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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(1)	(a)	The position was advertised in the Sunday Times, shortlisted candidates were interviewed and the successful candidate was required to undergo a psychometric test. The preferred candidate was then referred to the Minister of DPE for appointment. This was in line with Alexkor’s recruitment and selection process.
	(b)	26 February 2017
	(c)	(i)	The names of the candidates who applied for the position is in the possession of the Department and the members are welcome to request sight of said list. The challenge in publicly disclosing the names is that application for these level positions is done on a confidential basis, and disclose may negatively affect the current employment relationship of the applicants. Besides, the disclosure cannot be done without the candidates giving the Department consent to disclose their names.
		(ii)	As per (1)(c)(i) above
	(d)	(i)	CA (SA) with commercial experience, preferably within mining
		(ii)	Diamond and coal mining experience will be an advantage
		(iii)	At least 5 years’ experience relating to managing finance operational teams
		(iv)	Experience in an Executive Management position would be an advantage
		(v)	Comprehensive understanding and proven track record in the implementation of PFMA and Treasury Regulations (3 years SOC/SOE experience would be an advantage)
	(e)	(i)	Ms M Lehobye	(Member of the Board of Directors)
		(ii)	Mr T Matona	(Member of the Board of Directors)
		(iii)	Mr S Danana	(Member of the Board of Directors)
		(iv)	Ms Z Ntlangula	(Member of the Board of Directors)
		(v)	Dr R Paul	(Advisor to the Board of Directors)
	(e)	The names of the selection and interview panel for this position have been disclosed to the Department; however, due to the confidential nature of this information, no further details will be disclosed.
(2)	The question was not asked during the interview with the candidate whether there was any litigation process that she was involved in. At the time the offer of appointment was made in August 2017, the information relating to the litigation was public knowledge.

Reply:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 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). The aim is to safeguard and meet the interests and requirements of present and future electricity customers and end users.

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.

b) (i),(ii) The competency for this function lies with a municipality in terms of Section 24 of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (Act No 16 of 2013). A municipality as part of its land use scheme is required to record the use of land as part of its land use scheme. Therefore, the DRDLR Deeds Office does not have records of information on the various land use parcels in the municipalities.

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).

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.

b) (i) and (ii) The Department seeks to amend the Tourism Act 3, 2014 to provide for:

• Improved governance of SAT
• Implementation of the national grading system
• Professionalisation of the tourist guiding sector

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) 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

(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.
