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.

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.

McLoughlin, Mr AR to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
(1)With reference to the 59,1% underspend in respect of his department’s Programme 6 in the first quarter of the 2017-18 financial year, what amount has actually been spent to date on the (a) Critical Infrastructure, (b) Manufacturing Development Incentives, (c) Service Sector Development Incentives and (d) Special Economic Zones Programmes; (2) have (a) the delays caused by outstanding compliance documentation required for the processing of claims and (b) claims that failed to comply with the guidelines been rectified in each case; if not, in each case, (a) why not and (b) what steps have been put in place to rectify the situation; if so, are there any further foreseen causes for future delays?NW3376E
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.

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.

(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?

Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(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.

2 (a) In line with legislation and prescripts that regulate Performance Management and Development System in the Public Service, at least 1,5% is annually budgeted for payment of performance bonuses for employees. However, the Minister has the prerogative, in special circumstances to exceed the 1,5% allocated budget.
It is based on the above background that the 2017/18 projected amount for payment of performance bonuses to the deserving employees’ amount to: R6, 750,315.00.
2 (b) The Department is currently not in a position to provide detailed breakdown of the bonus that will be paid out to each employee in each salary level in the 2017-18 financial year, as this is dependent on the individual performance outcome which will only be determined at the end of the financial year (i.e. 31 May 2018).

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

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.”

The disbursement of research and technology development funds is primarily the function of the NRF and TIA, respectively. The NRF has a dual mandate to disburse research funds and conduct in-house R&D through national facilities. In 2013, the Minister of Science and Technology published a set of regulations on which institutions the NRF can support ("Declaration of Research Institutions fundable by the NRF"). The NRF adheres to this 'Declaration' document in deciding which institutions to support. It must be pointed out that according to the Declarations, these institutions are public research institutions that conduct basic research (in line with the mandate of the NRF) and are established by relevant Acts to support basic research priorities of different line departments. Examples in this regard include the South African National Parks, the South African Weather Services, and the Onderstepoort Biological Products. TIA supports organisations that are aligned with its mandate of innovations through technology development, and o not have grant-making functions. Tables 2 to 4 provide details of the institutions funded by TIA,NRF, and SANSA.

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.

I am advised by the CEO of the Industrial Development Corporation of the following details related to the question:
“The total value of the IDC approved loan was R48,5 million for the manufacture of compressed logs targeting mainly the braai and fireplace market. The logs were to be branded as Eco Blaze and manufactured from recycled green waste. There were repayment terms specified for the loan. The loan agreements are structured in line with the cash-flows of the business.
“The Deputy Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr Ben Martins did not play any role in securing the loan for Semona Eco.
“The IDC’s investment decision-making process is such that no single person can take a decision on whether or not to invest in a particular project. This is a decision reserved for various investment committees within the IDC.
“To date the IDC has obtained judgment against Semona Eco and its guarantors. Additional steps taken are listed below:
- we have liquidated Semona Eco;
- we have liquidated Semona Oil (a guarantor);
- laying of criminal charges against Semona Eco & its officials with the Sandton Commercial Crimes Unit of SAPS;
- the listing of Semona Eco and its officials on the list of entities and persons the IDC will not do business with; and
- the institution of sequestration proceedings against Ms Lorraine Masipa (set down for hearing on 30 August 2017).”
