Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Public Works
Is there a backlog with respect to any of his department’s (a) essential, (b) major and/or (c) other projects; if so, (i) which projects are affected and (ii) what are the full reasons for the delay in each case?
Reply:
1. Yes, the Department has identified and programmed backlog in the area of construction infrastructure projects deemed essential to be cleared year on year basis.
2. Definition of backlog:
Backlog in terms of infrastructure projects is defined as a number of projects that remained on planning phase for a period exceeding two years after issuing of procurement instruction and construction projects on construction phase for a period exceeding two years of construction period.
3. Essential and/or Major
The department has no classification of projects. It works according to prioritisation from client departments. Statistics of backlog are as follows:
3.1 Projects on planning stage for 2016/17
- Planned Maintenance = 432
- DPW Capital = 172
- Client Capital = 530
Total = 1134 (Annual target was 15% of 1134)
(a) Performance reported in 2016/17 was 159 representing 14% of 1134. That implies that 94% of the annual target was achieved.
(b) Annual target for 2017/18 remain 15% (146) of the 975 remaining backlog in line with availability of budget from clients for the construction phase.
3.2 Projects on Construction Phase for 2017/18
- Planned Maintenance = 24
- DPW Capital = 3
- Client Capital = 17
Total = 44
4. The annual target for 2017/18 is 75% (32) of 44 backlog projects identified and programmed.
5. Backlog projects in construction phase is caused by under-performance of contractors appointed for execution of the work, heritage compliance requirements, litigation processes, contract disputes and subsequent cancellations. Normal process of sourcing the replacement contractor had to be followed without deviation. In terms of CIDB regulation the department can only initiate the appointment of a replacement contractor after six months of cancellation. This waiting period contributes to backlog statistics.
6. These challenges will be addressed by the infrastructure delivery management system (IDMS) which the department is in the process of institutionalising and establishment of pre-approved panels of contractors and consultants.
7. Please find attached hereto a list of projects identified as infrastructure backlog of projects in construction phase for 2017/18 and projects that were on planning phase in 2016/17 and full reasons for the delay in each case.

Reply:
(1) (a) (i) The local state of disasters declared by municipalities due to water shortages caused by drought during the past three municipal financial years, that have been reported to my department, are listed in a table below. All the other states of disasters during the indicated period were provincial states of disasters, declared by respective provinces.
For the past three municipal financial years:

(c) Where applicable, the department performs the following roles:
- Conducts assessments and classification of disasters as per section 23 of the Disaster Management Act (Act No. 57 of 2002);
- Facilitates the provision of technical support and guidance through the Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA);
- Coordinates the funding allocation to address the situation; and
- Monitors the implementation of intervention measures as per the Division of Revenue Act and applicable grant conditions.
(d) The amounts spent on addressing drought and water shortages in all the municipalities that were declared a state of disaster were provided through reprioritisation process by affected municipalities, Provincial Treasuries as well as relevant provincial and national government departments. The bulk of the funds that were made available by the provincial and national spheres of government were for implementation of drought intervention measures with regard to declared provincial state of disasters. With regard to the recent state of disasters declared by Amathole, Sarah Baartman District Municipalities and Nelson Mandela Metro Municipality respectively, there are no amounts allocated by the department and spent so far, as the process for the drought assessments and disaster classification are underway.
The bulk of the funds that were made available by the provincial and national spheres of government were for implementation of drought intervention measures with regard to declared provincial state of disasters. However, it should be noted that the indicated municipalities also benefitted from the funding that was allocated due to the declaration of a provincial state of disaster as a result of drought, since they were incorporated within the provincial declarations.
2. (a) The relevant national departments contributed funding to assist the affected provinces whereby the municipalities that declared a local state of disaster also benefitted. The details below are as per the reports from sector departments as well as where my department facilitated funding:

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.

(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.

McLoughlin, Mr AR to ask the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform
With reference to the under expenditure of R759,7 million in respect of his department’s Programme 4 in the first quarter of the 2017-18 financial year, why have no appropriate and effective steps been implemented by his department to ensure that its target setting and budget forecasting are in alignment with each other, given that his department must be aware of the lengthy verification process involved in the establishment of who the rightful owners of land are; (2) what steps, if any, have been put in place to streamline the process to ensure that prospective claimants are not left waiting needlessly when a budget for the settling of claimant’s claims is available but unspent; (3) what (a) percentage of the lengthy verification process of establishing who the rightful owners of the land are is caused by the lack of urgency, capacity or application on the part of his department’s staff and (b) steps are in place to eradicate such unnecessary delays?
Reply:
1. With the implementation of the new BAS version delays in the processing of payments were experienced. All entities not registered on the National Treasury central database system were not converted to the new BAS version. Suppliers and claimants had to resubmit their banking details in order to process payments. These issues have been resolved and payments are now flowing.
2. Monthly review of expenditure and projections are in place to ensure a streamlined process. Regular meetings with provincial offices to determine the status of projects and the settlement of claims are in place.
3. (a) The Restitution Business is broad and labour intensive. The verification process requires extensive consultation with claimants who at times leave in different areas far apart from each other. Households have also multiplied since the time of dispossession and the verification has to be done in collaboration and in agreement with the community representatives. This process is also intended to prevent fraud in the process.
(b) The Commission is also engaged through a process of review of its business processes with the intent to find more efficient and effective ways to settle claims.
