Masango, Ms B to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
(1)By which date will her department’s newly built offices in Bronkhorstspruit in Gauteng, which were completed in May 2017, be opened; (2) whether employees stationed at her department’s Cullinan offices received any instructions to relocate to the newly built offices in Bronkhorstspruit; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) what is the status of the relocation and (b) how has the relocation affected service delivery by her department?
Reply:
(1) The new anticipated date for opening of the office in Bronkhorstspruit is 1 October 2017.
(2)(a) No. Consultation with staff took place during April 2017 upon which the affected staff were given a three (3) month period to prepare for the relocation. Not all officials at the Cullinan Local office - Medium will be affected by the move and this office will still be operating with a reduced number of staff to deal with applications of birth, marriage and death only. The Cullinan and Bronkhorspruit communities were also consulted on the intended opening of the new office in Bronkhorstspruit.
(2)(b) The relocation will not impact negatively as the Cullinan Local Office - Medium remains open and staff will be available to render service delivery, whilst the Bronkhorstspruit community will benefit with the opening of the new office.

America, Mr D to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(1)With regard to each allegation of abuse of learners by school staff (details furnished), was the case reported to the (a) provincial education department, (b) SA Council of Educators (SACE) and/or (c) SA Police Service (SAPS); if not, in each case, why not; if so, what are the details of (i) all disciplinary action taken by each (aa) provincial education department and (bb) SACE against offending teachers, (ii) CAS numbers of the cases opened at SAPS and (iii) status of the SAPS investigations in each case and (iv) the outcomes of the specified disciplinary actions, (2) has psychological support been offered to the affected learners; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. (a) In terms of section 3(1)(b) of the Employment of Educators Act, 76 of 1998, the Head of the Provincial Education Department is the employer of educators in the service of the Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) for all purposes of employment. For this reason, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) cannot intervene in the decisions of the PEDs regarding employer-employee relations matters because of the binding contract of employment between the two parties. It is therefore the responsibility of the employer to implement policies with regards to safety measures at schools. It is also the responsibility of the employer to enforce disciplinary code and procedures against their employees. The question therefore needs to be directed to the PED to establish the facts of these cases.
1. (b) SACE SUPPLEMENTARY RESPONSE
The following cases as per the attached list were reported to
Eastern Cape
1. EC 2 Qunu Junior Secondary School: the case was investigated on 11 October 2016 and no evidence of abuse of learners was found;

Tlhaole, Mr L S to ask the Minister of Basic Education
With reference to her reply to question 812 on 11 April 2017, (a) has her department received the necessary information from the Northern Cape Provincial Education Department and (b) what was the response of the specified department?
Reply:
The closure of schools in the Northern Cape’s John Taolo Gaetsewe (JTG) municipality during the 2013/14 financial year, was as a result of community protests for the construction of a tarred road, whereby children were barred from going to school and the school infrastructure was destroyed in the process.
The Northern Cape Provincial Education Department has since strengthened the community and stakeholder liaison structures by establishing the District Quality Learning and Teaching Campaign (QLTC) Structure, whose primary mandate is to focus on the following, amongst other things:
(a) inform citizens about the importance of education, their roles, responsibilities and obligations towards education;
(b) be the catalyst for positive change, quality improvement and transformation; and
(c) to provide a platform for communities and broader society to actively and constructively become involved in the improvement of teaching and learning.
Furthermore, the Province has appointed a dedicated official at a Provincial level to coordinate QLTC across all five (5) Districts in the province.

Tarabella - Marchesi, Ms NI to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(a) What was the maintenance budget for each school in each school district in the 2016-17 financial year, (b) which schools underspent on their budget and (c)(i) by what amount did each specified school underspend and (ii) what was the reason for underspending in each case?

(a),(b) & (c) (i) & (ii)
Maintenance funded from the Education Infrastructure Grant is not allocated per school but per project.

However, the allocations for maintenance from the Norms and Standards for School Funding are allocated by the Provincial Education Departments. The honourable member is advised to request the information from the NCOP and/ or request provinces to provide the information as the function is a provincial competency.

Bergman, Mr D to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(a) What number of staff members are employed in the vetting and verification unit at the SA Council of Educators (SACE) and (b) what steps is SACE taking to ensure that it has the requisite capacity for vetting and verifying the volume of applications that it receives for the listing in teachers’ roll?
Reply:
a) Eight (8) staff members have been allocated the vetting and verification responsibilities as part of the processing of registration of applications.
b) Currently the South African Council for Educators (SACE) is conducting visual verification at the office.

The reconceptualisation process also includes the review of the registration criteria to include, fitness-to-practice as a new concept that will incoporate issues of vetting and verification within a broader context of professional registration. Council is persuing establishing institutional networks with e.g the South African Qualifications Authority; Department of Home Affairs and the Africa Forum of Teaching Regulatory Authorities (AFTRA) to enhance its registration process.

Mashabela, Ms N to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What is the total number of learners who (a) registered for Grade 1, (b) completed Grade 9 and (c) completed Grade 12 in each province in the period 1 January 1996 up to 31 December 2016?
Reply:
(a),(b),(c)
The table link below shows the total number of Grade 1 learners registered between 1997 and 2005, the total number of learners in Grade 10 (completed Grade 9) in 2006-2014 and the total number of learners completed Grade 12 in 2008-2016, per province.
Based on the cohort of learners in Grade 1 in 1997, the table aligns the same cohort of learners in Grade 10, in 2006 and the same cohort of learners in Grade 12, in 2008.
Note:
- What should not be done though, is to divide Grade 12 passes in one year (for instance 2016) by Grade 1 enrolments twelve years previously (for instance 2004) to obtain a statistic on survival to Grade 12. One key problem with this approach is that levels of repetition in Grade 1 are high, meaning one double counts learners in the denominator.
- It must also be noted that a great number of learners also enrol in TVET colleges and that others attend AET classes after completing Grade 9 which forms part of the Higher Education and Training Sector.
- With regard to (b), Repeaters in Grade 10 were included in the statistics of number of completed Grade 9 learners.
- With regard to (c), the analysis includes only full-time Grade 12 passes in the public examination. Those figures exclude Grade 12 learners writing private examinations (in particular those of the Independent Examinations Board) and part-time learners in the public system who accumulate sufficient credits to obtain a Grade 12 pass.

Province |
Measures put in place |
Eastern Cape |
Co-ordinators were sensitised of the challenge of schools that did not order textbooks by the deadline and they were central in the re-direction of the surplus books to schools that did not place orders. The warehouse also submitted a list of books available at the warehouse due to rejections/wrong orders, etc. and some of the schools that did not place orders benefitted from the rejections and wrong orders. Schools that did not place orders have been directed to place orders with the 2018 orders. |
Gauteng |
All 200 schools without section 21.1c function have centrally procured textbooks and stationery for the 2018 academic year. Of the total of 1864 Section 21.1c schools, 1323 have submitted proof of orders to Districts and a total of 541 schools are still outstanding. The province receives weekly procurement reports from Districts for schools with section 21.1c function. As at Friday 11 August 2017. Districts continue to follow up with the 541 outstanding schools. |
KwaZulu-Natal |
The Department has issued an instruction that it would assume the responsibility of placing textbook orders on behalf of all schools which were found not to be complying with the procurement deadlines. In these instances, Head-Office has written to District Directors to intervene and progress is updated on a weekly basis to ensure accountability for every school. The District Offices are to solicit requisitions from the non-complying schools so that orders can be placed centrally on behalf of these schools. |
Limpopo |
The LDoE had several meetings with all stakeholders to ensure delivery deadlines for the 2018 academic year are met. Service Level Agreements have been signed with publishers/stationery manufacturers and SAPO, the appointed delivery agent responsible for textbook distribution in the province. The LTSM process for the 2018 academic year was communicated in circular S70. Districts have been instructed to do a verification exercise as some schools did not require additional top up textbooks. |
Northern Cape |
All schools placed orders. Schools are afforded an opportunity until mid-August 2017 to adjust/amend their orders through District Offices. |
North West |
All outstanding schools are being assisted |
Mpumalanga |
All schools submitted their orders therefore there was no need for further measures to be in place. |
Western Cape |
The Circuit Managers have the responsibility to monitor the 144 schools to ensure that textbooks are available to learners. The oversight responsibility resides with the District Directors and Chief Director: Districts. |
The Department of Basic Education has obtained the above information as provided by provinces. The Honourable Member is advised to direct questions to provinces for further detail and outstanding information.

(1)With reference to the alleged sexual abuse of learners at Bothitong High School by their teachers, (a) what is the total number of victims in the cases that the provincial Department of Education is investigating, (b) on what date did the department become aware of the cases, (c) who reported the cases to the department and (d) what is her department doing to improve reporting mechanisms within provinces; (2) have the cases been reported to the SA Council of Educators; if so, on what date were they reported?
Reply:
- (a), (b) and (c)
In terms of Section 3(1)(b) of the Employment of Educators Act No 76 of 1998, the Head of the Provincial Department of Education is the Employer of teachers in schools. All disciplinary cases are therefore reported to the respective Employers, as the case may be and the Employer then proceeds with disciplinary actions against the alleged perpetrator. The above-mentioned case has not been reported to the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and we are therefore not able to give the details of the case. The question therefore needs to be directed to the relevant Employer, who is the Head of the Northern Cape Education Department, for details and response to these cases.
(d) The DBE is currently developing improved protocols that communicate in a user-friendly way the steps to be taken by a school community in cases of sexual abuse. Such improved protocols aim to spell out the responsibilities of any adult that becomes aware of any sexual abuse incident involving a child in terms of Section 54 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act No 32 of 2007 in order to expedite charges against the offenders. Furthermore, the DBE has requested all Provincial Departments of Education (PEDs) to submit any reported cases involving a learner and teacher to the DBE on a monthly basis in order to maintain our own data base on case management in the PEDs on the conduct of educators. The data base will comprise cases such as application of corporal punishment, sexual assault and (any other) improper conduct of educators. In managing the data base, the DBE will analyse the reports from the PEDs on a monthly basis, managing the timeframes on dealing with such cases and making follow ups where there are unexplained delays.
The Department will furthermore engage with the SACE to improve their protocols regarding sexual offences with a view to expedite the process of de-registration and striking these teachers off the roll. The SACE will be requested to report on a monthly basis such cases reported to it regarding the conduct of educators and the decision taken on conclusion of the cases to enable the DBE to ensure that the PEDs implement the decisions of the SACE whereby teachers are struck off the roll.
Discussions are envisaged between the Department of Social Development, the SACE and the PEDs to discuss the reporting protocols. The Department of Social Development will be included because of the provision of Section 126 of the Children’s Act No 38 of 2005 which provides for the National Child Protection Register.
2. The DBE cannot confirm if the cases were reported to the SACE since, in terms of Section 26 of the SACE Act No 31 of 2000, the responsibility to do so lies with the PEDs. The question therefore needs to be directed to the relevant Employer for details and response.

Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
Has any progress been achieved with the establishment of the South African Institute for Vocational and Continuing Education and Training; if not, why not; if so, (a) what progress has been made, (b) how many full-time staff members are currently employed to support the work of the institute, (c) what was the total cost of the institute in the 2016-17 financial year, (d) what amount was budgeted in the 2017-18 financial year for the expenses related to the work of the institute and (e) what is the extent of the support rendered by the institute to the (i) Technical and Vocational Education and Training colleges and/or (ii) community education colleges to date?
Reply:
(a) Progress has been made in the establishment of the South African Institute for Vocational and Continuing Education and Training (SAIVCET).
The Department has developed a business case with the following noted progress:
- A concept document on the role and functions of the entity has been completed.
- Reprioritising the current Departmental budget or sourcing funds other than from voted funds for the development of the business case as well as to begin initial work of SAIVCET. The latter is important for demonstrating the proposed business case. A request for funding was made to the National Skills Funds and it has been approved.
- An organogram was developed and concurrence with the Minister of Public Service and Administration is now being sought.
- Three senior staff members have been appointed on contract.
- The advertisement for key positions have been drafted and will be advertised soon.
- A draft policy has been developed and is undergoing consultation. The policy will lead to the promulgation of regulations to formally establish the entity.
(b) No full time staff has yet been appointed, as SAIVCET still needs to be established. The National Skills Fund has made project funding available and three individuals have been appointed on a contract basis.
(c) The total expenditure for the 2016/17 financial year was R 216 758. This was primarily for information technology services, which included the hosting of the lecturer support platform.
(d) The project budget for SAIVCET in the 2017/18 financial year is R 36 million.
(e) In the absence of substantive appointment of staff, some significant steps have been taken to support Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, namely:
- A curriculum review plan has been developed.
- Work on the Dual System and Centres of Specialisation project aims to inform models for the implementation of occupational programmes at TVET colleges.
- Consultation has happened with colleges on a lecturer development plan for this year.
- A draft lecture development plan is being set up, in addition a long-term lecturer development strategy is being developed.
- Work on funding norms and performance management mechanisms are being developed with the Human Resource unit of the Department.
- Lecturer support packages have been developed and are being accessed by lecturers who have registered on the online lecturer support system.
- Investigations into a continuous professional development lecturer system are being undertaken.
- Preparation for a lecturer development conference in February 2018 is currently underway.
- Processes to establish regional support teams for lecturer development are underway. All teams will have been established and operational by 20 October 2017.
- Monitoring of the implementation of lecturer training or development plans, where the skills levy funds are utilised by TVET colleges, are underway.
- The evaluation of professional qualifications developed by universities are underway.
- The University of the Western Cape is already offering a new qualification in terms of the Policy for Professional Qualifications for TVET Lecturers (2013).
- Investigations to develop and implement a short-term qualification for in-service under-qualified or unqualified lecturers is underway.
- Work is underway on the post provisioning norms for both TVET and Community Education and Training lecturers.

Maynier, Mr D to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)What is the (a) total value of contingent liabilities and (b) the detailed breakdown of each of the specified contingent liabilities according to (i) type, (ii) institution, (iii) exposure amount and/or (iv) amount drawn against the guarantee that the National Treasury has extended (aa) in each of the past three financial years and (bb) since 1 April 2017; (2) whether the National Treasury has received requests for further guarantees; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
1. Table 1 link below shows the total value of contingent liabilities (guarantees) issued and drawn-down, as well as a breakdown according to State Owned Companies (SOCs) for 2014/15 to 2016/17 as shown in the 2017 Budget Review.
Table 1: Government guarantee portfolio
http://pmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/RNW2823TABLE-171004.pdf
2. The National Treasury is currently considering a guarantee request of R3 billion by the South African Broadcasting Corporation. The request was submitted after the broadcaster has made a determination that it would face a liquidity challenge in the current financial year. The SABC has highlighted a number of factors that have contributed to the entity’s declining revenues and increasing operating costs. These include among others, the unfavourable economic conditions and a number of policy decisions with regard to content over the broadcaster’s various platforms, which have led to the decline in the advertising revenues as major advertisers withdrew their business due to declining listenership and viewership in some of the broadcaster’s crucial platforms. In addition, the salary bill and pay-outs of dismissed staff has contributed to an increase in costs. The loss in both advertising and TV license revenue along with increased costs, have contributed significantly to the losses incurred in both the 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years.
Where no guarantee requests have been submitted, it might be as a result of the fact that the specific SOCs’ financial matrices are such that the SOCs do not require government assistance or the SOCs are able to borrow on the strength of their own balance sheets.

Bergman, Mr D to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)Is (a) his department and (b) the Council on Higher Education (CHE) aware that a recent study suggested that a large proportion of academic publications emanating from our Universities are in so-called predatory journals; if not, why not; if so, what steps will they take in this regard; (2) does his department have a specific policy on these journals; if not, (a) why not and (b) will one be developed; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. Yes, the Department and the Council on Higher Education (CHE) are aware of the recent article published by Professor Johann Mouton of the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) based at Stellenbosch University. The article highlights the magnitude and prevalence of publications in predatory journals by South African authors and/or institutions. The article mentions that approximately 4 072 articles were published in predatory journals over a 10 year period. It should be noted that while this is of major concern, it represents only 3.4% of the total number of articles recognised for subsidy during this period.
The Department is concerned of unethical publishing and has already initiated mechanisms to curb this behaviour before the article was published. In an attempt to deal with this problem, the Department has funded a collaborative research programme, led by Professor Mouton at CREST focussing on the quality of research outputs. The programme aims to develop mechanisms to ensure that the Department only funds quality research. In the meantime, the Department will continue to seek satisfactory evidence on the validity of claims pertaining to predatory publishing, including investigations on the journal titles mentioned in the article. If they are confirmed, subsidies will be withdrawn for articles published in such journals, in line with the Research Output Policy (2015).
2. The Department has a specific policy - the Research Output Policy (2015) - that outlines the criteria to be used by institutions when claiming research outputs that qualify for subsidy. The 2015 policy was the result of the review of the Policy and Procedures for Measurement of Research Output of Public Higher Education Institutions (2003) that had been implemented since 2004. The purpose of the policy is to encourage research productivity by rewarding quality research output at public higher education institutions. The policy is not intended to measure all output, but to enhance productivity by recognising the major types of research output produced by higher education institutions, and uses appropriate proxies to determine the quality of such output. While increased productivity is a key driver behind the policy, what informed the 2015 revision was the need to ensure improved quality of subsidised research outputs.
In terms of the policy, institutions receive subsidy for the number of approved published research outputs in accredited journals, scholarly books and peer-reviewed published conference proceedings. The policy requires that all public higher education institutions submit to the Department their annual claims for research outputs published in journals, books and conference proceedings accompanied by the relevant supporting documentation. The policy also explains the quality mechanisms, which must be used to ensure that only quality publications receive subsidy. The policy holds institutions and researchers responsible for ensuring that they only claim for quality research outputs, and should an output claimed later be found to have been published in a journal that did not meet the required standards, funding will be withdrawn.

(1)With reference to the 2015-16 annual report of her department, (a) what are the names of each consultant paid from the R40,5 million spent on consultants in the specified financial year, (b) what consulting services were provided in each case, (c) what is the total amount paid to each consultant, (d) is there a service level agreement with each of the specified consultants and (e) what tender procedures were followed in each case; (2) with reference to the R8, 4 million and R7, 08 million spent on catering in Programmes 4 and 5 respectively, (a) for which events was catering required in each programme, (b) what is the total amount that each event cost in each of the specified programmes, (c) what is the total number of guests who attended each specified event in each programme and (d) in which province did each event take place?
Reply:
As per the latest Standard Chart Of Accounts (SCOA), consulting services refers “to specialist services and skills provided that are required for the achievement of a specific objective, with the aim of providing expert and professional advice on a time and material basis. It is unnecessary to maintain these skills in-house, since they are required on a once-off or temporary basis. The legal status of this person can be an individual, a partnership or a corporation. Remuneration is usually based on an hourly fee or a fixed fee for a product/deliverable”.
Due to the number of transactions involved that make up amount (R40, 5 million) disclosed in the Audited Financial Statements of the department, it is not possible to respond on the details required by the member. Based on the SCOA categories, numerous payments were processed for the following goods and services:
Payments for consultancy services rendered by specialised professional Accountants and Auditors firms. This excludes payments for services rendered by the Auditor-General personnel or firms contracted by the AGSA for audit services.
Payments for consultancy services rendered by an Audit Committee member. The legal status can be an individual.
Payment for consultancy services rendered by a Board Member for specialised professional services.
Payment for consultancy services for the provision of specialised professional or technical services related to Human Resources Management.
Payments for professional services for special commissions of enquiry and members of committees other than the Audit Committee and Board Members.
Payments for specialist research and advisory services related to the development, refinement or evaluation of policies to the senior management of an entity (Usually these kinds of specialist research and advisory services would be done by recognized specialists in the relevant field, who very often are working as individuals, universities or research institutes).
Payments for professional services for editors, translators (not in a court) and capturing of information (Transcripts). Included in this item are sign language translators or interpreters used e.g. in Parliament or when delivering public speeches.
Payments for professional services of a valuation of assets.
Payments to occupational safety and health and risk assessment consultants which is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in the work- or employment environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment.
Payment for consultancy services for the provision of specialised professional services regarding Financial, Asset and Procurement Management.
The department is however unable to answer the questions unless the member have a direct question on specific goods and services delivered and rendered respectively.

Jooste, Ms K to ask the Minister of Social Development
(1)(a) How many foster care placement orders will lapse by 31 December 2017 due to the lapsing of court orders and (b) what is the total value of the foster care grants for the specified foster care placements that will no longer be paid as a result of the foster care orders lapsing; (2) whether her department has taken any steps to prevent the specified crisis; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of all steps (a) taken to date and (b) planned to avert the crisis?
Reply:
(1)(a) The Department cannot preempt an actual number of orders that will lapse as the provinces are continually undertaking activities to ensure that foster care orders are extended. However, there is a projected number of 54 835 foster care orders that are due for extension between September and December 2017.
(b) It is anticipated that no grants will be unpaid as a result of the foster care court orders expiring, given the implementation of the North Gauteng High Court ruling, which allows SASSA to continue paying the foster child grants, even with expired orders, while the Department of Social Development works on updating the orders. There will thus not be any financial implications for unpaid foster child grants.
(2)(a) Nine provincial departments of Social Development put administrative mechanisms in place to manage the extension of foster care orders that include:
- National DSD and SASSA monitoring the implementation of provincial plans.
- Designation of teams from DSD and SASSA to monitor and track the provincial plans.
- Allocation of social workers to conduct investigations, compile reports with recommendations for extension of foster care orders.
- Social work reports to be considered by the:
- Designated officials within the Department to issue administrative extension orders in terms of the North Gauteng High Court Order.
- Presiding officers in the Children’s Courts before issuing an extension order.
(b) The 9 provincial departments of Social Development are continuing to implement the activities referred to in response (2)(a) and putting plans in place to strengthen their mechanisms to ensure that the foster care orders that require to be extended are processed before 1 November 2017.

(1) (a) There is, unfortunately, no provision in the public service for such a contract to be ‘re-activated’. The stock assessment service must be procured through the prescribed supply chain processes. The department has been working hard to make sure that such a service is procured. As a result, the prescribed supply chain process is currently underway to procure stock assessment services.
(b) In the interim, FishSA has arranged for the Department’s stock assessment requirements to be met and provided to the Department by the previous contract holder. FishSA, whose members benefit immensely from the sustainable management of fishery resources by the Department, thought is prudent to maintain the same level of expertise and close the gap whilst the Department follows the prescribed supply chain processes to secure an expert stock assessment service provider.
(2) The Department is currently working on a plan to develop capacity in this area. The plan entails up-skilling of existing staff in fisheries stock assessment as appropriate, and creating new posts to which young scientists can be appointed and fully trained to be able to undertake fisheries stock assessments. However, the current situation of severe budget cuts makes it impossible to train new people as the Department lacks the necessary funding to cover the Cost of Employee (CoE) budget needed for the creation of the appropriate posts.

Van Der Walt, Ms D to ask the MINISTER OF PUBLIC SERVICE AND ADMINISTRATION
(1) What are the details of the processes that must be followed with regard to deviations from the criteria for the appointment of (a) Directors-General and (b) Deputy Directors-General, as outlined in the Senior Management Service Handbook and the Public Service Act, Act 103 of 1994; (2) Whether all current (a) Directors-General and (b) Deputy Directors-General of each Government department comply with the specified criteria; if not what are the details in each case?
Reply:
(1)(a) and (b) The Public Service Act, 103 of 1994 and the Senior Management Handbook, are implemented in terms of the Public Service Regulations (PSR), 2016. Regulation 4 of the PSR, 2016 provides that the Minister of for Public Service and Administration may, under justifiable circumstances, authorise a deviation from any regulation. This therefore means that deviations requested by relevant Executive Authorities may be authorised if justifiable reasons exist. In assessing a request for deviation, due consideration is given to aspects such as:
• Whether the department has provided sufficient justification for such
a request for deviation, including attaching all accompanying documents necessary for the Minister for Public Service and Administration to make an informed decision.
• Whether there has been proven effort to fill the post and that no applicant met the requirements of the post as advertised.
• Whether granting approval to deviate has future ramifications on the intentions of the Public Service legislative prescripts.
(2) According to my knowledge, all current (a) Director-General and (b) Deputy Directors-General of each Government department comply with the specified criteria.
