1. (a) to (c) Yes, as with persons employed or contracted in the National Treasury, the person has signed various internal memoranda of the National Treasury, all related to her area of work, but such signing was always to make recommendations for the consideration of her manager and ultimately to the Director-General or the Minister, for approval. In order to ensure transparency and accountability, it has been practice in the National Treasury for many years that decisions to be taken in terms of law are supported by written memoranda submitted to the Director-General and, where applicable, also to the Minister. These memoranda are signed by the relevant officials, advisors or contractors asked to comment or make recommendations to the decision-maker. The decision-making within the department vests with the Director-General, and in some instances, the Minister, but in some cases, they have delegated decision-making authority to an official reporting directly to the Director-General.

It will not be cost-effective to examine all memoranda signed by the named person. The named person has provided excellent service, particularly to support the Twin Peaks financial sector regulatory reform related to market conduct and the fair treatment of financial sector customers. If there is any evidence of wrong-doing, the Honorable Member is welcome to submit it to me so that the National Treasury can investigate it.

2. (a) and (b): The person was contracted to act against a chief director position, until such time as a new chief director was appointed. This was in line with the general practice in the National Treasury when some consultants acted against vacant positions. This practice was terminated following a direction by Mr M Gigaba when he was Minister of Finance, which the department then began to implement around October 2017.

I am informed by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) that its former Bank Supervision Department (BSD), which is absorbed into the new Prudential Authority (PA), conducted an onsite inspection in terms of the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) Act at the Bank of Baroda in 2014 and found deficiencies relating to compliance with the FIC Act as well as weaknesses in controls to counter money laundering and terrorist financing. The BSD instructed the Bank of Baroda to remediate the weaknesses found, after which the Bank of Baroda assured the BSD that such compliance deficiencies had been remediated.

BSD conducted a follow-up inspection in 2016 and found that there were still FIC Act compliance deficiencies as well as weaknesses in controls to counter money laundering and terrorist financing.

The SA Reserve Bank is not able to disclose at this stage the specific administrative sanctions it may have recommended, as the process for imposing any administrative sanctions (including whether both parties accept the outcome) has not as yet been completed.

The information required in this question deals with the strength of the South African National Defence Force and due to its security sensitivity it cannot be made public, but can be only be discussed in a closed session of the Joint Standing Committee on Defence.

(1)(a) Lecturers in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training TVET colleges are on similar salary bands to that of educators in public schools. In 2010, a Collective Agreement to create parity between the salaries of TVET college lecturers and educators in public schools was reached in the Education Labour Relations Council - Further Education and Training College Bargaining Unit (ELRC - FETCBU). The ELRC - FETCBU Collective Agreement 1 of 2010 was implemented in all the public TVET colleges.

(b) The ELRC - FETCBU Collective Agreement 3 of 2013 brought parity in conditions of service between TVET college lecturers and educators in public schools. College-paid lecturers who did not receive benefits such as a pension and medical aid were then offered 37% in lieu of benefits.

The transfer of all TVET college lecturers to the Department on 1 April 2015 further ensured that all lecturers received benefits and moved away from the 37% in lieu of benefits. Where lecturers are alleging to have lesser conditions of service than educators, these are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. In terms of the Continuing Education and Training Act (CET Act) 16 of 2006 as amended, no public TVET college lecturer, either paid through PERSAL or being a college council employee, should be subjected to lesser conditions of service than what is provided in the public service in general.

(c) Lecturers in the public TVET colleges have equal opportunities for promotions like those experienced by educators in public schools. The difference would be in the availability of promotional posts, given the vast number of public schools compared to TVET colleges.

(d) Currently, at a national level, there are no awards for the excellent performance of lecturers. However, at individual TVET college level, some colleges recognise lecturers for excellent performance. The Department is in the process of initiating plans on a national level to recognise excellent performance of lecturers and once finalised; it will be communicated to the TVET colleges and public.

(2)(a) In terms of Section 20(1)(b) of the CET Act 16 of 2006 as amended, college councils can establish additional posts for colleges over and above what the Minister has established. Section 20(4)(c) of the Act also states that the council must remunerate staff from the funds received by the public college in question from other sources than the money received in terms of section 22 of the Act. Further, in terms of Section 20(4)(d) of the Act, a college council must determine the functions, conditions of service and privileges for staff appointed in additional posts.

(b) In terms of Section 20(4)(e) of the CET Act 16 of 2006 as amended, a college council must remunerate staff in additional posts, that is no less than the remuneration paid to staff appointed in terms of the Public Service Act, appointed by the Minister.

College councils are empowered to pay comparable remuneration to retain college lecturers with scarce skills in fields where the remuneration levels of persons with comparable qualifications and practical experience in the private sector are considerably higher than in the public sector. Where such lecturers are not in posts created by the council(s) in terms of Section 20(1)(b), councils may by agreement with the Minister, pay top-up salaries to Ministerial appointed staff who possess such scarce skills to retain them. Processes to review personnel administrative measures suitable to TVET colleges are underway and should pronounce in favour of such eventualities to enhance the retention of lecturers with scarce skills.

(3(a) Currently, TVET college managers like all managers within the public service sign performance agreements with their supervisors annually and they are awarded performance bonuses based on the achievements of agreed upon targets. Lecturers are awarded pay progression based on the Integrated Quality Management System, a performance assessment tool that is largely viewed as having failed to serve its purpose. The process of reviewing the personnel administrative measures for TVET college lecturers will address amongst others, the lecturer performance management and development system, which should have a clear link between their conditions of service and performance.

(b) The review of personnel administrative measures will also consider linking the achievements of learners in external assessments and the performance of lecturers.

(b) and (c) The South African Police Service (SAPS} only supports the Municipal Police or the Sherriff of the Court when the evictions become violent and are classified as violent public protests. The SAPS does not keep the statistics of evicted people, since it is not a SAPS key function.

a) The Finance and Accounting Services Sector Education and Training Authority (FASSET) processes payments within 30 days as required in terms of the National Treasury Regulation 8.2.3. Currently, there are no outstanding payments. FASSET uses the reimbursement model for the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Work-Based Experience Project whereby the employer pays a stipend to interns and thereafter submits an invoice together with the following supporting documents to FASSET:

• Monthly report;
• Learner payslip; and
• Proof of payment.

In some cases, employers do not submit all the required documentation on time, which leads to payment delays because FASSET is unable to process an invoice without the accompanying supporting documentation.

b) Not applicable.

c) FASSET is currently reviewing the “reimbursement model” of paying employers who are part of the TVET Work-Based Experience Project as some employers experience cash flow problems when they are required to pay stipends to interns.

No post settlement support was provided by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to the N’wandlamahiri Communal Property Association (CPA); because the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has not received any application for post-settlement support from the CPA. The supports provided by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Provincial Departments of Agriculture are demand driven based on applications for support or referrals from other departments and entities.

I regret to inform the Honourable Member that neither the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development nor the National Prosecuting Authority has the information readily available as requested.

The data on sentencing, which the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has captured through the Integrated Case Management System (ICMS), is only available from 2014.

In addition, the Department has identified issues regarding inaccuracy and incompleteness of data. The Department is in the process of addressing system issues and putting effective mechanisms in place to hold officials that are responsible for data accountable.

The Department has however proactively put initiatives in place to address discriminatory practices, inclusive of racism. Including:

• • The Departmental Employment Equity Committee (DEEC), which promotes non-discrimination of any form or ground, including race; whose objectives are the identification and elimination of barriers that can have an adverse impact on designated groups.

• • The Department Policy on Management of Bullying, to enhance employee awareness on ill attitudes and behaviours in the workplace; discourage workplace harassment; procedures to report harassment cases and indicate available support structures.
  • Quarterly diversity awareness sessions to enhance employee awareness on diversity issues, as part of implementing the Affirmative Action measures as contained in the Departmental Employment Equity Plan 2015-2021.

a) The Inter-Ministerial Task Team identified 12 municipalities in the North West that were deemed to be under tremendous distressed to be prioritized for dedicated support. The approach of support at these 12 municipalities focuses on the 3 priority areas, namely:

(i) Governance – audit outcomes; unauthorised, irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure; internal control and oversight environment; filling of critical senior managers positions in compliance with regulations, implementation of forensic reports that were conducted also conducting investigations in terms of section 106 of the Municipal Systems Act; strengthen political and administrative interface; quality of political leadership and institutionalisation of the Code of Conduct for Councillors and Officials as provided for in schedule 1 and 2 of the Municipal Systems Act in order to address accountability and consequence management.

(ii) Service delivery – infrastructure planning, delivery and implementation management; priority action plans for Water Services Authority to address operational vulnerabilities including maintenance and refurbishment; resolve roles and responsibilities between district and local municipalities with respect to the water and sanitation function by reviewing the existing Service Level Agreements (SLA); accelerate spending on Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) to improve service delivery.

(iii) Financial management – budget management, cash control, debtor management, revenue enhancement, supply chain management and development of financial recovery plans.

(b) Subsequently, the Minister for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs issued a directive in terms of section 100(1)(a) to the MEC for Local Government and Human Settlement to make corrective measures regarding the weakness and shortcomings of the Department’s failure to approve and implement the organizational structure for the past five year. Due to lack of adequate capacity, the Department had also failed to provide support to the 22 municipalities. This was affirmed by the recent Auditor-General’s reports, that showed that North West province is the third highest amongst provinces with the worst performing municipalities.

As part of implementation of the directive, the MEC for Local Government and Human Settlement, on 12 June 2018, issued a directive to all 22 municipalities in terms of section 139(1)(a) of the Constitution. Mayors were directed to implement and prioritize corrective measures and report to the MEC on monthly basis the following critical areas:

1. Post Audit Action Plans.
2. Appointment of senior managers.
3. Acceleration of spending on infrastructure grants.
4. Development of financial recovery plans,
5. Review bloated municipal organizational structures.
6. Implementation of Back to Basics Support Plans and
7. Improve service delivery to communities to curb service delivery protest.

The oil production facility that is anchored in Mossel Bay is owned and managed by PetroSA. The vessel is not an oil drilling rig but an oil production facility, called the Orca. The facility resembles an oil drilling rig because it was converted from an oil drilling rig to become an oil production facility. The monthly costs to maintain the ORCA in its current location is approximately R2 million.

The question was referred to the Electoral Commission which responded as follows:

1. A hitherto unknown complainant filed a complaint with the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigations (DPCI). The Commission became aware that a complaint had been lodged whilst it was still considering the report of the Public Protector and when some of its officials were being interviewed as part of the DPCI investigation.

2. Having noted that a complaint had already been laid and that an investigation was already under way, the Commission regarded the reporting required under section 34 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act (POCCA), Act 12 of 2004 as no longer needing its further consideration as the investigation in terms of section 22 of the POCCA Act had already commenced.

No, the mandate of the department has not changed.

The mandate of the Waste Management Bureau is outlined in the National Environmental Management Waste Amendment Act, Act 26 of 2014 (NEMWAA). Part 7A, Section 34A of NEMWAA refers to the establishment of the Waste Management Bureau.

Section 34D relates to some of the objects of the Waste Management Bureau as listed below.

“34D. The objects of the Bureau are to—

(a) function as a specialist implementing agent within the Department in respect of matters delegated to the Bureau in terms of this Act;

(b) promote and facilitate minimisation, re-use, recycling and recovery of waste;

The presentation to the committee reflected on a transitional phase in the management of waste tyre operations. It was indicated that National Treasury gave an approval for the appointment of service providers that had been contracted through Recycling & Economic Development Initiative of SA (REDISA) without following an open tender for a maximum period of twelve (12) months.

Contracts were subsequently entered into for 3-12 months period. All contracts are coming to an end on 30 September 2018 and the Bureau is following an open competitive process to ensure continuity and improve the management of waste tyres in South Africa.

(1) (i) Yes, I have been advised that my predecessor was accompanied by a family member between 22 September 2013 and 26 February 2018. This was done in accordance with the Ministerial Handbook: Handbook for Members of the Executive and Presiding Officers. Section 3.1 and 3.2 of the Ministerial Handbook state that, “Members (of the Executive) and their spouses (or an adult family member accompanying the Member in official capacity) are entitled to first class travel for official purposes at the expense of the Department concerned. The costs for official journeys abroad by Members, and their spouses or adult family members accompanying them in official capacity, are for the account of the relevant Department”.

(aa) With respect to the request to provide names, the Honourable Member would recall that there is an established practise applicable to parliamentary questions contained in the document titled, “Guide to Parliamentary Questions in the National Assembly. 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)”

According to the information received from the City of Johannesburg, municipal water pipelines do intersect with the Sasol gas lines:

(a) Within the Nasrec precinct; and

(b) In other locations next to the FNB Stadium.

(i) The only possible consequence, because of intersecting municipal water pipelines and Sasol gas lines, would occur when maintenance and/or construction occurs where there is a possibility of damage to the other pipeline, which would require repairs. The City of Johannesburg has its own gas mains and is therefore knowledgeable about what needs to be done in the case of an accident.

(ii) Yes, the intersection can, to a minimal extent, cause an unsafe environment in the event of an accident. The City of Johannesburg has assured COGTA that it would know what to do in the case of an accident.

(iii) The two organizations will exchange as-built drawings indicating where their pipelines are.

TAX OMBUD

The Office of the Tax Ombud is not contracted to any consulting firm or company.

Reply:

1. (a) On 1 April 2018, when all members of the TMT were appointed. Note that all appointments are only for a limited period, specified in the Regulations as three months after a new Commissioner is appointed, which is expected to be within six months of the date of establishment of the Financial Sector Conduct Authority.

(b) The person was appointed in terms of section 3(1)(b)(iii) of the Regulations published in terms of Financial Sector Regulation Act No 9 of 2017, and Gazetted in Gazette No. 10814 on 29 March 2018. The role of the Minister is as outlined in the Regulations which is to nominate a suitable person.

2. (a) No. The TMT is merely a temporary arrangement pending the appointment of a full-time Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners of the FSCA. The process to appoint the full-time Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners includes an advert calling for applications. The advert was first published on the Treasury website and in selected print newspapers on 8 April 2018. The process for appointing the TMT is specified in Regulations published in terms of Financial Sector Regulation Act No 9 of 2017 and Gazetted in Gazette No. 10814 on 29 March 2018.

(b) The Minister generally seeks the advice of his officials, and in this case, approved the recommendation made by the Director-General of the National Treasury. The recommendation was made based on the person’s extensive involvement in the Twin Peaks reform process, including in developing a draft market conduct policy framework as per the discussion document published in 2014, and in the development of the Financial Sector Regulation Act over the time period 2013 to enactment in 2017.

(3) (a) and (b) Similar information was asked of the Minister of Finance by the EFF in Parliamentary Question NW 168, a comprehensive response was provided. The specified person was first appointed as a Specialist Consultant in Financial Sector Policy on 1 August 2011 for a contract period of 12 months with the option to extend the contract if required. The consultant had previously worked at NT as an employee within the financial sector policy chief directorate prior to this appointment. The contract primarily related to the repeal and replacement of the Securities Services Act and promulgation of new Financial Markets Act and revision of Regulation 28 of Pension Funds Act. Due to extended parliamentary process a two-month contract extension was approved with no additional fees being paid. This process followed all the supply chain rules for a single source technical assistance contracting process.

(4) (a) No, the first contract (as described above) was not renewed. The consultant was subsequently appointed through a new contract from 1 March 2013, over two periods of 24 months each, to establish a policy and legal framework for the new Twin Peaks model, focusing on the policy framework for the coming market conduct regulator, especially to treat financial customers more fairly. This contract was extended by a final 12-month period up to the 31 March 2018, augmented by additional services required, as the Twin Peaks legislation took longer than anticipated to be processed in Parliament. These additional services included but were not limited to the finalisation of a national financial inclusion education policy and monitoring the over-indebtedness project. This process followed all the supply chain rules for a single source technical assistance contracting process. The successive contracts were due to delays in processes, including parliamentary processes to approve the Financial Sector Regulation Bill.

(b) and (c) She has been paid in accordance with DPSA rates for this type of work and at the work level. It should be noted that this approach was significantly more cost efficient than hiring an external consultancy company to do the necessary research, and support the department during the parliamentary process to approve the bill.

(1) At the outset it should be stated that the amount that was borrowed to Eskom is not R50 billion. The PIC advanced a loan of R5 billion to Eskom because it was within the PIC’s client mandate. The existence of a guarantee by the South African Government on the bridging facility was an overriding factor in the wake of Eskom credit rating downgrades. See further detail under item 2 below.

(2) The investment was duly considered in terms of the Mandate of the Client as well as the PIC’s Investment Policy and Delegation of Authority, and is justifiable on the following grounds:

Character of the loan

The loan to Eskom was in the form of short-term bridging facility for one month. The pricing on the facility was relatively attractive at Jibar plus 75 basis points, translating to 7.65% for a period of one month. Over and above this, there was an undertaking from the government of South Africa to provide a guarantee on the loan facility. The borrower had provided satisfactory evidence that Eskom had secured financial commitments to meet all of the borrower’s funding requirements up to March 2019. It is important to note that Eskom paid the principal amount of R5 billion in full plus the interest amount on 28 February 2018.

Governance

In approving the loan facility, the PIC also took comfort from the fact that National Treasury, the Department of Public Enterprises and Eskom jointly developed a going-concern plan, seeking to address the challenges faced by Eskom. There was also confirmation that all required approvals had been obtained for Eskom to appoint a permanent Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

(3) No. The PIC issued a joint statement with the Government Employees Pension Fund to announce the decision to advance the R5 billion loan to Eskom. The repayment of the loan was also widely covered by the media.
