In terms of section 5 of the Sexual Offence Act, Act 32 of 2007 all acts associated with sexual assaults are classified as criminal offences and should therefore be criminally prosecuted and penalised.

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 (ii) No cases were withdrawn and (iii) one case is pending because it was recently reported (c) in terms of the two cases the employees were found guilty, a sanction of dismissal was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.

The National Department of Health is aware of the study that was published in January 2018 which were based on animal studies. The possibility of DMPA being associated with HIV acquisition has been discussed by the World Health Organisation since 2012. South African experts have been part of these discussions. The studies presented at meetings of the World Health Organisation were not based on randomised clinical trials but on observational studies. In order to get conclusive evidence that DMPA definitely facilitates HIV acquisition, a number of donors, with the support of the National Department of Health commissioned the ‘Evidence for Contraceptive Options and HIV Outcomes’ Study (ECHO) in 2016 with results expected in 2019.

As well, in April 2017, the Department convened a group of experts in contraception to review the data on DMPA and HIV acquisition. These experts recommended the following: (a) that women must be provided with the full range of contraceptives and they must be counselled on the advantages and disadvantages of each to enable them to make the best possible decision; and that (b) regardless of which contraceptive method women chose, they must be informed about the importance of dual protection – this means consistent use of male or female condoms together with a contraceptive of their choice. This reinforced the policy decision taken earlier and included in the National Contraception and Fertility Planning Policy and Service Delivery Guidelines which the Department has been implementing since 2014.

The Department is committed to continue to monitor the research as well as World Health Organisation guidance on the use of DMPA and take appropriate decisions based on evidence.

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.

1. Rance Timber is not leasing land from communities or state land.

2. Neither the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries nor the Eastern Cape Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform is supporting the said companies of Rance Timber. The only support that was given was in 2013 to producers and they were supported with production inputs.

a) (i) The private office does not have a separate budget from that of the Ministry.

(ii)The budget and the expenditure of the private office is included in the budget of the Ministry which is reflected in the Annual Reports of the 2014/15, 2015/16 and the 2016/17 financial years.

b) The remuneration of employees in the private office is included in the compensation of all employees in the department as reflected in the relevant annual reports.

The salary levels and job descriptions are in line with the guidelines provided by the Handbook for Members of the Executive as well as the Public Service Regulations.

Reply:

(1) (a) The correct overpayment as per response 1263 of December 2017 is R1,196,482.92, not the R1,181,977.52 as stated above. Of the R1,196,482.82, an amount of R826,116.60 was for Commuted Overtime, which the previous response clarified that this was properly authorised and there is no overpayment.

The balance of R370,373.22 was for rural allowance which the official had continued earning even though he had moved to another institution. This is the amount that the employee raised as a grievance through his union that his transfer between the two institutions, included that the new salary package was to compensate the previous rural allowance. This matter as been followed up and no evidence of the agreement has been found. The employee was sent written communication to acknowledge the debt and to respond with a payment plan.

(b) As there had been a grievance that had to be attended, no interest has been charged, as the employee also needs to acknowledge the debt. Only when the debt is captured on BAS, the system will then calculate interest, and only if the debt type is interest bearing

(2) There has been no disciplinary action taken as the grievance needed to be attended to first.

The matter is now being followed up on why the rural allowance was not stopped by HR officials when the transfer was done, and then disciplinary action will be considered against HR officials on not stopping the rural allowance.
