(1) The latest date, on which an audit was done of the actual number of vehicles, which are allocated for the exclusive use of the Sedgefield Satellite Police Station, was on 1 June 2018.

(2) Yes, the information, which was provided by the South African Police Service (SAPS), is accurate. The verification of the number of vehicles revealed that there were four vehicles, which were utilised on a rotational basis, due to the age and mechanical status of the vehicles at the time. These vehicles have now been replaced with two new vehicles, which are utilised for the Sedgefield Satellite Police Station.

(a) A tender in this regard has not been approved. The South African Police Service (SAPS), is currently leasing the Cloetesvllle Police Station, through the National Department of Public Works (NDPW), from the Western Cape Provincial Government, on a lease that expired, on 2016-11-30. The NDPW informed the SAPS that the lease could only be extended, from 2016-12-01 to 2017-11-30. The SAPS was served with a notice to vacate the premises, because the Western Cape Provincial Government required the property for their infrastructure developments. The lease is currently dealt with, on a month to-month basis.

The SAPS has issued a needs assessment and a procurement instruction to the Cape Town Regional Office of the NDPW, on 2017-05-16, for the acquisition of alternative accommodation.

The conclusion of lease agreements for the SAPS, is undertaken by the NDPW, as the mandated institution. The Cape Town Regional Office of the NDPW has indicated that the procurement processes must still be followed.

The NDPW did not provide a date when the matter would be placed on an open tender for the acquisition of alternative office accommodation.

(b) The station is currently leased from the Western Cape Provincial Government and no plans have been communicated to the SAPS, which indicate proposals to replace the station.

(b)(i) By virtue of the dependency on the NDPW, for the conclusion of leases, the SAPS is not in a position to comment on the duration of the procurement processes that the NDPW will follow to conclude the new lease agreement for alternative accommodation, as requested.

(b)(ii)The SAPS has requested that the leased accommodation be procured centrally, within the precinct of the current Cloetesville Police Station. By virtue of the SAPS's dependency on the NDPW for the conclusion of leases, the SAPS is therefore, not in a position to comment on the location of the facility to be procured, up until such a time that the lease has been concluded by the NDPW.

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 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.

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).

(a) The National Tourist Safety Forum stakeholder engagements will culminate in formalised systems and procedures that will function in collaboration with the existing tourist safety structures at national, provincial, local and private sector levels. The Security Cluster is part of the key stakeholders at all levels. When finalised, the strategic document will encompass this key cluster.

(b) The Department of Tourism has prioritised tourist safety as one of the key focus areas that require immediate interventions. In the current (2018/2019) financial year, the Department has established a National Tourism Safety Forum (NTSF) that is driven in collaboration with all the key Tourism Sector stakeholders including the Security Cluster. The NTSF stakeholder engagements will culminate in formalised systems and procedures that will function in collaboration with the existing tourist safety structures at national, provincial, local and private sector levels.

Department

a) The department has so far identified critical posts that are funded and to date sixty-nine posts have been advertised and are in different stages of being filled

b) The department experience budget cuts on compensation of employees during 2015/16 Financial year and this had an impact on the filling of posts since not all vacant posts could not be filled with the current budget

(c) The functions of vacancies are being executed by other employees on the same salary grading and in some instances of a person appointed to act in a higher post. The acting appointments are based on the Department’s operational requirements, to ensure continuity in service delivery and efficient and effective functioning. An acting appointment is only applicable when service delivery will be hampered.

(d)(i) The total cost implication of vacancies in the Department since the implementation of the new structure, i.e. from 1 April 2012 to date amounts to R361 051 457.08.

(ii) R9 760 335.72.

Airports Company South Africa SOC Limited (ACSA)

The Airports Company South Africa approaches resourcing within the context of its approved Manpower budget. Where employee terminations are relevant, and a vacancy occurs, the company proceeds in recruiting for such positions within the shortest possible time thereby ensuring efficient continuation of operations.

In instances where a position is vacant, whilst recruiting for such position, it may be required to appoint an employee to act in such position. The acting of the employee in another position is regulated by a Board approved Acting Policy which includes the payment of an Acting Allowance, which is aligned with market practice.

Air Traffic and Navigation Services SOC Limited (ATNS)

Occupational Levels	Peromnes Grade	Number of vacancies
Top Management	1	1
Senior Management	2 -3	2
Professionally Qualified and Experienced Special	5 - 6	4
Skilled Technical Workers Junior Managers	7 - 8	28
Semi-Skilled and Discretionary Decision	9- 12	9
Unskilled and Defined Decision Making	13 - 17	2
Total		46

(b) Positions are in the various stages of recruitment, ranging from advertising, shortlisting, interview stage, offers extended to successful candidates and candidates serving their notice periods with current employers.

(c) For critical positions an acting employee is appointed in the interim. The acting employee must perform all the duties of the higher position. The acting appointment must be in writing and communicated. Payment of Acting Allowances will be motivated by the Line Executive, and approved by the Executive Human Capital, for all acting appointments below executive level. Acting for executive positions must be approved by the Chief Executive Officer.

Non-critical positions are absorbed by current employees.

(d) Recruitment costs where applicable.

(i) ATNS pays retrospective ex-gratia payment to employees acting in the higher positions for a period of two (2) months and more. Employees acting on higher position will be paid 15% of own current Cost to Company as ex-gratia payment. Employees acting on higher position with another employee acting in that employees’ position, will be paid 5% of own current Cost to Company as ex-gratia payment. However, the acting allowance are offset against the salary for the vacant position.

(ii) Cost as per the Peromnes grade and the ATNS remuneration Policy.

South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA)

a) All vacant positions as per the approved organisational structure of the South African Civil Aviation (SACAA) have been advertised on multiple platforms. Trainee positions have also been created to build capacity and fast track the filling of positions. As existing positions become vacant they are advertised immediately.

b) The SACAA had undergone a restructuring exercise about two years ago and as a result additional positions were created. The filling of the new positions is staggered over a period of three (3) years, i.e. 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 financial years. In the current financial year, i.e. 2018/19, all positions as per the new structure need to be filled. Vacancies often occur as a result of the newly created positions being filled by existing staff who have applied for the new positions and this then opens up new vacancies. As soon as these vacancies occur they get advertised immediately. In addition, occasionally there would be a shortage of certain scarce and critical skills, which results in those positions taking longer to fill.

c) The vacancies have not resulted in performance issues or gaps as the work gets planned based on the staff complement approved for the particular financial year. In instances where there is a specific need for additional staffing, fixed temporary employees are appointed to deal with the additional work load in order to fulfil the specified projects.

d) (i)during the vacancy period

All vacant posts are budgeted for. In some instances, staff is appointed to act in critical positions and in terms of the SACAA remuneration policy an acting allowance is paid to these employees that act in higher positions. The costs relating to vacancies in the 2017/2018 financial year are:

1. Acting allowances paid to employees acting in higher positions R 720 766.00
2. Recruitment and placement fees; and R1 530 837.00

(ii) once a vacancy has been filled?

There is no additional cost implications because all positions are budgeted for.

Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (CBRTA)

a) The Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (CBRTA) not all vacant positions would be filled in any financial year except those that are budgeted for and are identified as critical positions.

b) Due to budget limitations and financial constraints, only identified critical positions are given preference.

c) Operations continue with the current employees in positions. Only in instances where it has been proven that the function will require at least someone to act will an employee be appointed to act in the vacant position.

d) The implications of vacant positions in the organisation has financial impact in instances where acting arrangements exist. (ii) Once a vacancy is filled, there are no extra costs outside the remuneration and rewards cost.

Road Accident Fund (RAF)

a) The Road Accident Fund (RAF) utilises various methods to fill vacancies at all levels and grades which includes, inter alia, Linked-In, the RAF website, recruitment agencies appointed through the RAF’s supply chain management processes and the use of head hunters from the RAF’s panel of service providers in the event where the above-mentioned resourcing methods prove to be unsuccessful,

b) the reasons for the vacancies not being filled includes; interviews not yielding positive results for senior positions, resulting in the positions having to be re-advertised; job applicants have to work a notice periods at their current employer; and instances where the successful candidate declines the employment offer and the second best candidate is not suitable, resulting in the position having to be re-advertised,

c) suitably qualified employees are appointed to act in vacant positions, to perform the necessary functions. The RAF’s Resourcing Policy provides that the relevant Executive is responsible for appointing employees to act in vacant positions up to TASK grade 20 and the CEO, for vacant positions above TASK grade 20; and

d) the cost implications (i) during the vacancy period includes an acting allowance of 15% of the basic salary paid in respect of the acting employee’s substantive position, provided that the entitlement to the acting allowance arises only from the third month of the acting period and (ii) there are no costs incurred once the vacancy has been filled, save for the cost of employment related to the successful incumbent.

Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC)

a) Strides have been made to reduce vacancies in the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) in line with the available funds. As one of our measures and KPI’s the vacancy rate is kept at 10% which is a universally acceptable standard to ensure capacity within an institution.

b) The filling of vacancies is determined on the basis of available funds and strategic objectives of the Corporation.

c) Employees are appointed to act in positions which have been identified as critical, to ensure that mthe work that would have been performed by those employees continues.

Where the positions are vacant but not critical, employees within the units are alternatively utilised through job enrichment and or enlargement to perform such functions as part of employee career development.

d) (i) During the vacancy period, there were two employees who were appointed to act in key positions namely, Acting Company and Secretary and Regional Manager Mpumalanga. The cost of the acting assignment is R246 549.97.

(ii) The financial implications for filling of vacant and funded positions during the 2017/18 is R3 252 329.40.

AARTO

a) The steps taken to fill the vacancies were first to finalise the organisational structure, in line with what would be required for the national rollout and the new requirements as a result of the AARTO Amendment Bill provisions. After the organisational structure was approved, it was followed by the subsequent grading of all post levels, prior to embarking on the recruitment process to fill those positions, which were scheduled to be filled during the 2018/19 period;

b) The Agency was working on the new organisational structure to support the RTIA strategy;

c) The existing staff members; and

d) None. (i) None and (ii) None.

2. The Agency was working on the new organisational structure to support the RTIA strategy;
3. The existing staff members; and
4. None. (i) None and (ii) None.

South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL)

a) South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) Corporate Services cluster advertises open roles on a continuous basis to fill any vacancies, as and when they become vacant in line with our policies.

b) Recruitment delays can occur from time to time if right skills, that are in line with our Employment Equity Plan, are not readily available from the market. This may necessitate SANRAL to re-advertise and thus delay the finalisation of the recruitment process.

c) In the interim acting or temporary arrangements are made until positions are filled.

d) (i) -There are no quantifiable costs as SANRAL does not pay acting allowances.

(ii) Other than the cost of recruitment, there is no other costs associated with vacancies.

Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA):

a) PRASA has a moratorium on appointments except for core and critical skills as well as vacancies that have transpired because of natural attrition. The vacancies that are not affected by the moratorium are duly advertised and filled, however, there are vacancies at an executive level that are yet to be filled.

b) The number of Board changes have affected the finalization and filling of the executive positions.

c) The Human Capital Management function performs vacancy management, and other employees are employed in an acting capacity to fill the vacant positions.

d) (i) The cost implications for critical vacancies are either the acting or responsibility allowances paid to individuals taking care of the role whilst there is a vacancy.

(ii) The agency or advertisement costs are the costs incurred in filling the vacancies and the salary of the successful candidates is the cost incurred once the vacancies are filled.

Railway Safety Regulator (RSR):

a) All vacant positions are advertised on the RSR’s website and national newspapers simultaneously in order to ensure that the entire South African population is reached.

b) Some positions are not currently filled as per the approved Organizational Structure due to the RSR’s turn-around plan that was approved at the beginning of the financial year.

c) Filling of vacant positions is the responsibility of the line manager in consultation with the HR and Finance departments. Responsibilities are spread across the employees in that department or section to ensure continuity of service delivery.

d) (i) There are no cost implications because no one is paid acting allowances in those vacant positions.

(ii) Once the vacancy has been filled, the applicable remuneration is paid to the incumbent. This would have been budgeted for.

South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA)

The SAMSA Board made a recommendation to the Shareholder Minister on the CEO appointment, appointment is the Shareholder’s prerogative. The Board appointed the Acting CEO for twelve months and the incumbent could not act in the role for over twelve months. Decisions are made by EXCO, supported by the COO in the absence of the CEO.

Ports Regulator Of South Africa (PRSA)

a) The Ports Regulator cannot fill all vacancies as it is limited by the transfers received from parliamentary appropriations and the DOT budget, and in terms of the National Ports Act, it is not currently allowed to generate funds from other charges or levies. The DOT is currently working on an Amendment to the National Ports Act in order to facilitate a self-funding model for the Ports Regulator, to allow it to better capacitate itself.

b) In the absence of a self-funding mandate in the Act, the filling of remaining unfunded vacancies on the organogram requires a revision to the baseline allocation from appropriation. The vacant positions have been unfilled as the baseline has not been revised upwards at a reasonable rate, and the entity can not appoint employees using its small reserves as this option is not sustainable going forward. Non-recurrent or lump sum funds cannot be used for recurrent expenditure such as the filling of posts.

c) The current workforce works much harder to perform tasks that would have been performed by people in vacant positions. Also, the Ports Regulator has hired interns on a one year contract basis using non-recurrent funds. Thus far the Regulator has (with difficulty) managed the situation such that the vacant positions have not reduced the overall performance of the entity in that for the past four years, the entity has always achieved 85% to 100% of the KPI’s on the annual performance plan, as well as a clean audit over the past three years.

d) The cost implications has been communicated during the MTEF budget process to indicate the employee cost funding gap, unfortunately the gap has not been filled thus no appointments made. Currently it is estimated that approximately R10 million per annum revision to baseline is required to fill the organogram with respect to salaries and other employee related costs.

a) The Department is a member of the National Transport Forum and engages on all matters affecting tourism. This includes recent engagements with all relevant departments in the Tourism Strategy Implementation Work-Stream focusing on facilitating ease of access broadly.

b) The Department of Transport is also working on establishing the Single Transport Economic Regulator (STER) to consolidate the economic regulation of transport. The STER will, amongst others, promote transparency in the setting of transport fees and stakeholders will have a mechanism to provide their views. The Department of Tourism was engaged in respect of this process and provided its inputs.

• In the previous year, ACSA announced the reduction of airport fees by 35% from April 2017.

-Passenger service charge per departing domestic passenger: R82 (from R127)

-Passenger service charge per departing international passenger: R223 (from R346)

-Passenger service charge per departing passenger for an airport within Botswana, Namibia

and Swaziland: R169 (from R263)

• The 35% reduction in prices is in line with UNWTO’s calls for destinations to avoid stifling tourism growth with exorbitant charges.

(1)(a) The Department of Higher Education has received information about seven alleged instances of corruption at the University of Zululand.

(b) These allegations relate to the following:

(i) procurement processes for infrastructure projects;

(ii) qualification fraud, changing of marks and tampering with admission requirements;

(iii) irregularities relating to the purchase of housing for executive managers;

(iv) the procurement process for the appointment of a computer-training service provider using funds from the Teaching Development Grant;

(v) fraud relating to the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor;

(vi) the un-procedural appointment of University of Zululand attorneys; and

(vii) an alleged R11.5 million transfer.

(c) – (d) (i) Procurement processes for infrastructure projects. The tender process for infrastructure development was challenged in court and it was halted whilst the matter was heard in court. The university investigated the matter and found that certain staff members flawed the procurement process due to the non-disclosure of material facts. The officials implicated in the irregular procurement process were subjected to the university’s disciplinary process and have since left the institution.

(ii) Qualification fraud, changing of marks and tampering with admission requirements to allow students who did not meet the requirements to be admitted. It was alleged that fake academic transcripts were being generated outside the university. The university reported that it acted decisively and suspended two employees identified in the alleged degrees for sale scam. The matter was also dealt with in the court and both accused were found guilty on 62 counts of fraud. The marks of individuals identified were removed and students were allowed to re-register.

(iii) Irregularities relating to the purchase of executive housing. The Department received a number of complaints from the Secretary of Save Unizulu amongst others, alleging financial irregularities, including the spending of R19 million on houses and plots at an up-market eco-state to house university executives. The Minister wrote to the University Council requesting clarity on the alleged irregularities. The Council responded that the purchase was approved in 2015 as part of the university’s retention strategy. The houses remain the property of the university, and the use is governed by the university housing policy.

(iv) Illegal sourcing of a computer-training programme. The allegation is linked to the appointment of a service provider to provide computer training as part of the university’s Teaching Development Grant (TDG) funded activities. The Department requested information from the university and was satisfied with the explanation. The external audit report of the TDG funded activities indicated that the funds were used to support the university’s approved TDG plan, and were in accordance with the university’s own policies. No further action was requested at that time.

(v) Alleged fraudulent appointment of the Vice-Chancellor. The appointment of a Vice-Chancellor is the remit of Council and not the Department. The Department was initially invited to sit on the selection committee due to a misinterpretation of the university rule. The Department engaged with the university explaining that the rule referred to Ministerial appointees on Council and not Departmental officials, and recused itself from the process. The Minister of Higher Education and Training also raised the matter with the Chairperson of Council and was reassured that the university had undertaken an extensive search in accordance with the recruitment policy applied to appointment of a Vice-Chancellor and been unsuccessful in attracting an appropriate candidate before the Chairperson of Council requesting Professor Mtose to consider applying for the Vice-Chancellor position.

(vi) Fraudulent/Unprocedural appointment of the University of Zululand attorneys. The university appoints its service providers in line with its own supply chain management policies. The Council approved the appointment of the attorneys. The university has submitted satisfactory reports on time and in line with reporting requirements. In 2016, it received an unqualified audit opinion. The analysis of the reports does not show any material irregularities in respect to its supply chain management.

(vii) Illegal transfer of R11.5 million. An illegal transfer of R11.5 million to a private account occurred in 2013 just before the Administrator left the university. A forensic audit was undertaken by the university to investigate the case. The university has indicated that it had dealt with the matter. The Department has not seen the forensic report.

(2) Although the university has investigated all the cases detailed above, and put in place various punitive measures, the Minister has recently directed the Council to conduct an independent forensic investigation into a whole range of matters, including the above, so that these allegations can be comprehensively addressed as a matter of urgency.

For the period commencing 2015/2016 to 2017/2018 financial year SSA has recorded forty-one (41) motor vehicle accidents of which nine (9) vehicles were found to be uneconomical to repair.

Repair costs were as follows:

Description	2015/2016	2016/2017	2017/2018
Total Accidents	8	20	13
Total Written Off	1	8
Total Repair Costs	R758 934.31	R462 140.04	R11 100.00

Vehicles were written off when the value to repair exceeded the vehicle value. Hence, it did not make economic sense to repair them.

Currently, there is not tracking system installed in the official vehicles for SSA. Research with regard to systems is currently being conducted to find the most suitable system for the SSA.
