Mackenzie, Mr C to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services
With reference to his reply to question 3078 on 30 October 2017, (a) which processes are being amended to improve the SA Post Office’s ability and capacity to handle the increased volumes, (b) what is the cost of implementing these processes and (c) by which date will these improvements be completed?
Reply:
I have been informed by SAPO as follows:
(a)
- A total review of all operational activities was conducted and a duplicated process was identified. As a result, the function of sorting and dispatching mail items from Johannesburg International Mail Centre (JIMC) to Post Offices, has been moved to Mail Centres which are allocated around Gauteng. This has assisted JIMC in placing additional 20 staff members into their operations. The exercise had no cost implications.
- Additional six PC work stations were purchased at a cost of R90 000 to increase Capturing and Assessing processes. Ten printers were acquired at a cost of R90 000, to replace broken ones and for the new work stations. This has already been concluded.
- SAPO introduced dispatches on IPS system to Durban International Mail Centre (DIMC) and Capemail International Mail Centre (CIMC) in order to replace the aged Track and Trace system. CIMC and DIMC have already been implemented at no cost. They intend expanding this process to Witspos, Germiston and Tshwane Mail Centres at a cost of R245 000. This will be finalised in December 2017.
- The entity have started a Re-engineering process to establish crewing levels in line with a 24/7 operational window. They are currently operating night shift and weekend operations on overtime basis which cost R13 463 632 from April to November 2017, for JIMC, DIMC and CIMC.
- They have improved on the capturing process of items on the IPS system. SAPO used to capture the weight of items at an inception stage. This restricted processing outputs as capturing could only be done at work stations that had scales affixed to them. Only six work stations had scales affixed while the other 45 did not have scales. By moving the capturing of weights to a back office administration process, they are now capable of higher outputs on their capturing process of items as they are not restricted to using work stations with scales. No cost attached to this process and it has already been implemented.
- SAPO have reviewed the use of the Conveyor belt system within JIMC, in order to integrate the use of the belt with their current floor layout and process flow. They intend using the belt to eradicate demand of physical labour whereby, SAPO will use the belt within their process flow. An amount of R30 000, will be required to get the belt running.
- SAPO are currently in the process of changing the Expedited Mail Service (EMS) deliveries to Speed Service Couriers (SSC), in order to fulfil EMS Co-operative agreement. EMS must be delivered to the door and SAPO currently do not have capacity in terms of vehicles and drivers to fulfil this mandate nationally. In order to eradicate duplicate processes the door deliveries will be done by SSC. The process has already been implemented in Western Cape (WC), Eastern Cape (EC) and Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN). SAPO still need to conclude rollout to Central, Wits and Northern Regions. They will require an additional five IPS work stations at Speed Services within these regions at a cost of R125 000.

Khawula, Ms MS to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
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”.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
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

Reply:
Not all employees in the Public Service are required to submit financial disclosures of interest. In terms of the Public Service Regulations, 2016 only Senior Managers are required to submit financial disclosures every year by 30 April for the previous financial year. The new Public Service Regulations, 2016 also gave the Minister of Public Service and Administration the power to identify other categories that must disclose. The Determination on other categories of designated to disclose their financial interest and the directive on the form, date and financial interest to disclose on was signed on 16 March 2017. This determination identified other categories to disclose financial interest below the level of SMS:
- Employees earning an equivalent of salary level 13 and above through the OSD or personal notches
- Employees appointed at salary level 12 including those employees earning the equivalent of salary level 12 through the OSD
- Employees appointed at salary level 11 including those employees earning the equivalent of salary level 11 through the OSD
- Employees in Supply Chain and Finance Units, irrespective of their salary level
The submission date of 30 June 2017 and 31 July 2017 for the above-mentioned groups was extended to 30 September 2017. The e-disclosure system however remained open until 31 October 2017 for electronic submission of financial disclosures for these groups. Departments have until 31 December 2017 to finalise the checking of the information disclosed for the 2016/2017 financial year.

Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
With reference to the product design and waste minimisation plans of her Department which certain official’s (name and details furnished) claims will be carried out by raising awareness, (a) what other measures will be taken to reduce waste, and (b) how will awareness reduce waste?
Reply:
a) The following measures will be implemented to promote waste reduction:
- Developing capacity through a specialised programme which upskills agri-stakeholders to minimise food loss.
- Compilation and updating of packaging design guidelines with the Department of Trade and Industry, Industry Associations and SABS, and a voluntary grading scheme with marketing value for brand owners can improve the design of packaging and increase collaboration between brand owners and recycling companies.
- Formalising the packaging industry extended producer responsibility plans to enable and support the unification and alignment around packaging design guidelines and other packaging industry initiatives, a mechanism which formalises Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
- Implementation of packaging design guideline once it has been developed.
b) The awareness initiatives are additional measures to enhance waste minimisation and promote the recycling economy. These measures aim to create a joint platform for communicating messages to improve consumer behaviour and industry practice towards pro-recycling in the waste sector by focusing on specific areas, including:
- minimisation of food waste by eating ugly fruit;
- separation of waste at household-level (e.g. promote the incentives and/or Buy Back Centres, re-inforce the benefits of not contaminating paper waste with food waste, etc.); and
- safe disposal of waste (e.g. promote and create awareness on the e-Waste drop-off centres).
The awareness raising measures will increase consumer awareness and demand for recyclable products that are packaged in an environmentally friendly manner.

Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
(1)With reference to Operation Phakisa and waste disposal, (a) will her Department introduce an e-waste levy to increase the collection rate, (b) what are the plans of her Department to deal with e-waste, and (c) will it be (i) local or (ii) exported; and (2) (a) how will the new proposed levy increase collection rates, and (b) how will it be different to the plastic bag levy?
Reply:
1. a) Yes. The participants representing the ewaste sector requested that waste charges be introduced to increase the collection rates of ewaste.
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?
Reply:
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.”
Mr MG Qhena, IDC Chief Executive Officer, 1 December 2017
For further information, a list of Foskor Shareholders is tabulated below.

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.

Meshoe, Rev KR to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
(1)(a) Whether the current electoral law is transitional or permanent; and (b) if it is transitional, by what date will it be made permanent; (2) whether any recommendations made by the Van Zyl Slabbert Commission on Electoral Reform report of January 2003 have been implemented; if not, why not; if so, (a) which recommendations were implemented and (b) on what date were the recommendations implemented?
Reply:
(1) The current electoral law, namely, the Electoral Commission Act, 1996 (Act 51 of 1996), the Electoral Act, 1998 (Act 73 of 1998), and the Local Government Municipal Electoral Act, 2000 (Act 27 of 2000) are permanent and remain applicable. Section 5(1)(j) of the Electoral Commission Act empowers the Commission to continuously review legislation and to propose amendments to the national legislature. Therefore the Commission periodically makes proposals regarding amendments to electoral laws.
(2) The Electoral Task Team was established by Cabinet in 2002. The Task Team was unable to reach consensus and in consequence, two reports were presented. A majority report advocated for change in the electoral system and the minority report argued for the retention of the extant electoral system. As far as the Electoral Commission is aware, neither of the recommendations of the Majority or Minority Report of the Electoral Task Team was formally adopted and implemented. It is the prerogative of Cabinet to process the recommendations, and any consequential actions therefrom arising.

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs

Reply:
The below response is based on the information provided by the Municipal Demarcation Board:

Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
(1)Whether her department is taking steps to ensure that there are more voting stations situated at overseas venues, where a sufficient number of South Africans live and are registered; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) what has she found to be the number of citizens that constitutes a sufficient number?
Reply:
1. Yes. In respect of registration of voters and voting arrangements outside of the Republic, the Electoral Commission works in partnership with the Department of International Relations & Co-operation (DIRCO). Section 33(3) and 33(4) of the Electoral Act 73 of 1998 presently limit points of voting outside the Republic to embassies, high commissions and consulates. This is so because the Electoral Commission is dependent on DIRCO’s available human resources and related infrastructure for registration and voting arrangements outside of the Republic. In the meantime, the Electoral Commission has undertaken a review of procedures for voting outside the Republic in national elections following the 2014 national elections, and plans to approach DIRCO for the consideration of the possible expansion of the number of voting facilities outside of the Republic for the 2019 national elections, where diplomatic missions proved to be inadequate.
2. The operational details of this proposition including the threshold for number of registered voters per voting facility outside of the Republic are yet to be discussed and determined.

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.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
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.

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
Whether a report has been generated concerning the support provided to the Thabazimbi Local Municipality in Limpopo in terms of section 154 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996; if not, why not; if so, (a) what are the details thereof and (b) by what date will it be made available?
Reply:
A comprehensive report on the support provided to the Thabazimbi Local Municipality is still to be generated, and I have requested a meeting with the recently appointed MEC for COGHSTA, Mr. Ndou, to receive a report on progress to date with regard to the support given to the Municipality. A progress report will then be submitted when made available.

Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education
With reference to her reply to question 2244 on 6 September 2017, (a) what are the (i) ages and (ii) grades of the learners who fell pregnant, (b) what number of the learners have returned to school after giving birth and (c) what professional background training does the Learner Support Agent who must assist the specified learners to cope with their pregnancies have?
Reply:
a) The reply was informed by the official data extracted from the Education Management Information System (EMIS). EMIS data on learner pregnancy is generally disaggregated by school and can provide grades of learners upon request, however this will not include their ages. The data shows that 34 learners were reported to be pregnant at Masiqhakaze Secondary while Tipfuxeni Secondary indicated that 5 learners were pregnant. The request for grade specific data has been submitted and this will be shared at the next meeting.
b) Although the Department encourages parents to ensure that learners return to school shortly after giving birth, the Department does not collect data on the number of leaners who actually return to school after giving birth.
c) The Learner Support Agent (LSA) is generally an out-of-school youth (similar to a community Child Care Coordinator, but in this case, specifically for the school) who supports learners with basic services including homework assistance, home visits, and access to learner support and learner health and wellbeing services. They do not directly assist learners to cope with pregnancy. LSAs refer learners to professionals who would grant them access to services where needed. Some LSAs have a professional background in Social Work or Child and Youth Care Work.
