Bara, Mr M R to ask the Minister of Police
In view of the recent closure of the laboratory in KwaZulu-Natal due to flooding for the fourth time, what arrangements has he made regarding the transportation of all the firearms to be handed in during the proposed Firearm Amnesty period in 2018 to alternative laboratories in the country?
Reply:
The flooding occured in the Chemistry and Biology Sections, in the KwaZulu-Natal Forensic Science Laboratory and did not affect the Ballistic Section, which is a separate facility. Therefore, no impact was experienced, due to the flooding of the Ballistic Section (including the Integrated Ballistic Identification System). The Ballistic Section will, therefore, be able to receive and process all test specimens or firearms during the proposed Firearm Amnesty.

Vos, Mr J to ask the Minister of Tourism
Whether there is a reliable water supply to the Royal Khalanga Accommodation Lodge in Limpopo; if not, by what date will a reliable water source be put in place; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
In 2014, three (3) boreholes were drilled within the lodge site and none of these yielded positive results. Subsequent to this attempt, a borehole was drilled some 3km away from the site, and that borehole which yielded water. The water from this borehole was tested and declared fit for human consumption. The borehole was equipped and a pipeline connected to supply water to the lodge. The same borehole also supplied water to the local Cultural Village. The supply of water from the borehole was sufficient to complete the work required for the project and for operations once the project was handed over by the Department to the Owning Entity, the Valoyi Traditional Authority Trust, in May 2016.

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.

Reply:
1. The Minister has met with the Chief Executive Officer. The outcome of the meeting was that the Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) together with the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) and the Small Enterprise Finance Agency (SEFA) will discuss possible areas of cooperation to include amongst other things, mentorship, sharing of research, the ecosystem analysis, etc. Furthermore, it was also agreed that a workshop/summit to discuss available finance for SMMEs in both public and private sector shall be conducted.
2. Government did an analysis on the focus as well as the terms and conditions of the Fund established through the CEO Initiative. Research on the ecosystem conducted by the Department shows that there is limited funding that is available for enterprises that are at an ideation, proof of concept and early start-up phase, and this is the category that is not going to be supported by the fund set up through the CEO initiative. Therefore, government will proceed with its plans of setting up a fund that will address this particular gap in the market and to ensure that Radical Economic Transformation is realised. National Treasury will be best positioned to respond regarding the exact dates of committing funding to the Enterprise Development Fund that government is working on.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Communications
Did the Greater Lebowakgomo Community Radio (GLCR) apply for a licence; if not, why is GLCR being allowed to broadcast; if so, (a) when did the GLCR apply for the licence, (b) how long is the licence valid for and (c) what is the registered name of the entity to which the licence was granted?
Reply:
1. A Community Sound Broadcasting Service (CSBS) licence and a radio frequency spectrum licence were issued to the Greater Lebowakgomo Community Radio (GLCR) in 2008. Both licences expired on 27 October 2013. On 25 March 2014, the Authority published in the Government Gazette 37467, a notice giving all CSCBS licensees whose licences had expired, an opportunity to submit applications for renewal of their licences within thirty (30) working days from the date of publication.
2. GLCR did not submit a renewal application during the grace period despite its name appearing in the said Notice and therefore does not have valid service and spectrum licences issued to it.
3. Having failed to submit its renewal application during the grace period provided by the Authority in 2014, GLCR was required to submit an application for a new licence in order for it to continue providing broadcasting services. No application was received by the Authority.
4. On 22 September 2015, the Authority published a Notice of a Moratorium in Respect of Applications for Class Community Sound Broadcasting Service Licences and Applications for Radio Frequency Spectrum for purposes of providing a Community Broadcasting Service in Government Gazette No. 39226. This Notice effectively means that GLCR can only apply for a new community broadcasting licence once the Authority lifts the Moratorium.
5. In terms of section 7 of the ECA, no person may provide any broadcasting service without a licence. The Authority is investigating the alleged unlawful broadcasting operations / service by GLRC with a view to taking appropriate enforcement action.

Grootboom, Mr GA to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture”
With reference to the medium term expenditure framework 2015-17 and his department’s spending of R5,8 million, R5,1 million and R3,5 million towards public conversations and dialogues around the country, what (a) were the reasons for such financial expenditure on dialogues and (b) was the total breakdown of cost for each of these colloquia?
Reply:
(a). Community conversations provide a dialogic platform for people from diverse backgrounds to come together in a conversation about how to bridge persistent socio-historical divisions, mainly entrenched along racial, cultural and ethnic identities. The main assumption, which is part of the methodological approach, is the idea that levers for cohesion are located from within the communities themselves instead of from without. In other words, the remedies for cohesion can be superimposed from on high. Rather, they must come from communities themselves through an open, inclusive and honest dialogue. In the last two years, 33 conversations were held across all the 9 provinces. The intent is also to use the substance of the analysis in a way that better test the efficacy or otherwise of existing programmes on social cohesion. Furthermore, the analysis from the conversations is important as it must necessarily inform the development or conceptualisation of new strategic interventions for social cohesion and nation building.
The total budget, which is part of the Department’s contractual obligations with the service provider i.e. the National Institute for Community Development and Management (NICDAM), covering the three year period (2015/2016, 2016/2017 & 2017/2018) is R6 424 479.60.
(b). During the 2016/2017 financial year, the Department rolled out 33 community conversations in all nine ( 09) provinces, total expenditure on conversation only, amounting to R806 285
However, an additional expenditure of R1 071 679 was incurred with regards to, among others, project management costs, research, audit fees, provincial briefings and preparation of reports, as well as editing and production of video material.
