According to the information received from Eskom

(1)

Eskom had Capital constraints post Multi Year Price Determination 3 (MYPD3) award in 2013. Eskom prioritised allocation of capital for the New Build program and thus very limited capital was made available for the cost plus mines expansion and equipment replacement projects.

FY2017 Eskom recommitted capital investment in the cost plus mines. However Eskom is still faced with further funding constraints and this affects its capital allocation for cost plus mines.

(2)

Yes, over the past 12 months Eskom has negotiated contracts with non-tied mines to fill the coal-supply shortfall.

Reply:

(1) (a) What is the annual budget of the SA National Aids Council (SANAC),

The Annual budget of SANAC for the period 2017/18 was R66, 275,268

(b) what amount of the budget comes from

(i) international organisations?

Funding from International donors for the period 2017/18 was R22,324,975

(ii) the private sector in South Africa and

 

SANAC did not receive any funding from the private sector in South Africa for the year 2017/18

(c) (i) How is the budget spent

Budget is spent on programmes developed in line with the National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV, TB and STI’s  

      

(ii) does the SANAC audit its books;

SANAC books are audited by independent internal and external auditors appointed by the SANAC Board of Trustees.

(2) to what extent has (a) SANAC engaged mining companies to implement social labour plans to ease poverty, unemployed and determinants on health

The Chamber of Mines is represented on the Global Fund Country Co- ordinating Mechanism and the Plenary and their participation facilitates the alignment of their social labour plans with other investments in the country, from government and external donors.

The new Global Fund Request for Funding that is currently being developed aims to include an organisation that works with private sector companies to align their investments with the National Strategic Plan for HIV, TB and STIs, maximising the efficiency and effectiveness of their investment.   

The SANAC has developed a private sector strategy that includes building a platform for engagement with mining companies but this has not yet been implemented due to funding shortages.

and (b) SANAC helped District Aids Councils and Local Aids Councils to be effective;

In July 2015, SANAC Secretariat commissioned an assessment to look at the functionality of the Provincial Councils on AIDS and their sub-level structures (District and Local AIDS Councils). Overall, the assessment showed secretariats exists and are able to conduct most of the support functions related to day to day Council activities. The assessment further showed that the levels of functionality of the PCAs and that of their respective sub-levels were found to be variable.

Provincial Premiers’ leadership of the PCAs was found to be more visible than perceived. However, at district and local level the assessment found that in many instances the councils were non-existent and where they existed the functionality levels were low. There were however provinces where some districts and local level AIDS councils are functional.

Based on the findings and recommendations SANAC Secretariat put together an AIDS Councils Capacity Development initiative to strengthen the Provincial, Districts and Local AIDS Councils. This initiative has seen the development of a Capacity Development Strategy to guide the implementation of the Capacity Building initiative for the AIDS Councils. A toolkit for AIDS Councils Capacity Development has also been developed and to this end 4 Provinces and their districts have been trained (Gauteng, North West, Mpumalanga and Free State). The remaining 5 provinces will be trained during this financial year. The capacity building will be followed by a mentorship programme to continually support the AIDS Councils to function optimally at all times.

SANAC through its Secretariat is also supporting the AIDS Councils to develop their Implementation Plans to reach the goals of the National Strategic Plan 2017-2018. To this end all the 9 provinces have their Provincial Implementation Plans being finalized while all the 44 Districts and 8 Metros have their Multi-Sectoral District Implementation Plans. However, successful implementation of these instruments will require that the Premiers and the Mayors take overall leadership of their AIDS Councils.

SANAC is also working with the United Nations Joint AIDS Program (UNAIDS) on a Fast Track Cities initiative to assist municipalities and cities with a high burden of HIV, TB and STI’s. This process seeks to support these Municipalities and Cities to fast track their HIV response to achieve the 90-90-90 targets by 2020 and their NSP targets by 2022.

(3) what innovative programmes is SANAC contemplating for reducing unplanned teenage pregnancies and HIV incidents amongst teenagers;

The SANAC secretariat co-ordinates the implementation of programmes targeting young women and girls under the umbrella of the She Conquers campaign launched by the previous SANAC chair. This includes programmes implemented by government, GIZ, the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria and the DREAMS programme of PEPFAR. The Global Fund programme is also piloting a cash plus care programme in KZN and WC where conditional cash grants are provided together with a package of services that aims to empower women aged 19-24 years. All these programmes aim to reduce teenage pregnancies and HIV incidence.

(4) whether SANAC will intervene with regard to the poor attendance by the health representatives to Aids meetings at District Aids Councils and Local Aids Councils;

While it is SANAC’s mandate to coordinate the HIV, TB and STI’s response in the country, it however remains the role of the individual AIDS Councils leadership to encourage every stakeholder to be always represented and participate actively during the AIDS Councils meetings. Therefore, the Premiers and Mayors are encouraged to make sure that their AIDS Councils are well established, multi-sectoral, meet on a regular basis and report on their work.

SANAC is also developing a National Accountability Framework and scorecard as recommended in the National Strategic Plan 2017-2022. It is envisaged that once completed the Accountability Framework will improve accountability across all sectors on the implementation of the National Strategic Plan. This process will result in the Premiers and Mayors understanding their performance progress towards achieving the 8 goals of the National Strategic Plan.

(5) how is SANAC tracking its performance on planned activities and what measures are in place to achieve the implementation of its National Strategic Plan 2017-22?

SANAC has an Annual Performance Plan (APP) which tracks its performance on planned activities on a quarterly basis. The APP is reviewed on a quarterly basis and audited to track progress.

Through its provincial representation and broad multi-stakeholder consultation, on an annual basis SANAC compiles M&E progress reports on the implementation of the National Strategic Plan (NSP). 

The NSP 2017-22 implementation is also tracked through the compilation of provincial quarterly progress reports on key indicators. 

Going forward, quarterly factsheets will be compiled to depict progress in the implementation of the NSP will be develop. The intention of this will be to widely communicate progress. 

A Mid-Term Review is also planned to track progress to document progress and address identified implementation challenges. 

Reply:

(1) The reasons for the year-on-year budget escalations, are as follows:

- Additional members of Cabinet must be protected.

- An increase in manifested threats against Very Important Persons (VIP's).

- An Increase in major events and the related protection.

(2)(a)(b) Yes. The Department of Police supports the view of the President of the Republic of South Africa, Honourable MC Ramaphosa, who has said that measures must be implemented, to reduce the expenditure of protection and security services for VIPs.

The envisaged re-alignment and rationalisation of government departments by the President, will result in less· government departments, Members of Cabinet and VIPs. This will result In a significant reduction In expenditure for the Division: Protection and Security Services.

(1) prior to the announcement of the President, Mr CM Ramaphosa, during his State of the .Nation Address, the South African Police Service (SAPS) had not established a system to. conduct lifestyle audits. Lifestyle audits were, however, given effect to, via the Security Competency (Vetting) System.

Senior Management Service (SMS) members, who are In possession of a security clearance, would have had their lifestyles audited through the Vetting System. To achieve the objective of ensuring the integrity of the SAPS, an SMS members have been instructed to apply for a security clearance, on the SAPS E-vetting System.

The SAPS has since the announcement, as stated above, introduced lifestyle audits as both part of vetting and as a separate activity from the vetting, through random or specific targeting.

(2) Lifestyle audits are by its very nature, highly confidential, as it includes personal information and private details of employees. Therefore, copies of the lifestyle audits reports can unfortunately not be made available to Mr DC Ross.

The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) and the Economic Development Department has on an on-going basis considered the impact of the price preference system (PPS) for scrap metals, which looked inter alia at declared levels of exports, feedback from individual companies affected by the PPS and consideration of the efficacy of the rules that are in place. One input into the assessment was a report by Genesis Analytics.

The Genesis Analytics Report was based on interviews with a sample of companies and considered the economic impact of the PPS. The cost of the Genesis Analytics study was R828 210.

The Genesis Analytics Report identified both benefits and challenges with the operation of the system.

The Department tabled data on trade flows on scrap metal to parliament as recently as September 2017, which indicated a significant decrease in volumes from 2014 to 2016 of 60%, and a decline in value from R5.8 billion in 2014 to R1.9 billion in 2016.

Government is considering various options on strengthening the impact of measures to ensure greater local use of scrap metal, to address the needs of the national infrastructure programme, reverse the previous deindustrialization of the foundry and steel mini-mill sector and to contribute to the country’s climate change goals. These include consideration of the extension of the PPS, adjustment of the rules applicable to the PPS, its replacement with an export tax on scrap metal or other means to ensure that a greater level of locally-collected scrap metal is in fact processed locally and an announcement will be made on conclusion of the review.

When the farm worker went to report the incident at the Elandslaagte Police Station, he was not able to press the bell because he had been handcuffed by the suspects, who had robbed and assaulted him. He did not shout for help and the South African Police Service (SAPS) members In the CSC were not aware of him standing at the gate. He then contacted a friend, who came and rang the bell. The farm worker was then assisted by the SAPS.

1. The Labour Relations Act, section 35-37 regulates the establishment of bargaining councils in the public service. The legislation provides for the establishment of the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC). It allows the PSCBC to designate Sectors. One of those sectors is the General Public Service Sector Bargaining Council (GPSSBC). As per the designation of the GPSSBC, the Department of Higher Education falls within the scope of the GPSSBC. The GPSSBC established Chambers for all of the National and Provincial Governments falling within their scope. Also for the Department of Higher Education.

1. The following conditions have been placed on the receipt of funding by students through the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) Bursary Scheme:

• In the first year of study, the student must attend and participate in lectures, tutorials and academic support programmes as required by the institution; complete all set assignments and/or tasks as required in terms of the due performance requirements of the institution; undergo all tests and examinations (written and oral) as required; obtain satisfactory results for these assignments, tasks, tests and examinations and meet the academic progression requirements (as described below);
• In the second and subsequent years, the student shall be required to meet all the conditions stated above, as well as participate in a minimum of 10 (ten) days or 80 (eighty) hours of community service or special project work, of the student’s own choosing from a wide range of possibilities, at any time during the year where they do not have classes or tutorials to attend, submit a written report confirming participation once a year; and
• All students funded must undertake to remain in the country and participate in the economy, for at least the number of years they have benefitted from NSFAS funding; if they wish to undertake further studies in another country, this will be permitted provided they undertake to return to South Africa to fulfil this obligation. However, students wishing to emigrate before the expiry of the commitment period shall be required to pay back the funds before they leave the country. These service requirements will be finalised for implementation in 2019.

The academic progression requirements for continued funding state that the student must satisfy the minimum progression requirements of the institution, as well as passing a minimum 50% (fifty percent) of all courses in the first year of study, and passing sufficient courses in subsequent years to enable them to complete their studies in the minimum number of years plus one year, N+1 rule.

2. No provision has been made for the repayment of the bursary should the student fail or drop-out. The only provision for repayment is when a funded student emigrates from South Africa.

3. A copy of the agreement is attached as Annexure A.

1. The Department has monitorin the Community Learning Centres (CLCs) since 2017,has undertaken lecturer roadshows from January 2018 to February 2018. In these engagements with CLCs, the following factors were attributed to the low enrolment numbers:

• Delay in the certification of students:

There are challenges with the data from the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) system for certifying students who have written the General Education and Training Certificate (GETC): Adult Basic Education and Training qualification. The SITA system is unable to consolidate the results of students who have written individual subjects over a number of examination cycles. An examination forum inclusive of officials from the Department’s Community Education and Training (CET) branch, CET colleges, Provincial Education Departments (PEDs), SITA and the National Assessment and Examination unit has been established to deal with the challenges identified.

• Inadequate provision of learning and teaching support materials:

There is an inadequate college budget allocated for the provision of Learning and Teaching Support Materials (LTSM) to students. The procurement of LTSM takes place through the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, which is slow and results in students not getting their LTSM on time. Engagements are taking place between TVET colleges and the Department to address these issues. In addition, training is taking place for the requisition of goods and services by CET colleges so that they have a clear understanding of the supply chain management processes within TVET colleges.

• Demoralised lecturers due to the non-resolution of conditions of service:

There is an inadequate allocation for the Compensation of Employees budget for the standardisation and improvement of conditions of service. The lack of resolution or finalisation of the standardisation and improvement of conditions of service causes tensions and conflicts within CET colleges and demoralises lecturers. Funding bids have been submitted to National Treasury to address the standardisation and improvement of conditions of service.

• Learning space/infrastructure that is not conducive for students to learn:

Given that a number of the community learning centres are located in primary schools, with furniture tailor-made for young children; this poses a problem for the youth and adults attending these classes. The lack of CET infrastructure means that facilities, such as ablution facilities are locked when classes commence late in the afternoon or early evening resulting in students not having access to basic amenities within the host school. There are continuous engagements with PEDs and the CET colleges have begun a process of identifying closed schools and unused government infrastructure.

2. (a) The drop in the number of learners studying at CET colleges is a matter of concern since it negatively affects the overall objective of increasing access and success. The Department has undertaken the following steps:

• a national teaching and learning improvement plan has been put in place to address poor performance;
• budget bids have been submitted to National Treasury for additional funding on the baseline to address inadequate learning and teaching support materials;
• an examinations forum has been established with PEDs to address delays in certification;
• proposals on the conditions of service have been developed, which require funding and negotiations within the appropriate bargaining chamber for finalisation; and
• engagement with the Department of Public Works for the possible use of underutilised and unused infrastructure.

(b) The above steps are at various stages of implementation:

• the current financial year is the second year of implementing the teaching and learning improvement plan;
• budget bids were submitted to National Treasury in 2017 without any success;
• the examinations forum held its first meeting in the first quarter of 2018;
• the establishment of a bargaining structure for Community Education and Training is on course; and
• the identification of alternative infrastructure is an ongoing process.

(c) A turnaround due to different interventions is expected within the 2018 Medium Term Expenditure Framework period.

3. CET colleges develop strategic and annual plans, including interventions regarding teaching and learning. The performance of students at each college is informed by the implementation of their improvement plans, the calibre of lecturers in the college and provision of leadership with regards to teaching and learning. These factors are reflected in the various monitoring reports undertaken by the Department. The National Policy on Curriculum Development and Implementation, and National Improvement Plan focuses on specific interventions to be undertaken on poor performing subjects, as well as national interventions on the training of lecturers. The improvement in the pass rate for languages in the learning areas can be attributed to the implementation of the National Improvement Plan.

Fighting corruption is a major part of the focus of the Administration, and as shown by research results previously released, corruption can have a damaging effect on economic growth and job creation. Lifestyle audits can play an important part in identifying corruption and following the President’s pronouncement on the matter, consideration is being given to lifestyle audits in circumstances where on a risk-analysis basis, it is warranted or may assist with the fight against corruption. Neither the department nor its entities have conducted lifestyle audits in the past three financial years. The department and its entities will implement any directive issued by the relevant government agency.

Until such a directive has been finalised, the following anti-corruption and conflict of interest arrangements apply:

In respect of the Department, government has put in place a Financial Disclosure Framework for all Middle Management Staff (MMS), Senior Management Staff (SMS) and all employees entrusted with public funds. The framework is aimed at preventing conflict of interests by requiring designated employees to disclose their financial interests. The said are required to disclose their shares and other financial interests held in any private or public company or any other corporate entity recognised by law.

The said employees are also required to disclose their directorships, partnerships, the name, and type of business activity, of the corporate entity or partnership and the amount of any remuneration received for such directorship or partnership.

In respect of Minister and Deputy Minister, an Executive Disclosure and Parliamentary Disclosure framework is in place.

The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) has set out its Fraud Prevention Policy and Plan in Annexure N to the IDC Corporate Plan (2018/19 – 2022/23). The IDC ensures comprehensive background checking is carried out on prospective employees, including at least verification of previous employment details, academic qualifications, citizenship and the existence or otherwise of a criminal record. We act within the relevant legal prescripts in this regard. The IDC also has recently implemented procedures to ensure comprehensive background checking is carried out on potential service providers. The Corporation embraces a “know your supplier” culture, which minimises financial crime in procurement and simultaneously makes the Corporations zero tolerance culture towards financial crime visible to service providers.

The Competition Commission has a Declaration of Financial Interests policy in terms of which all employees are required, on an annual basis and whenever there is a change during the year, to declare their financial interests such as ownership of shares in companies, directorships and trusteeships in companies and trusts, as well as ownership of properties. The policy also requires employees to declare any gifts they receive during the year. The Auditor-General, as part of its annual audit, requires members of the senior management team of the Competition Commission to submit information on related parties, ie close family members and business associates. The Auditor-General interrogates the information by ascertaining whether any of the service providers who did business with the Competition Commission during the financial year are linked to related parties of senior management.

For the Competition Tribunal, all part-time members are required to declare any conflict of interest on the court record before they attend a hearing. The Tribunal has an anti-fraud policy in place and all employees, consultants and contractors are required to sign an anti-fraud charter, and all staff sign a Supply Chain Management (SCM) disclosure on an annual basis.

For ITAC, in terms of their HR policies and procedures, all employees are required to disclose their financial interests annually by completing the ITAC Financial Disclosure Forms which must be approved by the Chief Commissioner. In case of the Chief Commissioner, his form is signed by an EXCO member. In addition, ITAC has a Fraud Prevention Policy aimed at setting the tone against any acts of corruption in the workplace.

1. The Departmental Internal Audit unit works on an approved plan and the same with forensic through allegations. Accordingly, a lifestyle audit would be prompted through an allegation or from an assessment that would follow from the financial disclosures that the National Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) does and this would come through Deputy Director-General: Corporate Services who is responsible for disclosures.

2. No lifestyle audit has been done in the last three financial years.

The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) and the Economic Development Department has on an on-going basis considered the impact of the price preference system (PPS) for scrap metals, which looked inter alia at declared levels of exports, feedback from individual companies affected by the PPS and consideration of the efficacy of the rules that are in place.

The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) is responsible for the administration of the price preference system (PPS) and therefore the export control guidelines (rules) that are used to administer the Price Preference System (PPS) for scrap metal.

ITAC identified a set of challenges in the administration of the PPS that related to abuse and circumvention of the policy intent of the PPS and decided to review the guidelines.

On 11 December 2015 ITAC published proposed amendments to the PPS guidelines and throughout the first half of 2016, I am advised that it engaged extensively in a process of consultation with industry. In the second half of 2016 ITAC began to engage the department on its final determination on the amendments.

During 2016 and 2017, the Department in turn engaged with some investors in the metal manufacturing sector on the operation of the PPS and ITAC commissioned additional research. The Department reported on the trade statistics regarding scrap metal to Parliament in September 2017, which showed a 60% decline in the export of scrap metal between 2014 and 2016. During 2017 and 2018 the State has been reviewing an appropriate action in respect of the PPS to ensure that government policy deepens local beneficiation into the future.

The department is of the view that the ITAC amendments to the guidelines would strengthen the administration of the PPS.

The amendments by ITAC to the PPS guidelines have been finalised. ITAC will determine a suitable date of implementation, taking into account, at a policy level, the review of the PPS by government.

Walter Sisulu University (WSU) has provided the following responses to the questions posed:

1. WSU utilises 41 houses and 139 flats in Mthatha, 1 flat in East London and 13 houses in Butterworth for staff housing.

(a) WSU owns 34 houses in Mthatha, 13 houses in Butterworth and 1 flat in East London.

(b) 139 Flats are owned by the Eastern Cape Development Corporation (ECDC) and King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality (KSD). 6 Freestanding houses are owned by the ECDC and 1 by the KSD.

2. WSU has title deeds for some of the properties and is negotiating with the ECDC and Provincial Department of Public Works to obtain the rest. Before the establishment of WSU, most of the university properties were registered under the Department of Public Works when they were Colleges of Education. The transfer of such properties into WSU’s name has stalled at different levels of the bureaucracy, e.g. certain portions of the Butterworth campus has land claims attached to it, making it difficult to transfer the land to WSU.

3. Considerable effort has been made to facilitate the transfer of properties to WSU. Zamukulungisa and Butterworth sites are still owned by Department of Public Works, however both properties have been gazetted to be transferred to WSU. The process for transfer is currently between the Land Affairs department and State Attorney. WSU has also appointed its own independent attorneys to expedite the process. The ECDC has also been approached to facilitate the transfer of various WSU properties that are registered in the name of the ECDC.

b) (i) Any National Treasury employee who feels that he / she is the victim of sexual harassment has the right to seek redress without prejudice. The procedure for dealing with the reports / complaints has the following two stages:

The informal approach

This is the first phase. This includes speaking to the harasser preferably in the presence of the witness, describing the unwelcome behavior and asking for it to stop. The victim can also write a letter to the harasser outlining the unwelcome behaviour detailing where and how events occurred, the letter should be signed and dated and a copy kept.

A third party intervention can be used where the aggrieved party is not comfortable in approaching the harasser personally. A shop steward or any neutral employee could approach the harasser on behalf of the victim and could mediate the matter informally. The Human Resources Management unit or a trusted colleague could also intervene and mediate.

The formal approach

The victim may lay a grievance against the perpetrator and follow the National Treasury’s grievance and disciplinary procedures. If this process fails, a statutory conciliation may be considered, which is a process by which a neutral person from a bargaining council assist the parties to reach an agreement. The Labour Court can adjudicate when none of the above processes yield a result with which both parties are satisfied.

Victims could institute a civil claim and sue the harasser and lay a charge under criminal law at the same time as they pursue labour procedures when the sexual harassment is rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.

(ii) The disciplinary code and procedure and the relevant resolutions of the PSCBC and GPSSBC will apply when discipline takes place.

1. In terms of the Identification Act, 1997, (Act No.68 of 1997) all citizens and permanent residents shall have a unique identity number which shall not be shared with any other person. However the department has identified that there are persons who share identity numbers and those who have multiple identity numbers.

Duplicated identity numbers emanated from the amalgamation of homelands including Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei (TBVC) states. Prior to 1994, South Africa had different population registers with different enabling documents (e.g. birth certificates, reference books, book of life). The same applies to processes that were applied when taking fingerprints, coupling of identity numbers with reference number and safekeeping of records. After 1994, the department took a decision to centralize all fingerprints and other records from TBVC states in order to have one National Population Register and one Home Affairs National Identification System (HANIS).

With reference to this question, different identity numbers registered for one person falls within the category of one person having multiple identity numbers, and may possibly have been caused by one of the following:

• Reference books cases where an applicant was automatically issued with an identity number without their knowledge.
• Previously identity numbers were allocated or issued without taking fingerprints and/or verification thereof.
• During birth registration period (The child may have been registered by a guardian or informant while the parents were not staying with the children).

Accordingly, all those identity numbers which are associated with duplicate identity numbers will be cancelled and removed from the National Population Register.

2. The total number of multiple identity numbers on the department’s database is 155 679.

3. Cleaning up the database is a continuous process as and when citizens present themselves. Meanwhile, to stop further occurrences of duplication, the Department:

• During October 2013, in pursuance of its overall objective of helping address the challenges created by duplicate IDs, made an announcement of a process to invalidate duplicate IDs. The implication of invalidation is that such identity numbers will no longer be valid.
• has embarked on enforcing legislation on parents to register children’s birth within 30 days of birth, hence DHA working close with hospitals by stationing DHA officials at connected hospitals to register newly born children before they leave the hospital.
• tasked CSIR to research the possibility of taking fingerprints of newly born children to secure their identity from birth
• recently launched the Automated Biometric Identification System that should assist with the elimination of duplicate identity numbers henceforth.

I have been advised by the CEO of the IDC, Mr G Qhena that 128 Companies have become beneficiaries of the Black Industrialist Programme since 1 April 2017. The name of each of the beneficiaries of the Black Industrialist Programme and value approved is attached in Annexure A.

The list provides details of approvals from 1 April 2017, in line with the decision to disclose IDC business partners from 1 April 2017 onwards. Since 1 April 2017, the IDC publishes the names of all beneficiaries of funding.

In the interest of transparency, I wish to draw attention to the availability of the full list of all recipients, not only Black Industrialists, for the financial year ending 31 March 2018, which may be found on the IDC website at:
