Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
(a) Whether he has been informed of the 12 Transnet Employees at the Ngqura Container Terminal in Port Elizabeth (names furnished), who were unfairly dismissed after lodging grievances against their supervisor (name furnished), who had continuously victimised and abused them racially; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what has he done to ensure that (a) the 12 former employees get re-employed, (b) the grievances were investigated and (c) unfair dismissal investigated?
Reply:
This response is according to information received from Transnet:
(a) The 12 Employees who were dismissed were charged with insubordination, underwent formal disciplinary process, were found guilty and dismissed. At no point were victimization and racism cited during their disciplinary process. The matter followed proper employment law processes and has even been referred to the labour court.
(b) There is currently no suggestion that the employees were unfairly dismissed and at all appeal processed outside the Company, the Company decision has been upheld.
(c) At all material times, the employees have appealed for re-employment but at no time have they ever raised allegations of victimization or racial abuse as reason for dismissal.

Esterhuizen, Mr JA to ask the Minister of Economic Development
What (a) is the rationale behind Government’s imposition of import duties on imported steel and (b) has he found to be the impact of the import duties on the amount of steel that was imported in the (i) 2016-17 and (ii) 2017-18 financial years?
Reply:
a) The rationale behind Government’s imposition of import duties on imported steel was to protect local steel manufacturing capacity from the surge of imports resulting from the global oversupply of steel.
South Africa is the only African country with this manufacturing capability and the steel industry is strategic to the country, given its linkages with other sectors of the economy.
The extremely low-priced imports of primary steel products originating mainly from Asia were harming local steel producers, as demonstrated by declining market shares, reduction in sales and production volumes, low capacity utilisation, declining employment and investments. The local producers were in a deteriorating competitive position in part attributable to escalating costs. Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium Ltd, the sole domestic manufacturer of heavy structural steel, ceased manufacturing and filed for business rescue. When industry applied to the State for assistance, Government considered the application and approved a request for increased import duties.
In the case of the largest steel producer, government placed a reciprocal commitment on the company to increase its level of capital spending in order to improve its overall competitiveness; and the company agreed to save jobs that would otherwise have been lost as a result of retrenchments.
b) The overall impact of duties on the amount of steel imported into the domestic industry has been positive between the 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial years. This is evident from the decline in import volumes of flat and long steel products over the periods mentioned (see below table). However, imports of certain coated flat steel (galvanised) products are showing an increasing trend. This may be due to the importation of niche products and ultra-thin galvanised flat products which are not locally manufactured or they may reflect in part a circumvention of duties by importers. ITAC has been requested to monitor this and to take appropriate steps where warranted.

Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Energy
With reference to his statement on 1 June 2018 in which he stated that the two coal Independent Power Producers (IPPs) would give rise to at least 5 000 jobs during construction (details furnished), (a) where did he obtain this figure and (b) can he verify it, as the figures provided by the coal IPPs are different?
Reply:
In terms of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for coal IPPs, the preferred bidders bid the following in terms of job creation:
Project 1 |
Project 2 |
Total |
|
Jobs during Construction (person years)* |
7 943 |
2 377 |
10 320 |
Jobs during Operations (person years) |
10 678 |
4 626 |
15 304 |
Total jobs in person years |
18 621 |
7 003 |
25 624 |
*(Person years: 1 job = 12 person-months and 1 person-month = 160 working hours)
The quantification of job creation is calculated in terms of the above formula stipulated in the RFP. If one were to assume the Construction period to be 4 years with the Operations period being 30 years, the total direct jobs during Construction would be equivalent to having approximately 2 580 people working for 4 years during Construction and approximately 510 people working for 30 years during Operations. However, since jobs are provided in job years as per the RFP, the figures are likely to be understated given workers who are employed for less than one year, especially during the construction phase.
Furthermore, these job numbers directly associated with the coal IPP plants do not include the indirect jobs created as a result of the new mine which one of the Projects will be dependent on as well as the jobs created in relation to the discard coal supply which the other Project will be utilising. The job numbers further exclude indirect job creation in respect of factors such as manufacturing and limestone supply.

There was a sexual harassment incident wherein a male security officer made allegations against a female employee of CIDB at one of the Provincial Offices. This allegation was not brought to the attention of Human Resources office and the Provincial Manager, but it came about in March 2017 during an investigation on a different matter and upon further engagement with the accuser, he decided not to proceed any further with the allegation. |
The employee (applicant) had alleged that her male colleague had acted inappropriately when he embraced her, and regarded it as an unwelcomed gesture. The matter was dealt with through internal process and the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) as explained in (2), below. |
QUESTION (2)
Was each incident investigated; if not, why not in each case; if so, what were the outcomes of the investigation in each case?
ASA |
CBE |
CIDB |
IDT |
Not Applicable |
Yes, although the employee had decided not to proceed with the claim, CIDB nonetheless appointed an independent investigator to gather all facts and advice management of the most appropriate action to take. Furthermore, CIDB wanted to afford the accused employee the right of response. CIDB would have liked to finalise this matter as timeously as possible had it not been for the prolonged absence due to illness of the accuser. CIDB expects the final report on this matter before the end of July 2018. |
The above-mentioned incident was investigated by the IDT. However, during the investigation the temporary employment contract of the alleged victim came to an end. As a result, the matter was then referred to the CMA because the applicant was no longer an employee of the organisation. In the evidence provided by the alleged perpetrator there was seemingly a misunderstanding of his gesture by the applicant. According to the alleged perpetrator he had got to know that the applicant carried a similar surname to that of his mother and thus, as is normally done in most African cultures, he interpreted it that she was part of his clan or extended relatives. He therefore approached the applicant whilst reciting the clan’s praise names and welcomed her with an embrace. This gesture was unfortunately construed by the applicant as inappropriate and the alleged perpetrator apologised. It was management’s understanding that the matter was resolved when the apology was made. However, when the matter was brought back by the applicant through the CCMA the IDT participated fully in that process with a view to resolve it amicably. Through the counsel of the Commissioner at the CCMA, the parties entered into a settlement agreement where the IDT was directed to pay 6 months’ equivalent of the applicant’s monthly salary. The fact that the alleged perpetrator had taken responsibility, the IDT ordered him pay half of the total 6 months’ pay, while the IDT committed to pay the other portion of the settlement agreement. |

Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Energy
What steps have been or will be taken to address the impact of coal Independent Power Producers (IPPs) on Eskom, in view of the fact that Eskom may 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 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?
Reply:
Eskom is not closing its own coal plants early as a result of offtake requirements of the coal IPPs. Eskom’s policy on the decommissioning of its fleet is informed by an optimal balance of cost efficiencies, reduced capacity and carbon emission considerations. Eskom’s planned decommissioning of the Arnot, Camden, Grootvlei, Hendrina, Komati coal-fired power stations was already projected in the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2010 which indicated that the decommissioned capacity would be replaced by approximately 8 800MW new Coal Generation capacity through Kusile and Medupi. The efficiency of Eskom’s older coal-fired power plants have deteriorated rapidly and these plants cost substantially more to operate, resulting in a spill-over into tariff increases.
Standard impact mitigation measures at a local and regional level can be planned on the basis of Paris Agreement and OECD just transition principles which are largely based on the International Labour Organisation (ILO) just transition guidelines.
Government’s energy policy is, among others, premised on a balanced energy mix recognizing our country’s natural endowment of energy carriers, including coal., Government’s policy also supports techno-economic solutions for power production from environmentally hazardous discard coal stock-piled over years above ground. Notably, one such solution is presented by one of the coal IPP projects as a first of kind in South Africa.
Government’s policy position to reduce carbon emissions as well as continue with the new build coal plants, contained in its 2015 submitted Nationally Determined Contributions, remains unchanged.

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?
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.

Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Public Works
(a) What is the current amount that is outstanding in terms of rental income for each Ministerial residence, (b) which Ministers are in arrears, (c) what is the (i) location and (ii) description of each residence with outstanding rental income, (d) what is the cost of monthly rental of each of the specified residences and (e) what processes have been followed to collect outstanding debt?
Reply:
I appreciate this question from the Honourable Member, as it has brought to my attention a crucial matter regarding the payment of rental costs for Ministerial houses. The officials of the Department of Public Works are currently in the process of verifying the debt owed to the Department with the relevant Ministries. Thus, it would be premature of me to release unverified figures at this stage.
Nevertheless, what is apparent is that there may have been a systemic lapse in terms of the collection of rent from Members of the National Executive, because some amounts are beyond what would be regarded as normal debt (i.e. under 3 months of rental owed).
To this effect I have asked the Departmental officials to reconcile the debt and verify all the amounts owed to the Department of Public Works in respect of Ministerial houses. I have also sought assurance that measures have been undertaken to ensure that rent for Ministerial houses is collected on a monthly basis from all the Ministers and Deputy Ministers who are supposed to be paying that rent.
I can assure the Honourable Member that the Members of the Executive are fully committed to paying their rental costs. What we must ensure is that we address the systemic gap that has caused the debt to escalate for certain Ministerial houses.

Khawula, Ms MS to ask the Minister of Energy
Whether any studies regarding (a) costs and (b) feasibility were conducted before signing any of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP) deals; if not, (i) why not and (ii) on what grounds and basis were the REIPPPs pursued; if so, (aa) was each study published, (bb) who conducted each study, (cc) was a tender issued to conduct each study, (dd) what was the cost of conducting each study, (ee) what is the title of each study and (ff) where are the copies of the studies available?
Reply:
Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) projects are procured and contracted pursuant to Ministerial Determinations issued by the Minister of Energy, in consultation with the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) in terms of Section 34 of the Electricity Regulation Act, No 4 of 2006. Considerations include issues of carbon emission reduction commitments, new technology uncertainties such as costs, operability and lead time to build, water usage, localisation and job creation as well as regional development and integration and security of supply.
Each Independent Power Producer (IPP) participating in the tender process is responsible to undertaking a feasibility of its own project before bid submission to ensure the bankability of the project. At bid submission the IPPs have to comply with various qualification criteria which can only be complied with if they did undertake feasibility studies.

Reply:
(1) No. According to information at our disposal no irregularities were identified and/or discovered during the selection of beneficiaries; as a result the Department has not incurred financial losses in this regard.
(2) The first rental income which the community received every month was R700 000 from 1 December 2013 to end of February 2016. This was a transition period. The total amount received during this period is estimated to be R18 900 000. The amount was R560 000 from 1 March 2016 in line with the lease agreement signed. The total amount received from 1 March 2016 to date is estimated to be R14 300 000. The total rental income received from the first payment to date is estimated to be in the region of R33 200 000. In addition to the rental income the CPA has received dividends in the amount of R12 000 000 in 2017 and subsequent payment of dividends of R10 000 000 in 2018.
(3) The claim was finalised in accordance with section 2 of the Restitution of Land Rights Act, 1994 as well as research conducted which found the claim to be valid.

Ketabahle, Ms V to ask the Minister of Energy
How much less electricity will Eskom be required to produce because of the approval of the bids of Independent Power Producers by his department?
Reply:
Eskom is not required to produce less electricity as a consequence of Independent Power Producers. Eskom’s policy on the decommissioning of its fleet is informed by an optimal balance of cost efficiencies, reduced capacity and carbon emission considerations. Eskom’s planned decommissioning of the Arnot, Camden, Grootvlei, Hendrina, Komati coal-fired power stations was already projected in the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2010 which indicated that the decommissioned capacity would be replaced by approximately 8 800MW new Coal Generation capacity through Kusile and Medupi. The Wind and Solar Photovoltaic technologies introduced through the renewable energy programme do not displace coal-fired power stations as these technologies do not provide base load capacity.

Mashabela, Ms N 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.

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?
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.

Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform
With reference to the statement of the Deputy Minister during the Debate on Vote 24 on 16 May 2018, that the department delivered 62 tractors to the Eastern Cape Province, (a) who was the recipient of each tractor and (b) was it the intention of her department to deliver them to subsistence, communal or small holder farmers?
Reply:
(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.

James, Ms LV to ask the Minister of Health
Whether he has put any mechanisms in place to address the rising number of medical legal claims?
Reply:
Yes.
Medico-legal Workshop
A Medico-legal Workshop was held in Pretoria on the 13th January 2015 to look at medico-legal claims. The workshop looked at the following issues:
- Patient safety;
- The impact of medico-legal litigation on the recruitment of specialists and on access to care in South Africa;
- Management of claims; and
- Ensuring access to justice for patients harmed.
This workshop culminated in the Medico-Legal Summit which was held on 09 -10 March 2015.
Medico-legal Summit
The Medico-Legal Summit was attended by various stakeholders which included medical and legal personnel (public and private sectors); private and public health establishments (hospitals) and the World Health Organisation among others. The Medico-Legal Summit came up with the Medico-Legal Declaration. The Declaration recommended interventions in 3 areas namely: medical (patient safety), administration and legal solutions.
1. Medical Solution (Patient Safety) - This is aimed at reducing the incidences of the negligence, medical malpractice or unethical behaviour and adverse events amongst others.
2. Administrative Solution - This strives to ensure proper record keeping that will minimize the loss or theft of medical records and proper communication with patients and members of the public.
3. Legal Solution - This looks at various legal interventions including but not limited to mediation; contingency fees; the common law rule of “once and for all”; the periodic or staggered payment instead of a lump sum payment.
Medical Solution (Patient Safety)
In implementing the Medical solution (Patient Safety), the following interventions are being implemented:
(a) Ensuring that there is a Patient Experience of Care;
(b) Ensuring that there is Patient Safety Incident and Reporting, Complaints and Compliments Guidelines;
(c) The Office of Health Standards Compliance and the Health Ombud are also critical role players on the compliance with norms and standards for the provision of health services in South Africa;
(d) Ensuring that there are also Committees on Confidential Enquiries into Maternal, Neonatal and Under 5 Deaths; and
Administration
In implementing the Administrative solution, the Department has started with the following interventions:
(a) Improvement of Filing and record systems (from manual record keeping to electronic filling and record keeping);
(b) Patient Record Management;
(c) Patient Registers; and
(d) Health Patient Registration System.
Legal
In implementing the Legal solution, the Department with the assistance of Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is currently busy with the following interventions:
(a) The South African Law Reform Commission (SALRC) under Project 141 – Medico-Legal Claims has undertaken an investigation on various interventions such as mediation; contingency fees; the common law rule of “once and for all”; the periodic or staggered payment instead of a lump sum payment among others. These investigations will lead to legislative reform. In this regard, the SALRC had issued the Issue paper calling for public comments. The closing date was 30 September 2017.
(b) The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is also introducing the State Liability Amendment Bill, 2018 to introduce periodic or staggered payment of claims instead of a lump sum payment. The State Liability Amendment Bill, 2018 is to provide for the periodic payments instead of lump sum as it is currently and the treatment of Medico-Legal claimants to be provided for in the public sector facilities (Hospitals), free of charge.
The National Health Council (“MinMEC”) passed a resolution to standardize the patient admission forms across Provinces to also include language that allow for mediation as the first compulsory step for resolution of Medico-Legal disputes. This is done with the assistance of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (Judge Cassim Sardiwalla and the State Attorney).

Khawula, Ms MS to ask the Minister of Energy
What are the (a) Government and (b) relevant entities projected to spend both directly and indirectly on the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programmes; (2) has he found that the Government and the entities can afford the cost; if so, what are the details of how this was determined?
Reply:
There is no direct or indirect spend by Government or relevant entities exclusively attributable to the Electricity Regulation Act, 2006, Section 34 sanctioned Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPPP). Regulation 10 of the New Generation Regulations enable Eskom, as the single buyer, to recover all costs in respect of the Section 34 Ministerial Determinations and includes payments for the purchase of electricity from Independent Power Producers (IPP) in terms of a power purchase agreement. Eskom only pays for actual electricity evacuated into the grid at a predetermined fixed price that can only escalate by CPI annually.

Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Energy
Whether he is aware of the development fee to be paid by Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to the National Treasury and to his department in order to set up the Project Development Fund for Baseload Coal Energy (details furnished); if so, what is the (a) total amount in Rand of the development fee and (b) breakdown of all costs that (i) have been incurred and (ii) will be incurred by his department for the procurement of energy from IPPs?
Reply:
(A) The development fee of the Baseload Coal Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme has been set in the Request for Proposals (RFP) (December 2015) at 1.75% of the Total Project Value. The development fee is utilised as a cost recovery mechanism for costs incurred in the design, development, procurement and implementation over a 30-year contract term. The exact Rand value of the Development Fee can only be calculated once all the preferred bidders have reached Financial Close.
