c) The pricing principles for flat steel produced by Arcelor Mittal South Africa (AMSA) is based on a signed agreement between AMSA and government. The agreement is based on an international basket price, on Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) as a base product, calculated using the domestic prices of steel in countries South Africa competes with in downstream steel intensive products. The price changes are influenced by movements in global prices, the exchange rate and global input costs. This basket is monitored by the the dti and ITAC and compliance with the basket is measured over 12 months.

Reply:

1. (a) The CAV has concluded bulk services agreements and related contributions with the City of Tshwane in line with the municipality requirements. The external electricity works has been constructed and commissioned to receive Township Establishment approval by the City of Tshwane. The balance of the bulk infrastructure is underway.

(b) Two (2) tenants are participating in the CAV.

(c) The contracts were signed on the 30th October 2017 and 19th September 2017.

2. (a) The CAV has 16 employees of which 3 are interns.

(b) In 2017-18 the CAV had (i)12 full time employees and (ii) 4 part-time employees.

3. (a) (b) The forensic audit report recommended that a criminal case be instituted against individuals and companies that were allegedly involved in fraudulent activities. In line with this recommendation, the dti instituted criminal charges and case was reported to the South African Police Services and the case number is CAS 647-12-2013.

(4) (a) The CAV was given “Special Project Status” by City of Tshwane (CoT) and the City Mayor has been a champion of the CAV development and personally pledged CoT support. This has already led to assistance in expediting approvals for CAV’s compliance with the approved Conditions of Township Establishment.

(b) The CoT has not provided any financial support at this stage as it does not currently have financial resources to assist the construction of the CAV.

Singh, Mr N to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry

Whether he has met with the Minister of Health and the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to further discuss the socio-economic benefits of the commercialisation of hemp farming in the country; if not, on what date will this discussion take place; if so, what are the further relevant details?

Source

Reply:

No, I have not met with either the Minister of Health or the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to discuss the commercialisation of hemp.

However, the dti recognises the potential value to be derived from commercial value chains of Cannabis and related products. Thus it has undertaken research that seeks to understand, from an industrial policy perspective, the obstacles and opportunities for South Africa to become an active and innovative player in this growing market.

For the purposes of this research, opportunities and obstacles to develop industrial capacity and capability across the medicinal and related products will be considered. The focus will be to understand the obstacles and opportunities involved in: i) the cultivation of different strains of cannabis with specific THC and CBD composition; ii) the recovery of these compounds in the oil extraction process and iii) the beneficiation of THC and CBD through the production of medical products (using multiple delivery systems e.g. vapes, sprays, tablets, oils) as well as cosmetic and healthcare products such as balms, creams and tinctures.

The outcomes of this study will determine a way forward in terms of industrialising this sector in South Africa. Once the study has been concluded, I will engage the Ministers of Health and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

The question is very complex and involved and could not be reasonably fully answered in the time available. We threw in a large number of finance officials, taking them out of their substantive work, to collate and analyse the data. At the time of the deadline, we had only reached and analysed about 60% of the relevant data. The response below is therefore based on about 60% of the data that could be accessed within the limited time at our disposal, while we will be proceeding with 40% analysis of the remaining data.

The National Department has developed and provided the ability of all Provinces and Municipalities to allow for residents to register onto the National Housing Needs Register (NHNR). The introduction of the NHNR was to provide support and assistance to Provinces and Municipalities in order to ensure that there is compliance with the principle of just and fair administrative action by the state in its process of allocation of funding and subsidies, as read with Section 26 of the Constitution. The Western Cape Provincial Department of Human Settlements does not utilise the NHNR. The information related to the Western Cape is imported in the NHNR on a quarterly basis, from a Provincial specific system.

The total number of households per municipality is presented as follows:
The information on the housing subsidy system (HSS) indicates the total number of households on the NHNR that have completed subsidy applications forms and these subsidy applications forms were captured on HSS against the relevant project.

The information on NHNR indicates the total number of households that have registered their need for adequate shelter. These households have not completed subsidy applications for allocation into a project.

(a) Why are mothers of newborn babies allegedly sleeping on bloodstained mattresses on the floor in overcrowded wards at Bophelong Hospital in the North West and (b) what steps will he take in this regard?

Source
Link

Reply:

a) Since the closure of the theatre in Lehurutshe Hospital due to upgrading, all caesarean sections are referred to the hospital previously known to be Bophelong Hospital (currently known as Mafikeng Provincial Hospital). The Hospital has since experienced patient overflow. The Hospital was initially called Bophelong Hospital as it was in the same grounds with a mental health hospital named as such, which was now moved to a new location. The remaining facility is now renamed Mahikeng.

Further, due to insufficient supply of linen savers as a result of insufficient budget, some mattresses were blood-stained during deliveries, however the institution has motivated for increase of supply to the section as the demand dictates.

b) The following measures have been put in place:

(i) Exension of the maternity ward into the obstetrics theatre to increase space to accommodate more patients;

(ii) Allocation of additional beds to replace floor beds;

(iii) Close monitoring of the project in Lehurutshe Hospital to accelerate completion of theatre.

Van Der Walt, Ms D to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs

(1) (a) What amount does each specified municipality (Ba-Phalaborwa LM, Giyani LM, Greater Letaba LM, Maruleng LM and Grater Tzaneen LM) owe to the Mopani District Municipality in Limpopo to date, (b) for what period has each debt been outstanding, (c) what are the reasons for non-payment and (d) what steps has the specified district municipality taken to collect the debt; (2) Will he and/or his department intervene; if not, why not; if so, (a) by what date and (b) how?

Source

Reply:

The information was provided by the Mopani District Municipality

1. (a) The Mopani District Municipality has entered into agreements with its local municipalities (Ba-Phalaborwa LM, Greater Giyani LM, Greater Letaba LM, Greater Tzaneen LM and Maruleng LM) through which its locals are appointed to become water service providers on behalf of the district. As part of the agreement, it is the requirement that each local municipality provides the district on monthly basis, with a report outlining the revenue collected against the billing, expenditure and age analysis of the creditors and debtors for water. In terms of the signed agreements, it is mandatory of the locals to pay back the profit to the district if profits have been accumulated on the provision of water on behalf of the district, and if the locals have operated the water business at a loss, it becomes the responsibility of the district to repay the local municipality for the losses incurred. It is against the above context that only Ba- Phalaborwa owes Mopani district, as it is the only local municipality within the district that has operated the water provision business on profit, which resulted to a recorded debt R180 million.

Subsequently, the Mopani District Municipality has an outstanding debt to its four (4) locals within the district that are operating the water function at a loss and the breakdown is as follows:

Greater Tzaneen LM R179,6 million
Greater Letaba LM R55 million
Greater Giyani R27,6 million
Maruleng LM R23,4 million

b) The reported figures on outstanding debt are as at June 2017 and are reflected on the audited Annual Financial Statements of 2016/17 financial year. According to the municipality, the current and latest available debt amounts that are reported on the MFMA Section 71 reports are mostly disputed, incorrect, and unreliable and regarded as not a true reflection of the arrear debt.

c) The debt owed by and to the Mopani District Municipality is as a result of the following:

The local municipalities are having an agreement to provide or operate the provision of water and sanitation on behalf of the district. It is a requirement that in terms of the signed agreement between the district and its locals, the revenue collected and generated be transferred to the district. However, in most instances, the clause is not implemented.
The four local municipalities owed by the district are operating the water and sanitation services at a loss as the revenue they generated is less than the expenses they incurred, and as a result the district is expected to reimburse its locals.

The Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality has been operating the electricity function at a profit and the profit generated is expected to be surrendered to the district municipality on annual basis. However, this local municipality failed to surrender the profit, which has resulted on the outstanding debt.

d) Ba-Phalaborwa LM has signed and is honouring a payment agreement of R1. 7 million with the district municipality. The district uses the payment from the local municipality to repay its debt owed to the Water Board. The district is facilitating a process to write-off some of the outstanding debt of its local municipalities.

In terms of the project closeout report, it was identified that the root causes of non- payment of debt are as a result of the various shortfalls in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the district and its locals and the lack of implementation thereof. The district municipality is in the process of amending the SLA to improve the identified gaps.

2. The department has supported the Mopani District Municipality with a Simplified Revenue Plan in the 2016/17 to 2017/18 financial years. The simplified revenue plan’s objectives are to improve revenue management, reduce municipal consumer debt and protect municipal revenue. The department has also assisted the district municipality to determine cost reflective tariffs and recommended to the Mopani District Municipality not to charge the same tariff in all its five local municipalities, but to rather have tariffs that are determined in accordance with the circumstances of the different Water Service Providers (WSP).

The primary responsibility for water services provision rests with local government. In terms of Section 84 of the Municipal Structures Act, the responsibility for providing water services rests with the district and metropolitan municipalities. However, the Act allows the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs to authorise a local municipality to perform these functions or exercise these powers. The district (or authorised local) municipality is the water services authority as defined in the Water Services Act.

There can only be one water services authority in any specific area (that is, water services authority areas cannot overlap). The main duty of water services providers is to provide water services in accordance with the Constitution, the Water Services Act and the by-laws of the water services authority, and in terms of any specific conditions set by the water services authority in a contract.

Mopani District Municipality has entered into an agreement with Local Municipalities through which it appointed the Local Municipalities to become water services providers on its behalf. As part of the agreement, the Local Municipalities are to provide for the rendering of water services in an efficient, equitable, cost effective and sustainable manner. The WSP was obligated in terms of the agreement to submit on a monthly basis not later than the 10th of every month, a report outlining the revenue collected against the billing, expenditure per line item and the age analysis of the creditors and debtors for water.

Adherence to WSP Agreement

The local municipalities do not adhere to the WSP agreement, as a result, credibility of the financial reports from local municipalities is questionable. The cash collection reports as well as the expenditure allocated to water and sanitation activities lack credibility, which in the end, the amounts claimed by both the district and the local municipalities are mostly disputed.

Disputes by local municipalities on non-payment as per the signed WSP agreement

The local municipalities are indicating that Income and Expenditure for the water and sanitation services are running at a loss. The SLA requires the WSA to open a separate bank account for the water and sanitation services and the WSP must bank all cash received daily into this account and currently not happening and negatively affect the cash flow of the District Municipalities.

Mazzone, Ms NW to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises:

With reference to the R13,16 billion raised recently by Eskom to reduce its funding gap, (a) what amount did Eskom borrow from each local institution and (b) at what rate was each amount borrowed?

Source
Link

Reply:

Response according to the information received from Eskom

As at the end of April 2018 Eskom had secured approx. R13.6bn of the approved R72bn funding for 2018/19 financial year.

(a)

The names of the various lenders that provide funding are confidential as per the relevant facility/loan confidentiality clauses.

Eskom can however provide a high level breakdown of the R13.6bn funding as follows

R9.8bn is from agreements with Development Financing Institutions; and
R3.8bn raised through various domestic instruments issued to several different investors and financial intermediaries, under the Eskom Domestic Medium Term Note Programme.

(b)

The rates (cost of funding) were market related (refer to the yields quoted on the JSE for Eskom bonds) and comparative with Eskom’s overall cost of funding.

Reply:

(a) No.

(b) There are significant human risks.

(i) There are significant human risks are that the illegal miners can get injured or killed from the blast, inhale noxious gases from the explosion which can lead to death; can cause underground fires. Some of the stolen explosives are sometimes also used in blasting Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs).

(ii) The Department is working together with the all law agencies including the Hawks to arrest and recommend for prosecutions of illegal miners and the syndicate leaders. There is also Gauteng Illegal Mining Stakeholder Forum which consists of SAPS, Crime Intelligence, State Security agency; Mining Companies; Organised Labour. The Mine Health and Safety Council is developing a new standard for sealing of shafts that will minimise the risk of being re-opened by illegal miners and less susceptible to environmental factors.

(i) Five legal matters have been dealt with by the RSR.

(ii) The details of the matters are as follow:

BMW vs RSR, 2015

The matter was a review application against the decision of the Board and RSR on the reduction of the permit validity period of the operators and lack of consultations with operators. The RSR defended the matter at the High Court and it was concluded in April 2017, with the order in favour of the RSR.

Sefora Kutumela vs RSR and Others, 2015

Review application by the applicant against an award of the CCMA confirming dismissal of the applicant by the RSR. Matter was lodged at the Labour Court. The matter appears to have been abandoned by the employee as it was never set down for review after the last court sitting in November 2015.

Gumede and others vs RSR, 2015

Litigation was initiated by the plaintiffs in a claim against the RSR for failure to vacate the premises rented in Bruma on time and effecting necessary reperations. The matter was settled out of court in April 2016.

Intengu Communications vs RSR, 2016

The complainant filed an arbitration complaint against the RSR claiming an amount of R505,030-27 for services rendered for the Women in Rail Conference which Intengu alleges they have performed. The RSR defended the matter at the arbitration proceedings and the complainant subsequently withdrew the dispute and the matter was settled between the parties in April 2018.

Transnet SOC Ltd vs RSR, 2016

Transnet lodged an urgent application against RSR following an unsuccessful permit application. The matter proceeded in court and the application by Transnet was dismissed.

The RSR has not launched any legal matters against any party.

All matters have been concluded. There is currently no active litigation against the RSR.

Jafta, Mr SM to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources

With reference to section 54 of the Mine Health and Safety Act, Act 29 of 1996, to what extent has he engaged all role-players in the mining sector concerning the perceived (a) opaque reasons often furnished by his department to close mines that seemingly have an adverse effect on the health and safety of employees and (b) attitude of employers with regard to work stoppages?

Reply:

a) The Minister has previously engaged with stakeholders in the Mining Industry Growth Development Employment Task Team (MIGDETT) on section 54. There were also further engagement in the Mine Health and Safety Council. These structures consists of organised labour (NUM, AMCU, UASA, and Solidarity) employers (Minerals council of South Africa, South African Mining Development Agency). Mining companies either individually or collectively also meet with the Minister on section 54 enforcement.

b) There are general 3 types of response from the mining companies:

Some mining companies accept the section 54 as being positive and adding value to management oversight to non-compliance to the Mine Health and Safety Act.
Second group thinks that a different enforcement measure should have applied like section 55 instead of section 54. This group will accept the section 54 instruction with reservations.
The last group is very antagonistic and challenges the decisions of the Inspector in the Labour Court for the section 54 to be varied or set aside. There are companies that have even sued the Department for loss of production after they were issued with a section 54 instruction.

The response is based on information received from Alexkor SOC Ltd.

(1)	The company, namely Scarlet Sky Investments 60 CC (SSI) itself, had no track record, until, Mr Daniel Nathan, with twenty years’ experience within the diamond industry, was appointed as a Director of SSI in November 2014.
(2)	(a)	Beneficiation is currently taking place at the offices of Scarlet Skye Investments (SSI) based in Houghton, Johannesburg, Gauteng. SSI currently employs learners from the Richtersveld Community. Beneficiation has been taking place since 2015.

	(b)	Beneficiation contributes an additional 9% (NINE PERCENT) income to the Pooling and Sharing Joint Venture (PSJV) to income after the tender process.
(3)	(a)	The Alexkor PSJV followed its Supply Chain Management policy. The process included:
		(i)	the “Request for Proposal” (RFP 03/14) was advertised in the Government Tender Bulletin dated 31 October 2014 as well as the Business Day on 25 October 2014;
		(ii)	7 (SEVEN) Companies expressed their interest in RFP 03/2014 and submitted proposals
		(iii)	Gamiro Advisory Services were appointed by the Alexkor PSJV Board to evaluate the proposals received;
		(iv)	The top 3 companies, according to the evaluation scores, were invited to present to the Alexkor PSJV Board Tender Committee; and
		(v)	Following the presentation and assessment of the SSI bid proposal, the Alexkor PSJV Board was satisfied with the prices and proposals submitted by SSI. The Alexkor PSJV Board appointed SSI with effect from 01 March 2018.

	(b)	The independent valuator process was stopped after some of the contractors’ complained about beneficiation and it was decided that the diamonds selected for beneficiation process will be paid based on the tender price of the goods.
	(c)	The decision was taken by the Management of the Alexkor RMC PSJV
	(d)	It did not have any impact on the diamond sales as the diamonds are sold to the highest bidder and not on the reserved price.
	(e)	There are about between sixty and eighty companies attending the diamond tenders. It is not always the same companies attending the tenders; this varies from sale to sale. Since inception approximately 200 license holding companies participated in the tenders. These tenders take place at the offices of SSI in Johannesburg,
	(f)	The diamonds are not sold to one specific company but to various participating license holding companies that has the highest bid on any specific range or category of diamonds on tender. Since 2015 approximately 200 companies participated in the tenders. The sales are very competitive and there is at least 15 to 20 winning companies at every sale. (This number depends on how many carats are on sale).

(4)	In terms of the South African Diamonds and Precious Metals Regulator (SADPMR) prescripts, a license is issued to an individual “Diamond Dealer” or to a company “Diamond Trading House”. In this instance, Mr Daniel Nathan is the holder of the required Diamond Dealer license.

Minister: The Department has initiated a forensic investigation into these matters.

According to the information received from Eskom

The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has a National Climate Response White Policy Paper in place and has currently released the Climate Change Bill for public consultation.

To ensure full alignment with the National Climate Change Response White Paper, Eskom has a climate change policy and a strategy in place in line with overall government policy. Eskom Climate Change Strategy provides an overview of Eskom’s initiatives in terms of the following:

1. Adaptation to the adverse impacts of climate change;

2. Green and climate finance opportunities;

3. Innovation through research and development;

4. Diversification of the energy mix to lower carbon technologies;

5. Energy efficiency;

6. Advocacy and Partnerships at national and international levels on climate change response.

Lastly, the most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emission from the electricity sector is to diversify the electricity supply. To date, all low carbon supply options determined through the IRP process have been allocated to Independent Power Producers by the Department of Energy.

Given that coal-fired generation has a negative impact on greenhouse gas (viz. carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane) emissions, any addition of coal generation plant will negatively impact on climate change.

South Africa’s commitment to reduce these emissions was taken into account in the 2010 IRP by way of a cap on carbon emissions. It is expected that the new iteration of the IRP is cognisant of South Africa’s commitment to the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Eskom has a plan in place to manage local air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide. This however is not a greenhouse gas and technologies such as the FGD technology only removes sulphur dioxide emissions. In the absence of end-of-pipe technology, there are little opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint of existing coal-fired power stations.

Currently, the most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector is to diversify the electricity supply away from coal towards lower-carbon technologies (nuclear, hydro, renewables and gas). Unfortunately, to date, all lower-carbon supply options determined through the IRP Planning process have been allocated to Independent Power Producers and not to Eskom.

In the absence of a low-carbon supply allocation, Eskom has proceeded with delivering demand management savings, the New Build programme (Medupi and Kusile power stations employ supercritical designs) as well as Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme.

Further initiatives include the roll out of photovoltaic (PV) plants to supplement generation at existing coal-fired power station sites, the construction and operation of Sere (100 MW windfarm) and many research initiatives, from an operating rural microgrid and smartgrid applications to wave energy to electric vehicle testing.

Eskom Transmission has also enabled the connection of over 3 000 MW renewable energy projects to the national grid.

In this respect, Eskom is well-prepared to manage the transition away from carbon intensive electricity production and participates extensively in Department of Environmental Affairs processes to report and limit future greenhouse gas emissions.

Further, Eskom has undertaken detailed studies with the CSIR on climate impact modelling in Southern Africa. This work will inform plans on how to prepare Eskom’s infrastructure and people for impending climate change and extreme weather events. The country’s (and by inference Eskom’s) vulnerability to climate change is cause for concern and we want to ensure we deal with this proactively.

It is critical that there is a “just transition” from carbon intensive electricity production. The transition should be able to address the pressing socio-economic challenges of poverty and inequality. The workers and communities, especially those in the sectors and areas that will be most affected, such as coal plants, coal mines and coal transportation will need alternatives to secure their well-being. Options such as re-skilling for new jobs and community based programmes are vital to ensure that those most vulnerable to the development are protected
