2. Yes, Eskom was involved in the following actions:

Various payment arrangements were signed by these municipalities over time, but they were not fully honoured.

Eskom, with the intervention of national and provincial government (Treasury and CoGTA) have engaged municipalities in order to agree on realistic payment plans.

Promotion of Administration Justice Act (PAJA) was initiated against the three municipalities in question at different time periods.

Thabazimbi Municipality entered into several payment arrangements and none were honoured (April 2015, March 2017). Electricity supply was interrupted during October 2017 and November 2017. The municipality has subsequently signed a new payment arrangement with Eskom in December 2017 and it is being honoured monthly.

The municipality is busy with a project of installing smart metering in its residential areas although it is getting resistance from some customers. Upon finalisation of the project, the

smart metering initiative should assist the municipality with its revenue collection efforts.

Modimolle and Mookgophong Municipalities signed payment arrangements with Eskom in November 2016 and they were not honoured. Thereafter, they signed new payment arrangements in March 2017 and these were also not honoured. PAJA was initiated in November 2017 and the process was suspended after the municipalities entered into new payment arrangements that were signed in November 2017.

They have subsequently failed to honour their agreements and the electricity bulk supplies to the two municipalities are scheduled to be interrupted from 31 March 2018 as published.

3. Eskom has not written off any municipal debt in any of the abovementioned financial periods.

Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs

(a) How sustainable are the remuneration changes to the participants of the Waste Bureau network into the future, (b) what plans has the Waste Management Bureau put in place to deal with the off-the-road waste tyre backlog and collections and (c) will she provide Mr T Z Hadebe with a full and detailed list of all legal tyre depots in the country?

Source
Link

Reply:

(a) The sustainability of the remuneration to participants is dependent on budget allocation.

(b) Redisa did not adequately address the recycling of waste tyres. 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 as 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.

(c) The Bureau has lease agreements in place with the depots in the attached list.

Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs

What are the time frames for the appointment of industry managers to take over contracts entered into by the Waste Bureau?

Source

Reply:

The process associated with the time-frames for possible take-over of contracts will depend on my decision as the Minister, relating to the submitted plan/s, once the current process is complete.

The approval and/or rejection of Industry Waste Management Plans is regulated by section 32(1) of National Environment Management: Waste Act (Act no 59 of 2008) as amended. The Department is currently consolidating the comments received and as the Minister I will consider the four (4) tyre Industry Waste Management Plans received in terms of section 28(1) terms of section 28(2) or 29(2), and may:

a) approve the plan in writing, with any amendments or conditions, and give directions for the implementation of the plan;

b) require additional information to be furnished and a revised plan to be submitted within timeframes specified by the Minister for approval;

c) require amendments to be made to the plan within timeframes specified by the Minister; or

d) reject the plan with reasons if it does not comply with the requirements of a notice in terms of section 28(1).

The final decision will be issued and communicated in terms of section 32(6), which requires that such notice be given in the Government Gazette.

Mokoena, Mr L to ask the Minister of Economic Development

What has he found to be the impact of petrol price increases on the economy?

Source
Link

Reply:

Changes in the prices of petrol, diesel and other fuels are published by the Central Energy Fund on their website: http://www.cefgroup.co.za/petrol-price/.

As of 6 June 2018, the price of both grades of Petrol (i.e. unleaded and lead replacement) has increased by 82 cents per litre.

The change in the price of petrol is typically a function of both changes in international exchange rates (particularly the US Dollar-Rand exchange rate) and the change in international product prices (particularly crude oil).

For June 2018, the depreciation of the rand contributed roughly 30 cents of the increase in the price of petrol, while changes in the price of international product contributed roughly 52 cents to the increase. As an oil importing country, South Africa is unavoidably vulnerable to changes in international markets.

According to Stats SA, the price of fuel for consumers increased by 3.6% between April and May 2018, and 9.4% over the 12 months to May 2018. This is in line with petrol price inflation over the period since 2010.

This is expected to have both a short-term direct impact on inflation, and a long-term indirect impact on inflation. A study by the South African Reserve Bank, published in the Journal of Energy in Southern Africa in February 2017, found that a 10% year-on-year increase in the price of petrol resulted in a 1.2 percentage point increase in headline inflation across the economy over the long-run.

The cost of fuel has an important impact on overall inflation in the economy. These effects are both direct and indirect. Higher petrol prices directly impact the consumer in terms of higher fuel costs and higher public transportation costs. Higher petrol prices indirectly impact consumers, as an input cost, which will ultimately increase the cost for goods and services rendered.

Fuel prices also impact on the cost of production. The impact varies by sector. In a reply provided to parliament to a similar question, my colleague the Minister of Trade and Industry, discusses the direct and indirect impact on the manufacturing sector and current efforts to diversify sources of energy.

Fuel price inflation is challenging to manage, given that South Africa imports the bulk of its fuel and is therefore subject to changes in international market prices.

Fuel levies are applied to the price of fuel, and are used to raise funding for transport infrastructure. This investment in transport infrastructure reduces transport costs in the economy, which in turn enables more economic participation by businesses as well as households and in turn can moderate overall inflation.

Finally, it should be noted that according to an independent tracking service (www.globalpetrolprices.com), the price of petrol in South Africa at the pump is in line with the global average, and amongst the lowest when compared to non-oil-producing countries.

All health facilities including hospitals and clinics in the country do have water supply services. However, like any other services there might be interruptions from time to time for various reasons such as breakdowns, drought, etc. in such cases temporary supply services, i.e water cartage takes place to remedy the emergency situation. Depending on the geographical location of the facilities, local authorities like municipalities do assist in emergency cases. Since such activities are at operational level for a short span of time, it is not necessary to keep detailed recording of these activities at the National Department of Health.

Did certain persons (names furnished) declare that they were directors in certain companies (details furnished), all of which had their bids accepted as part of the most recently signed Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme agreements; if so, on what basis was this approved?

Source
Link

Reply:

Projects are not evaluated on the directorship of participating companies but rather on the shareholding of each project company to ensure that the bid criteria in respect of South African Entity and Black ownership participation are met. Thus the persons (names furnished) were not required to declare directorship.

All bidders are bound by rules against collusion which may result in disqualification. The commonality in directorship in the specified project companies refer to a group of companies with the same shareholding structure. Thus, collusion with another bidding group or developer is not relevant. The individual bids by the named project companies competed with multiple other bids in respect of the unique offering of each underlying project, in terms of a combination of factors that inform their pricing, for example location, size of plant and technology.

Reply:

All health facilities including hospitals and clinics in the country do have water supply services. However, like any other services there might be interruptions from time to time for various reasons such as breakdowns, drought, etc. in such cases temporary supply services, i.e water cartage takes place to remedy the emergency situation. Depending on the geographical location of the facilities, local authorities like municipalities do assist in emergency cases. Since such activities are at operational level for a short span of time, it is not necessary to keep detailed recording of these activities at the National Department of Health.

I am not clear as to what the Honourable Member means by a medical machine. Perhaps if the Honourable Member is specific then I would be able to help.

Mulaudzi, Adv TE to ask the Minister of Energy

Did certain persons (names furnished) declare that they were directors in certain companies (details furnished), all of which had their bids accepted as part of the most recently signed Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme agreements; if so, on what basis was this approved?

Source

Reply:

Projects are not evaluated on the directorship of participating companies but rather on the shareholding of each project company to ensure that the bid criteria in respect of South African Entity and Black ownership participation are met. Thus the persons (names furnished) were not required to declare directorship.

All bidders are bound by rules against collusion which may result in disqualification. The commonality in directorship in the specified project companies refer to a group of companies with the same shareholding structure. Thus, collusion with another bidding group or developer is not relevant. The individual bids by the named project companies competed with multiple other bids in respect of the unique offering of each underlying project, in terms of a combination of factors that inform their pricing, for example location, size of plant and technology.

(a) Please refer to Annexure A.

(b) The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR), is leading the implementation of the Agri-parks programme, which aims on transforming the rural economy through agricultural production and processing in the rural areas. Central to the Agri-parks programme is the establishment of Farmer Production Support Units (FPSUs), which are the first line of contact for farmers. Fully equipped mechanization centres are a main feature of the FPSUs.

In relation to the mechanization centres, government provides the equipment and machinery for the benefit of all surrounding farmers for their mechanization requirements. DRDLR has identified FPSUs in all local municipalities in the Eastern Cape, and out of the identified FPSUs in the Province, each district had to select the two prioritised FPSUs per district. The equipment is delivered at strategic points to enhance the production in support of the Agri-parks programme. Areas that have been identified for beneficiation were selected based on their active involvement in agricultural primary production. Benefiting farmers are ranging from communal, subsistence and small holder farmers mainly in the Sarah Baartman District.

Tshwaku, Mr M to ask the Minister of Energy

Did certain persons (names furnished) declare that they were directors in certain companies (details furnished), all of which had their bids accepted as part of the most recently signed Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme agreements; if so, on what basis was this approved?

Reply:

Projects are not evaluated on the directorship of participating companies but rather on the shareholding of each project company to ensure that the bid criteria in respect of South African Entity and Black ownership participation are met. Thus the persons (names furnished) were not required to declare directorship.

All bidders are bound by rules against collusion which may result in disqualification. The commonality in directorship in the specified project companies refer to a group of companies with the same shareholding structure. Thus, collusion with another bidding group or developer is not relevant. The individual bids by the named project companies competed with multiple other bids in respect of the unique offering of each underlying project, in terms of a combination of factors that inform their pricing, for example location, size of plant and technology.

Reply:

All health facilities including hospitals and clinics in the country do have electricity supply system except for those that are listed in the attached Annexure 1. However, like any other services when there are interruptions from time to time for various reasons such as system breakdowns, etc. standby generator(s) of the facility kicks in and allow the operation of the facilities to continue. All hospitals do have backup generators and those Primary Health Care facilities that do not have backup generators are as reflected in Annexure 1. Since power interruptions are at operational level for a short span of time, it is not necessary to keep detailed recording of these activities at the National Department of Health.

(a) What is the cost of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programmes to the economy and (b) how was this determined?

Source

Reply:

A) The impact of the REIPPPP on the South African economy is not about costs, but rather about benefits. The highly competitive procurement conditions of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPPP), combined with excellent domestic natural resource potential, policy support and technological progress has resulted in rapid cost reductions and competitiveness of renewable energy technologies.

The South African government established the REIPPPP in 2010 as an urgent intervention to support the transition to a low-carbon economy, enhance and diversify South Africa’s electrical power generation capacity and accelerate private-sector participation in the energy industry through a competitive bidding process. The programme design, implementation and operational requirements further makes significant contributions to broader national economic development objectives, such as job creation, social upliftment, enterprise development, increasing economic ownership opportunities for black people, foreign direct investment, technological progress, climate change mitigation, alleviating pressure on the fiscus and lower electricity costs.
