Questions to Ministers

30 October 2017 - NW2754

Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Public Works

Is there a backlog with respect to any of his department’s (a) essential, (b) major and/or (c) other projects; if so, (i) which projects are affected and (ii) what are the full reasons for the delay in each case?

1. Yes, the Department has identified and programmed backlog in the area of construction infrastructure projects deemed essential to be cleared year on year basis.

2. Definition of backlog:

Backlog in terms of infrastructure projects is defined as a number of projects that remained on planning phase for a period exceeding two years after issuing of procurement instruction and construction projects on construction phase for a period exceeding two years of construction period.

3. Essential and/or Major

The department has no classification of projects. It works according to prioritisation from client departments. Statistics of backlog are as follows:

3.1 Projects on planning stage for 2016/17

Planned Maintenance = 432
DPW Capital = 172
Client Capital = 530

Total = 1134 (Annual target was 15% of 1134)

(a) Performance reported in 2016/17 was 159 representing 14% of 1134. That implies that 94% of the annual target was achieved.

(b) Annual target for 2017/18 remain 15% (146) of the 975 remaining backlog in line with availability of budget from clients for the construction phase.

3.2 Projects on Construction Phase for 2017/18

Planned Maintenance = 24
DPW Capital = 3
Client Capital = 17

Total = 44

4. The annual target for 2017/18 is 75% (32) of 44 backlog projects identified and programmed.

5. Backlog projects in construction phase is caused by under-performance of contractors appointed for execution of the work, heritage compliance requirements, litigation processes, contract disputes and subsequent cancellations. Normal process of sourcing the replacement contractor had to be followed without deviation. In terms of CIDB regulation the department can only initiate the appointment of a replacement contractor after six months of cancellation. This waiting period contributes to backlog statistics.

6. These challenges will be addressed by the infrastructure delivery management system (IDMS) which the department is in the process of institutionalising and establishment of pre-approved panels of contractors and consultants.

7. Please find attached hereto a list of projects identified as infrastructure backlog of projects in construction phase for 2017/18 and projects that were on planning phase in 2016/17 and full reasons for the delay in each case.

Mackenzie, Mr C to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services

Whether, since 1 January 2016, the Postbank has ever been approached by any (a) member of and/or (b)(i) person and /or (ii) business associated with any member of a certain family (name furnished) to provide banking facilities either on a personal or commercial level; if so, what are the details of (aa)(aaa) persons and /or (bbb) businesses that applied for banking facilities and (bb) banking facilities were applied for each case?

Having been advised by SAPO, the Minister hereby seeks to amplify the reply to the question as follows:

No member of the Gupta family approached the Postbank to open up an account.

An employee from JIC Limited approached the Postbank’s Head of Sales and Customer Care telephonically in August 2016 to open an account. The Postbank requested details of the company and financial statements. Upon receipt of this information, Postbank established that JIC Limited is part of the Oakbay Investments (Pty) Ltd.

The Postbank responded that it did not have capabilities to service corporate accounts such as risk management, IT infrastructure for large volumes, corporate electronic banking, corporate products such as Forex, trade finance, corporate lending, etc. Currently the Postbank mainly services individuals, SMME’s and small scale NGOs.

In 2017, a secretary of ANN7 called the Postbank with an intention to open a corporate account. Postbank responded that they were unable to do so at this stage for the same reasons as were presented in 2016.

Mackenzie, Mr C to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services

What are the relevant details of the minimum standard set by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) for mail delivery times for letters and parcels received from the United Kingdom; 2. What are the relevant details of the average mail delivery times of the SA Post Office for (a) letters and (b) parcels received from the United Kingdom to addresses in (i) Cape Town, (ii) Johannesburg and (iii) Durban?

I have been informed by SAPO as follows:

1. The minimum standard set by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) for mail delivery times for letters and parcels received from the United Kingdom is 90 percent and is measured as follows: Parcels and Letters = Day of Arrival plus 5 days. The minimum standard set by the UPU for registered letters and parcels received from the United Kingdom is 80 percent and is measured as follows: Registered items = Day of Arrival plus 7 days.

2. SAPO’s average mail delivery times are: (a) 37 days for registered letters and (b) 28 days for parcels.

SAPO has informed me that due to the backlogs SAPO is not meeting the UPU delivery standards and they attest this mainly to the increase in imported volumes which is growing year on year in excess of up to 400%. SAPO has also committed that processes are being amended currently to improve the entity’s ability and capacity to handle the increased volumes.

2(i)(ii)(iii) The Quality Control System (QCS) governed by the UPU, does not indicate delivery times separately for Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. However, the variance between the three areas could be estimated to be three days which is already included in the averages indicated above.

Reply:

(a) The total cost for the Hydro Power project including (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Automation) amounted to R 2 604 215.00, this cost includes a Turbine which cost R1 000 000.00.

(b) An average monthly saving of R2 528.93 has been realised towards the Electricity costs of the Bloem Water Head Office block, these has been realised since the Hydro Power has been operational; especially during peak months of the winter season from 2016 to date.

(c) A total savings of R40 462.84 has been realised in the past 16 months, this includes the months where the Hydro Power was not operational because of the maintenance or repair activities.

(d) The total running costs, including repairs and maintenance over the past 16 months is R 162 721.00 [this includes some of the changes made during the first year of implementing the project where operational challenges were experienced as it was the first time such a project is implemented at any organisation (technology wise) in South Africa].

(e) The Brandkop Hydropower plant is a research project launched by Bloem Water in partnership with the Water Research Commission (WRC) and the University of Pretoria capable of producing 90kw/h of electricity used by the Head Office of Bloem Water. This is achieved through the use of the purified water passing through the pipeline before entering the main Reservoir Brandkop. The quality of treated water during the process is not compromised. The entire operation is controlled and monitored automatically by means of Programmable Logic Controllers and Telemetry systems which are operated at one of Bloem Water’s Treatment Works (Welbedacht Dam 150km away) by Process Controllers 24hrs, 7days a week.

1. According to our database, we do not have any records of land claim lodged on the farm Haakdoornkuil 323 KR and the Office of the Regional Land Claims Commissioner: Limpopo received a land claim lodged by Kekana Matsobane Petrus on behalf of Motekwana Community on the farm Klipfontein 322 KR.

The said land claim was received on the 20th of November 2014, such land claims are not being processed due to the outcome of the Constitutional Court ordered that the claims that were lodged between 1 July 2014 and 27 July 2016 are validly lodged, but it interdicted the Commission from processing those claims until the Commission has finalised the claims lodged by 31 December 1998 or until Parliament passes a new law providing for the re-opening of lodgement of land claims. Parliament was given until 27 July 2018 to pass such a law.

(1)(a) Five (5) A330-300s.

(1)(b)These aircraft are deployed on Johannesburg-Accra/Washington, Johannesburg-Sao Paulo, Johannesburg-Dakar/Washington, and Johannesburg-Lagos routes.

(2) These aircraft replaced the two(2) A340-600s (to be returned to the lessors at the end of the lease contract in January/February 2018 and five(5) A340-300s aircraft that are more than 15 years old. SAA had heavy maintenance checks due on the existing fleet so the available flying time on the A340-300s, because of the introduction of the A330-300s, has enabled SAA to comply with the maintenance schedule as well as to adhere to the published operating schedule.

(3) Yes. The A330-300 can operate direct/non-stop flights between South Africa and Europe, South America and the African Countries. These aircraft are not an ultra-long range and can therefore not be able to fly directly to North America. North American routes are ultra-long, with more than 12 hours of non-stop flying. These routes are serviced via Accra and/or Dakar.

(4) No additional flight and/or cabin crew were employed to service the A330-300s nor was extra training required to manage the fleet change. These types have the same crew ratings as the existing fleet.

(1)(a)(b)(c)(d)

a	There is no shortage of DNA reagent kits, for analysing DNA samples. However, there is currently a shortage of DNA buccal sample collection kits, which are used to collect buccal samples from persons arrested and charged for schedule eight offences, in accordance with the DNA Act.
b	There are no shortages of sample holders.
c	There are no shortages of chemicals.
d	There are no shortages of other consumables, necessary for DNA analysis.

(2) and (3) The Forensic Science Laboratory had one functional Genetic Sample Processing System (GSPS), which was installed in 2006, for DNA analysis in the Biology Section, Arcadia. The GSPS reached the end of its life cycle, several years ago and is no longer utilised. The GSPS equipment was decommissioned, due to old technology and unavailability of maintenance/service by service providers. The GSPS has been replaced with semi-automated DNA analysis equipment, to analyse crime scene and buccal samples. The semi-automated equipment is proving to be very effective and is significantly more cost effective than the GSPS.

I have been informed by the Department as follows:

1. No bonuses have been paid out so far as the Department is at the last stage of finalising the payment of performance bonuses for the 2016-17 financial year.

2. The estimated amount and detailed breakdown of bonus payments is unknown at this stage because the first bi-annual performance review documents in respect of each employee for the 2017/18 financial year was submitted on 13 October 2017, and the annual appraisal documentation to conclude the performance cycle of 2017/18 will be submitted in April 2018. Accordingly, the Department will not know who will qualify for what until the end of the cycle when the Performance Moderating Committees will convene to moderate the performance of employees.

There are 12 councillors which are still not paid by the Department, the reasons varies to tax related challenges, inactive tax numbers, incorrect tax numbers and deceased former councillors. Therefore, the councillors and the families of the deceased councillors need to visit SARS offices to solve these tax problems. The Municipalities which are affected are, Moretele, Cederberg, Mahikeng, Theewaterskloof, Ekurhuleni, Westrand, Mamusa, Randfontein, Amahlathi, Ngwathe, Modimolle, City of Cape Town and Greater Tubatse.

The councillors will be paid immediately upon resolving their tax challenges with SARS and submit a proof thereof.

Provincial Departments of Health are in the process of expanding this to primary health care facilities external to the NHI Pilot Districts.

(iii) The System consists of the following components:

1. Rationalise the number of Reception areas in the facility to one reception area;

2. Installation of Bulk Steel Filing Cabinets that can lock and are compliant with the minimum standards for the safe storage of documentation and allow for the fast retrieval of files;

3. The Department of Health has developed an electronic software that allows for a computer-generated Patient Folder number that is Facility Specific, gives the indication of where the Folder should be filed and retrieved in or from the bulk filing cabinet and allows for the Uniform Implementation of the Patient File Management System in the different PHC Facilities;

4. The Department, through an 18-month process of consultation and testing, has developed a Standardised Patient Folder in the form of a Booklet for Patients using PHC facilities. Separate standardised Patient Folders for Male, Female and Children has been developed and has been implemented at facilities.

#	AREAS AFFECTED	NUMBER OF POWER OUTAGES PER FINANCIAL YEAR
		(aa) 2015-2016	(bb) 2016-2017
a	Marlands	4	21
2	Sunnyridge	19	20
3	Both Areas Affected at the same time (upstream substation trip)	18	9

Summary for 2015/2016

Marlands areas affected by power outages 22 times (4+18=22)

Sunnyridge areas affected by power outages 37 times (19+18=37)

Summary for 2016/2017

Marlands areas affected by power outages 30 times (21+9=30)

Sunnyridge areas affected by power outages 29 times (20+9=29)

Therefore, Marlands areas were affected 52 times in 24 months while Sunnyridge areas were affected 66 times in the same period. It must however be noted that not all customers were always affected at the same time. The customers were only affected as-and-when the circuit feeding them faulted which differed in frequency.
