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.

Moteka, Mr PG to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation

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.

(1)(c)(i) The top five nationalities who’s movements indicate they have not yet departed the RSA are:

- - - 1. Zimbabwe: 210,067
      2. Mozambique: 47,909

(2)(a) The Inspectorate Unit of the department is tasked with tracing persons who remain the country illegally. They conduct regular inspections of places of employment and other institutions. They also undertake tracing projects to locate persons who have overstayed in the country.

(2)(b) Such persons are either charged criminally or deported from South Africa.

(3)(a-b) The department does not allow such persons to apply for change of status in the country. Travellers who overstay the number of allocated days are declared undesirable for a period of 12 months or up to a maximum of a 5 year prohibition depending on the number of days overstayed in terms of s30(1)(h) of the Immigration Act. The determination of the sanction is derived from the Enhanced Movement Control System (EMCS).

In terms of the prohibition, a traveller cannot under any circumstances re-enter the country unless an appeal for upliftment of the sanction is considered and accepted by the department.

(3)(c) For the period 1 April 2016 – 31 March 2017 a total of 39,894 persons were declared undesirable. Due to the department only collating overstay data from 1 April 2016, it is not possible to provide a year-on-year trend analysis. For the period in question the most common reasons cited for overstaying are based on medical grounds or applicants awaiting temporary residence visa extensions.

Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Finance

Why did the National Treasury grant full exemption from the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999, to a certain company (FOSKOR) until 31 October 2019?

Source

Reply:

The main reason is because Foskor is one of the Industrial Development Corporations’ (IDC) subsidiaries and in direct competition with private sector companies that are not required to provide reports such as Corporate Plans and Quarterly Reports. Compliance with the PFMA reporting requirements would require introduction of additional processes at a cost to companies already in financial distress.

The second reason was to afford Foskor an opportunity to compete evenly in an open market with other private companies in terms of the pace at which they could undertake certain transactions e.g. Section 54(2) of the PFMA transactions such as acquisition and disposal of assets that require approval of the executive authority; Section (7)(2) regarding opening of bank accounts after compliance with any prescribed tendering procedures and Section 7(4) providing that the National Treasury may prescribe investment policies for public entities.

It is worth mentioning that with regards to reporting requirements, IDC was requested to submit its Corporate Plan with the consolidated financial projections of the internal subsidiaries (mini-group) and any subsidiary with a total asset value above the significance level of R500 million.

With regards to the transactions they undertake, IDC was requested to ensure that the mandate and performance of their subsidiaries are aligned with government development policies i.e. the National Development Plan (NDP), New Growth Path (NGP), and Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP).

Kwankwa, Mr NL to ask the Minister of Finance

Whether, pursuant to his statement that any recommendation about the possibility of extending or broadening the mandate of the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) should be brought to his attention in line with his mandate as the Minister of Finance and in light of the need to ensure better alignment of monetary and fiscal policy in the country as a strategy to unlock job-creating growth, the Government has considered the (a) need to broaden the mandate of the SARB to ensure that it also has a socio-economic development objective and (b) possibility of introducing a 1 percentage point tolerance interval over and above the upper band of the 3-6% inflation target in order to mitigate against central bank overreaction in times of sluggish growth or when the economy is in recession?

Source

Reply:

a) No, there is no need to review the Constitution on the mandate of the SARB.

Sections 223-225 of the Constitution outline the primary object of the SARB, which is “to protect the value of the currency in the interest of balanced and sustainable economic growth in the Republic". Section 224 (2) requires regular consultation between the Bank and the Minister of Finance.

The current Constitution and legislation governing the SARB is therefore very broad, and does not constrain Government from adopting (and legislating) appropriate policies to facilitate inclusive growth and job-creation, achieve the objectives of the NDP, and reduce inequality and deliver basic services to all those residing in SA.

Whilst the debate on the role of the central bank is vibrant, both in South Africa and other countries, it is important that those calling for reviews provide the necessary research and motivation for proposing such reviews, including their understanding of the role of both fiscal and monetary policy, and what specific problems they are seeking to solve. The SARB’s monetary policy mandate cannot be separated from Government’s fiscal policy mandate and performance. Any attempt to amend these constitutional provisions without due regard for this relationship will generate unnecessary uncertainty, and impact negatively on growth and jobs.

b) The existing monetary policy framework, through flexible inflation targeting, allows for temporary deviations of inflation from the target in the event of shocks over which monetary policy has no impact. A specific tolerance level around the target would therefore not be necessary. An explicit tolerance indicator may potentially risk de-anchoring inflation expectations, and thereby constrain the SARB’s ability to respond flexibly to an inflation shock.

However, the committee ordered that should the practitioner re-apply for re-registration with the IRBA at any stage, the case will be re-enrolled for a hearing.

The committee ordered the practitioner to contribute a sum of R150 000 towards the IRBA’s costs.

In respect of costs, the practitioner was ordered to contribute R50 000 towards the IRBA’s costs. The respondent’s dire financial state of affairs, and that he was no longer practising as a registered auditor, were some of the factors taken into account during sentencing. The committee ordered the IRBA to publish, in IRBA News, a summary of the facts of the case, the plea and sanction, excluding the name of the practitioner and that of his erstwhile firm.

a) VIP transport and general transport: Nothing was spent on VIP transport. An amount of R5 662 500,98 was spent on general transport

b) Accommodation: No amount was paid to Azande or Vee-El for accommodation for Mikondzo. All accommodation costs are borne directly by SASSA as it is only officials who are accommodated, in line with the prevailing policies. A total amount of R1 067 165,94 was paid for accommodation by SASSA for attendance at Mikondzo events for the 2016/17 financial year.

c) Catering: A total amount of R11 460 130,37 was paid for catering.

Van Der Walt, Ms D to ask the Minister of Finance

With reference to the reply of the Minister of Public Service and Administration to question 2809 on 2 October 2017 and the announcement during the Budget Vote Speech on 24 February 2016 by the former Minister of Finance, Mr Pravin Gordhan, in which South Africans were informed that the Government will cut its wage bill by R25 billion over three years, (a) how does the total wage bill of the 2016-17 financial year compare to the 2015-16 financial year, (b) how does the first six months of the 2017-18 financial year compare with the first six months of the 2016-17 financial year and (c) what savings in the wage bill have been achieved due to austerity measures since this announcement for each financial year or part of it to date; (2) whether the Government is still on track in achieving its R25 billion savings on the wage bill in the specified period; if not, (a) why not and (b) what steps will he take to ensure that the targeted savings are achieved; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) what percentage of the Government’s total expenditure for the 2017-18 financial year was allocated to wages?

2. Preliminary indications based on 2017/18 first half compensation spend are that government is broadly on track to achieving targeted savings on compensation budgets. A few national and provincial departments are, however, showing signs of excess pressures on their compensation budgets. The National Treasury will continue monitoring implementation of compensation budgets during the current financial year.

Reply:

1. No tender was advertised, therefore, parts (a) to (f) of the question are not applicable. Ms Thomas was contracted under the single source rules in terms of Supply Chain Management guidelines[1].

2. The National Treasury only has the capacity to undertake some aspects of such study but often for once-off projects that are not planned for, such research would take officials away from other critical work. Furthermore, it was also important to secure the services of an independent expert rather than rely on the JSE or other active stakeholders more directly involved in the ownership debate. This paper is merely the start of a research process on this matter and the National Treasury is in the process of inviting local researchers to peer review the work of Ms Thomas, as well as similar papers available on the nature of ownership of listed companies in South Africa, so as to provide a credible basis for supporting the transformation debate in South Africa.

Question 2

The specified tender was first advertised in February 2013 and was finally awarded in May 2016 after been advertised and retracted on only two occasions. It is important to note that in the intervening period, there were three changes in the board of directors of SAAT (the board), each with different views and strategy, which had an impact on the tender process. In the main, the reasons for multiple retractions and re-advertising were as follows:

In light of the cash-flow challenges and the drive to significantly reduce operational costs around 2013, SAAT resolved to review its major supplier contracts. These contracts include the Component support (specified contract), logistics and Aircraft tyre supply contracts. SAAT was considering negotiating for discounts and/or taking an integrated approach to awarding the said contracts.

Management had therefore requested the board to extend the contracts and delay the RFP process to provide an opportunity for the business to align the scope of the combined services to the Long-Term Strategy (LTTS); also to consider a number of smart solutions available within the global MRO industry.

Initially, SAAT’s objective was to pursue an integrated solution to the components Support and Logistics/shipping costs in order to not only reduce costs of the individual contracts but to also derive benefits out of scale discounts through joint procurement. In addition to which, SAAT would also pursue localisation as part of the award of the Tyre Supply contract.

Around April 2013, there were discussions about a possible merger between SAAT and SA Express MRO, and a possibility of Denel Aviation lagging behind. A turnaround strategy document was drafted for discussion. Because of this, an original extension on the Component support agreement was granted until the end of March 2014, the period, which the potential merger was envisaged to have been finalized.
Management requested the board to allow the Supply Chain Management (SCM) team to test the market so as to understand what are the normal prices on the market for component tender. SAAT has had a contract with Air France all along, as a result the only pricing the company understood was that by Air France, which was far more expensive that what was out on the market. The cost compression initiative was already applicable in this period therefore, SCM was obligated to obtain as much savings as possible from this tender to reach their target.

The request for extension was made to the board, and SCM only offered to extend the contract with Air France after they agreed to give SAAT a discount of 400 000 USD. This amount contributed towards the Cost compression

Furthermore the retraction was effected as a risk mitigation measure on the part of SAAT to ensure that preferred bidder is able to deliver on the contracted services.

(1) In reply to question 816 on 19 June 2017, the Department of Social Development wishes to acknowledge that the Sanitary Dignity policy is driven by the Minister of the Department of Women. It is the Lead Department and has coordinated the development of the draft Policy which is hereto attached. The Department of Social Development is part of the Task Team and participates in all the meetings convened as well as providing support in finalizing the policy, and will also be involved in the identification of indigent girls and women from our database for distribution purposes.

(2) A retreat was not hosted by the lead Department or Department of Social Development.

(3) The framework was presented at the National 'Consultation lndaba convened by the Department of Women. The National Department of Social Development was represented by the Gender Chief Directorate. The Sanitary Dignity Consultative lndaba was held on 13 July 2017 against the background of a draft policy that has been produced by Department of Women (DoW), with the help of a team of three seconded officials from the Department of Traditional Affairs.

There is also a National Inter-department Task Team {NTT) that was established in order to work as a task team that would see to the finalization of the process of policy formulation, led by DoW and comprised of the following national departments:

• Department of Women (DoW);

• Department of Social Development (DSD);

• Department of Small Business Development (DSBD);

• Department of Trade and Industry (DTI);

• Department of Finance (National Treasury);

• Department of Higher Education;

• Department of Basic Education; and

• Statistics South Africa.

Following the presentation of the Policy Framework at the lndaba, it was agreed that the Policy Framework should form part of the Department of Women's Annual Performance Plan, Strategic Plan and Operational Plan. Provinces will be expected to develop their own policies according to their unique environments but keeping to injunctions of the Framework Policy.

Moving forward, the policy will go to the Social Protection, Community and Human Development (SPCHD) Cluster Technical Working Group (TWG), SPCHD DG Cluster, Cabinet Committee on SPCHD and then to Cabinet. It will then be gazetted and further awareness of the policy and solicitation of comments and analysis of those comments will ensue. There will be a final SociowEconomic Impact Assessment (SEIAS) process which will include the costing exercise. It will go to Cabinet for the final decision and then a final gazetting will take place and that product can be shared with Parliament.

Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Social Development

(1)With reference to her reply to question 2019 on 9 October 2017, in which she gives a breakdown of the number of Mikondzo events that were held in each province, as well as the associated costs, why were 20 events held in KwaZulu-Natal and only one or two events held in the remainder of the provinces, which total to only 11 events; (2) in view of the specified reply which states that the total cost of the specified events amounted to R10 098 290 976, although the budget was only R62 500 000, (a) why did her department overspend billions of Rands on the events and (b) in which budgeted line item were these billions reflected; (3) whether any virements were necessary to pay for the overspend; if so, (a)(i) from which budgeted line item and (ii) in which programmes were the specified virements made, (b) what percentage of the specified budgeted line item was used for the virements, (c) who authorised such virements and (d) were the large virements authorised by the Treasury; (4) with reference to her specified reply in which it is stated that the budget allocation of each event was R2 500 000, but according to the actual expenditure costs the average cost of each event was R325 million, from where did she obtain the specified figures?

Reply:

1. The reply to Parliamentary Question 2019 indicated that there were 11 Mikondzo events held in KwaZulu-Natal. The areas identified for Mikondzo are informed by prevailing social ills, the level of poverty and challenges with access to social services amongst others. As a result, the provinces will not all host the same number of Mikondzo events.

2. Please note that there was an error in the attachment to Parliamentary Question 2019. The actual amount spent on Mikondzo for the financial year, was approximately R100 million, and not R10 billion. The events in Limpopo and Mpumalanga indicated that an amount of R2,5 billion was spent on these events. This should have been R2,5 million, which was in line with the budgeted amount for each event. The funding was allocated from the retained surplus.

3. No virements were necessary, as the funding was allocated from the retained surplus.

4. As indicated under response to question 2, the details in the spreadsheet in the response to question 2019 was incorrect. The budgeted amount for each event was in fact R2,5 million.
