South Africa was not the Chair of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation from 2016 to August 2017. 

It should be noted that SADC through the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation remains seized with the political developments in the DRC. The Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation works on the basis of the Troika which at the time comprised of the Current Chair which was the United Republic of Tanzania, the Republic of Angola as Incoming-Chair and the Republic of Mozambique as Outgoing Chair.

Following the demonstrations led by the opposition parties in the DRC on 19 and 20 September 2016 which resulted in violence, deaths and destruction of property, the Chairperson of the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation, H.E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli, President of the Republic of the United Republic of Tanzania mandated the deployment of an Organ Troika Ministerial Assessment Mission to the DRC from 10 to 13 October 2016. The Assessment Mission was led by the Hon. Dr. Augustine P. Mahiga, Minister of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation of the United Republic of Tanzania as Chairperson, who was accompanied by Hon. Georges R. Chikoti, Minister of External Relations of the Republic of Angola and Deputy Chairperson and  Hon. Patricio Jose, Deputy Minister of National Defence of the Republic of Mozambique representing the Outgoing Chairperson  of the  Ministerial Committee of the Organ (MCO) on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation.

The Organ Troika Assessment Mission made the following observations and conclusions:

1. The political situation in the DRC remained volatile, thus necessitating the need for SADC to remain closely seized with the DRC situation and required deployment of  regular follow-up missions and continued expression of SADC support of the DRC;
2. The Inclusive National Political Dialogue and the implementation of the outcomes thereof remains paramount in terms of garnering popular support to the electoral process, and the need to ensure the conduct of peaceful credible elections;
3. The process of updating the voters’ register should be expedited and finalised within the time line to be agreed upon by the stakeholders;
4. The regular deployment of follow-up SADC missions, including the SADC Electoral Advisory Council (SEAC), has been prioritised and will remain a priority in order to enhance the visibility of SADC’s continued involvement and to demonstrate  SADC’s support to the DRC peace, security and electoral processes;
5. SADC to ensure that there is high level engagement with the Government of the DRC, especially within the current period up to December 2016, in order to encourage the Government and other stakeholders to refrain from resorting to violence, and instead continue to dialogue with opposition groups with a view to addressing the outstanding issues; and
6. The International Community should be encouraged to support the DRC National Independent Electoral Commission (CENI) financially and materially in relation to the on-going voters’ registration process that will facilitate the conduct of combined presidential, parliamentary, and provincial elections, to be followed by local elections.

A Double Troika Summit of Heads of State and Government was also held in Lozitha, Kingdom of Swaziland on 17 March 2017 and noted that the political and security developments in the DRC and:

1. commended the President of the DRC H.E. Joseph Kabila Kabange, the Government of the DRC, the National Episcopal Conference of Catholic Bishops for the DRC (CENCO), political parties and other stakeholders for the continued  efforts in addressing the political security challenges;
2. noted and commended CENCO for the renewed meditation efforts, and urged the DRC stakeholders to finalise the Specific Arrangements for the Implementation of the 31st December 2016 Political Agreement, in particular the nomination of the Chairperson of the National Monitoring Committee, and encouraged the opposition to expeditiously submit the nominees for the position of the Prime Minister (now appointed);
3. called upon the International Community to support the DRC in the electoral processes that are expected to facilitate peaceful and successful elections; and
4. mandated the Organ Ministerial Troika to immediately conduct a follow-up mission to the DRC, on a date to be agreed upon in consultation with the Chairperson of the Organ and the Government of the DRC.

These efforts demonstrate that SADC remains committed in ensuring that the situation in the DRC is resolved in order for peace and security to prevail.  South Africa will play her role as SADC chairperson to ensure that the peace and stability goals of SADC in the region are achieved.

The negotiations towards establishing the Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) are building on the trade liberalisation progress and achievements of the Regional Economic Communities such as our own, the Southern Africa Development Community, (SADC) and others.

The aim is to enhance intra-regional trade and ensure that African countries trade with each other on better terms than third countries. A free trade area implies granting parties thereto preferential access in terms of tariff duties, which has implications for revenue. Each negotiating party makes its own sovereign assessment about the benefits of entering into the CFTA negotiations and whether they potentially outweigh the negative considerations that arise. It is therefore not possible to predict with any degree of precision, how the CFTA will impact on the revenue base of the negotiating state parties. This will depend on the export profile of each negotiating state party to the CFTA.

The overriding imperative of the CFTA is to boost intra-Africa trade, promote market integration and industrialisation in Africa. A bigger market will improve the prospects of African countries to attract investment, promote the development of regional value-chains thus increase the potential of diversifying the economic base. We believe that this will contribute positively to economic growth and development in Africa. 

South Africa takes the CFTA negotiations very seriously, as the intervention has the potential to contribute positively to economic growth and development in Africa. Our commitment to the CFTA is evidenced by the fact that South Africa hosted the meeting of the AU Assembly of Heads of States that launched the CFTA negotiations. The CFTA is also one of the priorities of Agenda 2063 and the African Union Assembly of Heads of States receives regular feedback on progress. To demonstrate our commitment to the expeditious finalisation of the CFTA negotiations, South Africa recently hosted meetings of the CFTA technical working groups and the negotiating forum from 20 August to 2 September 2017, in Durban. Further, South Africa has made specific proposals, towards the conclusion of the CFTA negotiations.

In addition, the CFTA negotiations are receiving the highest political attention in South Africa, to provide the necessary guidance to speedily move towards the conclusion of the CFTA. South Africa is represented at all AU Trade Ministers meetings wherein the CFTA is discussed and direction given by AU Ministers of Trade to the negotiators. The International Trade and Economic Development Division of the dti advances and defends South Africa’s trade interests in the CFTA negotiations. The positions that South Africa advances in the CFTA negotiations are an outcome of consultations that take place in NEDLAC.

South Africa has advanced the development integration approach to the CFTA that combines market integration, industrial and infrastructure development. This approach ensures that Africa addresses the fundamental constraints to intra-Africa trade and Africa’s integration into the global economy, which include productive and supply-side constraints. This approach has been adopted by the Continent as a good basis to advance regional integration. This ensures that the benefits of the CFTA are broadened through the diversification of the export base and promoting inter-connectivity through infrastructure development.

Having said that, South Africa advances the retention of the policy space for development, particularly for Least Developed Countries. We defend the retention of policy space in any free trade agreement for the advancement of national development objectives such as industrialisation, access to affordable public health and the introduction of other development advancing measures in all free trade negotiations that we are party to, including the CFTA. South Africa supports free trade agreements that expressly recognise differentials in levels of development, and accordingly create differentiated obligations. South Africa is therefore committed to ensuring that the CFTA benefits all AU member states.

The Government of South Africa accepts the outcome of the Summit on the admission of Morocco to promote unity and coherence within the Continent. Member states expressed strong views that by virtue of acceding to the Constitutive Act, Morocco should abide by all provisions of the Act and immediately resolve its relations with the Western Sahara to ensure territorial integrity between the two nations. South Africa also supports the Summit’s decision that the African Union should prioritise the resolution of the impasse between the two countries to change the status quo, failing which the principles on which the African Union was constituted, as articulated in the Constitutive Act, would be undermined. We fully support the right of the people of Western Sahara to self-determination.

South Africa supports the adoption of the Kagame Report as its general thrust seeks to strengthen the African Union (AU) and improve its functioning and effectiveness.  South Africa will continue to safeguard the values of the AU Constitutive Act, and in this regard will continue to engage in AU discussions on the implementation of the report in a sustainable manner.

52.1 Irregular expenditure (continued)

a) B2B engineering tools expenditure incurred without PFMA approval

The matter regarding the expenditure incurred on the B2B Engineering Tools project of R310 million before PFMA approval was reported in 2015. The expenditure was subsequently derecognised by the board in accordance with the National Treasury Guideline issued on 19 April 2016.

b) Purchase of land without investment committee approval

The matter regarding the purchase of land without investment committee approval was reported in 2015. The irregular expenditure incurred has been condoned by the relevant authority and has therefore been removed from the register of irregular expenditure.

c) Breach of PPPFA: monetary thresholds – incorrect tender process applied

Irregular expenditure of R95 million was incurred in breach of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA) as follows:

• • the PPPFA requires that monetary thresholds to determine the appropriate point-scoring criteria applicable to specific transactions be considered inclusive of VAT. Eskom erroneously applied the thresholds exclusive of VAT. Certain procurement was therefore done using the incorrect point-scoring criteria and resulted in a breach of PPPFA. Irregular expenditure incurred on affected transactions amounted to R95 million (2016: R11 million) of which R13 million was condoned in 2017, including R11 million reported in 2016. An amount of R92 million was awaiting condonation at 31 March 2017. Eskom is ensuring that regular reviews are conducted and that buyers are made aware and retrained on the supply chain management procedure
  • Eskom’s exemption from the PPPFA expired on 7 December 2012. Eskom paid R0.4 million (2016: R30 million) during the year on contracts that were entered into between 8 December 2012 and 31 March 2013 that were inconsistent with the requirements of the PPPFA. These contracts were not recalled or corrected at the time and Eskom continued to meet its obligations in terms of these contracts. All the affected transactions took place in the normal course of business and were subject to Eskom’s approved procurement policy in force at the time

d) Breach of NEMA

Eskom unlawfully commenced with construction activities for a 132 kV power line in the Eastern Cape Province along a route that was not authorised by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA). An amount of R7 million was incurred on the portion of the line constructed in contravention of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA). Eskom rectified the breach and received the required authorisation from DEA on 2 September 2016. Eskom paid a penalty of R1 million imposed by DEA. Disciplinary action was concluded against three employees involved.

e) Use of labour broker – internal processes not followed

Eskom processes were not followed for the procurement of certain goods and services through a labour broker. The senior managers concerned were disciplined and the labour broker instructed to discontinue sundry payments. The expenditure was condoned and no further action is required.

f) Tender processes not adhered to – commitments made before approval

Irregular expenditure of R549 million comprising 245 incidents was incurred as a result of non-adherence to internal procurement processes and employees contravening the Eskom Delegation of Authority. Incidents totalling R56 million are awaiting condonation.

g) Procurement of services – incorrect classification as an emergency

Services procured to the value of R4 million (2016: R4 million) were incorrectly classified as an emergency in the procurement process. This matter will be submitted for condonation in 2018.

h) Quality management – tender process not followed and insufficient delegation of authority

Irregular expenditure estimated at R1 560 million was incurred because of the placement of contracts without proper delegation of authority or without following established processes during the 2008-2015 financial years.

Multi-disciplinary investigations were conducted into indications of mismanagement and allegations of irregularities in the quality management department. Possible fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R886 million regarding this matter was reported in 2016.

A further investigation was recently finalised by an independent external company with the following outcome:

• • identification of irregular expenditure of R1 560 million because of the placement of contracts without proper delegation of authority or without following established processes during the 2008-2015 financial years with the bulk of the payments made on these contracts occurring in the 2013 and 2014 financial years
  • estimated fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R510 million compared to the original estimate of R886 million reported in 2016. Refer to 52.2(a)
  • losses due to criminal conduct of R2 million. Refer to 52.3(b)

Actions taken to date include the following:

• • two employees have been dismissed (one is a senior manager)
  • a criminal case was opened with the South African Police Service to investigate possible fraudulent transactions
  • civil action against Eskom by one of the main suppliers is being defended
  • a fidelity claim has been lodged in terms of a commercial crime insurance policy with a cover limit of R3 billion for losses arising from fraudulent or dishonest acts committed by employees. This claim will be concluded once the legal matters have been finalised

Further disciplinary, civil and/or criminal action as appropriate will be considered against other parties involved, including action to recover losses.

The following contract management process improvements have been implemented:

• • improvement in the monitoring of performance by the SHEQ panel service providers with regular inspections and enforcement of consequence management for poor or ineffective delivery
  • effective segregation of duties
  • reconciliation of task orders to scope, budget, timesheets, invoices and payments, with approval of timesheets by project managers on site
  • limiting of long-term task orders and close monitoring of performance to ensure resources are not idle nor unproductive
  • training of employees on effective electronic documentation management

i) Breach of PPPFA – tax clearance certificates

PPPFA regulations require that tenders may only be awarded to a person whose tax matters have been declared to be in order by SARS. SARS only issues such a confirmation to a person registered as a taxpayer. Three contracts with an award value of R340 million were reported as being under investigation in 2016. A further R126 million was incurred on these contracts during the year. They were confirmed as irregular in 2017 since no SARS declaration was found to be obtained at the time of award and were condoned during the year. There were 59 contracts that were similarly affected during 2017. Irregular expenditure of R987 million was incurred on these contracts during the year and is awaiting condonation.

j) Non-compliance with CIDB regulations

Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) regulations specify the different levels of grading that contractors must have based on the value of the contracts to be awarded (not a requirement for World Bank-funded contracts). Expenditure of R89 million was identified and condoned during the year on two foreign contracts awarded in terms of World Bank funding where the grading level was not in line with CIDB regulations. A further R8 million was incurred on a contract for which tender invitations were not advertised on the CIDB website as per the CIDB Regulation 24.

k) Breach of PFMA – use of sole source

There were three incidents of irregular expenditure totalling R96 million where the use of sole sources could not be adequately justified.

l) Breach of PFMA – tender processes not adhered to

There were 11 incidents of irregular expenditure totalling R189 million where approved supply chain management processes were not adhered to.

m) Irregular expenditure under investigation

There are numerous additional instances of procurement that are subject to investigation, namely:

• • tender processes not adhered to including breaches of delegation of authority
  • incorrect PPPFA points thresholds applied
  • non-compliance with CIDB regulations
  • lack of supporting documentation including tax clearance certificates
  • award made to a company on a sole source basis which might not comply with the criteria of sole source and contract amount determined on a contingency fee basis
  • non-declaration of conflicts of interest by employees and tenderers giving rise to a risk of undue influence
  • contract information not reflected correctly in the reporting system

These matters are being investigated and will be disclosed in a subsequent period should they prove to be irregular.

n) Relevant authority for condonations

Condonations are currently approved by the relevant internal governance committee unless it is specifically required to be approved by National Treasury. Eskom is awaiting clarification from National Treasury on whether a relevant government department responsible for a particular piece of legislation must approve condonation of a breach relating to that legislation.

 

52.2 Fruitless and wasteful expenditure

a) Incidents of fruitless and wasteful expenditure above the materiality threshold

There was one (2016: one) major incident of fruitless and wasteful expenditure incurred by the group during the year that exceeded the materiality threshold of R25 million. This matter is carried forward from 2016.

Fruitless and wasteful expenditure incurred by the quality management department

An investigation by an independent external party confirmed fruitless and wasteful expenditure estimated at R510 million compared to the original estimate of R886 million reported in the previous financial year. Refer to 52.1(h).

b) Incidents of fruitless and wasteful expenditure below the materiality threshold

Total fruitless and wasteful expenditure which individually or collectively (where items are closely related) were below the materiality threshold was R37 million (2016: R93 million) comprising 210 (2016: 655) incidents of which 10 incidents accounted for R22 million. Management continues to institute preventive and corrective measures, including disciplinary action, as considered appropriate.

c) Fruitless and wasteful expenditure under investigation

There are currently 84 incidents of alleged fruitless and wasteful expenditure under investigation, of which none is expected to exceed the materiality threshold of R25 million. The nature and extent of potential losses incurred cannot be reasonably ascertained at this stage. It is important to note that these are allegations and many of these occurrences may not qualify as fruitless and wasteful expenditure upon conclusion of the investigations.

 

52.3 Criminal conduct

a) Theft of conductors, cabling and related equipment

Losses due to conductor theft, cabling and related equipment totalled R70 million (2016: R85 million), involving 5 734 incidents (2016: 5 161 incidents). Actions to combat these losses are managed by the Eskom Network Equipment Crime Committee in collaboration with other affected state-owned companies and the South African Police Services. The combined effort resulted in 235 (2016: 229) arrests and R5 million (2016: R5 million) worth of stolen material was recovered.

b) Fraud

Eskom concluded 15 (2016: 14) investigations into fraud during the reporting period involving R24 million (2016: R33 million), including a R2 million loss due to criminal conduct on the quality management matter. Refer to note 52.1(h). The existing internal control measures in the affected areas as well as similar areas have been reviewed and enhanced. Disciplinary, criminal as well as civil proceedings have been instituted against those involved.

c) Non-technical revenue losses

Non-technical losses are estimated at R1.3 billion (2016: R1.2 billion). These arise mainly from meter tampering and bypasses, illegal connections to the electricity network and illegal vending of electricity.

Interventions to reduce non-technical energy losses:

• • implementation of technologies in the form of smart/split meters with protective enclosures to prevent access to the meter
  • disconnection of illegal connections, meter tampers and imposition of penalties (tamper fines)
  • estimation and recovery of revenue for historic unaccounted energy where tampered metering installations are encountered
  • revision of supply group codes on prepaid meters to prevent the use of illegal prepaid vouchers
  • investigations and prosecution of criminals perpetrating electricity theft through the sale of illegal prepaid vouchers, illegal electrification and meter tampering services
  • customer education, social mobilisation and partnership campaigns to drive behaviour change

The legal instruments relating to the implementation of the aspects of Vision 2063 relating to Free Movement are still being negotiated by the African Union Member States. Upon adoption by the African Union, the Member States will have to sign and, in accordance with their constitutional requirements, ratify and domesticate the legal instruments.

In the case of South Africa, if the legal instruments are ratified and domesticated, all relevant Departments and their entities or agencies will have to implement them as it would be the law in the Republic.

No, the Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) has not set targets for the country to achieve a particular rate using the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s (GEMS) index known as the Total Entrepreneurial Activity rate, which measures start-up activity in a country’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.

a) The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor is not the only source of data which can be used to determine early stage entrepreneurial activity. The DSBD is therefore, not only limited to this source of data as a tool to measure nor determine the entrepreneurial activity rate. The DSBD will continue to consider other relevant research available to enhance its work.

b) The DSBD is in the process commissioning a “2016 Annual Review on the status of Small Business and Cooperatives in South Africa”. The findings from this research will determine a decision whether there is a need for target setting of early stage entrepreneurial activity.

1. The National Director of Public Prosecutions has informed me that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is not investigating this matter. The power to investigate this case resorts with the South African Police Service (SAPS), who are investigating the matter.

The SAPS investigating docket was handed to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) on 3 May 2017 after which guidance was provided to the investigating officer on aspects relating to the investigation after which the docket was returned to the SAPS. The docket has not yet been resubmitted to the NPA as the investigation is yet to be concluded.

2. The SAPS approached the Senior Public Prosecutor with concerns regarding the manner in which the matter was dealt with. The Chief Prosecutor subsequently investigated the allegations and was satisfied that the prosecutors had provided the necessary guidance and had taken the appropriate steps in the circumstances of that matter. The Chief Prosecutor advised that no further steps were warranted.

I have been advised that the Master is not in a position to appoint Trustees, and the reasons for not issuing the letters of authority are as follows:

a) The judgment and order have been taken on appeal, hence the operation and execution of the latter have been suspended; and

b) The application by the Trustees Elect in terms of Section 18 (3) of the Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013, to allow the order to be operational and executable pending the outcome of the appeal, was dismissed by the Full Bench of the Western Cape High Court.

1. No, the office is not authorised to close at 15h00 as the Department’s offices official hours are 08h00 to 16h00 on weekdays. The Office Manager however, has discretion to decide on the queue cut off time depending on the number of clients on the day to be served. This depends on the number of clients already inside the office before closing time. This minimises the risk of clients refusing to leave the office at knock-off time and thus forcing the staff to perform unpaid overtime.

2. The office is short-staffed by one official currently and is operating with four officials. The standard norm for the staff compliment for a modernised office is a minimum of five officials. An additional post was approved for the office recently and the process of recruitment of the fifth official for the office has been completed and is awaiting approval of the appointment.

(a) and (b) The Report on Adult Prostitution (Project 107) of the South African Law Reform Commission (the Report) was released into the public domain on 26 May 2017. The public and interested parties may consider and comment on the Report. The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is embarking on the consultation process with internal governmental stakeholders on the legislative and non-legislative interventions due to the cross cutting impact of the recommendations. This internal process will consider the recommendations in a holistic and coordinated manner. A public participation process will be followed to facilitate debate and input from members of the public.

(c) The Department has indicated that this process of internal consultation will begin in October 2017. This process will be extensive as it must delve into all aspects of the implementation of the non-legislative recommendations. I will thereafter receive a report from the Department which will enable me to make a decision on the introduction of legislation.

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.

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.

Maintenance funded from the Education Infrastructure Grant is not allocated per school but per project. As a result, it will not be possible to provide the budget and expenditure per school in each district in each province. 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.

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. However Council is working on a process of re-conceptualizing vetting and verification with an ultimate goal of streamlining the processes and establishing a formal institutional network that will play a more meaningful role in this area. 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.

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

3. For Section 21 schools that did not opt for central procurement, the following measures have been put in place by provinces to ensure that textbooks are ordered by schools that have not met the deadline:

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. (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.

The State Security Agency does not profile their members, who are South Africans in their own right. The intergration of statutory and non-statutory members happened back in 1995 when the erstwhile National Intelligence Agency was created in terms of applicable legislation.
