Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Transport
With reference to the reply to question 3551 on 10 November 2017, why did a certain officer (name furnished) receive an accredited qualification without a driving licence at the time?
Reply:
Ms T C Zulu was enrolled into the Examiner of Vehicles course in 2015 because she was in possession of a code EC driving license which she obtained on the 6th August 2014.
Reg 2(1)(c) of the National Road Traffic Act 93/1996 prescribes that:
“The chief executive officer shall grade an examiner of vehicles as a – Grade C, if the diploma referred to in section 3D (1) of the Act indicates that such examiner is qualified to examine and test a motor vehicle of any class, except for a motorcycle or motor tricycle and such examiner holds a Code EC driving license for a manual transmission”
To date the above mentioned learner has not been issued with a diploma in examiner of vehicles, it is due to be issued soon.

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.

Ketabahle, Ms V to ask the Minister of Basic Education
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.

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.

With reference to the reply to question 1323 on 13 June 2017, in which it is stated that only three permanent prosecutors and two permanent investigators prosecute and investigate instances of teacher misconduct at the SA Council of Educators, has she found that the staff component is sufficient to handle the number of complaints received by the council?

a) Increased a pool of panellists to 39
b) Adjusted the 2017/18 Ethics budget by 100% to (R4 million).
c) Conducting process review and work study to inform permanent solution.

d) Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality
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.

Reply:
1(a) The list of municipalities with unfunded budgets are summarised in Annexure A below.
1(a) (ii) The municipal financial information presented in the MFMA section 71 reports for the 2nd quarter ended 31st December 2017 was used to establish which municipalities are potentially unable to honour their financial commitments. When matching the “cash and cash equivalents” for this period against the “total creditors” for the same period, it showed that municipalities with unfunded budgets are not able to pay their total creditors within the prescribed thirty-day period.
1(b) The development and adoption of financial recovery plans is the primary responsibility of a municipality facing financial challenges as legislated in Chapter 13 of the MFMA; and this provides for the municipality to request support for the development of a financial recovery plan from Provinces and National Treasury. Where such requests are received from municipalities the financial recovery plan is developed by National Treasury in consultation with the relevant Provincial Treasury and the municipality. The list of municipalities that currently have approved financial recovery plans as well as those that have requested support is presented in Annexure A. There are 14 municipalities among the 112 that adopted unfunded budgets with approved financial recovery plans; this means that, in spite of the financial recovery plan having been adopted, the municipal budget is still unfunded. Financial recovery plans are mostly prevalent in the North West, Limpopo and Northern Cape.
2. Yes, the Minister of Finance will consult with the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs for support of appropriate interventions at municipalities that continue to adopt unfunded budgets. The Minister of Finance will consider strengthening measures to ensure the adoption of funded budgets by municipalities and to provide specific intervention measures to enforce such measures.
In terms of the role of the provincial executive and the present legal framework for municipal intervention, the intervention process is addressed in terms of section 139 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. This provides for a process, including the provincial executive role when performing its oversight and obligations with respect to municipalities. The Honourable member must note that the existing municipal intervention legal framework for the Province to issue a directive to the municipality in terms of section 139(1)(a), this is followed by a step by step process, including support in terms of section 154 of the Constitution. Moreover, MFMA section 136, 137 and 139 requires the provincial executive to undertake certain discretionary and mandatory actions to address the situation, failing which the National Treasury upon request from a municipality and province will develop a financial recovery plan for a municipality.
The intervention in terms of section 139(5) of the Constitution raised by the Honourable Member, is in fact the prerogative of the Provincial Executive to decide and resolve. The Minister of Finance can request a province to intervene in specific municipalities as part of the process in implementing the MFMA. In terms of section 150 of the MFMA the National Executive may intervene instead of Provincial Executive if the condition of section 139(5) are met and the province has failed to do so.
