The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) is an agency of the Department of Human Settlements which is responsible for the protection of housing consumers and to regulate the home building industry.

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

Reply:
The information requested by the Honourable Member is not readily available in the Department. The Department has however, engaged the Provincial Departments responsible for Local Government to request the relevant information from municipality.

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

Reply:
(1) (a) & (b) Yes
The Honourable Member did not specify the period for which the information is required.
(2) Furthermore, 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 persons as requested in the question. 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)”
15 December 2017 - NW3873

(a)(ii) The requested information is part of the statistical information, which must be published by the Minister of Police.
(b)(i)(ii)(iii) The number of firearms, as mentioned in paragraph (a) supra, were recovered by the South African Police Service (SAPS).

Taking the above into consideration, this office cannot provide reliable figures, regarding part (b) of this question.

America, Mr D to ask the Minister of Police
(1)What are the names of the Brigadier-Generals in the SA Police Service who failed to attain security clearance; (2) will they be dismissed from their position; if not, why not; if so, on what date?
Reply:
(1) and (2) There are two Major-Generals whose files were closed in 2016, without issuing the clearance certificates. Their files were closed because they had not submitted all the required documentation.
These Major-Generals are now required to re-apply, in terms of the new directive by the National Commissioner. The directive instructs all Generals and Brigadiers to submit their applications before the end of December 2017. Their names cannot yet be disclosed, considering that, together with all members of senior management, they have been afforded the opportunity to re-apply within the stipulated time frames.
In the interim, members of the Senior Management Service (SMS), are being dealt with in terms of Section 70 and 71 of the South African Police Service Act, which require them to take an oath of secrecy.
Furthermore, consistent with the requirements of the Minimum Information Security Standards (MISS) policy, the respective supervisors must, at the end of every financial year, furnish a certificate regarding the security conduct of persons who do not yet possess security clearance certificates.
The MISS policy states, amongst others, that “the screening authority will merely make a recommendation regarding the security competence of the person concerned, to the head of the requesting institution, and this should in no way be seen as a final testimonial, as far as the utilisation of the person is concerned”. The relevant legislation and the MISS do not provide for the dismissal of persons who fail to obtain security clearance certificates.
Taking the above into account, it is clear that each case will have to be considered on its own merit.

Ryder, Mr D to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
(1)What is the current status of the construction of the Rietspruit Outfall Sewer Pipeline in Midvaal and Emfuleni which is currently threatening the construction of houses in Savanna City; (2) has a contractor been appointed; if not, (a) why not and (b) by what date will a contractor be appointed; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) what is the planned completion date of the project?
Reply:
(1) Rietspruit Outfall Sewer Pipeline project has recently been incorporated into the Sedibeng Regional Sewer Scheme (SRSS) based on the recommendation of the SRSS Technical Feasibility Study review. Risimati Consulting Engineers Pty (Ltd) were appointed by Emfuleni Municipality before the project was incorporated into the SRSS and to date, about 50% of the detail design of the sewer pipeline has been completed. Since the project is now part of the SRSS and Rand Water is the Implementing Agent for SRSS, the Risimati contract is to be ceded to Rand Water. Currently the due diligence exercise is underway at Rand Water, and it is about 90% complete.
(2) No, the contractor has not yet been appointed. Once the Rasimati Consulting Engineers have completed the detail design of the sewer outfall pipeline, then a competent contractor to do the construction work will be appointed following Rand Water’s procurement process.
(3) Subject to availability of funds, the Rietspruit Outfall Sewer pipeline project will commence in the next financial year, and will run for a period of 3 years.

Bergman, Mr D to ask the Minister of Police
What (a) number of extra staff are being (i) trained and (ii) deployed to testing laboratories to conduct the Integrated Ballistics Identification System testing on the firearms which may be handed in during the proposed Firearm Amnesty next year in each province and (b) is the (i) name and (ii) location of each specified testing laboratory to which such staff is deployed?
Reply:
(a)(i)(ii)(b)(i)(ii) The current capacity of human resources, available at the Ballistic Section, IBIS Subsection, is sufficient to cope with the anticipated work, which is resulting from a possible Firearm Amnesty. Therefore, no extra staff will need to be trained and deployed to process the firearms, which may be handed in during the proposed Firearm Amnesty, next year. The existing four Forensic Science Laboratories, will be able to process the additional work load.
