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?

Reply:

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.

Reply:

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.

Profile picture: Maynier, Mr D

Maynier, Mr D to ask the Minister in the Presidency

Whether, with reference to his statement on the Mandate Paper for Budget 2018 on 7 September 2017, (a) the National Development Plan and/or (b) the Budget Prioritisation Frameworks have been adopted by other developmental states; if not, why not; if so, in each case, what (i) is the name of each country that adopted the specified frameworks and (ii) are the further relevant details in each case?

Reply:

Development planning, which can be defined as national level, medium (5-year) to long-term (ten to 50 years) planning is common in what has been referred to as development states, especially in the so-called East Asian Tigers. Latin-America also has extensive planning systems.

Long-term and medium-term plans are developed in some key development states as follows:

In addition to a range of other planning instruments, Singapore’s rapid acceleration was accompanied by a Strategic Economic Plan which “sets the strategies and programmes for Singapore to realise a vision - to attain the status and characteristics of a first league developed country within the next 30 to 40 years.”

In South Korea, the Economic Planning Board was established in 1961 to develop economic plans and oversee their implementation. Five-year plans were developed with regularity from 1962 onwards.

Other developing countries and aspirant developmental states are also well-known for development planning. In 2006 the World Bank commented that Malaysia, one of the countries against which South Africa benchmarked its planning institutions, “has a rich history in long-term planning, having drawn up and implemented long-term national policy frameworks since the early 1970s. Since then, the Government has put into practice a comprehensive planning system of short-, medium- and long-term development plans and strategies, each linked to one another, reinforcing the course of policy directions toward meeting the long-term goals.”

In Chile the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism, in terms of the General Law on Urbanism leads planning through the National Urban Development Policy which provides principles, objectives and actions for the social, economic and territorial development of the country. Medium-term regional (“provincial”) plans, both development strategies defining broad socio-economic objectives for regions and more spatially orientated urban development strategies, are developed in terms of the national policy.

The Mexican national government develops a National Development Plan that is submitted to Parliament and approved and which sets the strategic objectives for the country. This is accompanied by a “General Ecological Spatial Plan” and these set the framework for state spatial developmental and ecological plans which develop strategic programmes for social, economic, cultural and environmental development and principles for land-use.

Brazil has a range of long and medium-term planning and budgeting mechanisms which are defined in its Constitution. For example, related to financing the Constitution specifies a multi-year plan (the “Plano Pluriannal” or “PPA”), the budgetary directives (“LDO”) and the annual budget (“LDA).

Budget Prioritisation Frameworks

Aligning budgets to plans and strategic priorities is critical for implementation of Government policy and plans. Due to contextual and institutional differences the exact mechanisms in different countries to align budgets and national strategic priorities, or a Budget Prioritisation Framework, differ substantially. In various jurisdictions. There is continuing experimentation with mechanisms for prioritisation and alignment. For example, in a 2016 World Bank Public Expenditure Review of Mexico it is recommended that to improve medium-term fiscal management there is a need to improve the links between “pluri-annual fiscal and investment planning and budgeting, managing mandatory expenditures, etc.” and for better “planning and budget integration” also through “developing a vision for the medium-term policy and program prioritization (enhancing the focus of planning, revising evaluation systems, selection of programs, etc)”.

With regard to some of the development states mentioned above:

In South Korea extensive processes are undertaken before budgets are drafted by line-ministries and Medium-Term Expenditure Framework task forces. As was reported in 2013: “The annual budget and MTEF cycle begins in January with line ministries and the Budget Office adjusting the ceilings from those of the previous year as a starting point and setting important policy priorities.”

In Singapore as part of the budget reforms since 1989, “the Cabinet decides on the budget priorities and the total allocations to the various sectors and ministries”.

For Malaysia, the World Bank in 2013 commented that “[i]n addition to defining the targets for the outlined public sector development programs, the five-year plans define the size and budgetary allocation for each of the respective programs over the plan period, effectively integrating the policy prioritization process with the budget allocation process.”

With reference to South and Latin America the bridge between plan and budget is most thoroughly institutionalised in Brazil where the Constitution describes a trilogy of instruments namely a multi-year plan, budget directives and the annual budget and the relationship between them.

(1) What are the relevant details of the shortage of (a) DNA primer kits, (b) sample holders, (c) chemicals and (d) other consumables necessary for DNA analysis at each forensic science laboratory administered by his department; (2) what number of Genetic Sample Processing System (GSPS) machines does his department own; (3) whether each GSPS machine is being utilised at full capacity; if not, why not; if so, what number of samples on average are processed in a week?

Reply:

(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.

Majority of the councillors received the gratuity outcome letters indicating how the gratuity amount was calculated, the gross amount due, the tax amount deducted and the net amount paid to the councillor.
