land must be transferred to NDPW. The Minister only acquires the minimum land required for the government waterworks in order to manage, operate and maintain the dams. In relation to ownership, the Minister has exclusive rights on the land within the government waterworks and the water source is regarded as national assets which must be protected in terms of the NWA. Refer to Annexure A for the amount of land owned by the entities.

(1)(b) Refer to Annexure A for the amount of land owned by the entities.

(2)(a) The Department currently does not have existing legal lease agreements in place as they have expired. However, the Department is currently in the process of appointing a Service Provider to develop a policy that will be used when dealing with leasing of land within the government waterworks. It is anticipated that the policy will be finalised by November 2018 and the leasing of land within the government waterworks will therefore resume.

(2)(b) Refer to Annexure A for the amount of land owned by the entities that have been leased out.

(b) Outcomes of the meeting:

OUTCOME 1: IDENTIFICATION OF GAPS AND AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION

In relation to the expected outcome of identification of gaps and areas of improvement in entrepreneurship education, it was reflected that the approach to entrepreneurship education can be broadly categorized into two major approaches, the first being “education for entrepreneurship” and secondly “education about entrepreneurship”. The former has a practical focus on entrepreneurship education and the goal is to equip the learner with entrepreneurial skills. The latter focuses on the theoretical aspect of entrepreneurship education and its goal is to provide the student with knowledge pertaining to the various schools of thought around entrepreneurship. The gap that was identified is that the bulk of higher education learning around entrepreneurship has mainly focused on the theoretical approach which is education about entrepreneurship without necessarily equipping the leaner with practical skills that are required for entrepreneurship. Therefore there is a need to further engage institutions of learning on how the two approaches to entrepreneurship education can be brought into alignment with the country’s priority to train and develop an increasing number of entrepreneurs and to improve the skills base of existing entrepreneurs for business sustainability. Consideration will be given on the approach as the discourse around embedding entrepreneurship education into curricular continues.

OUTCOME 2: A PLAN ON HOW DSBD CAN COLLABORATE WITH ACADEMIA, GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT FINANCE INSTITUTIONS TO ENSURE THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The second outcome speaks to the outlining of a plan on how the DSBD can collaborate with academia, government departments and Development Finance Institutions to ensure the development and growth of entrepreneurship. It emerged from the discussions that there were already efforts that had been taking place between various institutions and different sections of the public sector. It was established that because these efforts were fragmented and the impact thereof has been limited and minimal. A need for greater collaboration between all the stakeholders was identified. Going forward, it was determined that DSBD would have further engagements with higher education institutions and other government departments as a step towards coordination and collaboration. An invitation from DHET to DSBD was extended to attend their upcoming workshop on entrepreneurship education. This received a positive response from DSBD as DHET has already established a network of stakeholders around entrepreneurship education. It was generally agreed that stakeholders would share information on any new and ongoing programmes with regard to entrepreneurship education.

OUTCOME 3: THE ROLE OF DEVELOPMENT FINANCE INSTITUTIONS (DFIS)

The third outcome was concerning the role of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in entrepreneurship education. It was highlighted that efforts to promote entrepreneurship within institutions of higher learning often lacked the necessary financial resources which is an inhibiting factor for entrepreneurship education. It was suggested that there is a need to get commitment from various institutions to provide some type of financial investment towards entrepreneurship education. Therefore, the final plan on how the Department will collaborate will be drafted once existing collaborations have been determined in order to avoid duplication.

OUTCOME 4: GENERATION OF A DEPARTMENTAL-INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION RESEARCH PROTOCOL AND FRAMEWORK THAT WILL KEEP GOVERNMENT ABREAST OF THE IMPACT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL ENTERPRISES.

The fourth outcome was in respect of generating a Departmental-Institutions of Higher Education research protocol and framework that will keep government abreast of the impact of entrepreneurship education on the development of small enterprises. It was reiterated that the promotion of research within entrepreneurship should be prioritised and that the already existing body of knowledge should be shared with the Department. It was discussed that some institutions made deliberate efforts towards updating research methodologies and strategies and therefore a connection between the Department and them would be of great benefit.

OUTCOME 5: DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH-LEVEL FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH MULTI-STAKEHOLDER SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT PARTNERSHIPS WILL BE ESTABLISHED WITHIN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION TO ENSURE THE COMMERCIALISATION OF INNOVATIVE IDEAS AND PROVISION OF INTEGRATED SUPPORT SERVICES (CO-LOCATION)

The fifth outcome spoke of the development of a high-level framework within which multi-stakeholder small business development support partnerships will be established within institutions of higher education to ensure the commercialisation of innovative ideas and provision of integrated support services (co-location). It was discussed that some institutions were already implementing such arrangements particularly with SEDA, lessons on best practice around co-location would be shared among the stakeholders.

(c) Feedback that influenced policy direction on the Department

One of the main emerging points from the roundtable discussion was a need for the Department to be more intentional in its collaboration with institutions of higher learning regarding the promotion of entrepreneurship. The DSBD has an approved research agenda in place that reflects its thematic and priority areas of research around small, medium micro enterprises and cooperatives. A draft research plan has been formulated for the financial year 2018/2019. The Department is engaging higher education institutions with a view to entering into partnerships around research on SMMES and cooperatives.

In this regard, the Department intends utilising post-graduate students that are engaged in research commensurate with the thematic areas of the approved DSBD research agenda. Moreover the proposed partnership/s will allow the DSBD to conduct research in a cost effective manner and afford post-graduate students access to data and respondents for successful implementation and completion of research projects.

To date the Department has engaged with several academic institutions with the aim of forming research partnerships. The response from the academic institutions has been positive however at this stage formal Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) are yet to be finalised. The latest of these engagements was on 01 June 2018, wherein the Minister addressed the South African Commerce Deans Association of all South African Universities at the Turfloop University, in Limpopo. The Minister addressed some of the issues raised in the October 2017 Colloquium with the Deans at this engagement, to which the Deans noted the input and later agreed among themselves to set up a team to follow up and implement some of these proposals.

The table below responds to questions (b) to (f) regarding the universities that were affected by disruptions, dates and the extent of the damage caused during the disruptions, reasons for the disruptions and intervention by the Department to resolve the situation.

(b) Institution	(c) and (d) (i) and (ii) Dates of protests and/or extent of damages	(d) Reasons for disruption	(f) Intervention by the Department
1. Nelson Mandela University	2 - 4 May 2018: Students blocked the main entrances at the PE campus. The academic programme was interrupted, and staff members were unable to reach their workstations, and as a result, registration slowed down.	Delays in receiving confirmations of NSFAS funding for both first-time entering and senior students.	None.
2. Durban University of Technology	05 January - 27 February 2018: Employees were on strike. The registration process was disrupted and delayed.	Salary negotiations.	The Deputy Minister facilitated negotiations between unions and management. An agreement was reached, and employees returned to work.
	27 - 29 March 2018: Student protest. No severe damage to property. Classes were suspended at Durban campus from 28 March - 3 April 2018.	Delays in payment of allowances. This was an IT- related problem between the University and NSFAS systems.	Facilitated engagement with NSFAS.
3. . University of KwaZulu-Natal	20 - 23 March 2018: Student protest. Classes were disrupted, buildings set alight and vandalised.	Delays in payment of allowances, accommodation issues, academic exclusions and examination dates.	None.
4. University of Mpumalanga	Mbombela Campus 15 - 16 January 2018 and 12 - 16 March 2018: No damage to property. The registration of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) students was briefly affected.	The Campus Representative Council (CRC) mobilised the WIL students against paying the R150 refundable deposit fee for their stay on campus during their WIL registration and orientation week. There was a delay in paying the off-campus accommodation providers due to the non-submission of required documentation for university payments to be made.	None.
	Siyabuswa Campus 12 - 23 February 2018 and 14 March 2018: No material damage to property.	Delays in payment of book allowances and study guides Students demanded Wi-Fi connectivity in the residences. Concerns were raised regarding the prices of meals from the catering service provider. Students demanded that there should be no increase in the price of food offered by the caterer. The students complained that the maintenance of the campus and residences are not regularly carried out.
5. Mangosuthu University of Technology	14 February 2018 - 9 March 2018: A dining hall and canteen were looted, and a lecture hall was petrol bombed.	Delays in the disbursement of allowances linked to a new service provider on campus as well as a shortage of transportation for students.	None.

Delayed payment of NSFAS allowances, operating hours of the Library and the cafeteria on campus, lack of sports facilities and appointment of a new security company at the Welkom campus.	None.
7. University of Zululand	16 February 2018 and 1 March 2018: Two police vehicles and a bookshop were burnt, and a canteen/dining hall on campus was looted.	NSFAS allowances not paid timeously. The students submitted a memorandum to the management demanding that the progression and auto promotion rules should be scrapped and students excluded in terms of the rules be allowed to register, Students did not accept the transactional cost of R30 charged by the service provider (Fundi) for payment of allowances.	The Department engaged with the university on a daily basis in an attempt to find a solution. The Vice-Chancellor submitted daily reports to the Department.
8. Walter Sisulu University	22 February 2018 and 16 March 2018: Students protests at Buffalo, Zamukulungisa and Butterworth Campuses were closed. 2 - 26 June 2018: Staff protest organised by NEHAWU and NTEU. Buffalo City Campus was closed. Some staff members at the Butterworth campus went on strike	The protest was triggered by the challenges relating to the allocation of residence spaces using the university’s new online system, maintenance of residences and the accreditation of civil engineering programme which was about to be withdrawn by the Engineering Council South Africa (ECSA). 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 19 March 2018. The Department was in contact with the university on a daily basis and received daily reports from the Vice Chancellor. Before the strike action, the Director-General and Departmental officials met with the two unions. The university management updated the Department regularly.
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.
10. University of Venda	1 - 14 March 2018: Disruption of classes at UNIVEN. Classes of the two local schools near the university were disrupted. Streets were barricaded with rubble and burning tyres	Delayed disbursement of NSFAS allowances and the decentralisation of NSFAS.

11. University of Fort Hare	Until 26 February 2018: Students boycotted classes at the beginning of the year.	Shortage of student accommodation.	None
	7 June 2018 and still unresolved as at 18 July 2018. Workers strike relating to wage negotiations. Examinations were disrupted and deferred to the end of July 2018. 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.	Late payment of NSFAS allowances. Wage negotiations	None.
13. Tshwane University of Technology	29 January 2018 and 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.

Reply:

1. No tender was advertised for the services of (name furnished) but a single source deviation was approved.

2. The certain person (name furnished) was appointed as a consultant on 1 August 2011.

3. I refer the Honorable Member to my response to Hon Dlamini (EFF) question number 1080 (NW1172E) dated 20 April 2018, where I responded to a similar question in great detail. The process to appoint the consultant for two contracts followed all the supply chain rules for a single source technical assistance contracting process, so no tender was advertised.

4. The amounts were progressive based on the DPSA scale rate increment.

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.

Reply:

(a) and (b) (i) and (ii) SA Airways Technical (SAAT) does not only procure parts and technical components from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). In instances where parts, components and technical equipment are available from accredited resellers, channel partners, accepted suppliers or if refurbished, overhauled or serviced parts/components/equipment are available and acceptable, quotations are invited on a competitive basis from suppliers other than OEMs. The procurement process is in accordance with the South African Airways Global Supply Chain Policy which was approved by the Board of Directors of SAA in 2016.

.

(ii) (aa) The names of Suppliers are as per the Approved List of Suppliers attached as Annexure A.

(ii) (bb) Annexure B contains the list of contracts which are in place with various suppliers.

(ii) (cc) SAAT’s financial systems do not provide functionality to provide the price difference between OEMs and other suppliers for the approximate 18 000 orders processed per annum.

(ii) (dd) Parts and technical components are procured from suppliers other than OEMs when stock is not available, if an acceptable serviced component/part is available from channel partners, agents with proprietary rights associated with OEMs.

(a) (i), (ii), and (iv) In terms of the Board appointment process, names of potential candidates for the database may be submitted through various means, including:

Submission by the individual of his or her Curriculum Vitae;
Nomination by another person; or
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.

Ntlangwini, Ms EN to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises

(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?

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.

Mkhaliphi, Ms HO to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises

(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?

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).

Kalyan, Ms SV to ask 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

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.

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.

What was the process by which Mervyn Carstens was selected to take up the Alexkor Pooling and Sharing Joint Venture CEO position, specify (a) when the post was advertised, (b) who were the other candidates who applied, (c) who were the other candidates shortlisted or interviewed, (d) who was on the selection panel, and (e) what relevant qualifications Mr Carstens possesses?

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

According to Alexkor, Mr Carstens was appointed by the Board of Alexkor/PSJV following a recruitment process for the position in question. The process was as per the PSJV recruitment and selection process.
(a)	The position was advertised in the Sunday Times on Sunday, 27 May 2012.
(b)	The names of the candidates whom applied for this position have been disclosed to the Department. However, due to the confidential nature of this information, no further details will be disclosed.
(c)	The names of the candidates shortlisted or interviewed have been disclosed to the Department. However, due to the confidential nature of this information, no further details will be disclosed.
(d)	(i)	Mr Reginald Muzariri	Chairperson (at the time)
	(ii)	Dr Roger Paul	Member of the Board (at the time)
	(iii)	Prof Viola Makin	Member of the Board (at the time)
	(iv)	Mr Craig Matthews	Representing the RMC
	(v)	Mr Willem Diergaardt	Representing the RMC
	(vi)	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.
