Hlonyana, Ms NKF to ask the Minister of Economic Development
What (a) is the name of each of the beneficiaries of the Black Industrialist Programme and (b) was the value of each deal that was approved since its inception?
Reply:
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:

- Lack of human resource capacity to place officials at health facilities due to a reduced budget for compensation of employees;
- Lack of equipment ( IT related and furniture) and IT connectivity
- Inadequate number of vehicles to transport officials from offices to health facilities due to reduction in fleet services which were used to transport officials to health facilities.

Reply:
No, The Minister does not intend to retain Ms Myeni in his Office. The former Minister, Mr M J Maswanganyi intended to appoint her as his Special Advisor reporting directly to him. However, the appointment was never finalised as the Department had to request further information in relation to her academic qualifications for purpose of verification; which information was never submitted until the former Minister was removed. The removal of the former Minister meant that the process could not be finalized as the terms of office would have been linked.

b) Falls away. Even if the appointment was finalized it would have lapsed with the removal of former Minister Maswanyanyi

Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Economic Development
Did the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa appoint Genesis Analytics to conduct an assessment of the economic impact of the price preference system for scrap metal; if so, what are the relevant details of the (a) terms of reference, (b) costs and (c) findings of the assessment?
Reply:
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.

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.
2. Conditions of service for the Public Service are determined by the PSCBC. Sector Councils deal with Sector Specific issues that falls within the competency of the relevant Minister.
3. No such draft agreement was tabled in either of the Councils.
4. Such proposals will be dealt with through sector specific conditions of service.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)Whether there is a maintenance plan for staff housing facilities at the Walter Sisulu University; if so, will she provide Prof B Bozzoli with a copy of the maintenance plan; (2) what amount was (a) allocated towards and (b) actually spent on the maintenance of staff housing facilities in the (i) 2015-16, (ii) 2016-17 and (iii) 2017-18 financial years?
Reply:
The Walter Sisulu University (WSU) has provided the following responses to the questions posed:
1. WSU has a maintenance plan for all its facilities including staff accommodation. The maintenance plan for the Mthatha Campus is attached as Annexure A.
2. (a) Facilities operational expenses at WSU are combined and do not reflect each facility’s individual expense, e.g. staff houses, student residences, administration offices, laboratories, etc. Therefore, WSU cannot provide an amount that was allocated specifically to staff housing facilities in each of the stipulated financial years.
(b) Given that WSU does not separate their accounts according to facilities as indicated under 2(a) above, WSU is unable to provide details of expenditure on staff housing for the stipulated periods.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)What conditions have been placed on the receipt of funding by students from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) following the conversion of all student funding from loans to bursaries; (2) is provision made for repayment of the funding if the student (a) fails the course or (b) drops out; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) will she furnish Prof B Bozzoli with a copy of the new agreement that has been signed between NSFAS and student recipients?
Reply:
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.

Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)What are the reason(s) for the significant drop in the number of learners at level 4 at each community education and training college for the period 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2017, as illustrated by the number of learners sitting for examinations in language learning areas of 152 720 learners in 2015, 116 133 learners in 2016 and 73 076 learners in 2017; (2) whether she has found this drop in the numbers of learners studying through community education and training colleges to be a matter of concern; if so, (a) what steps does she intend to take to reverse this trend, (b) when will the specified steps be implemented and (c) to what extent should a turnaround be experienced; (3) whether there is any explanation from an operational point of view for the vast differences in the pass rates at community and education colleges for each year, as illustrated by the pass rates for the language learning areas of 46,0% in 2015, 62,9% in 2016 and 94,5% in 2017; if not, what would explain the vast differences; if so, what would the reason(s) be
Reply:
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.

Reply:
The Walter Sisulu University (WSU) has provided the following responses to the questions posed.
1. Staff Housing at WSU is allocated according to the Rules on Allocation of Accommodation:
(a) In the evaluation and allocation process for houses and/or flats, the Interim Staff Housing and Allocation Committee prioritises to the following staff members:
- New appointees living in a hotel/B&B with a spouse or partner and children.
- New appointees living in a hotel/B&B with a spouse or partner.
- New appointees living in a hotel/B&B.
- The following critical requirements or conditions of employment for:
- Executive Management;
- Exchange Lecturers;
- Academic Staff; and
- Scarce Skills Support Services Staff.
(b) Allocation of points according to Peromnes grades:
- Grade 1 = 17 points
- Grade 2 = 16 points
- Grade 3 = 15 points
- Grade 4 = 14 points
- Grade 5 = 13 points
- Grade 6 = 12 points
- Grade 7 = 11 points
- Grade 8 = 10 points
- Grade 9 = 9 points
- Grade 10 = 8 points
- Grade 11 = 7 points
- Grade 12 = 6 points
- Grade 13 = 5 points
- Grade 14 = 4 points
- Grade 15 = 3 points
- Grade 16 = 2 points
- Grade 17 = 1 point
(c) Allocation of points according to the years of service, i.e. one point per completed year of service to a maximum of 10 years.
(d) Allocation of points for dependents:
- (One point for a spouse living with the applicant staff member.
- One point per minor child living with the applicant staff member to a maximum of four children.
(e) In the event of there being parity on points between two or more applicants of equal rank, then preference will be given to the applicant who has:
- held his/her present grade longer; and/or
- the greater number of children in their household.
2. (a) The ranks include Executive Management, Exchange Lecturers, Academic Staff and Scarce Skills Support Services Staff.
(b) Annexure A provides a list of all staff members accommodated at university-owned properties.
3. (a) (i) There are 41 houses and 139 flats in Mthatha, 1 flat in East London and 13 houses in Butterworth.
(ii) The list of staff members occupying various houses and flats is attached as Annexure A.
(b) (i) The average monthly rent for tax purposes is R2 500 per person and income tax is based on this amount.
(ii) The average monthly cost recovered from staff is R300 per unit per month. Housing units have prepaid electricity meters and the individuals occupying the units pay for electricity themselves.
4. (a) Each staff member pays rental costs and in most properties, they pay electricity costs.
(b) The University pays for maintenance costs, rates and taxes, water and security.
5. Facilities operational expenses at WSU are combined and do not reflect each facility’s individual expense, such as staff houses, student residences, administration offices and laboratories. Since the expenses incurred on staff housing are not separately allocated to a cost centre, WSU cannot provide a comprehensive or consolidated account of expenditure on staff houses in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial years.
It is also important to report that the staff housing allocation at the Mthatha Campus of WSU is currently a subject of a forensic investigation instituted in March 2018.

Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Economic Development
(1) Whether his department has received any recommendations on amendments to the price preference system (PPS) for scrap metal from the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa; if so, (a) on what date were the recommendations submitted, (b) what are the details of the recommendations, (c) what is the position of his department regarding the recommendations and (d) by what date will the amendments to the PPS be finalised?
Reply:
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.

Reply:
1. Yes.
a) Not applicable.
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.
2. (a) (i-ii) Nil
(b) (i-iii) Nil
(c) Not applicable.

Macpherson, Mr DW to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
(1)With reference to the Minister of Trade and Industry’s reply to question 1137 on 25 April 2018, why are there instances of different identity numbers registered for one person on the National Population Register; (2) what number of instances of different identity numbers were found on his department’s databases against the name of one person; (3) by what date will his department’s databases be cleaned up?
Reply:
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.
