Reply:

1.The decision of the Chief Justice that, in future, English will be the official language of record was not published in the Government Gazette.

I am not in a position to respond on behalf of the Chief Justice as to why it was considered not necessary to publish it in the Government Gazette, if it was considered as a decision falling under section 8(3) of the Superior Courts Act, 2013.

2. I am aware of the the decision of the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) published in Government Gazette No. 24121 of 29 November 2002, in respect of Board Notice 99 of 2002;

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is in the process of developing a policy on the interpretation service which includes provisions on the language of court proceedings (langauge use), as well as a possible position on the language of record for the courts. This policy will inform legislative reform to determine the language of record for the courts, as well as the language of court proceedings.

3. and (4) See response in point (2) above on legislative reform. Additionally, any legislative proposal must consider and uphold the principle of separation of powers between the executive and the judiciary.

(1)(a) What was the purpose of the R2,1 million that was paid as a once-off gratuity to the former Minister of Energy shown on page 182 of the 2017 adjusted estimates of national expenditure of Vote No 26: Energy, (b) why was it paid and (c) What are the details of the gratuity; (2) (a) Why is there a shift of R17 million on the same page from the National Solar Water Heater Project to personnel remuneration, travel, gratuity, events and relocation costs, (b) what are the implications of this shift in funds for the project and (c) what are the current targets and achievements for this project for the current year?

Reply:

1. (a) The purpose of the R2.1 million is a once off gratuity paid in accordance with Proclamation by the President of the Republic of South Africa No. 50, 2008. It is in line with paragraph 3.3 once off gratuity for Members of Executive or Deputy Ministers who have served more than 5 years and whose term of office has ended.

(b) The former Minister had served more than 5 years and her term of office had ended from 31st March 2017.

(c) The details of the gratuity are as follows:

i) 4 months pensionable salary for every 5 years term amounting to R 1,847,408.96

ii) Pro-rata part of the 5 year period (last term) 1 May 2014 – 31 March 2017 amounting to R 269,413.81

(2) (a) There was a shift of R17 million from the National Solar Water Heater Project to personnel remuneration, travel, gratuity, events and relocation costs because of the savings under SWHP that could be utilised to defray excess expenditure in those items. The shift was done in line with Section 43(1) of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999.

(2) (b) The shift of R17 million has had a minimal impact on the project. The budget was largely allocated for installation of solar water heaters for the financial year 2017/18 which had not commenced by end of September 2017, as the department is currently busy with compliance requirements of governance. For the remaining months of the current financial year the achievable number of installations will not be impacted upon by the shift of funds.

(2) (c) The current targets for this project for the current year, is to increase the number of procured baseline systems in line with the budget allocation and train youth on the installation of solar water heaters at targeted municipalities. In terms of the achievement, the Department increased the number of procured baseline systems from 42 196 in 2016/17 to 87 206 in 2017/18.

What are the details including the ranks of service providers and/or contractors from which (a) his department and (b) the entities reporting to him procured services in the past five years; (2) what (a) service was provided by each service provider and/or contractor and (b) amount was each service provider and/or contractor paid; (3) (a) how many of these service providers are black-owned entities, (b) what contract was each of the black-owned service providers awarded and (c) how much was each black-owned service provider paid?

Reply:

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DoJ&CD) has provided a high-level response to the questions above. A list of all major contracts awarded to BEE level 1 to 3 is included for sake of interest. Due to the volume of procurement, a full list of procurement during this period is not provided.

The DoJ&CD utilised the following method and rationale in arriving at the statistical conclusions populated below:

(i) the data is based on contracts above R500k concluded with service providers using a SCM process; and

(ii) the BEE levels of service providers are, as at time of contract award as the level status may have been amended post the implementation of the new preferential procurement regulation of 2017.

Part (C) of the question cannot be addressed due to the fact that the regulations were only amended with effect from 1 April 2017 that allows for a different allocation and adjudication process that support specifically black-owned entities. For the previous years, the BEE levels addressed ownership as well as investment in redress activities.

An estimated total amount of R6.2 billion worth of contracts had been awarded by the DoJ&CD to various suppliers/service providers since 2006.

I have been informed by the Director of the Public Prosecution for the Western Cape as follows:

c) The police investigation has been completed. However, it is unknown whether the presiding officer will have further queries regarding any evidence. Should the presiding officer raise further queries, they will be attended to as quickly as possible.

Vos, Mr J to ask the Minister of Tourism

Whether there is a reliable water supply to the Royal Khalanga Accommodation Lodge in Limpopo; if not, by what date will a reliable water source be put in place; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

In 2014, three (3) boreholes were drilled within the lodge site and none of these yielded positive results. Subsequent to this attempt, a borehole was drilled some 3km away from the site, and that borehole which yielded water. The water from this borehole was tested and declared fit for human consumption. The borehole was equipped and a pipeline connected to supply water to the lodge. The same borehole also supplied water to the local Cultural Village. The supply of water from the borehole was sufficient to complete the work required for the project and for operations once the project was handed over by the Department to the Owning Entity, the Valoyi Traditional Authority Trust, in May 2016.

Due to the number of employees that travelled abroad, during the lengthy period of time, for which information is requested, (4 225 foreign air tickets) and taking into account the various transactions and the documents which are to be analysed, it will be extremely time consuming and will place an unreasonable burden on the resources of the SAPS to obtain the information in these categories, as requested. The information requested is not readily available in the financial accounting structure (Standard Chart of Accounts) of the SAPS and can therefore, not be extracted electronically.

(a)(ii) The requested information is part of the statistical information, which must be published by the Minister of Police.

(b)(i)(ii)(iii) The number of firearms, as mentioned in paragraph (a) supra, were recovered by the South African Police Service (SAPS). Due to the fact that the majority of the firearms are unidentifiable (i.e. serial number erased), it is not always possible to link these firearms to official institutions such as the SAPS, security service providers and private persons.

Taking the above into consideration, this office cannot provide reliable figures, regarding part (b) of this question.

Vos, Mr J to ask the Minister of Tourism

Whether, in line with the National Tourism Sector Strategy which makes provision for partnerships with municipalities to convert underutilised resorts into budget resorts, any such programs have been implemented; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

Tourism is a concurrent function. Although the Department conducted an audit which provided a baseline of municipal and provincially owned tourism assets, the decision to convert these underutilised resorts into budget resorts must be taken by the responsible owning entities. This audit report, produced in partnership with the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), was made available to all provinces for their project and budget planning purposes of their tourism assets. The Department remains committed to providing support to Provincial and Municipal projects from a planning and investment packaging perspective in cases where municipalities have decided to pursue the budget resort approach.

The member is kindly referred to the responses by myself and my predecessor the past two years on the issue of municipal and provincially owned tourism assets.

As per previous responses the Department of Tourism cannot pursue the Budget Resort Concept independently but only in agreement and partnership with the owners of the tourism asset e.g. municipalities and /or Provinces.

(1)What is the current status of the construction of the Rietspruit Outfall Sewer Pipeline in Midvaal and Emfuleni which is currently threatening the construction of houses in Savanna City; (2) has a contractor been appointed; if not, (a) why not and (b) by what date will a contractor be appointed; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) what is the planned completion date of the project?

Reply:

(1) Rietspruit Outfall Sewer Pipeline project has recently been incorporated into the Sedibeng Regional Sewer Scheme (SRSS) based on the recommendation of the SRSS Technical Feasibility Study review. Risimati Consulting Engineers Pty (Ltd) were appointed by Emfuleni Municipality before the project was incorporated into the SRSS and to date, about 50% of the detail design of the sewer pipeline has been completed. Since the project is now part of the SRSS and Rand Water is the Implementing Agent for SRSS, the Risimati contract is to be ceded to Rand Water. Currently the due diligence exercise is underway at Rand Water, and it is about 90% complete.

(2) No, the contractor has not yet been appointed. Once the Rasimati Consulting Engineers have completed the detail design of the sewer outfall pipeline, then a competent contractor to do the construction work will be appointed following Rand Water’s procurement process.

(3) Subject to availability of funds, the Rietspruit Outfall Sewer pipeline project will commence in the next financial year, and will run for a period of 3 years.

America, Mr D to ask the Minister of Police

(1)What are the names of the Brigadier-Generals in the SA Police Service who failed to attain security clearance; (2) will they be dismissed from their position; if not, why not; if so, on what date?

Reply:

(1) and (2) There are two Major-Generals whose files were closed in 2016, without issuing the clearance certificates. Their files were closed because they had not submitted all the required documentation.

These Major-Generals are now required to re-apply, in terms of the new directive by the National Commissioner. The directive instructs all Generals and Brigadiers to submit their applications before the end of December 2017. Their names cannot yet be disclosed, considering that, together with all members of senior management, they have been afforded the opportunity to re-apply within the stipulated time frames.

In the interim, members of the Senior Management Service (SMS), are being dealt with in terms of Section 70 and 71 of the South African Police Service Act, which require them to take an oath of secrecy.

Furthermore, consistent with the requirements of the Minimum Information Security Standards (MISS) policy, the respective supervisors must, at the end of every financial year, furnish a certificate regarding the security conduct of persons who do not yet possess security clearance certificates.

The MISS policy states, amongst others, that “the screening authority will merely make a recommendation regarding the security competence of the person concerned, to the head of the requesting institution, and this should in no way be seen as a final testimonial, as far as the utilisation of the person is concerned”. The relevant legislation and the MISS do not provide for the dismissal of persons who fail to obtain security clearance certificates.

Taking the above into account, it is clear that each case will have to be considered on its own merit.

In view of the recent closure of the laboratory in KwaZulu-Natal due to flooding for the fourth time, what arrangements has he made regarding the transportation of all the firearms to be handed in during the proposed Firearm Amnesty period in 2018 to alternative laboratories in the country?

Reply:

The flooding occured in the Chemistry and Biology Sections, in the KwaZulu-Natal Forensic Science Laboratory and did not affect the Ballistic Section, which is a separate facility. Therefore, no impact was experienced, due to the flooding of the Ballistic Section (including the Integrated Ballistic Identification System). The Ballistic Section will, therefore, be able to receive and process all test specimens or firearms during the proposed Firearm Amnesty.
