Cassim, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
(a) What is the total number of vacancies that currently exists in each branch of the SA National Defence Force, (b) what are the salary levels of the specified vacancies and (c) what amount in remuneration packages will be needed to fill the vacancies?
Reply:
National Treasury’s (NT) final letter of allocation dated 6 February 2017 to the Department of Defence (DOD) confirmed the total allocation towards the payment of compensation for the FY2017/18 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period and has been reduced by R5.5 billion.
Parliament has not reduced the operational commitments of the SANDF and therefore the SANDF cannot withdraw from external and internal deployments without Cabinet approval. It can also not reduce the number of personnel due to the fact that operational commitments will have to be discontinued.
(a) What is the total vacancies that currently exists in each branch of the SANDF?
In the light of the above the DOD maintains its HR strength as on 1 April 2017 (76,645) for the FY2017/18 that resulted in a projected over-expenditure of Rb1,4. These challenges were communicated to NT in numerous communique as well as the monthly Early Warning report. Therefore the DOD does not have vacant funded posts but 29,428 vacant unfunded posts.
(b) What are the salary levels of the specified vacancies?
These vacancies exist in all levels in the DOD, military and civilian.
(c) What amount in remuneration packages will be needed to fill the vacancies?
It will cost the DOD approximately Rb10 to fill these vacancies.

Reply:
Question 1a.
What were goods and services with a transaction value of more than R500 000 procured through an unfair competitive bidding process in contravention of the National Treasury Regulations 16A3.2 (a) and (b):
Response
The goods and services related to this audit finding is the Through Life Capability Management (TLCM) Implementation Project.
Question 1(b)
What consequence management was applied in this instance?
Although the decisions were taken by a project team and bidding committee level, the process advisors should have underscored the ambiguity of section 5 of the SCM Practice Note No 3 of 2003, to inform consultation with National Treasury prior to award. In this regard Director Matériel Governance, Risk and Compliance was held responsible for this irregular expenditure and was given a letter of admonishment because there was no display of malicious intent or intentional deviation from the process.

Bara, Mr M R to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
Whether military hospitals are considered as critical infrastructure and, therefore, classified as National Key Points; if so, are all the measures in place to fulfil the prescribed requirements and the concomitant budget allocation?
Reply:
Yes, Military hospitals are critical infrastructure to the Department of Defence and Military Veterans.
The Military Hospitals are not promulgated as National Key Points, but are classified as strategic Military installations requiring more stringent security measures.
The budget allocation to the SAMHS is determined by the total demands and requirements of the entire Department of Defence which as reported is grossly underfunded. The Department has however put measures in place to maintain the operational readiness and integrity of the SANDF even under conditions of limited resources.

Esau, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
According to the findings of the Auditor-General of South Africa for the 2015-16 financial year which were reported during the 2016-17 financial year, (a) why were certain contracts extended or modified without the approval of a properly delegated official as stipulated by National Treasury Instruction Note 32 and (b) what consequence management was applied in this instance?
Reply:
Question 1a.
Why were certain contracts extended or modified without the approval of a properly delegated official as stipulated by National treasury Instruction Note 32
Response
In terms of Paragraph 3.3 of the National Treasury Practice Note 5 of 2009/2010 for SITA procurements of goods and services the procurement officer obtained a letter from SITA giving the DOD permission to continue to procure on its own as one of the options. SITA response was deemed sufficient proof that SITA as an organ of the Minister of DPSA is officially delegated to approve such authority. Taking into account the aforementioned, an additional approval was not obtained from the Minister of DPSA nor any other official from DPSA.
Question 1b.
What consequence management was applied in this instance?
Based on the process that was followed and that SITA gave the DOD the option to procure using the DOD procurement process, no DOD member was held liable for the irregular expenditure.

Gqada, Ms T to ask the Minister of Energy
What are the full reasons for the delays in the implementation of the National Solar Water Heater Programme; 2) Whether his department has established working relationships with municipalities to roll out the implementation of the specified programme; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the (a) nature of the relationship that his department has with municipalities,(b) Meetings that have taken place to date; and (c) Decisions that have been made to date resulting from these meetings; 3) Whether he has found that the municipalities are willing to participate in the programme even though it is not generating revenue; if not, what steps has his department taken to encourage participation in the programme; 4) Whether he has found that municipalities have the capacity to support the programme; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the support that the municipalities are providing?
Reply:
In the main the implementation of the National Solar Water Heater (SWH) Programme has been delayed by the need to and meetings, and agree with critical stakeholders such as the municipalities.
1) (a) Following the consultation referred to in (1) above, collaboration with participating municipalities has now been formalised through the signing of Municipal Framework Agreements.
(b) The Department convened consultative meetings with the following municipalities:
- Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (on 03/03/2017);
- Ventersdorp/Tlokwe Local Municipality (on 30/03/2017);
- Bitou Local Municipality (on 09/05/2017);
- uMgungundlovu District Municipality (on 13/11/2017);and
- eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality (on 14/11/2017).
(c) The meetings resolved that:
- Municipalities will:
- Select and propose to the Department the areas in which SWHs will be installed;
- Identify government owned warehouses that are in close proximity to the installation areas;
- Submit databases of job-seekers that reside within, or are closer to, the targeted beneficiary communities; and
- Fast-track the outstanding Municipal Framework Agreements (where applicable).
- The Department will send to the municipalities the technical standards, specification and requirements which will apply to the SWH(s) that are compatible with the climatic conditions of the Designated Installation Areas(s).
3) The municipalities are willing to participate in the Programme particularly because the targeted households are in the main low income segments who also benefit from free basic energy programmes.
4) Most municipalities that the Department has engaged to date have demonstrated capacity to support the programme in accordance with the municipal obligations contained in the Municipal Framework Agreement. For example, some municipalities have provided the Department with the list of installation areas as well as the database of job-seekers, The Department continues to consult and support municipalities that are lagging behind in terms of fulfilling their obligations.

Groenewald, Dr PJ to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
(1) Whether her department gave permission for the removal of a MiG-21 jet fighter from the Air Force Museum and donating it to Angola; if so, (a) what is the reason for that, (b) whether all legal requirements were met and (c) whether the SA Heritage Resources Agency (i) was consulted regarding the donation and (ii) gave its consent; (2) whether she will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
(1) Yes the Department gave permission for the removal of a Mig-21 jet fighter from the Air Force Museum. The aircraft was not donated but returned back to its original owners since it belongs to the Angolans.
(a) The Aircraft was not donated but returned back to the Angolans, this is evident in the history of the Aircraft.
(b) Yes all legal requirements were met since all necessary documentation including necessary authority for the movement of Arms across the boarders was acquired from the Arms Control Board as regulated.
(c) There was no need to contact the SA Heritage Resource Agency for equipment that does not belong to the country since the aircraft belongs to the Angolans and was just returned back to its original owners.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE AIRCRAFT
On 14 December 1989 a Mig-21 Bis Fishbed serial number C340 of the Angolan Air Force flown by Lieutenant Domingos José de Almeida Vinez took off from the airfield at Lubango on a routine ferry flight from Lubango to the airfield at Menogue. The aircraft climbed to altitude on a general heading of 90 degrees magnetic.
On a number of occasions, the aircraft entered clouds and upon regaining visual contact with the ground, the Pilot was no longer able to orientate himself as to his position. After a while he elected to divert to Cuito Cuanavale. Continuing on his present course, the aircraft began giving the pilot a low fuel warning at which time, he elected to attempt an emergency landing.
After preparing the aircraft for the forced landing, he selected an open field and executed a near perfect “normal” landing near Otjiwarongo in South West Africa (Namibia) and the aircraft sustained only minor damage. The Mig-21 bis was then taken by the South African government and is presently at the SAAF Museum.
The Apartheid South Africa cannot claim any historical war significance to this Air Craft for the following reason: (1) The Air Craft was not captured during the border War between South Africa and Angola, as this was during the UN resolution 435 of Namibia which was adopted on 01 April 1989, with called for the withdrawal of South African forces from Namibia, the cease fire agreement and the establishment of the UN supervised elections, i.e. United Nations Transitional Assistance Group (UNTAG).

Maynier, Mr D to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether he has entered into any discussion about reinstituting the Counter Money Laundering Advisory Council; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Yes, a meeting was held with the Minister of Justice and officials regarding the implementation of the Financial Intelligence Amendment Act, which included a discussion on the consultative mechanisms to replace Counter Money Laundering Advisory Council. At the meeting it was agreed that an Inter-Departmental Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism Forum be set up to operate initially, to improve the quality of consultation for implementation, after which we will consider how best to legislate such consultation forums.
The mandate of the Committee would be to promote discussion, collaboration and coordination between the relevant law enforcement agencies, government departments and regulatory authorities to ensure that the South African authorities are more effective in implementing both the spirit and letter of the complete legal framework against money laundering and terrorist financing. In addition, a consultative structure to facilitate engagements with accountable institutions in the private sector is also being established, with a Banking Sector AML/CFT Steering Committee already having been established. Treasury has published a consultation document to seek public comments on these new consultation mechanisms We will monitor how well these consultation forums work over the year or two, and thereafter make a decision on how best to formalize the consultation forums.
There is therefore no intention to legislate for the continuation of the CMLAC, as we want to deepen and improve our consultative mechanisms to strengthen implementation. The CMLAC played a significant role in the drafting of the initial regulations of the FIC Act when it was first enacted in 2003, but was not as effective as a forum for implementation. This was pointed out in the explanatory memo of the Amendment Bill when it was tabled in Parliament in 2015.

Kalyan, Ms SV to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
(a) What is the total number of supplier invoices that currently remain unpaid by (i) her department and (ii) each entity reporting to her for more than (aa) 30 days, (bb) 60 days, (cc) 90 days and (dd) 120 days and (b) what is the total amount outstanding in each case?
Reply:
DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY VETERANS
DMV strives to pay suppliers within 30 days. There was no recorded outstanding payment to SMMEs as at 31 October 2017. However, for well established companies, there is still a challenge with processing some of the invoices due to the following challenges at DMV:
- DMV is not yet using LOGIS (Logical Information System)
- Lack of a computerized system leads to lack of proper tracking system
- For travel related invoices, approvers are often out office leading to delays in the approval of invoices for payment (linked to manual approval processes).
- Lack of capacity to manage the volume of invoices related to Travel
As per the tablelink below (DMV UNPAID INVOICES AS AT 31 OCTOBER 2017), challenging accounts are Vodacom, Travel with Flair and SITA. The challenge is historical backlog, however, the Department is working hard to resolve these.
http://pmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/RNW3566DMV_UNPAID.pdf
Furthermore, as at 30 September 2017, DMV account with other Government Departments had an outstanding balance of R60.5m mainly related provisioning of healthcare Support by SAHMS (R50.5m) as well as the provisioning of Housing by Human Settlement (R10m). see link below

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE

The main reasons for these invoices not paid relates to the invoices being received late and then the processes to verify the correctness forces the invoices into the category of more than 30 days. Invoices in the categories of 90 to 120 days mostly relates to invoices where the verification process to confirm legitimacy takes longer due to disputes and geographical location of some units. It remains critical that all controls are continuously exercised to ensure that only verified legitimate invoices are paid.
MILITARY OMBUD
The Office of the Military Ombud has one (1) invoice under Item 20, Serial Number 20018925 (Food & Drinks: Office and Meetings) valued at R15,667.80 that has not been paid for more than sixty (60) days.

What amount of the department's budget in terms of (a) monetary value and (b) as a percentage of the department's budget is spent in (i) townships and (ii) in areas that used to be within the former Bantustans?
Reply:
The Department of Sport and Recreation South Africa spends its allocated budget against line items such as Compensation of Employees, Goods and Services, Transfers to Provinces and Federations, as well as Capital Expenditure.
The Department’s budget is prepared in line with the common budget template that is applicable to all departments. This template does not provide for the divisions that the Honourable Member is seeking. It will however be of interest to the Honourable Member to note that almost 50% of the departmental budget is a grant that is transferred to provinces. In this regard 40% of this budget is allocated to School Sport and 20% to Club Development. Of these allocations, 50% of it has to be spent in the rural areas.

Reply:
The Number of graduates and other qualifications were 50 for the 2016/17 academic year as per DMV 2016/17 annual report.
(b) The total amount awarded will be difficult to calculate as some students were funded in the middle of their studies as they started before the education support was provided in the DMV. However, on an annual basis, students are funded within the maximum threshold, which was R68 000 per annum in the beggining, and subsequently increase to R72 000 in 2016.

(a) What is the capacity of the reserve Operational Emergency Care Practitioners, (b) has she found that this is a sustainable alternative, (c) was a cost-benefit analysis done in relation to having practitioners employed as permanent employees and (d) does the rule of the 180 days contract apply?

(c) The utilisation of operational emergency care practitioners from the Reserve Force are more cost beneficial. Furthermore the capability of Reserves also provides a strategic reserve capability to the country of scarce skills for emergency care treatment and assist in alleviating unemployment.

(a) What is the level of medical stock at 1 Military Hospital, (b) why has this indicator been removed in her department’s Annual Performance Plan and (c) what has she found is the direct impact of the medical stock level on soldiers and military veterans?

b) The performance indicator for the ‘Percentage availability of medical stock’ was not removed from the Annual Performance Plan of the Department of Defence. The performance information is merely indicated as classified information as the performance indicator contains information of strategic reserves of pharmaceuticals and medical consumables.
c) The current levels of medical stock could have an impact on soldiers and military veterans in the absence of management interventions and alternative interventions such as buy-outs.

Mbhele, Mr ZN to ask the Minister of Police
Whether any (a) company, (b) nonprofit organisation and/or (c) individual consultant has been awarded a contract to facilitate the public consultation process for the White Paper on Safety and Security; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (i) what is the name of the entity or individual, (ii) what was the monetary value of the tender awarded, (iii) on what date was the tender approved and (iv) what competitive bidding process was followed to ensure compliance with proper procurement procedures and a cost-effective outcome?
Reply:
The Civilian Secretrariat for Police Service (CSPS) has not awarded any contract to any company, nonprofit organisation or individual consultant to facilitate the public consultation process for the White Paper on Saftey & Security.
A consultant has been contracted by an International Development Partner, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), to provide technical assistance to the Civilian Secretariat to draft an implementation framework and related outputs for the White Paper on Safety and Security. The focus of this consultant’s assignment is research, which is complemented by a process of engagements accross different government sectors and spheres and with relevant civil society and academic role-players active in the violence and crime prevention sector.
The GIZ support to the CSPS is being provided in the framework of the ongoing South African-German cooperation programme on violence and crime prevention, the German contribution to which is implemented on behalf of the German government by GIZ. The programme is part of the bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
- The consultant’s name is Ms. Melanie Lue-Dugmore
- The value of the contract between GIZ and the consultant is up to a maximum of R280.000. GIZ is covering the costs of professional fees, while the Civilian Secretariat is covering the travel and accommodation costs of the consultant during the performance of the assignment.
- The contract period is from 18 August 2017 to 31 March 2018.
- The services of the consultant were procured by GIZ strictly in line with its standard procurement rules and regulations. The contract was awarded directly on the grounds of cost efficiency and highly suitable expertise based on the fact that the consultant had previously played an instrumental role in the development of the White Paper on Safety and Security as part of the team from the Consortium on Crime and Violence Prevention, which had originally been contracted by the Civilian Secretariat to assist in the drafting of the White Paper.
