Stander, Ms T to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

(a) What is the total number of persons who have been (i) charged, (ii) prosecuted and (iii) convicted for female genital mutilation in each province (aa) in each of the past three financial years and (bb) since 1 April 2017 and (b) what are the details of the sentences handed down in each successful conviction?

Reply:

I wish to inform the Honourable Member that female genital mutilation is currently not defined in terms of the South African common or statutory law as a criminal offence.

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, as well as the National Prosecuting Authority therefore do not have any such charges and convictions on its statistical databases. An accused person may however, be criminally charged with an offence, for example, of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm, if female genital mutilation was inflicted. Such cases would however not be reflected separately in the statistical data bases.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

With reference to the reply to question 2463 on 5 September 2017, what steps has (a) the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) and (b) her department taken to encourage students to pay off their debt owed to NSFAS?

Reply:

a) The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has put in place the following collection processes during the 2015/16 financial year to increase recoveries:

  1. Appointment of External Debt Collectors (EDC) to contact debtors who are working in the public and private sector. NSFAS is also working with private companies and associations, e.g. Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (ASISA) and South African Insurance Association (SAIA) to allow for payroll deductions from their employees as well as certain government departments;
  2. NSFAS plans to do soft collections via the contact centre by calling and emailing debtors on a small to medium scale before the debtors are handed over to EDC for collections from the 2018/19 financial year onwards;
  3. NSFAS sends out quarterly statements to enable debtors to make payment arrangements via debit order directly to the Scheme;
  4. NSFAS has embarked on an extensive recoveries communication campaign to create awareness and encourage previous beneficiaries to pay, utilising different mediums of communication throughout the country, i.e. television, radio, print media as well as social media platforms;
  5. NSFAS receives assistance from the National Treasury to secure payroll deductions from government departments. It received secondments from Standard Bank and First National Bank. The First National Bank secondment assists NSFAS with implementation of the recoveries strategy. The Standard Bank secondment assists with all reporting requirements for recoveries, building a data warehouse, dashboard and reporting on the performance statistics of EDC; and
  6. The entity is also getting assistance from SARS on a quarterly basis.

b) The recoveries mandate remains the responsibility of NSFAS. The Department provides oversight and monitoring to ensure that NSFAS fulfils its obligations in this regard.

Profile picture: Malatsi, Mr MS

Malatsi, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Social Development

(a) What is the total amount that was (i) budgeted for and (ii) spent on her private office (aa) in each of the past three financial years and (bb) since 1 April 2017 and (b) what was the (i) remuneration, (ii) salary level, (iii) job title, (iv) qualification and (v) job description of each employee appointed in her private office in each of the specified periods?

Reply:

In terms of Chapter 8 of the Ministerial Handbook, the organisational structure of a Private Office in support of the Executive Authority is determined after consultation with the Minister of Public Service and Administration in terms of Public Service Regulations, 2001 B.2 (a) and B.2A. The Ministerial Handbook provides for the Executive Authority to appoint support staff on the following basis:

1.1.1 On a contract linked to the political term of office of the Executive Authority or Deputy Minister concerned, as well as the contracts envisaged in section 12A (3) of the Public Service Act and conditions laid down by Cabinet; or

1.1.2 as full-time public servants, provided that they utilise the job evaluation system and ensure that there are sufficient funds available on the approved budget of the relevant Department for the creation of post (s).

1.3  The Executing Authority may second personnel from the components within the Department. The advantage of secondment is that staff members could return to their original components on the approved establishment without any burden to the Department.

The breakdown of the Ministry staff, remuneration levels and qualifications are attached as Annexures. The Chief of Staff and the Financial Assistant Officer were seconded to the Ministry from the components within the Department and their salaries are not budgeted from the Ministry’s Compensation of Employees budget. (a) The breakdown for the total amount (i) budgeted for the Compensation of Employees and the (ii) actual expenditure is shown in the table below and includes the Deputy Minister’s office:

Profile picture: Stander, Ms T

Stander, Ms T to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

(a) What is the total number of persons who have been (i) charged, (ii) prosecuted and (iii) convicted in terms of the Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons Act, Act 7 of 2013 in each province and (b) what are the details of the sentences handed down in each successful conviction?

Reply:

(a)(i)(ii)(iii) and (b)

To give effect to South Africa’s obligation to the UN Protocol on Trafficking in Persons, the Prevention and Combating of Trafficking Act 2013 (Act No. 7 of 2013) was passed in July 2013. The Act seeks to fulfil four main objectives, namely to:

  1. Provide for an offence of Trafficking in Persons (TIP) and other offences associated with trafficking in persons;
  2. Prevent and combat TIP within and across the borders of the Republic;
  3. Provide for measures to protect and assist victims of TIP; and
  4. Provide for the establishment of the Inter-sectoral Committee on Prevention and Combating of TIP.

The Prevention and Combatting of Trafficking in Persons Act came into operation in August 2015. Prior to the enactment of Act, trafficking in persons for sexual purposes was criminalised through other pieces of legislation such as the Sexual Offences Act and trafficking in children through the Children’s Act.

For ease of reference and in order to provide a more detailed response, below is a schedule with a summary of cases dealt with under section 4(1) of the Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons Act, 2013 (Act No. 7 of 2013).

         

Prevention and Combatting of Trafficking in Persons Act, 7 of 2013.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation

What (a) plans has her department put in place in respect of the augmentation of existing and the development of new bulk water infrastructure to mitigate the effects of climate change on the provision of bulk water in the Western Cape Province and (b) is the status of the (i) plans and (ii) financing thereof?

Reply:

(a) My Department is working on the implementation of the Berg River-Voelvlei Augmentation Scheme (BRVAS). This project augments the Western Cape Water Supply System that serves the Cape Town Metropolitan and surrounding smaller urban areas as well as irrigators in the area. In addition to the BRVAS project, various surface water schemes (e.g. the Michell’s Pass Diversion, Further Phases of the Vloevlei Dam Augmentation, Upper Wit River Diversion, Molenaars River Diversion and the Raising of the Lower Steenbras Dam) are at various stages of investigation for further augmentation of the system in the medium- to long-term.

(b)(i) Planning work for the BRVAS project has been concluded and environmental authorisation is expected by May 2018, if there are no snags with appeal process. However, considering the severe drought situation prevailing in the region, I have whilst awaiting the approval or finalization of the environmental authorization appointed the Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA) to secure funding and implement the project on a fast-track basis. The TCTA is currently engaging the City of Cape Town and other potential users of the water to finalize off-take agreements.

(b)(ii) The TCTA is currently engaging the National Treasury to obtain approval on a funding mechanism and the required guarantees.

De Freitas, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

(a) What is the total number of cases of (i) child abuse and (ii) child murder that have been recorded in each province and (b) of those cases, how many have led to successful convictions in each province in the past three financial years?

Reply:

a) (i) and (ii) The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has informed me that the NPA only records conviction rates of verdict cases on all murder prosecutions, and a further breakdown according to the types of murder as well as child abuse, is not available. NPA is therefore not able to provide the information in the detail requested.

I have further been informed that the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development`s (DoJ&CD) Integrated Case Management System (ICMS) does not at present, provide for victims details yet, and therefore the Department would not be able to specify if a criminal charge of murder is linked to a victim such as a child. Efforts are however in place to address this gap. Thus far, a data collection tool for the details of all crime victims, including children, has been drafted, and is now being taken through the stakeholder- consultation process.

The Department can therefore unfortunately not respond in respect to data on child murder charges but in the future the Department will be able to report on it from the Integrated Justice System (IJS) transversal system data.

The Honorable member is therefore advised to request this information from the South African Police Service, in terms of criminal matters.

In terms of Children’s Court-matters involving child abuse and neglect, data on matters relating to child abuse, was not collected previously (for the 2014/15 to 2016/17 financial year. With the roll-out of the Integrated Case Management System (ICMS) this year, the Department is able to provide mid-year statistics for 2017/18 as shown below.

Carter, Ms D to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation

What (a) was the rationale behind the directive from her department to Umgeni Water in terms of section 74(1) of the National Water Act, Act 36 of 1998, to establish a desalination plant in the City of Cape Town, (b) were the legislative provisions she relied on when the directive was issued and (c) are the details of the progress with regard to the establishment of the desalination plant since the directive was issued?

Reply:

a) The Minister of Water and Sanitation can use the Department of Water and Sanitation and the Agencies/Entities reporting to her to be deployed in emergency situations such as a drought disaster. In the case of the Drought Disaster in the Western Cape and the City of Cape Town in particular, Umgeni Water has both the capacity and the expertise to execute an emergency desalination project and also to perform the operation and maintenance of the plan. Section 74 (1) of the National Water Act, 1998 (Act No. 36 of 1998) provides distinctively for directive relating to a power which already resides with the institution and a power which the institution does not have at all but same assigned or delegated to it by way of a directive. The directive requires that UW performs both water resource and water services functions. It is in this regard that Section 74(1) of the National Water Act, 1998 was utilized as part of the Department of Water and Sanitation intervention.

b) Considering the nature of the services (scarce resources) to be provided by Umgeni Water to another organ of state, which will fulfil the right to access to sufficient water in terms of section 27 of the Constitution Act 108 of 1997 but also foster cooperative governance as per section 41 of the Constitution. The fact that the performance of duties assigned to Umgeni Water by the Directive are not in the business plan of Umgeni Water cannot be a legal impediment to enforce the Directive. In fact the purpose of the Directive is to assign or delegate those powers that are not in the business plan or allowable in terms of section 30(1) of the Water Services Act, 1997 (Act No. 108 of 1997) to Umgeni Water.

c) Yes. Following meetings between the Mayor of the City of Cape Town (CoCT) and Minister and the request by the Mayor for assistance, Minister issued a directive to UW on 11 December 2017 to procure a 10MLD plant as an emergency intervention for CoCT for siting in the harbour.

  • Umgeni Water has concluded their procurement process and has identified a preferred service provider.
  • The City of Cape Town have however recently requested that Minister delay the implementation of the desalination option so that they can assess the ground water availability once drilling has been completed, and also to find an alternate site for the plant.
  • A number of meetings have been held during the past 10 days to deal with the following issues:
    • Finalisation of the site for the establishment of the plant;
    • Electrical supply;
    • Connector infrastructure (sea intake, brine discharge and connection to the CoCT water supply system);
    • Regulatory requirements; and
    • Off-take agreement.

Response from the National Prosecuting Authority:

1. The NPA had a contract with Travel with Flair (TWF) during the period May 2009 to November 2011. In this regard,

(i) The NPA procured travel management services (air flights, accommodation, car rental and shuttle services)

(ii) The total amount paid to TWF during the contract period was R 78 375 960.52, detailed as follows:

R 34 915 174,72 – 2009/10 financial year;

R 27 517 371.09 – 2010/11 financial year;

R 15 943 414,71 – 2011/12 financial year

2. The Service Level Agreement entered into with TWF included services related to international travel.

 (i) The total amounts paid to TWF during the contract period for international travel on behalf of NPA officials amounts to R 5 323 373.65, detailed as follows:

R 2 577 591,87 – 2009/10 financial year;

R 1 499 002.88 – 2010/11 financial year;

R 1 246 778.90 – 2011/12 financial year

I have been informed by the National Prosecuting Authority that due to the fact that the contract expired more than five (5) years ago, the level of detailed breakdown required in the question would require an extended effort and time to find in the archived records.

Response from the Office of the Chief Justice

The Office of the Chief Justice did not procure any services from Travel With Flair (Pty) Ltd, therefore, the above questions are not applicable in this regard.

Profile picture: Wilson, Ms ER

Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Social Development

With reference to her reply to question 2019 on 9 October 2017, in which (i) municipality, (ii) region and (iii) ward in KwaZulu-Natal did the 11 events that cost R39 015 000,00 take place, (b) what is the total cost of each event and (c) on what date did each event take place?

Reply:

Mikondzo is a nation-wide programme that focuses on enhancing the Social Development footprint, with specific focus on informal settlements and rural areas in South Africa and providing services on the doorstep of communities. The outreach programmes were held in various districts and wards throughout the country which form part of the 1 300 poor wards that experience undue hardships in a form of drought or other natural disasters. The outreach programmes were spread throughout the financial year.

Profile picture: Esau, Mr S

Esau, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans

With reference to the businesses owned by 132 military veterans that registered with her department in the 2016-17 financial year, what is the (a) military formation that each military veteran who owns these businesses is part of, (b) nature of each such business and (c) the location of each business, including the (i) town and (ii) province?

Reply:

a) During the year of reporting the details for each of the formations was not captured as a key requirement. This detail has now started to be collected and will be availed in future reporting cycles as required.

b) The nature of businesses registered on the business register is varied. The attached list of companies on the Skills Development and Empowerment Business Support Unit Register shows what the nature of each of the businesses is.

c) The submitted reports have captured the Province of each business location but has not yet lifted the actual town in the province. It is important to show that most business submissions in the year of reporting have been from Gauteng province. This has arisen out of the proximity of the National office to access for military veterans in Gauteng. Going forward, the data set for collection will be expanded to give the details for the towns of business locations. Further, with the presence of provincial coordinators in provinces, it is envisaged that details for military veterans businesses in provinces other than Gauteng will also be submitted.

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Transport

Whether the SA National Roads Agency has enough funds to finance the N2 Wild Coast toll road; if not, why has the work began; if so, (a) what is the total amount of funds that is available and (b) what are the relevant details of the sources of the specified funding?

Reply:

SANRAL already has a full allocation for the construction of the Mtentu and Msikaba mega-bridges, which are currently under construction and on tender respectively. SANRAL has also allocated sufficient funds for the construction of access roads, referred to as haul roads, to provide access to the bridge sites. SANRAL has over the past few years improved the brownfields section of the N2 between uMthatha and Port St Johns through its budget allocations. In addition, SANRAL has also allocated funds for community development projects that are intended to benefit communities along the N2 route alignment in the Wild Coast area.

Finally, as of 2017/18 Government has allocated funding for the construction of the greenfields section of the N2 from Port St Johns to Port Edward (see table below). This demonstrates Government’s commitment to the successful delivery of this important project in the Eastern Cape. The Minister of Transport will soon table the proposed toll model for the operations and maintenance of the N2 Wild Coast to Cabinet.

What (a) are the actions, inactions and conduct of the SA Social Security Agency (SASSA) that formed the basis of the request by the Chief Executive Officer of the SA Post Office for the intervention of the Director-General (DG) of the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) into the process for the implementation of the payments of grants and (b) action has been taken to encourage SASSA’s cooperation?

Reply:

I have been informed by SA Post Office as follows:

a) There were some disagreements on the implementation of the Services Agreement that was signed on 08 December 2017. SAPO required sign-offs in line with the agreed Service Agreement timelines but they were being delayed by SASSA. This was flagged on numerous occasions but still there were no formal sign-offs provided. Only verbal commitments were made which somewhat compromised the governance protocol. In addition, SAPO learnt of the appointment of the work streams to provide technical advice to SASSA. The introduction of this team posed a risk in that the already agreed but not yet signed-off specifications could be changed and therefore delays the implementation process. It was on this basis that SAPO requested the intervention of the DPME DG raising early warning signals about the potential delays that are caused by factors outside of SAPO’s control.

b) The DG of the DPME mediated on the matter between both CEOs supported by the DG of the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services (DTPS) and contingencies were initiated by SAPO and agreed with SASSA to mitigate any possible delays. In addition, ongoing communications and regular meetings are held through steering committees and focus Area groups. SAPO has since assured that all issues that were outstanding have been adequately mitigated upon and the project is now on track.

Carter, Ms D to ask the Minister of Transport

In view of the proposed 71,43% increase of the vehicle licensing transaction fee determined in terms of the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act, Act 20 of 1999, read with its Regulations, (a) what has he found to be the rationale for the unacceptable increase and (b) is he prepared to review this determination in light of the public outcry and representations that have been directed to him?

Reply:

a) The transaction fees were introduced in 2007 by the Minister of Finance concurring with a proposal by the Minister of Transport. The Minister of Finance approved and or indicated a fee structure that provided for a 5-year period ending March 2012 which was to be implemented as follows:

  • for the years 2007/08 the transaction fee would have been R30.00,
  • for the years 2008/09 -2009/10 R36.00; and
  • for the financial years 2010/11 – 2011/12 R42.00.

In 2009, the fee amount, as per the provisions of Section 48 of the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act, 1999 (Act No: 20 of 1999) (the “Act”) read with the Regulations was increased to a fee of R36.00 and brought into effect by publication by the First Amendment of the Regulations in the Government Gazette No. R. 930 on 23 September 2009. The significance of the regulation amendment, was that the Regulations was amended to provide that the Minister of Transport, may henceforth, increase the Transaction Fee amount annually by Notice in the Government Gazette.

Due to various operational and administrative reasons, the transaction fees were not increased in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. In February 2016 the fee amount was increased by R6 to R42, the same amount it should have been in 2010.

Therefore, over a period the Transactions Fees have not been optimally increased to keep abreast with the ever-rising costs associated with operations and personnel. The R30 increase in 2018, which brings the fees R72, is thus mainly informed by the already approved R6 per annum increase and in fact is less than what it would have been if the increase of R6 per annum was diligently implemented. If the increases had been diligently implemented annually, the fees would have been R96 in 2018

(b) There were no public representation received.

1. (a) In the past five years, the Department of Social Development procured goods and services, which were processed in thousands of transactions. The goods and services are classified according to Standard Chart of Account based on their nature as well their type and the expenditure for goods and services is disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements and Annual report tabled in Parliament every year.

Goods and services are procured using the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and Regulations. The Regulations prescribe the preference points that can be claimed in accordance with the BEE status level of the supplier.

With effect from 1 April 2016, National Treasury implemented an online central supplier database (CSD) where all suppliers and service providers registered and captured their details including their BBBEE status level etc. It has made it compulsory for government entities to use only suppliers registered on this database. The CSD maintains data on expenditure categories and supplier information. All suppliers’ details can be found on National Treasury supplier database (CSD).

2. (a) The goods and services referred to office accommodation, security, cleaning services, stationery, furniture and office equipment, professional services, catering and promotional material etc.

(b) The amount paid to suppliers and service provider depend on the size, nature and type of goods and services procured.

3. (a) The Department of Social Development, has been sourcing goods and services in terms of PPPFA Act No 5 of 2000. The Act provides the Preferential scoring model where all suppliers and services providers who submit their bid proposals were scored and evaluated against the said prescripts, and the award is made to the bidder who scores high preferential points for BBBEE and price.

(b) The Department of Social Development procured goods and services in line with the requirements of PPPFA Act where the BBBEE status of every bidder is considered in the preferential scoring model and as such suppliers were awarded accordingly.

(c) The amounts paid to suppliers and service providers depend on the size, nature and type of goods and services procured.

The goods and services are classified according to Standard Chart of Account based on their nature and type. Such expenditure is disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements and Annual report tabled in Parliament every year. Before April 2016, the Agency utilised Historically Disadvantages Individual (HDI) which was the procurement requirements at the time in the application and compliance to PPPFA and BEE. From 01 April 2016, National Treasury established an online central supplier database (CSD) where all suppliers and service providers registered and captured their details including their BBBEE status level etc. SASSA sourced goods and services from suppliers and service providers registered on CSD. All suppliers’ details can be found on National Treasury supplier database (CSD).

2. (a) The goods and services referred in the above paragraph amongst others would be office accommodation, security, cleaning services, stationery, furniture and office equipment, professional services, etc.

(b) The amount paid to suppliers and service provider vary depending on the size, nature and type of goods and services procured.

3. (a) SASSA, like any other government institutions, has been sourcing goods and services in terms of PPPFA Act No 5 of 2000.

The Regulations prescribe the preference points that can be claimed in accordance with the BEE status level of the supplier. This approach is a scorecard approach rather than purely an ownership approach.

(b) All the goods and services procured by the Agency are procured in line with the requirements of PPPFA Act where the BBBEE status of every bidder is considered in the preferential scoring model and as such suppliers were awarded accordingly. The contracts range from cleaning, security etc.

Cassim, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Police

What is the total cost related to the relocation of (a) staff members and (b)(i) samples and (ii) equipment from the Forensic Science Laboratory in Amanzimtoti to laboratories in other provinces due to flood damage?

Reply:

a) The Forensic Science Laboratory, in Amanzimtoti, which hosts the Biology and Chemistry Sections, was flooded on 10 October 2017. This resulted in damage to the property and the evacuation of staff. A total of 89 staff members have been affected and need to be relocated to other laboratories in the country. The cost relating to this incident, will depend on the actual cost and time taken to repair and refurbish the damaged laboratory, including the relocation costs to temporary facilities and the relocation of the services and staff members.

It is estimated that the monthly cost will be R1 428 000,00, if 50 analysts, excluding support members, are temporarily relocated to other forensic laboratories outside the province.

b) A total of 2 173 cases, with samples, will also have to be relocated for analysis at other laboratories, in other provinces. The estimated transport costs are R2 000,00.

c) No equipment will be relocated whilst the repair and refurbishment is done. There will be no cost incurred, in this regard.

Groenewald, Mr HB to ask the Minister of Police

(a) What are the names of the stations that have been excluded from the proposed Firearm Amnesty, (b) in which provinces are the specified stations and (c) why were the stations excluded?

Reply:

(a) The following three police stations are excluded from the proposed firearms amnesty.

  • Isipingo.
  • Bellville South.
  • Kanyamazane.

(b) These police stations are situated in the following provinces respectively:

  • Isipingo KwaZulu-Natal.
  • Bellville South Western Cape.
  • Kanyamazane Mpumalanga.

(c) These police stations have been selected, based on the following reasons:

Firstly, the following number of firearms have been reported lost/stolen from the Exhibit Management Stores (SAPS 13 Stores) of the respective police stations, during the period 1 April 2016 to 31 October 2017:

Isipingo Police Station - 31firearms.

Bellville South Police Station - 18 firearms.

Kanyamazane Police Station - three firearms.

The reported losses/theft of firearms from the SAPS 13 Stores at these police stations have been tabled as a high risk.

Secondly, the criminal investigations pertaining to the losses/theft of firearms at these SAPS 13 Stores, are still pending and the conclusion thereof needs to be examined, in order to implement preventative measures.

Thirdly, it is in the interest of the firearms amnesty that there must not be any doubt with persons, who wish to participate in the surrendering of firearms during the amnesty period, that such firearms will not be safely kept in the SAPS 13 Stores at police stations.

Fourthly, allowing firearms to be surrendered at the above identified three police stations, may negatively influence the firearms amnesty, which may have a detrimental effect on the success of the amnesty.

It is still the ultimate view and wish of the South African Police Service that the above three police stations must not be excluded from the firearms amnesty but that additional safety measures be implemented at these police stations by the respective provincial commissioners and that an extreme tightened monitoring and auditing system be adopted at these police stations such as daily inspections from the office of the Cluster Commander.
