Carter, Ms D to ask the Minister of Transport
In view of the proposed 71,43% increase of the vehicle licensing transaction fee determined in terms of the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act, Act 20 of 1999, read with its Regulations, (a) what has he found to be the rationale for the unacceptable increase and (b) is he prepared to review this determination in light of the public outcry and representations that have been directed to him?
Reply:
a) The transaction fees were introduced in 2007 by the Minister of Finance concurring with a proposal by the Minister of Transport. The Minister of Finance approved and or indicated a fee structure that provided for a 5-year period ending March 2012 which was to be implemented as follows:
- for the years 2007/08 the transaction fee would have been R30.00,
- for the years 2008/09 -2009/10 R36.00; and
- for the financial years 2010/11 – 2011/12 R42.00.
In 2009, the fee amount, as per the provisions of Section 48 of the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act, 1999 (Act No: 20 of 1999) (the “Act”) read with the Regulations was increased to a fee of R36.00 and brought into effect by publication by the First Amendment of the Regulations in the Government Gazette No. R. 930 on 23 September 2009. The significance of the regulation amendment, was that the Regulations was amended to provide that the Minister of Transport, may henceforth, increase the Transaction Fee amount annually by Notice in the Government Gazette.
Due to various operational and administrative reasons, the transaction fees were not increased in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. In February 2016 the fee amount was increased by R6 to R42, the same amount it should have been in 2010.
Therefore, over a period the Transactions Fees have not been optimally increased to keep abreast with the ever-rising costs associated with operations and personnel. The R30 increase in 2018, which brings the fees R72, is thus mainly informed by the already approved R6 per annum increase and in fact is less than what it would have been if the increase of R6 per annum was diligently implemented. If the increases had been diligently implemented annually, the fees would have been R96 in 2018
(b) There were no public representation received.

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether the SA National Roads Agency has enough funds to finance the N2 Wild Coast toll road; if not, why has the work began; if so, (a) what is the total amount of funds that is available and (b) what are the relevant details of the sources of the specified funding?
Reply:
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.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services
What (a) are the actions, inactions and conduct of the SA Social Security Agency (SASSA) that formed the basis of the request by the Chief Executive Officer of the SA Post Office for the intervention of the Director-General (DG) of the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) into the process for the implementation of the payments of grants and (b) action has been taken to encourage SASSA’s cooperation?
Reply:
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.

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).

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.

Esau, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
With reference to the businesses owned by 132 military veterans that registered with her department in the 2016-17 financial year, what is the (a) military formation that each military veteran who owns these businesses is part of, (b) nature of each such business and (c) the location of each business, including the (i) town and (ii) province?
Reply:
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.

Groenewald, Mr HB to ask the Minister of Police
(a) What are the names of the stations that have been excluded from the proposed Firearm Amnesty, (b) in which provinces are the specified stations and (c) why were the stations excluded?
Reply:
(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.

Cassim, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Police
(1)What (a) qualifications does a police station commander of the SA Police Service need to be in possession of and (b) mandatory on-the-job training is offered to station commanders; (2) what number of new station commanders (a) were appointed in each province in each of the past three financial years, (b) failed to successfully complete any on-the-job training course provided to assist them in their duties, (c) were allowed to repeat the relevant training and (d) were dismissed from their position for failure to successfully complete the training?
Reply:
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. In respect of the Senior Management Service, the requirements are, inter alia; a NQF 6 qualification (Degree/Diploma) with at least three years experience 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.
2a) The number of new Station Commanders appointed in each province for the past three financial years are as follows:
2014/2015 Financial Year

2c) No remedial training was presented for the six learners that were declared not yet competent, due to the fact that the learning programme was placed under review. The new Station Commissioners Learning Programme will be rolled out within the next six months and personnel who attended the former Station Management Learning Programme and were declared not yet competent will be called up, as a matter of priority to attend the new programme.
2d) The new Station Commanders were not dismissed from his or her position for failing to complete the Station Management Learning Programme.

Cassim, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Police
What is the total cost related to the relocation of (a) staff members and (b)(i) samples and (ii) equipment from the Forensic Science Laboratory in Amanzimtoti to laboratories in other provinces due to flood damage?
Reply:
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.

Kalyan, Ms SV to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
(a) Which of the 52 countries of the Commonwealth require South Africans to apply for a visa on entry, (b) what are the reasons of a lack of visa reciprocity, if any and (c) what actions are being taken to address this?
Reply:
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.
02 January 2018 - NW3795
Figlan, Mr AM to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
What specifically was irregular about the expenditure of R146 million on her department’s security contract?
Reply:
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.

What (a) are the details of the obligations of Alexkor Pooling and Sharing Joint Venture towards rehabilitation in the Richtersveld region in the Northern Cape, (b) amount has Alexkor Pooling and Sharing Joint Venture set aside for the rehabilitation of the mining area and (c) rehabilitation has Alexkor Pooling and Sharing Joint Venture completed to date including (i) maps with markings and (ii) costs of the rehabilitation done in each case?
Reply:
(a) |
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.

Steenkamp, Ms J to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
With reference to the four work streams of Operation Phakisa: Waste Economy, how will her department package (a) waste and (b) e-waste differently from the way it is currently packaged?
Reply:
(a) One of the work streams within Operation Phakisa was the Hazardous Waste. One initiative from this work stream related to ash waste. The officials have developed draft regulations for the exclusion of waste or portions of waste from the definition of waste. These proposed regulations will provide for the beneficiation of certain waste streams whilst not having to adhere to the relevant waste legislation (licence requirements). This is after a rigorous process has been followed to obtain the exclusion which includes various risk assessments and waste classification. The waste streams initially include boiler ash, metalurgical slag, biomass and gypsum. These regulations will be published for public comments in due course.
The following twenty (20) initiatives developed within the 4 work streams, aim to maximise diversion of waste from landfill sites and also increase South Africa’s competitiveness in the chemicals industry and create a positive enabling business environment for Small Medium Micro Enterprises to foster inclusive growth. These include amongst others:
Industrial work stream
Initiative 1 - Increase ash uptake for alternate building materials
Initiative 2 - Accelerate innovation and commercialize existing Research & Development (R&D)
Initiative 2a - Use ash as soil ameliorant; and
Initiative 2b - Use ash to treat acid mine drainage and backfill mines.
Initiative 3 - Export ash and ash products.
Initiative 4 - Zero sewage sludge to landfill.
Initiative 4a - Anaerobic Digester Biogas to Energy; and
Initiative 4b - Fluidised Bed Reactor Thermal Treatment.
Initiative 5 - Towards zero meat production waste to landfill by 2023.
Municipal Solid Waste work stream
Initiative 6 - Introduction of an e-waste levy to increase collection rate
Initiative 7 - Unlocking government Information Communication Technology legacy volumes
Initiative 8 - Achieving a minimum of 50% of households separating at source by 2023
Initiative 9 - Introduction of materials recovery facilities and pelletisation plants to increase plastic recycling rates
Initiative 10 - Produce building aggregates and construction inputs from rubble and glass.
Waste Minimisation and Product Design
Initiative 11 - Developing capacity through a specialised programme which upskills agri-stakeholders to minimize food loss
Initiative 12 - Consumer awareness campaign to use and consume ugly food
Initiative 13 - Compilation/update of packaging design guidelines
Initiative 14 - Formalising the packaging industry producer responsibility plans
Initiative 15 - Establish refuse-derived fuel plants across South Africa.
Chemicals work stream
Initiative 16 - Establish a refrigerant reclamation and reusable cylinder industry;
Initiative 17 - Ban import of harmful chemicals (e.g. leaded paint/paint pigments);
Initiative 18 - Collect and dispose of stockpiles of harmful substances
Initiative 18a Mercury; and
Initiative 18b Asbestos
Cross-cutting initiatives
Initiative 19 - Coordinate SMME development opportunities across initiatives
Initiative 20 - Roll out national awareness campaigns
Technical support, in the form of technical skills development, is integrated into initiatives’ 3 feet plans as relevant.
(b) Post Operation Phakisa Chemicals and Waste Economy, on 6 December 2017 I have published a final section 28 Notice calling on the Electrical and Electronic industry to develop an Industry Waste Management Plan and submit to me for approval. It is anticipated that this Notice will increase the collection and recycling rates of ewaste and result in the diversion of waste away from landfilling to reuse, recycling and recovery, e-waste is part of initiatives 6 and 7.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
(a) What were the circumstances that resulted in the Gupta-owned company allegedly paying for the accommodation of a certain person, (b) what were the reasons surrounding the specified person’s one-day visit to Dubai and (c) what actions does (i) she and (ii) the Board of Eskom intend to take in this matter?
Reply:
(a)
Eskom is not aware of any travels undertaken by Mr Koko at the time of this enquiry as he was on leave at the time. Further, Eskom’s courtesy register does not reflect any courtesies by Mr Koko following his return in the office from leave. We attach Mr Koko’s leave and delegation of authority for this period.
The disciplinary hearing against Mr Koko will be completed in due course and Eskom will be better positioned to provide a response to the question in Jan 2018.
(b)
See (a) above.
(c)(i)
As the Minister, I do not have oversight of the Executive Managers of the State Owned Companies (SOCs). The Board and Chief Executive are entrusted, through the SOC Delegation of Authority (DOA) Framework, to exercise oversight and supervision of the Executive Managers. I await the feedback into the investigation mentioned to the response in part (a) of this question.

Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Public Works
(1) Does his department have a bank overdraft; if so, what is the (a) reason for the overdraft and (b) amount of the overdraft; (2) has the overdraft increased in the 2016-17 financial year; if so, what are the reasons for the increase?
Reply:
1. The Property Management Trading Entity (PMTE) had a bank overdraft, whereas the Main Account had a favourable bank balance at end of October 2017.
(1)(a) The reason for the PMTE overdraft is mainly due to its operating model. The entity spends on leasehold, construction projects and municipal services and subsequently recovers amounts from client departments. On average, the entity spends R800 million per month which is then recovered over 90 days. This time lag in recovering the amounts due has an impact of approximately R2.4 billion which is slightly off-set by the augmentation received; that is received quarterly in advance.
Outstanding debtors’ balances at the end of October amounted to R4.4 billion of which R1.4 billion relates to the previous financial year which is 99% of the bank overdraft.
(1)(b) The amount of the PMTE overdraft was R1.4 billion, whereas, the Main Account had a favorable balance of R 105 million at the end of October 2017;
2. The PMTE’s overdraft increased in the 2016/17 financial year to R1.9 billion from the previous year (R1.4 billion - 31 March 2016), as well as the Main Account which increased to R753 million from the previous year (R649 million - 31 March 2016). However, as at 31 October 2017, the PMTE’s overdraft has decreased to R1.4 billion and the main account had a favourable bank balance of R105 million.
The main reason for the increase in the bank overdraft of the PMTE for the 2016/17 financial year was payment of backlog rates to municipalities that had not been recovered from client departments. The reason for the decrease as at 31 October 2017 was as a result of the transfer of funds (augmentation) received for the third quarter.
The main reason for the increase in the bank overdraft for the main account was due to an outstanding payment from the PMTE to the DPW which was not cleared at 31 March 2017. The reason for the favourable balance as at 31 October 2017 was due to the voted funds received for the third quarter.
