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.

2. There are six trustees whose names appear on the Letter of Authority. One of them, Cornelius Johannes Vlok, has since died. The remaining five are still active. The Trust has not had an Annual General Meeting (AGM) for quite some time, hence the intervention by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform to ensure that the project is resuscitated and necessary processes followed.

(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.

1. (a) (i) The Agri-Park initiative was started in 2015 with the development of a district wide Agri-Parks business plan that was signed off by the District Municipality in 2016.

(ii) The Agri-hub construction will start in the 2018/19 financial year; the fencing project is already approved and is at planning stage. A mechanisation centre is also planned for the 2018/19 financial year. The focus in the district has been on the establishment of the Farmer Production Support Unit (FPSUs) in Beaufort West and in Prince Albert.

• The Beaufort West FPSU is being established on erf 394 in Beaufort West, which has a grazing capacity of 36 Ha/LSU1. It is envisaged that 600 ewes and 20 rams will be housed on this farm.
• The Prince Albert FPSU (Erf 783 in Prince Albert Municipality) will focus on the production of dried fruit and the facility has been fenced by the RID branch.
• Remainder of Portion 4 of Farm No. 137, Wolve Kraal in Prince Albert Registration Division, owned by Prince Albert Local Municipality is earmarked for an apricot plantation to supply the FPSU. An Environmental Impact Assessment of the property is currently underway.
• 33 Narysec Youth are currently at various TVET colleges undergoing mixed farming, animal production, project management, agri-sales and services and marketing learnerships. A further 45 were recruited during 2017 and will be starting their college training in January 2018. These youth will receive accredited training at NQF levels 3 and 4 and after the completion of these learnerships will find themselves placed in the FPSU sites and Agri-hub.

(b) The support to the mayor is provided through the District Joint Operations Centre (DJOC), chaired by the District Municipal Manager. The DJOC meets monthly in the District. Several meetings with the mayor have taken place to apprise him of the progress as well as any issues and challenges that may exist.

2. An Agri-park is a conglomeration of various interventions at the level of an FPSU and the Agri-hub level; the table below shows the work that has commenced in terms of the Agri-Park.

Such information relating to service providers and/or contractors of the State Security Agency (SSA) forms part of the broader operational framework of the SSA and therefore remains classified and privileged. Information about service providers and/or contractors is a matter that falls in the ambit of national security and therefore excluded from public disclosure. It should however be observed that the SSA is held accountable on such matters by the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI).

Pay grades in the mining sector are by and large the function of Collective bargaining processes either at sectoral level or enterprise level. As such the detailed information is in the public domain and these can either be accessed through the trade unions, the mining sector employer bodies and mining enterprises.

(b) (i),(ii),(iii) The Ingonyama Trust Board (ITB) administers land held in trust for the communities/clans listed in the schedule of the Ingonyama Trust Act 1997 as amended. A copy of the schedule of the communities/clans is attached as Annexure B together with the land holding register as Annexure C.

The land in question is communally owned and the sizes vary depending on the use and the time acquired. The Trust land measures approximately three million hectares in extent. Uses include public facilities, grazing land, residential, commercial, mining and both subsistence and commercial agriculture. It should be noted that the bulk of the land still has to be surveyed and formalized. This would require multimillion rand investment. The source of such funding will need to be agreed to with all relevant role players.

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) 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.

The Department is not responsible for the operation of a project post-handover and therefore does not have information related to the business plan, costs, projected income of the resort and role of the Greater Tzaneen Local Municipality and Mopane District Municipality.

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.

1. The Minister has met with the Chief Executive Officer. The outcome of the meeting was that the Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) together with the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) and the Small Enterprise Finance Agency (SEFA) will discuss possible areas of cooperation to include amongst other things, mentorship, sharing of research, the ecosystem analysis, etc. Furthermore, it was also agreed that a workshop/summit to discuss available finance for SMMEs in both public and private sector shall be conducted.

2. Government did an analysis on the focus as well as the terms and conditions of the Fund established through the CEO Initiative. Research on the ecosystem conducted by the Department shows that there is limited funding that is available for enterprises that are at an ideation, proof of concept and early start-up phase, and this is the category that is not going to be supported by the fund set up through the CEO initiative. Therefore, government will proceed with its plans of setting up a fund that will address this particular gap in the market and to ensure that Radical Economic Transformation is realised. National Treasury will be best positioned to respond regarding the exact dates of committing funding to the Enterprise Development Fund that government is working on.
