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.

LEVEL OF BEE COMPLIANT	VALUE OF CONTRACT	ALLOCATION
Level 1	R1 575 408 516	25%
Level 2	R2 871 302 186	46%
Level 3	R348 324 932	6%
Level 5 and higher	R311 392 620	4%
Inter State (SITA and SAQA)	R1 191 321 106	19%
Grand Total	R6 297 749 360

1. Approximately 77% of contracts measured by the value of initiatives/projects were awarded to the most BBBEE compliant service providers i.e. (Level 1 to 3).
2. Approximately 19% of work was given to SITA and SAQA as part of the promotion of inter-governmental collaboration.
3. Approximately 4% of initiatives/projects were awarded to less compliant service providers i.e. (Level 5 and higher).

1. This part 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.

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.

2. The Minister is required by law to respect due process of the law which inter alia include investigations by law enforcement agencies and therefore I will not interfere with such investigation by making comments.

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)”

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.

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.

(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.

(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. This question will need to be referred to the Project Owning Entity.

1. Joubert and May Attorneys, from Tzaneen, obtained a warrant of execution for an outstanding taxed legal cost, in a civil matter that was supposed to be paid by the State Attorney, in Pretoria. The company’s consultant attorney was not registered on the State Attorney’s database for payments, causing a delay in payment. The warrant of execution was served to the Station Commander, in Tzaneen, on 7 September 2017. 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.

(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.

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.

1. The Department is not in possession of the report referred to.

(a),(b),(c) Falls away.

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.

3. Yes.

(a) The AGM to appoint new trustees was held on 25 November 2017. The following members were appointed:

1. John Busakwe as Chairperson

2. Hamilton Vuso as Vice Chairperson

3. Hester Pullen as Secretary

4. Elthia Kievits as Assistant Secretary

5. Mary Ngene as Treasurer

(b) Membership verification has been done and the verification report was discussed at the meeting of 25 November 2017.

(1)(a) Yes, the South African Police Service (SAPS), procured services from Travel With Flair, since 2001.

(1)(b) For the entities, reporting to the Minister of Police, to respond.

• Air charter service: R8 211 370,31.
• Leases: motor vehicles: R1 476 536,81.

• Venues and facilities: R253 605,12.

(2)(a) Yes, international travel expenditures were also procured from the company.

(2)(i)(ii) and (iii)

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.

This question requires consultation with various role players, including all station commanders. It is, therefore, requested that extension is granted to reply to this question. An extension period of five working days is requested, to gather and consolidate the correct information.

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.

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.

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).

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)(i)(aa) to (cc) The total number of firearms, which were circulated as found, without serial numbers and duplicated serial numbers, are as follows:

Province	2014/ 2015	2015/ 2016	2016/ 2017
Eastern Cape	540	1 089	1 741

TOTAL	5 337	5 203	13 394

(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.

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.
