Sonti, Ms NP to ask the Minister of Health

(a) What is the (i) name and (ii) location of each hospital in the country that has experienced an electricity shortage in (aa) 2017 and (bb) 2018 and (b) on what date did the electricity shortage (i) start and (ii) come to an end in each case?

Reply:

All health facilities including hospitals and clinics in the country do have electricity supply system except for those that are listed in the attached Annexure 1. However, like any other services when there are interruptions from time to time for various reasons such as system breakdowns, etc. standby generator(s) of the facility kicks in and allow the operation of the facilities to continue. All hospitals do have backup generators and those Primary Health Care facilities that do not have backup generators are as reflected in Annexure 1. Since power interruptions are at operational level for a short span of time, it is not necessary to keep detailed recording of these activities at the National Department of Health.

Profile picture: Esterhuizen, Mr JA

Esterhuizen, Mr JA to ask the Minister of Economic Development

What (a) is the rationale behind Government’s imposition of import duties on imported steel and (b) has he found to be the impact of the import duties on the amount of steel that was imported in the (i) 2016-17 and (ii) 2017-18 financial years?

Reply:

a) The rationale behind Government’s imposition of import duties on imported steel was to protect local steel manufacturing capacity from the surge of imports resulting from the global oversupply of steel.

South Africa is the only African country with this manufacturing capability and the steel industry is strategic to the country, given its linkages with other sectors of the economy.

The extremely low-priced imports of primary steel products originating mainly from Asia were harming local steel producers, as demonstrated by declining market shares, reduction in sales and production volumes, low capacity utilisation, declining employment and investments. The local producers were in a deteriorating competitive position in part attributable to escalating costs. Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium Ltd, the sole domestic manufacturer of heavy structural steel, ceased manufacturing and filed for business rescue.  When industry applied to the State for assistance, Government considered the application and approved a request for increased import duties.

In the case of the largest steel producer, government placed a reciprocal commitment on the company to increase its level of capital spending in order to improve its overall competitiveness; and the company agreed to save jobs that would otherwise have been lost as a result of retrenchments.

b) The overall impact of duties on the amount of steel imported into the domestic industry has been positive between the 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial years. This is evident from the decline in import volumes of flat and long steel products over the periods mentioned (see below table). However, imports of certain coated flat steel (galvanised) products are showing an increasing trend. This may be due to the importation of niche products and ultra-thin galvanised flat products which are not locally manufactured or they may reflect in part a circumvention of duties by importers. ITAC has been requested to monitor this and to take appropriate steps where warranted.

Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Energy

With reference to his statement on 1 June 2018 in which he stated that the two coal Independent Power Producers (IPPs) would give rise to at least 5 000 jobs during construction (details furnished), (a) where did he obtain this figure and (b) can he verify it, as the figures provided by the coal IPPs are different?

Reply:

In terms of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for coal IPPs, the preferred bidders bid the following in terms of job creation:

 

Project 1

Project 2

Total

Jobs during Construction (person years)*

7 943

2 377

10 320

Jobs during Operations (person years)

10 678

4 626

15 304

Total jobs in person years

18 621

7 003

25 624

*(Person years: 1 job = 12 person-months and 1 person-month = 160 working hours)

The quantification of job creation is calculated in terms of the above formula stipulated in the RFP. If one were to assume the Construction period to be 4 years with the Operations period being 30 years, the total direct jobs during Construction would be equivalent to having approximately 2 580 people working for 4 years during Construction and approximately 510 people working for 30 years during Operations. However, since jobs are provided in job years as per the RFP, the figures are likely to be understated given workers who are employed for less than one year, especially during the construction phase.

Furthermore, these job numbers directly associated with the coal IPP plants do not include the indirect jobs created as a result of the new mine which one of the Projects will be dependent on as well as the jobs created in relation to the discard coal supply which the other Project will be utilising. The job numbers further exclude indirect job creation in respect of factors such as manufacturing and limestone supply.

Profile picture: Dlamini, Mr MM

Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Energy

What steps have been or will be taken to address the impact of coal Independent Power Producers (IPPs) on Eskom, in view of the fact that Eskom may have to close certain of its own coal plants early to meet the offtake requirements of the coal IPPs, and even earlier in a low greenhouse gas emission scenario, and will be faced with having to sell electricity at very high prices in circumstances where more and more electricity consumers are defecting from the grid?

Reply:

Eskom is not closing its own coal plants early as a result of offtake requirements of the coal IPPs. Eskom’s policy on the decommissioning of its fleet is informed by an optimal balance of cost efficiencies, reduced capacity and carbon emission considerations. Eskom’s planned decommissioning of the Arnot, Camden, Grootvlei, Hendrina, Komati coal-fired power stations was already projected in the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2010 which indicated that the decommissioned capacity would be replaced by approximately 8 800MW new Coal Generation capacity through Kusile and Medupi. The efficiency of Eskom’s older coal-fired power plants have deteriorated rapidly and these plants cost substantially more to operate, resulting in a spill-over into tariff increases.

Standard impact mitigation measures at a local and regional level can be planned on the basis of Paris Agreement and OECD just transition principles which are largely based on the International Labour Organisation (ILO) just transition guidelines.

Government’s energy policy is, among others, premised on a balanced energy mix recognizing our country’s natural endowment of energy carriers, including coal., Government’s policy also supports techno-economic solutions for power production from environmentally hazardous discard coal stock-piled over years above ground. Notably, one such solution is presented by one of the coal IPP projects as a first of kind in South Africa.

Government’s policy position to reduce carbon emissions as well as continue with the new build coal plants, contained in its 2015 submitted Nationally Determined Contributions, remains unchanged.

Profile picture: Mokoena, Mr L

Mokoena, Mr L to ask the Minister of Economic Development

What has he found to be the impact of petrol price increases on the economy?

Reply:

Changes in the prices of petrol, diesel and other fuels are published by the Central Energy Fund on their website: http://www.cefgroup.co.za/petrol-price/.

As of 6 June 2018, the price of both grades of Petrol (i.e. unleaded and lead replacement) has increased by 82 cents per litre.

The change in the price of petrol is typically a function of both changes in international exchange rates (particularly the US Dollar-Rand exchange rate) and the change in international product prices (particularly crude oil).

For June 2018, the depreciation of the rand contributed roughly 30 cents of the increase in the price of petrol, while changes in the price of international product contributed roughly 52 cents to the increase. As an oil importing country, South Africa is unavoidably vulnerable to changes in international markets.

According to Stats SA, the price of fuel for consumers increased by 3.6% between April and May 2018, and 9.4% over the 12 months to May 2018. This is in line with petrol price inflation over the period since 2010.

This is expected to have both a short-term direct impact on inflation, and a long-term indirect impact on inflation. A study by the South African Reserve Bank, published in the Journal of Energy in Southern Africa in February 2017, found that a 10% year-on-year increase in the price of petrol resulted in a 1.2 percentage point increase in headline inflation across the economy over the long-run.

The cost of fuel has an important impact on overall inflation in the economy. These effects are both direct and indirect. Higher petrol prices directly impact the consumer in terms of higher fuel costs and higher public transportation costs. Higher petrol prices indirectly impact consumers, as an input cost, which will ultimately increase the cost for goods and services rendered.

Fuel prices also impact on the cost of production. The impact varies by sector. In a reply provided to parliament to a similar question, my colleague the Minister of Trade and Industry, discusses the direct and indirect impact on the manufacturing sector and current efforts to diversify sources of energy.

Fuel price inflation is challenging to manage, given that South Africa imports the bulk of its fuel and is therefore subject to changes in international market prices.

Fuel levies are applied to the price of fuel, and are used to raise funding for transport infrastructure. This investment in transport infrastructure reduces transport costs in the economy, which in turn enables more economic participation by businesses as well as households and in turn can moderate overall inflation.

Finally, it should be noted that according to an independent tracking service (www.globalpetrolprices.com), the price of petrol in South Africa at the pump is in line with the global average, and amongst the lowest when compared to non-oil-producing countries.

Reply:

All health facilities including hospitals and clinics in the country do have water supply services. However, like any other services there might be interruptions from time to time for various reasons such as breakdowns, drought, etc. in such cases temporary supply services, i.e water cartage takes place to remedy the emergency situation. Depending on the geographical location of the facilities, local authorities like municipalities do assist in emergency cases. Since such activities are at operational level for a short span of time, it is not necessary to keep detailed recording of these activities at the National Department of Health.

2. The Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 (EEA) compels all employers in South Africa to promote equal opportunity in the workplace, eliminate discrimination in their policies or in practice, and implement affirmative action measures. These interventions are in line with Section 9 of the Constitution which had given Government the responsibility to enact anti-discrimination laws, including EEA. The SOCs in the DPE portfolio have ensured compliance with EEA including ensuring that there is an Employment Equity Plan (EEP) in place and that it is vigorously implemented. The increased representation of EEA Designated Groups in the statistics above is testimony to this.

The Company has 151 Pilots (77% whites, 4.63% Indians, 1.98% Coloured and 16, 55% Africans). The Cadet Pilot programme aims to provide a strategic transformation tool, both in the Airline and in the industry but funding remains a huge challenge as the Airline is responsible for sourcing its own funding in order to meet this objective as per mandate from the shareholder.

Reply:

(a) Please refer to Annexure A.

(b) The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR), is leading the implementation of the Agri-parks programme, which aims on transforming the rural economy through agricultural production and processing in the rural areas. Central to the Agri-parks programme is the establishment of Farmer Production Support Units (FPSUs), which are the first line of contact for farmers. Fully equipped mechanization centres are a main feature of the FPSUs.

In relation to the mechanization centres, government provides the equipment and machinery for the benefit of all surrounding farmers for their mechanization requirements. DRDLR has identified FPSUs in all local municipalities in the Eastern Cape, and out of the identified FPSUs in the Province, each district had to select the two prioritised FPSUs per district. The equipment is delivered at strategic points to enhance the production in support of the Agri-parks programme. Areas that have been identified for beneficiation were selected based on their active involvement in agricultural primary production. Benefiting farmers are ranging from communal, subsistence and small holder farmers mainly in the Sarah Baartman District.
