Gqada, Ms T to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
(1) With reference to the Minister of Energy’s reply to question 2966 on 12 October 2017, (a) why does Eskom disagree with the creation of a national basket for maintenance that will require a percentage from municipality revenue as stipulated by her department, (b) what is the alternative plan from Eskom in this regard, (c) how does Eskom intend to deal with the maintenance backlog that the national basket for maintenance attempts to address, (d) what is the total cost of the backlog and (e) what percentage of the tariff increase requested by Eskom will be allocated to maintenance; (2)what is the current allocation of revenue that is allocated to Eskom for maintenance?
Reply:
(1)(a)
Eskom disagreed to being part of the national basket for the following reasons:
- Eskom does not require additional funding outside the tariff increases to do maintenance of its Distribution infrastructure
- Eskom has stated its ambition in its corporate plan to reduce its financial loans and government guarantees in the next five years
- Eskom believes that Distribution should be a self-funding business.
(1)(b)
Based on the reasons in (1)(a) Eskom does not require an alternative plan
(1)(c)
From an Eskom perspective, there is no maintenance (repairs and preventative) backlog. Eskom Distribution has a preventative work order compliance rate of 99%.
(1)(d)
Not applicable, as Eskom does not have a backlog.
The maintenance budget (repairs and preventative) for the next 5 years is R25 484m.
(1)(e)
Looking at the make-up of the Eskom’s revenue application, this cannot be specifically broken down as the percentage, due to the application structure being expressed as the c/kwh and driven by the specific cost base
(2)
The 2017/2018 MYPD 3 Determination for the revenue allocation is R205 215m. The allocation for the total maintenance at Eskom level is R14 813m, of which R7 407m is the allocation for Distribution licence maintenance.

Groenewald, Mr HB to ask the Minister of Transport
(a) How is the performance of the boards of entities that report to him measured, (b) what sanction takes place should the performance targets not be met, (c) how did each board of each entity that report to him perform against set targets and measurables in the past three financial years and (d) who monitors the performance of boards?
Reply:
a) At the beginning of the financial year each entiy is required to submit a Shareholders compact. The shareholders compact, documents the mandated key performance measures and indicators to be achieved by the entities as agreed by the Accounting Authority and Executive Authority. The Executive Authority monitors the extent to which the Board as a whole, achieves the objectives and specific performamce targets. Procedures have been established where all the Accounting Authorities in SOE’s reports to the Executive Authority on a quarterly basis for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
b) In instances where an entity has not met its performance targets, careful consideration must be given, taking into account the reasons provided by the entities for non-achievement. Where it is found that Board members are lacking in certain skills sets they will be recommended for skills training or equipping programmes relevant to requirements. Sanctions would only become applicable where an entity has deliberately and knowingly acted negligently with state funds or resources or where supply chain processes were overlooked. In such instances, investigations are undertaken, followed by disciplinary action(s) where applicable or necessary.
c) Boards’ performance for the past three (3) financial years has been satisfactory, with other entities performing exceptionally well.
d) Board performance is monitored by the Corporate Governance Section within the Department. In addition, Boards also undergo Board evaluations, these can be done by an independent company or alternatively Board members can evaluate each other. Board evaluations conducted by Board members evaluating each other are usually done on a confidential basis. During these evaluations Board members are required to evaluate not only the positives but the negatives of each Board member over the course of the financial period under review. The outcomes of these Board evaluation reports are submitted to the Shareholder on an annual basis.

(d) In all the above mentioned tenders awarded, bidders had to respond to set functionality criteria. The tender documents (Terms of Reference) for each tender specified the evaluation criteria for measuring functionality, as developed by a Bid Specification Committee and with cognisance to the following:
1. It should not be generic;
2. It should be determined separately for each tender;
3. It may not be so low that it jeopardise the quality of the required goods or services; and
4. It may not be so high that is unreasonable to achieve.
Functionality criteria differs from one tender to another, but can include:
- Company experience and track record;
2. Skills development;
3. Proposed methodology and approach.
The criteria will also state the points available for each criteria and, if any, each sub-criteria, as well as the minimum qualifying score needed to advance. Normally the threshold will be between 65% and 85% out of 100%;
All tenders that score the minimum qualifying score for functionality is evaluated further in terms of Price and B-BBEE in accordance with the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2016. (All the aforementioned tenders were evaluated before the implementation of the new Regulations on 1 April 2017).
(e) As detailed in Section (d) each tender had specific evaluation criteria for measuring functionality, as developed by a Bid Specification Committee. During evaluation requirements such as capacity, capability and resources are then evaluated.
Additionally, once awarded, Project Managers conclude a Contract and Project Plan in which deliverables and time frames are detailed, against which the project is managed and performance measured.

An Evaluation Committee consisting of senior officials from the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited and complying with the SANRAL’s Supply Chain Management Policy will evaluate the bid tenders. The panel will individually evaluate each of the tenders received against the criteria listed in this section. A recommendation from the Evaluation Committee will be forwarded to the Adjudication Committee of the SANRAL who in terms of SANRAL’s Supply Chain Management Policy will adjudicate and award the contract.
SANRAL reserves the right to request one or more tenderers, who have scored, according to SANRAL, the highest scores for their tenders, to enter into negotiations with SANRAL regarding the award.

- change the SANRAL’s or the Tenderer’s risks and responsibilities under the contract, or;
- affect the competitive position of other Tenderers presenting responsive tenders, if it were to be rectified.
SANRAL may reject a non-responsive Tender, and not allow it to be subsequently made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the non-conforming deviation or reservation, unless it can be subsequently rendered responsive by correction that does not prejudice the other Tenderers.

The evaluation will follow the following sequence: - (wherein either two or single envelope may be applicable)
Phase One

Reply:
(1) In 2016/17 there were 2 multi-year projects that were being funded and are in the cyber/information security space.
a) The development of a prototype for the Biometric Recognition of Minors. Its total budget over 2015/16 - 2017/18 is R 14 977 561, of which R 8 648 983 was for 2016/17. In its conceptualisation the project received endorsement from the South African Social Services Agency (SASSA), and is being implemented by the CSIR.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Science and Technology
(1) (a) What programmes of the National Research Foundation's (NRF's) budget will benefit from its decision to cut funding to over 2 000 rated researchers by 90% from 1 January 2018, (b) what amount will be saved, and (c) what precisely will the savings be used for; (2) were other areas of possible savings considered so as to reduce the shock effect of the 90% decrease; if not why not; if so, (a) what are the details, and (b) why were these areas not included in the NRF's savings plan, (3) has the NRF done a cost-benefit analysis of what will be lost as a result of the 90% decrease, in terms of (a) student education and (b) research outputs; if not, in each case, why not, if so, what were the findings in each case?
Reply:
1. The number of A and B rated researchers is 831 and not 2 000. The restructuring of the Incentive Funding for Rated Researchers (IFRR) instrument will benefit emerging and early career researchers as well as established researchers through the following instruments, viz., (i) Competitive programme for Rated Researchers (CPRR); (ii) Competitive Support for Unrated Researchers (CSUR); and (iii) Thuthuka.
Based on the current MTEF budget, it is estimated the approximately R30 million per annum will be re-directed and used to supplement the above funding instruments.
2. Yes, all areas of possible savings were considered in terms of the NRF's operational and financial sustainability plans. However, only the IFRR programme was deemed relevant in terms of the directive from the National Treasury that the NRF must implement measures to increase cost savings without compromising its core mandate of research support and advancement.
3. The IFRR programme was never intended to be a primary instrument of the allocating research grants and driving student education or research output. The R30 million released from restructuring the IFRR constitutes only 1.25% of the R2.4 billion annual allocations for researcher and postgraduate and student support. The released funds will be re-allocated for researcher and student support through other funding instruments.

Reply:
Due to the detailed information requested for the department and its entities per order issued during the past 5 years it will unfortunately not be possible to provide a meaningful response within the limited time frame allowed in responding to Parliamentary questions.
The information requested is not readily available and supporting documents will have to be requested from archives filed off site.
Further to that it should also be noted that the BEE status level as requested per supplier will not cover the 5 year period and that the department previously recorded and reported on the HDI status of suppliers. The software system that was used at that stage is no longer in existence as it has been discontinued with the implementation of the Central Supplier Database hosted at National Treasury.
Based on the above it is proposed that the department be allowed more time to gather information and that a response be submitted directly to the member.

Reply:
a) The Fund will be operational during 2018/19 financial year but the planned disbursement of the funding will be the beginning of 2019/2020 financial year.
b) An allocation of R1 Billion has been communicated to the Department of Small Business Development.
c) The money will come from the national fiscus.
d) The Department of Small Business Development together with National Treasury and Department of Science and Technology are working with the Government Technical Advisory Centre (GTAC) to develop the architecture of the Fund where issues around the management of the Fund will be considered.
e) The SA SME Fund established by the CEO Initiative is targeting high growth businesses whereas our research on the ecosystem shows that there is a lack of funding of enterprises that are at an ideation and early start-up phase which will be the target of the Fund. The Department together with its agencies are engaging with SA SME Fund to identify areas of collaboration on other matters which include sharing research, mentorship and training of enterprises on financial management.
f) The work that is being undertaken through GTAC will assist government to decide on how the fund will operate but the government is conscious of the economic environment and would not look at setting up a completely new structure that will add to operational costs.
g) The financial mandate of the fund will be informed by the exercise that is being conducted through GTAC, but government is looking at having this fund as a soft loan which will provide affordable finance to small businesses and the emphasis will be more on ensuring that the Fund is sustainable rather than profit maximisation.

- Upgrade the spruit into a rectangular reinforced concrete lined canal with energy dissipators between Francoise Road and Van Riebeeck Avenue (2300m) to accommodate 1:50 year flood event.
- Stabilise the slopes of the spruit using Gabions between Van Riebeeck and 1st Avenue (450m).
- Increase all culvert capacities to accommodate at least 1:50 year flood event.
- Construct an attenuation pond that will be used as a dry retention structure to attenuate the difference between 1:50 and 1:100-year flood event.
- Construct an impermeable clay bund/berm covered with reinforced grass adjacent to some properties.

b) The devolution of the property rates fund grant to provinces as the allocated funding for property rates was phased into the equitable share in 2013/14.

Chance, Mr R to ask the Minister of Public Works
(1) With reference to the amended Construction Industry Development Regulations that was published for public comment in the Government Gazette No 38822 on 29 May 2015, what (a) is the current status of the proposed prompt payment regulations and (b) were the main points raised by the public through the consultation period; (2) by what date does he expect that the amended regulations will be enforced?
Reply:
1. (a) The draft Regulations on Prompt Payment and adjudication for the construction industry which were published for comment by the Minister of Public Works in Government Gazette 38822 of 29 May 2015 have been withdrawn. The Regulations were published in terms of Section 33 of the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Act, 2000 (Act no 38 of 2000). The much anticipated regulations were aimed at introducing automatic interest on late payment as well as statutory mechanisms to ensure progressive payment to contractors for work done.
In following due legal processes, the Minister submitted the draft Regulations to the Office of the Chief State Law Advisor to test its Constitutional validity and whether the draft Regulations were not ultra vires (meaning whether the Regulations did not go beyond the scope of the empowering provisions of the CIDB Act).
(b) The comments received highlighted the need for greater alignment of the adjudication provisions with the existing legislative framework for the administration of contracts, as well as the powers of the Minister in terms of the CIDB Act. Specifically, key comments received include (i) there are potential challenges that would arise if main contractors are expected to pay a sub-contractor within 30-days. Where verification of work is required, this may result in bad quality work being delivered, and as such, main contractors may be reluctant to sub-contract. This scenario may lead to price escalations
as a strategy to minimize the risk to main contractors. It would give a wrong impression to service providers that the payment is due to them irrespective of quality of work; (ii) payment of invoice within 30-days of submission will be impossible to implement by the public sector versus the current practice of within 30-days of issuing progress payment certificates after invoice have been verified; (iii) since the Regulations were proposing payment by main contractors to sub-contractors, it is argued that the conditions of contracts between the main and sub-contractors should take precedence.
2. The Minister received the legal opinion from the Office of the Chief State Law Advisor (the legal opinion) which emphasised that the Regulations were ultra vires and if challenged would not pass the Constitutional validity threshold. In essence, the legal opinion advised that the prompt payment and compulsory adjudication provisions of the draft regulations were substantive in nature and could not be categorised as any other matter for the better execution of the Act or in relation to any power granted or function or duty imposed by the Act (see section 33 (1) of the Act). The Chief State law advisor applied a restrictive approach for interpreting wide empowering provisions in respect of the making of the regulations and concluded that the draft regulations:
- extended the scope or general operation of the enactment;
- supported attempts to widen the purposes of the Act;
- provided for substantive matters relating to the law of contract as opposed to administrative measures to implement the substantive matters provided in the Act; and
- could not be categorised as authorising the provision of subsidiary means of carrying into effect what is enacted in the statute itself and covered what is incidental to the execution of its specific provisions.

Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Social Development
(1)With reference to her replies to questions 2018 and 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 and the management of the specified events by certain companies (names furnished), why do the Mikondzo events in her reply to question 2019 not correspond with the Mikondzo events for which the specified companies have been paid; (2) (a) were the Mikondzo events that were managed by the companies separate from the events laid out in her reply to question 2019 and (b) from which (i) budgeted line item and (ii) programme was the budget for the companies reflected?
Reply:
1. The difference is as a result of Mikondzo events which were held in the beginning of the financial year, before the companies were accredited. The response to Parliamentary Question 2018 indicated all the amounts paid to the accredited companies, from the date of their accreditation in June 2016 and also included one event which was held on 12 May 2017, which is in fact in the 2017/18 financial year.
The response to parliamentary question 2019 is not complete, and the amounts indicated are not accurate. I apologise for the inaccurate information submitted.
2. The Mikondzo events managed by the accredited companies were not separate to those indicated in the reply to question 2019. However, as indicated, the response to parliamentary question 2019 was not complete.
The amounts paid to the accredited companies were funded from the retained surplus within SASSA, and therefore did not reflect on the budget.

Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
(1)With regard to the sale of rhino horns by a certain person (name furnished) during the online auction sale held from 21-24 August 2017, what is the total number of (a) permits that were issued by her department, (b) rhino horns or part thereof that were sold; (2) were any rhino horns or part thereof sold to the international community members; if not, what measures will be implemented to ensure that rhino horns or part thereof never leave the borders of the country; if so, (a) why, (b) what are the names of the buyers and/or bidders?
Reply:
(1)
(a) 1 permit to sell 264 rhinoceros horns and 7 permits to buy rhinoceros horns
(b) No horns or parts thereof
(2)
(a) As indicated above, no horns or parts thereof were sold during the auction. The following measures are in place to prevent and detect illegal activities:
- Environmental Management Inspectors (EMIs) monitor compliance to the buying permits as well as the possession permits that will be applicable to the horns. Through the permitting system we are able to track the movement of the horns and conduct inspections on a regular basis to monitor that these are horns have remained in the country;
- We have improved the ability to track the movement of rhino horn through the implementation of a national database and systems relating to the marking of rhino horn and genetic profiling;
- The Department’s Environmental Management Inspectorate (EMI) works in collaboration with other government agencies such as the South African Police Service and SARS Customs at international airports and at border posts in order to combat the illegal import and export of wildlife products. Having enforcement officials at these ports has assisted in the detection of illegal goods and identification of possible offenders and continue to do so;
- The Department’s Environmental Management Inspectorate (EMI) has been raising awareness and training border officials on initiatives focused on the Illicit International cross border movement of endangered species. This enhances our efforts to build capacity to tackle the problem;
- In 2017 we also commenced with awareness raising sessions for the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) officials protecting the South African border line to ensure that they are aware of the illegal practices related to smuggling of wildlife and that they are able to react should they encounter smugglers;
- The Department works in close co-operation with enforcement officials from neighboring countries to ensure that they are aware of possible illegal trade and that they immediately inform the department in case of any seizures of illegally traded horn and supply us with the necessary information to enable enforcement agencies to investigate;
- Accordingly, we have improved our detection capability at ports of entry and exit by increasing awareness, human capacity, technology and skills which is evident in the increased number of confiscations, arrests and convictions related to wildlife trafficking.
- Regulations pertaining to certain restricted activities involving rhinoceros horn were developed under section 97 of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004 (Act No. 10 of 2004) to ensure the strict regulation of the domestic trade in rhino horn. Under section 57(2) of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004 (Act No.10 of 2004) specific activities will be prohibit, i.e. the shaving and powdering of rhinoceros horn of Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis bicornis, Diceros bicornis minor and Diceros bicornis michaeli.

Reply:
By way of background, the redetermination of boundaries by the Municipal Demarcation Board during 2013 and 2015 resulted in a decrease of 21 local municipalities from 278 to 257 municipalities (districts, locals and metros). These major determinations were either as a result of amalgamations or the splitting of municipalities and subsequent incorporation into neighbouring municipalities. As a result of the above, there were 26 municipalities whose boundaries were changed post the 3 August 2016 local government elections.
In preparing a response for the Honourable Member, the Departments of Cooperative Governance engaged the 26 affected municipalities through provincial departments responsible for local government.
It must be noted that even those municipalities that indicated that they had made purchases, did not supply all information as requested. The status of responses as provided to the Department is as follows:
