Reply:

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

a) The statements, documents and information have been submitted to the inquest Magistrate by the Prosecutor in terms of Section 5(1) of the Inquests Act.

Therefore, no date is yet available for the inquest to be held as the inquest Magistrate is still perusing the documents.

b) The matter has not been allocated to a specific presiding officer, and any assessors that might be necessary have not yet been appointed.

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.

d) Once any further investigation that may be necessary has been completed, the presiding officer will determine whether a formal inquest must be held (i.e. one at which viva voce evidence will be heard in court) and whether assessors should be appointed.

Whether the decision of the Chief Justice that in future English will be the official language of record in terms of section 8(5)(b) of the Superior Courts Act, Act 10 of 2013, was published in the Government Gazette; if not, why it was not considered necessary to do so; if so, in which Government Gazette; (2) whether he is aware of the decision of the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) published in Government Gazette No. 24121 of 29 November 2002 in respect of board decision 99 of 2002; if so, what steps his department has taken concerning the specified PanSALB decision; if not, (3) whether he will familiarise himself with the PanSALB decision and will take the necessary steps in this regard; (4) whether he will consider establishing legal certainty and affirming the separation of powers by making an amendment to subsection 8(3)(b) of the Superior Courts Act, Act 10 of 2013, which places a clear limitation on the competencies of the Chief Justice to take decisions regarding the language of record in courts?

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)Whether, with reference to her reply to question 2511 on 5 October 2017, a report has been received from the investigator regarding the Krugersdorp High School; if not, by what date is it expected; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether the educator from the Prince Tokoto High School has been discharged from hospital; if not, what is the prognosis; if so, have the investigations commenced; (3) what charges have been preferred against the principal of the Mphaphuli High School; (4) what was the outcome of the hearings which were held on 21 and 22 September relating to the Manyano Primary School; (5) what is the nature of the developments in the criminal case against the alleged educator of the Parktown Boys High School?

Reply:

(1) The complaint was investigated by the South African Council of Educators (SACE) on 7 September 2017. The investigator, after conclusion of the case, recommended that no charges be levelled against the accused educator and furnished his reasons for the findings (Case 135/2017-GP).

(2) The educator in question was charged by SACE with 53 counts of applying corporal punishment on the learner. She has been placed on medication by her doctor, Dr Lugongolo for 6 months with effect from 08 August. This means that she may be fit for work in February 2018 and all that is known is that she has a mental condition. We tried contacting the school to ascertain her status, but the only number available keeps ringing unanswered and the landline number is no longer in service according to Telkom. The school is Prince Dokodoko High School (Case 119/2016-KZN).

(3) Without having to repeat the full reading of the charges, the Principal of Mphaphuli Secondary School was charged with three (3) charges:

  • The first one was for refusing to cooperate with a SACE investigator;
  • The second one was for refusing to grant the investigator access to the educators in the school; and
  • The third one was for refusing to grant the investigator access to the learners or complainants in the school.

The hearing was scheduled to take place on 10 November 2017, but was postponed as his representative was engaged in arbitration on the day in question. The hearing will proceed in February 2018 (Case 133/2017-LP).

(4) The disciplinary hearing was finalised on 20 November 2017 and the presiding officer promised to furnish his report by 09 December 2017 (Case number 476/2016-MP).

(5) We have been informed by the school that the matter was postponed in court until January 2018. The accused will appear again in 2018.

(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.

The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) is an agency of the Department of Human Settlements which is responsible for the protection of housing consumers and to regulate the home building industry. Registration with the NHBRC is mainly intended for residential buildings as areas designated as business, industrial or otherwise are excluded from the NHBRC. The Khalanga Project was therefore not registered with the NHRBC as the buildings did not fall within the requirements for registration.

The contract was for the supply of sport equipment and attire that was valid for a period of as part of 3 years ended 31 July 2017.

(b) No, the South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) does not have a contract with Sedgars Sport, however they are a registered supplier in the SASCOC supplier database.

I. In 2015 SASCOC placed a newspaper advert calling for potential suppliers to register on the SASCOC database of suppliers and Sedgars was one of the companies that registered on the database.

II. R 15 237 318.90

III. Like any supplier in the SASCOC database, when a service is required, a quote is requested from a number of suppliers on the database, and depending on the quotation received a suitable supplier will be approved. Due process thereafter is followed where a requisition is generated from the system and approved according to the specified process. A purchase order is generated, signed and payment is only made after the service has been rendered.

Mackenzie, Mr C to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services

With reference to his reply to question 3371 on 13 November 2017, (a) what are the relevant details of the building that the SA Post Office is leasing in Bloemfontein in terms of (a) where exactly are the premises located, (b) what are the terms of the lease, including the (i) period of the lease, (ii) name of the landlord and (iii) rental amount for each month and (c) what processes were followed by the SA Post Office before contracting the lease?

Reply:

I have been informed by SAPO as follows:

(a) The premises is located at the Mr Price Building, a sub-division of Plot 6, Vredenhof Smallholdings, No 2708, Langenhovenpark, Nelson Mandela Drive, Langenhovenpark, Bloemfontein.

(b)(i) Period of lease was 3 years

(ii) The Michael Family Trust

(iii) Rental amount per month as follows:

  • Outlet size: 3,956m²
  • Lease costs per m2 (3-year lease) : R62 m²
  • Basic monthly rental (excl VAT) for duration of lease agreement:

 Year 1: Rental R 245 272.00, plus R2,250.00 for 15 basement parking bays

 Year 2: Rental R 264,893.76, plus R2,250.00 for 15 basement parking bays

 Year 3: Rental R 286,085.26, plus R2,250.00 for 15 basement parking bays

(c) No proposal or request for tender was issued because the feasibility analysis to determine the availability of suitable buildings to house the Postbank Operations Centre in the Bloemfontein area, was conducted internally.

Following further discussions between SAPO Properties Division and the Managing Director (MD) of the Michael Family Trust, Postbank recommended that a lease agreement for the Langenhovenpark premises be entered into as a temporary site, while a new long term accommodation is explored. Approval was therefore, granted by the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), for a lease agreement of three years with the Michael Family Trust as a single source procurement, which was within the Procurement Framework and Delegation of Authority.

Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education

With reference to her reply to question 2503 on 19 September 2017, what are the details of cases in which the physical abuse of learners is not considered a criminal offence?

Reply:

It is acknowledged that under common law physical abuse is classified as a criminal offence. This means that the listing of an educator’s name on the Register depends on the gravity of the sanction imposed against the educator for an offence he/she committed against a child. If an educator has physically abused a child, which abuse resulted in the child receiving medical attention/treatment, such an educator will be charged with a criminal offence by the South African Police and if found guilty by the court of law and convicted, then that person’s name will automatically be listed in the Register. In that case, the employer cannot overrule the decision of the court of law and therefore will also find the educator guilty of the alleged offence and dismissal is the only sanction for such an offence. In that case where an educator was found guilty of physical abuse against a child and dismissed, such educator’s name submitted by the employer to the Department of Social Development for listing on the National Child Protection Register.

However, in a case where an educator was found guilty of physical abuse by the employer or SACE during the disciplinary hearing, and the sanction imposed was not dismissal, (depending on the severity of the abuse) that person’s name is not listed in the Register. E.g. in a case where an educator used an open hand on the child’s back leaving the child with no finger marks or any mark related to the abuse, the educator may be given a final written warning as a sanction.

(a) What is delaying the finalisation and release of the report into the sale of 10.3 million barrels of the country’s strategic oil reserves by the Central Energy Fund and (b) when is it anticipated that the report will be published?

Reply:

a) A legal firm had been appointed to conduct investigations. The investigations took longer than expected. The report presented had gaps due to the method used by the investigators. The Minister directed that the report must be able to meet the principles of natural justice i.e. Ald. at partem. The financial aspect conducted by KPMG had to be subjected to a reliance audit and this further caused more delays.

b) When the Minister was supposed to receive final report the service provider on the legal part declared a conflict of interest. The Minister has instructed CEF and SFF to expedite the investigations without further delays.

(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.

(2) Furthermore, in accordance with the established practise applicable to parliamentary questions contained in the document titled, “Guide to Parliamentary Questions in the National Assembly”, I will not be able to provide names of persons as requested in the question. The document referred to prohibits Members of Parliament, including the Executive, from divulging names of persons, bodies when asking or responding to parliamentary questions.

Questions are to be framed as concisely as possible. All unnecessary adjectives, references and quotations are omitted. Names of persons, bodies and, for example, newspapers are only used in questions if the facts surrounding the case have been proven. As the mere mention of such names could be construed as publicity for or against them, it should be clear that this practice is highly undesirable. If a question will be unintelligible without mentioning such names, the Departments concerned are notified of the name (-s) and this phrase is used: ".......a certain person (name furnished)”

(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.

What (a) number of extra staff are being (i) trained and (ii) deployed to testing laboratories to conduct the Integrated Ballistics Identification System testing on the firearms which may be handed in during the proposed Firearm Amnesty next year in each province and (b) is the (i) name and (ii) location of each specified testing laboratory to which such staff is deployed?

Reply:

(a)(i)(ii)(b)(i)(ii) The current capacity of human resources, available at the Ballistic Section, IBIS Subsection, is sufficient to cope with the anticipated work, which is resulting from a possible Firearm Amnesty. Therefore, no extra staff will need to be trained and deployed to process the firearms, which may be handed in during the proposed Firearm Amnesty, next year. The existing four Forensic Science Laboratories, will be able to process the additional work load.

The Sheriff at Tzaneen, on instruction of the attorney, removed seven computers from the Tzaneen Police Station, on 9 October 2017. After liaison with the instructing attorney and the State Attorney, it was agreed that the outstanding legal cost will be paid directly to his account, by the SAPS. On 10 October 2017, the instructing attorney addressed a letter to the Sheriff, indicating that the computers can be returned to the Tzaneen Police Station. The seven computers were returned on 11 October 2017. The payment of R33 956,72, was made on 12 October 2017 and was deposited, on 18 October 2017.
