Reply:

1. In terms of Section 29 of the Marine Living Resources Act, 1998 (Act No 18 of 1998) (“the Act”), the Minister shall establish the Fisheries Transformation Council (“the Council”) by notice in the Gazette.

(a) Appointment of members to the Council is undertaken by the Minister in accordance with the provisions of Section 34(1) of the Act, which states inter alia that “the Council shall consist of at least five members, including a chairperson, appointed by the Minister for the period determined by him or her, but not exceeding three years at a time”.

(b) In terms of Section 34(2) of the Act, the Minister “shall ensure that the Council be broadly representative and multidisciplinary, with members qualified to make a substantial contribution towards the proper functioning of the Council”. Section 34(4) of the Act prohibits the appointment of any person who has a direct interest in any manner whatsoever in commercial fishing or mariculture. In addition, Section 34(5) of the Act provides a list of criteria that would exclude any person from serving on the Council. 

(2)(a) Members of the Council will be nominated by the public or interested parties pursuant to a Notice in the Gazette. Section 34(3) of the Act provides for the nomination of persons who meet the criteria set out in Section 34(4) and Section 34(5) of the Act. The Minister may thereafter appoint such person as may be nominated in terms of the gazetted invitation. The Gazette Notice Number: 41190 dated 20 October 2017 called for nominations and closing date for submission of nominations was 10 November 2017.

(2)(b) Section 30 of the Act stipulates that the main objective of the Council shall be to facilitate the achievement of fair and equitable access to the rights referred to in Section 18 of the Act. The Minister may in terms of Sections 31 of the Act allocate rights to the Council and the Council shall lease rights, according to criteria determined by the Minister, to persons from historically disadvantaged sectors of society and to small and medium size enterprises. In terms of Section 32 of the Act the Council may, subject to restrictions determined by the Minister –

(a) lease commercial fishing rights;

(b) determine the price to be paid by lessees of rights;

(c) determine the conditions applicable to leases granted in terms of this section, which conditions shall govern the circumstances under which the lease may be revoked, cancelled, suspended or altered; and

(d) assist in the development and capacity building of persons from historically disadvantaged sectors of society and small and medium size enterprises.

Furthermore, in terms of Section 33 of the Act, the Minister may issue criteria, guidelines and instructions for the operation of the Council, and determine that the affairs of the Council shall be managed and controlled according to a business plan approved by the Minister.

3. Members of the public, Fishing Associations, Organisations and Industry, Non-Governmental Organisations, Small-scale Fishers, fishing communities, and any other interested or affected persons may nominate any person they feel meets the criteria mentioned above, and who has knowledge and experience of fishing and the fishing industry. It should be noted however, that in terms of Section 34(4) of the Act, no person who has direct interest in any manner whatsoever in commercial fishing or mariculture shall be appointed to the Council to ensure the independence and objectivity of the mandate of the Council, which includes the allocation of leases to undertake fishing. Accordingly, to allow persons who participate in fishing (such as via quotas or processing or marketing of fish) would result in unsustainable conflicts of interest. The appointment of members to the Council will be undertaken in terms of the criteria set out in the Act.

4. Members of the Council will be nominated by members of the public (including fishing communities and industry) and appointment will be made by the Minister in terms of Section. It should be noted that the Minister is not bound by any nomination and that members of the Council are appointed and not elected.

(5) The Council shall exist as a national council as marine living resource management is a national Government competency.

Mazzone, Ms NW to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises

Whether, with reference to her reply to question 1569 on 6 September 2017, Denel Vehicle Systems deviated from any provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999, on any contracts and/or procurements during the period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details of each case?

Reply:

Yes, all procurement for Denel Vehicle Systems during the period 01 April 2015 to 31 March 2016 deviated from the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999.

Denel Vehicle Systems (DVS), formerly Land Systems South Africa (LSSA) procurements were made as per LSSA company policies which did not fully comply and was not required to comply with the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999 (PFMA). When LSSA was acquired by Denel it was acquired as a going concern and procurement contracts were already in place as was required by operations. Many of these contracts were based on formal supplier agreements and as such it could not be converted to comply with PFMA provisions until such time that these contracts were concluded in terms of its execution and processes and systems are in place which we have achieved. On this basis exemption were requested from National Treasury. Concurrent to the above, new procurement policies compliant with PFMA provisions were instituted at DVS.

It should be noted that invoices that are unpaid for longer than 30 days are as a result of queries that need to be resolved by the supplier. In the main, the banking details of affected suppliers are incorrect and thus payments are rejected. Legal Aid SA is still awaiting appropriate responses from the suppliers.

C) SIU:

The SIU did an analysis of all invoices outstanding at the end of 30 September 2017 which was the last reporting date of the entity before the question from the National Assembly.

The table below reflects the ageing of supplier balances at reporting date:

Comments:

The SIU had a total outstanding balance to suppliers of R9,1 million at the end of September 2017 of which 77% was outstanding for 30 days or less. The remaining balance of 23% is mainly due to the following factors:

  1. R700K – Dispute with landlord on water and lights billing without apportionment of costs on tenant shared premises using meter reading as per contractual agreement. All the invoices outstanding for 62 days and more are related to this supplier. Lease rental costs are settled monthly except for the disputed amount. The SIU is in the process of resolving the issue with the landlord.
  2. R900K – One invoice due to a service provider who supplied the SIU with technical equipment that were going through testing. The invoice was settled in October 2017.
  3. The balance is mainly made up of supplier of travel management services where third party invoices / statement were outstanding for payment. The SIU has an arrangement with the supplier that invoices will only be settled when presented with third party invoices, e.g. invoices from car rental companies, and a statement of account.

D. NPA

a) The NPA has paid 99.5% of all creditors within 30 days during the 2016/17 financial year. The remaining 0.5% relates to disputed invoices.

b) As at the end of October 2017, the NPA had 12 invoices amounting to R97 512.38 that were outstanding for a period of more than 30 days. Below are the details of the relevant invoices:

Ndlozi, Dr MQ to ask the Minister of State Security

1. Whether (a) his department and/or (b) entities reporting to him procured services from a certain company (name furnished); if so, (i) what services were procured in each case and (ii) what is the total amount that was paid to the specified company in each case; 2. Whether the specified company provided services related to international travel to (a) his department and/or (b) entities reporting to him; if so, (i) what is the name of each person who travelled, (ii) what was the travel route and (iii) what is the total amount that was paid for each person?

Reply:

It should be noted that the SSA has not engaged the services of the company mentioned. Yet, in applying the principles of the broader SSA strategy not to divulge information relating to operations, it is recommended that the following answer be submitted:

  • Information relating to service providers to the State Security Agency (SSA) forms part of the broader operational strategy of the SSA and therefore remains classified and privileged.
    • Information about service providers and details such as travel information are matters that fall 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).

Mokause, Ms MO to ask the Minister of Human Settlements

(1)How many officials and/or employees in her department were granted permission to have businesses and/or do business dealings in the past three financial years; (2) are any of the officials and/or employees that have permission to have businesses and/or do business dealings doing business with the Government; if so, (a) what was the purpose of each business transaction, (b) when did each business transaction occur and (c) what was the value of each business transaction?

Reply:

(1) Three officials were granted permission to have businesses in the past three financial years.

(2) All three requests for approval were not for business with the state or its organs.

I wish to point out to the Honourable Member that employees are prohibited from doing business with the state or its organs. Incidentally, it was during my tenure as Minister of Public Service and Administration that the Public Administration Management Act of 2013 which introduced the prohibition was drafted, processed through Cabinet and Parliament and was enacted by the President in 2013.

Honourable Member, the prohibition referred to above is currently enforceable through section 13 (c) of the Public Service Regulations. The said section stipulates that an employee shall not conduct business with any organ of state or be a director of a public or private company conducting business with an organ of state, unless such an employee is in an official capacity a director of a company listed in schedule 2 and 3 of the Public Finance Management Act”.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

In terms of the Public Service Regulations 13 (c), “An employee shall not conduct business with any organ of state or be a director of a public or private company conducting business with an organ of state, unless such an employee is in an official capacity a director of a company listed in schedule 2 and 3 of the Public Finance Management Act”;

Further, in terms of the Public Service Regulations 24, “An application by an employee to perform remunerative work outside his or her department shall be in accordance with the process determined by the Minister and in the form issued by the Minister.”

Accordingly, a Directive on Conducting Business with an Organ of State was issued in January 2017 by the Minister for Public Service and Administration.

Filtane, Mr ML to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation

(1) When was she informed of the water crisis at the Butterworth Hospital in the Eastern Cape which resulted in patients being discharged to go home and suffer or probably die; (2) whether she notified the essential services such as the Butterworth Hospital of the water shortage; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether her department has taken any urgent steps to address the water crisis in the specified hospital in order to avoid the loss of lives; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

(1) On 24 January 2017, I was informed of the water crisis pending drought disaster not limited to the Butterworth Hospital but for the entire Butterworth in the Eastern Cape. The Amathole District Municipality (DM) re-declared the drought in January 2017.

(2) Yes, essential services such as the Provincial Department of Health was kept abreast of the unfolding disaster through stakeholder meetings which included the Provincial Drought Technical Task Team, Provincial Sector Departments meetings and Joint Operation Committee meetings held in Butterworth where they were requested to make their own intervention plans as the Amathole DM made it clear that it would not have the capacity to provide the full water demand.

(3) Weekly dam levels have been provided by the Department to the Amathole DM and Provincial Disaster Management Centre. When the situation at Xilinxa Dam supplying Butterworth and surrounding areas became alarming, it was anticipated that it will have serious effect on the hospital and other institutions such as the Walter Sisulu University (WSU) campus. Regular drought water crisis meetings were held with the Amathole DM as the Water Services Authority and other key stakeholders, where they were requested to provide the drought intervention plans.

When the surface water supply to Butterworth (Xilinxa Dam and Gcuwa Dam) ran out completely, the Amathole DM prioritised carting of water to the Hospital. Owing to the logistics and costs of carting water from the nearest alternative source some 30km away, the Amathole DM was unable to meet the full demand at the hospital as well as to provide basic supply to all domestic consumers in Butterworth.

My Department has conducted drought awareness campaigns in Butterworth and has granted permission to the Amathole DM for the re-allocation of the Water Services Infrastructure Grant (WSIG) funding to accommodate emergency water supply in Butterworth through the Butterworth Emergency Water Supply Scheme (pipeline from Tsomo River to Xilinxa Dam), water tankering and groundwater investigations, namely, hydrogeological investigations, drilling, testing and equipping of boreholes at Butterworth, Kotana, Ehlobo, Teko Springs and WSU.

My Department approached the Office of the Premier, Provincial Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) and Provincial Treasury; as a result an amount of R 3 million has been pledged to assist Amathole DM with the drought.

Fortunately the water outage was short lived and the rain which fell from
8 to 9 October 2017 brought relief and the Gcuwa Dam was filled, but the Xilinxa Dam only rose to 7%, which will provide approximately 3 months supply. Butterworth is therefore not out of the crisis yet and needs close monitoring hence my Department has allocated Amathole DM with ten water tankers.

King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Police

What measures has his department put in place to mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks in the country?

Reply:

The Republic of South Africa’s national security, economic prosperity and social wellbeing is critically dependent on Information Communication Technology (ICT) that is safe and secure. Big and small enterprises, governments, as well as private internet users are facing similar threats in cyberspace.

The South African Police Service (SAPS), recognises, as a high priority, the value of being able to detect, prevent, combat and investigate the pervasive cybercrime threat and in particular, cyber-attacks on critical information infrastructure.

The protection of critical infrastructure, such as electricity, transportation and banking against cyber threats is essential to our daily lives and the vulnerability to attack and exploitation of these systems is a real threat.

The SAPS therefore created capacities and capabilities, strengthened by continuous interaction and co-operation with intelligence agencies, International Law Enforcement Agencies and Prosecutorial Authorities, to provide a national, co-ordinated response to the most serious incidents of cybercrime occurrences.

The SAPS has well equipped cyber investigation support centres at national level, capable of providing digital forensic support in cybercrime and cyber-related investigations. These capabilities are also available in some provinces and the current focus is to ensure the roll-out to all provinces.

Furthermore, the SAPS and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), are engaged in a research project, to continuously enhance strategies and training frameworks to effectively detect, combat, prevent and investigate cybercrime.

Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs

(a) How does her department plan to enforce the separate source initiative mentioned in the Operation Phakisa: Chemicals and Waste Economy and (b) what will happen to those who refuse/fail to comply?

Reply:

(a) The Department is putting Norms and Standards for waste separation at source in 2018/19. The administrative and criminal enforcement would be carried out by Environmental Management Inspectors as empowered by the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, Act No 59 of 2008. However, municipalities that have made separation of waste at source mandatory as part of their by-laws have enforcement powers that they can also exercise accordingly.

(b) The Department is bound by the Constitution to support those that fail to meet the Norms and

Standards however criminal enforcement can be considered as a last resort in keeping with
co-operative governance.

In terms of the co-operative governance approach, the Department will endevour to assist those to come into compliance. Enforcement will be considered as the last resort to ensure compliance with the Norms and Standards.

What steps has he taken to ensure that all three spheres of government work in the spirit of cooperative governance to mitigate and to prepare coherently for the current and worsening water crisis in the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality?

Reply:

The Department of Cooperative Governance (DCOG) established a multi-sectoral structure that coordinates the drought and water scarcity situation in the country. The National Joint Drought Coordination Committee (NJDCC) is operational and responsible for the coordination of drought and water scarcity conditions, response and intervention measures. The committee is made up of the following key stakeholders:

    • Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA),
    • Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF),
    • Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS),
    • Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR),
    • Department of Health (DOH),
    • Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA),
    • Department of Labour (DOL),
    • Department of Transport (DOT),
    • South African National Defense Force (SANDF)
    • Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) and
    • South African Weather Service (SAWS)
    • Provincial Disaster Management Centres

Additional to the NJDCC, the Provincial Intervention Task Teams (PITT), which comprise relevant organs of state within the three spheres of government, were established to directly engage and consult provinces and municipalities to interrogate their mitigation and response plans and also mobilise resources in line with each organ of state’s mandate. The Western Cape Province was visited and engaged to mobilise resources to address the drought and water scarcity situation. It is important to indicate that the Provincial Disaster Management Centers participates in the NJDCC to ensure proper coordination within sector departments, support to the municipalities and provide progress reports on the situation.

The NJDCC reports to the Inter-Ministerial Task Team (IMTT), led by the Minister of Cooperative Governance, Mr Des Van Rooyen, on drought and water scarcity conditions for political oversight and guidance response and recovery measures within the country. The department further coordinates and ensure integration through the MINMEC structure.

Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Public Works

(1) (a) What has been the vacancy rate in his department (i) in each of the past three financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2017, (b) how many of the vacancies are considered critical and (c) what are the reasons for not filling the vacancies; (2) whether he has found that the vacancies have a negative impact on the mandate of his department; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

1(a). The vacancy rates of the Department for the past three financial years are as follows:

(i) 2014/15 - (21.6%)

2015/16 - (15.3%)

2016/17 - (16.03%)

(ii) As at 01 April 2017 the vacancy of the Department was 16.03%

(b). The department is currently in a transition; migrating from the old to the newly approved organisational structures and is therefore not able to provide the current and accurate number of vacancies for critical occupations. However, the number of critical vacancies as at 31 March 2017 was as follow:

Critical occupations

2. Yes, critical vacancies have a negative impact on the mandate of the department as they hamper on service delivery. The department is employing retired professionals to close the skills gaps and provide mentorship to candidate professionals.

Notes: Reasons for delays with settling the invoices

Nemisa

The reasons for the delays relates to dispute of invoices between supplier and end user; procurement documents not made available to finance to support the expenditure; dispute of rental to be paid as charged by Landlord

BBI

The 52 invoices are primary made up of 43 Tourvest invoices of which invoices have queries and once resolved will be paid.

SAPO

The invoices have not been paid due to the constrained cash flow position of both SAPO and CFG.

USAASA

The invoices not paid for more than 30 days relates to travel agents. The delays are as a results of the prolonged time to resolve queries with the service providers relating to i) lack of supporting documents provided by service providers, ii) rates charged on invoices not agreeing to quotations. The amount outstanding relating to rental of office printers was withheld due to non-completeness of services.

SENTECH

Invoices under query due to dispute over contractual assessment rates, Invoice under dispute due to rate of exchange, Invoice under dispute due to rate of exchange, Pre- payment Unreconciled due to price fluctuations in diesel, Refund from Avusa, Current invoice to be paid end of November, Incorrect Posting SAP, Masterdata (banking details) under query,

SITA

Note 1: 43 invoices amounting to R166 625 437.65 relates to Microsoft Ireland that SITA procured on behalf of consumers. SITA only pays Microsoft once the money is recovered from the customers. Of this 15 invoices amounting to R128 812 016.37 is about 120 days.

This arrangement is in place as part of SITA’s cash flow management in order to align cash inflows with cash outflows.

Note 2: 107 invoices amounting to R75 703 394.57 included in the amount over 120 days relates to disputes that are subject to formal investigations and are therefore disputes.

Payments are only processed after the formal investigations are finalized and any related disputes are resolved in line with best practice and also to ensure compliance with the PFMA.

Note 3: 580 invoices included in the amounts over 120 days amounting to R73 703 694.23 relates to disputes with suppliers that are in the process of being addressed with the specific suppliers

This relates to various disputes with specific suppliers. Invoices related to these disputes will be paid as soon as disputes are resolved in line with pest practices and also to ensure compliance with the PFMA.

Note 4: The rest of the invoices relates to operational reasons that are being addressed. The balance of invoices outstanding for longer than 120 days are 80 invoices amounting to R14 000 408.80. This small number of invoices requires further follow-up and verification before they can be paid.

Whether (a) her department and/or (b) any entity reporting to her 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) The Minister hereby submits the land register which carries the DWS immovable water infrastructure. The land assets are grouped per type of use and are based on representative land areas that the DWS requires to host, access and maintain these assets. The fair values were calculated using representative land costs for urban and rural settlement areas, open rural land and tribal land.

The DWS is currently busy reconciling this register with the available title deeds, which is a time-consuming process, considering that not all title deeds and Surveyor-General (SG) diagrams are electronically available and that many of the tribal land areas still need to be formalized. The land asset register has been developed on the basis of control other than ownership.

The type of land ownership comprises: (Land Asset register attached)

  • State owned land where the DWS or DPW own the land due to permanent use such as:
  • Dam basins to store water and to cater for increased dam levels during flood events.
  • Administrative buildings such as offices, residential housing, workshops and stores.
  • Special facilities such as pump stations, water treatment works, reservoirs and wastewater works.

Servitudes on private and tribal land to carry the following types of infrastructure and to provide access to this infrastructure for operation and maintenance purposes:

  • Canals
  • Pipelines
  • Tunnels
  • Access roads to dams and other buildings

Servitudes for “backwater” events, when water levels in rivers exceed the normal flood lines due to the backwater effect of dams. These are only applicable upstream of dams.

b) The land area was calculated using the definition of control, meaning the minimum area that is required to accommodate the above water storage at dams, access to bulk distribution infrastructure and flood events. This considered representative servitude widths, where these are not available from title deeds, and representative unit costs of land.

 (i) Location is available on a GIS; attached tables summarize the location per DWS scheme, area office and operating cluster.

(ii) Size of each item on the land register is shown in square meters in each table.

 (iii) Use of the land is listed under the column “Facility Type Description”.

With reference to the impending water shortage disaster within the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality, what were the circumstances and motivation that informed the National Disaster Management centre’s refusal to provide R500 million to the specified municipality to assist towards mitigating the disaster?

Reply:

The National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) did not refuse to provide R500 million funding request from the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality to mitigate the impact of the disaster as a result of drought. The NDMC in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders, mainly Western Cape Provincial Disaster Management Centre and the Department of Water and Sanitation conducted disaster assessments in the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality to determine the drought projects to be funded within the disaster grants. It is important to indicate that the disaster grants are conditional and allocated in line with the grant frameworks and the Division of Revenue Act (Act No. 3 of 2017). The NDMC only funded projects that fell within the grant frameworks conditions. The Western Cape Provincial Disaster Management Centre and the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality were advised to refer other projects that are not in line with the conditions for the disaster grants to other existing programmes within government.

Additionally, the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality made a presentation to the NDMC where they indicated that they have reprioritized funds within their internal resources to address the drought conditions. Therefore, the funding request for the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality was granted based on the projects that complied with the grant framework conditions

b) The Department will be implementing a policy mechanism provided for in Section 28 of the National Environmental Management Waste Act, Act No. 59 of 2008. This policy mechanism is the Indstry Waste Management Plans (IndWMP).

c) The implementation of IndWMP promotes local beneficiation of waste materail. This will require capital funding to support large infrastructure and technology investments. These will be funded through the waste charges implemented.

2. a) There is no legislation currently in place to compel the end user to dispose of the e-waste in line with the waste hierarchy. The implementation of the levy will enable Product Responsibility Organisations (PROs) to provide financial incentves to encourage the end users to take back any redundant equipment to a buy or taker-back centre or an accredited recycler. The IndWMPs will also contain targets for collection and recycling. The Producer will be legally required to achieve these targets, and there will be adequate public awareness programs as part of these plans as well.

b) The plastic bag levy is collected by the South African Revenue Service and transferred to the National Revenue Fund. The new Industry Waste Management Plan for Paper and Packaging will include measures to collect waste plastics in general, of which plastic bags are a part of. The Industry Waste Management Plan levy will be approved together with the approved plan for the collection of the various plastics, including plastic bags.

Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Economic Development

(1)Whether the shareholders of a certain company (name furnished) have any connection or link with any (a) member of and/or (b) associate of a certain family (name furnished); if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether any (a) member of and/or (b) associate of the specified family is a (i) shareholder or (ii) beneficiary of the specified company; if so, what are the relevant details?

I have been furnished with a reply by the CEO of the IDC, Mr Geoffrey Qhena, to the question, which follows below.

“There are no known members of the Gupta family that are Shareholders at Foskor. Historically the IDC has not been aware of any links by the Foskor Shareholders to the Gupta family.

Subsequent to the parliamentary question to the IDC, an extensive search to establish any links was undertaken.This search revealed no link to Coromandel International Limited, Sun International (FZE) Dubai, Kopano Foskor Employees Trust (SPV 3) and Ba-phalaborwa and Umhlathuze Community Trust (SPV 2). A link was however established with the Manyoro Consortium (SPV1).

To our knowledge, a possible connection is that of a Ms R Govender, with an ultimate indirect percentage in Foskor of 0,23% of the equity via the Manyoro Consortium. The consortium is a broadly held BEE entity. Ms R Govender is not involved in Foskor operations. Following the parliamentary question we have since established that she serves as a director in companies with Gupta family shareholding.”
