Yes, Military hospitals are critical infrastructure to the Department of Defence and Military Veterans.

The Military Hospitals are not promulgated as National Key Points, but are classified as strategic Military installations requiring more stringent security measures.

The budget allocation to the SAMHS is determined by the total demands and requirements of the entire Department of Defence which as reported is grossly underfunded. The Department has however put measures in place to maintain the operational readiness and integrity of the SANDF even under conditions of limited resources.

1. The Ministry is aware of the trend and is in full agreement that this trajectory must be reversed. The Department’s Medium Term Strategic Framework targets 200 000 students per annum and therefore the Department is within the target range. There are year-to-year variations in the numbers depending on the number of students applying and qualifying. The reduced numbers are attributed to the growing demand for increased allowances from those already funded due to the cost of accommodation and travel. Added to this, the majority of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges were not participating in the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) centralised student-centred model in 2016. In 2016, sixteen (16) Colleges participated in the NSFAS student-centred model and 34 Colleges used an old and outdated NSFAS administrative system to process student applications. The old NSFAS administrative system did not entail verification of students’ supporting documents submitted by various government departments and thus a high number of students were awarded bursaries.

In 2017 the NSFAS centralised student-centred system was rolled out to all TVET Colleges requiring all applications of TVET College students to be processed through the new student-centred model which involves rigorous verification of applications of students. This stringent verification of students’ applications may have attributed to the decreased number of NSFAS beneficiaries in 2017 since many students, especially those who do not qualify for travel and accommodation allowances, are reluctant to complete and sign the bursary documentation. However, it must be noted that NSFAS has not concluded processing applications for 2017 and as such the number of NSFAS beneficiaries is likely to increase.

2. For the last seven (7) years, bursary funding for TVET Colleges has only been increasing in line with the Consumer Price Index. Taking into account the accompanying annual increase in tuition fees, a substantial increase in the number of NSFAS beneficiaries is not feasible from the allocated funds. Therefore, the number of public TVET College students benefitting from NSFAS is likely to remain stable unless there is a substantial increase of bursary funding from the voted funds. Motivations in this regard have been made to the National Treasury to increase the NSFAS allocations to TVET colleges in terms of providing relief to all who qualify for NSFAS support but there is insufficient funding and the current accommodation and travel allowance is insufficient to cover the costs.

(a) The status of the Cato Manor Investigation is that the cases are currently in the Durban High Court pending the determination of a trial date. The case was in court on 10 November 2017 and was then further remanded to 08 October 2018 due to the accused awaiting a separate Court process in their challenge of the racketeering charges authorized by the National Director of Public Prosecutions.

(b) The investigation was completed in 2012 and the accused appeared in Court on the 24 August 2012, after which the case was remanded to the High Court

One of the accused General Booysen then challenged the racketeering charge against him, the Court found in his favour , then the charges against him were dropped.

After the appointment of the new NDPP, Adv Shaun Abrahams, the charges were reinstated. General Booysen now with all the accused are challenging the racketeering charges, hence the case has been remanded to 08 October 2018 to allow that process to be concluded

The Department of Sport and Recreation South Africa spends its allocated budget against line items such as Compensation of Employees, Goods and Services, Transfers to Provinces and Federations, as well as Capital Expenditure.

The Department’s budget is prepared in line with the common budget template that is applicable to all departments. This template does not provide for the divisions that the Honourable Member is seeking. It will however be of interest to the Honourable Member to note that almost 50% of the departmental budget is a grant that is transferred to provinces. In this regard 40% of this budget is allocated to School Sport and 20% to Club Development. Of these allocations, 50% of it has to be spent in the rural areas.

The Number of graduates and other qualifications were 50 for the 2016/17 academic year as per DMV 2016/17 annual report.

(b) The total amount awarded will be difficult to calculate as some students were funded in the middle of their studies as they started before the education support was provided in the DMV. However, on an annual basis, students are funded within the maximum threshold, which was R68 000 per annum in the beggining, and subsequently increase to R72 000 in 2016.

(a) The current structure for the Operational Emergency Care Practitioners is not sufficient. Within the budget constraints and the current human resource budget the SAMHS cannot appoint Operational Emergency Care Practitioners in the Regular Force. The Surgeon General had the foresight to train operational emergency care practitioners and translate these members to the Reserve Force.

(b) The training and translation of Operational Emergency Care Practitioners to the Reserve Force are being utilised by the SAMHS as a sustainable alternative.

(c) The utilisation of operational emergency care practitioners from the Reserve Force are more cost beneficial. Furthermore the capability of Reserves also provides a strategic reserve capability to the country of scarce skills for emergency care treatment and assist in alleviating unemployment.

a) The current levels of medical stock in the SAMHS military hospitals including 1 Military Hospital is low as a result of insufficient funding. Funds had been reprioritised within the Department of Defence to procure medical stock. 

b) The performance indicator for the ‘Percentage availability of medical stock’ was not removed from the Annual Performance Plan of the Department of Defence. The performance information is merely indicated as classified information as the performance indicator contains information of strategic reserves of pharmaceuticals and medical consumables.

c) The current levels of medical stock could have an impact on soldiers and military veterans in the absence of management interventions and alternative interventions such as buy-outs.

1. No tender was advertised, therefore, parts (a) to (f) of the question are not applicable. Ms Thomas was contracted under the single source rules in terms of Supply Chain Management guidelines[1].

2. The National Treasury only has the capacity to undertake some aspects of such study but often for once-off projects that are not planned for, such research would take officials away from other critical work. Furthermore, it was also important to secure the services of an independent expert rather than rely on the JSE or other active stakeholders more directly involved in the ownership debate. This paper is merely the start of a research process on this matter and the National Treasury is in the process of inviting local researchers to peer review the work of Ms Thomas, as well as similar papers available on the nature of ownership of listed companies in South Africa, so as to provide a credible basis for supporting the transformation debate in South Africa.
