(a) Which division of National Treasury handled the awarding of the specified tender and (b) was the Land Bank involved in any way in awarding the specified tender?

(ii) Contact details – Refer to attached Bidder’s List Annexure A.
(iii) Tendered contract prices – Refer to attached Contract Circular Annexure B.
(iv) Nutritional contents of the animal feeds offered in each case – Refer to Annexure C.
2. At the closing date and time of the bid on 27 May 2016, Mr Adam Maniki Rakgalakane was not in the employ of the Land Bank and therefore there was no conflict of interest. Procedurally the company could not be disqualified.
During the due diligence process conducted on 19 October 2016, Rakgalakane Investments cc declared that one of their directors, Mr Adam Maniki Rakgalakane, had since been appointed by the Land Bank on 10 August 2016. The company undertook to ask Mr Rakgalakane to resign without withdrawing its tender, if their company became successful in the bid process. The Bid Adjudication Committee awarded the tender on 28 October 2016. Rakgalakane Investments was one of the winning bidders.
Prior to communicating the outcome of the tender, National Treasury enquired on the status of Mr Rakgalakane and it was confirmed that a process to have him resigning was underway. Mr Rakgalakane had since resigned.

9. Western Cape
Foremost, it must be noted that the Western Cape had adopted a commodity approach, which simply means the province have partnered with commodity organisation and State Owned Entity (SOE) for supporting smallholder farmers.
Therefore, procurement of supplies to the projects within the farmer support programmes in the Western Cape is conducted on an individual basis for each farm separately and no framework agreement or transversal tenders exist. Projects are evaluated on individual basis and support packages are designed for each projects based on the needs. This type of supplies normally goes with a support service in terms of technical and mentorship support to the farmer by the supplier’s representative and commodity organizations, which also provide input support through their levies. For that reason suppliers are sourced from the immediate district of the individual farm, so that the best advice and production support can be supplied locally. Such a relationship strengthens the support network of the farmer, but also enhances mentorship support for smallholder farmers.
This procurement takes place based on the SOE procurement policy that is based on the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPF Act) and Regulations and Treasury prescripts. Amounts are in most cases below R1mill for individual projects. According to the policy for this procurements, 3 quotes are sourced from suppliers and awarded according to the evaluation criteria as in the PPPF Act

I would like to inform the Honourable Member that there are currently only two entities reporting to the Minister of Social Development. The National Development Agency was established in terms of the National Development Agency (NDA) Act (Act No. 108 of 1998). The NDA is a listed public entity (Schedule 3A of the Public Finance Management Act), reporting to the Minister of Social Development. Its key strategic objectives of as prescribed in the Act is to:
- grant funds to civil society organisations for the purpose of meeting the developmental needs of poor communities;
- strengthen the institutional capacity of organisations for long-term sustainability;
- proactively source funds for purposes of achieving its developmental objectives;
- promote consultation, dialogue and sharing of developmental experiences to debate and influence developmental policies; and
- develop strategies to collaborate with local community development trusts, foundations, government clusters and civil society organisations. The key NDA programmes are funding, capacity building, policy and research, policy dialogue, as well as impact assessment.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) was established in terms of the SASSA Act (Act No. 9 of 2004). The mandate of the Agency is to ensure the provision of comprehensive social security services against vulnerability and poverty within the constitutional and legislative framework.
Other than the assets which are verified and listed in each financial year as per the requirements of the PFMA, the two public entities do not have any investments (listed or unlisted as they are established to fulfil a specific function in accordance with their respective Acts.

None of the three positions advertised have been filled as they have only recently been advertised (September 2017). However, two positions have been filled since 1 April 2017, which resulted from advertising in the previous financial year.
(c) what amount was spent on advertising the vacancies that were not filled in each case?
(i) in each of the past five financial years
Please note that the MDDA does not advertise posts individually, but, for cost efficiency, places an overall advert for the vacancies, which directs the applicants to the website for the detailed specification of the posts. Therefore, the advertising cost for 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 is for all the posts advertised and not limited to the amount spent on advertising the vacancies that were not filled.

(e) why were the specified vacancies not filled?
During quarter 1 of 2016/17 (being the period when the posts were advertised), the Board took a decision to start by appointing a CEO who would then appoint the Executive. The CEO took office on January 01, 2017 but left at the end of February 201, which in effect stalled the appointment of the Executive team. After the departure of the CEO, the Board took a decision to proceed with recruitment for the Executive Team.
In addition, the MDDA also took the decision to focus on recruiting only for those posts covered by funding that had been committed at the start of 2016/2017. With the commitment by two major funders later in the year, the focus was intensified on recruiting for all positions in the organogram.

Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Economic Development
With reference to his statement at the 11th Annual Competition Law, Economics and Policy Conference, which took place from 30 August to 1 September 2017, that South Africa loses about R27 billion of Gross Domestic Product and 76 000 potential jobs every year due to corruption, (a) on what research are these figures based, (b) how were the figures calculated and (c) in which sectors of the economy does the corruption occur?
Reply:
The information on the cost of corruption was based on an economic modeling exercise that sought to quantify the cost of the reduction in real capital spending that results from corruption and the impact on decreased spending in the SA economy on goods and services. While the full extent and thus real costs of corruption is unknown precisely because by its nature it is concealed, a calculation was done based on a scenario where corruption results in a 10% increase in costs; this increase was then modeled into the data-sets to obtain GDP and employment effects.
The purpose of the modeling exercise was to show that corruption is not a ‘victimless’ crime and that the opportunity costs of improperly and unlawfully diverting resources for private gain, comes at a significant cost to economic growth, job creation and service delivery. There is a compelling case for immediate and decisive action against corruption, based on the costs it imposes on the economy, on jobs and on the poor. The results of this modeling exercise were referred to in my speech at the 11th Annual Competition Law, Economics and Policy Conference on 31 August 2017 as well as at other public gatherings and were also shared with the Committees of the Economic Cluster, in Parliament, on 10 October 2017.
During my address to the 11th Annual Competition Law, Economics and Policy Conference on 31 August 2017, I noted the following:
Neither corruption in the public sector (with its private sector counterparties) nor collusion between large firms are victimless crimes. Corruption takes resources away from housing, jobs, social grants, education and health facilities. Collusion increases the costs of doing business, it stunts the dynamism and competitiveness that is needed and it has a negative impact on growth and jobs.
A World Bank study on competition in South Africa noted the following:
“In the case of four cartels in maize, wheat, poultry and pharmaceuticals – products which make up 15.6% of the consumption basket of the poorest 10 percent – conservative estimates indicate that around 200 000 people stood to be lifted above the poverty line by tackling cartel overcharges”.
We recently began doing work to quantify the cost of corruption in the public sector, based on just a 10% increase in the price of infrastructure projects as a result of corruption...Based on our modelling, it leads to at least R27bn foregone annually in GDP and the loss of 76 000 jobs that would otherwise have been created. So corruption is not only an ethical issue, it is also a profound issue of delivery, of growth, of servicesw to the poor.
There are some troubling matters to address in looking at corruption and the collusion therewith by professional firms, from auditors to lawyers and others.
The culture of rampant acquisition is spreading so widely that the professional standards of integrity that is a hallmark of functioning institutions, are under enormous pressure. One of its outcomes is a fraying of the social compact that all societies need and unless we act with resolution, we will not build a society that achieves the vision of the constitution, indeed, we will betray it.
There are things we can do, practical things, while the wider battle to ensure integrity in the public and private sectors, is pursued.
One of the provisions in the Construction industry Settlement Agreement that I referred to earlier, is an Integrity Commitment that CEOs of the seven largest companies signed publicly and I want to briefly quote from it:
“ In my capacity as CEO of [name of company], I do hereby declare and affirm that:
- I will conduct business, and will do everything in my power to ensure that the company and all of its associated companies (‘the Group’) conducts business in South Africa, in accordance with sound legal and ethical practice;
- I will not be involved, and will do everything in my power to ensure that no one in the Group is involved, in any kind of bribery, corruption, collusion or unfair means of furthering our business interests;
- I will do everything in my power to intill a culture of integrity, honesty and transparency in the Group consistent with this declaration
- I will develop and actively promote codes of conduct imposing ethical and legal standards on all personnel in the Group that are aligned with international best practice for the construction industry and impose appropriate penalties on those who don’t comply; and
- I will use my best efforts, and take firm steps, in line with and pursuant to my executive management authority, to expose, confront, eradicate and prevent collusion and corruption in the construction industry and in all the construction industry’s dealings with public entities, private sector institutions and with each other.”
