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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

QUESTION (1)

What is the total number of incidents of sexual harassment that were reported to the human resources offices of entities reporting to him in;

QUESTION (1)	Agrément South Africa (ASA)	Council for the Built Environment (CBE)	Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB)	Independent Development Trust (IDT)
(a) (i) 2016	None	None	None	None
(a) (ii) 2017	None	None	One	One
(b) What are the details of each incident that took place?	Not applicable	Not applicable	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.

The Member may be aware that key contributing factors to the local fuel price is the performance of the rand versus leading currencies, as well as the international cost of petroleum. We have advised motorists to avoid unnecessary journeys, make use of car-pooling, and practice economical driving techniques.

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.

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.

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.

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.
