Reply:

(1)(a)(i)(ii) Yes, members of the South African Airways (SAA) board of directors and management did have meetings with the management of the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) on matters relating to the SAA during the six months period ending on 30 September 2017.

(aa) (bb)(cc)(dd)(ee)

Various meetings between the PIC and SAA were held. The two key meetings were the following:

  • On 23 June 2017, a meeting between the senior management teams of PIC and SAA took place at the SAA Offices in Ekhuruleni. The PIC’s Executive Head for Listed Investments, Mr Fidelis Madavo, led the PIC’s delegation. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the way forward for the PIC to conduct a detailed Due Diligence on SAA. The due diligence included risk analysis, financial analysis, ESG analysis as well as legal analysis. The following employees of the PIC were also present at the meeting:
    • Mr Paul Magula – Executive Head: Risk Management
    • Mr Ernest Nesane – Executive Head: Legal Services
    • Ms Rubeena Solomon – General Manager: Investment Support
    • Mr Leon Smit – General Manager: Fixed Income
    • Mr Lloyd Mahara – Portfolio Manager: Credit Analysis: Listed Investments

Shivambu, Mr F to ask the Minister of Finance

Whether a tender was advertised when a certain person (name furnished) was commissioned to undertake research that resulted in the production of the research report titled The Ownership of JSE Listed Companies; if so, (a) on what date was the tender advertised, (b) what is the total number of bidders who responded to the advertisement, (c) who was the (i) second best bidder, (ii) third best bidder and (iii) what was the price of each specified bidder, (d) on what date was the specified person appointed, (e) for how long was the research commissioned and (f) what is the total amount paid for the tender; (2) Whether the National Treasury has the capacity to conduct research on the ownership of the overall economy, including listed, unlisted and informal entities; if not, why not; if so, why was the research put to tender?

Reply:

1. No tender was advertised, therefore, parts (a) to (f) of the question are not applicable. Ms Thomas was contracted under the single source rules in terms of Supply Chain Management guidelines[1].

2. The National Treasury only has the capacity to undertake some aspects of such study but often for once-off projects that are not planned for, such research would take officials away from other critical work. Furthermore, it was also important to secure the services of an independent expert rather than rely on the JSE or other active stakeholders more directly involved in the ownership debate. This paper is merely the start of a research process on this matter and the National Treasury is in the process of inviting local researchers to peer review the work of Ms Thomas, as well as similar papers available on the nature of ownership of listed companies in South Africa, so as to provide a credible basis for supporting the transformation debate in South Africa.

Kwankwa, Mr NL to ask the Minister of Finance

Whether, pursuant to his statement that any recommendation about the possibility of extending or broadening the mandate of the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) should be brought to his attention in line with his mandate as the Minister of Finance and in light of the need to ensure better alignment of monetary and fiscal policy in the country as a strategy to unlock job-creating growth, the Government has considered the (a) need to broaden the mandate of the SARB to ensure that it also has a socio-economic development objective and (b) possibility of introducing a 1 percentage point tolerance interval over and above the upper band of the 3-6% inflation target in order to mitigate against central bank overreaction in times of sluggish growth or when the economy is in recession?

Reply:

a) No, there is no need to review the Constitution on the mandate of the SARB.

Sections 223-225 of the Constitution outline the primary object of the SARB, which is “to protect the value of the currency in the interest of balanced and sustainable economic growth in the Republic". Section 224 (2) requires regular consultation between the Bank and the Minister of Finance.

The current Constitution and legislation governing the SARB is therefore very broad, and does not constrain Government from adopting (and legislating) appropriate policies to facilitate inclusive growth and job-creation, achieve the objectives of the NDP, and reduce inequality and deliver basic services to all those residing in SA.

Whilst the debate on the role of the central bank is vibrant, both in South Africa and other countries, it is important that those calling for reviews provide the necessary research and motivation for proposing such reviews, including their understanding of the role of both fiscal and monetary policy, and what specific problems they are seeking to solve. The SARB’s monetary policy mandate cannot be separated from Government’s fiscal policy mandate and performance. Any attempt to amend these constitutional provisions without due regard for this relationship will generate unnecessary uncertainty, and impact negatively on growth and jobs.

b) The existing monetary policy framework, through flexible inflation targeting, allows for temporary deviations of inflation from the target in the event of shocks over which monetary policy has no impact. A specific tolerance level around the target would therefore not be necessary. An explicit tolerance indicator may potentially risk de-anchoring inflation expectations, and thereby constrain the SARB’s ability to respond flexibly to an inflation shock.

Reply:

Below is the publically available information on finalised disciplinary processes for the period April 2016 to March 2017. We are unable to supply individual’s names or firm’s names, as the Board determined per section 51(5) of the APA that publication would be in general terms due to the nature of these transgressions.

Question 2

  1. The specified tender was first advertised in February 2013 and was finally awarded in May 2016 after been advertised and retracted on only two occasions. It is important to note that in the intervening period, there were three changes in the board of directors of SAAT (the board), each with different views and strategy, which had an impact on the tender process. In the main, the reasons for multiple retractions and re-advertising were as follows:
  • In light of the cash-flow challenges and the drive to significantly reduce operational costs around 2013, SAAT resolved to review its major supplier contracts. These contracts include the Component support (specified contract), logistics and Aircraft tyre supply contracts. SAAT was considering negotiating for discounts and/or taking an integrated approach to awarding the said contracts.

Management had therefore requested the board to extend the contracts and delay the RFP process to provide an opportunity for the business to align the scope of the combined services to the Long-Term Strategy (LTTS); also to consider a number of smart solutions available within the global MRO industry.

Initially, SAAT’s objective was to pursue an integrated solution to the components Support and Logistics/shipping costs in order to not only reduce costs of the individual contracts but to also derive benefits out of scale discounts through joint procurement. In addition to which, SAAT would also pursue localisation as part of the award of the Tyre Supply contract.

  • Around April 2013, there were discussions about a possible merger between SAAT and SA Express MRO, and a possibility of Denel Aviation lagging behind. A turnaround strategy document was drafted for discussion. Because of this, an original extension on the Component support agreement was granted until the end of March 2014, the period, which the potential merger was envisaged to have been finalized.
  • Management requested the board to allow the Supply Chain Management (SCM) team to test the market so as to understand what are the normal prices on the market for component tender. SAAT has had a contract with Air France all along, as a result the only pricing the company understood was that by Air France, which was far more expensive that what was out on the market. The cost compression initiative was already applicable in this period therefore, SCM was obligated to obtain as much savings as possible from this tender to reach their target.

The request for extension was made to the board, and SCM only offered to extend the contract with Air France after they agreed to give SAAT a discount of 400 000 USD. This amount contributed towards the Cost compression

  • Furthermore the retraction was effected as a risk mitigation measure on the part of SAAT to ensure that preferred bidder is able to deliver on the contracted services.

Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Finance

Why did the National Treasury grant full exemption from the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999, to a certain company (FOSKOR) until 31 October 2019?

Reply:

The main reason is because Foskor is one of the Industrial Development Corporations’ (IDC) subsidiaries and in direct competition with private sector companies that are not required to provide reports such as Corporate Plans and Quarterly Reports. Compliance with the PFMA reporting requirements would require introduction of additional processes at a cost to companies already in financial distress.

The second reason was to afford Foskor an opportunity to compete evenly in an open market with other private companies in terms of the pace at which they could undertake certain transactions e.g. Section 54(2) of the PFMA transactions such as acquisition and disposal of assets that require approval of the executive authority; Section (7)(2) regarding opening of bank accounts after compliance with any prescribed tendering procedures and Section 7(4) providing that the National Treasury may prescribe investment policies for public entities.

It is worth mentioning that with regards to reporting requirements, IDC was requested to submit its Corporate Plan with the consolidated financial projections of the internal subsidiaries (mini-group) and any subsidiary with a total asset value above the significance level of R500 million.

With regards to the transactions they undertake, IDC was requested to ensure that the mandate and performance of their subsidiaries are aligned with government development policies i.e. the National Development Plan (NDP), New Growth Path (NGP), and Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP).

Stander, Ms T to ask the Minister of Social Development

(1) Whether the policy framework for Government's sanitary ware programme has been developed since her reply to question 816 on 19 June 2017; if not, (a) why not and (b) by what date is it envisaged that the framework will be developed; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether the proposed retreat to focus on the formulation of the specified framework took place; if not, why not; if so, (a) on which dates did it take place, (b) who attended the retreat and (c) what (i) was the total cost of the retreat and (ii) are the details of the product and/or outcome of the retreat; (3) whether the specified framework has been presented to the National Consultation lndaba; if not, (a) why not and (b) by what date will it be presented to the indaba; if so, what are the relevant details? NW4124E

Reply:

(1) In reply to question 816 on 19 June 2017, the Department of Social Development wishes to acknowledge that the Sanitary Dignity policy is driven by the Minister of the Department of Women. It is the Lead Department and has coordinated the development of the draft Policy which is hereto attached. The Department of Social Development is part of the Task Team and participates in all the meetings convened as well as providing support in finalizing the policy, and will also be involved in the identification of indigent girls and women from our database for distribution purposes.

(2) A retreat was not hosted by the lead Department or Department of Social Development.

(3) The framework was presented at the National 'Consultation lndaba convened by the Department of Women. The National Department of Social Development was represented by the Gender Chief Directorate. The Sanitary Dignity Consultative lndaba was held on 13 July 2017 against the background of a draft policy that has been produced by Department of Women (DoW), with the help of a team of three seconded officials from the Department of Traditional Affairs.

There is also a National Inter-department Task Team {NTT) that was established in order to work as a task team that would see to the finalization of the process of policy formulation, led by DoW and comprised of the following national departments:

• Department of Women (DoW);

• Department of Social Development (DSD);

• Department of Small Business Development (DSBD);

• Department of Trade and Industry (DTI);

• Department of Finance (National Treasury);

• Department of Higher Education;

• Department of Basic Education; and

• Statistics South Africa.

Following the presentation of the Policy Framework at the lndaba, it was agreed that the Policy Framework should form part of the Department of Women's Annual Performance Plan, Strategic Plan and Operational Plan. Provinces will be expected to develop their own policies according to their unique environments but keeping to injunctions of the Framework Policy.

Moving forward, the policy will go to the Social Protection, Community and Human Development (SPCHD) Cluster Technical Working Group (TWG), SPCHD DG Cluster, Cabinet Committee on SPCHD and then to Cabinet. It will then be gazetted and further awareness of the policy and solicitation of comments and analysis of those comments will ensue. There will be a final SociowEconomic Impact Assessment (SEIAS) process which will include the costing exercise. It will go to Cabinet for the final decision and then a final gazetting will take place and that product can be shared with Parliament.

Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Social Development

(1)With reference to her reply to question 2019 on 9 October 2017, in which she gives a breakdown of the number of Mikondzo events that were held in each province, as well as the associated costs, why were 20 events held in KwaZulu-Natal and only one or two events held in the remainder of the provinces, which total to only 11 events; (2) in view of the specified reply which states that the total cost of the specified events amounted to R10 098 290 976, although the budget was only R62 500 000, (a) why did her department overspend billions of Rands on the events and (b) in which budgeted line item were these billions reflected; (3) whether any virements were necessary to pay for the overspend; if so, (a)(i) from which budgeted line item and (ii) in which programmes were the specified virements made, (b) what percentage of the specified budgeted line item was used for the virements, (c) who authorised such virements and (d) were the large virements authorised by the Treasury; (4) with reference to her specified reply in which it is stated that the budget allocation of each event was R2 500 000, but according to the actual expenditure costs the average cost of each event was R325 million, from where did she obtain the specified figures?

Reply:

1. The reply to Parliamentary Question 2019 indicated that there were 11 Mikondzo events held in KwaZulu-Natal. The areas identified for Mikondzo are informed by prevailing social ills, the level of poverty and challenges with access to social services amongst others. As a result, the provinces will not all host the same number of Mikondzo events.

2. Please note that there was an error in the attachment to Parliamentary Question 2019. The actual amount spent on Mikondzo for the financial year, was approximately R100 million, and not R10 billion. The events in Limpopo and Mpumalanga indicated that an amount of R2,5 billion was spent on these events. This should have been R2,5 million, which was in line with the budgeted amount for each event. The funding was allocated from the retained surplus.

3. No virements were necessary, as the funding was allocated from the retained surplus.

4. As indicated under response to question 2, the details in the spreadsheet in the response to question 2019 was incorrect. The budgeted amount for each event was in fact R2,5 million.

b) The estimated cost of the rehabilitation works is estimated at R128.35m.

c) Transnet has been contracted to execute the rehabilitation works. During service disruptions of this nature PRASA endeavours to open lines as soon as they are declared safe for operations, while major repairs may to still occur to restore the infrastructure completely.

This may cause service disruptions during infrastructure works as and when required to fully restore the infrastructure. The two major services still affected by the storms in KZN are the Durban – Wests (Bluff) line and the South Coast line between Amamzimtoti and Reunion. The Bluff line will be opened to traffic by 7 November 2017, while the South Coast line repairs will take up to 4 months to repair.

T repairs effected, where possible to enable the safe passage of trains, albeit at a slow pace. During short service disruptions PRASA provides alternative bus transport between affected stations. Due to the duration of repairs on the South Coast line, PRASA is not in a position to provide alternative bus transport at a cost of R10m for the duration of repairs and advised commuters to make use of alternative public transport. PRASA did approach various avenues to access disaster funding to fund alternative bus transport without success. Disaster funding are earmarked for infrastructure repairs and not operational expenditure such as transport.

South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA)

On 10th October around 09:30 hours, a severe storm hit Durban area and the KwaZulu Natal coast with wind force reported to have reached 86 knots. This caused serious damage to vessels docked in Durban harbour and port infrastructure.

The following vessels were affected:

MSC INES (Container Ship):

“MSC INES” owned by the Mediterranean Shipping Company, broke loose from her berth and drifted within the harbour making contact to other vessels in the vicinity (Maersk Vallvik and the quay side infrastructure) while drifting towards the port entrance and ran aground thus blocking the port entrance. SAMSA and TNPA jointly took a decision to attend to the vessel as matter of priority. 5 tugs were utilized in pulling out the stranded vessel and clearing the port entrance. The refloating operation took about 6.5hours, the vessel was secured alongside E-shed berth at 18:00.

BOW TRIUMPH (Product Tanker):

The “Bow Triumph” was aground on the sand bank as a result of breaking loose from Island View berth No 2 due to gale force winds. Two tugs were utilized to refloat the vessel and around 18:00 the vessel was secured to its allotted berth.

MS NEW YORK (Container Ship):

MS New York drifted from berth, made contact with “MSC Ines” and ran aground off berth 204 on the sand bank in the harbour. Two tugs were used in the refloating operation and the vessel was secured around 18:30 at P – shed.

MSC SUSANNA (Container Ship):

MSC Susana broke moorings from berth 108 and while drifting made contact with other vessels in the vicinity (French Navy vessel, HS Rossini and MOL vessel). Two tugs were made fast to her and at around 18:53 she was secured alongside at M-Shed. Three 40ft containers were dislodged from the ship and fell into the water with the first container recovered on the 12th October and subsequently the second one. The third container was recovered on the 28th October 2017.

 

MARITIME NEWANDA (Bulk Carrier):

Vessel broke loose at Maydon Wharf 5 and landed alongside construction barges at Maydon Wharf 6. She was attended and safely secured to her berth Maydon Wharf 5 at about 18:00. On inspection minor damages observed to paint work.

S.A SHIPYARDS:

The Floating Dock with the new build tug alongside the dock broke loose and ran aground on the sand bank. These were refloated and secured the following day (11th October 2017) at SA Shipyard dock. No apparent damage has been reported.

NEW PIER 1

Straddle carrier at New Pier 104 toppled into the water from quay side and was recovered on the 03rd November 2017, extent of damage is being assessed.

Pollution:

Due to the storm in the entire Ethekwini area, substantial quantity of storm water, debris and other pollutants made way into the harbour waters. Two of the three dislodged containers from the MSC SUSANNA loaded with 25 kg bags of plastic pellets fell in the water and suffered damage / were breached and plastic pellets spilled into the sea. One container was recovered on 12 October, several bags were retrieved within the port waters and a clean-up operation was implemented by port pollution control department assisted by a subcontracted third party. The second container was recovered on the 28th October 2017. The plastic pellets mixed with other debris subsequently made its way to the ocean resulting in the pollution reported on the coastal areas and the harbour.

The third container had a cargo of energy drinks and it posed no risk of pollution, the fourth one contained vehicle spare parts.

Action taken

On the 24th October 2017, a meeting in response to the pollution that had already taken place was held at the Harbour Masters office, SAMSA, TNPA, DEA, KZN wildlife and COGTA representatives were in attendance. Chairing the meeting was the DEA Chief Director. The discussions in the meeting was to determine the source of pollution and the measures already taken to manage the spread and impact on the affected areas.

Underwater drones and multi beam survey and divers were deployed by TNPA to expedite recovery of sunken containers which were a source of pollution and danger to navigation.

Outcome of the meeting;

  • Engage with the ship owner in order to facilitate the assessment of the extent of pollution in all the reported affected areas and to initiate a methodology for the clean-up and recovery of pollutants.
  • Affected municipalities need to be engaged in order to assist with the clean-up and recovery.
  • SAMSA to undertake the monitoring and oversight role on the progress of the decisions taken, and engage the ship owner regarding his/her responsibilities of the entire incident.
  • SAMSA met with MSC Director of Operations and TNPA Harbour Master to discuss the liability of the carrier MSC in relation to the pollution incident.

Further follow Up Meeting held on the 25th October 2017

Present at the meeting was SAMSA, MSC representatives, P&I representatives, TNPA (Harbour Master/ Pollution Control Department) and service provider DRIZIT.

  • A directive was served to the ship owners and MSC agreed to abide with the conditions of the SAMSA directive for the clean-up operation. A voluntary clean-up and recovery process was initiated by cargo owners SABIC who appointed a service provider DRIZIT.
  • Area survey of beaches up to Umhlanga on North Coast and and Umkomas on the South Coast beaches was conducted by service provider and SAMSA representative in attendance which revealed miniscule presence of plastic pellets at the high water mark on the coast. Aggressive cleaning approach with a defined search pattern was implemented by SAMSA, TNPA, DEA and service providers.
  • A central collection point at Durban ski-boat club was set up where the plastic pellets could be dropped off. A toll free number was released to public to enable contacting the service provider 24 x 7 of any sightings of pellets and information on pollution.

Infrastructure repairs and clean-up cost

An assessment to quantify the cost of infrastructure repairs is being evaluated by TNPA and would be available once the assessment is completed.

Cost of clean-up of the harbour area and the affected coastal areas is on the account of the Shipping Company (MSC), its insurers and P&I Club (West of England)

 

All containers reported to have fallen into the water have been recovered.

Note: It is reported that some plastic pellets have found their way all the way to Humewood Beach in Port Elizabeth but it appears that the concentration is not severe.

South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA)

  1. (i) Not applicable; (ii) and (b): The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) endeavours to comply with section 38(1)(f) of the Public Finance Management Act, Treasury Regulation 8.2.3 and National Treasury SCM Instruction No 5 of 2016/17 to settle all contractual obligations as well as all valid and approved invoices within a period of 30 days, or as prescribed or agreed.

Debt is settled within 30 days of a valid and approved invoice being presented to the SACAA’s Finance Department and if all the required supporting documents are submitted. An invoice is regarded as a valid invoice only after it has been approved by the business unit receiving the service / product, to certify that goods/services offered were received in order and were of the correct quality and quantity. Invoices that have not been approved and paid within 30 days are as a result of queries between the SACAA and the supplier that must be resolved first. Payments are done weekly by the SACAA’s Finance Department and a creditor’s age analysis is prepared and reviewed monthly. The following invoices are currently recorded as unpaid for more than 30 days:

  1. (ii) CBRTA’

The Cross Border Road Transport Agency pays its debt timeously, at an average of 14 days per creditor.

Full operations (on trunk route) are scheduled to commence when the infrastructure is fully complete in 2018.”

However, for the system to be fully operational in the City would mean the completion of all its phases, namely Phases 1 – 5. Subsequent phases being Phase 2 to Phase 5 remain unfunded and are subject to an operational plan being approved by the Council and funding approved by the NDOT. Therefore, phase 1 is planned to be fully operational in the year 2020 subject to conclusion of negotiations for final compensation.

(2)

(a) There were no delays encountered thus far in the procurement of services. However, delays were mainly encountered at the beginning of construction due to the following, among others:

Shivambu, Mr F to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry

With reference to the reply to question 3470 on 9 November 2017, (a) what is the name of each person transacting on behalf of the trust, (b) what is the name of each beneficiary of the transaction in respect of the trust, (c) what is the total amount that has been transferred, (d) who is the owner of each trust and (e) on what date was each transaction registered?

Reply:

In response to PQ 3789, the list of transactions registered as at 21 November 2017 is attached as Annexure A. As the B-BBEE Commission does not register trusts but major B-BBEE transactions, we outline the process for registration of major B-BBEE transactions below:

The Explanatory Notice issued by the Commission on 13 June 2017, pursuant to the threshold for major B-BBEE transaction the Minister of Trade and Industry issued on 9 June 2017 in Notice No. 551 in Government Gazette No. 40898 (“Notice”) prescribes documents that must accompany B-BBEE18 for registering a major B-BBEE transactions, which includes trust deeds where applicable.

As of 21 November 2017, the B-BBEE Commission has received two hundred and nineteen (219) major B-BBEE transactions for registration and of these seventy-five (75) involve trusts. Each trust deed identifies the trustees and important to note that not all trusts have undergone the process of registration at the Masters office as at the date of registration of a major transaction.

Further, the Explanatory Notice requires any party to the transaction to register the transaction to the B-BBEE Commission. Most of the transactions are either registered by the party which sells shares or an asset to black people or a third party nominated by the party (ies) to the transaction such as consultants or attorneys.

Furthermore, we wish to advice that there are three types of transactions:

Transactions concluded prior to the amendment of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act 53 of 2003. In terms of the Notice, parties to such transaction are encouraged to voluntarily register the transaction. These are not mandatory to register.

Transactions concluded as of 24 October 2014 when the amended Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 46 of 2013 came into effect. The Notice required such transaction to be registered within sixty (60) days from date the threshold was gazetted. The B-BBEE Regulations require the B-BBEE Commission to assess each transaction upon registration.

Transactions registered within fifteen (15) days of being concluded. The B-BBEE Commission will not be able to determine the value that black people derived, because the transaction is at an infant stage.

The B-BBEE Commission will publish a report annually of these transactions which will provide details that will include the value and benefits to black beneficiaries, who in essence are indirect shareholders through a trust. The obligation to report major B-BBEE transactions only commenced on 9 June 2017, and the B-BBEE Commission is in the process of registering and assessing in line with the Notice.

King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

What measures has his department put in place to mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks in the country?

Reply:

In terms of the National Cybersecurity Policy Framework (NCPF) for South Africa, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is obliged to review the cybersecurity laws of the Republic to ensure that these laws are aligned with the NCPF, and provide for a coherent and integrated cybersecurity legal framework for the Republic. In accordance with the mandate of the Department, the Cybercrimes and Cybersecurity Bill (the Bill) was developed and introduced in Parliament as Bill 6 -2017 after a protracted consultation process. The Bill aims, amongst others, to put measures in place to deal with cybersecurity, capacity building and, as a subdivision of cybersecurity, also with cybercrimes.

Chapter 11 of the Bill provides for the declaration of essential information infrastructures as critical information infrastructures and provide for the implementation of special measures, amongst others, to regulate minimum security standards relating to:

  1. the classification of data held by the critical information infrastructure;
  2. the protection of, the storing of, and archiving of data held by the critical information infrastructure;
  3. cybersecurity incident management by the critical information infrastructure;
  4. disaster contingency and recovery measures which must be put in place by the critical information infrastructure;
  5. minimum physical and technical security measures that must be implemented in order to protect the critical information infrastructure; and
  6. other relevant matters that are necessary or expedient in order to promote cybersecurity in respect of the critical information infrastructure.

Cyber attacks are criminalized by various offences provided for in Chapter 2 of the Bill. Clause 11 of the Bill provides for specific offences that can be committed in respect of critical information infrastructures that are punishable with appropriate and proportional sentences.

The Bill further amends the Protection of Constitutional Democracy against Terrorist and Related Activities Act, 2004 (Act 33 of 2004), in order to criminalize cyber- terrorist activities. Amendments are also affected to the Disaster Management Act, 2002 (Act 57 of 2002), to specifically make that Act applicable to disasters that may involve critical information infrastructures.

The Department also actively participates in initiatives of the interim Cyber Response Committee, which consists of various Departments, that is tasked to implement the NCPF. The NCPF makes provision for the development and implementation of various initiatives and measures by different Departments that are aimed at securing South Africa’s Information Communication Technologies.

Motau, Mr SC to ask the Minister in the Presidency

With reference to the high expenditure on consultants in the Presidency’s 2016-17 annual report, what steps has the Presidency taken to curb the use of consultants since 1 April 2017, particularly for work that could easily be performed by the Presidency’s employees?

Reply:

In instances where consultants have been used, the expenditure has been reduced by using negotiated rates. The remuneration rate at which consultants are appointed is below the standard rate. The Presidency also cuts the number of hours of work where possible as a further initiative. In areas with less capacity constraints transfer of skills is applied. Furthermore, the Department is reviewing the structure to identify collaborations with an objective of increasing efficiency. A Consultancy reduction strategy was implemented in 2015 to ensure constant monitoring of consultant costs.
