(b) The purpose of accommodation charges, whilst engendering the culture of total
cost of accommodation within user departments, is to collect enough revenue, at
minimum, to sustain the entity’s portfolio at a specific level.

The current rate charged for state owned accommodation is based on the original calculations as performed in 2005 when certain accommodation budgets were devolved to Client Departments. In calculating the baseline information, the Department considered the different facility types in its property portfolio. It was not possible to calculate this amount on a per-property basis owing to the magnitude of the portfolio and the specific information that was not available at that time. This was done for all facility types which resulted in different rates proposed per facility type. The average rate was calculated at R23.74 per square meter (m2).

Although the average rate per facility was R23.74m2, the Department of Public Works could only devolve the funds it had in its Maintenance and Property Rates budgets baseline. The distribution of funds per Client Department had to be scaled down to fit into this baseline and was reduced on a pro-rata basis. The average of R23.74m2 was therefore reduced to R4.74m2 at introduction and has escalated to an approximate amount of R16.00m².

The amount devolved (and subsequently charged back) was not enough to cover the self-sustainable target level. As part of the devolution framework, it was indicated that the Department would have to receive at least a 15% growth on this amount to reach the desired funding level by 2017. At that point, it would be possible to maintain properties at its current level. During the time lapse from 2006 to 2017, the portfolio would further deteriorate except where specific intervention took place. This is referred to as “backlog maintenance” which would be funded separately.

While it is possible to indicate how much each department is currently paying, it is not possible to aggregate the information down per facility or per Province as the amount is paid on National level.

The abovementioned devolution and charge-back methodology is being reviewed currently with a view to align with operatinalisation of the PMTE.

(3) (a) (i) & (ii) A total of 4120 properties are currently not being let out in the various
provices. Refer to “Annexure C_Unutilised Buildings” for the breakdown per
provice.

Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Public Works

Is he aware of any (a) transfers due but not paid over to provinces from his department and/or (b) money from his department transferred to provinces but not paid to municipalities for services, rates and taxes yet; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?

Reply:

a) All transfers have been made in line with the payment schedule as approved by National Treasury. The Department is only responsible for the EPWP Incentive Grant for Provinces.

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. This therefore means that the Department does not make transfers to provinces for property rates and service charges as it is part of their equitable share.

2) All CWP participants sign contracts as part of their initial enrolment in the programme. The process of enrolment, including the signing of contracts by participants, is facilitated by Implementing Agents (IAs) appointed to implement the programme on behalf of the department at each of the CWP sites.

3) Potential participants have to meet three primary criteria before they can be enrolled in the programme: a) They have to be poor; b) They have to be unemployed or under-employed, i.e., employed on a part time basis and being available to work two days a week in the CWP; and c) They have to reside in a ward that has been prioritized by Council for CWP implementation (on the basis of poverty and unemployment levels).

The process of recruiting CWP participants involves a number of stakeholders: i) the IAs are responsible for recruiting participants who meet the criteria outlined above, ii) the Ward Councilors for the designated wards confirm (or otherwise) that the potential participant resides in their ward and indeed, meets the other two criteria and is not better off compared to other potential participants residing in the ward, ii) the Municipal representative on the multi-stakeholder Local Reference Committee (LRC) checks whether the potential participant is registered on the Municipality’s Indigent Register and iv) the LRC which decides on participant prioritization or selection criteria in instances where the number of qualifying potential participants exceeds the target participation rate for the particular site.

In deciding on prioritization or selection criteria, the LRC must adhere to the principles of transparency, fairness and non-discrimination, as outlined in the Recruitment Guidelines for Public Employment Programmes (PEPs) developed by the Department of Public Works’ Expanded Public Works Programme – the coordinating department for all PEPs, including the CWP.

4) (a) During the introductory visit to a new CWP municipality, a presentation

is made to the Municipal Council by the respective provincial CoGTA, IA and DCoG on the CWP - covering its objectives, the various role players, the municipality’s own role in the programme and the initial work opportunity target assigned to the Municipality by DCoG on the basis of the available budget. The Council of the CWP Municipality is then requested to determine the wards that are to be prioritized for roll out in the municipality. This is formalised through a council resolution which also states who the CWP champion in the municipality is going to be. In most instances, on the initial introductory visit, the Council only expresses an “in principle” endorsement of the CWP in their municipality and the desire for the CWP to be rolled out to all their wards. However, a full discussion on the matter is often deferred to a follow-up full sitting of Council where the CWP is further discussed, often without other external stakeholders. In that meeting, the CWP is formally endorsed and a municipal champion named through a council resolution. The outcome of the Council meeting is then communicated to DCoG in writing.

(b) Municipalities (Local and Metropolitan) to which the CWP is introduced are always advised to prioritize those wards where unemployment and poverty levels are highest and where socio-economic conditions are most depressed.

According to the information received from the Province of the Eastern Cape, the CWP in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality is being implemented in the 42 wards listed below:

4, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 35, 36, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58,59, 60.

Whether, in light of the fact that the Mthatha Magistrates Court Building in the King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality (KSDLM) in the Eastern Cape was destroyed by a fire that broke out on 18 September 2017, which led to critical court documents being destroyed (details furnished), there are functional firefighting trucks and/or other relevant equipment in the specified local municipality; if not, why not; if so, why were they not immediately dispatched when the fire broke out in the Integrated Justice Criminal Centre?

Reply:

The National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) interacted with the Eastern Cape Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC) in order to obtain a response to this Parliamentary Question. The reply from the Eastern Cape PDMC is as outlined below:

2 x Medium Fire Pumpers

Structural / building fires

1 x Light Rescue

2 x Light Delivery Vehicle (LDV) firefighting skid units-

Veldfires

b) The KSDLM’s Fire Service could not respond due to the following reasons:

(i) Both the Medium firefighting Pumpers as per above table were not operational due to mechanical breakdowns; and,

(ii) Only one (1) of the two (2) LDV firefighting Skid units was operational but had experienced a problem with the pump on the day of the reported fire incident. It must, however, be noted that this vehicle is not suitable for the use of Structural / Building Fires but only for veldfires.

(a) Why has the biotrade permit number IEP 005 of Schibuna Aloe not been renewed yet despite all documentation being submitted at least five months ago and (b) by what date will the renewal of the specified permits be finalised so that the business can continue to export aloe juice and pay its 213 aloe tappers; (2) what (a) measures has the department put in place to ensure that existing biotrade permits are not reassigned to businesses or individuals that do not comply with all the necessary standards and (b) steps will she take to ensure that the unnecessarily long delays in renewal of permits are resolved more efficiently in the future?

Reply:

(a) Schibuna Aloe’s application was subjected to internal processes which involves the evaluation by the Bioprospecting Advisory Committee (BAC) comprised of internal and external stakeholders and ensuing consultations with the applicant. Upon receipt of the recommendations by the BAC, key fundamental gaps on fair and equitable sharing of benefits with communities were identified which needed further engagement with the applicant.

(b) The issuing of the permit will be finalised as soon as the applicant has satisfactorily addressed the fair and equitable sharing of benefits with communities. (Approval has been given, however, for the applicant to continue with the export of aloe juice in the interim, pending the completion of these processes)

2. (a) The Bioprospecting Access and Benefit Sharing (BABS) Amendment Regulations provide the criteria that must be taken into consideration before a biotrade permit can be issued and /or renewed.

(b) The department places high value on the role of bioprospecting and biotrade in facilitating fairness and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of biological resources. Recent interventions include but are not limited to institutional strengthening, regulatory amendments and enhancement of the assessment processes.

Reply:

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan municipality through the Gauteng Provincial Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs provided the information:

(1) Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Council disaster management vehicles did not respond and arrive on the scene at about 11:30 pm.

Section 49(1) of the Disaster Management Act, Act 57 of 2002 requires municipalities to immediatelyinitiate efforts to assess the severity and magnitude of a disaster. Assessments are conducted in line with disaster management plans developed in terms of section 43. As per legislative requirements and disaster management plans, City of Ekurhuleni Disaster & Emergency Management Services (DEMS) Department`s operational preparedness and response to incidents starts when the first early warning message is received.

In the case of the severe thunderstorm that occurred on 09 November 2016, the first warning message from the South African Weather Service (SAWS) was received at 14:15 followed by another one at 16:32. Immediately after the receipt of the first warning, the municipality`s Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) were activated. These SOP include notifying stakeholders such as the senior disaster management officials, station manager and councilors on the DEMS database about the warning from SAWS and informing them of the activation of the Joint Operations Centre (JOC). Following the occurrence of the storm (which occurred at approximately 17:00), Disaster Management Officials and the Emergency Services Station Managers immediately began to assess the impact of storm all areas including Edenvale.

(2)(a) Ekurhuleni does not have a disaster management depot and is not legally obligated to have a depot.

(b) Legally the municipality is required to establish a disaster management centre in terms of section 43 of the Disaster Management Act, Act 57 of 2002. It must be noted that the offices in Bedfordview are the headquarters of the Disaster and Emergency Management Services (DEMS) department that includes the Disaster Management Division and the Disaster Management Centre.

(3)(a) The City`s disaster management response plans were followed during the flooding. As per legislative requirements and disaster management plans, City of Ekurhuleni Disaster & Emergency Management Services (DEMS) Department`s operational preparedness and response to incidents starts when the first early warning message is received disaster management department.

(i) For the Roads and Storm Water Department, the City of Ekurhuleni annually provides maintenance budgets per region as well as per depot. In the case of Edenvale Roads and Storm Water Depot, the regional amount allocated for 2016/17 for Stormwater maintenance was R1, 327,000. The allocation for maintenance for the depot was R2, 124,000. For 2017/18 financial year, the regional allocation is R1, 381,477 and the allocation for the depot is R2, 200,048. In addition, the DEMS department made available R10 million (R10, 000,000) to the Roads & Stormwater department to rehabilitate some of the damaged infrastructure (i.e. Roads & Stormwater).

(ii) No amount was made available for Water & Sanitation department since the infrastructure there were no significant damages.

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:

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.

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, for which I apologise. 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.

(1)– (3) The Department’s database does not rank the service providers. However, the information relative to the bids awarded by the Department and its entities is published in the media from which they are advertised such as:

  • Government Tender Bulletin
  • E-tender portal (National Treasury)
  • Departmental Website

“If the Departmental budget and the medium-term expenditure framework provide adequate funds, a head of department may establish a financial incentive scheme for the employees or any category of those employees.”

Consequently, an amount of R14, 493,635.57 was paid out in performance incentives to employees on salaries level 2-12 for the financial year.

(2) (a) An estimated total amount of R15 751 095 will be paid out in performance incentives to employees in the Department for the 2017/2018 financial year.

(b) The breakdown of the performance incentives to be paid out to each employee in each salary level for the 2017/18 financial year will be determined as outlined in Part VIII section F1 of the service Regulations, as outlined above.

(a) What are the current arrangements regarding the shared rail infrastructure between the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) and Transnet, (b)(i) how often is the specified arrangement reviewed and (ii) how are such reviews conducted, (c)(i) what is the total length of the shared infrastructure and (ii) what is the length of the rail that has been transferred for use by (aa) Prasa and (bb) Transnet, (d) what are the current financial arrangements in this regard, (e) what amounts were (i) paid to Transnet and (ii) received from Transnet in each month in the past three financial years?

Reply:

a) METRORAIL

PRASA owns the majority of rail infrastructure in the Metropolitan areas, with some rail corridors owned by Transnet on which Metrorail is currently the main operator. Arrangements are as per original allocation of assets in 1990 when PRASA was formed, while traffic over these corridors have changed since 1990 and where PRASA has become the majority user. Metrorail is dependent on Transnet for operational performance and maintenance on these corridors owned by Transnet, as follows:

KwaZulu Natal

  • Umgeni – Effingham – Duff’s Road.
  • Duff’s Road – Stanger.
  • Train control system of entire KZN region controlled by Transnet.

Western Cape

  • Cape Town – Kraaifontein/Wellington/Worcester.
  • Cape Town – Monte Vista.

Gauteng

  • Vereeniging – Houtheuwel.
  • Greenview – Pienaarspoort.
  • Oberholozer – Miday.
  • Meyerton – Vereeniging.

Eastern Cape

  • Entire Port Elizabeth network.
  • Entire East London network.

In coastal regions such as KZN, Western Cape and Eastern Cape infrastructure ownership and train control are regarded strategic assets for Transnet in terms of access to harbours, and in other regions ownership interest for Transnet is driven by control of freight traffic through the PRASA used network.

The current infrastructure arrangements also include 167 stations owned by Transnet and used by PRASA at a nominal lease amount, plus bulk service charges payable to municipalities and recovered from PRASA.

MAIN LINE PASSENGER SERVICES (SHOSHOLOZA MEYL)

The MLPS business has been transferred to PRASA in 2008/09 whereas MLPS is totally reliant on Transnet for track access at market related costs. The MLPS business uses Transnet infrastructure for all long distance passenger rail services and PRASA is totally dependent on Transnet for its service performance and support.

The MLPS business uses 100 Transnet stations, of which some were to be transferred and others leased to PRASA. These arrangements were not concluded and PRASA pays Transnet pro rata usage for bulk services at these stations payable to municipalities.

Usage of shared infrastructure between Transnet and PRASA is governed by various agreements (Interface, Commercial and Safety agreements).

b) (i) and (ii)

Most of the current agreements between the parties have expired, while agreements have been extended until new agreements are negotiated. PRASA and Transnet have agreed to review and rationalise the agreements, including reviewing the original asset allocation between the parties based on the principle of the main user to retain ownership. The process has not been concluded and requires policy interventions on the appropriate model for asset allocation and access charge regimes for use of each other’s assets. PRASA presented that the current market related access charges proposed by Transnet is unaffordable to PRASA. The Department of Transport has commenced with a study on the determination of fair/appropriate access charges.

(c) (i) and (ii)

  • Shared infrastructure Metrorail: 400km.
  • Shared infrastructure MLPS: 6 000 – 8 000km
  • PRASA owned rail infrastructure: 2 200km
  • Transnet owned Freight Rail Infrastructure: 22 000 (including branch lines and heavy haul lines)

(d)

Interface arrangements are governed through access and commercial lease agreements.

A Mutual use agreement governs usage and charges for shared infrastructure between Metrorail and Transnet.

An Access and Haulage agreement governs usage and charges for MLPS, while MLPS is totally reliant on Transnet for network access.

Transnet has been moving to market related rates over the past 5 years. PRASA presents that the proposed rates are unaffordable to PRASA in terms of its subsidy allocations and PRASA has therefore negotiated zero percentage increases since 2011/12 until new agreements are concluded.

Notes:

  1. Transnet’s new price proposals for market related rates include increases of up to 150% on above rates paid by PRASA over the past 5 years.
  2. Due to the lack of funding for the MLPS business over the past 5 years, a considerable debt has been accrued by PRASA and owed to Transnet on the above access/service charges valued at R600m.

With reference to his reply to question 2551 on 4 September 2017 pertaining to the grounding of aircraft on 18 August 2017 and 19 August 2017, (a) why was the SAA aircraft in question not in possession of a Foreign Operator’s Permit, (b) what is being done to ensure that this is not repeated and (c) what audit has been conducted to ensure that all aircraft have up-to-date Foreign Operator’s Permits in future?

Reply:

South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA)

((a) Foreign Operator’s Permits (FOP) are only issued to foreign air operators by the State they wish to operate. In this case SAA needs to comply with other State’s requirements in terms of FOPs. South African air operators needs to be in possession of an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) in terms of the Civil Aviation Regulations, and therefore SACAA does not have a jurisdiction on the FOP issued by Foreign States. The air operator namely, SAA, will therefore be in an ideal position to respond to this question.

(b) Based on the previous response this question will be best responded to by the operator or National Treasury.

(c) The SACAA conducts scheduled and random safety oversight audits and/or inspections on foreign air operators that operate in South Africa. This audit extends to all foreign aircraft flying into and out of South Africa. It is during these inspections that we verify whether the foreign aircraft are in possession of the required permit or generally qualify with all other safety and security regulations in terms of the Civil Aviation Regulations of South Africa.

In addition, the SACAA on 2 August 2017 hosted a Round Table with all Foreign Operators to educate them on all the requirements for an FOP and how to comply with the South African regulations in this regard. NW3819E

b) The data is kept on SAPS CAS system and Department of Justice Register.

(a) Why have the requests for more regular meetings of the Air Services Licensing (ASL) Council not been granted or accredited to, (b) how many requests for additional ASL Council meetings have been received in the past three financial years, (c) why have none of the requests been responded to and (d) what has he found to be the legislative implications of not acceding to the requests?

Reply:

Civil Aviation Branch

(a) The Air Services Licensing Council (ASL) normally meets monthly to consider applications for licenses. In terms of section 8(1) of the Air Services Licensing Act (Act No. 115 of 1990) (hereinafter referred to as “the Áct”), it is the prerogative of the Council to hold meetings at such times and places as may from time to time be determined by the Chairperson of the Council. The Council is, therefore, not required to request approval for the scheduling of additional meetings.

(b) and (c) Meetings of the Air Services Licensing Council are planned and organized monthly over a period of twelve months. Council is mandated in terms of the Act to hold meetings at such times and places as may be determined by the Chairperson, aligned with budgeted funds. Various additional meetings were held during the past three financial years, details as follows: In the 2015/16 financial year, Council held 14 scheduled monthly- and 3 additional meetings (total of 5 additional meetings for the year); during the 2016/17 financial year, Council held 12 scheduled monthly- and 3 additional meetings and in 2017/18 (to date), Council held 7 scheduled meetings and 2 additional meetings.

(d) No legislative implications are inherent in this regard, since all meetings of the Council are conducted within the mandate of the Act.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The Air Services Licensing Council is a statutory body established in terms of Section 3 of the Air Services Licensing Act (Act No. 115 of 1990). The Council is concerned with the licensing and control of the domestic air services. In addition, it is responsible for the promotion of high standards of safety and to ensure that the domestic air services are rendered within the legislative framework.

In terms of Section 7, “A member of the council shall receive, from moneys appropriated by Parliament for this purpose, such remuneration and allowances as may be determined by the Minister of Transport, with the concurrence of the Minister of Finance, in general or in any particular case.” Provision is made within the Branch Civil Aviation’s budget for the normal activities of the Council, which include monthly scheduled meetings as well as a nominal allocation for additional meetings to address licence applications as well as aviation industry-related meetings. Planning of additional meetings and other activities of the Council must, however, be done with due regard to the available budget as well as the cost cutting measures currently in place within the public service.

The Council conducts both scheduled and additional meetings as and when required. Various additional meetings were held during the past three financial years, details as follows:

  • In the 2015/16 financial year: Council held 14 scheduled monthly- and 3 additional meetings (total of 5 additional meetings for the year);
  • During the 2016/17 financial year, Council held 12 scheduled monthly- and 3 additional meetings; and
  • In 2017/18 (to date), Council held 7 scheduled meetings and 2 additional meetings.
