The Animal Improvement Act (Act No. 62 of 1998) does not make any provision for a Commission of Enquiry but a Committee of Enquiry. The department received a complaint regarding the conduct of the South African Boerboel Breeders Society (SABBS)

(a) (b) The department has initiated a process to request the Minister to a appoint a Committee of Enquiry in terms of section 22 of the Animal Improvement Act (Act No. 62 of 1998) to investigate the complaint.

(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.

(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.

1. The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries had been deploying a number of officials as Fisheries Control Officers in Richards Bay, Durban and in Port Edward as well as Fisheries Control Officers operating on its Fishery Patrol Vessels. The officials are on various Salary Levels and therefore it is not easy to quantify the exact salary costs. The rangers are not employed by the Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries, but are employed by the KZN Ezemvelo Wild Life and they are responsible for compliance and enforcement of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in KZN.

a) In 2009, my Department conducted a study to assess the level of compliance of the twelve Colleges against the approved Norms and Standards the Governance and Financing Framework for ATIs. The assessment study report revealed that no single College complied fully with the established Norms and Standards albeit in differing degrees. Flowing from the approved Norms and Standards and the Governance and Financing Framework for ATIs including the findings of the compliance study, a Revitalisation Plan for the Colleges of Agriculture was developed.

The Colleges Revitalization Plan (CRP) is guided by the following critical pillars:

• Pillar 1: Improvement of Infrastructure and equipment
• Pillar 2: Curriculum review with emphasis on value addition
• Pillar 3: Accreditation and registration of Colleges
• Pillar 4: Leadership development and change management
• Pillar 5: Strengthening of Information and Communication Technology including Colleges Governance

In support of the process of revitalizing the Colleges of Agriculture, my Department approached the National Treasury in 2009/10 to present the case of the then twelve Colleges and to solicit funding for their improvement. My Department commenced with its National Treasury approved and funded Colleges Revitalization Plan in 2011/12 financial year. Since then, my Department has been allocating a substantial amount of money to Colleges to augment their equitable budget.

In support of revitalising these agricultural colleges my Department has since managed to revitalise and build several infrastructure projects such as lecture rooms, libraries, laboratories, computer laboratories, farmer training facilities, Veterinary clinics, piggery, dairy houses, animal handling facilities, new student residences and nursery houses amongst others. My Department has further procured machinery and equipment to support the teaching and learning in these colleges. My Department remains committed to improving ICT infrastructure and procurement of related equipment to ensure that the teaching and learning in these colleges talks to the current generation and technology expectations. The Department has also made strides in capacitating and upgrading qualifications of College staff and lecturers.

Through a partnership with the Netherlands government my Department engaged in a process of reviewing the entire curriculum offered at these colleges to ensure that it is responsive to the needs of the sector. Most of the colleges are now implementing competency based learning curriculum to ensure that their graduates are ready for the sector when they leave the colleges.

In 2012 my Department engaged in a robust process of ensuring that all the Colleges are accredited with the relevant statutory bodies and I’m happy to report that by the end of 2013 all the Colleges were accredited by Council on Higher Education. My Department continues to engage with other statutory bodies such as Quality Council for Trades and Occupations to ensure that these colleges remain relevant to the skills and occupations needs of the sector.

b) Challenges in implementing the Colleges Revitalisation Plan:

• The budget allocation by National Treasury for implementation of the plan is deficient
• The Economic Competitive Support Package is coming to an end during the 2017/18 financial year which will negatively affect the revitalisation of these colleges
• Timelines in the implementation of infrastructure projects through the Department of Public Works continues to pose a serious challenge
• High staff turnover due to lower remuneration packages in these colleges remain a serious challenge
• Slow pace by some Provinces in implementing the approved Norms and Standards for the Agricultural Training Institutes.

As per the initial written response of the Director-General addressed to Ms D Kohler, MP on the same matter, the Department advertised the position of Deputy Director: Intergovernmental Relations (Ref: 2017/47) with relaxed minimum appointment requirements. The advertisement of the position with relaxed qualifications followed internal approval processes after the Department sort and received a legal opinion from counsel who was briefed through State Attorney in relation to an employee who is in possession of matric certificate with more than 10 years’ experience at a Deputy Director level within Intergovernmental Relations unit. The legal opinion advised the Department to absorb the employee into a permanent employment on the basis of an established case of a reasonable expectation for a permanent appointment given the period in which the position was renewed over the years

Although counsel has advised the Department to absorb the employee without following recruitment processes, an option which is permissible in law, the Department deemed it necessary to promote competition and advertise the position with relaxed minimum appointments in order to accommodate the employee in question. The relaxation of qualifications is meant to create an opportunity for the employee to apply and compete with others for the position without a guarantee of an employment.

The Department has however abandoned the process of filling the position with relaxed qualifications.

(a)The Annual Financial Statements of SFF Association do not only reflect R2.1 Billion for the sale of strategic fuel stocks, but they reflect the total proceeds of $280 million. The funds were accounted as follows:

Income Statement:

• Credit: Revenue at R3.9 Billion
• Debit: Cost of Sales at R1.8 Billion
• Debit: Transfer to EQF of R2.1 billion

Balance Sheet

Included in the Cash and cash equivalents and Other Financial Assets of R6.4 Billion, is R3.9 Billion ($280 million) pertaining to the sale of strategic fuel stocks. The rand value will be determined when the dollars are converted into rands. Currently the rand amount will fluctuates depending on the exchange rate that is used on the day that financial statements are prepared. Further to reflecting the cash in the balance sheet, SFF has also raised a liability to Equalisation fund. The liability is triggered by section 3A (c) of the Central Energy Fund Act.

(b) As clarified above the money is accounted for and it is part of the $280 million that is banked in a Customer Foreign Account (CFC) with one of South Africa’s major banks to preserve its dollar denomination.

(c) If and when the proceeds are paid into the Equalisation Fund, the CEF Act requires that Minister of Energy with the concurrence of the Minister of Finance to determine those amounts that are not required to execute the CEF Group mandate as defined in the CEF Act should be transferred into the National Revenue Fund.

1. AIRPORTS COMPANY SOUTH AFRICA LIMITED (ACSA)

1. Airports Company SA integrated the Paterson job grading system, applicable to all positions in the company based on the grade of the position, pay scales are defined, noting the company job family classification framework per job, defining the minimum midpoint and the maximum of such pay scale. In the context of “equal pay for equal work” principles the ACSA further integrated pay ranges which defines the remuneration gap between lowest and highest earning employees, therefore supporting equality and transparency. The pay scales of the company are benchmarked against the South African market, on an annual basis whilst the pay policy is anchored at the 50th percentile.

2. Remuneration is dealt with in accordance with 1 above. All employees are therefore remunerated within the pay scale as well as pay range, differentials in pay, within the pay scale, will be dictated by qualification experience technical capability critical and scarce skills as well employee considerations.

3. All employees of the company belong to a medical aid noting that is part of company policy. Employees inside the bargaining unit are subsidized, principally on a 50/50 basis.

4. Airports Company South Africa describes all positions in the company through detailed role profiles, these role profiles amongst others describe the purpose of the job, KPI’s to be achieved, competencies as well as qualifications. Recruitment, Selection and appointment processes are therefore based on this meaning, the most suitably qualified employee will be appointed.

2. CROSS-BOADER ROAD TRANSPORT AGENCY (C-BRTA)

1. At the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (C-BRTA), salaries and salary scales are determined through a process of job evaluation and grading which is based on the remuneration philosophy. The job evaluation system used within the C-BRTA is the Peromnes job evaluation system, which directly correlates with all known Job Evaluation Systems.

2. Yes, employees who are employed on the same level may be remunerated differently depending on their skills, experience and earnings prior to joining the Agency. This may also be attributed to the fact that some remuneration bands per job grade level overlap between levels, and as a result, employees who are on the same level may be remunerated differently within the remuneration bands.

3. In the C-BRTA it is mandatory that all employees are covered by medical aid, either as principal members or as dependents to their spouses. The remuneration packages offered within the Agency are all inclusive Total Cost to Company.

4. The Agency employees progress from one position to another through an open, fair competition process where everyone who meet the minimum requirements of the job is given a fair chance to compete in an interview.

3. SOUTH AFRICAN MARITIME SAFETY AUTHORITY (SAMSA)

1. The salary scales are determined by developing a job grade using the Patterson job grading system. This determines the seniority level of the job.

We used job grades to do internal benchmarking as well as a per-grade benchmark with other State Owned Enterprises (SOE). The survey used was 21st Century Pay Solutions survey amongst State Owned Enterprises including those in the Department of Transport.

We positioned a rational pay curve after analyzing the compo ratio with external benchmarks and created the pay ranges taking into consideration the seniority levels in the organization and pay ranges that allows for overlap.

Salaries are determined based on the job’s grade and the salary range the job falls under. A number of factors are then taken into consideration including amongst others: work experience, previous salary.

2. Yes. The reason may be seniority, level of responsibility, qualifications, experience, and scarce skills

3. Yes. The reasons include belonging to spouses’ medical aid, on fixed term contract, have medical aid but has not transferred to SAMSA’s billing. Historically, medical aid was not compulsory, therefore a few employees are not part of medical aid due to additional cost. These employees are being engaged at the moment to choose cheaper medical aid options.

4. PORTS REGULATOR OF SOUTH AFRICA

1. The Ports Regulator performed a salary benchmarking exercise in 2014/15 financial year. In the exercise the Regulator utilised the services of Rem-channel from PWC to compare the positions in the Ports Regulator organogram to similar positions in the database from Rem-Channel which includes both private and public sector remuneration data. The results were extracted and then also compared in the equate process with the Department of Transport to ensure that the salary levels and bands are in line with Government. The results from the latter process were then used to develop the salary scales and levels within the band for all positions in the Regulator organogram. It must be noted that the Ports Regulator is a unique organisation in the country and not easily comparable in its job descriptions to other transport entities.

2. There’s no instance of any official being remunerated more than others as all salaries given to employees are based on their qualifications, experience and skill and the job requirements.

3. All employees of the Ports Regulator have medical aid as per the requirements of the conditions of services of the Regulator, but employees may choose not to take this up as part of their package.

4. The Ports Regulator does not have a practice of promotions. All positions are filled through a normal recruitment process to ensure that competent talent is sourced for the vacant funded position, whether from internally or externally.

4. Amongst the number of factors that get considered in recruitment is meeting the minimum requirements of the job advertised.

 

6. PASSENGER RAIL AGENCY OF SOUTH AFRICA (PRASA)

1. PRASA uses the Paterson Grading System to determine pay scales.

2. Some officials get remunerated at the same level, but at a higher band than their peers because of the following reasons:

i) Their entry into the job market may have happened at different times.

ii) Their job experience is not at the same level, one might be compensated at a 25th percentile, but the other at a median whilst in the same job family and level.

iii) The span of control, decision making complexity, and accountability levels may also contribute to the different remuneration.

3. Yes. Employees get a medical aid subsidy as part of their Total Guaranteed pay, however, some employees opt out of medical aid.

4. This rarely happenes. Promotion in the same job families takes into account qualifications, competence, capability and performance and not only qualifications.

7. ROAD ACCIDENT FUND (RAF)

1. Salaries and salary scales in the Road Accident Fund (RAF) are determined with reference to salary benchmark surveys using three (3) different salary survey houses. The RAF uses the survey reports to draw a comparison with its current salary scales and where there are gaps, these are adjusted accordingly. Any adjustments made based on the survey outcome are submitted to the RAF Board for consideration and approval. RAF has a Remuneration and Reward Policy according to which salaries are managed.

2. The RAF’s Pay Progression Policy provides for a pay differentiation between high and average performing employees, that is, salaries of high performing individuals will get adjusted in accordance with their level of performance. Other elements that will qualify an employee for salary adjustment are the attainment of a new qualification, and tenure, provided that they have met the set performance score. In addition, there is provision in the RAF’s Talent and Succession Management and Staff Retention Policy for the payment of a retention allowance in respect of scarce and critical skills.

3. It is a condition of service at the RAF that employees must join a medical aid, except in an instance where the staff member is already a member of a medical aid at the time of joining, or belongs to a spouse’s medical aid.

4. The RAF does not have a promotion policy. When a position becomes vacant interested employees may apply and compete with other internal and external candidates for appointment to the position, based on the RAF’s Resourcing Policy. Consequently, it may happen that an official with a higher qualification does not apply, or that an official or external candidate with a lower qualification scores better overall in the resourcing process which score could be based on performance in the interview, techical assessment, psychometric assessment, etc., depending on the level of the position.

8. RAILWAY SAFETY REGULATOR (RSR)

1. The Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) salaries are governed by the RSR Remuneration Policy, as approved in September 2014. All salary scales are benchmarked within the South African Industry by Remuneration Consulting organizations. The RSR’s affordability and pay philosophy determines the salary pitch (25th, 50th or 75th) for the RSR in the market.

2. Officials within the RSR are remunerated differently within their respective salary and job bands depending on the outcome of both job evaluation and recruitment offers made. These recruitment offers are based on the level of qualification and experience of the individual candidate as per the job requirements, as governed by the relevant Labour law legislation and RSR Recruitment and Selection Policy, Job Evaluation Policy and job evaluation outcomes.

3. As per the RSR Conditions of Employment, dated September 2014, a Total Cost To Company remuneration methodology is applied. Section 6 of the said conditions of employment stipulates: “It is a mandatory requirement that all Employees of the Regulator must belong to a medical aid while in the employ of the RSR. Membership to a spouse’s medical aid will be sufficient to fulfill the requirements of this section. Employees who are members of registered medical aid schemes are not obliged to structure for an employer contribution towards the scheme”.

4. The RSR Talent Management Approach, read with the RSR Performance Management policy provides for recognition of high performance and dedication to the RSR Strategic objectives, values and vision. Promotion within the RSR is based on qualification, experience and a sustained level of high performance. Qualification per se does not determine promotion, but rather suitability, contribution and cultural alignment.

9. ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGMENT AGENCY (RTIA)

1. The salaries and salary scales of the Agency are determined by the Department of Public Service and Administration ( DPSA).

2. Officials on the same level are not remunerated the same, due to the fact that some are on higher salary ranges within a level.

3. Every employee has medical aid as part of their remuneration package, however some officials choose not to utilise the benefit due to the fact that they are on their spouses medical aid and some just choose not to utilise the benefit.

4. No officials with lower qualifications got promoted above those with higher qualifications.

10. ROAD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CORPORATION (RTMC)

1. The Salaries of the Road Traffic Management Corporation are reviewed annually as per the outcome of the bargaining chamber negotiation and are based on the Patterson Remuneration Model.

2. Salaries are negotiable with newly appointed employees taking into consideration RTMC salary bands, the respective employee’s package from the previous employer, experience and market comparative analysis.

3. All RTMC employees are on a Total Cost to Company (CTC) salary package and they are allowed to join any medical aid of their choice.

4. There is no promotional policy within the Corporation, all posts are advertised and the successfull candidate determined through the recruitment process is appointed.

11. SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL ROADS AGENCY LIMITED (SANRAL)

1. SANRAL salaries are managed within the framework of the SANRAL Remuneration Policy which is approved annually at the Annual General Meeting with the Minister of Transport. The salary scales have been designed specifically for the organization and the grading system is aligned with the Paterson Modern system. The salary scales are periodically benchmarked against the DPE guidelines and the market.

On an annual basis salaries are reviewed and adjustments made using the individuals’ performance in comparison with his/her peers in the same grade. The formula below is used and taking into account each individual’s merit rating and the grades’ average merit rating.

The formula is as follows:

M = Average merit rating for the grade

A =Percentage change or adjustment of the pay scale of the grade: average adjustment

R = Merit rating for the individual

C = Current Cost to Company for the individual

P = New Cost to Company for the individual after the adjustment

P = (1 + (A+ ((R - M) / M x A))) x C

2. The SANRAL salary scales are broad banded and as such there is an overlap between the maximum of the grade and the minimum of the next grade. It is therefore possible for a lower level employee to earn more than one at the bottom end of a higher grade. This allows for flexibility based on individual employee expertise and experience. This flexibility is also needed to attract and retain scarce technical skills and pay a premium for engineers from designated EE groups. Due to the shortage of technical, particularly engineering skills in South Africa and globally, attention needs to be paid to appropriately remunerating employees who possess these critical skills as one way of retaining key staff in critical grades.

3. SANRAL has a medical aid scheme as part of the benefits package and employees are only allowed to opt out of the scheme on condition that proof is provided confirming that they are on a private medical aid.

4. Promotions at SANRAL, as is practice in Government, only happen through a formal recruitment process that is governed by prescribed minimum qualification requirements in accordance with the recruitment policy. Where cases of irregularity are reported, investigations are conducted and where warranted corrective action is taken.

 

13. SOUTH AFRICA CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY (SACAA)

1. The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) salaries are determined in line with the approved salary scales which are linked to job grades. The scales are benchmarked with the market using remuneration service providers.

2. The scales are broad banded and remuneration may differ based on experience, qualifications etc. however within the appropriate job pay scale.

3. Medical aid is compulsory unless employees can provide proof that they are in their spouse’s medical aid. Currently all employees are covered.

4. The SACAA has no ad hoc promotions. All promotions happen after a proper recruitment process which considers minimum requirements of the job.

(a) So far there is no mine that achieved a hundred percent compliance with its water use license conditions. The non compliance varies and is assessed according to the impact posed to the water resources and the environment in relation to specific conditions. Non-compliance depending on the impact or threat posed may either be addressed through an action plan, administrative, civil or criminal enforcement. Out of 111 mines that were monitored in the 2016/2017 financial year, 55 mines were found to be significantly not complying with the conditions of the water use license of which 25 mines were referred for enforcement actions (refer to Annexure A). The other 30 mines were requested to provide action plans to address non-compliance.

(b) For the 2017/18, (April to June) 22 mines were monitored with 15 mines significantly not complying of which 8 required enforcement actions.

The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) is responsible for the funding of teacher education, the development of policies that regulate the offering of teacher education programmes by Higher Education Institutions, to monitor and support the implementation of policies and to support capacity development at universities. Twenty-three (23) universities in the country are involved in teacher education.

The DBE, through the Funza Lushaka bursary programme, has made a considerable contribution by improving the attractiveness of teaching as a choice for many South African youth. The merit-based criteria for awarding the bursary have contributed to a higher calibre of students entering Initial Teacher Education programmes. The Funza Lushaka bursary programme is targeting to award a total of 65,500 bursaries for initial teacher education over the next five (5) years. It is estimated that 31,750 Funza Lushaka bursaries will be awarded for the training of primary school teachers and 33 750 Funza Lushaka bursaries for the training of high school teachers.

RESPONSE (2)

According to the Constitution of the RSA, section 200(2), the primary object of the defence force is to defend and protect the Republic, its territorial integrity and its people in accordance with the Constitution and the principles of international law regulating the use of force.

Armscor has benefited compliance with section 200(2), as the Russian Federation formally confirmed that it is more efficient to upgrade the existing Center in SA on the basis of Denel Aeronautics to the level of Maintenance, Repairs and Overall (MRO) and modernization of military Mi-24/35 helicopters. This will result in the transfer of skills and job creation.

1. No, the Department of Basic Education is still waiting for the requested information from the Provincial Education Departments. The Office of the Director –General intervened via letters to Heads of Provincial Departments to provide the information as a matter of urgency.

Reply:

The Department of Basic Education received responses from the Provincial Education Department denying the allegations. Most of the protests in which learners are prevented from going to school are service delivery protests.

 

Reply:

a)  Ten (10) schools did not receive meals.

b) 4 348 Learners were affected

c) The contracted service provider failed to deliver the food items to the schools citing the problem with their supplier.

d) The National Department immediately consulted with the Provincial Department and conducted oversight visits to address non-feeding. The Provincial Department terminated the services of the supplier after consultation and appointed a new service provider in May 2017. Currently all 10 schools are feeding and the Department is monitoring the schools.

The Term of office of the board of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) came to an end on the 31 July 2017.

Section 49 (2)(b) of the Public Finance Management Act No.1 of 1999 (PFMA) provides that

If the public entity-

(b) does not have a controlling body, the chief executive officer or the other person in charge of the public entity is the accounting authority for that public entity unless specific legislation applicable to that public entity designates another person as the accounting authority.

The legal succession to South African Transport Service Act no 9 of 1989, is silent on this matter. In terms of the above-mentioned section (49 (2)(b) of the PFMA) the Acting Group Chief Executive Officer assumes the role of the Accounting Authority and will therefore sign off the Financial Statements as duly authorized by the PFMA.
