The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) is an agency of the Department of Human Settlements which is responsible for the protection of housing consumers and to regulate the home building industry. Registration with the NHBRC is mainly intended for residential buildings as areas designated as business, industrial or otherwise are excluded from the NHBRC. The Khalanga Project was therefore not registered with the NHRBC as the buildings did not fall within the requirements for registration. |

Mokause, Ms MO to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
(1)What are the details including the ranks of service providers and/or contractors from which (a) her department and (b) the entities reporting to her 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:
Honourable Member, 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 the service providers as requested. 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)”
In addition, to spend time sourcing information for the past five financial years will take time and it would not be prudent to spend resources on a project such as this one. The Honourable Member is, however, encouraged to provide me with specific areas of concern that she might have in respect of any service provider used by my Department and the entities reporting to me.

Reply:
(a) Sedgars Sport traded and conducted business on contract with the Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation in the of provinces of the Free State and the North West. The contract was for the supply of sport equipment and attire that was valid for a period of as part of 3 years ended 31 July 2017.
(b) No, the South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) does not have a contract with Sedgars Sport, however they are a registered supplier in the SASCOC supplier database.
I. In 2015 SASCOC placed a newspaper advert calling for potential suppliers to register on the SASCOC database of suppliers and Sedgars was one of the companies that registered on the database.
II. R 15 237 318.90
III. Like any supplier in the SASCOC database, when a service is required, a quote is requested from a number of suppliers on the database, and depending on the quotation received a suitable supplier will be approved. Due process thereafter is followed where a requisition is generated from the system and approved according to the specified process. A purchase order is generated, signed and payment is only made after the service has been rendered.

Mackenzie, Mr C to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services
With reference to his reply to question 3371 on 13 November 2017, (a) what are the relevant details of the building that the SA Post Office is leasing in Bloemfontein in terms of (a) where exactly are the premises located, (b) what are the terms of the lease, including the (i) period of the lease, (ii) name of the landlord and (iii) rental amount for each month and (c) what processes were followed by the SA Post Office before contracting the lease?
Reply:
I have been informed by SAPO as follows:
(a) The premises is located at the Mr Price Building, a sub-division of Plot 6, Vredenhof Smallholdings, No 2708, Langenhovenpark, Nelson Mandela Drive, Langenhovenpark, Bloemfontein.
(b)(i) Period of lease was 3 years
(ii) The Michael Family Trust
(iii) Rental amount per month as follows:
- Outlet size: 3,956m²
- Lease costs per m2 (3-year lease) : R62 m²
- Basic monthly rental (excl VAT) for duration of lease agreement:
Year 1: Rental R 245 272.00, plus R2,250.00 for 15 basement parking bays
Year 2: Rental R 264,893.76, plus R2,250.00 for 15 basement parking bays
Year 3: Rental R 286,085.26, plus R2,250.00 for 15 basement parking bays
(c) No proposal or request for tender was issued because the feasibility analysis to determine the availability of suitable buildings to house the Postbank Operations Centre in the Bloemfontein area, was conducted internally.
Following further discussions between SAPO Properties Division and the Managing Director (MD) of the Michael Family Trust, Postbank recommended that a lease agreement for the Langenhovenpark premises be entered into as a temporary site, while a new long term accommodation is explored. Approval was therefore, granted by the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), for a lease agreement of three years with the Michael Family Trust as a single source procurement, which was within the Procurement Framework and Delegation of Authority.

Reply:
(a) The allegations as contemplated in section 2(2) of the Special Investigating Unit and Special Tribunals Act, 1996 (Act No. 74 of 1996) ('SIU Act') were made to the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) in respect of the affairs of the Greater Sekhukhune District Municipality and the Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality ("the Municipalities").

In order to recover the losses suffered by the municipalities, the SIU made an application to the President of the Republic of South Africa with the support of the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs in order to apply for a proclamation. The SIU deemed it necessary that the said allegations should be investigated, and civil proceedings emanating from such investigations should be adjudicated upon.

Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education
With reference to her reply to question 2503 on 19 September 2017, what are the details of cases in which the physical abuse of learners is not considered a criminal offence?
Reply:
It is acknowledged that under common law physical abuse is classified as a criminal offence. This means that the listing of an educator’s name on the Register depends on the gravity of the sanction imposed against the educator for an offence he/she committed against a child. If an educator has physically abused a child, which abuse resulted in the child receiving medical attention/treatment, such an educator will be charged with a criminal offence by the South African Police and if found guilty by the court of law and convicted, then that person’s name will automatically be listed in the Register. In that case, the employer cannot overrule the decision of the court of law and therefore will also find the educator guilty of the alleged offence and dismissal is the only sanction for such an offence. In that case where an educator was found guilty of physical abuse against a child and dismissed, such educator’s name submitted by the employer to the Department of Social Development for listing on the National Child Protection Register.
However, in a case where an educator was found guilty of physical abuse by the employer or SACE during the disciplinary hearing, and the sanction imposed was not dismissal, (depending on the severity of the abuse) that person’s name is not listed in the Register. E.g. in a case where an educator used an open hand on the child’s back leaving the child with no finger marks or any mark related to the abuse, the educator may be given a final written warning as a sanction.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Energy
(a) What is delaying the finalisation and release of the report into the sale of 10.3 million barrels of the country’s strategic oil reserves by the Central Energy Fund and (b) when is it anticipated that the report will be published?
Reply:
a) A legal firm had been appointed to conduct investigations. The investigations took longer than expected. The report presented had gaps due to the method used by the investigators. The Minister directed that the report must be able to meet the principles of natural justice i.e. Ald. at partem. The financial aspect conducted by KPMG had to be subjected to a reliance audit and this further caused more delays.
b) When the Minister was supposed to receive final report the service provider on the legal part declared a conflict of interest. The Minister has instructed CEF and SFF to expedite the investigations without further delays.

(c) Honourable Member, 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 the contractors as requested. 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)”
(3) All the specified municipalities, except the Thabazimbi Local Municipality, use waiting lists.

15 December 2017 - NW4024
Stubbe, Mr DJ to ask the Minister of Energy
(1)(a) What was the purpose of the R2,1 million that was paid as a once-off gratuity to the former Minister of Energy shown on page 182 of the 2017 adjusted estimates of national expenditure of Vote No 26: Energy, (b) why was it paid and (c) What are the details of the gratuity; (2) (a) Why is there a shift of R17 million on the same page from the National Solar Water Heater Project to personnel remuneration, travel, gratuity, events and relocation costs, (b) what are the implications of this shift in funds for the project and (c) what are the current targets and achievements for this project for the current year?
Reply:
1. (a) The purpose of the R2.1 million is a once off gratuity paid in accordance with Proclamation by the President of the Republic of South Africa No. 50, 2008. It is in line with paragraph 3.3 once off gratuity for Members of Executive or Deputy Ministers who have served more than 5 years and whose term of office has ended.
(b) The former Minister had served more than 5 years and her term of office had ended from 31st March 2017.
(c) The details of the gratuity are as follows:
i) 4 months pensionable salary for every 5 years term amounting to R 1,847,408.96
ii) Pro-rata part of the 5 year period (last term) 1 May 2014 – 31 March 2017 amounting to R 269,413.81
(2) (a) There was a shift of R17 million from the National Solar Water Heater Project to personnel remuneration, travel, gratuity, events and relocation costs because of the savings under SWHP that could be utilised to defray excess expenditure in those items. The shift was done in line with Section 43(1) of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999.
(2) (b) The shift of R17 million has had a minimal impact on the project. The budget was largely allocated for installation of solar water heaters for the financial year 2017/18 which had not commenced by end of September 2017, as the department is currently busy with compliance requirements of governance. For the remaining months of the current financial year the achievable number of installations will not be impacted upon by the shift of funds.
(2) (c) The current targets for this project for the current year, is to increase the number of procured baseline systems in line with the budget allocation and train youth on the installation of solar water heaters at targeted municipalities. In terms of the achievement, the Department increased the number of procured baseline systems from 42 196 in 2016/17 to 87 206 in 2017/18.

Bagraim, Mr M to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
(1)With reference to her reply to question 1651 on 29 August 2017, how did the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Council spend R24,714,000 on affordable and social housing during the 2015-16 financial year and yet no units were built; (2) (a) what are the reasons that the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Council’s ability to spend its housing budget declined from 83% in the 2014-15 financial year to 30,5% in the 2016-17 financial year and (b) what amount has been allocated to the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality for the 2017-18 financial year; (3) what are the reasons that the cost per unit dropped of each RDP house that was constructed during the 2016-17 financial year, to R66 000, whilst it cost R111 000 per unit during the 2015-16 financial year?
Reply:
(1) I have been informed by Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality that the reported expenditure of R24 714 000 was for work in progress. The social housing projects are multi-year projects and the housing units are reported when the block of social housing units are complete, handed over and a completion certificate is issued. The projects have since been completed with 256 units delivered, in Germiston Fire station phase 1(144 units) and Delville (112 units) respectively, at the end of the 2016/17 financial year.
(2) (a) The contract of the appointed service providers had expired on 30 June 2016, therefore no construction could commence until new service providers were appointed. The appointment of the new service provider was finalised on 18 November 2016 and appointment letters from the Tender Office were issued on 15 December 2016. There was a period of six months where the Municipality had no service providers for the construction of houses. In addition, the late gazetting of the Human Settlements Development Grant (HSDG) funds by the Province to Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality also contributed to the poor expenditure of 2016/17. The Metropolitan Municipality received this part of HDSG in March 2017.
(b) The Municipality received an Urban Settlements Development Grant (USDG) allocation of R1, 985 billion for the 2017/2018 financial year.
(3) The approved National Subsidy Quantum is R111 000. The Provincial Subsidy Quantum on the other hand is capped at R102 953.55. The unit cost did not reduce as the National Subsidy Quantum stands at R111 000. Further, the Metropolitan Municipality reported that there were certain houses under the category of work in progress, as they were at various phases of construction. In addition, there were expenses for completed houses which were not included as they were subject to internal payment approval process at the time of reporting.

Reply:
Upon receipt of this question, the Department of Cooperative Governance (DCoG) approached the Department of Development Planning in the City of Johannesburg to request information pertaining to Erf 11208.

Dlamini, Mr MM to ask the Minister of Energy
Whether his department has engaged in any formal or informal discussions with energy companies in the past year; if so, (a) what are the names of the energy companies, (b) on what dates did the discussions take place, (c) who represented his department and (d) where did the discussions take place?
Reply:
In carrying out its mandate, the Department develops legislation, undertakes programs and projects, and in that process interacts with a plethora of stakeholders and industry players of varying nature. This for example may take a form of bilateral meetings, visits, conferences, etc. and therefore it is practically impossible to mention with specific engagements that the department, often represented by different officials at different levels, has undertaken.

Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(1)Whether, with reference to her reply to question 2511 on 5 October 2017, a report has been received from the investigator regarding the Krugersdorp High School; if not, by what date is it expected; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether the educator from the Prince Tokoto High School has been discharged from hospital; if not, what is the prognosis; if so, have the investigations commenced; (3) what charges have been preferred against the principal of the Mphaphuli High School; (4) what was the outcome of the hearings which were held on 21 and 22 September relating to the Manyano Primary School; (5) what is the nature of the developments in the criminal case against the alleged educator of the Parktown Boys High School?
Reply:
(1) The complaint was investigated by the South African Council of Educators (SACE) on 7 September 2017. The investigator, after conclusion of the case, recommended that no charges be levelled against the accused educator and furnished his reasons for the findings (Case 135/2017-GP).
(2) The educator in question was charged by SACE with 53 counts of applying corporal punishment on the learner. She has been placed on medication by her doctor, Dr Lugongolo for 6 months with effect from 08 August. This means that she may be fit for work in February 2018 and all that is known is that she has a mental condition. We tried contacting the school to ascertain her status, but the only number available keeps ringing unanswered and the landline number is no longer in service according to Telkom. The school is Prince Dokodoko High School (Case 119/2016-KZN).
(3) Without having to repeat the full reading of the charges, the Principal of Mphaphuli Secondary School was charged with three (3) charges:
- The first one was for refusing to cooperate with a SACE investigator;
- The second one was for refusing to grant the investigator access to the educators in the school; and
- The third one was for refusing to grant the investigator access to the learners or complainants in the school.
The hearing was scheduled to take place on 10 November 2017, but was postponed as his representative was engaged in arbitration on the day in question. The hearing will proceed in February 2018 (Case 133/2017-LP).
(4) The disciplinary hearing was finalised on 20 November 2017 and the presiding officer promised to furnish his report by 09 December 2017 (Case number 476/2016-MP).
(5) We have been informed by the school that the matter was postponed in court until January 2018. The accused will appear again in 2018.

With regard to her department’s presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education on 7 November 2017, has the Free State government spent 91,57% of their budget in only two financial quarters; if so, how will school transport in the remaining two financial quarters be funded?

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.

Matsepe, Mr CD to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
With regard to the closing of the bridges in (a) Central Avenue, (b) Van Riebeeck Avenue, (c) 4th Avenue and (d) 1st Avenue in Edenvale in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, (i) what assessment of the structural damage to each specified bridge has been completed, (ii) what were the findings of each assessment, (iii) what will the cost be to rehabilitate each bridge and (iv) by what date (aa) does the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality intend to start repairing each bridge and (bb) will each bridge be re-opened?
Reply:
The response from Ekhurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality is narrated underneath:
The Municipality appointed consultants to investigate the bridges. They had submitted the report to the Municipality. The answers are based on the report and Municipal comments.
(a) Central Avenue
The bridge was not closed. Visual inspections by the relevant department of the municipality indicated that it appeared to be stable enough to allow traffic through it. This was confirmed by the appointed Consultants.
(b) Van Riebeeck Avenue
The bridge was not closed. Visual inspections by the relevant department of the municipality indicated that it appeared to be stable enough to allow traffic through it. This was confirmed by the appointed Consultants.
(c) 4th Avenue
The bridge was not closed. Visual inspections by the relevant department of the municipality indicated that it appeared to be stable enough to allow traffic through it. This was confirmed by the appointed Consultants.
(d) 1st Avenue in Edenvale
This was the only bridge that was closed as the visual inspection indicated damage to the deck overlay. It is a small bridge constructed with culverts, which is the reason for closing the bridge until it could be certified as stable/ safe by specialist consultant. However, the bridge was opened for traffic after getting certification from the consultant.
(i) The appointed consultant assessed the stability and safety of the mentioned bridges for any movement/ displacement that could have taken place. They checked the stability of the abutments, floor slabs, approach roads and discharge/ downstream apron slabs. They also checked the extent of the erosion of the embankments and any movement/ damage to the decks/ overlays.
(ii) The consultant’s finding confirmed that all the bridges were structurally stable. They recommended that the upstream and downstream embankments require extensive rehabilitation due to the erosion and/ or flood damage to the areas around the wing walls.
(iii) The estimated costs for the remedial measure or to rehabilitate the bridges are as bellow:
(a) Central Avenue bridge: R 63 000 000.00 (it may vary depending on which design option is acceptable to the Consultants and Department of Water and Sanitation)
(b) Van Riebeeck Avenue bridge : R 300 000.00
(c)4th Avenue bridge/canal: R 5 600 000.00
(d) 1st Avenue bridge: R 800 000.00
(iv) The process has already been started. In order to execute the remedial measures designed by Specialist Consultants, approval from GDARD and Department of Water and Sanitation is required. These approvals and authorization requests have been submitted and approval is awaited.
(aa) Yes it does. The process has already been started. The municipality is awaiting the approvals and authorization of the design requests have been submitted and approval is awaited form GDARD and Department of Water and Sanitation.
(bb) All the bridges have been declared stable and have been open for traffic for quite some time now.
