Bara, Mr M R to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
Whether military hospitals are considered as critical infrastructure and, therefore, classified as National Key Points; if so, are all the measures in place to fulfil the prescribed requirements and the concomitant budget allocation?
Reply:
Yes, Military hospitals are critical infrastructure to the Department of Defence and Military Veterans.
The Military Hospitals are not promulgated as National Key Points, but are classified as strategic Military installations requiring more stringent security measures.
The budget allocation to the SAMHS is determined by the total demands and requirements of the entire Department of Defence which as reported is grossly underfunded. The Department has however put measures in place to maintain the operational readiness and integrity of the SANDF even under conditions of limited resources.

Cassim, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
(a) What is the total number of vacancies that currently exists in each branch of the SA National Defence Force, (b) what are the salary levels of the specified vacancies and (c) what amount in remuneration packages will be needed to fill the vacancies?
Reply:
National Treasury’s (NT) final letter of allocation dated 6 February 2017 to the Department of Defence (DOD) confirmed the total allocation towards the payment of compensation for the FY2017/18 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period and has been reduced by R5.5 billion.
Parliament has not reduced the operational commitments of the SANDF and therefore the SANDF cannot withdraw from external and internal deployments without Cabinet approval. It can also not reduce the number of personnel due to the fact that operational commitments will have to be discontinued.
(a) What is the total vacancies that currently exists in each branch of the SANDF?
In the light of the above the DOD maintains its HR strength as on 1 April 2017 (76,645) for the FY2017/18 that resulted in a projected over-expenditure of Rb1,4. These challenges were communicated to NT in numerous communique as well as the monthly Early Warning report. Therefore the DOD does not have vacant funded posts but 29,428 vacant unfunded posts.
(b) What are the salary levels of the specified vacancies?
These vacancies exist in all levels in the DOD, military and civilian.
(c) What amount in remuneration packages will be needed to fill the vacancies?
It will cost the DOD approximately Rb10 to fill these vacancies.

Gqada, Ms T to ask the Minister of Energy
What are the full reasons for the delays in the implementation of the National Solar Water Heater Programme; 2) Whether his department has established working relationships with municipalities to roll out the implementation of the specified programme; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the (a) nature of the relationship that his department has with municipalities,(b) Meetings that have taken place to date; and (c) Decisions that have been made to date resulting from these meetings; 3) Whether he has found that the municipalities are willing to participate in the programme even though it is not generating revenue; if not, what steps has his department taken to encourage participation in the programme; 4) Whether he has found that municipalities have the capacity to support the programme; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the support that the municipalities are providing?
Reply:
In the main the implementation of the National Solar Water Heater (SWH) Programme has been delayed by the need to and meetings, and agree with critical stakeholders such as the municipalities.
1) (a) Following the consultation referred to in (1) above, collaboration with participating municipalities has now been formalised through the signing of Municipal Framework Agreements.
(b) The Department convened consultative meetings with the following municipalities:
- Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (on 03/03/2017);
- Ventersdorp/Tlokwe Local Municipality (on 30/03/2017);
- Bitou Local Municipality (on 09/05/2017);
- uMgungundlovu District Municipality (on 13/11/2017);and
- eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality (on 14/11/2017).
(c) The meetings resolved that:
- Municipalities will:
- Select and propose to the Department the areas in which SWHs will be installed;
- Identify government owned warehouses that are in close proximity to the installation areas;
- Submit databases of job-seekers that reside within, or are closer to, the targeted beneficiary communities; and
- Fast-track the outstanding Municipal Framework Agreements (where applicable).
- The Department will send to the municipalities the technical standards, specification and requirements which will apply to the SWH(s) that are compatible with the climatic conditions of the Designated Installation Areas(s).
3) The municipalities are willing to participate in the Programme particularly because the targeted households are in the main low income segments who also benefit from free basic energy programmes.
4) Most municipalities that the Department has engaged to date have demonstrated capacity to support the programme in accordance with the municipal obligations contained in the Municipal Framework Agreement. For example, some municipalities have provided the Department with the list of installation areas as well as the database of job-seekers, The Department continues to consult and support municipalities that are lagging behind in terms of fulfilling their obligations.

Maynier, Mr D to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether he has entered into any discussion about reinstituting the Counter Money Laundering Advisory Council; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Yes, a meeting was held with the Minister of Justice and officials regarding the implementation of the Financial Intelligence Amendment Act, which included a discussion on the consultative mechanisms to replace Counter Money Laundering Advisory Council. At the meeting it was agreed that an Inter-Departmental Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism Forum be set up to operate initially, to improve the quality of consultation for implementation, after which we will consider how best to legislate such consultation forums.
The mandate of the Committee would be to promote discussion, collaboration and coordination between the relevant law enforcement agencies, government departments and regulatory authorities to ensure that the South African authorities are more effective in implementing both the spirit and letter of the complete legal framework against money laundering and terrorist financing. In addition, a consultative structure to facilitate engagements with accountable institutions in the private sector is also being established, with a Banking Sector AML/CFT Steering Committee already having been established. Treasury has published a consultation document to seek public comments on these new consultation mechanisms We will monitor how well these consultation forums work over the year or two, and thereafter make a decision on how best to formalize the consultation forums.
There is therefore no intention to legislate for the continuation of the CMLAC, as we want to deepen and improve our consultative mechanisms to strengthen implementation. The CMLAC played a significant role in the drafting of the initial regulations of the FIC Act when it was first enacted in 2003, but was not as effective as a forum for implementation. This was pointed out in the explanatory memo of the Amendment Bill when it was tabled in Parliament in 2015.

Mackay, Mr G to ask the Minister of Energy
(1) What are the details of the (a) processes followed to appoint a certain person to a certain position (name and details furnished),(b) criteria that need to be met to fill the chairpersonship and (c) energy –related qualifications that the specified person holds to be a suitable candidate to fill the role in a specialised energy-related entity; (2) whether the specified position was advertised before the specified person was appointed; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether the Minister of Science and Technology was consulted before the specified appointment was made as required by the National Energy Act ,Act 34 of 2008; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1.The details are outlined below.
a) The process followed to appoint Dr Ingrid Tufvesson to the SANEDI Board is the process outlined in section 8(2) of the Nuclear Energy Act.
b) The National Energy Act does not specify any particular criteria that must be met to fill the Chairpersonship, save for the requirement contained in section 8(9), which states that a Board member must have a relevant qualifications and experience or special knowledge.
c) The National Energy Act does not require the SANEDI Board Chairperson to hold specialist energy-related qualifications. However, the Department is confident that Dr Tufvesson possesses the necessary skill and experience to provide effective strategic leadership to the SANEDI Board and the organisation.
2. The position was not advertised, as it is not a specific requirement of the National Energy Act that this must take place.
3. Yes, the consultation with the Minister of Science and Technology was not specific to the Chairperson but rather to the Board as a whole as required by the National Energy Act.

(1)(a)How is the loss of scarce skills at 1 Military Hospital being addressed in terms of the Retention of Critical and Scarce Skills Strategy and (b) why is the appointment of medical doctors allegedly being delayed while there is a high vacancy rate at the hospital; (2) has the occupational service dispensation (OSD) been fully implemented at the specified hospital; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) has the commuted overtime of medical professionals in the SA Military Health Service (SAMHS) been aligned to that of the Department of Health; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (4) whether she has found that the (a) current status of OSD and commuted overtime have an impact on the loss of medical professionals in the SAMHS, (b) lack or unavailability of specialised medical equipment deter medical professionals from working in military hospitals and (c) centralised command structure responsible for the appointment of new medical doctors causes the long period of recruitment and deter the retention of critical skills? NW3782E
Reply:
Following the report of the Medical Task Team appointed by the Minister and the subsequent acceptance of all its recommendations, there has been much improvement in addressing the Human Resources challenges at the SAHMS
1. (a) The loss of scarce skills at 1 Military Hospital are managed as a critical issue in the SAMHS. Bilateral meetings have taken place between the SAMHS and the Human Resource Division to ensure the appointment of healthcare practitioners, especially medical officers and specialists.
(b) Collaboration has taken place between the SAMHS and staff of the Human Resources Division to address processes and procedures. The agreements are being enforced and the initial delays in appointment of the capability had been successfully addressed.
2. The occupational service dispensation (OSD) has been fully implemented at 1 Military Hospital in line with the prescripts of the Department of Public Service Administration after a comprehensive audit was performed on the personal files of all healthcare practitioners in the SAMHS.
3. The commuted overtime of medical professionals in the SAMHS are aligned to that of the Department of Health.
4. (a) It is argued that the current status of OSD and commuted overtime do not have an impact on the loss of medical professionals in the SAMHS as application of the OSD and commuted overtime are applied according to the prescripts and procedures that are followed for the National Department of Health.
(b) The lack or unavailability of specialized medical equipment does impact on the recruitment and retention of medical professionals for utilisation in the military hospitals.
(c) As was indicated in Question 3389 1 b the appointment process of medical doctors had been streamlined. Flexible arrangements had been agreed upon to facilitate and are enforced to ensure the speedy appointment of especially medical officers and specialists.

Of the 50 graduates of military veterans’ dependents, as reported in the Annual Performance Report of the 2016-17 financial year, what (a) is the military formation each military veteran was part of, (b) is the total amount of the bursary awarded to each graduate and (c)(i) faculties and (ii) universities have they graduated from?
Reply:
The Number of graduates and other qualifications were 50 for the 2016/17 academic year as per DMV 2016/17 annual report.
(b) The total amount awarded will be difficult to calculate as some students were funded in the middle of their studies as they started before the education support was provided in the DMV. However, on an annual basis, students are funded within the maximum threshold, which was R68 000 per annum in the beggining, and subsequently increase to R72 000 in 2016.

(a) What is the capacity of the reserve Operational Emergency Care Practitioners, (b) has she found that this is a sustainable alternative, (c) was a cost-benefit analysis done in relation to having practitioners employed as permanent employees and (d) does the rule of the 180 days contract apply?
Reply:
(a) The current structure for the Operational Emergency Care Practitioners is not sufficient. Within the budget constraints and the current human resource budget the SAMHS cannot appoint Operational Emergency Care Practitioners in the Regular Force. The Surgeon General had the foresight to train operational emergency care practitioners and translate these members to the Reserve Force.
(b) The training and translation of Operational Emergency Care Practitioners to the Reserve Force are being utilised by the SAMHS as a sustainable alternative.
(c) The utilisation of operational emergency care practitioners from the Reserve Force are more cost beneficial. Furthermore the capability of Reserves also provides a strategic reserve capability to the country of scarce skills for emergency care treatment and assist in alleviating unemployment.

(a) What is the level of medical stock at 1 Military Hospital, (b) why has this indicator been removed in her department’s Annual Performance Plan and (c) what has she found is the direct impact of the medical stock level on soldiers and military veterans?
Reply:
a) The current levels of medical stock in the SAMHS military hospitals including 1 Military Hospital is low as a result of insufficient funding. Funds had been reprioritised within the Department of Defence to procure medical stock.
b) The performance indicator for the ‘Percentage availability of medical stock’ was not removed from the Annual Performance Plan of the Department of Defence. The performance information is merely indicated as classified information as the performance indicator contains information of strategic reserves of pharmaceuticals and medical consumables.
c) The current levels of medical stock could have an impact on soldiers and military veterans in the absence of management interventions and alternative interventions such as buy-outs.

Marais, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
How does the SA Military Health Service plan to mitigate and minimise the outsourcing of critical medical services, which is very expensive, causes in over-expenditure and impacts on delivery of other medical services?
Reply:
Outsourcing is an inherent medical service multiplier. All medical service providers make use of outsourcing to some degree; it is an intrinsic characteristic of the healthcare system. In disciplines where low potential patient numbers can be expected, it makes economic sense to outsource. In some instances, outsourcing is unavoidable. It is, however, true that the figures of medical outsourcing in the SAMHS is high as outsourcing directly coupled to the financial, logistical and human resources of the SAMHS.
The SAMHS will only be able to mitigate and minimise the outsourcing of critical medical services if the total healthcare system could be addressed through an adequate budget allocation. The total healthcare system includes inter alia the replacement of redundant medical technology and medical equipment, filling of all vacant post for healthcare practitioners and critical support staff such as ambulance drivers, the comprehensive refurbishment of military hospitals and other military healthcare facilities and sufficient funds for medical consumables and pharmaceuticals. For a healthcare system to function optimally, all elements (qualified and skilled personnel, suitable equipment/technology, suitable facilities and sufficient budget) must be present. The absence of any of these elements must inevitably result in outsourcing.
Initial steps to address the challenges are being quantified through the Defence Review implementation planning team as part of the implementation milestone 1: Arresting the decline.

Question 2
- 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.

Van Der Walt, Ms D to ask the Minister of Finance
With reference to the reply of the Minister of Public Service and Administration to question 2809 on 2 October 2017 and the announcement during the Budget Vote Speech on 24 February 2016 by the former Minister of Finance, Mr Pravin Gordhan, in which South Africans were informed that the Government will cut its wage bill by R25 billion over three years, (a) how does the total wage bill of the 2016-17 financial year compare to the 2015-16 financial year, (b) how does the first six months of the 2017-18 financial year compare with the first six months of the 2016-17 financial year and (c) what savings in the wage bill have been achieved due to austerity measures since this announcement for each financial year or part of it to date; (2) whether the Government is still on track in achieving its R25 billion savings on the wage bill in the specified period; if not, (a) why not and (b) what steps will he take to ensure that the targeted savings are achieved; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) what percentage of the Government’s total expenditure for the 2017-18 financial year was allocated to wages?
Reply:
1. (a) The wage bill has increased by 8.1 per cent between 2015/16 and 2016/17 financial years.

2. Preliminary indications based on 2017/18 first half compensation spend are that government is broadly on track to achieving targeted savings on compensation budgets. A few national and provincial departments are, however, showing signs of excess pressures on their compensation budgets. The National Treasury will continue monitoring implementation of compensation budgets during the current financial year.

First Matter |
On 7 June 2016, the committee postponed the matter of Mr BN. A month prior to the hearing, the practitioner resigned from the IRBA. Although the IRBA is not precluded from continuing with a disciplinary hearing, albeit the practitioner having resigned, the committee decided not to proceed on the merits but rather to postpone the hearing sine die. However, the committee ordered that should the practitioner re-apply for re-registration with the IRBA at any stage, the case will be re-enrolled for a hearing. |

Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
What number of foreign nationals in 2016 (a) entered South Africa on (i) visitor visas and/or (ii) holiday visas, (b) departed on or before the date on which their visas expired and (c) of each nationality (i) did not depart and (ii) applied for asylum; (2) what (a) plans does her department have in place to find the foreign nationals who did not leave the country and (b) what steps have been taken against the specified persons; (3) what (a) procedures and/or (b) programmes does her department have in place to ensure that visitors depart when their visas expire and (c) is the success rate of the specified procedures and/or programmes in each case?
Reply:
(1)(a)(i-ii) 15,256,170 (total recorded movements for traveller arrivals in 2016 on visitors and /or holiday visas.
(1)(b) 14,988,933 (total recorded movements for traveller departures in 2016 on visitors visas.
(1)(c)(i) The top five nationalities who’s movements indicate they have not yet departed the RSA are:
-
-
-
-
- Zimbabwe: 210,067
- Mozambique: 47,909
- Malawi: 44,818
- Lesotho: 36,244
- Nigeria: 5,509
-
-
-
(1)(c)(ii) The total number of asylum applications for 2016 was: 35,377
The top five nationalities that applied for asylum during 2016 are:
- Zimbabwe: 7,964
- DRC: 5,293
- Ethiopia: 4,754
- Nigeria: 3,276
- Bangladesh: 2 834
(2)(a) The Inspectorate Unit of the department is tasked with tracing persons who remain the country illegally. They conduct regular inspections of places of employment and other institutions. They also undertake tracing projects to locate persons who have overstayed in the country.
(2)(b) Such persons are either charged criminally or deported from South Africa.
(3)(a-b) The department does not allow such persons to apply for change of status in the country. Travellers who overstay the number of allocated days are declared undesirable for a period of 12 months or up to a maximum of a 5 year prohibition depending on the number of days overstayed in terms of s30(1)(h) of the Immigration Act. The determination of the sanction is derived from the Enhanced Movement Control System (EMCS).
In terms of the prohibition, a traveller cannot under any circumstances re-enter the country unless an appeal for upliftment of the sanction is considered and accepted by the department.
(3)(c) For the period 1 April 2016 – 31 March 2017 a total of 39,894 persons were declared undesirable. Due to the department only collating overstay data from 1 April 2016, it is not possible to provide a year-on-year trend analysis. For the period in question the most common reasons cited for overstaying are based on medical grounds or applicants awaiting temporary residence visa extensions.

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).

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:

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.

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.
