The leadership of the South African Football Association (SAFA) authorized FIFA to make the payment. The details of the payment are with FIFA who made the payment to the Confederation of North, Central and Caribbean Football Associations (CONCACAF). The documentation related to the decision is not in the purview of the Minister of Sport and Recreation. The Olympic Charter, to which South Africa is a signatory, prohibits governments from interfering in the administration of sports bodies. Government relies on the sports bodies to provide details as and when necessary, on a voluntary basis. South Africa has since requested FIFA, the former leaders of SAFA and the government of the United States of America to share documentation in their possession pointing to any alleged wrongdoing in respect of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Until we receive information stating otherwise, we as the South African Government believe that this was a legitimate transfer of funds to CONCACAF. Those who allege that any of our laws have been broken are encouraged to report such transgressions to the appropriate authorities, including law enforcement agencies.

(a) The purpose of the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001 is to provide for the regulation of the private security industry. The purpose of the PSiR Act is to establish a regulatory Authority and to provide for matters connected with the regulation of the industry.

The primary object of PSiRA is to regulate the private security industry and to exercise effective control over the practice of the occupation of security service providers in the public and national interest and the interest of the private security industry itself.

Basic to the regulation of the security industry is the requirement that all those who fall within the definition of “security service provider” and who propose to render a “security service”, must comply with registration procedures and be registered before becoming active in the industry. The PSiR Act therefore set reasonable and appropriate registration requirements that must be satisfied by applicant security businesses, their owners as well as all security officers. The basic object of these registration requirements is to achieve a trustworthy, legitimate and competent private security industry which has the effect that not all applicants will be able to secure legitimate entry to the industry and that the admission to or exclusion from the industry is based on proper grounds.

One of the registration requirements is that a person may not have been convicted of a criminal offence as highlighted in a Schedule to the PSiR Act. Any person convicted of a Scheduled offence will be disqualified from registration. In addition, a person found guilty of a Scheduled offence after registration as a security service provider, registration may be withdrawn by the PSiRA. The PSiR Act therefore provides for screening of all persons prior to registration in order to eliminate undesirable individuals from entering the industry in the first place. Part of this screening also includes an official clearance certificate for any ex-members of any official military, security, police or intelligence force or service (in or outside the Republic) to determine whether the applicant is fit and proper.

In addition, the conduct of the private security industry is also regulated in terms of a statutory Code of Conduct for Security Service Providers, 2003, made in terms of section 28 of the Act. This Code provides for rules and obligations a security service provider has towards the state security agencies, the public, clients, etc. Any contravention of the Code constitute improper conduct and a security service provider convicted, are subject to a variety of penalties or sanctions which includes withdrawal of registration as a security service provider or a fine of up to R1 million per count.

The PSiRA has not convicted any security service provider for human rights violations during apartheid but have generally prosecuted security service providers for human rights offences conducted in the course of their deployment as security officers. This is particularly in cases where security officers abuses their powers and the use of disproportioned force.

(b) As far as violations in other countries are concerned, and although the PSiR Act do have extraterritorial application, there are limitations in the Act. These limitations are being addressed in the Private Security Industry Amendment Act, which is currently with the President for promulgation

Reply:

(1)(a) and (b) The response to these questions are similar than the reply under question 2278 above.

(2) Minimum conditions of employment for the private security industry are determined by the Minister of Labour. Other than what is provided for in terms of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Amendment Act, 1997 (Act No. 61 of 1997), there is currently no other provision for medical cover or aid for security guards in terms of labour legislation or the Private Security Industry Regulation Act, 2001.

(a) Trio Crime Task Teams have been established, in Clusters to address Trio Crimes, including farm attacks. The Trio Crime Task Teams are monitored by the Cluster Commander and the Deputy Provincial Commissioner: Crime Detection, in each province.

(b) The South African Police Service (SAPS) has increased police visibility through patrols and continuous engagement with farm owners and residents in rural areas.

The Divisions: Visible Policing and Crime Intelligence, monitor all incidents of violence against persons residing on farms and small holdings, in rural areas, on a daily basis. These incidents, including murder and other serious crimes, which occur on farms and small holdings are analysed and captured on a manual data base. This information is shared as operational information during the Rural Safety Priority Committee meetings, to guide the planning of crime prevention operations, programmes and projects to address root causes or contributing factors to crime, as well as to inform the community of current trends, tendencies and modus operandi of suspects, to enhance awareness.

Weekly incident analysis meetings, involving the Division Visible Policing, the Division: Crime Intelligence and the Crime Registrar, take place to analyse these incidents to determine flash points, particular crime trends, the modus operandi that is employed by criminals and other matters related to rural safety and security.

This operational information forms the basis for presentations to the quarterly National Rural Safety Priority Committee meetings, which is inter alia attended by organised agriculture and farming unions Agriculture South Africa (AGRI SA) and the Transvaal Agriculture Union of South Africa (TAU SA). In the event of an increase in the number of incidents, the relevant Provincial Commissioners are instructed to ensure that preventative measures are implemented with immediate effect.

Stakeholders are encouraged to be a part of these established structures to give constructive advice, regarding the policing of rural communities. These established structures are therefore utilised by stakeholders to enhance cooperation and coordination. The SAPS is committed to addressing all crime-related incidents, in rural areas as a priority.

The current database cannot give the breakdown of such information however it reflect that the majority of the companies are black owned.

Reply:

(a) According to PSiRA’s records as at end August 2017, there are just under 500 000 registered active employee security officers deployed by over 9 000 registered and active security businesses. These security businesses and employee security officers represent all the different categories or classes of security service providers as defined in the Private Security Industry Regulation Act, with the majority, falling within what is generally described as the guarding sector.

The geographic breakdown of the private security industry was at August 2017 as follows:

Registered and active security businesses per province:

• Gauteng - 3 789
• Eastern Cape - 707
• Western Cape - 1 019
• Limpopo - 827
• N/West Prov. - 367
• Free State - 217
• N/Cape - 141
• KZN - 1 444
• Mpumalanga - 533

Registered and active security officers per province:

• Gauteng - 194 358
• Eastern Cape - 42 996
• Western Cape - 54 900
• Limpopo - 37 438
• N/West Prov. - 26 756
• Free State - 16 233
• N/Cape - 4 706
• KZN - 87 335
• Mpumalanga - 34 774

Total - 499 496

(b)(i) All security businesses are required to report to PSiRA, in terms of the Private Security Industry Regulation, 2002 the details of any security officer employed or deployed within 10 days. PSiRA therefore keeps records of all security officers employed and reported by the 9 044 registered and active security businesses. Details of each business as well as the details of the security officers in its employ can be provided.

(b)(ii) The positions each of the security officers hold within the security business are not known to PSiRA and it is also not a requirement for businesses to report information of this nature to PSiRA. The regulator does however record the details of the owners/partners/members/directors, etc. of security business on an electronic database or register of security service providers

No. The Acting National Commissioner is not currently reviewing the ranks of South African Police Service (SAPS) members, who are members of the Umkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association.

a) In 2015, the former Minister of Police established a re-Ranking Committee to investigate and make a recommendation on the ranks of all former Non Statutory Force Members (Umkhonto weSizwe and Azanian People’s Liberation Army), who complained that they were prejudiced during the integration of the Security Forces, as their training, experience and responsibility were not considered when granting them their ranks, during the integration into the SAPS process.

The majority of these members were granted the ranks of Temporary Constable and Lance Sergeant, at the time.

b) The SAPS re-Ranking Committee is currently preparing a report and recommendations to the Minister of Police.

c) However, R4 000 000,00 is available for the project team.

d) A decision has not been made as to which portion of the budget this amount will come from.

1. The official was appointed in the position of the Western Cape’s Crime Intelligence Head, in terms of, inter alia, Regulation 45(9) of the South African Police Service’s Employment Regulation, 2008. Appointments to the level of Senior Management Service (SMS), such as the appointment of the official under discussion, were also at the time regulated by the National Instruction 4 of 2010 (Appointments to posts on salary levels 13 to 15), which made provision for the appointment of a person, on condition that such person submits an application for the issuing of a security clearance, of at least up to the level of secret.

2. The official has been issued with a security clearance at the level of Top Secret, with effect from 1 December 2016.

(a)(i) A web-based application system has been developed to calculate the number of human resource posts, per level, that are required to perform the duties associated with police stations. The system is called the Theoretical Human Resource Requirement (THRR). The system was developed, whereby ratio analyses and standard times were established for the activities or tasks performed at police stations. Direct work measurement, in the form of time studies and activity sampling, as well as indirect work measurement, in the form of analytical estimates, was used to determine standard times for these policing activities or tasks. The determining of a human resource allocation for police stations in the South African Police Service (SAPS), is a dynamic process, which is influenced by various factors (variables), the internal environment, the external environment as well as taking contingency factors (i.e. absence/leave from duty) into account.

The level of the station commander is determined according to the job weight range (calculated theoretical ideal number of posts) associated with the level of a station commander post. A benchmark exercise was conducted to determine a correlation between the THRR system and the Equate Job Evaluation System, which is utilised for the grading of posts in the broader public service and the outcome thereof, indicates a high correlation (96%) between the two systems. The table below depicts the job weight ranges for station commander level, as determined by the THRR and Equate Job Evaluation Systems:

STATION COMMANDER LEVEL	JOB WEIGHT RANGE THRR	JOB WEIGHT RANGE EQUATE SYSTEM
	LOWER LIMIT	UPPER LIMIT	GRADE (PUBLIC SERVICE ACT)	GRADE (POLICE SERVICE ACT)	MINIMUM	MAXIMUM
8 – Captain	36	90	8	BAND C (Captain)	454	506
10 - Lieutenant Colonel	91	180	9	BAND D (Lieutenant Colonel)	507	559
			10		560	611
12 – Colonel	181	360	11	MMS Band (Colonel)	612	663
			12		664	716
13 – Brigadier	361	Higher	13	SMS1 Band (Brigadier)	717	769

(ii)(aa)(bb) The weight and grading of the post of a station commander (Colonel and Brigadier included) and the lower-level command structure, is based on the evaluation of various factors including crime, environmental factors and policing activities. These will have a definite impact on the factors considered:

• • • Developments in the regulatory framework – in relation to changes to the legislation of the country (By-laws, Traffic Ordinance, Amendments to Acts/Statutes and all other applicable legislation, that will have a direct impact on policing at local level);
    • Environmental developments/factors - New developments in the country in the external environment, for instance: the migration rate, increasing unemployment rate, mushrooming of informal settlements, the integration of undocumented people into the population density factor and residential and business developments, are constantly having an impact on policing methods and human resourcing at local level;
    • Organisational developments – in relation to the need to enhance service delivery at local level;
    • Management needs – in relation to functions that must be added at local level policing to ultimately enhance service delivery;
    • Norms, per type of crime and patterns;
    • Contingency allowances – rest allowances and absenteeism;
    • Demographic layout of a police station area - urban/rural/urban rural mix settlement types;
    • Infrastructure in a police station area;
    • Area size of a police area;
    • Population dynamics;
    • Police station infrastructure; and
    • Distances travelled to courts/places of safety/health and forensic laboratories/mortuaries and correctional facilities.

The annual application of the THRR for police stations, is essential to determine the personnel requirement in a standardised method. This is, however, affected by the fixed establishment (FE), which is purely dependent on the availability of funds, in terms of the current budget and the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). Currently, the SAPS is not able to fund the theoretical requirements for police stations, due to budgetary constraints.

(b) Minimum human resource implication at a Colonel level is 181 personnel and the maximum is 360 personnel. The minimum human resource implication at a Brigadier level is 361 and higher.

Most of the police stations are barely capacitated at their minimum human resource requirement, due to budgetary constraints e.g. a Colonel police station which requires a minimum of 181 personnel, is currently capacitated at 150.

An analysis of a three year comparison of police stations’ THRR, must be conducted. Police stations, whose results are calculated above the upper limit of its assigned category, after a period of three consecutive years, must be considered for upgrading. The rule is that police stations must at least be capacitated to the maximum of their current category, before they can be considered for upgrading (bottom-up approach). Due to the fact that the SAPS is not receiving additional posts, most of the qualifying police stations are upgraded without meeting this requirement (top-down approach), hence the majority of police stations are not capacitated at their minimum requirements.

1. In reference to the stated incident, two suspects were apprehended by members of the public, immediately after the incident occurred, whilst the other two suspects were apprehended by members of the Sinoville Police Station. The fifth suspect, subsequently handed himself over to the Sinoville Police Station. All five suspects were profiled and three were found to have no prior, or pending cases against them. A charge of assault, with the intention to cause grevious bodily harm (GBH), was opened and registered at the Sinoville Police Station, Sinoville CAS 41/08/2017.

The suspect, Mr Marakalla, who was a member of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), reported that he was the victim of an attempted hijacking during which he used his firearm to shoot at the alleged hijackers. A charge of attempted murder was opened and registered at Sinoville Police Station, Sinoville CAS 175/08/2017. Mr Marakalla was profiled and found to have no prior, or pending cases against him. The case docket was fully investigated and handed over to the Senior Public Prosecutor (SPP) to issue a J175 (apprehension of suspect). Mr Marakalla has been charged and the court date has been set for 5 October 2017.

It needs to be mentioned that each criminal case is assessed on its own merits in terms of prevailing circumstances. This implies that two separate cases cannot be compared to each other.

2. Prior to a person being arrested, it is essential that a proper investigation should be conducted in order for the case to be referred to the SPP and placed on the court roll. Deputy Minister Mduduzi Manana was arrested on Thursday, 10 August 2017 and appeared at the Randburg Court on the same day.

3. The South African Police Service cannot respond on behalf of the aforementioned Minister.

(a) In terms of the Private Security Industry Regulation Act, 2001 there is no statutory obligation by the private security industry to report any injuries or fatalities of security officers to PSiRA. However, all security businesses must be lawfully registered with the office of the Compensation Commissioner and report any workplace accidents to the Compensation Commissioner in terms of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Amendment Act, 1997 (Act No. 61 of 1997) and the circumstances relating to the injury, illness or death of an employee.

In view of the fact that security businesses are not required to report the above information to PSiRA, the security regulator liaises with the office of the Compensation Commissioner to obtain said information. The Compensation Commissioner’s gave the following information of workplace accidents within the private security industry from 1 April 2016 to 28 February 2017:

1.1 Injuries on duty - 5 705; and

1.2 Fatalities on duty - 14

In addition to the above, the PSiRA also liaises with the Private Security Sector Provident Fund (PSSPF), established in terms of Sectoral Determination 6 by the Minister of Labour. The PSSPF provides for, inter alia, retirement benefits, death benefits and permanent disability cover for security service providers in the guarding sector. Whilst the PSSPF is not in a position to differentiate between death and disability in or outside of the workplace, the following statistics in respect of claims received from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017 were provided in respect of security officers:

1.1 Death claims - 1 213

1.2 Disability claims - 270

In view of the challenges in obtaining statistical information in respect of the foregoing and PSiRA’s reliance on the office of the Compensation Commissioner to provide said information, the Authority is in the process to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Labour. This agreement will include the sharing of information on injuries and fatalities of security officers on duty.

(b) Compensation for injuries on duty is provided for in terms of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Amendment Act, 1997 (Act No. 61 of 1997) and depends on the nature of the injury. The Private Security Sector Provident Fund established in terms of Sectoral Determination 6 by the Minister of Labour, also provides for death benefits and permanent disability cover for security service providers in the guarding sector. The benefits includes, inter alia, life cover for a member and spouse up to R30 000-00 as well as life cover for the member’s children.

PSiRA is involved in a number of operations with different stakeholders, including the SAPS. These operations are initiated by PSiRA or at times, the SAPS. The focus of these operations is on compliance in terms of the PSIR Act which includes the deployment of registered and trained security officers, illegal immigrants and compliance with the Firearms Control Act. During the 2016/2017 financial year, 26 PSiRA/SAPS operations were held that resulted in the arrest of 390 security officers. Of these 390 security officers, 387 were arrested for not being legally registered with PSiRA.

In addition to PSiRA inspections and investigations conducted, certain areas of non-compliance by the private security industry also warrant criminal prosecution and this forms part of the PSiRA’s enforcement strategy.

Investigations are conducted to detect unregistered security service providers as well as other criminal contraventions of the Act for the purposes of opening criminal cases against them with the South African Police Service.

During the 2016/2017 financial year, a total of 855 criminal cases were opened by inspectors of the Authority compared to 686 cases during the 2015/2016 financial year.

As at 31 March 2017, a total of 2 243 criminal cases were pending with the South African Police Services countrywide against security service providers where PSiRA opened the cases for contraventions of the PSiR Act and regulations.

Eskom is exploring a R2.8 million collaborative development agreement with the CSIR for the establishment of a national Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) facility.  The need for a facility of this nature stems from the need to develop local NDT skills and capacity, NDT procedure qualifications and having qualified independent oversight on contractors undertaking NDT work at Eskom sites.   The application for this funding is currently pending internal approval and is being channeled through the Eskom governance process.

Furthermore, we attach Annexure B which detail includes work carried out although Eskom has not yet made payment.

The following Eskom policies support the manner in which collaborative R&D agreements are managed:

• Eskom IP management policy,
• Procurement & Supply Chain Management Policy,
• Eskom’s Legal Policies governing MOAs/MOUs.
