Chance, Mr R to ask the Minister of Small Business Development
(1)What are the total monthly running costs of the office of the eThekwini’s Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA); (2) whether he has found that the allegations of nonpayment of staff salaries are true; if not, what steps are being taken by her department to discipline a certain person (name furnished) for alleged irresponsible public statements claiming that lack of funding of the specified SEDA office led to the specified person taking a personal loan to pay staff; if so, what steps are being taken by her department to regularise payments to the office?”
Reply:
1. The Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) does not readily have the breakdown of actual total monthly costs of the office of the SEDA eThekwini.
As an explanation to the above, SEDA eThekwini is non-profit entity separate from the SEDA network under the Department of Small Business Development (DSBD). SEDA eThekwini is owned by eThekwini Municipality where it possibly submits monthly management accounts. SEDA’s Memorandum of Agreement with SEDA eThekwini is to a maximum of R936 250 per quarter, totalling R3 745 000 per annum and this is primarily a client services performance based with quarterly and annual performance reviews. SEDA’s funding does not make up total funding to Seda EThekwini.
2. As explained above, SEDA’s relationship with SEDA eThekwini is limited to that of a funder, therefore cannot effect disciplinary processes over SEDA eThekwini personnel. Having been informed through media reports on allegations of non-payment of staff and funding of SEDA EThekwini’s office through personal loans, SEDA sought clarity on the matter from eThekwini’s Board of Directors. Following from these engagements, a report is expected from SEDA eThekwini Board. An agreement has already been reached with SEDA eThekwini Board for a due diligence audit to be conducted as part of the current financial year conditional funding agreement.

Reply:
(1) Incentive programmes are cost sharing and reimbursable grants dependent on investments made by enterprises. The expenditure on incentives by its nature is linked to the business cycle of enterprises as well as the timing of investments and commissioning of assets and infrastructure. To date Critical infrastructure has spent R90 million, Manufacturing Development Incentives R856 million, Service Sector Development Incentives R308 million and Special Economic Zones Programmes R220 million.
(2) Incentive claims are payable once all performance criteria agreed at application are met and verified. In addition compliance documentation as outlined in the guidelines must be submitted. Given that payment of claims is performance based, there is usually a disjuncture between projections and actual expenditure. This disjuncture is normalized by year end resulting in the division spending all its allocated budget as it has been the case in previous financial years. The division engages with approved enterprises throughout the claim cycle to ensure that performance criteria are met and required documentation is submitted timely.

Meshoe, Rev KR to ask the Minister of Labour
Whether the Government has any plans to reduce damage caused by frequent strikes, which according to her department are harming the economy and the labour force and in view of her department’s latest report on industrial action in which it is stated that the labour economy lost approximately R161 million through work stoppages in 2016, which represents an increase from R116 million in 2015; if not, why not; if so, what plans? (
Reply:
1. In terms of section 23 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, every worker has the right to strike. The right to strike is regulated by the Labour Relations Act which sets out the procedures for orderly strike action as well as limitations on the right to strike. Therefore any steps taken by Government in relation to strike action must be cognisant of the constitutional and legal framework surrounding strikes.
2. In February 2017, after lengthy engagement in the National Economic Development and Labour Advisory Council (NEDLAC), Government, organised business, organised labour and the community constituency signed an agreement on labour market stability and wage inequality. One of the elements of the agreement is an Accord on Collective Bargaining and Industrial Action in which all social partners commit to taking steps to prevent violence, intimidation and damage to property and to improve the capacity of the social partners and other agencies to resolve disputes peacefully and expeditiously.
3. Another outcome of the NEDLAC engagements has been a number of proposed amendments to the Labour Relations Act. One of these amendments is a provision for advisory arbitration to endeavour to resolve strikes or lockouts that are intractable or may cause a local or national crisis. Once the amendments to the Labour Relations Act are promulgated, Government together with the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) will implement them to contribute to greater labour market stability.
4. Already the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration is implementing a CCMA-specific dispute and strike prevention programme and is already bearing the desired results.

Shivambu, Mr F to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
(a) What is the total number of trust funds that have been registered since 1 January 2003, (b) how many of those trust funds are compliant with the requirements of the black economic empowerment policy and (c) what are the relevant details of the specified trust funds?
Reply:
(a)The Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies, gazetted the Threshold for Major B-BBEE Transactions which must be submitted to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (“B-BBEE”) Commission in terms of Section 13F (1) (f) of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act 53 of 2003 as Amended by Act 46 of 2013 as well as Section 18 of the B-BBEE Regulations on 9 June 2017 for all Transactions with a value that equals or exceeds R25 Million and further provided for the voluntarily registration of transactions concluded before the 24 October 2014.
Thus, the B-BBEE Commission is mandated to register such Transactions concluded on 24 October 2014 and to date two hundred-ten (210) such transactions have been submitted for registration of which seventy (70) have / are related to trusts.
(b) Based on the analysis and assessment conducted thus far over 50% of the trusts registered are not compliant with B-BBEE; this figure will be confirmed once final findings are approved for publication in this quarter.
(c) Most of the Trusts presented do not satisfy the requirements of the Ownership Scorecard because they are dedicated towards Skills Development and Community Projects but not Ownership, which means that the Black Participants are treated as mere Beneficiaries and not Shareholders.
Where Black Shareholding is held through a Trust, Code Series 100, requires Trusts to define the participants and the portion of their entitlement to receive distribution of the economic interest. In most instances, the Trusts do not provide guidance on how they will record information relating to the identity of each Black Participant. The transactions are structured in a manner where the beneficiaries will only be selected each year to receive benefits for education or it is stated that a portion of dividends will go towards projects.
This means that Measured Entities will, for majority of the time of the transaction, have unidentified Black Participants, contrary to the requirements of Code Series 100. This will further frustrate the use of verification methodologies that an accredited verification professional will have to employ when measuring the Ownership Element of a Measured Entity.

Mbatha, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
(a) What is the current status of the Musina Special Economic Zone in terms of its implementation and (b) what (i) is the total number of black owned companies that are going to benefit from the project, (ii) are their names and (iii) is the total value of each contract that will be allocated to each contractor?
Reply:
Since the designation of the Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone in July 2016, implementation has been progressing relatively well, as highlighted by the following:
- The Minister of Rural Development and Land Affairs has approved the use of the community land for development purposes,
- Land Lease Agreement between the Mulambyane Community Trust and the Limpopo Economic Development Agency has been signed,
- Operator Agreement between the Musina SEZ SOC Ltd and the Shenzhen Hoimor Resources Holdings Company Ltd has been signed for the Energy and Metallurgical Zone,
- The SEZ Operator Permit for the Energy and Metallurgical Zone has been issued,
- The design of the anchor industrial plants within the zone is progressing well, and some plant designs are completed,
- Elements of the support infrastructure plan have been identified.
However, there are still many other critical activities that still require attention for the success of the initiative, including but not limited to the following:
education, training and skills development plan, small and medium enterprise development plan, housing development, and health infrastructure.
(a) There are many ways in which Blacks will participate in and therefore derive benefits from the initiative. Some people will benefit as investors in the various investment projects within the zone, others as direct providers of various goods and services required to support the zone and projects within the zone, still others as indirect providers of goods and services to the business community within and outside the zone, while others will provide goods and services to the expanding community around the zone.
(i) At this stage of implementation, it is too early to determine how many will benefit. The dti trusts that the number of black companies benefiting directly and indirectly from the Musina-Makhado SEZ initiative will be continuously increasing over time.
(ii) At this early stage of implementation, the dti is unable to provide both the number, names and value of contracts that will arise of the Musina-Makhado SEZ initiative.

Mente-Nkuna, Ms NV to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
Whether his department keeps a record of all e-commerce transactions taking place in the country; if so, what is the total (a) number of transactions and (b) value of transactions that took place in the (i) 2012-13, (ii) 2013-14, (iii) 2014-15, (iv) 2015-16 and (v) 2016-17 financial years?
Reply:
E-Commerce in South Africa is facilitated and regulated through the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2002. This is the constitutional mandate of the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services. Requests for e-commerce information should therefore be directed to the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services.

(1)(a) Which directorate within her department authorises a certain company (name furnished) to develop the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) curriculum books into braille and large print, (b) when is this authorisation given and (c) when does an authorisation go out to the specified company to update the CAPS curriculum books in braille and large print in the event of curriculum changes; (2) which was the last year that each visually impaired or blind learner received a book in braille or large print in each subject and in each grade in his or her language since the inception of the CAPS curriculum in the 2012-13 financial year; (3) does her department carry any costs with regard to the funding of key positions at the specified company to allow for the sustainability of the development of CAPS curriculum in braille and large print in the event of alterations to the curriculum; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. (a)The Learning and the Teaching Support Material (LTSM) Directorate contracted Pioneer Printers as a sole provider to print and deliver braille workbook for visually impaired learners in the 22 schools for the blind. The same company developed braille and Large Print textbooks for Western Cape Education Department schools and took the initiative to braille other textbooks on the National Braille catalogue. Provinces were advised to procure such materials from them.
(b) The authorisation for Braille workbooks has been renewed since 2012.
(c) No changes have been effected in the curriculum that affects the Braille books.
2. The national Catalogue for Braille and Large Print was developed in 2012 and 2013. Provinces incrementally started procuring since the catalogue was developed. This was based on the availability of the finalised material by Pioneer Printers. Yearly, provinces procure top-ups, where applicable and print content using braille embossing machines available at schools. An Information Communication and Technology (ICT) solution has been employed at other schools where textbooks are loaded on braille readers.
3. The National Department does not fund any post at Pioneer Printers. The Western Cape Education Department funds 24 posts at the institution for the development of Braille and Large Print. The Department is engaging with Pioneer Printers, publishers and other stakeholders to find a long term solution to the lack of capacity in the country to develop and print materials in Braille in addition to finding alternative solutions through the use of ICT.

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

ICASA did not hold any public consultations on the Moratorium before the Notice on the Moratorium was published in Government Gazette. ICASA’s decision to place the Moratorium was necessitated by;
i) Scarcity of analoque radio frequencies
ii) Review of the licensing processes and procedures’ regulations to include a requirement for the ICASA to process registrations for class community broadcasting licences in two intervals per year, which was concluded in March 2016.
iii) ICASA’s need for development of a new regulatory framework for community broadcasting.
(2) (a) ICASA will issue a formal notice and communicate its decision to lift the Moratorium once all processes have been completed and it is ready for licensing, which include review of new regulatory framework for community broadcasting, (b) the Moratorium impact on the expansion of community media listenership, however, does not have any impact on existing community sound broadcasting services, since it is applicable to those wishing to apply for a new broadcasting service licence in relation to community sound broadcasting.
(3) Yes, ICASA has taken steps to solve the issues around community radio station licencing, which led to the Moratorium, details of the steps taken include the following;
i) Finalisation of the review of the licencing processes and procedures’ regulations, which include provision for ICASA to process registration for class community broadcasting lincences in two intervals per year,
ii) Review of regulatory framework for community broadcasting, ICASA has published a discussion document on the regulatory framework for community broadcasting services with request for written comments and representations from the public,

Hoosen, Mr MH to ask the Minister of Social Development
What is the detailed (a) breakdown of and (b) valuation for current and non-current assets and investments held by (i) her department and (ii) each entity reporting to her according to (aa) listed assets (aaa) directly held and (bbb) indirectly held and (bb) unlisted investments (aaa) directly held and (bbb) indirectly held by each of the entities, in each case breaking the current assets and investments down by 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months and beyond 12 months?
Reply:
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.
