According to the information received from the City of Johannesburg, municipal water pipelines do intersect with the Sasol gas lines:

(a) Within the Nasrec precinct; and

(b) In other locations next to the FNB Stadium.

(i) The only possible consequence, because of intersecting municipal water pipelines and Sasol gas lines, would occur when maintenance and/or construction occurs where there is a possibility of damage to the other pipeline, which would require repairs. The City of Johannesburg has its own gas mains and is therefore knowledgeable about what needs to be done in the case of an accident.

(ii) Yes, the intersection can, to a minimal extent, cause an unsafe environment in the event of an accident. The City of Johannesburg has assured COGTA that it would know what to do in the case of an accident.

(iii) The two organizations will exchange as-built drawings indicating where their pipelines are.

SARS

SARS Fraud Investigations reply:

• Fraud Investigations record-keeping does not distinguish between SAPS and DPCI – both are recorded as referred to “SAPS”.

• Investigators of SARS Fraud Investigations constantly monitor the progress of all criminal cases referred by the unit to the SAPS.

• Cases in the below table do not necessarily exceed the R100 000 provision. Corruption-related cases are referred to the SAPS based on merit - even if it doesn’t exceed R100 000.

• Data for corruption-related cases referred by SARS Fraud Investigations and convictions are only available from the 2012/13 Financial Year (FY):

I refer the Honorable Member to the response submitted to Parliament on the 24 May 2018, to a very similar question posed by Honorable Shivambu, to Question Number:168 [NW175E] first published on the same date as your question on 8 February 2018.

It should be noted that your question is very wide and assumes that there is a simple way to classify research. The nature of National Treasury’s work is generally research-driven, and ranges from technical support, desk-top research, policy research and formal academic research. Some research is general in nature or, as determined by research institutions, and funding, may be up-front and specific or in the form of a subsidy towards a project, or specifically commissioned if and when the need arises. It is, therefore, not possible to provide a simple attachment of all research commissioned by the National Treasury given that some of the research is conducted internally (as part of the routine work) and other forms of research are conducted externally (by universities or research institutions or consultants commissioned to do so).

Some research leads to a specific output (e.g. research on climate-change or employment tax incentive) and some research may be on-going, involving many months of engagement between the department and specific researchers, where a specific output may take many years (e.g. research on growth or employment-generation) before any final output. Whilst most research is ultimately published as a paper, either directly by National Treasury (e.g. of the employment tax incentive) or by the research institutions themselves (e.g. researchers funded by ERSA), some research projects may take a long time to complete or publish.

The upfront allocations to research institutions like ERSA and UN Wider are published in Budget documents like the Budget Review and Estimates of Expenditure, and actual spending figures are noted in the Annual Report of the National Treasury.

(1) In line with the Public Investment Corporation’s investment and due diligence processes, the Chief Executive Officer and other members of staff frequently meet with representatives of investee companies. Therefore, meetings were conducted between representatives of the PIC and Dr Iqbal Survé and other representatives of Independent News and Media South Africa (INMSA). The details of these meetings, however, are confidential.

(2) The PIC was approached to invest in Sagarmatha Technologies Limited but, following a thorough due diligence process, the PIC resolved not to invest in Sagarmatha Technologies Limited.

1. (a) On 1 April 2018, when all members of the TMT were appointed. Note that all appointments are only for a limited period, specified in the Regulations as three months after a new Commissioner is appointed, which is expected to be within six months of the date of establishment of the Financial Sector Conduct Authority.

(b) The person was appointed in terms of section 3(1)(b)(iii) of the Regulations published in terms of Financial Sector Regulation Act No 9 of 2017, and Gazetted in Gazette No. 10814 on 29 March 2018. The role of the Minister is as outlined in the Regulations which is to nominate a suitable person.

2. (a) No. The TMT is merely a temporary arrangement pending the appointment of a full-time Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners of the FSCA. The process to appoint the full-time Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners includes an advert calling for applications. The advert was first published on the Treasury website and in selected print newspapers on 8 April 2018. The process for appointing the TMT is specified in Regulations published in terms of Financial Sector Regulation Act No 9 of 2017 and Gazetted in Gazette No. 10814 on 29 March 2018.

(b) The Minister generally seeks the advice of his officials, and in this case, approved the recommendation made by the Director-General of the National Treasury. The recommendation was made based on the person’s extensive involvement in the Twin Peaks reform process, including in developing a draft market conduct policy framework as per the discussion document published in 2014, and in the development of the Financial Sector Regulation Act over the time period 2013 to enactment in 2017.

(3) (a) and (b) Similar information was asked of the Minister of Finance by the EFF in Parliamentary Question NW 168, a comprehensive response was provided. The specified person was first appointed as a Specialist Consultant in Financial Sector Policy on 1 August 2011 for a contract period of 12 months with the option to extend the contract if required. The consultant had previously worked at NT as an employee within the financial sector policy chief directorate prior to this appointment. The contract primarily related to the repeal and replacement of the Securities Services Act and promulgation of new Financial Markets Act and revision of Regulation 28 of Pension Funds Act. Due to extended parliamentary process a two-month contract extension was approved with no additional fees being paid. This process followed all the supply chain rules for a single source technical assistance contracting process.

(4) (a) No, the first contract (as described above) was not renewed. The consultant was subsequently appointed through a new contract from 1 March 2013, over two periods of 24 months each, to establish a policy and legal framework for the new Twin Peaks model, focusing on the policy framework for the coming market conduct regulator, especially to treat financial customers more fairly. This contract was extended by a final 12-month period up to the 31 March 2018, augmented by additional services required, as the Twin Peaks legislation took longer than anticipated to be processed in Parliament. These additional services included but were not limited to the finalisation of a national financial inclusion education policy and monitoring the over-indebtedness project. This process followed all the supply chain rules for a single source technical assistance contracting process. The successive contracts were due to delays in processes, including parliamentary processes to approve the Financial Sector Regulation Bill.

(b) and (c) She has been paid in accordance with DPSA rates for this type of work and at the work level. It should be noted that this approach was significantly more cost efficient than hiring an external consultancy company to do the necessary research, and support the department during the parliamentary process to approve the bill.

(1) At the outset it should be stated that the amount that was borrowed to Eskom is not R50 billion. The PIC advanced a loan of R5 billion to Eskom because it was within the PIC’s client mandate. The existence of a guarantee by the South African Government on the bridging facility was an overriding factor in the wake of Eskom credit rating downgrades. See further detail under item 2 below.

(2) The investment was duly considered in terms of the Mandate of the Client as well as the PIC’s Investment Policy and Delegation of Authority, and is justifiable on the following grounds:

Character of the loan

The loan to Eskom was in the form of short-term bridging facility for one month. The pricing on the facility was relatively attractive at Jibar plus 75 basis points, translating to 7.65% for a period of one month. Over and above this, there was an undertaking from the government of South Africa to provide a guarantee on the loan facility. The borrower had provided satisfactory evidence that Eskom had secured financial commitments to meet all of the borrower’s funding requirements up to March 2019. It is important to note that Eskom paid the principal amount of R5 billion in full plus the interest amount on 28 February 2018.

Governance

In approving the loan facility, the PIC also took comfort from the fact that National Treasury, the Department of Public Enterprises and Eskom jointly developed a going-concern plan, seeking to address the challenges faced by Eskom. There was also confirmation that all required approvals had been obtained for Eskom to appoint a permanent Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

(3) No. The PIC issued a joint statement with the Government Employees Pension Fund to announce the decision to advance the R5 billion loan to Eskom. The repayment of the loan was also widely covered by the media.

(1). 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 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;

(d) monitor implementation of industry waste management plans and the impact of incentives and disincentives;

(e) progressively build capacity within the Bureau to provide specialist support for the development and implementation of municipal waste management plans and capacity building programmes; and

(f) support and advise on the development of waste management plans, tools, instruments, processes, systems, norms, standards and municipal waste management plans and capacity building programmes.”

Section 34E relates to the functions of the Waste Management Bureau and is listed below.

“34E. (1) The Bureau must—

(a) implement the disbursement of incentives and funds derived from waste management charges contemplated in sections 13B and 34D;

(b) identify and promote best practices in the minimisation, re-use, recycling or recovery of waste;

(c) progressively build capacity of the Bureau to support municipalities in the development and implementation of integrated waste management plans and capacity building programmes;

(d) support and advise on the development of industry waste management plans, integrated waste management plans and other tools, instruments, processes and systems, including specialist support for the development of norms or standards for the minimisation, re-use, recycling or recovery of waste and the building of municipal waste management capacity;

(e) monitor the implementation of industry waste management plans;

(f) monitor and evaluate the impact of incentives and disincentives; and

(g) perform any other task or function that the Minister may assign or delegate to the Bureau in relation to the implementation of this Act.

(2) The Bureau may—

(a) invest any of its money, after having complied with section 34F(2); and

(b) charge fees for services rendered, other than services rendered in terms of section 13A or to the Minister or the Department.”

(2) The Bureau will manage operations of the tyre industry until there is a new industry waste tyre management plan approved by the Minister. The Bureau will also be monitoring implementation of various other industry plans that the Minister will be approving in due course. The Minister has already called for three industry plans to be implemented in the short to medium term once approved. There will be many other plans that the Minister may approve in future and the Bureau will monitor implementation of all these plans.

The Waste Bureau has to issue new tenders for storage and preprocessing facilities because most of the contracts with current owners are expiring on 30 September 2018 and cannot be extended further due to the fact that National Treasury only permitted the contracts to be for a maximum period of
12 months, which 12-month period now expires on 30 September 2018.

a) There is no policy that has been put in place to preclude members of the History Ministerial Task Team who contributed to the decision to make history a compulsory subject for high school learners from benefiting financially in any way from the production of textbooks and any other relevant teaching material for the subject.

There is no decision that has been taken by the Minister of Basic Education or any other person regarding the teaching of compulsory History in Grades 10-12. The MTT only recommended that there is a possibility of teaching compulsory History in the FET band provided that there is proper planning by DBE as well as considering issues such as the financial implications, teacher provisioning and training. The DBE is planning to make wider public consultations regarding the recommendations by the MTT before such a decision can be taken.

However there is a policy outlining the Terms of Reference for any publisher to submit material for evaluation and catalogue of core textbooks in the Department of Basic Education. The DBE requests publishers to submit material for evaluation purposes and these materials have to cover the entire curriculum for the whole year, as outlined in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) of a specific subject.

DBE publishes an Invitation and Terms of Reference (TOR) which outlines the process for submissions. This TOR also informs tenderers of subjects and grades for which submissions are invited and dates as well as other important issues that publishers must comply with, in order for their submissions to be considered.

The DBE is responsible for the development of the national catalogue which is forwarded to provinces, districts and schools. The provinces are responsible for procurement and delivery of books to schools.

Notices regarding submissions of LTSM are advertised on the DBE website www.ltsm.doe.gov.za.

The reason why the MTT members are not precluded, it is because the DBE does not enter into agreement with individual authors but with publishers for the submission of material to be included in the National Catalogue for Grades 10 – 12 core textbooks. Although the DBE approves material to be on the catalogue it does not guarantee their purchase.

Furthermore, submission by a publisher does not guarantee that the material will be successful to be included on the DBE catalogue. The material goes through a rigorous process by a panel of teachers, subject advisers and members of Higher Education Institutions from various provinces. They are selected on the basis of their subject knowledge, expertise and experience in the specific subject. Hence the screening process is regarded as transparent, reliable and credible because it is guided by the five pillars from the National treasury: value for money, open and effective competition, ethics and fair dealings, accountability and reporting, and equity.

b) There is no policy that has been put in place to ensure that any other person who contributed to the decision to make history a compulsory subject for high school learners precluded from benefiting financially in any way from the production of textbooks and any other relevant teaching material for the subject.

The same reasons provided in answer (a) apply in this case as well.

Recycling as % waste tyres arising (excl exports)	21,5%	14,9%
Recycling as % waste tyres arising (incl exports)	22,5%	22,2%

(b) As shown in (a) above, the recycling rate as % of waste tyres arising is 21.5%. The recycling rate is 22% for both the Waste Bureau and Redisa if exports are included.

(c) The stockpiles created by Redisa as well as waste tyres collected from collection points are sorted and pre-processed at depots prior to being delivered to processors and/or secondary industries. The Waste Bureau is gradually increasing its OTR pre-processing capability by incrementally procuring pre-processing equipment as well exploring markets for the pre-processed OTR material. These efforts will then enable the Bureau to address the post levy stockpiles. Stockpiles which do not fall within the category above (Historical waste tyre stockpiles), are dealt with in terms of Regulations 7, 8 and 9 of the Waste Tyre Regulations of 2017. Owners of Historical waste tyre stockpiles are expected to register with the Minister as well as submit abatement plans to the Minister for approval.

(d) 874 tons of OTR were recycled during the period from Oct 2017 to March 2018.
