Hunsinger, Mr CH to ask the Minister of Transport

(a) On what date does he intend to implement the Road Freight Strategy approved by Cabinet on 24 May 2017 and (b) why has the specified strategy not yet been implemented?

Reply:

a) The Department of Transport is in the process of developing an Integrated Implementation Plan to heighten the roles and responsibilities of all relevant implementing agencies. This is due to the fact that implementation relies largely on different departments such as DPE, NATIONAL TREASURY, the DTI, TRANSNET, Provinces and Municipalities and the Private sector generally. We have ascertained the different needs of provinces and municipalities towards implementation, areas of collaboration with the private sector have also been established.

To this end, the DOT has begun the process towards implementation, notably, the provincial road shows, industry planning meetings, bilateral with DPE and TRANSNET to ascertain rail state of readiness to take on the rail friendly commodities that will be migrating to rail from road. We note the enthusiasm from Transnet on the road to rail migration. We have also been in discussion with RTMC and NPA on the utilisation of Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) for prosecution. The legislation division is working on the charges that need to be affected for this to come to fruition.

We have also had discussions with Cross Border Road Transport Agency to determine their regulatory system, its imminent expansion and how integration can be sought.

The implementation of the RFS is DOT co-ordinated, whilst the actual implementation lies with various agencies, State Owned Companies, Departments, other spheres of government and the Private sector.

b) The strategy is being implemented gradually, and the Integrated Implementation Plan (IIP) will further qualify the different responsibilities and responsible persons from the noted implementing agencies (Reference to (a)).

Profile picture: Carter, Ms D

Carter, Ms D to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

Whether marriage officers employed by the Department of Justice solemnise same-sex marriages in terms of the Civil Union Act, Act 17 of 2006; if so, what is the total number of officers who have been exempted in terms of section 6 of the specified Act from solemnising same-sex marriages?

Reply:

I wish to inform the Honourable Member that the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development does not employ marriage officers.

In terms of the applicable legislation (The Marriage Act and the Civil Union Act), every magistrate shall by virtue of his or her office be a marriage officer for the district or area for which he or she holds office. Magistrates are therefore ex officio marriage officers. Magistrates solemnise same- sex marriages as and when required to do so. All judicial officers are in terms of section 174(8) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, required to take an oath or affirm that they will uphold and protect the Constitution. I am not aware of any magistrate requesting an ‘exemption’.

In terms of section 6 of the Civil Union Act the responsible Minister for marriage officers to lodge and objection on the grounds of conscience, religion and belief to solemnising a civil union between persons of the same sex is the Minister of Home Affairs. I would therefore suggest that the Honourable Member approach the Minister of Home Affairs in this regard.

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Transport

Whether his department has done any upgrading of public transport facilities and services to and from healthcare facilities since 1 January 2012; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what (a) is the (i) name and (ii) location of each healthcare facility that has seen the specified upgrade and (b) are the relevant details of each specified upgrade?

Reply:

The three spheres of Government share responsibilities for different aspects of public transport operations and infrastructure. From a national perspective the Department through the Passenger Rail Agency will be rolling out upgraded rail infrastructure and services in line with the recapitalisation programme of Metrorail. In several cities, rail lines provide connections to health care facilties especially in city CBDs and in township hubs. The Department will confirm the specific operational upgrades in due course once the rail corridor based infrastructure and service improvements are completed from 2018/19 onwards.

With regard to road based public transport, the Department has been funding 13 cities through the Public Transport Network Grant to improve the quality of services. Four cities are currently operating a Phase 1 service and another five cities will either pilot or launch services in 2018/19.

In several cities these upgraded services such as Rea Vaya in Johannesburg and My Citi in Cape Town served major health care facilties such as the Phase 1a and b or Rea Vaya which link Soweto with Rahima Moosa, Chris Hani Baragwanath, Charlotte Maxeke Hospitals etc. The My Citi N2 Express serves Lentegeur Hospital in Mitchells Plain Cape Town. In Tshwane the current A re Yeng pilot phase connects to Steve Biko Academic Hospital.

Upcoming projects in 2018/19 will serve the Tembisa Hospital in Ekurhuleni with the Harambee BRT. By 2021/22 the Department expects all 13 cities to be operating at least one major township to CBD trunk route that will serve the major health facilities on both these ends.

Based on current and future learner enrolment, (a) what number of teachers are available for employment and (b) what number of teachers must be trained to cover the shortage?

Reply:

a) Over the past five (5) years to 2016, learner enrolment figures in public schools have shown a modest overall increase of about 1% (11 923 674 to 12 342 213). Meanwhile, in the five (5) years to 2015, teacher education enrolments and graduations have also shown an annual increase with graduations doubling from 10 153 in 2011 to 20 738 in 2015. It is expected that the number of teacher education graduates will continue to be above 20 000 annually until 2025. Quantitatively, the supply figures will be adequate to accommodate the demand.

b) As indicated above, quantitatively, the current enrolment and graduation rates are adequate to ensure constant supply of educators needed in the system. However, the Department, working with the Department of Higher Education and Training, is currently looking at ensuring that the supply matches the need in terms of areas of specialisation both in terms of phase and subject.

The South African Council for Educators notes with appreciation the erroneous matter that has been raised with the Council.

Council wishes to acknowledge that indeed the figures indicated on the first table for the 2016/17 Annual report were incorrectly and erroneously published as these were actually the 2015/16 figures.

Council wishes to extend its sincere apologies for this unfortunate mishap and is putting a remedial action in place. One such action will be declaring in the 2017/18 report this error and the correction thereof.

Jooste, Ms K to ask the Minister of Social Development

What steps will she take to address the (a) shortage of social workers in the country and (b) absorption of qualified social workers trained by her department into the Public Service?

Reply:

a) The department is implementing the social work scholarship programme to train social workers for the Bachelor of Social Work degree. Once qualified, these graduates are eligible for placement in the Public Service, Non-Profit Organisations and the private sectors. The department has developed the Demand and Supply Model for Social Service Practitioners where an analysis of the geographic distribution and workload requirements for these practitioners was done. The model would assist in determining the population ratio and future projections in terms of the demand and supply of practitioners across provinces. It will also assist to determine the nature of the gap between the demand and supply with recommended strategies for integrated workforce planning. This model is yet to be shared with other key government departments to assess their demand for practitioners.

b) The department is currently implementing the Conditional Grant to fund employment of social work graduates who have benefitted from the Scholarship Programme. These graduates are employed by the provincial departments of social development. Since 2017/18 the department engaged other sector departments to lobby for employment of graduates. A draft business plan was developed to guide employment by other departments. Lack of adequate funding for compensation of employees in the Public

Service hampers all departments’ ability to employ additional social workers. Support from National Treasury and the Department of Public Service and Administration will ensure that vacant posts for entry level social workers are funded, thereby ensuring absorption.

3. National Treasury had communicated with 7 municipalities that were identified through the in-year reporting system that had invested funds with VBS Mutual Bank in August 2017. The communication drew municipalities’ attention to section 7(3)(b) of the MFMA, which states that a municipality may not open a bank account with an institution not registered as a bank in terms of the Banks Act 94 of 1990; read with the Municipal Investment Regulations, which regulate the instruments within which municipalities are allowed to invest municipal funds. The National Treasury also held a meeting with the municipalities listed above on 22 March 2018 with the aim of establishing the extent of their investments and confirming the amounts still invested with VBS Mutual Bank at the time when the SARB intervened.

It should be noted that in terms of the MFMA, read together with the Municipal Regulations on Financial Misconduct Procedures and Criminal Proceedings, council must, through the disciplinary board, investigate all acts of non-compliance with the MFMA and its Regulations, to establish whether an act of financial misconduct was committed by any of the municipal officials. It is therefore the municipal council that must ensure that the conduct of the Accounting Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and any other relevant officials of the effected municipalities is investigated to ascertain whether financial misconduct was committed and based on that, institute further action, including disciplinary action. National Treasury will continue to monitor the corrective action implemented in this regard.
