Air Traffic and Navigation Services SOC Limited (ATNS)

(1)(a) The RSI performance for 2016 was 43 not 34. ATNS is happy to report that the RSI of 43 falls within the tolerable region (risk is manageable with mitigation). The ATNS RSI performance for 2017 is currently 47, an upward trend that we pride ourselves with. This is attributed to various initiative such as Runway safety teams, etc. Most of our Safety events are the Runway Incursions and ATNS is working closely with airport operators and other stakeholders to curb these events.

(b) It must be brought to the parliament’s attention that it was only one year that ATNS could not meet the CAPEX commitment, FY2014/15. The reason for failure to meet the CAPEX commitment was due to the fact that bids received could not meet the empowerment threshold of 51% black ownership as part of ATNS black empowerment and enterprise development strategy. This was corrected by allowing the multinational manufacturers form partnership will local bidders.

(2)(a) The cost associated with the ATNS Gauteng Area Performance Based Navigation Programme (GAPP) is estimated at R250, 000. The costs include the design and validation of Instrument Flight Procedures which is included in the permission process that is approved by the Regulating Committee. The other costs are borne by all other relevant stakeholders in accordance with their mandates.

(b) The South Africa Performance Based Navigation (PBN) Roadmap details the framework within which the ICAO PBN concept will be implemented in the South Africa for the foreseeable future. The Gauteng Area Performance Based Navigation Programme (GAPP) is guided by ICAO guidance material and the South African Performance Based Navigation (PBN). The primary driver for GAPP is to maintain and increase safety, air traffic demand and capacity, and services and technology in consultation with relevant stakeholders.

South Africa under the guidance of the DoT will continue to implement and enhance PBN at all our major airports where there are operational benefits.

Air traffic management (ATM) is the dynamic, integrated management of air traffic and airspace including air traffic services, airspace management and air traffic flow management – safely, economically and efficiently – through the provision of facilities and seamless services in collaboration with all parties. Therefore, we believe that the GAPP under the auspices of PBN will ensure that significant fuel and emissions savings can be realised by an efficient Air Traffic Management system. To ensure the environmental and operational efficiency of air traffic management, the three basic elements of ATM should be addressed and optimised and they are; airspace management, air traffic services and air traffic flow management.

GAPP is just one projects of many that will ensure that we realise full benefits of PBN. The main features of GAPP are:

1. The introduction of new Air Traffic Routes and Procedures
2. The revision of airspace to accommodate the new Air Traffic routes
3. The identification of Airspace and Runway efficiency initiatives

At the end, GAPP will ensure that ATNS assist airline operators and other aircraft operators to fly reduced track miles, thereby reducing Co2 emissions and noise around all our airports. This will result in cost savings by the operators. ATNS also believes that GAPP will enhance our safety performance increase efficiency, especially at OR Tambo which the busiest airport in Africa.

Yes,Robben Island Museum kept detailed records of the passenger lists for each ferry trip that was made to Robben Island over the past three Financial years.

The Passenger lists are stored automatically on the Web tickets Ticketing System for the above periods. When tourists book tickets, all required personal information is entered onto the system, attached to the barcode and assigned to a tour. The system then allows guest lists to be pulled for the required tour.

a) No, the relationship or ratio of teacher to learner nationally or in each province has not been amended.

b) No, the relationship or ratio of teacher to learner on the level of primary and high school has not been amended.

(a)(i) and (b)(i)

The table below shows the latest learner educator ratios in each Province as per the latest official statistics. The existing statistics do not differentiate between Primary and Secondary schools.

(a)(ii) and (b)(ii)

The current practice is based on the Education Labour Relations Council Resolution No.4 of 1995 which stipulated the learner: educator ratio of 40:1 at primary and 35:1 at secondary public ordinary schools. This also informed the principle of maximum class size used in the Post Provisioning Norms (PPN) which ranges between 35 and 37 in Grades R-9 and the maximum of 40 in Grades 10-12. In addition, the Regulations Relating to Minimum Uniform Norms and Standards for Public Schools Infrastructure (GN R920, 29 November 2013) regulates that the maximum number of learners in a class must be 35 in Grade R and 40 in all other grades.

Reply:

a)  The reply was informed by the official data extracted from the Education Management Information System (EMIS). EMIS data on learner pregnancy is generally disaggregated by school and can provide grades of learners upon request, however this will not include their ages. The data shows that 34 learners were reported to be pregnant at Masiqhakaze Secondary while Tipfuxeni Secondary indicated that 5 learners were pregnant. The request for grade specific data has been submitted and this will be shared at the next meeting.

b) Although the Department encourages parents to ensure that learners return to school shortly after giving birth, the Department does not collect data on the number of leaners who actually return to school after giving birth.

c) The Learner Support Agent (LSA) is generally an out-of-school youth (similar to a community Child Care Coordinator, but in this case, specifically for the school) who supports learners with basic services including homework assistance, home visits, and access to learner support and learner health and wellbeing services. They do not directly assist learners to cope with pregnancy. LSAs refer learners to professionals who would grant them access to services where needed. Some LSAs have a professional background in Social Work or Child and Youth Care Work.

1. The expenditure that was deemed irregular was not in respect of a single event. The Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) deemed the appointment of an events management service provider as irregular. The Department advertised the bid for the events management service provider for a shortened period of 14 days instead of the normal 21 days in terms of Treasury Regulation 16 A 6.3 that states, “the accounting officer or accounting authority must ensure that bids are advertised in at least the Government Tender Bulletin for a minimum period of 21 days before closure, except in urgent cases when bids may be advertised for such shorter period as the accounting officer/authority may determine.” According to the AGSA, the reasons provided for the shortened advertising period was not justified. Batsumi Travel (Pty) Ltd was appointed in June 2016 and was thereafter responsible for arranging events for the Department. The expenditure since their appointment amounted to R3.37 million. The irregular expenditure is under review and will be considered for condonement.

(c) The aircraft for which the maintenance contracts have expired since 1 April 2017 and for which the contracts have not been advertised are the following :

- Cessna Citation

- Beechcraft King Air

- Cessna Caravan

- Boeing Business Jet

- Dassault Falcon 50 and Falcon 100

3. Armscor will only re-advertise contracts that will be expiring in the 2017/18 financial year once it is in receipt of valid instructions from the DOD. To date, Armscor has not received any new instructions for the advertisement of maintenance contracts that will be expiring.

Currently the SAAF is undertaking a review of its internal capabilities where an audit of Air Servicing Units (ASU) and squadrons is undertaken to determine what work can be outsourced and can be performed in-house by the SAAF.

At the request of the SAAF, Armscor is also undertaking a review of all SAAF maintenance contracts to ensure that best value for money contracting is undertaken. In this regard, there will be different tenders that are going to be advertised such as ones for material supply, consolidation of different contracts, contracting directly with original equipment manufacturers (OEM) or maintenance and repair organisations (MRO), etc. There will also be new tenders that will be advertised that will ensure that the SAAF internal capabilities are enhanced.

1. (a) Names and designation of current 53 contract employees at the college is attached as Annexure A.

   (b) Of the 53 staff identified:

• Three (3) employees were not on the original list of the college as eligible for permanency;
• Seven (7) employees are foreigners and cannot be made permanent without the relevant immigration documents in place;
• Thirty nine (39) employees did not undergo any recruitment and selection processes as per confirmation with college management and were therefore not eligible in terms of the approved criteria for permanency;
• One (1) employee is currently a substitute with a contract end date and is therefore not eligible for permanency due to the nature of the work and project period; and
• Three (3) employees are above the annual salary threshold as per criteria outlined in section 198(B) of the Labour Relations Act.

2. The following plans are currently in place:

• The college has to confirm the status of three (3) employees who are not on the original list and to apply permanency criteria. Once this is done and if the three employees are eligible, they would be made permanent;
• If any of the seven (7) foreigner employees have since received permanent residence status in South Africa and have valid South African identification they would be made permanent. Evidence to this effect will be required from the college before permanency can be confirmed;
• The Department is in the process of developing a Collective Agreement that seeks to address the issue of staff who had not undergone recruitment and selection processes nationally and the status of the affected employees can only be finalised on the basis of the Collective Agreement;
• The substitute employee’s contract will end once the permanent employee returns to work and this contract will not become permanent; and
• The three (3) employees identified as being above the annual salary threshold cannot be made permanent as the approved criteria do not include them.

3. No documents have been mislaid.

A similar approach of prioritising funding will be followed for the remaining ten new campuses to be built.

4. (a) In terms of bulk services, the Department has conducted a study of each site and in consultation with the relevant municipal authority developed a customised cost effective solution for each site’s bulk service requirement. Provision has been made in the site budget to cover any municipal capital levy costs that may be payable on commencement of construction.

All statutory requirements have been met as depicted in the table below.

(b) There are no action steps outstanding with regard to the construction planning process at this time.

It would be important for the Honourable Member to specify which period the question is referring to.

The National Department of Health in the past used to procure services from this company but their contract came to an end more than 6 years ago.

One staff member was granted permission to participate in her own business, which does not have any dealings with government (selling ice cream over weekends).

Two other staff members were permitted to serve on boards as follows:

• One person was a member of the board of the Government Employees Medical Aid Scheme (GEMS), and
• One employee, who was on a short-term contract, was permitted to continue to serve on the board of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

Provincial Departments do not make provision for budgets for medical negligence claims, due to the fact that Provincial Treasuries discourage budget in this regard as it is treated as fruitless and wasteful expenditure, which requires nil budget and has been treated in that manner in respect of all the relevant financial years.

No, the Minister did not make any remedial commitment.

The department is guided by provisions in the Laws and Regulations that govern the management of Public Finances. In this regard, there are no provisions for insurance related or associated support that can be provided by the department. This position also takes into account the unsustainable nature of such support from a financial point of view. It is for this reason that most travellers procure travel insurance covers, which ensures that they are covered in case of emergencies.

However, the tourist can be offered excursions to attractions, in partnership with other government entities and attractions operators. The role of private sector is also critical when it comes to contractual implications for the tourists in terms of operator/s’ commission and associated package expenses.

The department is currently working with all relevant stakeholders to put together a National Coordinating Forum to ensure a coordinated and swift response to such incidences. Added to that, and in the spirit of caring for our tourists, will be the establishment of a “Victim Support Programme” with the main purpose of providing aftercare support to such victims while they are still in the country. This will be done in conjunction with relevant stakeholders where the department will among other things, facilitate the following:

• Facilitate consular and embassy involvement and contacting families and friends.
• Feedback on the progress regarding the progress on apprehending the perpetrators and bringing them to book will be done through the embassy.

The Province is indeed aware of this challenge and is looking at various options to alleviate this challenge. This problem arises from the fact that the Province has only got three (3) Tertiary hospitals which can be as far as 200 to 300 km from the referring hospital and can take up to five (5) hours to reach owing to the distance and terrain.

In the medium term, the Department plans to develop halfway houses, where these patients would be accommodated in a dignified manner, however owing to competing infrastructure needs, this cannot be achieved in the short term.

Furthermore, the Department is looking at organising an EMS Professional Emergency service that will be flying Scarce Professionals to out-of-reach District Hospitals, that way saving patients who have to travel to the Tertiary hospitals and thus sleeping at the referring hospitals to await transportation.

(1)(a)(2)(a)(b) and (3)(a)(b)(c)

All government departments, including the South African Police Service (SAPS), invite, evaluate and award bids, in terms of the prescripts of the Preferential Procurement Regulations, 2017, issued in terms of section 5 of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, 2000 (Act No 5 of 2000).

Subsequently, bidders are awarded Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) preferential points, in terms of their B-BBEE status level of contribution.

The award for bids is based on the 80/20 and the 90/10 points system. The acceptable bid which has the highest points, is awarded the contract. The ownership of service providers/contractors is incorporated into the B-BBEE certificates, issued by SANAS accredited agencies, which forms part of the formula above.

The following information can be reported for the last five financial years;
