The Auditor-General of South Africa audits the NIHSS in terms of Section 38 of the Higher Education Act and since its inception has received unqualified audit opinions.

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.

Source

Reply:

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.

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

Schools and learners who are not transported due to budgetary constraints are kept on a database and prioritised when additional funding becomes available.
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.

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.

1. The project, N2 Wild Coast Toll Road, has been declared as a Strategic Infrastructure Project (SIP) by the Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission (PICC) and has been approved for implementation. The project has the support of the Eastern Cape Provincial Government, both the District and Local Municipalities through whose territory the route alignment traverses, the Traditional Leadership (Kings and Chiefs), Business Chambers, Communities and other stakeholders. As with other projects, there will always be some interested and affected parties that are against the project. The project enjoys overwhelming support in the Eastern Cape Province in general, and the Wild Coast in particular. The Record of Decision (ROD) was issued by the Department of Environmental Affairs in 2010 and has been implemented since that time on many projects along the N2 Wild Coast corridor. The ROD was appealed in 2010 but authorization was upheld by the Minister of Environmental Affairs. It is therefore still valid today. The matter that could be destined for court proceedings is a belated review application, launched in 2012, that seeks to question the validity of the ROD and desirability of the project. This matter is subject to legal processes and both the Department of Environmental Affairs and the Department of Transport along with SANRAL will do everything in their power to defend this very important project for the South African and Eastern Cape economies, and for the people of the Wild coast area.

2. (a) Numerous meetings were held with communities and specific responses were made in writing. The written responses to issues raised by the various communities were sent through the former Mayor of Mbizana Local Municipality to be shared with the various communities.

b) When SANRAL had engaged with the communities they indicated that what SANRAL indicated would be done during the implementation of the project was not what they were told. This is with specific reference to what was said by the AmaDiba Crisis Committee (ACC), who insisted that the road was to be constructed to facilitate dune mining along the Wild Coast. SANRAL has continuously rejected this claim, demonstrating the logic and purpose of this critical section of the N2 corridor. Once informed of the correct facts, communities pledged their support for the project on condition that SANRAL responded in writing to the issues that they raised. This was done via the office of the Mbizana Mayor. The communities in question, i.e the Mdatya and Sigidi communities subsequently withdrew their objection to the project.

c) Consultations in the form of stakeholder engagement sessions are ongoing with the local communities with the last ones held on the 24th and 25th January 2018 at the Wild Coast Sun in the Mbizana Municipality. Invitations were extended to the OR Tambo and Alftrd Nzo District Municipalities as well as all the local municipalities in those districts. Traditional Leaders and Business Chambers were also invited. All these stakeholders were represented in the sessions. These stakeholder engagement sessions are planned for every quarter of the year.

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.

Hunsinger, Dr CH to ask the Minister of Transport

Why do applicants for a motorbike licence who are holders of a motor vehicle licence have to apply for a motorbike learner licence?

Source

Reply:

The National Road Traffic Act, 1996 (Act No. 93 of 1996) and its Regulations, provides for the manner in which driving licences are to be issued. In terms of Section 12 of the mentioned Act it is provided that, no person shall drive a motor vehicle on a public road unless the person has an appropriate licence for such vehicle and unless the person keeps such licence in the vehicle. Further, Section 13 determines that no person shall be examined or tested for the purposes to issue a driving licence unless such person holds a learner’s licence.

Regulation 99(1)(a)(b) and (c) of the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2000 sets out the different categories of learner’s licences, which are:

(a) Code 1 (learner’s licence for to motor cycles);

(b) Code 2 (learner’s licence for light motor vehicles);and

(c) Code 3 (learner’s licence for heavy motor vehicles and combinations of vehicles).

Both Code 2 and 3 does not include any questions specific to the operation of motor cycles. The rationale for the above is because a person who applies to hold a driving licence for either a light or heavy motor vehicle does not necessarily intend to also hold a motor cycle licence.

Furthermore, the same principle applies in the case where a person who is the holder of a code B driving licence, who intends to apply for a Code C driving licence will have to undergo a process of obtaining a Learner’s Licence again, this time for a Code 3 learner’s licence.

The reason for this is because all the three Codes of learner’s licence differ with regard to the rules of the road and the controls for the operation of the respective motor vehicles.

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.

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:

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?

Source

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).

Reply:

The Council of the university is responsible for ensuring that where allegations of fraud and corruption are reported, appropriate investigations are undertaken. Following the investigations, the Council is responsibe for ensuring that appropriate action is taken. The university must manage these issues in terms of their internal policies. Where the Council determines that internal disciplinary processes are not sufficient, they are responsible for reporting to the relevant law enforcement authorities for further action and consideration whether a criminal case should be opened or not.

Reply:

a) (i) The Chairperson is Mr Pumzile Kedama.

(ii) The Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is Ms Keitumetse Pebane.

(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.

The National Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS) has provided the following responses.

1. (a) (i) (aa) 116 suppliers did business with the NIHSS for operations through Supply Chain Management (SCM) processes in the 2015/16 financial year.

(bb) 105 suppliers did business with the NIHSS for operations through SCM processes in the 2016/17 financial year.

(ii) 79 suppliers did business with the NIHSS for operations through SCM processes in the 2017/18 financial year from 1 April 2017 to date.

(b) The NIHSS was established in December 2013. During the 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years, the NIHSS did not have any policies. The financial management function was initially outsourced to the Centre for Education Policy Development (CEPD) and later to Deloitte Consulting who was tasked to assist the NIHSS with the development of financial policies. The SCM policies were developed and approved by the Board towards the end of the 2015/16 financial year. Prior to approval of the policies and in the absence of a Supply Chain Management division, all procurements were done by end users of divisions, on a 3-quotation basis. Tenders were done by Deloitte in terms of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, 2000 (Act No 5 of 2000). Therefore, there was no requirement to obtain tax clearances, except in the instances of tenders and is thus non applicable as shown in table below. Relevant details of the (i) names of the specified suppliers, (ii) goods and/or services procured and (iii) monetary value of each contract and (c) 35 number of the suppliers did not have tax clearance certificates as indicated in the table below:

(c) For 2015/16, out of the 116 suppliers, 35 did not have tax clearance certificates; In 2016/17, out of the 105 suppliers, 7 suppliers did not have tax clearance certificates. In the 2017/18 financial year, out of the 79 suppliers appointed to date, 4 suppliers did not have tax clearance certificates.

In all the above instances, the delegated authority would have approved and signed the contracts, i.e. the Chief Executive Officer if above R30 000 and Chief Financial Officer if below R30 000.

In each of the above cases, the absence of the tax clearance certificates was noticed at the point of procurement. Below are the reasons for continuing with procurement:

2015/16

Dial Travel – these were individual transaction which were less than R2 000 each. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash. The individual transactions were as follows:

15-Apr-16	PO0098	Cash	730.00
15-Apr-16	PO0097	Cash	450.00
22-Apr-16	PO0087	Cash	830.00
27-May-16	GRV0300	Cash	1 000.00
26-Aug-16	GRV0815	Cash	1 450.00
26-Aug-16	GRV0818	Cash	1 360.00
10-Sep-16	GRV0899	Cash	1 000.00
10-Sep-16	GRV0900	Cash	840.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1390	Cash	1 800.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1390	Cash	480.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1391	Cash	1 590.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1424	Cash	1 420.00
18-Nov-16	GRV1425	Cash	1 740.00
25-Nov-16	GRV1483	Cash	1 000.00
12-Dec-16	GRV1728	Cash	1 370.00
12-Dec-16	GRV1727	Cash	480.00
	Total		R17 540

Slicy Delicious (Pty) Ltd – purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Deli Express - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Auditor-General – tax clearance is not applicable as the procurement is not done through SCM and competitive bidding. It is mandatory that the external audit is performed by the Auditor-General of South Africa.

Telkom Mobile - the contract with Telkom was for the telephones and data which was entered before the SCM policy was approved and implemented. SCM procedures, therefore did not apply at inception of the contract.

James Citron Electrical CC t/a J's Electrical - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than
R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Moneyline 1351 (Pty) Ltd T/A Postnet Parktown - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

2017/18 (from 1 April 2017 to date)

Auditor-General – tax clearance is not applicable as the procurement is not done through SCM and competitive bidding. It is mandatory that the external audit is performed by the Auditor-General of South Africa.

Ayaba Fire Training - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Two Pianists Records CC - purchase less than R2 000. The NIHSS SCM policy does not require tax clearance certificates for purchases less than R2 000 and for those done through petty cash.

Mr Mark Patrick T/A Reliance TV – requests for quotation was sent to 3 suppliers, however, only one responded with a quotation. A deviation was therefore requested to deviate from SCM procedures. The deviation was approved by the delegated authority.

3. For all instances of absence of tax clearance certificates, management was satisfied that the procurements were done correctly in terms of the NIHSS policy, therefore, no further investigation or disciplinary actions was necessary.

4. To the best of management’s knowledge, none of the directors of the above companies were related to any NIHSS official.

5. For all instances of absence of tax clearance certificates, management was satisfied that the procurements were done correctly in terms of the NIHSS policy, therefore, no further investigation or disciplinary action was necessary.

(b) CATHSSETA has filed for a counter-application to pray for a Declaratory Order to the effect that it has complied with its obligations in terms of the agreement entered into with the bursary recipient. The latter has to repay the amounts that were overpaid for the third and fourth year of his studies. The matter was set down for hearing on 29 January 2018.

4. There were irregularities in the awarding of the bursary, as there were no policies regulating the process of awarding international bursaries. Furthermore, the amount awarded was not in line with the CATHSSETA bursary funding framework of R67 000.00 per learner. The relevant staff members were accordingly charged with misconduct.

5. Costs still needs to be confirmed and will be made available when finalised.

(b) A two-year contract was awarded in the 2016/17 financial year.

(c) The contract indicated in (b) above is for a period of two years and therefore continues into the 2017/18 financial year.

Over and above student contracts, the NIHSS also has contracts with service providers that are procured through the supply chain management process. The contracts with service providers need to be legally binding to ensure that the NIHSS is covered in the event of any dispute, and also to ensure that the quality of goods and services are monitored.

MSMM was appointed to vet all NIHSS contracts. This contributes to the mandate of the NIHSS as it supports work done on scholarships as well as NIHSS’s operations.
