With reference to the land evaluations conducted by the Housing Development Agency for/on behalf of the Limpopo Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, what are the (a) costs of the valuations and (b) names of all (i) individual evaluators and/or (ii) companies appointed for the evaluations, in the (aa) 2013-14, (bb) 2014-15, (cc) 2015-16 and (dd) 2016-17 financial years?

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 companies that conducted valuations 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)”

Further, the Housing Development Agency (HDA) is a national public development agency that promotes sustainable communities by making well-located and appropriately-planned land and buildings available for the development of human settlements. As its primary activities, the HDA assembles state, private and communal land and buildings and releases it for human settlement development.

Grootboom, Mr GA to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture

Whether any consultation process was followed before the decision to remove the KhoiSan Exhibition from display at the Planetarium in Cape Town was taken; if not, why not; if so, (a) who were the stakeholders consulted, (b) why were the stakeholders consulted and (c) what (i) was discussed and (ii) are the details of the decisions that were taken during these consultations?”

Reply:

The exhibition is more broadly titled the ‘Ethnographic exhibition’ and reflected not only on aspects of Khoisan but also on Nguni history and heritage. This exhibition, which was originally installed in 1970, has been a contentious one and has evoked much public debate over the years. The San Diorama that was part of the Ethnographic Gallery was closed to the public on 3 April 2001, according to the then CEO, Jack Lohman, “as part of the process to transform the Museum and to encourage consultative dialogue with Khoisan descendants, who found the diorama degrading. The Iziko Museums had discussed the decision to close the San Diorama at the National Khoisan Consultative Conference in Oudtshoorn, held from 29 March to 1 April 2001. The conference supported the decision and Mr Lawrence Lottering, Western Cape convener of the conference was quoted as saying that the display was “vulgar, its closure was long overdue, and “the Khoisan are shown as animals to Europeans and their children, who laugh at the depiction” (Iziko Museums of Cape Town Press Release 2 April 2001).

On 22 March 2016 the Iziko Museums held a ‘Re-imagining Workshop’ with stakeholders from various communities, museums and academic institutions to discuss ideas and proposals for ‘re-imagining the museum exhibitions and concepts, particularly in relation to the Ethnographic gallery at the Iziko South African Museum, the Iziko Slave Lodge Museum, the Iziko South African National Gallery and the ISAM’s Courtyard Project.

(a) Stakeholders at the ‘Re-imagining workshop included community representatives, academics from the University of Cape Town and the University of the Western Cape and museum practitioners from Iziko and other museums based in Cape Town as well as interested members of the public.

Several meetings were also held with the Khoi-Boesman - Nguni Coalition around issues of human remains as well as the future of the Ethnographic Gallery. On 7 August 2017 a Cleansing Ceremony was held in the Ethnographic Gallery with Kei Korana and Nguni Traditional Authority and was attended by community members, museum staff from Iziko and other museums as well as academics from UCT and UWC.

(b) The stakeholders were consulted to obtain their input into the future of the Ethnographic Gallery as well as of other sites of the Iziko museums and to check that the direction Iziko was taking was in line with the needs and wants of the communities it serves. The Khoi,-Boesman- Nguni Coalition was consulted because they had expressed an interest in meeting with Iziko to discuss exhibitions programmes and this provided an opportunity to obtain their views on the Ethnographic Gallery.

(c)(i) The relevance, impact and future of the Ethnographic Gallery and of the other sites were discussed as were various options for developing exhibitions that would impact on diverse communities and would speak to issues of social inclusion and nation building. The museum’s intention to replace the Ethnographic Gallery with a more appropriate exhibition was also discussed. Some of the participants in the workshop argued that there should be no displays on human history within a natural history setting as that encourages a particular view of the communities displayed.

The Khoi-Boesman- Nguni Coalition argued that there is no museum that focuses on Khoisan history and were not opposed to having new partnership exhibitions in that space.

(c)(ii) The stakeholders were strongly in support of the closure of the ‘Ethnographic Gallery’ and felt that it portrayed black people as ‘frozen in time’ and ‘othered’ them. The closure of the gallery was also regarded as being in line with the decolonizing of the museums. The Khoi-Boesman,-Nguni Coalition argued that it was important to have a cleansing ceremony in order to bring healing for the hurtful way in which Khoisan history and heritage had been portrayed.

With reference to the R9 million that his department allocated to the nine provinces to encourage the implementation of the Africa Month and related projects, (a) what amount was allocated to each province and (b) how were the monies spent? NW4427E

Reply:

(1)(a). My department allocated a budget of R1 million to each of the 9 Provinces for the 2016 Africa Month celebrations. This was based on the fact that they will each submit their costs/expenditure for the Africa Month programme after the events/celebrations. However, only three (3) Provinces responded to this commitment by DAC, namely, Eastern Cape, Free State and Limpopo.

(b). the monies were spent as follows by the three Provinces:-

Eastern Cape

The DAC had already concluded a collaboration to host a Carnival- Parade for 2016 Africa Month with a total budget of R1, 5m in the province. Following a decision to make the Carnival-Parade as one of the opening events for Africa Month, their R1 million allocations was added to the already planned budget for Carnival-Parade, hence their budget increased to R2, 5m. The Carnival-Parade was a closing event for the Africa Month

Free State

Hosted Africa Day Literature Dialogue, Africa Day Memorial Lecture and the main event of Africa Day Celebrations. 15 African Countries were invited to be part of the Africa Day Celebrations programme. Performances included; Dance, Poetry, Marimba, Live Bands, Traditional Songs by African

Nationals together with the South African band which was a musical production consisting of 60 members from the 15 African Countries’.

The R1 million to Free State Province is still pending due to dispute as FS did not comply with the time frames and the business plan was not sent to DAC timeously. The claim was made ex-post facto.

Limpopo

Hosted a vibrant Africa Day Celebrations in Ga-Seleka, in the Waterberg district from 23-25 May 2016. The R1 million was used for diverse activities which included a formal programme with (speeches, craft exhibitions, fashion show, traditional food, songs, dances by groups from other African countries such as Botswana and Zimbabwe).

To date only R3 million was therefore transferred to the three compliant Provinces.

We are still awaiting expenditure reports from the other six Provinces: - Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West, and Western Cape, and as a result, no transfer of money was made to them.

Reply:

1. A Community Sound Broadcasting Service (CSBS) licence and a radio frequency spectrum licence were issued to the Greater Lebowakgomo Community Radio (GLCR) in 2008. Both licences expired on 27 October 2013. On 25 March 2014, the Authority published in the Government Gazette 37467, a notice giving all CSCBS licensees whose licences had expired, an opportunity to submit applications for renewal of their licences within thirty (30) working days from the date of publication.

2. GLCR did not submit a renewal application during the grace period despite its name appearing in the said Notice and therefore does not have valid service and spectrum licences issued to it.

3. Having failed to submit its renewal application during the grace period provided by the Authority in 2014, GLCR was required to submit an application for a new licence in order for it to continue providing broadcasting services. No application was received by the Authority.

4. On 22 September 2015, the Authority published a Notice of a Moratorium in Respect of Applications for Class Community Sound Broadcasting Service Licences and Applications for Radio Frequency Spectrum for purposes of providing a Community Broadcasting Service in Government Gazette No. 39226. This Notice effectively means that GLCR can only apply for a new community broadcasting licence once the Authority lifts the Moratorium.

5. In terms of section 7 of the ECA, no person may provide any broadcasting service without a licence. The Authority is investigating the alleged unlawful broadcasting operations / service by GLRC with a view to taking appropriate enforcement action.

Yes, a panel of advertising procurement agencies was selected and constituted through a transparent tender process.

a) All awarded tenders and successful bidders are listed on the GCIS website at https://www.gcis.gov.za/content/about-us/procurement/awarded-bids

b) There was no stipulated contract amount for the panel of service providers tenders as the community print campaigns that GCIS implements are dependent on departmental requests. No reliable demand forecasts are available to plan a contract value.

c) All the agencies are listed on the GCIS website as per (a) above.

Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation:

What (a) is the total number of commissions of inquiry that he has commissioned since his appointment to the portfolio on 31 March 2017, (b) are the (i) details and (ii) are the timelines of each inquiry and (c) is the budget for each inquiry?

Reply:

(a) I have not established any Commissions of Inquiry since my appointment, as such Commissions can only be established by the President of the Republic as provided for in the Constitution. I have, however, established the following 2 Committees of Inquiry since my appointment:

(i) The FNB Stadium Committee of Inquiry; and

(ii) The SASCOC Committee of Inquiry.

(b) The respective Terms of Reference of each of these Committees of Inquiry have been attached hereto for easy reference. Both these Committees must finalise their work within a period of 3 months from the first day of operation.

(c) A budget for each Committee of Inquiry will be catered for by the Departments of Justice and Constitutional Development and Sport and Recreation respectively. The remuneration in respect of the appointed retired judges will be drawn from the National Revenue Fund and the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will process such payments in accordance to the time schedule of the Committees of Inquiry; with a proviso that the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will after receiving and processing all invoices in respect of the 2 retired judges, submit the same to the Department of Sport and Recreation for reimbursement according to existing protocols. All operational expenses of the judges other than remuneration (such as travelling, security, accommodation and administrative support), however, are borne by the Department of Sport and Recreation.

Remuneration and costs associated with other members of the Committees of Inquiry are the responsibility of the Department of Sport and Recreation. However, in respect of the other members of these Committees who are attorneys, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development ordinarily use the services of the State Attorney to manage their performance, quality and payment as invoicing and billing processes for attorneys requires technical skills, provided that the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will after receiving and processing all invoices in respect of the 2 attorneys who have been appointed as Committee members, submit the same to the Department of Sport and Recreation for reimbursement according to existing protocols.

(1). With reference to the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework 2015-17 expenditure report for Africa Day celebrations, what amount was budgeted for the specified celebrations in each year (2). whether his department stayed within the specified budget; if not, what is the difference between the budget and actual expenditure; if so, can the expenditure be reconciled with the budget? NW4428E

Reply:

(1). In 2015 the Department budgeted R 60 279 000 and expenditure was R 68 490 019.00. Over expenditure was (-R8 211 019).

In 2016 the Department budgeted R 44 156 750 and expenditure was R 45 262 976.80.Over expenditure was (-R1 106 336.80)

In 2017 the Department budgeted R 35 694 000 and expenditure was R 35 482 522. The under expenditure was R211 478.

(2). As indicated above, the department had an overspending in 2015 and 2016, and an under spending in 2017.

The over expenditure in 2015 and 2016 were due to Cabinet Committee’s recommendations that the Marketing and Communication aspect of Africa Month must be elevated to deal with some of the negative messages emanating from the xenophobic attacks that have tarnished the Country’s image globally. The recommendations also added that the Colloquium Programming be heightened to reflect the different African continent regions.

The Committee also emphasised that 2015, is an inaugural year of Africa Month and there is a need for a ‘Big Bang’ approach in the way Africa Month marketing is planned. As such an extra scope of work had to be developed taking into account the additional elements in implementing the revised and elevated Africa Month Programme.

Changes in the theme and increased scope of work necessitated extra marketing and communications strategies to widely popularize Africa Month and the Colloquium programme that were not initial budgeted for.

As a result of these developments, additional financial implications were incurred from the following additional items in 2015:- TNA breakfast, Equilibruim publication; Billboards, On ground activation, CNBC Partnership Package, Colloquium media, World Economic Forum Africa meeting, as well as Independent news supplement.

In 2016 an amount of R6 million was approved on the basis that the same branding materials used in 2015 will be re-used in 2016. However, it was changed, hence over expenditure was incurred again in 2016.

In 2017 the under expenditure was due to the fact that R3.5 million was allocated for media space, and only R3, 231 765. was spent, as an article on Sawubona Magazine was cancelled due to the fact that Ndalo Media was not compliant with Treasury regulations and their Tax certificate had expired.

(b) The Housing Development Agency acquire land for development human settlements.

(c) R65 400 000.

Profile picture: Waters, Mr M

Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Transport

(1)With reference to his reply to question 2787 on 19 September 2017, what are the reasons that the size of the culverts under the N3 highway were not done in accordance with the master plan (a) after the 2009 flood and/or (b) in 2011 as this resulted in the flooding of the N3 highway in 2016; (2) what steps are being taken to ensure that the proposed improvements to the Bedfordview drainage, which will lead to faster runoff to and under the R24 will not cause flooding at Boeing Rd and further downstream; (3) will the proposed retention pond of 14000 m3 between R24 and Boeing Rd be sufficient to retain all the water from a 1:20 year storm event; if not, (a) why not and (b) what steps is his department taking to ensure the retention dam can retain water from a 1:20 year storm?

Reply:

1. (a) The master plan for the development of the area was approved by the City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. A layout plan was obtained from Ekurhuleni Metro showing the development upstream of the culvert in the flood plain. From this layout plan it is clear that City approved developments based on a 1:20 year flood, which was not shown on the plans, and not based on the 100 year flood as per legislation applicable. The development of the erven is in the flood plain that acted like a natural retention pond. Calculations by our independent experts indicate that the development is in fact below the 20 year flood line. Prior to the property development within the flood plain the culvert acted adequately. Due to the risk associated with the downstream flooding of property if culvert sizes are increased, the size of the culverts cannot just be increased without substantial improvement to downstream drainage by City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.

(b) Due to risk associated with the downstream flooding of property the size of the culverts cannot just be increased without substantial improvement to downstream drainage by City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality on their land.

2. SANRAL is aware of the problems in the area especially regarding flooding in the vicinity of Boeing Road and the engineers are in discussion with the City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality to address the problem. In addition SANRAL is in a process of appointing professional consulting engineers to assist with a detailed investigation/design to find a solution in consultation with City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.

3. (a) Retention ponds were only mentioned in the flood study as a possible solution to the problem but there were some reservations as to how effective these would be. The limited land space on both sides of the N12 highway will determine the size of the pond/s that can actually be constructed, and thus the size of the flood event that can be retained.

(b) SANRAL has already commenced with the appointment of its own professional consulting engineers to assist with detailed investigation/design to find a solution in collaboration with the City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.

With reference to the medium term expenditure framework 2015-17 and his department’s spending of R5,8 million, R5,1 million and R3,5 million towards public conversations and dialogues around the country, what (a) were the reasons for such financial expenditure on dialogues and (b) was the total breakdown of cost for each of these colloquia?

Reply:

(a). Community conversations provide a dialogic platform for people from diverse backgrounds to come together in a conversation about how to bridge persistent socio-historical divisions, mainly entrenched along racial, cultural and ethnic identities. The main assumption, which is part of the methodological approach, is the idea that levers for cohesion are located from within the communities themselves instead of from without. In other words, the remedies for cohesion can be superimposed from on high. Rather, they must come from communities themselves through an open, inclusive and honest dialogue. In the last two years, 33 conversations were held across all the 9 provinces. The intent is also to use the substance of the analysis in a way that better test the efficacy or otherwise of existing programmes on social cohesion. Furthermore, the analysis from the conversations is important as it must necessarily inform the development or conceptualisation of new strategic interventions for social cohesion and nation building.

The total budget, which is part of the Department’s contractual obligations with the service provider i.e. the National Institute for Community Development and Management (NICDAM), covering the three year period (2015/2016, 2016/2017 & 2017/2018) is R6 424 479.60.

(b). During the 2016/2017 financial year, the Department rolled out 33 community conversations in all nine ( 09) provinces, total expenditure on conversation only, amounting to R806 285

However, an additional expenditure of R1 071 679 was incurred with regards to, among others, project management costs, research, audit fees, provincial briefings and preparation of reports, as well as editing and production of video material.

Bara, Mr M R to ask the Minister of Human Settlements

With reference to the land evaluations conducted by the Housing Development Agency for/on behalf of each of the respective municipalities in Limpopo, what are the (a) costs of the valuations and (b) names of all (i) individual evaluators and/or (ii) companies appointed for the evaluations, for the (aa) 2013-14, (bb) 2014-15, (cc) 2015-16 and (dd) 2016-17 financial years?

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 companies that conducted valuations 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)”

Further, the Housing Development Agency (HDA) is a national public development agency that promotes sustainable communities by making well-located and appropriately-planned land and buildings available for the development of human settlements. As its primary activities, the HDA assembles state, private and communal land and buildings and releases it for human settlement development. It also provides land and housing delivery support services to organs of state at local, provincial and national level.

I have been informed that all land valuations undertaken by the HDA in Limpopo were undertaken at the request of the Provincial Department of COGSTA and the information is provided in the table below:

(1)Whether, with regard to the insufficient provision of water at the Butterworth Hospital in the Eastern Cape, which resulted in ill people being released to go home and suffer or possibly die, he was informed of the pending water crisis; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether any measures were in place to avoid the above-mentioned consequence; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

(1) Through the MEC for Health in the Eastern Cape, I was made aware of water challenges facing Butterworth area, thus affecting Butterworth Hospital.

Patients were transferred to other health facilities and no patients were sent home to die.

During the period in question, water carting happened in the hospital. As an additional measure, the Hospital reservoir is being expanded.

The drought situation has drastically improved with the good rains that we received. The Hospital is functioning normally.

(2) Yes, measures were put in place to avert the situation, such as the following:

(a) WATER CARTING

The Department is currently carting water from East London to Butterworth Hospital.

(b) BOREHOLE DRILLING

When the risk was identified by the Department in 2016, Geo-hydrological studies were commissioned by the Eastern Cape Department of Health which unfortunately indicated that there is no underground water in the Butterworth area, hence the Department resolved to initiate a project to construct an additional 800 Kilo Litre water reservoir. The project is currently in procurement. The reservoir will be sufficient to store water for 48 hours.

(c) SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH MNQUMA MUNICIPALITY

The Department made arrangements with Local Municipality to open water specifically to the Hospital reservoir on certain days of the week.
