(1)(a)(ii) The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) participated in the development of the Integrated Public Transport Network Plan for the City of Cape Town. The role of rail, including the future rail corridors, are contained in the plan. These deliberations took place through project specific meetings at the time and continues to be discussed, among other matters, at the formal transport planning structures of the City, i.e. the Intermodal Planning Committee (IPC) and associated Sub-Committees. The previous two IPC meetings were held on 13 April 2018 and 22 June 2018 subsequently.

(1)(b) The PRASA and Metrorail members of the IPC meeting are :

• Mr Hishaam Emeran, PRASA Corporate Office, General Manager: Strategic Network Planning
• Mr Richard Walker, Metrorail – Western Cape, Regional Manager

(1)(c) All known future rail expansion opportunities have been discussed between the City and PRASA during its interactions. The highest priority in terms of rail network/ service expansion has been agreed as follows:

• Blue Downs Rail Link
• Fisantekraal Rail Corridor
• Atlantis Rail Corridor

(1)(d)(i) Yes, referred to as the Blue Downs Rail Link, see (1)(c). Detailed discussions between the City and PRASA is ongoing, as this project is due to commence with the preliminary design and environmental assessment phase as the next step.

(1)(d)(ii) Yes, The Cape Town Airport Rail Link is captured in the Memorandum of Action agreement between the City and PRASA. It has been agreed that the parties work together to explore alternative financial models for projects such as this one.

(1)(d)(iii) Yes, see (1)(c)

(1)(d)(iv) Existing services are provided to Paarl, Wellington and Worcester. The future plans will include measures aimed at improving travel time and frequencies along these corridors once the train fleet has increased and stabilised.

(2) As alluded to above, discussions on future rail planning is ongoing between the City and PRASA through the IPC structures and / or project specific committees. The last IPC meeting was scheduled for the 22 June 2018.

1. A rail service between East London and Mthatha, known as the Kei Rail service, was provided in the past. The service has been stopped as it was unsustainable. The patronage was very low for a rail service and the travel time exceedingly long due to the terrain and rail geometry. The journey by rail was approximately 12 hours as compared to 3 hours by road.

Subsequently, in 2013 The Eastern Cape Department of Transport further investigated the feasibility of the Kei Rail service and confirmed that in its current state it was not economically viable as a stand alone passenger service. Other road based public transport modes were found to be more economically viable. The railway line is currently owned by Transnet and the provision of a passenger rail service for socio-economic reasons was always considered a possibility on the basis of having a sustainable freight service to offset the costs. Unfortunately, sustainbale freight operations on this corridor has not yet materialised.

There are no plans at this point in time to reintroduce the service.

2. See above

3. Current studies undertaken suggest little justification for investment at this point in time.

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) currently provides a rail service from Randfontein to Park (Central Johannesburg) Station. An express service, Randfontein Metroplus Express, departs Randfontein at 06h00 in the morning. The Express Service has unfortunately not been operating on a regular basis due to the limited availability of trains. PRASA has however identified the opportunity in the medium term to run faster services from Randfontein to reduce the travelling time to Park Station. This entails running an outer-service from Randfontein to Krugersdorp with limited stops thereafter an inner-service from Krugersdorp stopping at all stations. This will become possible once the train fleet allocation for Gauteng has stabilised and increased.

There are currently no short term plans to extend the service to Carletonville based on the current demand requirements and fleet availability. PRASA is however involved in the update and development of the Integrated Transport Plans and transport demand model for the West Rand and will update its plans accordingly should future transport demand warrant a rail service.

(a) The Department of Transport is continuously engaging National Treasury, with regard, the need to increase the Budget allocation for Roads Maintenance.

There has been an increase in the budgets for National Roads as indicated in the graph link below.

http://pmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/RNW2183GRAPH.pdf

Fig1 : Funding for National Roads

In the case of Provincial road maintenance, which are funded from their provincial budget allocations, the department shall continue to assist provinces through the Provincial Roads Maintenance Grant (PRMG), with an a estimated budget allocation of R35bn over the current Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).

Province	2018/19 allocations	2019/2020 allocations	2020/2021 allocations
Eastern Cape	1 439 241	1 391 054	1 467 354
Free State	1 299 602	1 235 577	1 303 349
Gauteng	742 521	636 028	670 914
KwaZulu-Natal	1 826 745	1 772 792	1 870 031
Limpopo	1 124 146	1 105 360	1 165 989
Mpumalanga	1 523 757	1 416 386	1 494 075
Northern Cape	1 111 637	1 050 720	1 108 353
North West	960 604	904 230	953 827
Western Cape	1 007 414	911 213	961 194
Unallocated (Performance Component)		1 058 305	1 117 570
Total	11 035 668	11 481 665	12 112 657

Fig2 : Financial Support to Provinces

b) Refer to the Fig 1 and 2 above.

c) The PRMG accounts for roughly half of provincial road maintenance expenditure, with the funds mostly used for routine and periodic maintenance needs. Hence, very limited resources are available to rehabilitate the provincial paved road network unless the PRMG is significantly grown over the medium to long term or provinces allocate a much larger portion of own funds to road maintenance – ideally a combination of both measures.

The magnitude of maintenance backlogs due to lack of funding is such that it is unlikely to be addressed through national transfers and subsidies, especially given the National Treasury’s commitment to fiscal consolidation, which in the continued absence of notable economic growth must be predominantly realised through higher allocations from the provincial treasuries and/or from savings and efficiencies in respective provincial departmental expenditure.

Where the emphasis in the earlier years was more on the existence of infrastructure, at present the emphasis is on network availability and redundancy predominantly. This requires a different asset management approach. Therefore, Road Authorities need to revisit their maintenance strategies by looking at the relationship between infrastructure and mobility, so that the range of optional interventions can be broadened, to extend the lifetime of road assets.

1. (a) The Department of Transport has not entered into such discussions ;

(b) PRASA have met with the KwaZulu-Natal Member of the Executive Council responsible for Transport and the Portfolio Committee on Transport Oversight to provide an update on programmes and initiatives at PRASA. One of the areas covered during these meetings was PRASA’s future rail planning, including the conceptual planning study for the Northern Rail Linkages (inclusive of King Shaka International Airport).

 (i) The dates on which meetings occured were as follows :

KZN MEC for Transport - August 2016

Portfolio Committee – October 2016 and February 2017

(ii) Provincial government

2. (a) A conceptual planning study has been undertaken on potential future rail linkages serving the northern areas, including King Shaka International Airport.

(b) The north coast line, owned by Transnet, is the closest rail line with Tongaat and Nyaninga stations nearest to King Shaka International Airport. In terms of approximate straight line distance between King Shaka International Airport and these stations, the distance is 3km and 5km for Nyaninga and Tongaat stations respectively.

(c) Prices vary in terms of the terrain and engineering solution required. Tunneling and viaduct will be more expensive than at-grade construction. The approximate average cost per kilometre for new line is between R100m – R300m.

3. The conceptual planning study as alluded to above, identified future rail linkages to the northern areas that may be viable in the medium – longer term. It is therefore included as part of PRASA’s longer term rail network expansion plans. Furthermore, the KZN Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs has advertised a tender for the appointment of a service provider to determine the optimal public transport solution link for the King Shaka International Airport. The DoT and PRASA will assume a leadership role should rail be found the optimal solution.

a) The detail design and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) phase is currently underway and it is anticipated that it will be completed by June 2019. The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality will be updating their transport demand model and Integrated Transport Plan for the City. A final decision on preliminary timeframes for construction will be taken once this phase is completed.

Should it be decided to proceed, PRASA will be able to issue the tender for construction in the latter half of 2020 once land acquisition matters have been finalised. Construction could therefore possibly commence during the latter half 2021.

b) A two-year construction programme is envisaged. Based on above timeframe, the construction can be completed towards the end of 2023.

c) Operations could commence early in 2024 once testing and commissioning has been completed.

(a) PRASA does not hire out commuter trains out. Metrorail provides for special trains based on its assessment of opportunities, its responsibilities in terms of public transport/mobility provision for special events or on request by authorities/stakeholders; on condition that trains do not interfere with scheduled trains and PRASA covers costs and/or retain revenues from ticket sales.

For Main Line Passenger Services (MLPS), PRASA makes provision for chartered trains on a request and quotation basis, and where such trains do not interfere with scheduled trains.

(1)(a) Lecturers in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training TVET colleges are on similar salary bands to that of educators in public schools. In 2010, a Collective Agreement to create parity between the salaries of TVET college lecturers and educators in public schools was reached in the Education Labour Relations Council - Further Education and Training College Bargaining Unit (ELRC - FETCBU). The ELRC - FETCBU Collective Agreement 1 of 2010 was implemented in all the public TVET colleges.

(b) The ELRC - FETCBU Collective Agreement 3 of 2013 brought parity in conditions of service between TVET college lecturers and educators in public schools. College-paid lecturers who did not receive benefits such as a pension and medical aid were then offered 37% in lieu of benefits.

The transfer of all TVET college lecturers to the Department on 1 April 2015 further ensured that all lecturers received benefits and moved away from the 37% in lieu of benefits. Where lecturers are alleging to have lesser conditions of service than educators, these are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. In terms of the Continuing Education and Training Act (CET Act) 16 of 2006 as amended, no public TVET college lecturer, either paid through PERSAL or being a college council employee, should be subjected to lesser conditions of service than what is provided in the public service in general.

(c) Lecturers in the public TVET colleges have equal opportunities for promotions like those experienced by educators in public schools. The difference would be in the availability of promotional posts, given the vast number of public schools compared to TVET colleges.

(d) Currently, at a national level, there are no awards for the excellent performance of lecturers. However, at individual TVET college level, some colleges recognise lecturers for excellent performance. The Department is in the process of initiating plans on a national level to recognise excellent performance of lecturers and once finalised; it will be communicated to the TVET colleges and public.

(2)(a) In terms of Section 20(1)(b) of the CET Act 16 of 2006 as amended, college councils can establish additional posts for colleges over and above what the Minister has established. Section 20(4)(c) of the Act also states that the council must remunerate staff from the funds received by the public college in question from other sources than the money received in terms of section 22 of the Act. Further, in terms of Section 20(4)(d) of the Act, a college council must determine the functions, conditions of service and privileges for staff appointed in additional posts.

(b) In terms of Section 20(4)(e) of the CET Act 16 of 2006 as amended, a college council must remunerate staff in additional posts, that is no less than the remuneration paid to staff appointed in terms of the Public Service Act, appointed by the Minister.

College councils are empowered to pay comparable remuneration to retain college lecturers with scarce skills in fields where the remuneration levels of persons with comparable qualifications and practical experience in the private sector are considerably higher than in the public sector. Where such lecturers are not in posts created by the council(s) in terms of Section 20(1)(b), councils may by agreement with the Minister, pay top-up salaries to Ministerial appointed staff who possess such scarce skills to retain them. Processes to review personnel administrative measures suitable to TVET colleges are underway and should pronounce in favour of such eventualities to enhance the retention of lecturers with scarce skills.

(3(a) Currently, TVET college managers like all managers within the public service sign performance agreements with their supervisors annually and they are awarded performance bonuses based on the achievements of agreed upon targets. Lecturers are awarded pay progression based on the Integrated Quality Management System, a performance assessment tool that is largely viewed as having failed to serve its purpose. The process of reviewing the personnel administrative measures for TVET college lecturers will address amongst others, the lecturer performance management and development system, which should have a clear link between their conditions of service and performance.

(b) The review of personnel administrative measures will also consider linking the achievements of learners in external assessments and the performance of lecturers.

1. (a) to (c) Yes, as with persons employed or contracted in the National Treasury, the person has signed various internal memoranda of the National Treasury, all related to her area of work, but such signing was always to make recommendations for the consideration of her manager and ultimately to the Director-General or the Minister, for approval. In order to ensure transparency and accountability, it has been practice in the National Treasury for many years that decisions to be taken in terms of law are supported by written memoranda submitted to the Director-General and, where applicable, also to the Minister. These memoranda are signed by the relevant officials, advisors or contractors asked to comment or make recommendations to the decision-maker. The decision-making within the department vests with the Director-General, and in some instances, the Minister, but in some cases, they have delegated decision-making authority to an official reporting directly to the Director-General.

It will not be cost-effective to examine all memoranda signed by the named person. The named person has provided excellent service, particularly to support the Twin Peaks financial sector regulatory reform related to market conduct and the fair treatment of financial sector customers. If there is any evidence of wrong-doing, the Honorable Member is welcome to submit it to me so that the National Treasury can investigate it.

2. (a) and (b): The person was contracted to act against a chief director position, until such time as a new chief director was appointed. This was in line with the general practice in the National Treasury when some consultants acted against vacant positions. This practice was terminated following a direction by Mr M Gigaba when he was Minister of Finance, which the department then began to implement around October 2017.

I am informed by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) that its former Bank Supervision Department (BSD), which is absorbed into the new Prudential Authority (PA), conducted an onsite inspection in terms of the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) Act at the Bank of Baroda in 2014 and found deficiencies relating to compliance with the FIC Act as well as weaknesses in controls to counter money laundering and terrorist financing. The BSD instructed the Bank of Baroda to remediate the weaknesses found, after which the Bank of Baroda assured the BSD that such compliance deficiencies had been remediated.

BSD conducted a follow-up inspection in 2016 and found that there were still FIC Act compliance deficiencies as well as weaknesses in controls to counter money laundering and terrorist financing.

The SA Reserve Bank is not able to disclose at this stage the specific administrative sanctions it may have recommended, as the process for imposing any administrative sanctions (including whether both parties accept the outcome) has not as yet been completed.

a) The Finance and Accounting Services Sector Education and Training Authority (FASSET) processes payments within 30 days as required in terms of the National Treasury Regulation 8.2.3. Currently, there are no outstanding payments. FASSET uses the reimbursement model for the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Work-Based Experience Project whereby the employer pays a stipend to interns and thereafter submits an invoice together with the following supporting documents to FASSET:

• Monthly report;
• Learner payslip; and
• Proof of payment.

In some cases, employers do not submit all the required documentation on time, which leads to payment delays because FASSET is unable to process an invoice without the accompanying supporting documentation.

b) Not applicable.

c) FASSET is currently reviewing the “reimbursement model” of paying employers who are part of the TVET Work-Based Experience Project as some employers experience cash flow problems when they are required to pay stipends to interns.

I regret to inform the Honourable Member that neither the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development nor the National Prosecuting Authority has the information readily available as requested.

The data on sentencing, which the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has captured through the Integrated Case Management System (ICMS), is only available from 2014.

In addition, the Department has identified issues regarding inaccuracy and incompleteness of data. The Department is in the process of addressing system issues and putting effective mechanisms in place to hold officials that are responsible for data accountable.

No post settlement support was provided by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to the N’wandlamahiri Communal Property Association (CPA); because the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has not received any application for post-settlement support from the CPA. The supports provided by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Provincial Departments of Agriculture are demand driven based on applications for support or referrals from other departments and entities.

a) The Inter-Ministerial Task Team identified 12 municipalities in the North West that were deemed to be under tremendous distressed to be prioritized for dedicated support. The approach of support at these 12 municipalities focuses on the 3 priority areas, namely:

(i) Governance – audit outcomes; unauthorised, irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure; internal control and oversight environment; filling of critical senior managers positions in compliance with regulations, implementation of forensic reports that were conducted also conducting investigations in terms of section 106 of the Municipal Systems Act; strengthen political and administrative interface; quality of political leadership and institutionalisation of the Code of Conduct for Councillors and Officials as provided for in schedule 1 and 2 of the Municipal Systems Act in order to address accountability and consequence management.

(ii) Service delivery – infrastructure planning, delivery and implementation management; priority action plans for Water Services Authority to address operational vulnerabilities including maintenance and refurbishment; resolve roles and responsibilities between district and local municipalities with respect to the water and sanitation function by reviewing the existing Service Level Agreements (SLA); accelerate spending on Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) to improve service delivery.

(iii) Financial management – budget management, cash control, debtor management, revenue enhancement, supply chain management and development of financial recovery plans.

(b) Subsequently, the Minister for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs issued a directive in terms of section 100(1)(a) to the MEC for Local Government and Human Settlement to make corrective measures regarding the weakness and shortcomings of the Department’s failure to approve and implement the organizational structure for the past five year. Due to lack of adequate capacity, the Department had also failed to provide support to the 22 municipalities. This was affirmed by the recent Auditor-General’s reports, that showed that North West province is the third highest amongst provinces with the worst performing municipalities.

As part of implementation of the directive, the MEC for Local Government and Human Settlement, on 12 June 2018, issued a directive to all 22 municipalities in terms of section 139(1)(a) of the Constitution. Mayors were directed to implement and prioritize corrective measures and report to the MEC on monthly basis the following critical areas:

1. Post Audit Action Plans.
2. Appointment of senior managers.
3. Acceleration of spending on infrastructure grants.
4. Development of financial recovery plans,
5. Review bloated municipal organizational structures.
6. Implementation of Back to Basics Support Plans and
7. Improve service delivery to communities to curb service delivery protest.

No, the mandate of the department has not changed.

The mandate of the Waste Management Bureau is outlined in the National Environmental Management Waste Amendment Act, Act 26 of 2014 (NEMWAA). Part 7A, Section 34A of NEMWAA refers to the establishment of the Waste Management Bureau.

Section 34D relates to some of the objects of the Waste Management Bureau as listed below.

“34D. The objects of the Bureau are to—

(a) function as a specialist implementing agent within the Department in respect of matters delegated to the Bureau in terms of this Act;

(b) promote and facilitate minimisation, re-use, recycling and recovery of waste;

The presentation to the committee reflected on a transitional phase in the management of waste tyre operations. It was indicated that National Treasury gave an approval for the appointment of service providers that had been contracted through Recycling & Economic Development Initiative of SA (REDISA) without following an open tender for a maximum period of twelve (12) months.

Contracts were subsequently entered into for 3-12 months period. All contracts are coming to an end on 30 September 2018 and the Bureau is following an open competitive process to ensure continuity and improve the management of waste tyres in South Africa.

(1) (i) Yes, I have been advised that my predecessor was accompanied by a family member between 22 September 2013 and 26 February 2018. This was done in accordance with the Ministerial Handbook: Handbook for Members of the Executive and Presiding Officers. Section 3.1 and 3.2 of the Ministerial Handbook state that, “Members (of the Executive) and their spouses (or an adult family member accompanying the Member in official capacity) are entitled to first class travel for official purposes at the expense of the Department concerned. The costs for official journeys abroad by Members, and their spouses or adult family members accompanying them in official capacity, are for the account of the relevant Department”.

(aa) With respect to the request to provide names, the Honourable Member would recall that there is an established practise applicable to parliamentary questions contained in the document titled, “Guide to Parliamentary Questions in the National Assembly. The document referred to prohibits Members of Parliament, including the Executive, from divulging names of persons, bodies when asking or responding to parliamentary questions. It specifically states the following:

“Questions are to be framed as concisely as possible. All unnecessary adjectives, references and quotations are omitted. Names of persons, bodies and, for example, newspapers are only used in questions if the facts surrounding the case have been proven. As the mere mention of such names could be construed as publicity for or against them, it should be clear that this practice is highly undesirable. If a question will be unintelligible without mentioning such names, the Departments concerned are notified of the name (-s) and this phrase is used: ".......a certain person (name furnished)”

The oil production facility that is anchored in Mossel Bay is owned and managed by PetroSA. The vessel is not an oil drilling rig but an oil production facility, called the Orca. The facility resembles an oil drilling rig because it was converted from an oil drilling rig to become an oil production facility. The monthly costs to maintain the ORCA in its current location is approximately R2 million.

The question was referred to the Electoral Commission which responded as follows:

1. A hitherto unknown complainant filed a complaint with the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigations (DPCI). The Commission became aware that a complaint had been lodged whilst it was still considering the report of the Public Protector and when some of its officials were being interviewed as part of the DPCI investigation.

2. Having noted that a complaint had already been laid and that an investigation was already under way, the Commission regarded the reporting required under section 34 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act (POCCA), Act 12 of 2004 as no longer needing its further consideration as the investigation in terms of section 22 of the POCCA Act had already commenced.
