- One invoice relates to relief duty accommodation which is processed up front but is payable in stages as the accommodation is utilised.

NW4143E
Reply:
(a)South Africa’s involvement and engagement in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is guided by the Southern African Development Community (SADC).

HE President Jacob Zuma paid a working visit to the President of the DRC, HE Joseph Kabila, to emphasise the importance of ensuring the elections take place and securing peace and stability in the region.
(b) HE President Jacob Zuma, in his capacity as Chair of SADC, after consultation with outgoing Chair of SADC, in line with the decision of the SADC Summit, appointed former President of Namibia, HE Mr Hifikepunye Lucas Pohamba as the special envoy to the DRC. The special envoy is expected to meet with the DRC
National Independent Electoral Commission (CENI) and the United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) at which point he is due to receive an update on preparations for the General,
Presidential, Parliamentary and Provincial Elections.

Mazzone, Ms NW to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
Whether, with reference to her reply to question 1569 on 6 September 2017, Denel Vehicle Systems deviated from any provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999, on any contracts and/or procurements during the period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details of each case?
Reply:
Yes, all procurement for Denel Vehicle Systems during the period 01 April 2015 to 31 March 2016 deviated from the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999.
Denel Vehicle Systems (DVS), formerly Land Systems South Africa (LSSA) procurements were made as per LSSA company policies which did not fully comply and was not required to comply with the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999 (PFMA). When LSSA was acquired by Denel it was acquired as a going concern and procurement contracts were already in place as was required by operations. Many of these contracts were based on formal supplier agreements and as such it could not be converted to comply with PFMA provisions until such time that these contracts were concluded in terms of its execution and processes and systems are in place which we have achieved. On this basis exemption were requested from National Treasury. Concurrent to the above, new procurement policies compliant with PFMA provisions were instituted at DVS.

Ndlozi, Dr MQ to ask the Minister of State Security
1. Whether (a) his department and/or (b) entities reporting to him procured services from a certain company (name furnished); if so, (i) what services were procured in each case and (ii) what is the total amount that was paid to the specified company in each case; 2. Whether the specified company provided services related to international travel to (a) his department and/or (b) entities reporting to him; if so, (i) what is the name of each person who travelled, (ii) what was the travel route and (iii) what is the total amount that was paid for each person?
Reply:
It should be noted that the SSA has not engaged the services of the company mentioned. Yet, in applying the principles of the broader SSA strategy not to divulge information relating to operations, it is recommended that the following answer be submitted:
- Information relating to service providers to the State Security Agency (SSA) forms part of the broader operational strategy of the SSA and therefore remains classified and privileged.
-
- Information about service providers and details such as travel information are matters that fall in the ambit of national security and therefore excluded from public disclosure.
-
- It should however be observed that the SSA is held accountable on such matters by the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI).

It should be noted that invoices that are unpaid for longer than 30 days are as a result of queries that need to be resolved by the supplier. In the main, the banking details of affected suppliers are incorrect and thus payments are rejected. Legal Aid SA is still awaiting appropriate responses from the suppliers.
C) SIU:
The SIU did an analysis of all invoices outstanding at the end of 30 September 2017 which was the last reporting date of the entity before the question from the National Assembly.
The table below reflects the ageing of supplier balances at reporting date:
Comments:
The SIU had a total outstanding balance to suppliers of R9,1 million at the end of September 2017 of which 77% was outstanding for 30 days or less. The remaining balance of 23% is mainly due to the following factors:
- R700K – Dispute with landlord on water and lights billing without apportionment of costs on tenant shared premises using meter reading as per contractual agreement. All the invoices outstanding for 62 days and more are related to this supplier. Lease rental costs are settled monthly except for the disputed amount. The SIU is in the process of resolving the issue with the landlord.
- R900K – One invoice due to a service provider who supplied the SIU with technical equipment that were going through testing. The invoice was settled in October 2017.
- The balance is mainly made up of supplier of travel management services where third party invoices / statement were outstanding for payment. The SIU has an arrangement with the supplier that invoices will only be settled when presented with third party invoices, e.g. invoices from car rental companies, and a statement of account.
D. NPA
a) The NPA has paid 99.5% of all creditors within 30 days during the 2016/17 financial year. The remaining 0.5% relates to disputed invoices.
b) As at the end of October 2017, the NPA had 12 invoices amounting to R97 512.38 that were outstanding for a period of more than 30 days. Below are the details of the relevant invoices:

Van Dalen, Mr P to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and FisheriesQUESTION
(1) What are the relevant details of the intended composition of the Fisheries Transformation Council with regard to (a) membership and (b) qualifying criteria for election; (2) (a) how will the members be elected and (b) what will their mandate and powers be; (3) what steps will he take to ensure that fishing communities are well represented and that fit and proper persons will be elected, in particular with regard to their (a) status as bona fide fishermen, (b) experience and (c) knowledge of fishing and the fishing industry; (4) will members of the specified council be nominated and elected by the fishing community and industry; (5) will the council be a national council or will it have provincial structures?
Reply:
1. In terms of Section 29 of the Marine Living Resources Act, 1998 (Act No 18 of 1998) (“the Act”), the Minister shall establish the Fisheries Transformation Council (“the Council”) by notice in the Gazette.
(a) Appointment of members to the Council is undertaken by the Minister in accordance with the provisions of Section 34(1) of the Act, which states inter alia that “the Council shall consist of at least five members, including a chairperson, appointed by the Minister for the period determined by him or her, but not exceeding three years at a time”.
(b) In terms of Section 34(2) of the Act, the Minister “shall ensure that the Council be broadly representative and multidisciplinary, with members qualified to make a substantial contribution towards the proper functioning of the Council”. Section 34(4) of the Act prohibits the appointment of any person who has a direct interest in any manner whatsoever in commercial fishing or mariculture. In addition, Section 34(5) of the Act provides a list of criteria that would exclude any person from serving on the Council.
(2)(a) Members of the Council will be nominated by the public or interested parties pursuant to a Notice in the Gazette. Section 34(3) of the Act provides for the nomination of persons who meet the criteria set out in Section 34(4) and Section 34(5) of the Act. The Minister may thereafter appoint such person as may be nominated in terms of the gazetted invitation. The Gazette Notice Number: 41190 dated 20 October 2017 called for nominations and closing date for submission of nominations was 10 November 2017.
(2)(b) Section 30 of the Act stipulates that the main objective of the Council shall be to facilitate the achievement of fair and equitable access to the rights referred to in Section 18 of the Act. The Minister may in terms of Sections 31 of the Act allocate rights to the Council and the Council shall lease rights, according to criteria determined by the Minister, to persons from historically disadvantaged sectors of society and to small and medium size enterprises. In terms of Section 32 of the Act the Council may, subject to restrictions determined by the Minister –
(a) lease commercial fishing rights;
(b) determine the price to be paid by lessees of rights;
(c) determine the conditions applicable to leases granted in terms of this section, which conditions shall govern the circumstances under which the lease may be revoked, cancelled, suspended or altered; and
(d) assist in the development and capacity building of persons from historically disadvantaged sectors of society and small and medium size enterprises.
Furthermore, in terms of Section 33 of the Act, the Minister may issue criteria, guidelines and instructions for the operation of the Council, and determine that the affairs of the Council shall be managed and controlled according to a business plan approved by the Minister.
3. Members of the public, Fishing Associations, Organisations and Industry, Non-Governmental Organisations, Small-scale Fishers, fishing communities, and any other interested or affected persons may nominate any person they feel meets the criteria mentioned above, and who has knowledge and experience of fishing and the fishing industry. It should be noted however, that in terms of Section 34(4) of the Act, no person who has direct interest in any manner whatsoever in commercial fishing or mariculture shall be appointed to the Council to ensure the independence and objectivity of the mandate of the Council, which includes the allocation of leases to undertake fishing. Accordingly, to allow persons who participate in fishing (such as via quotas or processing or marketing of fish) would result in unsustainable conflicts of interest. The appointment of members to the Council will be undertaken in terms of the criteria set out in the Act.
4. Members of the Council will be nominated by members of the public (including fishing communities and industry) and appointment will be made by the Minister in terms of Section. It should be noted that the Minister is not bound by any nomination and that members of the Council are appointed and not elected.
(5) The Council shall exist as a national council as marine living resource management is a national Government competency.

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
(1)Whether, with reference to the amalgamation of municipalities at the time of the 2016 Local Government Elections, capacity assessments for each amalgamation were conducted by the Municipal Demarcation Board; if not, in each case, why not; if so, in each case, what was the recommendation of the capacity assessment; 2) whether each recommendation was followed-up by the board; if not, why not?
Reply:
The below response is based on the information provided by the Municipal Demarcation Board:
1. No.

04 December 2017 - NW3705
Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
(1)Whether her department is taking steps to ensure that there are more voting stations situated at overseas venues, where a sufficient number of South Africans live and are registered; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) what has she found to be the number of citizens that constitutes a sufficient number?
Reply:
1. Yes. In respect of registration of voters and voting arrangements outside of the Republic, the Electoral Commission works in partnership with the Department of International Relations & Co-operation (DIRCO). Section 33(3) and 33(4) of the Electoral Act 73 of 1998 presently limit points of voting outside the Republic to embassies, high commissions and consulates. This is so because the Electoral Commission is dependent on DIRCO’s available human resources and related infrastructure for registration and voting arrangements outside of the Republic. In the meantime, the Electoral Commission has undertaken a review of procedures for voting outside the Republic in national elections following the 2014 national elections, and plans to approach DIRCO for the consideration of the possible expansion of the number of voting facilities outside of the Republic for the 2019 national elections, where diplomatic missions proved to be inadequate.
2. The operational details of this proposition including the threshold for number of registered voters per voting facility outside of the Republic are yet to be discussed and determined.

King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Police
What measures has his department put in place to mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks in the country?
Reply:
The Republic of South Africa’s national security, economic prosperity and social wellbeing is critically dependent on Information Communication Technology (ICT) that is safe and secure. Big and small enterprises, governments, as well as private internet users are facing similar threats in cyberspace.
The South African Police Service (SAPS), recognises, as a high priority, the value of being able to detect, prevent, combat and investigate the pervasive cybercrime threat and in particular, cyber-attacks on critical information infrastructure.
The protection of critical infrastructure, such as electricity, transportation and banking against cyber threats is essential to our daily lives and the vulnerability to attack and exploitation of these systems is a real threat.
The SAPS therefore created capacities and capabilities, strengthened by continuous interaction and co-operation with intelligence agencies, International Law Enforcement Agencies and Prosecutorial Authorities, to provide a national, co-ordinated response to the most serious incidents of cybercrime occurrences.
The SAPS has well equipped cyber investigation support centres at national level, capable of providing digital forensic support in cybercrime and cyber-related investigations. These capabilities are also available in some provinces and the current focus is to ensure the roll-out to all provinces.
Furthermore, the SAPS and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), are engaged in a research project, to continuously enhance strategies and training frameworks to effectively detect, combat, prevent and investigate cybercrime.

- (a) New 5.94km long 400mm diameter steel pipeline starts from the connection point at Parma to the water treatment works site in Hoedspruit. The original scope of works as contained in the Technical Report was to treat raw water at Hoedspruit Water Treatment Works that was proposed to be built, however; the water will now be sourced from Blyde River and be treated at the new treatment works situated at Kampersrus.
2. Refer to the response provided in (1) above.

Notes: Reasons for delays with settling the invoices
Nemisa
The reasons for the delays relates to dispute of invoices between supplier and end user; procurement documents not made available to finance to support the expenditure; dispute of rental to be paid as charged by Landlord
BBI
The 52 invoices are primary made up of 43 Tourvest invoices of which invoices have queries and once resolved will be paid.
SAPO
The invoices have not been paid due to the constrained cash flow position of both SAPO and CFG.
USAASA
The invoices not paid for more than 30 days relates to travel agents. The delays are as a results of the prolonged time to resolve queries with the service providers relating to i) lack of supporting documents provided by service providers, ii) rates charged on invoices not agreeing to quotations. The amount outstanding relating to rental of office printers was withheld due to non-completeness of services.
SENTECH
Invoices under query due to dispute over contractual assessment rates, Invoice under dispute due to rate of exchange, Invoice under dispute due to rate of exchange, Pre- payment Unreconciled due to price fluctuations in diesel, Refund from Avusa, Current invoice to be paid end of November, Incorrect Posting SAP, Masterdata (banking details) under query,
SITA
Note 1: 43 invoices amounting to R166 625 437.65 relates to Microsoft Ireland that SITA procured on behalf of consumers. SITA only pays Microsoft once the money is recovered from the customers. Of this 15 invoices amounting to R128 812 016.37 is about 120 days.
This arrangement is in place as part of SITA’s cash flow management in order to align cash inflows with cash outflows.
Note 2: 107 invoices amounting to R75 703 394.57 included in the amount over 120 days relates to disputes that are subject to formal investigations and are therefore disputes.
Payments are only processed after the formal investigations are finalized and any related disputes are resolved in line with best practice and also to ensure compliance with the PFMA.
Note 3: 580 invoices included in the amounts over 120 days amounting to R73 703 694.23 relates to disputes with suppliers that are in the process of being addressed with the specific suppliers
This relates to various disputes with specific suppliers. Invoices related to these disputes will be paid as soon as disputes are resolved in line with pest practices and also to ensure compliance with the PFMA.
Note 4: The rest of the invoices relates to operational reasons that are being addressed. The balance of invoices outstanding for longer than 120 days are 80 invoices amounting to R14 000 408.80. This small number of invoices requires further follow-up and verification before they can be paid.

Khawula, Ms MS to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
Whether (a) her department and/or (b) any entity reporting to her own land; if so, in each case, (i) where is each plot of land located, (ii) what is the size of each specified plot and (iii) what is each plot currently being used for?
Reply:
a) The Minister hereby submits the land register which carries the DWS immovable water infrastructure. The land assets are grouped per type of use and are based on representative land areas that the DWS requires to host, access and maintain these assets. The fair values were calculated using representative land costs for urban and rural settlement areas, open rural land and tribal land.
The DWS is currently busy reconciling this register with the available title deeds, which is a time-consuming process, considering that not all title deeds and Surveyor-General (SG) diagrams are electronically available and that many of the tribal land areas still need to be formalized. The land asset register has been developed on the basis of control other than ownership.
The type of land ownership comprises: (Land Asset register attached)
- State owned land where the DWS or DPW own the land due to permanent use such as:
- Dam basins to store water and to cater for increased dam levels during flood events.
- Administrative buildings such as offices, residential housing, workshops and stores.
- Special facilities such as pump stations, water treatment works, reservoirs and wastewater works.
Servitudes on private and tribal land to carry the following types of infrastructure and to provide access to this infrastructure for operation and maintenance purposes:
- Canals
- Pipelines
- Tunnels
- Access roads to dams and other buildings
Servitudes for “backwater” events, when water levels in rivers exceed the normal flood lines due to the backwater effect of dams. These are only applicable upstream of dams.
b) The land area was calculated using the definition of control, meaning the minimum area that is required to accommodate the above water storage at dams, access to bulk distribution infrastructure and flood events.

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
Whether he received any documentation from provincial Members of the Executive Council responsible for cooperative governance in terms of (a) section 137(1) and (2) and/or (b) section 139 (1) and (2) of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, Act 56 of 2003, in each of the past three financial years; if so, in each case, (i) which municipalities were affected, (ii) what was the date on which he received the documentation, (iii) what was the nature of the financial problem and (iv) what steps were taken in each case?
Reply:
(i) According to the records at the disposal of the Department, we only received documentation in respect of interventions in Kannaland and eDumbe local Municipalities in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, respectively.
(ii) The dates on which the documentation was received were 10 February 2017 and 23 May 2017 for Kannaland Local Municipality, and 30 August 2017 for eDumbe Local Municipality.
(iii) The nature of the financial problem at Kannaland Local Municipality was that the audit finding from the Auditor General for the financial year ending in June 2016 indicated that the municipality received an adverse finding, and that subsequent facts had confirmed that the municipality was experiencing a serious financial crisis which resulted in it being unable to meet its financial obligations. Regarding eDumbe Local Municipality, the nature of the financial problem was that the municipality’s cash flow situation had seriously deteriorated to the extent that there were insufficient funds to pay for critical operational expenditure.
(iv) From the documentation submitted by the Western Cape Minister for Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, Honourable Mr Anton Bredell, the initial step taken was the resolution by the Provincial Executive adopted on 07 December 2016 to request the Provincial Treasury to prepare an appropriate financial recovery plan for the Kannaland Local Municipality. In addition, his Department and the Provincial Treasury were requested by the Provincial Executive to develop and implement a targeted support package to address the needs of the municipality. Several subsequent steps have since been taken by the Provincial Executive to assist the municipality to overcome its shortcomings, and these include the preparation, finalization and adoption of the municipality’s financial recovery plan which is currently being implemented, as well as the Financial Management Grant funded by the Provincial Treasury.
From the documentation submitted by the KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Honourable Ms Nomusa Dube-Ncube, the step taken was the resolution by the Provincial Executive adopted on 19 July 2017 to intervene at eDumbe Local Municipality in terms of section 136(2) of the MFMA, read with section 139(1) of the Constitution, and to authorize the MEC to appoint a suitably qualified Financial Administrator to draft and implement a recovery plan in the municipality. Another step taken by the Provincial Executive was to issue a directive in terms of section 139(1)(a) of the Constitution to the Municipal Council to authorize the Financial Administrator to, among others, take all decisions in relation to the finances of the municipality and to report monthly thereon to it and the MEC.

(2) The Electoral Task Team was established by Cabinet in 2002. The Task Team was unable to reach consensus and in consequence, two reports were presented. A majority report advocated for change in the electoral system and the minority report argued for the retention of the extant electoral system. As far as the Electoral Commission is aware, neither of the recommendations of the Majority or Minority Report of the Electoral Task Team was formally adopted and implemented. It is the prerogative of Cabinet to process the recommendations, and any consequential actions therefrom arising.

King, Ms C to ask the Minister of State Security
What measures has his department put in place to mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks in the country?
Reply:
1. South Africa’s response to cyber threats and in particular the role played by SSA in mitigating the impact of cyber-attacks in the country is articulated in the National Cyber-security Policy Framework (NCPF) for South Africa approved by the Cabinet in March 2011.
2. The Cyber Security Centre (CSC) in the SSA has been established as an initiative of Government to anticipate where cyber-attacks in the country or to national critical information infrastructure (NCIIs) may originate with a view to adapting defence strategies in order to mitigate the impact and respond to new cyber threats. The aim is to provide cyber situational analysis and a coordinated approach to incident response; and to promote cyber security knowledge and awareness.
3. The CSC underlines Government’s determination to provide enhanced and integrated readiness to mitigate cyber security threats and attacks in the country in a bid to maintain the country safe and secure. The current centre is meant to provide a coordinated response to cyber incidents affecting national security and in doing so it is envisioned to be augmented by other structures in the country such as the Government CSIRT (Gov. CSIRT), Cyber Security Hub (CSH), National Cybercrime Centre (NCC), Cyber Command (CC) and sector CSIRTs.

Filtane, Mr ML to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
(1) When was she informed of the water crisis at the Butterworth Hospital in the Eastern Cape which resulted in patients being discharged to go home and suffer or probably die; (2) whether she notified the essential services such as the Butterworth Hospital of the water shortage; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether her department has taken any urgent steps to address the water crisis in the specified hospital in order to avoid the loss of lives; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
(1) On 24 January 2017, I was informed of the water crisis pending drought disaster not limited to the Butterworth Hospital but for the entire Butterworth in the Eastern Cape. The Amathole District Municipality (DM) re-declared the drought in January 2017.
(2) Yes, essential services such as the Provincial Department of Health was kept abreast of the unfolding disaster through stakeholder meetings which included the Provincial Drought Technical Task Team, Provincial Sector Departments meetings and Joint Operation Committee meetings held in Butterworth where they were requested to make their own intervention plans as the Amathole DM made it clear that it would not have the capacity to provide the full water demand.
(3) Weekly dam levels have been provided by the Department to the Amathole DM and Provincial Disaster Management Centre. When the situation at Xilinxa Dam supplying Butterworth and surrounding areas became alarming, it was anticipated that it will have serious effect on the hospital and other institutions such as the Walter Sisulu University (WSU) campus. Regular drought water crisis meetings were held with the Amathole DM as the Water Services Authority and other key stakeholders, where they were requested to provide the drought intervention plans.
When the surface water supply to Butterworth (Xilinxa Dam and Gcuwa Dam) ran out completely, the Amathole DM prioritised carting of water to the Hospital. Owing to the logistics and costs of carting water from the nearest alternative source some 30km away, the Amathole DM was unable to meet the full demand at the hospital as well as to provide basic supply to all domestic consumers in Butterworth.
My Department has conducted drought awareness campaigns in Butterworth and has granted permission to the Amathole DM for the re-allocation of the Water Services Infrastructure Grant (WSIG) funding to accommodate emergency water supply in Butterworth through the Butterworth Emergency Water Supply Scheme (pipeline from Tsomo River to Xilinxa Dam), water tankering and groundwater investigations, namely, hydrogeological investigations, drilling, testing and equipping of boreholes at Butterworth, Kotana, Ehlobo, Teko Springs and WSU.
My Department approached the Office of the Premier, Provincial Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) and Provincial Treasury; as a result an amount of R 3 million has been pledged to assist Amathole DM with the drought.
Fortunately the water outage was short lived and the rain which fell from
8 to 9 October 2017 brought relief and the Gcuwa Dam was filled, but the Xilinxa Dam only rose to 7%, which will provide approximately 3 months supply. Butterworth is therefore not out of the crisis yet and needs close monitoring hence my Department has allocated Amathole DM with ten water tankers.
