Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether the Government intends to provide a rescue plan and/or resources to rescue VBS Mutual Bank from liquidation; if not, why not; if so, what (a) is the rationale for the provision of a rescue plan and (b) are the relevant details of the rescue plan?
Reply:
On the 9 August, following the recommendation from the Registrar of Banks, the Minister placed the Venda Building Society (VBS) Mutual Bank under curatorship as a consequence of the bank being unable to honour its financial commitments. Government’s primary focus is to protect ordinary retail depositors. The curatorship process is still in progress, including a forensic investigation. Following an initial report from the curator, government has already provided a guarantee to the South African Reserve Bank amounting to R336 million to facilitate the repayment of all retail deposits up to R100 000 per retail depositor, starting from Friday, 13 July 2018. Retail deposits are defined as deposits in VBS by individuals, burial societies, stokvels and savings clubs, collectively referred to as retail depositors. The guarantee does not cover municipal or corporate deposits.
Details of the qualifying depositors and modalities of payment of retail depositors can be found in Annexure A[1]. The Government will only make a final decision on further steps to take on VBS Mutual Bank once the curator and forensic investigators have submitted a further substantive report.
Beyond rescuing ordinary depositors outlined above, there are therefore no plans to rescue VBS Mutual Bank from liquidation.

Mhlongo, Mr P to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
(1)(a) What is the tariff payable to each member of the Audit Committee of the Department of Defence since 1 April 2017 and (b) what is the value of each tariff that members of the audit committee have received since 1 April 2017; (2) have all tariffs paid been in line with the National Treasury regulations and the amended tariff implemented as at 1 April 2017; if not, (a) why not and (b) what amount has each member of the audit committee been paid as a stipend since 1 April 2017; (3) (a) how were the payments made, (b) who authorised the payments and (c) what does she intend doing to (i) recover the money and (ii) prevent this from happening again; (4) whether the money that was overpaid to members of the audit committee will be refunded; if so, by what date; (5) has she found that the audit committee has been performing its duties in accordance with their performance plans and targets; if not, what has been the consequence of their poor performance?
Reply:
I have become aware of a difference in interpretation, amongst members of the DOD, given to the application of National Treasury Regulations applicable to the remuneration of Audit Committee members. I have written to the Minister of Finance to request clarity on the correct application of the applicable National Treasury Regulations and will be in a position to respond to the questions posed here once such response has been received.

Ntlangwini, Ms EN to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
What (a) is the black economic empowerment (BEE) arrangement regarding the potential Mineral Commodities mine in Xolobeni, (b) are the names of the BEE beneficiaries and (c) is the company number of each specified BEE beneficiary?
Reply:
The application for mineral commodities mine rights in Xolobeni would be done through the Department of the Minerals (DMR). The DMR regulate the mining sector amongst other using the Mining Charter which spells out how BEE should be arranged and implemented in the mining sector. The DMR is therefore the appropriate National Department to furnish information regarding entities that applied for mineral commodities mining rights as well as their BEE credential and plans as the process is governed by the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 28 of 2002, of which the DMR is the custodian.

- Elimination of illegal crossings in the Rail environment mainly through fencing, including walling of the operational tunnel in the long term.
- Acceleration of the Fencing Programme is an area where PRASA is focusing on in terms of reduction of fatalities as well as improved security that will enable better train performance.
- Elimination of high risk level crossings in the medium to long term. Speed restrictions -enforcement of speed restriction on platforms.
- Provision of staff at high risk locations, specifically to watch for people loitering in the Operational areas.
- Speed restrictions - enforcement of speed restriction on platforms and in the operational tunnel.
Actions PRASA is taking to reduce the injuries on trains:
- Train Service Performance improvement to reduce overcrowding and the need to rush for a train.
- Introduction of new trains with open walkthrough between coaches - no doors between coaches.
- Redesign/rebuild Platform (Platform Alignment). For example, three Platforms on the Pienaarspoort Corridor in Gauteng aligned with the new train set height.
- Improve surfaces on platforms and footbridges through the station modernisation, station upgrades, station improvement and footbridge projects.
- Staff Training in Crowd Control Procedures.
- Return coaches to service to improve availability of train sets and reduce overcrowding.
- CCTV Cameras/Monitoring on Stations.
- Platform Marshalls and Safety Patrollers deployed in high capacity corridors and stations.

- The Department currently does not routinely monitor such cases at university and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) campuses. The Department has initiated a process to collect such data from institutions and developed an instrument to be distributed to institutions. Once responses have been received, a report will be provided.
- The Gender Based Violence (GBV) Policy and Strategic Framework is still in the process of development. HEAIDS developed the draft GBV Policy and Strategic Framework, and handed them over to the Department on 26 August 2018. The formal policy development process still needs to be conducted, such as conducting further external consultation, including with the Departments of Social Development, Health, Women, Justice and Constitutional Development, and the National Prosecuting Agency; a Socio-Economic Impact Assessment Study needs to be conducted; and a public comments process. The GBV Policy and Strategic Framework will provide an implementation plan that includes monitoring and reporting on incidents. Once finalised and published, the Department will monitor the implementation of the policy.

Marais, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
Whether the Cabinet considered any other options for the long-term Defence Policy and Defence Strategic Trajectory of the country prior to adopting the 2015 Defence Review; if so, (a) why did the Cabinet approve the 2015 Defence Review, (b) on what bases were the other options excluded and (c) what are the summaries of the details of the other options?
Reply:
- The Cabinet considered three (3) separate policy options in the development of the Defence Review 2015. Quoting directly from Paragraphs 103 – 110 of Chapter 9 of the Defence Review 2015, these were:
(a) Strategic Policy Option 1: Maintain the Status Quo.
i) Should, for whatever reason, the Defence Strategic Trajectory not be achieved, the Defence Force would have to enter into an urgent redesign process to counter its current state of critical decline and attempt to establish a healthy, though significantly reduced defence capability, that would be focussed primarily on domestic matters. Its primarily domestic orientation and reduced capabilities would provide a very limited capability to: defend territorial integrity, ensure national sovereignty and support South Africa’s continental leadership role.
ii) The significantly reduced force design would have to arrest the critical decline in the Defence Force and establish limited capabilities that:
- are lighter and cheaper with a greater tooth-to-tail ratio;
- reduce the overhead costs of headquarters and command structures to single command corps;
- establish balance within a lighter force;
- reside within relatively unsophisticated main operating systems;
- meet a significantly reduced level of standing domestic and international defence commitments; and
- promote a spatially dispersed footprint.
(iii) This significantly redesigned force would have to be modelled according to the following concepts for it to develop utility:
- A lighter, infantry-based landward capability focussed primarily on internal operations.
- An air defence capability focussed primarily on light, tactical mobility.
- A littoral maritime defence capability focussed primarily on the protection of territorial waters.
- A Special Force capability focussed on a limited spectrum of Special Force operations.
(b) Strategic Policy Option 2: Implement the Defence Strategic Trajectory Independently
- The pursuit of the Defence Strategic Trajectory will, over time, develop a defence capability capable of conducting major combat operations in the defence and protection of South Africa, its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
- The capability created would be commensurate with South Africa’s continental leadership responsibilities, establishing the gravitas required in support of Africa’s peace and security architecture. The ability to project forces over long distances and sustain them for protracted periods of time will further bolster South Africa’s continental leadership responsibilities and influence, as well as making a significant contribution to the security of South Africa’s vital national interests.
- Should Government wish to pursue the Defence Strategic Trajectory on a solely national basis, it would take significant time to establish all the necessary competence and capabilities to achieve the degree of defence capability set out in Milestone 4.
(c) Strategic Policy Option 3: Implement the Defence Strategic Trajectory in Partnership
- Government may consider a course of action that would shorten the duration of the Defence Strategic Trajectory. In essence, the main point of leverage would be the extent to which Government might decide to pursue the Defence Strategic Trajectory with the assistance of either a strategic partner or a number of strategic partners.
- Partnering, either with a single strategic partner or with multiple strategic partners in specific capability areas, would accelerate the overall implementation of the Defence Review and the Defence Strategic Trajectory, as well as leverage a number of funding options for the trajectory.

Whether, with reference to Silverton CAS 155/07/2011, (a) a certain person (name furnished) will be charged as a result of the report drafted by a certain person (name furnished) and signed off by the then-acting crime intelligence boss (name furnished); if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The investigation and a comprehensive charge sheet, with regard to Silverton, CAS 155/07/2011, has been finalised. The suspects in this matter were arrested, on 21 September 2011 and on 4 October 2011, respectively. The case was subsequently withdrawn against the accused, on 4 December 2011, based on a decision by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
Based on a decision by the Supreme Court of Appeal, the matter was re-enrolled on the court roll at the Serious Commercial Crimes Court, Pretoria, on 1 April 2015. However, it was struck from the roll, on 6 July 2015, due to the fact that the documentation, which the State would be relying upon, was not yet declassified by the South African Police Service (SAPS).
This matter cannot proceed as the SAPS has not yet declassified the documentation, which was used in the commission of the alleged crimes.
The investigation includes the allegations made by Major General M Hankel, in the report to the Inspector General of Intelligence.
On 17 May 2017, the then Acting National Commissioner of the SAPS, Lieutenant General Phahlane, informed the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP),

Reply:
Yes, the Remuneration Committee (REMCO) of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) has the authority to recruit executive managers in consultation with Council. So the power to employ rests with Council. REMCO is a sub-committee of Council. The Council can however delegate such powers to the Registrar, in terms of Section 12(1) of the Health Professions Act, 1974 (Act No. 56 of 1974).

Whether the reported R290 million loan by the Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality to Denel was lawful; if not, what steps are being taken to ensure that the money is being repaid in this regard?
Reply:
Based on information received from Denel SOC Limited:
Yes. The facility was lawful.
The facility was approved by the Board of Denel on 04 September 2012. Government (National Treasury and the Department of Public Enterprises) had approved the Domestic Medium Term Note (DMTN) in 2007/2008 for R2 200 000 000, which provided for both secured and unsecured components. The Regiments Capital R290 million loan (which funds turned out to be that of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality’s), was part of the unsecured component of the DMTN programme. This loan, like all the other loans under the DMTN programme, was duly registered with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Securities. The identification and contracting of the up-takers of the facility would be the responsibility of the Board without further involvement of the Ministers of Finance and Public Enterprises.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Health
With reference to his comments on the alleged corrupt collusion between the State Attorney’s office and claimants of supposed malpractice in his department (details furnished), (a) what were the circumstances that resulted in this type of fraud to be committed over a protracted period of time without detection, (b) who should have been exercising oversight and (c) what measures has his department put in place to stop this type of fraud?
Reply:
The State did not pay R 60 Billion since 2013 as alleged in your statement. The figure of R 60 Billion is the contingency liability and not the actual money paid to the claimants by the State. This is the money that if proved in the Court of Law, the State will have to pay to the claimants. This will only happen if we do not detect bogus or invalid claims.
(a) The Department of Justice will be better placed to respond to this as it has oversight over the State Attorney;
(b) The State Attorney is under the Department of Justice and they report the Chief Litigation Officer. Therefore, the Department of Justice is responsible for oversight;
(c) The Department is liaising with the law enforcement agencies such as the Hawks and SAPS and other bodies such as Law Societies.
Furthermore, the Department is in the issues a transversal tender to deal with Medico-Legal Cases and with the Terms of Reference that include among others, the following:
(i) Improved co-ordination of anti-corruption initiatives with the Provincial Government; and
(ii) Investigating effectively alleged economic crime (fraud, theft and corruption) as well as maladministration.

(c) (i)(ii) Please see attached working paper for amounts paid back and still owing.
(d) The employees agreed to pay back the money over a period ranging from 4 to 24 months
(e) The 2015/16 overpayment relates to the upskilling of traffic officers as per collective agreement 1 of 2015 between RTMC and organised labour. The collective agreement excluded senior inspectors from payment of an upskilling benefit however 24 names of senior inspectors were incorrectly included in the list of officials entitled to the benefit.
This mistake was identified after payment and senior inspectors were informed of the erroneous payment and repayment arrangements made.
In 2016/17, 17 employees were overpaid as a result of resignations subsequent to the salary payment date which is the 15th of each month. These overpayments were recovered from the leave pay-outs.
In this period an allowance due to the one official was incorrectly calculated resulting in overpayment. This was identified and the official made arrangements to repay the money.
In 2017/18, 16 employees were overpaid as a result of incorrect calculation of their 13th cheque.
(f) No interest was charged.

Railway Safety Regulator
(a)(i) During March 2017, the Railway Safety regulator became aware of overpayment of bonusses during the 2015/16 Financial Year period had been detected, and that recovery of such overpayments had to be initiated. The over-payment resulted in the incorrect salary scales being utilized for calculation of bonuses. A total of thirty nine (39) employees were affected:
The current RSR Debt Recovery Policy makes provision for recovery of overpayments for salaries, allowance and other related payments. The recovery of 2015/16 bonus overpayments was in line with the Debt Collectors Policy, and full consultations of employees has been concluded, as required. Recovery of the overpayment amounts for bonusses paid to executives during the 2015/16 financial year period, had commenced in March 2017. Recovery from other employees commenced in September 2017, in accordance with Section 9.6.2 of the RSR Debtor Management policy, which stipulates that “all internal debts shall be recovered within twelve months. The CEO may, under exceptional circumstances and upon submission of a motivation, approve any repayment period exceeding twelve months”. Consultations with the affected employees were conducted and employees were provided with the opportunity indicate their repayment preferences. Although it was the intention of the RSR to recover such overpayment during the 2017/18 financial year, with effect from September 2017 salary payments, certain RSR employees opted to repay their respective debt amount over a 12-month period, whilst permission was granted to 2 employees to exceed the twelve-month provision.
(a)(ii) No overpayments since April 2018 have occurred.
The Table below indicates the amounts which were recovered, as well as the period for such recovery. All monies have been recovered, and no interest was charged or paid.
