(1) & (2) The Honourable Member is raising a pertinent matter, that of fighting corruption both in the public and private sector. Accordingly, the President in his response to the debate on the State of the National Address on 20 February 2018 underscored this point and asserted,

“The work we must undertake to tackle corruption and state capture has, quite correctly, featured prominently in the debate. It is time that we implement our resolutions on the conduct of lifestyle audits of all people who occupy positions of responsibility, starting with members of the executive….

As we indicated in the state of the nation address, we are equally determined to tackle corruption and other economic crimes in the private sector. Institutions like the SA Revenue Service, the Reserve Bank, the Financial Intelligence Centre and our law enforcement agencies work together to detect and prosecute tax evasion”.

 

Lifestyle audits will go a long way in identifying corrupt practices and assist with the fight against corruption. Therefore, my department will implement any directive issued in this regard. I can assure the Honourable Member that the Government is serious about its commitment to fight this scourge. We have taken the necessary steps towards ensuring that this is realised. I wish to point out to the Honourable Member that public servants are now prohibited from doing business with the state or its organs. Incidentally, it was during my tenure as Minister for the Public Service and Administration that the Public Administration Management Act of 2014 which introduced this prohibition was drafted, processed through Cabinet, was approved by Parliament and assented to by the President in 2014.

Honourable Member, the prohibition referred to above is currently enforceable through section 13 (c) of the Public Service Regulations. The said section stipulates that an employee shall not conduct business with any organ of state or be a director of a public or private company conducting business with an organ of state, unless such an employee is in an official capacity a director of a company listed in schedule 2 and 3 of the Public Finance Management Act”.

The Financial Disclosure Framework which is currently implemented in the public service and applicable to all Middle Management Staff (MMS) and Senior Management Staff (SMS) is meant to identify and manage conflict of interest situations, ensure transparency and accountability (good governance), promote an ethical culture and prevent corruption in the public service.

In addition to the measures which we are already implementing, senior managers in the public service and Chief Executive Officers of our public institution are required to go through a vetting process, which is conducted by the Department of State Security.

With respect to Members of the Executive, Ministers and Deputy Ministers declare their financial interest in compliance with the Declaration of Members’ Interest Framework and the Executive Members Interests to Parliament and the President respectively.

1. (a) and (b) In 1994 all South Africans abroad were only issued a national ballot.

(i) In preparation for the National and Provincial Elections of 1999, the Electoral Act 73 of 1998 established limited categories of temporarily absent voters who could vote outside the Republic.

One such category was absence from the Republic on government service or membership of the household of the person so being absent. The head office of the government department or entity in the Republic of such a person or members of his household was regarded as the place of ordinary place of residence. This category of voters was issued both a national ballot as well as a provincial ballot.

A 2003 amendment to the Electoral Act extended voting abroad to those on temporary absence from the Republic for the purpose of a holiday, business trip, attendance of tertiary institution, educational visit or in an international sports event. In all cases it was required that voter inform the Chief Electoral Officer of their intention to vote abroad.

In 2013 the regulatory framework was again amended to extend voting outside the Republic to all eligible South Africans and an international segment of the voters’ roll was established. All voters outside of the Republic are now treated in the same manner in that only a national ballot is issued for voting outside of the Republic.

(ii) The initial limitation to the categorisation of voters who qualify to voting abroad was found to be unconstitutional in the Richter Judgment (Richter v The Minister for Home Affairs and Others 2009). For this reason, the legislation was amended to open voting outside of the Republic to all eligible citizens.

National Consumer Commission (NCC)	There were no racism incidents that were reported to Human Resource department.	2016-one incident of racism was referred to Human Resource on the 25 January 2017	Not applicable	The matter stemmed from grievance that was lodged by one senior manager against another	The matter was investigated and a recommendation was made that the senior manager be formally charged for misconduct. Whilst the initiator was in the process of drafting the charge sheet, the said senior manager was dismissed for unrelated misconduct. As a result thereof, such disciplinary hearing (relating to racism) did not take place.

1. The lead Department for health and food safety is the Department of Health. Once the National Institute for Communicable Diseases had established the existence of listeriosis in South African meat processing plants the National Consumer Commission issued a recall notice under the provisions of the National Consumer Commission (NCC) and in the over-riding interests of public health.

thedti has an existing agro-processing incentive to which companies in the meat sector can apply. Each application will be dealt with on its merits including with respect to whether or not the company has raised food safety and health standards and commits to raising competitiveness. Senior officials from the Department of Trade and Industry have met with the South African Meat Processors Association (SAMPA) where this was explained.

2. thedti has conducted a preliminary economic analysis of the impact the listeriosis outbreak on the meat processing industry. This preliminary analysis will be followed up with a more comprehensive study to determine the wider economic and employment impact. Preliminary research to date suggests that the pork industry is the hardest hit. The demand for processed meat has dropped by 75% and the demand for pork cold cuts by 50%, with an estimated decline in profits of 40%. According to data from the Pork Producer’s Organization, two plants and one abattoir have closed down.

3. (a) thedti fully supports the formation of a Food Safety Agency and at the time of the outbreak immediately instructed the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) to begin the process to develop the requisite regulation.

(b) The South African Constitution provides for food safety control as a concurrent function, across national government departments and at provincial and local government levels. The Departments of Agriculture, Health and Trade and Industry have existing concurrent functions to enhance food safety and consumer protection with the Department of Health as the lead department.

The fact that some part of the private sector allowed a highly deleterious lowering of standards in food safety, points to the need for a strengthened and consolidated approach by government. It is for this reason that the dti is working with the Department of Health, Department of Forestry and Fisheries other national departments and the National Regulatory for Compulsory Standards (NRCS) to establish a Food Safety Agency, with an attendant regulatory framework.

Government’s view is that the long term sustainability of the food sector and its ability to safeguard jobs, rests on an optimal health and safety standards regulatory framework, and enforcement by government.

Yes, all 4 Ingula units are in commercial operation.

(1)(b)

Each unit has been operational for between 1 and 2 years, as indicated in the table below.

Table 1: Commercial operation dates for each unit at Ingula

Unit	Commercial Operation Date
Unit 1	30 August 2016
Unit 2	22 August 2016
Unit 3	30 January 2017
Unit 4	10 June 2016

(1)(c)

Each unit is rated at a maximum continuous rating of 333 megawatts (MW).

In terms of the actual production of power per unit, the following should be noted:

• Ingula has two waterways, each supplying water to two of the four units. Due to the possibility of excessive build-up of pressure, two units with a common waterway are restricted to less than full power when running simultaneously, but two units on different waterways are able to generate at full capacity. Thus, if all four units are required to generate at the same time, each has to reduce output by approximately 50MW.
• A design modification to address the issue is planned for implementation during the upcoming 2018 outages.

(2)(a)

As at 30 March 2018, R29.5 billion (excluding interest during construction) has been spent on the scheme, against an approved business case value of R29.8 billion (excluding interest during construction).

(2)(b)

R8.5 billion (excluding interest during construction).

(2)(c)

The original estimated time frame to complete the scheme was 6 years and 8 months.

(2)(d)

The scheme actually took 10 years and 9 months to complete.

(2)(e)

The main contractor for the scheme was CMI-JV (CMC di Revenna, PG Mavundla and Impregilo Joint Venture).

(2)(f)

The amount paid to this contractor for work done on the scheme is R14 959 205 944.36 (excluding VAT).

(3)

No. A technical investigation looking into the root causes of operational problems has been initiated, the outcome of which will determine whether there is a need for forensic investigation.

The provisions for international official journeys for members of the executive and their spouses (alternatively one adult family member) are set out in Chapter 6, section 2 of the Ministerial Handbook. The provisions provide for an accompanying spouse or adult family member on international official journeys undertaken by a member of the executive.

No adult family member other than the Members spouse, Mrs Davies, accompanied the Member on official international duties.

In the past five financial years and the period from April 2018, the Member completed 66 official international work trips and was accompanied by his spouse on 8 occasions at an average cost of R53 037,50.

The purpose of the international work was to promote South African trade and investment interests. Details of the various international work undertaken by the executive member can be found in the dti Annual Reports, various reports to the Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry, reports in the media and the dti website, amongst others.

The provisions in the Ministerial Handbook also provide for the personal staff in a Ministry to accompany the executive member on official travel abroad. During the period under review, staff from the personal office rarely accompanied the executive member on official travel abroad.

(2) There is no provision in the Handbook that requires the President to approve spousal travel.

Currently no lifestyle audits were done for the Minister, senior management in the department or any heads of entities reporting to the Minister in the past three financial years that the Minister is aware off.

Normally lifestyle audits are done during investigations. The current approved internal audit plan for 2018/19 does not include lifestyle audits as internal audit does not have the necessary capacity, tools and/or skills to do these audits. An auditing firm will have to be appointed for this purpose. The Minister and Director General still needs to decide for whom/what levels, how and when these lifestyle audits need to be done. This can be a costly exercise and the necessary budget needs to be allocated to appoint an auditing firm to conduct lifestyle audits.

2. Re-gravel - This refers to the addition of a new gravel layer to replace lost gravel.

3. In addition, the estimated length of gravel network that needed to be upgraded to surfaced standard, that is where the traffic volume exceeds ADT of 300 vehicles per day was estimated at 9,800 km and a cost of R58.8 billion.

4. In addition, the Capacity Expansion Backlog was estimated at R118.9 billion for national roads, SANRAL, only.

PRASA has launched an application for the review and setting aside of the contract that was referred to as “an extension”, which, in actual fact was Phase 1 of a project called Integrated Security and Access Management Systems (“ISAMS”). This contract was for R1,95 billion and not the R800 million that was reported to the Public Protector. This review application also includes two contracts that were awarded to Siyangena Technologies (Pty) Limited (“Siyangena”), namely, Phase 2 of the ISAMS project and an upgrade and maintenance of Phase 1 of the ISAMS project. If PRASA is successful in the review application, then the amounts paid may be recouped.

(1) prior to the announcement of the President, Mr CM Ramaphosa, during his State of the .Nation Address, the South African Police Service (SAPS) had not established a system to. conduct lifestyle audits. Lifestyle audits were, however, given effect to, via the Security Competency (Vetting) System.

Senior Management Service (SMS) members, who are In possession of a security clearance, would have had their lifestyles audited through the Vetting System. To achieve the objective of ensuring the integrity of the SAPS, an SMS members have been instructed to apply for a security clearance, on the SAPS E-vetting System.

The SAPS has since the announcement, as stated above, introduced lifestyle audits as both part of vetting and as a separate activity from the vetting, through random or specific targeting.

(2) Lifestyle audits are by its very nature, highly confidential, as it includes personal information and private details of employees. Therefore, copies of the lifestyle audits reports can unfortunately not be made available to Mr DC Ross.

According to the information received from Eskom

(1)

Eskom had Capital constraints post Multi Year Price Determination 3 (MYPD3) award in 2013. Eskom prioritised allocation of capital for the New Build program and thus very limited capital was made available for the cost plus mines expansion and equipment replacement projects.

FY2017 Eskom recommitted capital investment in the cost plus mines. However Eskom is still faced with further funding constraints and this affects its capital allocation for cost plus mines.

(1) (a) What is the annual budget of the SA National Aids Council (SANAC),

The Annual budget of SANAC for the period 2017/18 was R66, 275,268

(b) what amount of the budget comes from

(i) international organisations?

Funding from International donors for the period 2017/18 was R22,324,975

(ii) the private sector in South Africa and

 

SANAC did not receive any funding from the private sector in South Africa for the year 2017/18

(c) (i) How is the budget spent

Budget is spent on programmes developed in line with the National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV, TB and STI’s  

      

(ii) does the SANAC audit its books;

SANAC books are audited by independent internal and external auditors appointed by the SANAC Board of Trustees.

(2) to what extent has (a) SANAC engaged mining companies to implement social labour plans to ease poverty, unemployed and determinants on health

The Chamber of Mines is represented on the Global Fund Country Co- ordinating Mechanism and the Plenary and their participation facilitates the alignment of their social labour plans with other investments in the country, from government and external donors.

The new Global Fund Request for Funding that is currently being developed aims to include an organisation that works with private sector companies to align their investments with the National Strategic Plan for HIV, TB and STIs, maximising the efficiency and effectiveness of their investment.   

The SANAC has developed a private sector strategy that includes building a platform for engagement with mining companies but this has not yet been implemented due to funding shortages.

and (b) SANAC helped District Aids Councils and Local Aids Councils to be effective;

In July 2015, SANAC Secretariat commissioned an assessment to look at the functionality of the Provincial Councils on AIDS and their sub-level structures (District and Local AIDS Councils). Overall, the assessment showed secretariats exists and are able to conduct most of the support functions related to day to day Council activities. The assessment further showed that the levels of functionality of the PCAs and that of their respective sub-levels were found to be variable.

Provincial Premiers’ leadership of the PCAs was found to be more visible than perceived. However, at district and local level the assessment found that in many instances the councils were non-existent and where they existed the functionality levels were low. There were however provinces where some districts and local level AIDS councils are functional.

Based on the findings and recommendations SANAC Secretariat put together an AIDS Councils Capacity Development initiative to strengthen the Provincial, Districts and Local AIDS Councils. This initiative has seen the development of a Capacity Development Strategy to guide the implementation of the Capacity Building initiative for the AIDS Councils. A toolkit for AIDS Councils Capacity Development has also been developed and to this end 4 Provinces and their districts have been trained (Gauteng, North West, Mpumalanga and Free State). The remaining 5 provinces will be trained during this financial year. The capacity building will be followed by a mentorship programme to continually support the AIDS Councils to function optimally at all times.

SANAC through its Secretariat is also supporting the AIDS Councils to develop their Implementation Plans to reach the goals of the National Strategic Plan 2017-2018. To this end all the 9 provinces have their Provincial Implementation Plans being finalized while all the 44 Districts and 8 Metros have their Multi-Sectoral District Implementation Plans. However, successful implementation of these instruments will require that the Premiers and the Mayors take overall leadership of their AIDS Councils.

SANAC is also working with the United Nations Joint AIDS Program (UNAIDS) on a Fast Track Cities initiative to assist municipalities and cities with a high burden of HIV, TB and STI’s. This process seeks to support these Municipalities and Cities to fast track their HIV response to achieve the 90-90-90 targets by 2020 and their NSP targets by 2022.

(3) what innovative programmes is SANAC contemplating for reducing unplanned teenage pregnancies and HIV incidents amongst teenagers;

The SANAC secretariat co-ordinates the implementation of programmes targeting young women and girls under the umbrella of the She Conquers campaign launched by the previous SANAC chair. This includes programmes implemented by government, GIZ, the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria and the DREAMS programme of PEPFAR. The Global Fund programme is also piloting a cash plus care programme in KZN and WC where conditional cash grants are provided together with a package of services that aims to empower women aged 19-24 years. All these programmes aim to reduce teenage pregnancies and HIV incidence.

(4) whether SANAC will intervene with regard to the poor attendance by the health representatives to Aids meetings at District Aids Councils and Local Aids Councils;

While it is SANAC’s mandate to coordinate the HIV, TB and STI’s response in the country, it however remains the role of the individual AIDS Councils leadership to encourage every stakeholder to be always represented and participate actively during the AIDS Councils meetings. Therefore, the Premiers and Mayors are encouraged to make sure that their AIDS Councils are well established, multi-sectoral, meet on a regular basis and report on their work.

SANAC is also developing a National Accountability Framework and scorecard as recommended in the National Strategic Plan 2017-2022. It is envisaged that once completed the Accountability Framework will improve accountability across all sectors on the implementation of the National Strategic Plan. This process will result in the Premiers and Mayors understanding their performance progress towards achieving the 8 goals of the National Strategic Plan.

(5) how is SANAC tracking its performance on planned activities and what measures are in place to achieve the implementation of its National Strategic Plan 2017-22?

SANAC has an Annual Performance Plan (APP) which tracks its performance on planned activities on a quarterly basis. The APP is reviewed on a quarterly basis and audited to track progress.

Through its provincial representation and broad multi-stakeholder consultation, on an annual basis SANAC compiles M&E progress reports on the implementation of the National Strategic Plan (NSP). 

The NSP 2017-22 implementation is also tracked through the compilation of provincial quarterly progress reports on key indicators. 

Going forward, quarterly factsheets will be compiled to depict progress in the implementation of the NSP will be develop. The intention of this will be to widely communicate progress. 

A Mid-Term Review is also planned to track progress to document progress and address identified implementation challenges. 

Reply:

(1) The reasons for the year-on-year budget escalations, are as follows:

- Additional members of Cabinet must be protected.

- An increase in manifested threats against Very Important Persons (VIP's).

- An Increase in major events and the related protection.

(2)(a)(b) Yes. The Department of Police supports the view of the President of the Republic of South Africa, Honourable MC Ramaphosa, who has said that measures must be implemented, to reduce the expenditure of protection and security services for VIPs.

The envisaged re-alignment and rationalisation of government departments by the President, will result in less· government departments, Members of Cabinet and VIPs. This will result In a significant reduction In expenditure for the Division: Protection and Security Services.

2. 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.

The response is limited to part B of the question, which relate to SMS members in the department.

1. (a)(b)(c) The department has not conducted lifestyle audits in the past three financial years or any other period before.

(1)(i)(ii)(iii)(iv) However in 2016, the department initiated the process of carrying out this type of audit but could not conduct it due to legal limitation to access information in possession of third parties as it can only be accessed through law enforcement agencies.

Since the pronouncement by the State President, we are working on the modalities of ensuring that if, and when lifestyle audits are conducted, they are done in compliance with the laws of the Republic.

2. Not Applicable.

(c) No, the head of the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (CBRTA) has not undergone any lifestyle audit as there is no information that has come to our attention necessitating such an audit.

(1) (c) No, neither the Chief Executive Officer nor the rest of the sms of the Road Accident Fund (RAF) has undergone a lifestyle audit in the past three financial years; no plans have been put in place to perform such audits as the RAF, unlike the South African Revenue Services, in respect of declared income and suspicious accumulation of wealth, or the State Security Agency, when conducting security vetting, has no legislated mandate to conduct such lifestyle audits. Consequently, such audits would be unreliable, and potentially fruitless and wasteful, if necessary financial information is not considered as part of the audit. Furthermore, such audits would be unlawful if in absence of the necessary consent of the data subject, the financial information is accessed without such consent or court order. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, where suspicions of wrongdoing are identified such suspicions are investigated, and consequently

The Accounting Authority of the SANRAL reviewed its existing internal controls with regard to conduct by employees, delegations of powers, supply chain approvals, declarations of interest including the implementation of a no gifts policy and concluded that these instruments are adequate to set a desired tone on ethical behavior within the company. In addition, the Board Charter and Board Code of Conduct are reviewed annually to govern the conduct of directors. As a result, lifestyle audits are deemed unnecessary at SANRAL at this stage. Should a need arise to conduct such audits as a consequence of audit findings or forensic investigations, they will be duly considered and conducted.

Walter Sisulu University (WSU) has provided the following responses to the questions posed:

1. WSU utilises 41 houses and 139 flats in Mthatha, 1 flat in East London and 13 houses in Butterworth for staff housing.

(a) WSU owns 34 houses in Mthatha, 13 houses in Butterworth and 1 flat in East London.

(b) 139 Flats are owned by the Eastern Cape Development Corporation (ECDC) and King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality (KSD). 6 Freestanding houses are owned by the ECDC and 1 by the KSD.

2. WSU has title deeds for some of the properties and is negotiating with the ECDC and Provincial Department of Public Works to obtain the rest. Before the establishment of WSU, most of the university properties were registered under the Department of Public Works when they were Colleges of Education. The transfer of such properties into WSU’s name has stalled at different levels of the bureaucracy, e.g. certain portions of the Butterworth campus has land claims attached to it, making it difficult to transfer the land to WSU.

3. Considerable effort has been made to facilitate the transfer of properties to WSU. Zamukulungisa and Butterworth sites are still owned by Department of Public Works, however both properties have been gazetted to be transferred to WSU. The process for transfer is currently between the Land Affairs department and State Attorney. WSU has also appointed its own independent attorneys to expedite the process. The ECDC has also been approached to facilitate the transfer of various WSU properties that are registered in the name of the ECDC.

• 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.
