Bucwa, Ms H to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)With reference to her reply to question 3221 on 30 November 2017, on what basis was her department’s tender for the organising of events on 20 May 2016 deemed urgent, when it was indicated in the specified reply that the need for the service was identified some six months earlier; (2) what (a) are the details of the bidders that responded to the specified tender, (b) amount did each bidder tender for, (c) criteria were used to award the tender and (d) weighting was applied to each of the criterion for each bidder; (3) (a) what are the details of Batsumi Travel (Pty) Ltd’s experience in organising and managing events and (b) on what basis was the specified tender awarded to the specified company; (4) what are the full details in terms of dates, venues, purposes, sizes and final costs of each event organised by the company for her department to date
Reply:
1. The tender for organising of events was deemed urgent based on the following:
- The Department of Higher Education and Training at the time had cancelled a bid to make provision in the revised terms of reference for emerging business to contend.
- In the interim, the Department participated in a contract for events management services of the Department of Basic Education that was nearing its expiry date at the end of December 2015.
- Thereto, numerous request for events and related services were received and due to the monetary threshold, deviation approval of either the accounting officer or National Treasury was necessary. This was undesirable as it would lead to an increase in administrative duties and delays in the procuring of services. The hosting of the then Mandela Day Career Festival was one such event, which required specialised labour and skills not available within the Department.

- The Department paid for travel costs for nine (9) officials.

South African Pavilion Stand Design, Construction and Branding |

2. Quantifiable Benefits from attending CISMEF
Some of the most remarkable benefits derived from CISMEF are not necessarily quantifiable. The level of exposure these SMME’s received as well as the skills they gained from being part of CISMEF could never be measured but they are none the less just as important as the Business to Business deals that were made.
The co-hosting of the 14th CISMEF has provided the Department an opportunity to show-case the capabilities of SME’s in our country on a global scale. This was the first international pavilion the DSBD has participated in, since proclamation. The opportunity afforded our SME’s with a platform to not only to access global markets for their products but also to gain linkages to their Chinese counterparts.
The upshot of CISMEF was the conducting of Business to Business (B2B) match making activities principally with clients from the Bank of China and other business associations. South African exhibitors have reported successful market linkages with Chinese counterparts. The process of engagement between South African and Chinese companies is ongoing but thus far identified B2B linkages that may translate into trade opportunities for participating enterprises are as follows:

The leakage was brought to the attention of the Department shortly after the paper had been written and not before as alleged. The standard operating procedure in these instances is to withdraw and replace the paper where possible. |
|||||||||||||||

Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)(a) By what date will the National Senior Certificate for Adults be rolled out and (b) what (i) amount of funding has her department requested from the National Treasury for the rollout and (ii) is the detailed breakdown of the costs that will be covered by the funding; (2) Whether she has found that the entities involved in the quality assurance of the final assessments and issuing of the certificates for the specified qualification are ready for action once the qualification is rolled out; if not, what is the position in this regard; (3) Whether any steps have been taken to ensure that the specified qualification will be recognised for suitable employment and/or admission to further higher education and training institutions?
Reply:
1. (a) The date of the rollout of the National Senior Certificate for Adults (NASCA) has not been determined without a committed budget allocation for the rollout.
(b) (i) The Department has requested R3.48 billion for the rollout of the NASCA in 2018/19, R3.68 billion in 2019/20 and R3.87 billion in 2020/21 financial years; and
(ii) The approach adopted for budget estimates was based on programme funding targeting 100 000 students. Elements within the programme funding include personnel, goods and services, and capital expenditure.
2. The development of the NASCA has been done in collaboration with Umalusi as the Quality Council for general and further education and training. Umalusi has indicated that capacity to quality assure and issue certificates will be available once the rollout of the NASCA takes place.
3. The Department has developed the draft admission policy for candidates wanting access to Higher Education Institutions. University Registrars, Universities South Africa (USAf) and the Council on Higher Education (CHE) were consulted with regards to admission into university.
Consultation has also taken place with private providers and employer structures on the design of the qualification, curriculum development process and related regulations and policies. Further continuing work will need to be done with public and private employers regarding the recognition of the NASCA for employment purposes.

Ahead of the 2019 national and provincial elections, the intention of the Electoral Commission is to amend section 11(1) of the Election Regulations, 2004, such that South African citizens who intend to apply to vote abroad will not be required to produce a passport, but will be required to produce an identity document or smart identity card indicating citizenship of the Republic of South Africa. The proposal to amend electoral legislation falls within the statutory jurisdiction of the Electoral Commission.

Macpherson, Mr DW to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
What (a) number of laboratories does the SA Bureau of Standards have, (b) number of the specified laboratories are conducting full testing of products, (c) are the names of the laboratories that are conducting partial testing of products, (d) would it cost to bring each partial testing laboratory up to standard so that full testing can be conducted at every laboratory and (e) equipment is needed at each laboratory?
Reply:
According to information provided by the management of the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS):
a) The SABS has 30 business units undertaking testing.
b) The SABS conducts testing as part of conformity assessment in line with the prescripts of ISO 17 000. Testing falls into 3 categories as follows; Third Party Testing where a product complies fully with a standard and the testing activities were conducted by an independent third party (SABS); Second Part Testing where the SABS tests products on behalf of another institution which defines the required specification and First Party Testing where the SABS provides product development support to manufacturing companies.
c) The management of the SABS has not provided a satisfactory response containing the requisite information. I have written to the SABS management demanding that they do in fact provide an urgent response to the Department of Trade and Industry.
d) As above.
e) As above.
The Department of Trade and Industry is the only shareholder of the SABS. In my capacity as the Minister of Trade and Industry, in the light of the above and with respect to ongoing concerns relating to the SABS testing function, I recently gave instructions to the SABS Board to urgently oversee a detailed process to develop a turnaround strategy for SABS. This will, inter alia, fully scope all the existing SABS testing facilities and their respective capabilities, those which are no longer functional or have been degraded; the cost of maintaining and/or upgrading and reopening those facilities which are critical to SA’s industrialisation effort; resolve any legal issues which may stand in the way of undertaking partial testing and conduct a review of the three technical infrastructure Acts. I shall provide a full report to Parliament in this regard in due course.

Reply:
GSSSD RESPONSE:
(1) Yes, the Department has a Sexual Harassment Policy in place.
(i) According to the dti Sexual Harassment Policy’s reporting procedure, employees who are of the view that they may have fallen victim of sexual harassment are strongly encouraged to report the case directly to the Manager: Employment Relations or the Manager: Quality of Worklife. All such reports are treated in the strictest confidence and are dealt with in a sensitive and supportive manner. Upon receiving the complaint (due to its employment equity-related nature) the matter is referred to the focal person for Employment Equity and Transformation for thorough investigation. A report with findings and recommendations is compiled and submitted to the Deputy Director-General responsible for employment equity, for implementation.
(ii) Due to the sensitivity and seriousness of sexual harassment, the disciplinary procedure is utilised to address the complaint. In problematic cases of sexual harassment involving sexual assault such as rape, molestation, attempted rape or physical assault, the alleged harasser is suspended with full pay pending the outcome of the disciplinary hearing.
For cases such as attempted rape, molestation, physical assault, rape or persistent harassment, the Chairperson of the disciplinary hearing uses the Disciplinary Code and Procedure to determine the sanction. The victim of sexual assault has the right to open separate criminal and/or civil claims against the alleged harasser and the employer. The legal rights of the complaint are in no way limited by the dti Sexual Harassment Policy.

Macpherson, Mr DW to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
With reference to product licences that fall under the authority of the SA Bureau of Standards, (a) what number of product licences has expired, (b) what steps has his department taken to eradicate the backlog, (c) (i) what is the name of each product that has an expired licence and (ii) on what date did each licence expire and (d) what is the cost to the economy with regard to expired licences?
Reply:
The management of the SABS has provided the Department with the following information.
- The SABS does not issue product licences. Since the promulgation of new legislation, the SABS Act of 2008, the SABS Mark is a voluntary tool for quality assurance in the domestic and global market.
- The SABS Mark continues to be issued. Companies that hold an expired SABS Mark can continue to use it even if it has expired. A SABS Division was created in 2017 to deal with the backlog and provides access to laboratories all over the country to test products as well as provide the necessary governance and assurance oversight of these SABS conformity assessment services.
- The management of the SABS has not provided a satisfactory response containing the requisite information. I have written to the SABS management demanding that they do in fact provide an urgent response to the Department of Trade and Industry.
- No calculation of this cost has been undertaken.
The Department of Trade and Industry is the only shareholder of the SABS. In my capacity as the Minister of Trade and Industry, in the light of the above and with respect to ongoing concerns relating to the SABS Mark function, I recently gave instructions to the SABS Board to urgently oversee a detailed process to develop a turnaround strategy for SABS. This will, inter alia, include a full scope of all the existing SABS Mark functions and processes involved in developing the Mark; operational challenges and stakeholder engagements in order to strengthen this critical pillar of SA’s industrialisation effort. I shall provide a full report to Parliament in this regard in due course.

Reply:
a) Signalling system:
i & ii) On a monthly basis job cards are issued for maintenance and during the maintenance execution the correspondence tests are conducted. The cycle for both testing and maintenance is 3 monthly and 6 monthly based on the type of sub-system. This is referred to as Planned Maintenance. The region did not capture the information on planned maintenance prior to 2017 calendar year. This has been rectified and maintenance job cards are now captured on the Infrastructure Maintenance system. Breakdowns or unplanned maintenance was captured.
aa)
aaa) 2014-15: The standard report from the Infrastructure Maintenance system is provided in calendar years and only the last three years’ information is active.
bbb) 2015 (January to December 2015)
The region did not capture the information on planned maintenance prior to 2017 calendar year. This has been rectified and maintenance job cards are now captured on the Infrastructure Maintenance system. Breakdowns or unplanned maintenance was captured.
ccc) 2016 (January to December 2016)
The region did not capture the information on planned maintenance prior to 2017 calendar year. This has been rectified and maintenance job cards are now captured on the Infrastructure Maintenance system. Breakdowns or unplanned maintenance was captured.
bb) 2017 (January to December 2017)
b) (i) When correspondence tests are conducted as part of routine maintenance as per above maintenance frequencies and there are defects detected during the tests, those defects are attended to and in cases where they cannot be rectified immediately, the train control office is informed immediately just like it was informed during theft of more than 100 meters of various signalling cables at Geldenhuys during the festive season 2017.
Furthermore the Section between Cleveland and Driehoek has been under construction over the past year. The construction work was aimed at replacement of an obsolete signalling system with the latest technology. The new signalling system at Geldenhuys was fully tested and commissioned on 30 November 2017. Due to recurrence of cable theft during the festive season, the new signalling system was then affected and hence manual train authorization was introduced as part of the contingency plan for train working.
ii) Records of the results of tests and actions are kept at the depot level and are not captured on the system. There are plans to capture this on the Maintenance system going forward.

The advertising is assessed on the basis of its relation to government communication programmes or services.

Whether a certain official (details furnished) was still working at the Media Development and Diversity Agency after 8 September 2017, following a memo that was signed by a certain senior official (name and details furnished); if so, (a) why and (b) what are the further relevant details?
Reply:
(a) Yes, the services of the official were needed in order to ensure smooth continuity in the operations. At the time, the recruitment for the position was not finalised.
(b) Approval was sought and obtained from the Board of Directors to continue engaging the services of the official until 31 October 2017. Reasons for continuing with the services are as follows:
- The contract was supposed to end on 8 September 2017, however the Company Secretary took ill from 6 September 2017 and in her absence, there was no-one available with the required experience of working with the MDDA Board. The services of the official were therefore extended to enable ongoing operational support for the Board.
- Furthermore, the Company Secretary was appointed ACEO from 9 October 2017 and the added responsibilities at ACEO level meant that she would require secretarial assistance, both to support her in her role as ACEO and to take over the operational support of the Board.
- The contract has since been terminated.
