DPE response

a) In 2007 the then Department of Minerals and Energy which is currently known as the Department of Mineral Resources (“DMR”) entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (“MoA”) with De Beers in connection with the State interest pertaining to lease consideration, claims and other obligations payable to the State in terms of the 1979 lease (“Cullinan Lease”) and the 1990 lease (“Venetia Lease”). The Cullinan Lease and the Venetia Lease collectively will be referred to as “Lease Agreements”.

Prior to the enactment of the Minerals Act of 1991 (“Minerals Act”) and as inferred by the MoA, the State had an uncontested interest and claims which were payable and arising out of the Lease Agreements. However, once the Minerals Act was enacted, De Beers contested the State interest and claims under the Lease Agreements and contended that the State interest and claims were no longer payable.

On the other hand, the State was of the firm view that the coming into effect of the Minerals Act does not extinguish its rights flowing out of the Lease Agreements. In order for DMR and De Beers to settle the above dispute, an MoA was concluded as a full and final settlement of any and all claims that the State may have had against De Beers in terms of the Lease Agreements and as part of the settlement a 20% shareholding in Namaqualand Mines (NM) was allocated to DMR pending transfer to a proposed transaction structure involving Alexkor.

The protracted Richtersveld community land claim against the Department and Alexkor (“Land Claim”) complicated the deal as the resolution of the matter was vital to the proposed transaction structure. The Government took a decision to protect the 20% shareholding in NM pending the resolution of the Land Claim. Eventually, the proposed deal structure failed to materialise and whilst the Government was negotiating a resolution of the Land Claim, De Beers was proceeding with its business rationalisation process.

b) As a result, several steps were taken by De Beers to sell NM which was eventually acquired by Trans Hex and the State maintained its 20% shareholding under the custodianship of the Department of Public Enterprises. The NM operations lay dormant for several years until 2015 when West Coast Resources was formed to exploit the NM asset. The 20% shareholding of the State is warehoused in a Special Purpose Vehicle while the State determines how to leverage its stake.

(a) A tender in this regard has not been approved. The South African Police Service (SAPS), is currently leasing the Cloetesvllle Police Station, through the National Department of Public Works (NDPW), from the Western Cape Provincial Government, on a lease that expired, on 2016-11-30. The NDPW informed the SAPS that the lease could only be extended, from 2016-12-01 to 2017-11-30. The SAPS was served with a notice to vacate the premises, because the Western Cape Provincial Government required the property for their infrastructure developments. The lease is currently dealt with, on a month to-month basis.

The SAPS has issued a needs assessment and a procurement instruction to the Cape Town Regional Office of the NDPW, on 2017-05-16, for the acquisition of alternative accommodation.

The conclusion of lease agreements for the SAPS, is undertaken by the NDPW, as the mandated institution. The Cape Town Regional Office of the NDPW has indicated that the procurement processes must still be followed.

The NDPW did not provide a date when the matter would be placed on an open tender for the acquisition of alternative office accommodation.

(b) The station is currently leased from the Western Cape Provincial Government and no plans have been communicated to the SAPS, which indicate proposals to replace the station.

(b)(i) By virtue of the dependency on the NDPW, for the conclusion of leases, the SAPS is not in a position to comment on the duration of the procurement processes that the NDPW will follow to conclude the new lease agreement for alternative accommodation, as requested.

(b)(ii)The SAPS has requested that the leased accommodation be procured centrally, within the precinct of the current Cloetesville Police Station. By virtue of the SAPS's dependency on the NDPW for the conclusion of leases, the SAPS is therefore, not in a position to comment on the location of the facility to be procured, up until such a time that the lease has been concluded by the NDPW.

DPE response

a) The Special Investigating Unit is currently working with a team comprising the DPCI and State-Owned Companies’ (SOC) Forensic Units to inter alia address current and historical allegations of corruption in the SOCs. Among others, the team is seized with reviewing forensic reports that have been commissioned by the SOCs in order to:

(i) Ascertain the number and status of matters that have been referred to SAPS;

(ii) Ascertain the number and status of matters that have been referred to DPCI.

The efforts are meant to ensure that where prima facie case of corruption exists, the law enforcement agencies move to seize assets that are proceeds of corruption. Furthermore, the work is also meant to establish matters that the Boards and Executive of SOCs failed to refer for criminal investigation by relevant law enforcement agencies and matters that could expeditiously result in the conviction of those implicated in allegations of corruption concerning SOCs.

(aa) The question relates to a period that spans 14 years. Consequently, at the time of responding to the question, the Department had confirmed that one case of corruption and fraud was referred to the SAPS and the related investigation is still underway.

(bb) To date seventy nine forensic reports commissioned by SOCs concerning matters of malfeasance, fraud and corruption have been referred to the SIU for review. The team comprising SIU, Asset Forfeiture Unit and the DPCI is seized with the review of the reports. Furthermore, the SIU is currently conducting work in line with Proclamation No 11 of 2018 that authorizes investigation into allegations of malfeasance, fraud and corruption in Transnet and Eskom. A motivation will be submitted to Denel to address allegations of corruption in Denel.

b) (i)(ii)(iii) The review and reconciliation of records being done independently by the team led by the SIU should assist in ascertaining the completeness and status of all matters that have been referred to law enforcement agencies and convictions if any, which have been registered to date.

All the efforts mentioned above are fully aligned to the commitment made by the President during the State of the Nation Address that this is the year to turn the tide of corruption in public institutions. Therefore, the team led by the SIU should be allowed to continue its work in order to reveal facts behind the questions posed and the information that the SOCs has over the years submitted to the Ministry.

(a) and (b) Yes,

Overview Progress Report on the Implementation of the 1997 and 1999 Public Works White Papers can be summarised as follows:

Construction Sector

Since the adoption of the 1997 and 1999 Public Works White Papers respectively the Department of Public Works (DPW) led a process that culminated in the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and the Council for the Built Environment (CBE) Acts of Parliament, as well as the Construction Sector Charter and Codes. The Department is currently in the process of reviewing the cited Acts.

The Emerging Contractor Development Programme is a key intervention that has been implemented. This has enabled participation of black owned small and medium enterprises in the construction sector. However, there is still room for improvement to deepen transformation in the sector. Opportunities availed to these enterprises through set-asides have afforded these business entities opportunities to gain skills and knowledge, as well as expand their asset-base.

Property Sector

The State has been beset with a number of intertwined challenges in respect of the management and administration of its immovable property portfolio. To provide a uniform framework and ensure coordination in the management of immovable assets the Government Immovable Assets Management Act, 2007 (GIAMA) [Act No. 19 of 2007] was enacted. The process of institutionalisation of the Act started immediately thereafter and continuous monitoring is being undertaken.

In an endeavour to enhance implementation of GIAMA, the Department of Public Works embarked on a programme to produce a complete and Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) compliant Immovable Asset Register (IAR). The IAR enhancement programme was successfully completed in the 2015/16 financial year.

The IAR is a critical mechanism that enables the State to have accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive information on its immovable assets.

One of the challenges identified through the operational Policy Framework was the lack of a pre-eminent property and facilities management hub for the State. In September 2014 Cabinet approved the establishment of the Property Management Trading Entity (PMTE). The Entity is primarily charged with the management of State properties. We are currently in the process of operationalizing the PMTE.

Public Employment/Works Programmes

The Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) is in its third phase, having been formally launched in 2004. The EPWP Strategy and EPWP Guidelines for implementation have been developed to give direction towards the implementation of the intervention.

Central to the implementation of the EPWP is the application of labour intensive methods, which have resulted in massive job creation, skilling and community asset building. Major social infrastructure assets include police stations, schools, community halls, courts and internal access roads, amongst others. The StatsSA 2015 Quarterly Household Survey confirmed that the EPWP has had a significant impact in addressing the challenge of hunger as a result of poverty for thousands of households. The EPWP has been a safety net for many who struggle to find employment in the mainstream economy. Moreover, to an extent, the EPWP has contributed to reducing socio-economic inequalities and has had a positive effect on social cohesion.

Deracialisation and Radical Transformation in the Construction Sector

The Department of Public Works provides leadership in facilitating the transformation of the built environment (BE). The enactment of the Council for the Built Environment Act, 2000 [Act No. 43 of 2000] and the Acts related to the 6 Built Environment Professions Councils (BEPCs) attests to the efforts towards the transformation of the BE sector. The BEPC talk to the following disciplines:

• Architecture;
• Landscape Architecture;
• Quantity Surveying;
• Engineering;
• Construction project management; and
• Property Valuers.

Though challenges still exist, a lot of groundwork has been covered leading to a steady throughput of BE professionals from designated groups.

To foster inclusivity and broad participation in the property sector, particularly with respect to State-owned immovable assets, the Property Management Empowerment Policy was developed and approved in January 2018 and subsequently became operational.

The Property Sector Charter and Codes were developed to facilitate transformation in the Property sector. The amended Codes were approved by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in June 2017.

The Construction Sector Transformation Charter provides the basis for the development of the Construction Sector Code as it reflects the commitment of various parties to actively promote a vibrant, transformed and competitive construction sector. The Construction Sector Charter and Codes have recently (December 2017) been approved by the DTI.

All the efforts alluded above demonstrate that the Department of Public Works is committed to creating an enabling environment for reconstruction, growth and development in the Property and Construction Sectors.

Therefore, the DRDLR Deeds Office does not have records of information on the various land use parcels in the municipalities.

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) continues to work with Eskom to advise on Eskom’s pricing model, in line with Electricity Regulation Act, 2006 (Act No. 4 of 2006).

Energy is the lifeblood of any economy. This is why the purpose of the Integrated Energy Plan (IEP) is to provide a roadmap of the future energy landscape for South Africa which guides future energy infrastructure investments, policy development and alignment. The IEP provides an overarching planning framework for electricity, liquid fuels and gas sector plans such that the development of these plans are done in a coordinated and integrated manner. Following the Cabinet decision of December 2017, the department is steadily working towards concluding the review of the IRP this year (2018).

The Bid Submission for REIPPP Projects in Bid Window 4 was on 18 August 2014, a total number of 77 bids were received and evaluated based on stringent qualification and evaluation criteria. Accordingly these four projects were selected as preferred bidders based on the outcome of the evaluation. The shareholding of each project company was disclosed at bid submission as bid criteria include South African Entity and Black ownership requirements. Bidders are not precluded from submitting more than one project for evaluation. All bidders are bound by rules against collusion which may result in disqualification. As the four specified project companies have the same shareholding structure collusion with another bidding group or developer is not relevant. The individual bids by the four 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) There is currently no maintenance budget set aside specifically allocated to the Umhlali Police Station. The Department of Public Works (DPW) has a consolidated day-to-day maintenance budget and attends to emergencies and defects for all State-owned buildings utilising this budget.

b) There neither major renovations nor an upgrade project planned for the Umhlali Police Station in the current financial year. Should the South African Police Service (SAPS) prioritise and request that DPW execute upgrading works to the infrastructure, a procurement instruction along with confirmation of funding from the SAPS CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) budget will have to be forwarded to the DPW.

In the interim, the DPW attends to emergencies and day-to-day maintenance requests from the station when reported.

The DPW has also implemented annual maintenance contracts for the following disciplines, of which the Umhlali Police Station is covered:

• electrical maintenance;
• air-conditioning for HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system) / Plant systems; and
• lifts.

The Department is also currently planning for the implementation of the following maintenance contracts for the following disciplines within this financial year:

• fire-fighting equipment;
• generators;
• plumbing; and
• general building repairs and maintenance.

c) Officials from the DPW do visit State facilities when inspections have to be conducted to compile specifications reports and for planning purposes

a) The Department is a member of the National Transport Forum and engages on all matters affecting tourism. This includes recent engagements with all relevant departments in the Tourism Strategy Implementation Work-Stream focusing on facilitating ease of access broadly.

b) The Department of Transport is also working on establishing the Single Transport Economic Regulator (STER) to consolidate the economic regulation of transport. The STER will, amongst others, promote transparency in the setting of transport fees and stakeholders will have a mechanism to provide their views. The Department of Tourism was engaged in respect of this process and provided its inputs.

• In the previous year, ACSA announced the reduction of airport fees by 35% from April 2017.

-Passenger service charge per departing domestic passenger: R82 (from R127)

-Passenger service charge per departing international passenger: R223 (from R346)

-Passenger service charge per departing passenger for an airport within Botswana, Namibia

and Swaziland: R169 (from R263)

• The 35% reduction in prices is in line with UNWTO’s calls for destinations to avoid stifling tourism growth with exorbitant charges.

For the period commencing 2015/2016 to 2017/2018 financial year SSA has recorded forty-one (41) motor vehicle accidents of which nine (9) vehicles were found to be uneconomical to repair.

Repair costs were as follows:

Description	2015/2016	2016/2017	2017/2018
Total Accidents	8	20	13
Total Written Off	1	8
Total Repair Costs	R758 934.31	R462 140.04	R11 100.00

Vehicles were written off when the value to repair exceeded the vehicle value. Hence, it did not make economic sense to repair them.

Currently, there is not tracking system installed in the official vehicles for SSA. Research with regard to systems is currently being conducted to find the most suitable system for the SSA.

No, the conditions of the 10% tariff increase on primary steel products produced by ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) does not include conditions that the price of steel must not increase.

The conditions of the tariff adjustment are subject to a signed agreement between AMSA and government which includes a requirement for AMSA to abide by steel pricing principles and reciprocal commitments. These are the retention of jobs, maintaining industrial output and an independent settlement with the Competition Commission to invest R4.6 billion to raise competitiveness.

The agreement is based on an international basket price calculated using the domestic prices of steel in countries South Africa competes with in downstream steel intensive products. The basket is aimed at achieving a fair flat steel price that is priced appropriately to ensure that steel-dependent industries are competitive, while at the same time ensuring that the upstream steel mills remain sustainable. AMSA has complied with the basket price which changes as global prices increase or decrease in an environment where global market prices and input costs are volatile, but generally increasing. This process is monitored by the Department of Trade and Industry (thedti) and the International Trade and Administration Commission.(ITAC)

Excess steel capacity, unfair trade and increased steel imports are challenges, not only for the domestic economy, but globally. These problems are exacerbated by structural problems, weak economic recovery and depressed market demand. This has resulted in the increasing deployment of large-scale trade measures by a host of countries. In SA, the tariff increases are part of an integrated set of measures deployed by the SA government to respond to the challenges and support the steel industry as a whole.

In 2015 with the onset of the steel crisis, an interdepartmental task team was established to develop short to medium term measures to save the industry from the threat of closure, loss of capacity and job losses. The outcomes of the work to date are the following measures currently being implemented and monitored:

1. Increase in the general rate of customs duty on primary steel products to 10% and safeguard measures for a period of 3 years on hot rolled coil and plate products,
2. Tariff increases on a range of downstream products and the deployment of rebates where products are not manufactured or additional value added, before export,
3. As set out above an agreement on a set of principles for flat steel pricing in SA,
4. Local procurement by government to raise aggregate domestic demand by:
   • • ‘undeeming’ of primary steel in designated products (requiring the use of locally manufactured primary steel)
     • designation of downstream steel intensive construction steel products and components,
5. A settlement by the Competition Commission on a range of issues with AMSA,
6. Establishment of a R1.5bn Steel Development Fund to support key downstream steel sectors/sub sectors, housed at the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC)
7. Investment support through 12i tax incentives and incubation support for SME development.

Other measures are currently being considered and processed. These include the development of a short term negotiated electricity pricing framework for energy intensive users and a SARS/Customs reference price system for downstream products.

The inter-departmental steel task team is also engaged with developing medium to longer term interventions. Announcements on these will be made in due course.

(1) The Department of Public Works has not conducted any lifestyle audits in the categories stipulated by the Honourable Member. Nonetheless, Government uses a system of financial disclosures as prescribed by the Public Service Regulations of 2016. The system provides for the disclosure of shareholding; directorships and partnerships; equities; income generating assets; sponsorships; remunerative work outside an employee’s formal employment; gifts and hospitality; and other financial interests. Additionally, employees are required to make related party disclosures.

Financial interests disclosed by senior managers are verified by the Public Service Commission (PSC). The same is monitored by the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and any situation hinting at a conflict of interest is identified and addressed with the employee concerned by first informing the Executive Authority. Moreover, the Auditor-General South Africa (AGSA), has unfettered access to financial disclosures of employees by virtue of Section 15 (1) of the Public Audit Act, 2004 [Act No. 25 of 2004]. The AGSA is therefore empowered to conduct an audit on the lifestyle of any public service employees to verify the financial position of such persons and establish conflicts of interests, if any.

One of my key priorities as the Minister of Public Works ever since my appointment to this portfolio in 2011 has been zero tolerance to fraud and corruption. To this extent, through the Turnaround programme, systems have been put in place to deal with these challenges with visible successes. We have established the Anti-Corruption Unit, which has conducted a number of investigations on suspicious activities. In some instances, the cases were investigated together with the Special Investigating Unit (SIU). We therefore support the call by the President, His Excellency, Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa, to conduct lifestyle audits and believe that these will be an effective tool in the fight against fraud and corruption.

(2) No. There are no reports of such audits, since the lifestyle audits, in the strict sense of the term, have yet to be conducted by the Department. Once the guidelines are finalized on how these audits should be conducted we will be in a position to implement them.

The Department has not failed to implement the budget resort concept. Properties identified in the budget resort audit completed by the Department of Tourism are not owned by the department but by Local and/ or Provincial Government. Commercialisation of these tourism assets remains the responsibility of the owing entities and not the Department of Tourism. If requested, the Department of Tourism remains committed to supporting the efforts of Local and/or Provincial Government with regards to these facilities. One form of such support is in the 2018/19 financial year the Department will develop an ownership and operational model for the budget resorts.

(a) The National Tourist Safety Forum stakeholder engagements will culminate in formalised systems and procedures that will function in collaboration with the existing tourist safety structures at national, provincial, local and private sector levels. The Security Cluster is part of the key stakeholders at all levels. When finalised, the strategic document will encompass this key cluster.

(b) The Department of Tourism has prioritised tourist safety as one of the key focus areas that require immediate interventions. In the current (2018/2019) financial year, the Department has established a National Tourism Safety Forum (NTSF) that is driven in collaboration with all the key Tourism Sector stakeholders including the Security Cluster. The NTSF stakeholder engagements will culminate in formalised systems and procedures that will function in collaboration with the existing tourist safety structures at national, provincial, local and private sector levels.

It is an over-simplification to suggest that ‘subsidies and tariff protection remove competitiveness in the industry’.

(i) The dti’s incentives are carefully designed so as to improve the competitiveness of the beneficiary company and – over time – the competitiveness of industries.

For example, the Manufacturing Competitiveness Enhancement Programme (MCEP) was designed to assist firms which, after the Global Financial Crisis, were facing declining demand in traditional export markets and heightened import competition in South Africa’s domestic market. the dti offered matching grant funding to qualifying companies intending to invest in inter alia:

• Buildings, machinery and equipment,
• Improving company-level electricity and water generation and/or usage,
• Undertaking specialised skills development, and
• Product development to access new export markets.

By providing incentives to firms undertaking these types of investments, the dti is precisely targeting support to those activities which it is widely agreed, will raise firm-level competitiveness.

Over time, those firms that received the incentive should see an improvement in their competitiveness and may begin to win additional market share in the domestic or export market.

Those firms which have not made these kinds of investment may lose market share and through competition will eventually be forced to consider making competitiveness improving investments of their own, accept the loss of market share/profits, or find other markets for their products.

In this way, the dti will have directly supported the competiveness improvement of Company A through the provision of a subsidy. In addition, the dti’s support to Company A may – over time – induce substantial new investments from Companies B, C, D, and E which represent the industry as a whole, and thereby the competitiveness of an industry may improve.

(ii) South Africa has adopted a developmental approach to tariffs and has ensured that tariffs are used as a policy tool to support industrial development. In addition, South Africa adopts a case-by-case approach to tariffs based on the needs of each sector.

Consider the case of South Africa’s Automotive sector. It is widely held that the industry and local firms are highly competitive and are regular recipients of global quality and productivity awards. This happens even though South Africa maintains modest tariff protection for the Automotive sector. In these specific circumstances, the domestic Automotive sector firms compete with one another vigorously and are constantly looking at ways to improve their competitiveness even though they benefit from tariff protection.

There are however cases where tariff protection can remove competitiveness from industry. Consider a product such as soybeans which is used to produce poultry feed. Imposition of, or maintenance of a tariff on soybeans while South Africa’s agricultural sector is unable to grow enough soybeans to satisfy local demand will indeed reduce the competitiveness of the downstream industry (in this case poultry).

To avoid such a situation arising, Government assesses tariff protection in a rigorous process and considers a wide range of socio-economic factors across stakeholders before deciding to reduce, increase or impose tariff protection. In addition, Government may decide to provide a rebate of a particular tariff for a specific amount of time. Such a rebate is designed to avoid the competitiveness-reducing effect of a tariff in the soybean example while not forfeiting Government’s policy space to impose a tariff at a later date when circumstances may necessitate such an intervention.

(ii) the dti has found that the provision of carefully designed incentives (including tariff protection) has substantially contributed to South Africa’s economic growth.

For example, for every R1 in investment incentives provided by the dti, approximately R4 in investment is provided by private-sector investors. Thus, in the 2017/18 Financial Year, the dti’s incentives encouraged 849 firms to commit R35bn in private-sector investment.

Put differently, Government’s economic policy which includes the provision of incentives and tariffs, creates an enabling business environment which sustains 1.4 million formal and informal jobs in the Manufacturing sector.

Consequently, the support afforded by the dti to industry has supported economic growth and job retention especially in the period after the Global Financial Crisis.

(1)(a) The Department of Higher Education has received information about seven alleged instances of corruption at the University of Zululand.

(b) These allegations relate to the following:

(i) procurement processes for infrastructure projects;

(ii) qualification fraud, changing of marks and tampering with admission requirements;

(iii) irregularities relating to the purchase of housing for executive managers;

(iv) the procurement process for the appointment of a computer-training service provider using funds from the Teaching Development Grant;

(v) fraud relating to the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor;

(vi) the un-procedural appointment of University of Zululand attorneys; and

(vii) an alleged R11.5 million transfer.

(c) – (d) (i) Procurement processes for infrastructure projects. The tender process for infrastructure development was challenged in court and it was halted whilst the matter was heard in court. The university investigated the matter and found that certain staff members flawed the procurement process due to the non-disclosure of material facts. The officials implicated in the irregular procurement process were subjected to the university’s disciplinary process and have since left the institution.

(ii) Qualification fraud, changing of marks and tampering with admission requirements to allow students who did not meet the requirements to be admitted. It was alleged that fake academic transcripts were being generated outside the university. The university reported that it acted decisively and suspended two employees identified in the alleged degrees for sale scam. The matter was also dealt with in the court and both accused were found guilty on 62 counts of fraud. The marks of individuals identified were removed and students were allowed to re-register.

(iii) Irregularities relating to the purchase of executive housing. The Department received a number of complaints from the Secretary of Save Unizulu amongst others, alleging financial irregularities, including the spending of R19 million on houses and plots at an up-market eco-state to house university executives. The Minister wrote to the University Council requesting clarity on the alleged irregularities. The Council responded that the purchase was approved in 2015 as part of the university’s retention strategy. The houses remain the property of the university, and the use is governed by the university housing policy.

(iv) Illegal sourcing of a computer-training programme. The allegation is linked to the appointment of a service provider to provide computer training as part of the university’s Teaching Development Grant (TDG) funded activities. The Department requested information from the university and was satisfied with the explanation. The external audit report of the TDG funded activities indicated that the funds were used to support the university’s approved TDG plan, and were in accordance with the university’s own policies. No further action was requested at that time.

(v) Alleged fraudulent appointment of the Vice-Chancellor. The appointment of a Vice-Chancellor is the remit of Council and not the Department. The Department was initially invited to sit on the selection committee due to a misinterpretation of the university rule. The Department engaged with the university explaining that the rule referred to Ministerial appointees on Council and not Departmental officials, and recused itself from the process. The Minister of Higher Education and Training also raised the matter with the Chairperson of Council and was reassured that the university had undertaken an extensive search in accordance with the recruitment policy applied to appointment of a Vice-Chancellor and been unsuccessful in attracting an appropriate candidate before the Chairperson of Council requesting Professor Mtose to consider applying for the Vice-Chancellor position.

(vi) Fraudulent/Unprocedural appointment of the University of Zululand attorneys. The university appoints its service providers in line with its own supply chain management policies. The Council approved the appointment of the attorneys. The university has submitted satisfactory reports on time and in line with reporting requirements. In 2016, it received an unqualified audit opinion. The analysis of the reports does not show any material irregularities in respect to its supply chain management.

(vii) Illegal transfer of R11.5 million. An illegal transfer of R11.5 million to a private account occurred in 2013 just before the Administrator left the university. A forensic audit was undertaken by the university to investigate the case. The university has indicated that it had dealt with the matter. The Department has not seen the forensic report.

(2) Although the university has investigated all the cases detailed above, and put in place various punitive measures, the Minister has recently directed the Council to conduct an independent forensic investigation into a whole range of matters, including the above, so that these allegations can be comprehensively addressed as a matter of urgency.

QUESTION 1

Rm 127 was allocated to conduct Anti-piracy in the Mozambican Channel as Op COPPER. Of the Rm 127 that was allocated, R74 130 523 was reallocated within the DoD due to budget cuts, thus leaving the Operation with R52 869 477 and the breakdown is as follows:

a. Compensation of Employees R34 898 573

b. Good and Services R17 925 762

c. Machinery and equipment R 45 142

TOTAL R52 869 477

QUESTION 2:

According to the actual reimbursement received versus the expected reimbursement the breakdown is as follows:

MOU Expected

a. Personnel R 251 656 006,88

b. Self-sustainment R 61 104 030,93

c. Main Equipment R 85 018 126,60

Sub-total R 397 778 164,42

d. Actual Reimbursement Received R 232 505 094,17

e. Amount still due by UN R 110 606 126,28

f. Reimbursement forfeited R 54 666 943,97

The forfeited reimbursement is due to the unserviceability of the prime mission equipment in the Mission Area. The effects of budget cuts have a negative impact on our operations and the maintenance of prime mission equipment; thus, result in the SANDF not being able to meet the strict UN assessment criteria for re-imbursement.
