a) During the year of reporting the details for each of the formations was not captured as a key requirement. This detail has now started to be collected and will be availed in future reporting cycles as required.

b) The nature of businesses registered on the business register is varied. The attached list of companies on the Skills Development and Empowerment Business Support Unit Register shows what the nature of each of the businesses is.

c) The submitted reports have captured the Province of each business location but has not yet lifted the actual town in the province. It is important to show that most business submissions in the year of reporting have been from Gauteng province. This has arisen out of the proximity of the National office to access for military veterans in Gauteng. Going forward, the data set for collection will be expanded to give the details for the towns of business locations. Further, with the presence of provincial coordinators in provinces, it is envisaged that details for military veterans businesses in provinces other than Gauteng will also be submitted.

The goods and services are classified according to Standard Chart of Account based on their nature as well their type and the expenditure for goods and services is disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements and Annual report tabled in Parliament every year.

Goods and services are procured using the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and Regulations. The Regulations prescribe the preference points that can be claimed in accordance with the BEE status level of the supplier.

With effect from 1 April 2016, National Treasury implemented an online central supplier database (CSD) where all suppliers and service providers registered and captured their details including their BBBEE status level etc. It has made it compulsory for government entities to use only suppliers registered on this database. The CSD maintains data on expenditure categories and supplier information. All suppliers’ details can be found on National Treasury supplier database (CSD).

2. (a) The goods and services referred to office accommodation, security, cleaning services, stationery, furniture and office equipment, professional services, catering and promotional material etc.

(b) The amount paid to suppliers and service provider depend on the size, nature and type of goods and services procured.

3. (a) The Department of Social Development, has been sourcing goods and services in terms of PPPFA Act No 5 of 2000. The Act provides the Preferential scoring model where all suppliers and services providers who submit their bid proposals were scored and evaluated against the said prescripts, and the award is made to the bidder who scores high preferential points for BBBEE and price.

(b) The Department of Social Development procured goods and services in line with the requirements of PPPFA Act where the BBBEE status of every bidder is considered in the preferential scoring model and as such suppliers were awarded accordingly.

The goods and services are classified according to Standard Chart of Account based on their nature and type. Such expenditure is disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements and Annual report tabled in Parliament every year. Before April 2016, the Agency utilised Historically Disadvantages Individual (HDI) which was the procurement requirements at the time in the application and compliance to PPPFA and BEE. From 01 April 2016, National Treasury established an online central supplier database (CSD) where all suppliers and service providers registered and captured their details including their BBBEE status level etc. SASSA sourced goods and services from suppliers and service providers registered on CSD. All suppliers’ details can be found on National Treasury supplier database (CSD).

SANRAL already has a full allocation for the construction of the Mtentu and Msikaba mega-bridges, which are currently under construction and on tender respectively. SANRAL has also allocated sufficient funds for the construction of access roads, referred to as haul roads, to provide access to the bridge sites. SANRAL has over the past few years improved the brownfields section of the N2 between uMthatha and Port St Johns through its budget allocations. In addition, SANRAL has also allocated funds for community development projects that are intended to benefit communities along the N2 route alignment in the Wild Coast area.

Finally, as of 2017/18 Government has allocated funding for the construction of the greenfields section of the N2 from Port St Johns to Port Edward (see table below). This demonstrates Government’s commitment to the successful delivery of this important project in the Eastern Cape. The Minister of Transport will soon table the proposed toll model for the operations and maintenance of the N2 Wild Coast to Cabinet.

I have been informed by SA Post Office as follows:

a) There were some disagreements on the implementation of the Services Agreement that was signed on 08 December 2017. SAPO required sign-offs in line with the agreed Service Agreement timelines but they were being delayed by SASSA. This was flagged on numerous occasions but still there were no formal sign-offs provided. Only verbal commitments were made which somewhat compromised the governance protocol. In addition, SAPO learnt of the appointment of the work streams to provide technical advice to SASSA. The introduction of this team posed a risk in that the already agreed but not yet signed-off specifications could be changed and therefore delays the implementation process. It was on this basis that SAPO requested the intervention of the DPME DG raising early warning signals about the potential delays that are caused by factors outside of SAPO’s control.

b) The DG of the DPME mediated on the matter between both CEOs supported by the DG of the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services (DTPS) and contingencies were initiated by SAPO and agreed with SASSA to mitigate any possible delays. In addition, ongoing communications and regular meetings are held through steering committees and focus Area groups. SAPO has since assured that all issues that were outstanding have been adequately mitigated upon and the project is now on track.

(a) The following three police stations are excluded from the proposed firearms amnesty.

• Isipingo.
• Bellville South.
• Kanyamazane.

(b) These police stations are situated in the following provinces respectively:

• Isipingo KwaZulu-Natal.
• Bellville South Western Cape.
• Kanyamazane Mpumalanga.

(c) These police stations have been selected, based on the following reasons:

Firstly, the following number of firearms have been reported lost/stolen from the Exhibit Management Stores (SAPS 13 Stores) of the respective police stations, during the period 1 April 2016 to 31 October 2017:

Isipingo Police Station - 31firearms.

Bellville South Police Station - 18 firearms.

Kanyamazane Police Station - three firearms.

The reported losses/theft of firearms from the SAPS 13 Stores at these police stations have been tabled as a high risk.

Secondly, the criminal investigations pertaining to the losses/theft of firearms at these SAPS 13 Stores, are still pending and the conclusion thereof needs to be examined, in order to implement preventative measures.

Thirdly, it is in the interest of the firearms amnesty that there must not be any doubt with persons, who wish to participate in the surrendering of firearms during the amnesty period, that such firearms will not be safely kept in the SAPS 13 Stores at police stations.

Fourthly, allowing firearms to be surrendered at the above identified three police stations, may negatively influence the firearms amnesty, which may have a detrimental effect on the success of the amnesty.

It is still the ultimate view and wish of the South African Police Service that the above three police stations must not be excluded from the firearms amnesty but that additional safety measures be implemented at these police stations by the respective provincial commissioners and that an extreme tightened monitoring and auditing system be adopted at these police stations such as daily inspections from the office of the Cluster Commander.

a) The Forensic Science Laboratory, in Amanzimtoti, which hosts the Biology and Chemistry Sections, was flooded on 10 October 2017. This resulted in damage to the property and the evacuation of staff. A total of 89 staff members have been affected and need to be relocated to other laboratories in the country. The cost relating to this incident, will depend on the actual cost and time taken to repair and refurbish the damaged laboratory, including the relocation costs to temporary facilities and the relocation of the services and staff members.

It is estimated that the monthly cost will be R1 428 000,00, if 50 analysts, excluding support members, are temporarily relocated to other forensic laboratories outside the province.

b) A total of 2 173 cases, with samples, will also have to be relocated for analysis at other laboratories, in other provinces. The estimated transport costs are R2 000,00.

c) No equipment will be relocated whilst the repair and refurbishment is done. There will be no cost incurred, in this regard.

1a) The requirements for an appointment or promotion in the South African Police Service (SAPS) are uniform and are contained in Policies or National Instructions. No other specific educational qualifications are prescribed for an appointment as a station commander. In respect of the levels below the Senior Management Service, the requirements are, inter alia; at least a National Qualifications Framework (NQF) 4 (level of Grade 12) qualification, with four years service in a particular rank or a NQF 6 (Degree/Diploma) qualification with two years service in a particular rank.

1b) With regard to the mandatory on-the-job training which is offered to station commanders, there are mandatory station lectures that are to be conducted in the station environment, which are monitored at station, cluster and provincial level. In the Human Resource Development environment, as part of formal training, the Station Management Learning Programme is offered to station commanders, which is a formal station management training programme presented at SAPS Academy, Paarl. As part of this learning programme, learners also conduct practical service delivery inspections at selected stations, on which they are evaluated.

a) Out of 52 Commonwealth countries, 22 countries require of South African diplomatic and official passport holders to apply for visas. These countries are: Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Canada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago, Cyprus, Malta, Australia, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. In so far as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is concerned, diplomatic passport holders do not require visas, but official passport holders do require visas.

Ordinary South African passport holders require visas to travel to the following Commonwealth countries: Cameroon, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Canada, Cyprus, Malta, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Australia, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu.

b) In respect of all the countries which require of South African passport holders to be in possession of visas, South Africa reciprocates by requiring visas from their citizens as well, with the exception of Australia, Canada and ordinary passport holders of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. All Australian and Canadian passport holders are exempt from visa requirements, but diplomatic and official passport holders of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland require visas to enter South Africa. Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom passport holders were granted exemption from visa requirements by means of a Cabinet decision dated 4 February 1993. When the authorities of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland imposed visa requirements on all South African passport holders, South Africa reciprocated by imposing visa requirements on that country’s diplomatic and official passport holders. South Africa was later granted a visa exemption for diplomatic passport holders. However, South Africa did not reciprocate by granting the same privileges to British diplomatic passport holders.

c) Former Home Affairs Minister, Mr M K N Gigba, MP, established an inter-departmental task team, with the Department of Home Affairs as the lead department, to review all visa agreements, with a reciprocity approach to be the main objective.

The security contract (DHA07-2014) was held to be irregular because of the following:

1. Non-adherence to the Supply Chain Management (SCM) administrative procedures

• The tender was advertised for a period shorter (18 days) than the prescribed period without a clear approval to deviate from the SCM policy.

• Bidders were disqualified for non-submission of bid requirements which are deemed to be administrative in nature e.g. non- submission of a valid tax clearance certificate.

• There were inconsistencies in the verification of compliance with bid requirements.

2. Bid Evaluation process

• One of the bid evaluation criteria was a site inspection to determine the adequacy of the infrastructure and resources. However, the Bid Evaluation Committee (BEC) changed the criterion and evaluated on the bid documents submitted by the bidders.

• The introduction of the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PRISA) requirements which were not communicated to bidders and resulted in the disqualification of some bidders unfairly prejudiced other bidders.

• The BEC was not consistent during the evaluation specifically on the site inspection in that not all BEC members visited the sites. However, all members scored the bidders on the site visits based on the outcomes of those members who conducted the site visit.

• The functional evaluation score sheets were apparently discussed and agreed upon contrary to the National Treasury SCM Guide for Accounting Officers that requires individual assessment without discussing any aspect of the bid with any of the other members prior to the award of an individual score.

• Scoresheets and B-BBEE score were not captured correctly as they differed to what was captured on the BEC report.

3. Bid Adjudication process

• There is no evidence to substantiate that a quorum of 60% was met before the Bid Adjudication Committee convened to adjudicate the bid.

The need for rehabilitation derives from both the legal framework calling for rehabilitation as well as the need to protect natural resources with acknowledgement of this need contained in the undertaking.

(ii) Concurrent Rehabilitation: The PSJV is responsible to rehabilitate disturbances stemming from their mining / prospecting activities. When the mining moves to a new block they must have rehabilitated the mined-out block or make provisions for the block to be rehabilitated whilst preparing the new block to be mined. (iii) Current mining activities go hand in hand with historically mined out areas therefore whilst mining, the operations do concurrent rehabilitation.

 

(b)	(i) Land Mining: An existing financial guarantee (Guarantee number: G0657/523079/GLO) sits with First Rand Bank. The guarantee amount has increased during the financial year 2017/18 from R1 935 524.00 to R2 704 759.00

2. (a) The Department is committed to improving the disbursement of bursary funds to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in 2018. TVET colleges have three academic cycles per academic year. NSFAS plans to disburse all funds to TVET colleges by 30 November 2018. It should be noted that the amount reflected under commitment is an indicative amount not to be exceeded. Some of the commitments will not be fully claimed as payments by NSFAS depends on actual students qualifying and being admitted to colleges. After all the claims have been finalised, the remainder of the amount will then be utilized for the colleges who had more than expected NSFAS qualifying students. The indicative allocation and any remaining funds will be rolled over to the new allocation for the next financial year.

(b) The core challenge experienced by the TVET college sector, which leads to the low disbursement of funds, is that very few students are committed to signing the Schedule of Particulars (SoPs). The Department has agreed that NSFAS should consider an alternative option where registration data is used, signed off by the Accounting Officer (College Principal), to substitute the SoP requirement. This will lead to improved disbursement of funds to several institutions. NSFAS has over the last few weeks deployed officials to TVET colleges to expedite the disbursement process and as such, payments have been made weekly to institutions to ensure that they receive funds owed to them. Colleges have been trying to manage the funding of poor students in the interim through their own reserves or seeking advances on their subsidies from the Department. In some cases students had to find funding for themselves which is an untenable situation.
