Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
What are the details including the ranks of service providers and/or contractors from which (a) his department and (b) the entities reporting to him procured services in the past five years; (2) what (a) service was provided by each service provider and/or contractor and (b) amount was each service provider and/or contractor paid; (3) (a) how many of these service providers are black-owned entities, (b) what contract was each of the black-owned service providers awarded and (c) how much was each black-owned service provider paid?
Reply:
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DoJ&CD) has provided a high-level response to the questions above. A list of all major contracts awarded to BEE level 1 to 3 is included for sake of interest. Due to the volume of procurement, a full list of procurement during this period is not provided.
The DoJ&CD utilised the following method and rationale in arriving at the statistical conclusions populated below:
(i) the data is based on contracts above R500k concluded with service providers using a SCM process; and
(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.

Reply:
1. The law enforcement agencies in particular the Hawks are investigating the so called Gupta leaked emails, this has been widely reported, Minister will not be commenting on any matter arising or related to the alleged Gupta leaked emails in order not to interfere with the due processes of the law.

Mokause, Ms MO to ask the Minister of Human Settlements

Reply:
(1) (a) & (b) Yes
The Honourable Member did not specify the period for which the information is required.
(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. It specifically states the following:
“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)”

Alberts, Mr ADW to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
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.

Alberts, Mr ADW to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
(a) On what date will his department begin with the judicial inquiry into the death of a certain person (name and details furnished), (b) what are the names of the (i) presiding officer and (ii) other members of the specified inquiry, (c) what are the intended time lines for the completion of the inquiry and (d) what steps will his department take following the completion of the inquiry?
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.

Reply:
(1)(a)(b)(i)(ii)(aa)(bb) The South African Police Service (SAPS), does not erect or repair security border fences or static observation posts. This is the responsibility of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).
2. Border crossing observation posts are monitored and manned by members of the SANDF.

Ryder, Mr D to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
(1)What is the current status of the construction of the Rietspruit Outfall Sewer Pipeline in Midvaal and Emfuleni which is currently threatening the construction of houses in Savanna City; (2) has a contractor been appointed; if not, (a) why not and (b) by what date will a contractor be appointed; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) what is the planned completion date of the project?
Reply:
(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 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.

Due to the number of employees that travelled abroad, during the lengthy period of time, for which information is requested, (4 225 foreign air tickets) and taking into account the various transactions and the documents which are to be analysed, it will be extremely time consuming and will place an unreasonable burden on the resources of the SAPS to obtain the information in these categories, as requested. The information requested is not readily available in the financial accounting structure (Standard Chart of Accounts) of the SAPS and can therefore, not be extracted electronically.

- 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.

America, Mr D to ask the Minister of Labour
Whether, with reference to the Minister of Mineral Resources’ reply to question 3396 on 14 November 2017, her department is aware of any salary scales used by the mining sector when it classifies paygrades; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details of the (a) salary band for each category and (b) number of persons employed as (i) permanent employees and (ii) outsourced contractors in the (aa) platinum group metals and (bb) gold sectors in each of the specified salary scales for each financial year since 1 April 2006?

Ndlozi, Dr MQ to ask the Minister of State Security
1. What are the details including the ranks of service providers and/or contractors from which (a) his department and (b) the entities reporting to him procured services in the past five years; 2. What (a) service was provided by each service provider and/or contractor and (b) amount was each service provider and/or contractor paid; 3.(a) how many of these service providers are black-owned entities, (b) what contract was each of the black-owned service providers awarded and (c) how much was each black-owned service provider paid?
Reply:
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).
14 December 2017 - NW3626
Mashabela, Ms N to ask the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform
Whether (a) his department and/or (b) any entity reporting to him own land; if so, in each case, (i) where is each plot of land located, (ii) what is the size of each specified plot and (iii) what is each plot currently being used for?
Reply:
(a) (b) Yes
(a) (i),(ii),(iii) Refer to Annexure A.
(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.

(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.

Vos, Mr J to ask the Minister of Tourism
Whether, in line with the National Tourism Sector Strategy which makes provision for partnerships with municipalities to convert underutilised resorts into budget resorts, any such programs have been implemented; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
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.
