1. Neither the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development and the Office of Chief Justice nor related entities such as the National Prosecuting Authority, and Special Investigating Unit own any land. All immovable assets belonging to the State resort under the custodianship of the national Department of Public Works, and is governed by the Government Immovable Asset Management Act, 2007 (Act No 19 of 2007) and the State Land Disposal Act, 1961 (Act No 48 of 1961).

However, I have been informed that Legal Aid South Africa does not own any vacant and unused land but owns seven (7) pieces of land where there are properties that are used as local offices as per my reply to question 988.

1. The Department of Correctional Services and the entities does not own any land. All the land and buildings that the department and these entities are using belongs to the National Department of Public Works, as the custodian of all state immovable assets.

H&M is reportedly the world’s second largest clothing retailer, with stores ion a number of countries, including in South Africa. Earlier this year, the company featured an advert of a black child wearing a sweatshirt with the words “coolest monkey in the jungle” etched on the front.

The company was widely criticized for insensitivity and some responded with outrage. The company issued a public apology and hired a diversity leader to strengthen company sensitivities.

It had been known for some time that the company has not used South Africa as a source for the manufacture of clothing. EDD reached out to the company to draw to their attention to the fact that the African continent is not purely a consumer market for goods but also a source of clothing and textiles. The Swedish ambassador also facilitated discussions between the company and government as well as NGOs.

During the discussions, it was acknowledged that every single item in a H&M store from assets, stock in trade and consumables is imported. The Department and some of the NGOs pointed out that a full and complete mea culpa would preferably include using South Africa as a source for clothing and other consumables, which would create local jobs and help to bring down levels of unemployment in the country.

Government is encouraging a number of retailers to localize more of their sourcing as a means of creating local jobs and some retailers have already responded positively, as reported to Parliament on more than one occasion, with positive results for the country.

H&M acknowledged it had not previously considered South Africa as a sourcing market and undertook to send a technical delegation to South Africa to identify local capacity. EDD arranged a meeting between H&M and a retailer who had invested in local sourcing to show the opportunities in local industry. EDD arranged for H&M to visit a number of factories in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban in late May 2018.

We are engaging the company further and look forward to a positive response based responsible corporate sourcing that creates manufacturing jobs in South Africa.

(1)	(a)	The response to the PQ that I have received from the CEO of Alexkor, Mr Lemogang Pitso, is that he attended the said weddings while he was in the employ of Hernic Ferrochrome (Pty) Ltd. Mr Pitsoe was representing Mr Johan Swanepoel, who is the CEO of Hernic, who could not attend due to unforeseen circumstances.
	(b)	As per 1(a) above.
(2)	(a)	The position was advertised in the Sunday Times on 26 February 2017. A panel was established comprising of board members to interview the short listed candidates. The preferred candidates were then put through a set of psychometric tests. This was done in line with Alexkor’s recruitment and selection policy.

(3)	Yes. Mr Pitsoe was employed at Hernic (Pty Ltd as a General Manager. Hernic and JIC Mining had a customer-supplier relationship, where HIC was a mining contractor to Hernic. The information was not disclosed as it was not requested either in the job application forms of the interview. It can be recalled that Hernic and JIC are private companies and did not have a relationship with DPE’s SOCs. We will be looking into these matters more closely in the coming weeks.

As indicated in Parliament, I have met with both the Minister of Public Enterprises and the Minister of Transport to raise concerns regarding local procurement and to advise of the availability of local production capacity. Both Ministers support the drive to localize production of rolling stock and components.

The Honourable Member will be aware that changes have been effected recently to the boards of both affected State-owned Companies, namely Transnet and PRASA.

Further announcements will be made when additional developments occur or policy pronouncements are made.

This response is according to information received from Transnet:

1. Transnet SOC Ltd (Transnet) has electric locomotives (9E electric) fleet which used to operate on the Ore Line (Sishen-Saldanha). These 9E locomotives were unique to the Sishen-Saldanha line and were not to be used elsewhere in Africa.

The first of these old locomotives arrived in 1978. These locomotives reached the end of life six (6) years ago and the last ten (10) locomotives were eventually staged in 2016 and have not been operating since then, as their components were obsolete and were uneconomical to maintain. Any remaining parts were subsequently sold off.

They were subsequently replaced with 15E locomotives, the first of which arrived in 2010.

(2) This is an operational decision within the powers of Transnet management under the supervision of the Board of Directors. There is also a Significance Materiality Framework which gives guidance and thresholds on such matters.

(3) The Minister is on record that the contract will be investigated. If foul play is established, appropriate action will be taken. To date two forensic reports are available. The new Board of Transnet is discussing these reports and will soon be announcing its plans to act on all those guilty of corruption or any other malpractices.

(1)(a)(b) The South African Police Service (SAPS), achieved a submission rate of 99,45% (909 out of 914), for Senior Management Service {SMS) level disclosures. All disclosures were done on the Electronic E-disclosure System of the Department: Public Service and Administration {DPSA).

Five officials, at SMS level, submitted their disclosures late and in the manual format, as they had difficulty submitting it in the electronic format.

Four of these officials were newly appointed SMS members, at the level of Brigadier (Director) and one employee, at the level of Major General (Chief Director), was on extended sick leave.

In the 2018 State-of-the National Address, the President alluded to a review of configuration of government departments, this reconfiguration of government departments will amongst others reduce size of the public service, which will in turn reduce an increases of public service wage bill. The Department of Public Service and Administration is also putting together measures to contain huge increases of the public service wage bill, these measures include (i) employee-initiated severance package, (ii) early retirement without penalties, (iii) review of performance management and incentive system, (iv) centralised job grading and evaluation, (v) more effective management of allowances, including base amounts and frequency of adjustments, (vi) review of structure of government to reduce fragmentation, duplication of functions and elimination of redundant posts, amongst others, (vii) careful management of earnings growth including allowances, performance incentives and other benefits and also management of both headcount and earnings of public servants

All these measures will be implemented in a manner that avoids negative impact on the capacity of the state to deliver quality public services.

(1) The South African Police Service (SAPS) has entered into an agreement with Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd. A Memorandum of Understanding was concluded between the two entities, as per reference 19/1/9/1/114 TR (13). The above agreement was compiled in accordance with the required prescripts.

(1)(a) The contract was concluded, on 15 February 2017.
(1)(b) The advantages for SAPS of working in partnership with Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd, are the following:

The fast recovery of stolen and hijacked vehicles, which are fitted with a tracking device.

The arrest of criminals found at the scene of a crime, with stolen or hijacked vehicles, which improves the detection rate for stolen and/or hijacked vehicles.

(2) Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd, renders the service free of charge to the SAPS, as part of the agreement.

(3) Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd, as a partner in the combating of vehicle-related crime works jointly with the SAPS and has, in consultation with SAPS management, come up with an initiative called, "Tracker Connect/SAPS Awards".

The aim of the above initiative is to recognise SAPS members, who have gone the extra mile to assist during Tracker activations or deactivations on stolen and hijacked vehicles.

The recognition certificates are awarded to SAPS members, who are actively involved, when the Tracker device is activated and who respond promptly, in attending the scene of crime where stolen or hijacked vehicles are found. No incentives apply to SAPS members.

(4) Currently, Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd is the only company that has entered into an agreement and signed the Memorandum of Understanding with SAPS.

Apart from Tracker, there seems to be no other company involved in this capacity. However, the invitation was extended to other companies with a vested interest in this capacity. The Bid Committee, at the Division: Supply Chain Management (SCM), after careful consideration of other factors, nominated Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd, as the SAPS Private Partnership in this capacity.

(5) The Minister of Police will decide if he would like to make a statement, in this regard.

Section 3 and 6 and subsequent subsections of the Ministerial Handbook allows the Executive Members to be accompanied by their spouses or an adult family member instead of their spouses in their official journeys abroad at departmental expenses. Yes, the Minister has been accompanied to the UN commission on the Status of Women to New York by her brother as per the Ministerial Handbook.

(11) Since 1 April 2018, no International Trip has been taken by the Minister.

2. All international trips of Members of the Executive are processed and approved by the State President

Normally a Conference of this nature would cost in excess of a million rand for travel of an international speaker, fees associated with the speaker (a Nobel Laureate in Economics), flights for local delegates, accommodation, venue and catering.

The Ministry arranged to have the event done in partnership with the University of Witwatersrand, who provided the venue and certain costs associated with the event.

The Economic Development Department paid R46 124 for the event, to cover part of the cost of catering and travel for local delegates. The Economic Development Department did not incur any costs at all for Professor Stiglitz, as he was already in the country at his own cost on business unrelated to the Department and he did not charge a speaker’s fee for speaking at the EDD event.

The response is based on information received from Denel SOC Limited.

The Minister of Public Enterprises on 18 April 2018 directed the Board to investigate the awarding of the bursary awarded to the son of the Premier of North-West, Mr Supra Mahumapelo, to check whether the process was conducted in line with Denel policies.

The Board has commissioned the investigation and on its conclusion will take appropriate action against anyone within Denel who has flouted applicable policies. Further action to recover the funds expensed towards the bursary will need to be taken, if it is found that proper procedures were not followed.

On conclusion of the investigation, the Board has undertaken to share its contents with the Minister and at that stage the Minister shall be in a position to answer the questions that the Member has asked.

The SAPS allocates a budget annually, to procure asslstive devices, as per individual needs and disabilities, in order to eliminate barriers that may affect persons with disabilities, during the performance of their duties.

The SAPS has established partnerships with organisations for persons with disabilities, such as the South African Disability Alliance (SADA) and their affiliates, Deaf South Africa.

During workshops or meetings, sign language services are procured, as and when required, in order to accommodate people who have a hearing impairment.

(4)(b)  National Instruction 2/2012, Victim Empowerment, states how people with special needs must be assisted. In the case of victims with special needs, specific arrangements may have to be made to ensure that they are adequately assisted. (For example, a sign language interpreter might have to be arranged to assist a victim with a hearing impairment and to take down his or her statement.)

The SAPS is currently developing a user-friendly emergency system for the hearing impaired community, in order to be able to report crime to the SAPS Emergency telephone number, 10111.

(2) Yes, the information, which was provided by the South African Police Service (SAPS), is accurate. The verification of the number of vehicles revealed that there were four vehicles, which were utilised on a rotational basis, due to the age and mechanical status of the vehicles at the time.

1. The listeriosis outbreak has had a considerable economic impact across the meat processing industry. According to the South African Meat Processing Association (SAMPA), there has been a fall in demand since the outbreak. The listeriosis outbreak, and the announcement of the recall of products that was made on 4 March 2018, was a response to the number of fatalities directly attributable to the outbreak of listeriosis. Once the source of the outbreak had been ascertained, government was bound to issue a recall notice under the provisions of the National Consumer Commission, in the interests of public health.

The Department of Trade and Industry has undertaken a preliminary investigation into the economic and employment effects of the outbreak, which will be followed by a more in-depth study across the value chain.

An interim evaluation suggests that the pork industry is the hardest hit with a decrease in demand for processed meat of 75%, the demand for pork cold cuts decreased by 50% and profits by 40%.

The immediate impact, according to information on record, is that two processing plants and one abattoir have closed down. Approximately 2,000 jobs have been lost.

In the informal market, traders selling ready-made or prepared food have been negatively affected. While there was an initial decrease in sales by these vendors, many have since recovered by excluding processed meat or ensuring they do not procure products from the manufacturers identified as the centre of the outbreak.

2. The following interventions are directed at curbing further job losses and assisting the affected companies:

(i) The Department of Trade and Industry, in collaboration with other relevant departments, has been directed to undertake a full investigation of the impact of the listeriosis outbreak and its further effects across the value chain.

(ii) In keeping with standard operating procedure communicated to the industry, companies in distress are advised to apply for assistance to the Department of Trade and Industry under the Agro-processing Incentive, and to the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). Applications will be dealt with on a case by case basis, according to the merits of each application, and support will be provided as and where appropriate.

(iii) To ensure the requisite high levels of health and safety, government has put in place a process to establish a Food Safety Agency and attendant regulatory framework.

Government has intervened to secure public safety and the longer term sustainability of the sector, which must rest on an optimal health and safety regulatory framework and appropriate enforcement by government.

1. No, the stated Judge is no longer serving as a Judge of the Gauteng Division of the High Court.

2. The Judge was discharged from active service in August 2015 in terms of section 3(2)(a) of the Judges’ Remuneration and Conditions of Employment Act, 2001 (Act No 47 of 2001) after completing 15 years and having attained the age of 70 on 11 February 2015.

3. The Judge was not well at the time of his retirement but his discharge from active service was due to the attainment of the retirement age of 70 years and completion of 15 years active service as prescribed in section 3 and 4 of the Judges’ Remuneration and Conditions of Employment Act, 2001.

1. No, many national departments still experience capacity problems with elementary stages of complying with the Act. For example, most of them do not have language policies and those that have, are experiencing implementation challenges. Some of such challenges are self-inflicted due to unrealistic language policies. The Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) an entity of my department, recently called all departments and public entities to report on their status quo, where it became evident that many departments and entities simply copied the Act without applying their context. It is where PanSALB decided to workshop them on language policy writing and implementation plan, and the workshop was held on 23 March 2018.

2. Yes, PanSALB is monitoring compliance, hence the Public Hearings mentioned above. PanSALB has provided support in the form of a workshop to all departments and developed policy guidelines.

3. Some provinces have implemented and others are still struggling to implement:-

• Gauteng Provincial Languages Act has been approved but not yet implemented as the Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation is still working on its regulations before implementation by provincial government departments.
• The Eastern Cape’s Use of Official Languages Act has been approved and enacted by the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature. The 2nd of July 2018 was communicated to the Eastern Cape Office of PanSALB as a possible proclamation date of the Act.
• The Western Cape Province has the Provincial Languages Act and the provincial language policy. The Act is fully implemented by all provincial government departments.
• Limpopo Province also has a Provincial Languages Act which is being gradually implemented.
• Free State Provincial Languages Act was only approved in 2017 and implementation has commenced.
• KwaZulu-Natal province does not have a language Act, but has the Use of Official Languages Bill which will be finalised into an Act.
• Mpumalanga, Northern Cape and North-West provinces also have language Acts, that are being implemented.

(aa). The number of cases that were referred for criminal investigation to the South African Police Services (SAPS) and/ or Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations (DPCI) by the Department are six (6) in total. All criminal cases reported are still in progress.

(i). Frequent follow-ups were made by the Department with the abovementioned authorities under (aa).

(ii). The dockets are not yet ready for conviction but some are at advanced stages as the Department had an opportunity to interact with the National Prosecution Authority officials.

bb.(i) Nine (9) cases were referred to the SAPS

(ii) Four (4) cases were referred to the DPCI

(b)(i) Four (4 ) cases have been investigated by SAPS and DPCI

(ii) Regular follow-ups are made by the accounting officers.

(iii) No convictions in each specified cases as eight cases are still under investigations.

One case was unfounded and subsequently closed by the SAPS early 2018

Reply:

(1)(a)Yes. Steps were taken to effect the rule of law, by registering a case of defeating the ends of justice, as per Diepsloot, CAS 74/12/2017. The details are as follows:

A case of intimidation was opened by Mr Theba Mgabe, as per Diepkloof, CAS 487/08/2016. The docket was transferred to the Gauteng Provincial Investigation Unit, for investigation.

During the investigation of Diepkloof, CAS 487/08/2016, it was alleged that Colonel Pienaar, of the Dobsonville Police Station, did not submit all the relevant statements and exhibits, which were relevant to the aforementioned case.

A case was then opened against Colonel Pienaar for defeating the ends of justice, as per Diepkloof, CAS 74/12/2017. The case was presented to the Director of Public Prosecution (OPP), who declined to prosecute, due to a lack of evidence.

The Station Commander of the Diepkloof Police Station did not want to initiate any disciplinary steps against Colonel Pienaar, due to the fact that the OPP declined to prosecute in the criminal matter. However, an instruction was issued from the Provincial Office that the matter should be investigated, departmentally.

The departmental investigation was completed and referred for a disciplinary hearing. Currently, functionaries are being appointed to conduct the departmental hearing.

(2)(a) Yes. The former South African Police Service (SAPS) member's complaint has been dealt with. The administrator for the Soweto Pension Fund, found that the former member was not eligible for the benefits and advised that in respect of the demutualisation shares, the former member should engage with the relevant financial institution; namely, Old Mutual. It was established that the former member was not eligible for the top-up benefits and that there was no irregularity in respect of the former member's pension lump sum payment.

It is common cause that the SAPS has no jurisdiction on these matters.

Furthermore, the former member's complaint was also attended to by the Financial Services Board and the findings were similar to those made by the administrator for the Soweto Pension Fund.

In terms of the allegation of corruption, the former member is advised to open a criminal case at a police station.

(2)(b)No. The complaint has been addressed, however, it appears that the complainant is not satisfied with a response, which does not suit his expectations.

(3)(a)The reservist system in the SAPS is regulated by National Instruction 3 of 2014. In terms of the reservist dispensation, members of the community volunteer to assist the SAPS in the fight against crime, without any expectation of being permanently employed and without any payment, unless called up for special duties. Reservists are not automatically employed or absorbed into the SAPS. Permanent employment as new police officers or support/clerical staff in the SAPS, is governed by legislative/regulatory framework/prescripts.

Reservists must comply with the necessary enlistment/appointment criteria to be employed permanently.

According to records kept by the SAPS, Ms K Mafuna was subjected to the psychometric assessment on eight different occasions and did not fit the prescribed profile to be a permanent police officer. As a result, her application for enlistment was not favourably considered.

The following provinces are currently experiencing shortages of ammunition, specifically with regard to firearm training:

•  Eastern Cape.
• Gauteng.
• KwaZulu-Natal.
• Mpumalanga.
• North West.
• Western Cape.

Police stations are not responsible for firearms training and therefore, do not present firearm training to their members. The ammunition that police stations have on hand, is specifically to provide for thelr day-ta- day operational needs. Police Stations have adequate ammunition for this purpose.

The Ministerial Handbook outlines provisions for international travel for members of the executive and their family members. Members of the Executive are regularly invited to participate in international conferences or forums in order to promote a South African agenda and brand that benefits or showcases the country.

Ministers and Deputy Ministers must approach the President in writing, two weeks in advance of a planned official visit abroad, to request approval for the intended visit and the appointment of an acting Minister.

Section 3 stipulates provisions that allows for Ministers and Deputy Minister’s to be accompanied by their spouses or an adult family member, subject to relevant processes and approvals of an official trip abroad.

The department covers the cost of travel once all processes, policies and approvals have been adhered to and applied and this is subject to the availability of funding.

However, the Auditor General audits, amongst others, expenditure related to travel expenses borne by the department and produces audited opinions on departmental Annual Reports, which is tabled in parliament annually.
