1. In accordance with the provisions of Statement 005 of the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice, issued in terms of Section 9(1) of the B-BBEE Act, the B-BBEE Status level of Measured Entities are determined by Accredited Rating Agencies, through the issuing of Verification Certificates. Said Verification Certificates are valid for 12-months from date of issue, based on verified information requested by and supplied to the Accredited Rating Agency by the Measured Entity.

B-BBEE Status is determined through evaluation against the B-BBEE Scorecard contained in the Codes of Good Practice, measuring the participation in and recognition of black people in Ownership, Management Control, Skills Development, Enterprise and Supplier Development and Socio Economic Development.

2. The question on G4S BBBEE credentials was brought to the attention of the dti before the establishment of the Office of the BEE Commission. Following the establishment of this Office, all BBBEE potential fronting cases were handed over for further investigation. Therefore, further investigation into the G4S BBBEE credentials is being conducted by the office of the BEE Commissioner.

a)  The National Lotteries Commission annually publishes priority areas to ensure more focused funding and maximum impact of the funds allocated. Priority areas are published yearly and available on the NLC’s website. There is continuous work done to ensure that beneficiaries are aware of priority areas and the NLC holds regular Indabas and Post Indaba Stakeholder Engagements with its beneficiaries to ensure that they are aware and actually contribute to the decisions of this nature.

b) Due to the limitation of funds and the increasing demand for assistance by non-profit originations, the NLC’s funding is aligned to the published priority areas to ensure more focused funding and maximum impact on funding allocated. The result is therefore that some funding areas get affected by this categorization.

c) The NLC held a meeting with NSPCA and fully explained the position relating to priority areas. A budget has been ring-fenced from the miscellaneous category of funding for the national body to apply on behalf of its branches.

b) As part of PRASA’s Modernisation Programme, PRASA is in the process of replacing the old signalling system through a national re-signalling programme. However, the impact of this programme has been hampered by the high levels of vandalism and cable theft in specific areas.

c) The current re-signalling program aims to minimize the use of copper cables in the rail network and optic fibre is preferred where ever possible e.g. communication between relay rooms (Main to Sub relay rooms). Unfortunately, power cables remain copper from the relay rooms to the signal apparatuses itself. These copper cables are concealed with a double layer of concrete to protect the cable from pilferage. Alternative technologies are vigorously pursued and innovations/developments in this area are closely monitored.

DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY VETERANS

REPLY

(1) (a) and

(b)The Department of Military Veterans has a draft policy on Sexual Harassment which is aligned to the DPSA. The draft policy is pending the necessary consultation processes which are envisaged to be finalised during the 2018/19 financial year.

With respect to questions (i) the sexual harassment policy is confined to acts of misconduct arising from work[place violations of sexual nature or sexual violence, acts of misconduct in government departments are generally dealt with in terms of the Disciplinary Code and Procedures for the Public Service contained in Resolution 1 of 2003 of the PSCBC (for employees within the salary levels 1 to 12 categories) and the Disciplinary Code and Procedures for members of the Senior Management Service contained in chapter 7 of the SMS handbook (for employees within the salary levels 13 to 16 categories). Therefore acts of sexual harassment and assault are addressed through the relevant disciplinary code and procedures making reference to the relevant policy. (ii) The sanctions are determined following a process of disciplinary enquiry/hearing which may assume an informal or formal setting. According to the two codes a list of possible sanctions will include corrective counselling, verbal warnings, written warnings, final written warnings, suspension without pay, demotion or a combination of these sanctions and dismissal.

(2) (i) for the past financial years i.e. 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18, two cases of sexual harassment and one case of assault were reported. (b) The one assault case was finalised on 19 October 2015 and the one sexual harassment case was finalised on 28 January 2017. The other sexual harassment case was reported on 9 March 2018 and is under investigation. (ii) No cases were withdrawn and (iii) one case is pending because it was recently reported (c) in terms of the two cases the employees were found guilty, a sanction of dismissal was implemented as an appropriate sanction recommended by the chairperson of the disciplinary hearing.

a) (i) In terms of Section 1(1)(x) of the National Water Act, 1998 (Act no. 36 of 1998) (NWA) the Minister owns the land on which a Government Waterwork is situated. The Minister owns, manages and controls 322 dams (Government Waterworks) country wide. The extent of the land is determined scientifically up to the dam boundary line of each dam which includes the full supply level, the 1:100 year flood line and a buffer line. All excess land must in terms of Government Immovable Asset Management Act (GIAMA) and the disposal policies of the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) and the National Department of Public Works (NDPW) fall back to the NDPW.

(ii) In terms of ownership the Minister has exclusive rights on the land mentioned as above. No other Custodian Departments have any right over the mentioned land because Government Waterworks are National Assets and the water source must be protected in terms of the NWA.

(iii) None, due to the fact that the Minister acquires the minimum land needed for a Government Waterwork.

1. I have been advised that the Judge was appointed as the Chairperson of the Interim Board of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) in October 2017 prior to her appointment by the then President of the Republic of South Africa as a Judge of the Gauteng Division of the High Court. Her appointment as a Judge was effective from 01 January 2018 but due to her position as the Chairperson of the Interim Board of PRASA, the Judge did not assume her position as a Judge of the Gauteng Division of the High Court. She requested the Judge President of the Gauteng Division of the High Court, to request me to approach the President with a request that her appointment date be deferred to 1 April 2018. Whilst she was the Chairperson of the Interim Board of PRASA, the Judge never sat nor carried any judicial functions. I have been informed that she has subsequently resigned as Chairperson of the Interim PRASA Board with effect from 16 March 2018.

2. It is not within my purview to determine whether a conduct of a Judge constitutes a breach of the Code of Judicial Conduct. The responsibility to determine whether a Judge has committed a breach of the Code of Judicial Conduct is vested upon the Judicial Conduct Committee established in terms of section 8 of the Judicial Service Commission Act, 1994 (Act no 9 of 1994) (JSC Act). Additionally, Article 2 of that Code of Judicial Conduct is clear as it provides that ‘any wilful or gross negligent breach of the Code is a ground upon which a complaint against a Judge may be lodged in terms of section 14(4)(b) of the JSC Act’. This simply means that if any determination has to be made about the conduct of the Judge, a complaint that complies with the provisions of section 14 of the JSC Act, must first be lodged with the Judicial Conduct Committee setting out the grounds upon which the complaint is based. There is currently no complaint lodged with the Judicial Conduct Committee about Judge’s conduct.

a) Currently there are no trade exchanges before the courts, but there exists a dispute which is not before the courts yet.

The background briefly:

The South African Broadcasting Corporation SOC Limited (“SABC”) through Metro FM concluded a Trade Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) with RBA Developments JHB (Proprietary) Limited (“RBA”) for the exchange of value added services set out in Annexure “A” and Schedules II, III and IV of the Agreement. The salient terms of the Agreement are as follows:

• The Agreement commenced on 08 August 2016;
• The Agreement will terminate on 08 October 2016;
• The parties to the Agreement are the SABC and RBA;
• In terms of the Agreement the parties would perform the obligations set out in Annexure “A” including the deliverables set out in the trade exchange items schedule. A copy of the Agreement is attached herewith and marked as “Annexure A”.

b) The trade exchange value is R3 450 749.68 including VAT.

In terms of the Agreement, the parties agreed to jointly work together in delivering a fully furnished house as a prize giveaway pursuant to a competition to be run by Metro FM for its listeners. To this end each of the parties undertook to perform certain obligations to ensure the successful implementation of the competition and delivery of the house to the competition winner. The dispute is therefore that RBA was liquidated and MSP, which took over and agreed to step in and assist in completing the house and handing it over to the completion winner is now reneging on its initial undertaking.  This has resulted in the house not having been handed over to the competition winner despite that the house was long completed.

Metro FM has received a demand from Legal Wise representing the competition winner claiming a handover of the house to the winner.

c) Save for the demand from Legal wise, no court pleadings have been served on the SABC yet. We are still in the process of engaging with MSP to try and resolve the matter amicably by handing over the house to the competition winner.

a) Budgeting for provisioning of educators is done in terms of the normal government budgeting processes. On an annual basis, each Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Education declares a basket of posts his/her respective Provincial Education Department, based on the available budget. Such posts are then distributed to schools using the post provisioning model. Therefore, vacancies that exist at any point are part of the declared post establishment and are funded and there is no additional amount of funding required to fill existing vacancies.

b) Requirements for funding for infrastructure is based on the Regulations Relating to Minimum Norms and Standards for Public School Infrastructure. As at the publication of the Norms and Standards, a shortfall of R 182 billion was estimated to address new schools and new spaces to be provided to bring all schools to optimum functionality. This includes provision of new education and curricular spaces, education support areas as well as administrative spaces. The sector is planning to conduct a condition assessment of all schools to determine the current backlog and calculate the resultant funding required.

1. (a) What number of (i) case backlogs does the Competition Commission have and (ii) days has each case been backlogged for, (b) what was the average time line, in days, from receiving a complaint to resolving a case in (i) 2015, (ii) 2016 and (iii) 2017 and (c) how does the commission monitor the (i) settlement agreements reached and (ii) progress on each agreement

The Competition Commission advises that it has a total of 64 cases on backlog in cartel matters, with the periods of backlog differing by case, with the complexity of cases largely driving the period of the backlog.

The following table provides information on the average time taken for different cartel investigations as well as enforcement/other abuse of dominance and restrictive practices, for the past three years:

Category	Average no. of days to complete all cases
	2015/16	2016/17	2017/18
Cartels	1044 days	684 days	1061 days
Enforcement Other- abuse of dominance, restrictive practices	396 days	329 days	254 days

All settlement agreements concluded between the Competition Commission (“the Commission”) and respondent firms are presented to the Competition Tribunal (“Tribunal”) for confirmation as consent orders of the Tribunal in terms of section 49D of the Competition Act 89 of 1998, as amended (“the Act”). Once so confirmed by the Tribunal, a consent order may in terms of section 64 of the Act, be served, executed and enforced as if it were an order of the High Court.

Where a settlement agreement contains an on-going commitment or undertaking by a respondent firm to pay penalties or to perform remedial action, performance is monitored by the legal and economic teams of the Commission.

(2) Have any cases been referred to the National Prosecuting Authority for prosecution; if so, what are the details of the cases?

The Commission has referred certain cases to the relevant criminal investigation agency for criminal investigation. The Commissioner advises that further details of the cases cannot be disclosed at this stage because they are subject to ongoing criminal investigation.

1. (a) The Northern Cape hosts part of the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which is an international radio telescope project undertaken in collaboration with other countries including the UK and Australia. Analogue television transmissions produce high levels of interference and as such they have to be switched off and replaced with digital television transmissions via satellite.

(b) To date, all qualifying households in the core towns within a Square Kilometre Array (SKA) have been connected to the digital platform. Subsequent to the installations of devices to all households’ in the core towns of the SKA; including Carnarvon, Vanwyksvlei, Brandvlei, Williston and Vorsburg; analogue transmission services have since been switched off. However, analogue transmission services could not be switched in other areas of the SKA due to households that do not qualify for government subsidised decoders.

2. (a) The major challenges relates to the lack of resources mainly funding.

(b) Majority of the areas in the Northern Cape are covered by Satellite network and currently, there is no stock to distribute to the qualifying registered households.

4. The department has not met the target in terms of

(a) the migration of five million qualifying households to receive government subsidised decoders;

(b) the migration of the majority of unsubscribed citizen who rely on the retail market to acquire migration devices

5. The Department is a policy maker and does not implement programmes on the ground. The department will ensure collaboration with relevant stakeholders such as the SABC and the industry to advocate for content development to feed the channels to be made available by digital migration. In 2018/19 the Department will develop a South African Audio-Visual content strategy to support the digital migration.

a) The planning for the Tsitsikamma restaurant precinct development has been completed following the fire in November 2016 and is ready to be subjected to a tender process. After the restaurant was destroyed by the fire, SANParks decided to upgrade the entire restaurant precinct to include all infrastructure.

The project scope includes the following:

• Restaurant that accommodates 250 seats
• Curio shop with offices and stores
• Information centre as first point of arrival for visitors
• Multi use Boat house
• General Amenities for visitors that includes play areas, picnic areas as well as beach showers and dressing areas
• Bulk Services (Electricity, water and sewer)

b) It is envisaged that the tender and contracting process will take six months from May 2018 to October 2018. Construction is scheduled to commence in January 2019 after the peak tourism season. The estimated construction period is 18 months due to the difficult site and visitor management requirements, with estimated completion in September 2020.

The clients are being serviced from provided marquee since 10th December 2016
