(ii) The reason for the variances is due to a combination of the following factors, which are not specific to any particular institution:

Returning NSFAS students are eligible for continuous funding and are automatically funded by NSFAS for the next academic year/semester, provided they pass their modules and meet the progression requirements of the course and institution. Some universities submitted the academic results late to NSFAS;
Requests from institutions to do “top up” allowances throughout the academic year. Tuition and allowance payments to institutions and students are initially made based on registration data that is sent by the university to NSFAS at the start of the academic year. However, during the year, universities submit tuition and allowance adjustments after NSFAS has received the original registration files, processed tuition and initial allowance payments. This situation was exacerbated by the increased volume of “top up” allowances processed in 2017;
Given that 2017 represented the first year that NSFAS systems were integrated with institutional student funding systems, there were challenges experienced with the transfer of registration information. These included instances where the course code information at universities did not match the NSFAS records and where allowance values and tuition values have not been transferred in the required format to NSFAS systems;
Challenges experienced with ensuring that students signed their Loan Agreement Forms/Statement of Particulars (LAFSOPs). This is partially attributed to the frequency with which students change their cell phone numbers. Efforts to ensure that NSFAS staff have been present and visible at campuses to assist in the signing of these LAFSOPs have been ongoing through the latter half of the year and has made a significant difference to the effectiveness of the LAFSOPs signing process. In addition, in some instances, NSFAS has made paper-based forms available to universities for signature and then reviewed and reconciled by NSFAS prior to payment. From 2018, students will be able to change their cell phone numbers online by accessing the MyNSFAS Portal; and
In some cases, due to unexpected NSFAS system time-outs, a full funding processing cycle was not completed resulting in incomplete student loans being created in the systems. As a consequence, lengthy manual checks and reconciliations needed to be performed to ensure that correct loan accounts were created and allowances subsequently disbursed.

(c) (i) NSFAS has communicated with students in the following ways in an effort to increase awareness of the importance of students’ signing their loan or bursary agreements:

Media releases;
Social media, for instance, Twitter and Facebook; and
Direct SMS’s and emails sent to students.

(ii) NSFAS is busy with the “close-off” of all 2017 funding and allowance processing to ensure that all eligible funded students receive any allowances that are still due to them. Additionally, there are a number of projects introduced, which have the objective of improving the funding and allowance disbursement process in 2018. All processes will be automated and data exception reporting will be implemented.

(iii) None.

Reply:

(a) The incidents recorded in Table Mountain National Park are mainly robberies and are as follows:

(i) (aa) 2013 (there were 11);

(bb) 2014 (there were 16);

(cc) 2015 (there were 19);

(dd) 2016 (there were 11); and

(ee) 2017 (there were 22)

(ii) There have been six and one fatal incident since 01 January 2018

(b) The following actions were taken .

Additional resources were deployed to the affected areas.

Various operational plans are being reviewed and considered, including:

Joint operations with South African Police Services (SAPS);
surveillance observation points to monitor the mountain;
increased patrols in the area; and
deployment of a South African National Parks dog unit.

Also media relations interventions are ongoing.

Strategic focus areas were identified for investigation, including:

- Planning and implementation of operations;
- permeability of the urban edge;
- establishment of a Joint Operations Centre;
- establishment of a rapid response team;
- technology options;
- ranger capablity to meet ever changing challenges; and
- proactive communications.

The South African National Parks held a Chief Executive Office (CEO) Security Cluster Meeting that was attended by:

CEO: SANParks and the Park representatives;
representative of the Provincial Police Commissioner of the Western Cape;
representative of the SAPS Cluster;
Head of Department for Community Safety representing the Member of Executive Council;
Wilderness Search and Rescue;
South African Navy; and
the City of Cape Town did not send a representative.

The South African National Parks (SANParks) and SAPS continue to work together to implement operational plans and joint patrols in order to keep crime to a minimum and also to address safety concerns across the Park. On 13 February 2018, two suspects were arrested and charged with robbery in the Kalk Bay mountain hiking trail area. They appeared in the Muizenberg Magistrate’s Court and are still in custody.

Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs

Whether Sub 8 of the Heartsease Farm number 3291 in the Okhahlamba Local Municipality, in KwaZulu-Natal, where the construction of a petrol station is proposed, falls within the proposed United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization buffer zone surrounding the Okhahlamba World Heritage Site; if so, what steps has her Department taken to ensure that the proposed construction does not proceed; if not, what are the relevant details; and (2) whether her Department conducted any research and/or studies to determine the potential impact of the proposed construction on the tourism sector that is linked to the World Heritage Site; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the outcomes?

Source
Link

Reply:

1. Yes, the anticipated development is within the proposed buffer zone of Maloti-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site. The draft Basic Assessment Report (BAR) is still under review, and it is important to note that the decision on whether the development proceeds or not and under what conditions will be informed by the assessment that has been commissioned. Because the proposed development is in the vicinity of the World Heritage Site, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Practice Note on Environmental Impact Assessments and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) Guidelines on Heritage Impact Assessment will be taken into consideration, as required by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

2. The Basic assessment process will ascertain, inter alia, any socio-economic and cultural considerations, including relevant studies and permissions to be sought in this regard, not excluding those relating to or relevant tourism and conservation of the world heritage property.

a) It is unclear what is meant by “trust funds”. The Branch Masters, within the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, administer the registration of “trusts” in terms of Trust Property Control Act 57 of 1988, which legislation does not cover trusts funds. Accordingly, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will not know the number of “trust funds” registered for the period referred to in the questions.

b) – (e) Responses to these questions, which were depended on question (a) above, is that the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has no information requested because of answer in (a) hereinabove.

The Ministerial Handbook provides guidelines on the appointment of the staff in the Private Office. It equally provides the recommended salary levels of each post. The salary levels are adjusted on an annual basis as prescribed in the Public Service Regulations.

The Office of the Minister has a staff complement as defined in the Ministerial Handbook. In line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPi) and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act I am unable to provide the members with such confidential information in the manner it is requested.

I however draw the honourable members to the department’s Annual Report wherein the organogram of the department provides the information required. Should it be insufficient, the department will make the personal files of the officials available for further scrutiny by the Auditor General as prescribed by the Act.

a) Clanwilliam Dam

Site establishment activities for the Raising of Clanwilliam Dam project commenced in June 2014 and were completed in September 2016. The remainder of the Scope of Works for the construction of the Raising of Clanwilliam Dam will be done by a private construction contractor. This contractor will be procured through a competitive bidding process is line with Government’s Supply Chain Policies and Regulations.

Berg River Voëlvlei Augmentation Scheme (BRVAS)

Trans Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA) has commenced with the implementation of the project. Stakeholder engagement is in progress including negotiations with the water users in order to develop offtake agreements. The procurement of the Engineering Professional Service Provider (PSP) is also in progress; the tender has been advertised and will close on 6 April 2018.

Brandvlei Dam

The final outcome of this proposed project will be an increase of the Brandvlei Dam`s canal by 30cm. This will allow and additional amount of water to be diverted during the winter months for storage which will bring an additional area under irrigation. Further phases to increase the yield can include the upgrading of the 30 year old Papenkuils pump station in the Breede River. This project is clearly linked to the National Development Plan (NDP) as well as the outcomes derived from it.

b) Clanwilliam Dam

The bid for the appointment of a private sector construction contractor was issued on 26 August 2016 and closed on 9 November 2016. However, due to unavailability of funds for the construction phase of the project, the tender bid could not be awarded.

Berg River Voëlvlei Augmentation Scheme (BRVAS)

Unavailability of funding for the project delayed the project. My Department and TCTA are at advanced stage to secure funding and the National Treasury guarantees for the implementation of the project.

Brandvlei Dam

Unavailability of funding for the project delayed the project. The Provincial Department of Agriculture submitted a proposal for funding under the General Budget Support (GBS) component of the EU-funded National Development Support Programme for the first phase to raise the current canal with 30cm. No final decision was taken on the upgrading of the Papenkuils pump station.

c) Clanwilliam Dam

The construction phase of the project will commence when funding becomes available. In a bid to source funding, the project was submitted to National Treasury for inclusion in the budget facility for infrastructure for strategic projects.

Berg River Voëlvlei Augmentation Scheme (BRVAS)

TCTA has adopted a fast tracked approach to project implementation and legislative requirements, including borrowing authority approvals which will result in construction commencing in October 2019 with water delivery milestone being achieved in March 2021.

Brandvlei Dam

As the DWS owns the Brandvlei Dam and associated infrastructure, they will be the lead agency responsible for the design of the infrastructure to be constructed, overseeing the construction and to identify and appoint the construction company (either in-house or externally). The Brandvlei Intergovernmental Steering Committee, consisting of 18 directly involved or affected organs of state, will oversee the implementation of this project.
