1656. Ms N I Tarabella Marchesi (DA) to ask the Minister of Basic Education:

(1) Has each provincial department of education identified a list of schools considered to be priorities for scholar transport as funding becomes available; if not, why not; if so, (a) what criteria are used to determine priority schools and (b) which schools are on the priority list in each province;

(2) have any of the schools on the priority list been identified as a result of the school rationalisation programme; if not, why not; if so, will a separate additional budget allocation be made available for transport needed in the case of rationalised schools? NW1862E

Response

  1. Schools and learners who are not transported due to budgetary constraints are kept on a database and prioritised when additional funding becomes available.
  2. The criteria used by provinces to determine the priority schools is based on the criteria that is used to identify learners in those school as directed by the learner transport policy. The criteria are as follows:
    • Priority is given to primary schools learners who walk long distances to schools;
    • Beneficiaries must be needy learners from grade R to 12;
    • Learner transport will be subsidised to the nearest appropriate school only and not to a school of parental choice (parental choice means parents prefer to enrol their children at schools other than the nearest suitable school);
    • Priority must be given to learners with disabilities, taking into consideration the nature of the disability; and
  • Existing learner transport services must be taken into account when identifying beneficiaries as no learner transport services will be provided in areas where public transport is available in order to avoid duplication of services and resources.
  1. List of Schools is attached as Annexure A

(2) Yes. There are schools that were identified as a result of rationalisation. A costing exercise is undertaken as part of the rationalisation programme to determine the additional funding required and requests are made for these funds, over and above the existing budget.

Ollis, Mr IM to ask the Minister of Basic Education

With reference to her reply to question 2672 on 19 September 2017, has she made a decision regarding the tabling of the Nexus report?

Reply:

The Minister has made a decision regarding the NEXUS report. The context of that this report was that it was submitted to the Ministerial Task Team (MTT) as a confidential document in order to provide information on the cases under investigation in the selling of posts.

The report contains various confidential matters that need to be addressed through the audi alteram partem principles which could open the Department of Basic Education up for litigation if not respected.

As the report emanates out of the provincial investigation, which is still sub judice, the Minister is not in a position to make its contents known. It is therefore advisable that the matter is taken up with the relevant province from which report emanates in order for them to determine when the report may be made available.

3684. Ms N I Tarabella Marchesi (DA) to ask the Minister of Basic Education:

With reference to her reply to question 2965 on 25 October 2017, what was the reason for the reprioritisation that saw the Eastern Cape school transport budget decreased by R36 million? NW4115E

Response

The insourcing of the Scholar Transport project within the Eastern Cape Department of Transport required operational budget to establish a Scholar Transport Unit. The R36m in question was reprioritised to fund operations of the newly established unit and was allocated funding as follows:

2965. Ms N I Tarabella Marchesi (DA) to ask the Minister of Basic Education:

With regard to her department’s presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education on 23 May 2017, in which the scholar transport budget for the Eastern Cape Department of Transport was listed as R498 million, what is the reason for the discrepancy between the specified amount and the amount allegedly stated as the current budget by the provincial Department of Transport (details furnished)? NW3284E

Response

The allocated budget for 2017/18 for the Eastern Cape was initially R498 000 000.00. However, due to reprioritisation the amount was revised to R462 000 000.00. The figure of R10 Million stated in the Daily Dispatch Newspaper of 22 May 2017 is incorrect.

De Freitas, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Transport

What are the (a) short-, (b) medium- and (c) long-term plans with regard to the Gillooly’s interchange in the City of Johannesburg?

Reply:

a) In the short-term SANRAL is in the process of appointing service providers to address flooding problem through the expansion of the stormwater management infrastructure at the Interchange. This will be done in the upcoming 2018/19 financial year. In terms of traffic capacity Gillooly’s Interchange has been developed to its maximum potential and no further upgrades are possible due to the surrounding land developments.

b) The medium-term solution to address traffic capacity was the implementation of the new PWV 14 freeway (Gauteng Provincial Route) to redistribute traffic around Gillooly’s Interchange.  PWV 14 forms part of GFIP phases 2 and 3, which are currently uncertain because of the rejection of the toll scheme in Gauteng and no available public funds. The Gauteng Province has also indicated that it does not have funding for this project.

c) See answer under (b).

(1)Whether there are any teaching vacancies in KwaZulu-Natal, if so, what are the details of the vacancies; (2) whether a certain person (name furnished) applied for a job as a teacher in KwaZulu-Natal; if so, on what basis was the specified person rejected for the vacancies applied for; (3) on what basis are the Funza Lushaka bursary holders selected; (4) whether Funza Lushaka bursary holders are prioritised for employment; if so, on what basis?

Reply:

1. The information requested is currently not available. It has, accordingly, been requested from the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education and it will be provided as soon as it is obtained.

2. The information requested is currently not available. It has, accordingly, been requested from the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education and it will be provided as soon as it is obtained.

3. The Funza Lushaka Bursary Prpogramme is a merit bursary and it aims to only fund 25% of students enrolled at public Higher Education Institutions for recognised Initial Teacher Education programmes, namely the Bachelors in Education (B Ed) or the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). The Department of Basic Education and the Basic Education Sector uses the programme to address critical teacher shortages in specified subject areas and school phases. The general criteria for award of the bursary are as follows:

a) The applicant must be a South African citizen;

b) The applicant must be accepted into an approved B Ed degree or PGCE programme to specialise in two or more of the priority areas;

c) The applicant should demonstrate good academic ability;

d) The applicant must show commitment to a teaching career, which includes: interest in working with young people; enthusiasm for a professional career in teaching; readiness to face and surmount difficult challenges and personal integrity; and

e) The applicant must be committed to teach in any school to which a student may be placed by a Provincial Education Department.

4. The Funza Lushaka Bursary Programme is intended to address specific teacher demand and supply issues in the Basic Education Sector. The Programme therefore carries a service obligation. That is, upon graduation the bursars should serve the Basic Education Sector for an equal number of years to their bursary assisted study period. As a result a Funza Lushaka Bursary holder is required to sign a bursary contract that binds them to the service obligation. As part of the contract, Funza Lushaka Bursary recipients have to be placed by a Provincial Education Department to teach in a public school in which a teacher is needed. The contract further stipulates that the bursary holder is obliged to take up placement immediately on completion of the initial teaching qualification. To ensure that this contractual obligation is realised without delay, the Funza Lushaka Bursary holders are prioritised for employment.

Whether her department has engaged with the Department of Science and Technology with regard to curriculum development for special skills such as reservoir engineering required for the exploration of shale gas; if not, why not; if so, what was the outcome of the engagement?

Reply:

The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and Department of Science and Technology (DST) have an existing Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) covering a number of areas of collaboration, including research and issues linked to academic planning for scarce skills.

It is the responsibility of the Council for Higher Education, through its Accreditation Directorate, to evaluate and accredit the programmes and the National Reviews Directorate, to engage with stakeholders, including government departments, on curriculum content.

The DHET provides assistance and guidance towards the formal approval of the programmes and ultimate inclusion of new academic programmes and qualifications on the universities’ programme and qualification mixes (PQMs).

Reply:

I wish to inform the Honourable Member that female genital mutilation is currently not defined in terms of the South African common or statutory law as a criminal offence.

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, as well as the National Prosecuting Authority therefore do not have any such charges and convictions on its statistical databases. An accused person may however, be criminally charged with an offence, for example, of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm, if female genital mutilation was inflicted. Such cases would however not be reflected separately in the statistical data bases.

(b) The Chairperson of the Board was appointed on 07 April 2017 and the Acting CEO was appointed on 15 November 2017.

(c) The Minister is empowered by the Skills Development Act, 97 of 1998
(as amended) to appoint the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA). The appointments were undertaken as follows:

Chairperson appointment – The appointment was made in line with the provisions of the Skills Development Act, 97 of 1998. In terms of Section 11(1) (a), the Minister must appoint the Chairperson of the Accounting Authority of a SETA after consultation with the National Skills Authority (NSA). Furthermore, Section 11(1)(b) provides that the Minister must by notice in the Government Gazette, invite nominations for the position of the Chairperson of the Accounting Authority from interested parties in the relevant sector. In appointing the Chairperson, a Government Gazette was issued inviting nominations. All nominations were processed which resulted in the identification of a suitable potential candidate for the position. The Minister consulted with the NSA who concurred.

Acting CEO appointment - In terms of the regulations for the Conditions of Service and Appointment of the Chief Executive Officer for the SETAs published in Government Gazette No 34720 of 4 November 2011, the Minister is responsible to appoint the CEO of a SETA based on three names recommended by the Accounting Authority in accordance with the SETA Standard Constitution. There is no specific provision in the Act or Regulations that guides the appointment of the acting CEO for a temporary period. After noticing a trend in which SETAs have been appointing acting CEOs without consulting the Minister, the Department issued a circular regulating the appointment of acting CEOs. In terms of this circular, the Accounting Authority of a SETA is required to submit the names of three individuals to the Minister for consideration as the Acting CEO. The Accounting Authority submitted a recommendation with three names for the Minister’s consideration before the acting appointment was made.

Bucwa, Ms H to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

(a) Why did the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) fail to spend R2,57 billion of funding for student support in the 2016-17 financial year, (b) what is the detailed breakdown of the plans that the specified funding was supposed to address and (c) what is the total number of potential grant recipients who were affected; (2) why did the NSFAS loan impairment increase to R29 billion in the specified financial year; (3) (a) why did NSFAS fail to give universities half of the upfront payment due to them at the beginning of the 2017 academic year, (b) how were (i) universities and (ii) students affected and (c) what plans have been put in place to prevent this from reoccurring in 2018; (4) (a) why did NSFAS fail to give around 60% of students their living allowances during the specified timeframe in the 2017 academic year and (b) what plans have been put in place to prevent this from reoccurring in 2018?

Reply:

1. (a) For the 2016/17 financial year, the Department of Higher Education and Training made additional funds available for two new funding categories, i.e.
R2.543 billion for historic debt and R2.039 billion for a funding category named the Kgodiso Fund. The historic debt funding was a once-off funding that was made available to assist approximately 71 000 students who qualified for NSFAS in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 academic years, but were either under- or un-funded. The processing of claims for this funding category required the pre-auditing of claims by verifying student fee statements, previous funding status, proof of registration and the inclusion of the student on the original approved lists from universities. This was to ensure that the funded students met the criteria for funding by NSFAS, and to ensure that no duplicate claims were paid. The Kgodiso Fund was earmarked for the same cohort of students funded through the historic debt-funding category, but was intended to meet their study costs for the 2016 academic year and subsequent years onwards.

The unutilised R2.57 billion was re-distributed from these two funding categories, due to a number of factors. Firstly, universities were not able to submit loan agreement forms for all the students originally identified as needing funding for their historic debt from 2013 to 2015, despite extensions provided by NSFAS. This was because many of the students were no longer on campus and therefore did not come forward to sign agreements. Where agreements were signed, many of the students did not provide the correct supporting documentation, and therefore could not be processed. This was required to ensure that the funding was being used for its intended purpose. These factors affected the utilisation of both the historic debt and the Kgodiso funding.

Following a directive sent to all institutions by the Department, there were a significant number of first time entering students (FTENs) that registered at the universities but remained unfunded in 2016. Based on information provided by universities, the under-utilised funds from the historic debt and Kgodiso funding categories were then re-directed to fund these students in November 2016, and was at first only made available to FTENs. However, despite the reported need for this funding, the FTENs funding was not fully utilised, as students either could not take up the funding or did not accept the funding made available within the financial year. There is anecdotal evidence that some students would not sign loan forms, as they believed they should be funded without any obligations.

In addition to the university funding outlined above, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college funding was not fully utilised as not all colleges had sufficient numbers of enrolled students. This effectively means that some colleges had fewer enrolled students than anticipated and were not able to claim all the allocated funds. These funds were then re-allocated to colleges that required more funding later in the year. The latter colleges then claimed the re-allocated funding in the 2017 academic year as a late payment.

(b) This R2.57 billion was allocated to the following funding programmes:

(c) At an estimated average full cost of study of R49 210 for the 2016/17 financial year, the under-utilisation of R 2.252 billion amounts to approximately 45 760 students. At an estimated average full cost of study of R8 660 for the TVET college funding, the under-utilisation of R325 million amounts to approximately 37 520 students.

2. It should be noted that the R29 billion is not the impairment value, but the gross carrying amount of the student loan book before impairment. The gross carrying amount increased from R24 billion in the prior year. Valuation adjustments were R16.9 billion compared to R14.9 billion in the prior year.

NSFAS met its collections target during the 2016/17 financial year, accordingly there was no impairment loss recorded in the 2016/17 financial year. The valuation adjustments referred to above reflect what is called the “social benefit component” of the NSFAS loans. It is effectively the value discounted on the loans through the offering of an interest holiday, the concessionary interest rate and flexible repayment terms.

3. (a) NSFAS’s financial year starts on 1 April and this is when the first tranche of funding is received from the Department. However, institutions start their academic year in January. NSFAS has therefore, for the last few years, made upfront payments to institutions between January and March, out of its own reserves (recoveries and interest income) before it receives its first tranche from the Department. The upfront payments allow NSFAS students to enrol without paying registration fees and to assist institutions with their cash flow.

There has been a significant increase in allocations to NSFAS during the 2015 and 2016 academic years. This meant that the commitment to pay 30% of the allocations as upfront payments could no longer be funded from current reserves. NSFAS paid an initial 15% of the allocation to institutions on 16 January 2017 and then a further 15% upfront payment in April 2017, as soon as the first tranche of funding had been received from the Department.

(b) Assurances were made to universities that the upfront payments would be paid, and further to the commitment made by the Minister and NSFAS Chairperson, students that were provisionally funded by NSFAS were not required to make registration deposits as these were offset by the upfront payments.

(c) NSFAS is working hard on increasing the revenue from the recoveries in the 2017/18 financial year. These recoveries will then be used to make the upfront payments in the 2018 academic year.

4. (a) Of the NSFAS students who signed their Loan Agreement Form (LAF) or Schedule of Particulars (SOP) and who were eligible for allowances through sBux in the 2017 academic year, 75.2% received these allowances within seven days after signing. The main reasons for allowance delays were as follows:

  • NSFAS system processes failed to trigger the funding processing cycle, which resulted in LAFs or SOPs not being processed and loans and bursaries schedules not being fully completed;
  • Institutions processed student loan adjustments to include allowances after the tuition and residence amounts had already been processed;
  • A substantial increase in the volume of “top-up” allowances was processed in the 2017 academic year. Due to delays in the submission of registration data to NSFAS, institutions were frequently encouraged to send data for processing;
  • The frequency of “top-up” allowance processing for the pre-funded students by Funza Lushaka, Department of Social Development and Department of Military Veterans; and
  • Students, especially at TVET colleges, continue to share cell phone numbers to try to speed up SOPs acceptance. This practise allows students (siblings, family and friends) to sign their SOPs using a central phone number. However, this negatively impacts on sBux disbursement performance as the owners of the shared cell numbers reflect as not being disbursed within the 7-day window period.

(b) In order to prepare for the 2018 academic cycle, NSFAS embarked on various initiatives and projects to stabilise core business processes. These include the following:

- Refreshing the operational value chain to ensure that the full scope of the 2018 operational programme is attended to as part of the strategy to stabilise core business processes and systems;

- Significant emphasis has been placed on improving the end-to-end NSFAS payment process efficiency, through the establishment of a specific task team of technical specialists and subject matter experts;

- Through a rigorous supply chain management process, two additional disbursement providers have been appointed for the 2018 academic year, i.e. Standard Bank and VBS Bank;

- Improving the efficiency of the ranking and provisional funding process so that students can be funded on/before registration and can therefore sign for their LAF or SOPs earlier in the academic year; and

- Streamlining and automating the process of funding preselected students.

Whether the Central Johannesburg Technical and Vocational Education and Training College has sufficient equipment to teach practical skills in all fields; if not, what (a) are the details of all the equipment that is in shortage and (b) plans have been put in place to address all equipment shortages; (2) Whether her department is aware of any cases where the specified college awarded students marks for the practical component of a course where no actual practical teaching took place; if not, (3) Does she have any intention of investigating whether such practices take place at the specified college; if so, what are the relevant details; (4) Whether any equipment was lost due to theft at the specified college (a) in the (i) 2015, (ii) 2016 and (iii) 2017 academic years and (b) since 1 January 2018; if so, what (aa) are the relevant details, (bb) steps have been taken to apprehend the thieves and (cc) action has been taken to replace the stolen equipment?

Reply:

1. The Central Johannesburg TVET College offers a range of business, engineering and services-related programmes. The Principal of the College has indicated that not all workshops and laboratories used for the teaching of practical skills across the various fields are fully equipped with machines, tools and relevant equipment.

a) The kitchens for the Hospitality programmes need to be refurbished as this programme was relocated to the old Wits Hotel School from the Smit Street campus as the previous building was expropriated and demolished for the Gautrain project.

The ICT infrastructure needs recapitalisation and modernisation.

The key concern for the Engineering programmes is the procurement of Learning and Teaching Support Materials (LTSM).

The Fitting and Motor Mechanic workshops require replacement of tools and machinery due to it being missing or obsolete.

b) The College included the refurbishment of the kitchens in its 2018 Strategic Plan, pending the availability of funds.

The College is in the final stages of a tender process for the recapitalisation of its ICT infrastructure. This project, once completed early in 2018, will have addressed all ICT related issues across all campuses and programmes.

The College Council recently approved that campuses may procure LTSM to a maximum of R30 000 to expedite the provision of LTSM.

Since 2016, the College has procured some tools and equipment for the Motor Mechanic workshops. Earlier this year, the Ford Motor Company donated three new vehicles to the College for teaching and learning purposes. The College is also in discussions with ABB South Africa for similar donations to its Alexandra campus.

2. The College and Department are not aware of cases where students were awarded marks for the practical component of a course where no actual practical teaching took place.

3. If more detail is provided on the incident, the Principal and Department will investigate and take appropriate action.

4. According to the Principal, who assumed office on 01 April 2016, some staff members verbally alleged that some equipment was lost/misplaced/unaccounted. To date, no evidence has been provided by these staff members.

(a) (i) Detailed information regarding allegations of lost/stolen assets are not readily available for 2015 and 2016. The Department will investigate and revert back in due course.

(ii) The Principal’s report indicates that in 2016, a staff member made allegations against a Campus Manager at the Ellis Park Campus involving two missing sofas and a lawn mower. This was investigated and evidence was provided that the sofas were being re-upholstered. The service provider would not release the sofas as there was a misunderstanding regarding the quotation. Payment was effected and the sofas were returned to the College.

The service provider who repaired the lawnmower wanted payment before releasing the machine. Payment was effected and the lawnmower was returned to the College.

The above report was provided to the complainant but he was not satisfied with the explanation. The Principal has requested the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) specialists deployed at colleges to investigate this matter. The College is still awaiting this report.

(b) The College had three incidents of armed robbery and theft of computers at the Crown Mines campus over a 12 month period.

The College also had an incident of an armed robbery at the Troyeville campus during the early hours of 6 November 2016 where approximately 150 computers were stolen.

(aa) The armed robberies apparently involved groups of 10-12 heavily armed men who overpowered the night guards and locked down the sites.

(bb) These cases were reported to the South African Police Services.

(cc) The College has revised its security arrangements and is in the process of installing updated surveillance and monitoring equipment, and improving access control. The College has also replaced all the stolen computers.

With reference to the reply to question 2463 on 5 September 2017, what steps has (a) the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) and (b) her department taken to encourage students to pay off their debt owed to NSFAS?

Reply:

a) The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has put in place the following collection processes during the 2015/16 financial year to increase recoveries:

  1. Appointment of External Debt Collectors (EDC) to contact debtors who are working in the public and private sector. NSFAS is also working with private companies and associations, e.g. Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (ASISA) and South African Insurance Association (SAIA) to allow for payroll deductions from their employees as well as certain government departments;
  2. NSFAS plans to do soft collections via the contact centre by calling and emailing debtors on a small to medium scale before the debtors are handed over to EDC for collections from the 2018/19 financial year onwards;
  3. NSFAS sends out quarterly statements to enable debtors to make payment arrangements via debit order directly to the Scheme;
  4. NSFAS has embarked on an extensive recoveries communication campaign to create awareness and encourage previous beneficiaries to pay, utilising different mediums of communication throughout the country, i.e. television, radio, print media as well as social media platforms;
  5. NSFAS receives assistance from the National Treasury to secure payroll deductions from government departments. It received secondments from Standard Bank and First National Bank. The First National Bank secondment assists NSFAS with implementation of the recoveries strategy. The Standard Bank secondment assists with all reporting requirements for recoveries, building a data warehouse, dashboard and reporting on the performance statistics of EDC; and
  6. The entity is also getting assistance from SARS on a quarterly basis.

b) The recoveries mandate remains the responsibility of NSFAS. The Department provides oversight and monitoring to ensure that NSFAS fulfils its obligations in this regard.

With reference to her reply to question 2463 on 5 September 2017 regarding the amount of debt owed to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) by drop-outs, (a) what is the total number of students who dropped out whose debt adds up to R4,002 billion, (b) of this number, how many dropped out due to (i) academic exclusion, (ii) financial exclusion and (iii) other reasons, (c) what proportion of the debt owed by drop-outs has been repayable for (i) less than three years and (ii) more than three years, (d) what amount of the drop-out debt has (i) prescribed and (ii) been written off and (e) whether each amount has been included in the total amount of debt owed to NSFAS by drop-outs?

Reply:

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has provided the following responses to the questions posed.

a) The total number of students who dropped out is 122 769.

b) NSFAS does not currently require universities to provide the reasons for students dropping out. NSFAS defines a dropout as a student who has not formally graduated from the university at which he/she was funded and is currently not studying. Debtors are classified as either “studying”, “graduate” or “dropout” in the loan management system with no breakdown in terms of the reasons for a debtor having dropped out.

Using the Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) and information submitted by the universities annually, NSFAS is able to determine whether a funded student has graduated from an undergraduate programme of study. NSFAS does not currently have a mechanism to identify if a student has transferred to another university for continued studies, however it will be developing this capability in the future.

c) NSFAS debt becomes due and payable one year after a debtor has exited the higher education system, is employed and earns more than R30 000 per annum. Debtors are required to inform NSFAS as soon as their status has changed, i.e. they have exited the higher education system, become employed and earning above the repayment threshold. In terms of section 24 of the NSFAS Act No. 56 of 1999, as amended, NSFAS conducts a loan book matching exercise with the South African Revenue Service on a quarterly basis to establish the employment status and contact information of debtors where such information is available.

The table below shows the number of debtors who have dropped out of the higher education system, and the number of years that their debt has been repayable.

d) None of the dropout debt was considered to have been prescribed as at 31 March 2017.

NSFAS only writes off debt in respect of individual debtors who are deceased or permanently disabled on receipt of death certificate and/or confirmation through the Department of Home Affairs in respect of deceased debtors and medical confirmation in respect of permanently disabled debtors. Data on write-offs in respect of debtors who have dropped out and are deceased or permanently disabled will require further analysis of the loan book.

e) Debt written off due to death or permanent disability are not included in the total amount of debt owed to NSFAS by dropouts.

Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

(1)With reference to the irregular expenditure regarding an events company as per an audit finding in the 2016-17 financial year, (a) what (i) are the details of the events for which the company was appointed and (ii) is the company’s name, (b) who is the company’s (i) director and/or (ii) owner and (c) why was (i) there urgency in finding an events manager and (ii) the event not planned long in advance; (2) What (a) number of persons attended the events and (b) was the break-down of the costs incurred in respect of each event?

Reply:

1. (a) (i) The service provider was appointed to manage events including conferences, workshops, seminars, official meetings, etc. on behalf of the Department of Higher Education and Training.

(ii) Batsumi Travel (Pty) Ltd.

(b) Ms Lisa Sebogodi (Owner and Director)

(c) (i) One of the major events, which the Department participates annually, is the Mandela-Day Career Festival. Initially the Department was going to share the management responsibilities with other partakers and would thus not be mainly responsible for the procurement. This however changed with the nearing of the event. In order for the Department to be mainly responsible for the procurement, a bid process had to be followed to secure service providers to arrange and manage the event. Therefore, the urgent appointment of an events management company was of essence, which led to the shortened period for advertising.

(ii) The Department compiled a list of planned events, though it was not conclusive and all-inclusive.

2. Annexure A provides a list of all events to date that were arranged by the events management company with the number of participants and cost for hosting each event.
