(1)

(a)

The Department has initiated and undertaken an investigation into the reported leakage of examination papers in November 2017 in some Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. Forensic investigators were appointed by the Department and they have already uncovered some evidence related to the leakage of question papers and further investigation is underway. Depending on the findings and recommendations of the forensic investigations, the necessary corrective actions will be taken, e.g. if officials have been implicated, criminal and/or misconduct charges will be laid; where there is a breach in controls, these will be improved; senior managers who allowed ineffective controls will face consequence management, etc.

(b)

The following 5 NATED Engineering question papers leaked during the November 2017 examination, i.e. Mathematics N2, Industrial Electronics N2, Mathematics N3, Engineering Science N3 and Mechanotechnology N3.

(2)

(a)

The Chief Directorate: National Examinations and Assessment shared its irregularity report with the quality assurance body, Umalusi.

(b)

All instances of question paper leakages were reported to the South African Police Service and the Directorate: Special Investigations.

Contact Person	Police Station	Case Number
Lt Col LL Zulu	Pretoria Central	CAS 54/8/2017
	Esayidi Station	CAS 765/11/2017
	Strand Station	CAS 283/11/2017
Capt FF Rangwashe	Sasolburg	CAS 85/2/2017

(3)

The errors and spelling mistakes on the leaked memoranda implies that it was not the final version and possibly emanated from the section involved in the drafting stage of these examination papers.

(4)

(a)

The leakage was brought to the attention of the Department shortly after the paper had been written and not before as alleged. The standard operating procedure in these instances is to withdraw and replace the paper where possible.

(b)

Where a paper has been written, marks are released if the examiners and moderators report confirms that statistically there is no indication of the students having access to leaked papers.

(5)

(a)

(i)

Three (3) candidates.

(ii)

Three (3) campuses.

(b)

The audit of all scripts for the implicated centres were conducted during the marking process and auditors (chief markers and experienced markers) used the following criteria to evaluate the candidates’ responses:

Similar pattern of responses across scripts, where high marks were achieved in individual questions or across all questions, which suggests that candidates had prior knowledge and/or possession of the question paper.

Any other pattern that may suggest that candidates (individuals or groups) had prior knowledge and/or possession of the question paper.

Range of marks achieved across the candidates at a centre is unusually high when compared to the previous examination(s) cycle.

After an investigation or auditing of scripts, it was found that that leakage was limited to three candidates across three campuses.

2. Quantifiable Benefits from attending CISMEF

Some of the most remarkable benefits derived from CISMEF are not necessarily quantifiable. The level of exposure these SMME’s received as well as the skills they gained from being part of CISMEF could never be measured but they are none the less just as important as the Business to Business deals that were made.

The co-hosting of the 14th CISMEF has provided the Department an opportunity to show-case the capabilities of SME’s in our country on a global scale. This was the first international pavilion the DSBD has participated in, since proclamation. The opportunity afforded our SME’s with a platform to not only to access global markets for their products but also to gain linkages to their Chinese counterparts.

The upshot of CISMEF was the conducting of Business to Business (B2B) match making activities principally with clients from the Bank of China and other business associations. South African exhibitors have reported successful market linkages with Chinese counterparts. The process of engagement between South African and Chinese companies is ongoing but thus far identified B2B linkages that may translate into trade opportunities for participating enterprises are as follows:

Name of Enterprise	Client Name	Market Linkages Secured/ Pending
Chiz Boys	Goitse Maotoe	Established new business relationships with Chinese companies willing to purchase their products. Chiz Boys requested to produce cheese sauce, as there was an interested to procure. Chiz Boys also gained knowledge on creation of new markets for cheese in relation to the possible opportunities in China and making inroads into this market.
Green-Buds Logistics	Sammy Phalane	Green-Buds Logistics now has off-takes to supply citrus fruits (oranges, lime, lemon and grapefruit) to China. Also secured the service of an agent who will source/ import for different grocery stores in China.
Fearless Afrika	Eugene Mafatshe	Fearless Afrika met with equipment manufacturer for investment and equipment procurement. The manufacture’s equipment meets Fearless Afrika’s expectations. It can produce more ranges of sanitary towels as per demand in RSA and the rest of the continent.

Name of Enterprise	Client Name	Market Linkages Secured/ Pending
Leema Industries	Sehurutshe Kgomongwe	Leema Industries has greatly benefitted from the fair. They met two companies that are willing to supply them with the machinery to manufacture computers in South Africa, provided Leema Industries can show that they have a solid market in South Africa. These companies are willing to enter into a relationship with Leema Industries. They also visited some Chinese factories, state of the art and technologically advanced manufacturing processes. Also developed strong relations with SME from South Africa; they requested that a platform for communication and idea sharing be created amongst South African Exhibitors.
Dirang Mmogo Business Enterprise	Kelly D Phukile	The enterprise has made leads with other Chinese vegetables and flower plant sellers. CISMEF has provided new perspectives on innovation and helped us expand our horizon in innovation and healthy development of plants”.
Botebo Wines	Tebogo Ditsebe	The negotiations to export 383 boxes of wine per month to a retailer in China are ongoing and have not yet been finalised.
VJS Jewellers	Mr Velile Isaac Jonas	A Chinese company, known as Good Idea Steel Jewellery has expressed interest in distributing VJS Jewellery. Mr Jonas is currently conducting research before agreeing to the business transaction. A Polish company encountered during CISMEF has additionally also shown interest in importation of VJS products. Negotiations are ongoing.

However, it has been amended and was advertised with the correct title of Business Development Officer in alignment with the DSBD job titles.

(b) Remuneration package: R385 543 per annum (all inclusive).

(2)(a) The Business Development Officer position was advertised on 24 November 2017.

(b) The position was advertised in the Public Service vacancies circular.

(3) Interviews for the Business Development Officer were concluded on 14 February 2018. Recommended candidate information was forwarded for background screening and feedback is expected on 16 March 2018.

Vos, Mr J to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

What are the full details of the roll-out programme of electronic visas that is to be implemented by March 2018 in terms of (a) how the electronic visas will work and (b) what the roll-out programme will entail?

Source
Link

Reply:

(a) eVisa introduces online capture of visa and permit applications and capturing of applicant’s biometrics in South Africa and abroad. An application will be captured and submitted online together with the required supporting documents that will be scanned and attached to the application. The applicant will then present himself/herself before a DHA Official for biometric enrolment and verification of the submitted supporting documents is conducted at this stage. The application form together with supporting documents and biometrics are then electronically routed to DHA Head Office in Pretoria for adjudication. The applicant is electronically notified of the outcome via email as well as via the application portal. For an approved visa/permit, a secure QR-Code is generated for print on the notification notice/letter sent to the applicant. This QR-Code contains the approved visa/permit detail and is maintained and managed by DHA at a secure web-storage facility. The same QR-Code will be scanned to view and validate the issued virtual visa/permit upon arrival of the applicant within the Republic. The same QR-Code is also pre-loaded into Biometric Movement Control System upon approval of the application and the virtual visa/permit (eVisa/ePermit) will be further validated at the Port of Entry upon arrival of the applicant.

(b) The roll-out programme will be gradual starting with Phase 1, Release 1, which entails applications for temporary residence visas, adjudication of temporary residence visas, applications for waivers, notifications to the applicant via email and biometrics captured at the Mission. The ePermit will be piloted at one Mission or local office in the last quarter of the next financial year by 31st March 2019. This is to ensure system stability. Once stable, more offices locally and abroad can then be gradually brought online.

The management of the SABS has provided the Department with the following information.

The SABS does not issue product licences. Since the promulgation of new legislation, the SABS Act of 2008, the SABS Mark is a voluntary tool for quality assurance in the domestic and global market.
The SABS Mark continues to be issued. Companies that hold an expired SABS Mark can continue to use it even if it has expired. A SABS Division was created in 2017 to deal with the backlog and provides access to laboratories all over the country to test products as well as provide the necessary governance and assurance oversight of these SABS conformity assessment services.
The management of the SABS has not provided a satisfactory response containing the requisite information. I have written to the SABS management demanding that they do in fact provide an urgent response to the Department of Trade and Industry.
No calculation of this cost has been undertaken.

The Department of Trade and Industry is the only shareholder of the SABS. In my capacity as the Minister of Trade and Industry, in the light of the above and with respect to ongoing concerns relating to the SABS Mark function, I recently gave instructions to the SABS Board to urgently oversee a detailed process to develop a turnaround strategy for SABS. This will, inter alia, include a full scope of all the existing SABS Mark functions and processes involved in developing the Mark; operational challenges and stakeholder engagements in order to strengthen this critical pillar of SA’s industrialisation effort. I shall provide a full report to Parliament in this regard in due course.

GSSSD RESPONSE:

(1) Yes, the Department has a Sexual Harassment Policy in place.

(i) According to the dti Sexual Harassment Policy’s reporting procedure, employees who are of the view that they may have fallen victim of sexual harassment are strongly encouraged to report the case directly to the Manager: Employment Relations or the Manager: Quality of Worklife. All such reports are treated in the strictest confidence and are dealt with in a sensitive and supportive manner. Upon receiving the complaint (due to its employment equity-related nature) the matter is referred to the focal person for Employment Equity and Transformation for thorough investigation. A report with findings and recommendations is compiled and submitted to the Deputy Director-General responsible for employment equity, for implementation.

(ii) Due to the sensitivity and seriousness of sexual harassment, the disciplinary procedure is utilised to address the complaint. In problematic cases of sexual harassment involving sexual assault such as rape, molestation, attempted rape or physical assault, the alleged harasser is suspended with full pay pending the outcome of the disciplinary hearing.

For cases such as attempted rape, molestation, physical assault, rape or persistent harassment, the Chairperson of the disciplinary hearing uses the Disciplinary Code and Procedure to determine the sanction. The victim of sexual assault has the right to open separate criminal and/or civil claims against the alleged harasser and the employer. The legal rights of the complaint are in no way limited by the dti Sexual Harassment Policy.

According to information provided by the management of the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS):

a) The SABS has 30 business units undertaking testing.

b) The SABS conducts testing as part of conformity assessment in line with the prescripts of ISO 17 000. Testing falls into 3 categories as follows; Third Party Testing where a product complies fully with a standard and the testing activities were conducted by an independent third party (SABS); Second Part Testing where the SABS tests products on behalf of another institution which defines the required specification and First Party Testing where the SABS provides product development support to manufacturing companies.

c) The management of the SABS has not provided a satisfactory response containing the requisite information. I have written to the SABS management demanding that they do in fact provide an urgent response to the Department of Trade and Industry.

d) As above.

e) As above.

The Department of Trade and Industry is the only shareholder of the SABS. In my capacity as the Minister of Trade and Industry, in the light of the above and with respect to ongoing concerns relating to the SABS testing function, I recently gave instructions to the SABS Board to urgently oversee a detailed process to develop a turnaround strategy for SABS.

I shall provide a full report to Parliament in this regard in due course.

With reference to the fatal train crash at the Geldenhuys Train Station in Germiston on 9 January 2018, (a) how often was the signalling system (i) tested and (ii) maintained (aa) in the (aaa) 2014-15, (bbb) 2015-16 and (ccc) 2016-17 financial year and (bb) since 1 April 2017 and (b)(i) what were the results of each test respectively and (ii) what action was taken in each case?

Reply:

a) Signalling system:

i & ii) On a monthly basis job cards are issued for maintenance and during the maintenance execution the correspondence tests are conducted. The cycle for both testing and maintenance is 3 monthly and 6 monthly based on the type of sub-system. This is referred to as Planned Maintenance. The region did not capture the information on planned maintenance prior to 2017 calendar year. This has been rectified and maintenance job cards are now captured on the Infrastructure Maintenance system. Breakdowns or unplanned maintenance was captured.

aa)

aaa) 2014-15: The standard report from the Infrastructure Maintenance system is provided in calendar years and only the last three years’ information is active.

bbb) 2015 (January to December 2015)

The region did not capture the information on planned maintenance prior to 2017 calendar year. This has been rectified and maintenance job cards are now captured on the Infrastructure Maintenance system. Breakdowns or unplanned maintenance was captured.

ccc) 2016 (January to December 2016)

The region did not capture the information on planned maintenance prior to 2017 calendar year. This has been rectified and maintenance job cards are now captured on the Infrastructure Maintenance system. Breakdowns or unplanned maintenance was captured.

bb) 2017 (January to December 2017)

b) (i) When correspondence tests are conducted as part of routine maintenance as per above maintenance frequencies and there are defects detected during the tests, those defects are attended to and in cases where they cannot be rectified immediately, the train control office is informed immediately just like it was informed during theft of more than 100 meters of various signalling cables at Geldenhuys during the festive season 2017.

Furthermore the Section between Cleveland and Driehoek has been under construction over the past year. The construction work was aimed at replacement of an obsolete signalling system with the latest technology. The new signalling system at Geldenhuys was fully tested and commissioned on 30 November 2017. Due to recurrence of cable theft during the festive season, the new signalling system was then affected and hence manual train authorization was introduced as part of the contingency plan for train working.

ii) Records of the results of tests and actions are kept at the depot level and are not captured on the system. There are plans to capture this on the Maintenance system going forward.

Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Communications

Whether a certain official (details furnished) was still working at the Media Development and Diversity Agency after 8 September 2017, following a memo that was signed by a certain senior official (name and details furnished); if so, (a) why and (b) what are the further relevant details?

Reply:

(a) Yes, the services of the official were needed in order to ensure smooth continuity in the operations. At the time, the recruitment for the position was not finalised.

(b) Approval was sought and obtained from the Board of Directors to continue engaging the services of the official until 31 October 2017. Reasons for continuing with the services are as follows:

The contract was supposed to end on 8 September 2017, however the Company Secretary took ill from 6 September 2017 and in her absence, there was no-one available with the required experience of working with the MDDA Board. The services of the official were therefore extended to enable ongoing operational support for the Board.
Furthermore, the Company Secretary was appointed ACEO from 9 October 2017 and the added responsibilities at ACEO level meant that she would require secretarial assistance, both to support her in her role as ACEO and to take over the operational support of the Board.
The contract has since been terminated.
