The decrease in domestic trips in 2016 was largely driven by the shift in holidays, negatively impacting on the number of trips taken with a purpose of visiting family and friends. Although fewer trips were taken in 2016 compared to 2015, domestic tourism survey indicates that tourists stayed longer relative to 2015. The average length of stay per trip increased by 1.6%, leading to an increase in the total number of bed night by 0.9%. The reasons for this increase despite the decline in the total number of trips was due to the fact that during 2016, more public holidays were close to weekend resulting in domestic tourists opting to combine the holidays with those weekends for their trips, hence the longer duration of stay for those who undertook the trips.

a) What are the reasons for the compound annual growth rate decline of 37% of tourist arrivals from the Russian Federation to South Africa between 2014 and 2016?

The new South African Visa Regulations that were introduced in 2015 requiring in-person visa application for Russians and the lack of visa processing centres impacted the tourist arrivals from Russia into South Africa.

Russia’s GDP also declined between 2013 and 2016 as the country went into recession, impacting all outbound travel from Russia.

b) To what extent is this below average growth in arrivals due to changes in advertising spend in the Russian Federation.

As an investment market, SA Tourism’s marketing spend in Russia has been minimal. SA Tourism leveraged on tactical opportunities with DIRCO and with South African trade.

c) What are the further relevant details in this regard

A media and trade engagement was conducted in 2016 in partnership with the South African Embassy in Russia. In the same year, SA Tourism also attended a roadshow to Moscow and St Petersburg organised by a South African tour operator, Follow Me to Africa. The purpose of the roadshow was to introduce South African Trade to Russian trade for purposes of doing business. Russian trade were also hosted in South Africa in 2015 and 2016 during Indaba to build relationships with South African trade.

Recent changes in the visa regime between Russia and South Africa mean that Russian passport holders no longer require a visa to enter South Africa, removing a key barrier to travel into South Africa.

Information from the Mpumalanga Department of Education is that the school for the hearing impaired has not been constructed by the department as yet. When the project was identified, the Department commenced with the search for a site for the school for the deaf and the criteria for the site selection was proximity to a hearing institute and a provincial hospital for the purpose of the routine assessments of the learners. Four (4) sites were identified and all were found to be unsuitable due to reasons including inadequate size, distance from an ear institute and provincial hospital and unsuitable terrain. Further, assistance was solicited from Mbombela Local Municipality and Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency (MEGA) without success. However, it in the absence of the site, the Department proceeded with benchmarking the curriculum delivery and infrastructure delivery models with other provinces, namely KZN, Gauteng and Western Cape. In addition, the Department proceeded and completed the generic designs for the proposed school and is only waiting for adaptation to a site, once available. A suitable site has subsequently been identified in Kaapsche Hoop, 25km outside Nelspruit. Negotiations have ensued in an effort to secure the land as the stakeholders and the MPDoE is satisfied with the suitability of the site. A budget has been allocated in the 2017/18 financial year Infrastructure Plan for environmental assessment, geotechnical investigations, topographical survey and the subsequent adaptation of the generic designs onto the site layout plan. Construction of the school is projected to commence 2018/19 financial year.

a) The total number of Bed and Breakfast (B&B) establishments in the country is currently unknown and so is the demographic information about them. However, through the grading system, 884 B&B establishments were graded as of 31 May 2017. Furthermore, updates of the National Tourism Database, which currently relies on voluntary updates by establishments, indicates that an additional 29 B&B establishments which were not graded also updated their information.

The department recognises the need for a comprehensive database that is not solely dependent on the updates from establishments in order to support planning, growth and development of the tourism sector. In this regard, the Department, working with Provinces; Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs; Municipalities; Industry and other related agencies is embarking on a process to build a comprehensive tourism database for the country through a “census” of establishments during the current financial year.

b) (i),(ii) & (iii) There is no forecast on the increase of Bed & Breakfast establishments in the country. The department’s initiatives in the form of enterprise development support as well as capital and other incentives are aimed at growing existing and start-ups businesses with the aim to increase participation of black enterprises in the tourism sector. However, as government, our responsibility is to create a conducive environment and appropriate support mechanisms to enable entrepreneurs to succeed.

c) What amounts has her department allocated in the 2017-18 to 2019-20 medium term expenditure framework to accelerate transformation in this segment of the industry?

Small enterprise development and sector transformation are central to most of the department’s programmes. The following budget allocations have been made to specific programmes that focus on enterprise development, market access support, capital investment (i.e. Tourism Transformation Fund) and energy efficiency retrofitting (i.e. Green Tourism Incentive Programme) over the 2017-18 to 2019-20 medium term expenditure framework. These programmes would contribute to sector transformation.

Programme	Estimated budget allocation (‘000) over medium term expenditure framework (MTEF) period
	2017/2018	2018/2019	2019/2020
Enterprise Development	17 882	16 420	14 361
Market Access Support (international)	13  000*	15 318*	13  125*
Market Access Support (Hidden Gems)	13  000*	15 318*	13  125*
Tourism Transformation Fund (TFF) - in collaboration with NEF.	40  000**	40 000**	40 000**
Green Tourism Incentive Programme (GTIP) - in collaboration with IDC)	30 000**	45 000**	67 500**

* Allocation estimate in line with Estimates of National Expenditure

** Provisional allocation in line with memoranda of agreement with the relevant development finance institution –

amounts may increase or decrease dependant on programme uptake and availability of funds

The eligibility and qualifying criteria included in the programme guidelines for the market access support and the energy efficiency retrofitting (i.e. GTIP) programmes gives preference to, and offer increased benefits to small and transformed enterprises. The incubator initiatives under the enterprise development and capital investment (i.e. TTF) support programmes specifically focus on black owned enterprises.

It is further important to note that the TTF that will be administered by the National Empowerment Fund (NEF) is a dedicated support mechanism aimed at unlocking investment by black investors in the tourism sector. The department’s contribution of R120 million over the MTEF period will serve as a grant component. This will be complemented by equal contributions of R120 million in debt finance and R120 million in equity contributions from the NEF over the same period. Through the collaboration with NEF, the total value of the Tourism Transformation Fund will therefore be R360 million over the MTEF period.

The State Security Agency (SSA) is mandated by the National Strategic Act of 1994 (Act No. 39 of 1994), and as amended by the General Intelligence Laws Amendment Act of 2013 (Act No. 11 of 2013), to conduct and coordinate counterintelligence (CI). In fulfilling this legislative mandate the SSA is required to “put in place or institute measures and conduct activities to neutralise the effectiveness of foreign or hostile intelligence operations, to protect intelligence and any classified information, to conduct vetting investigations and to counter any threat or potential threat to national security” (GILAA, Act No. 11 of 2013).

The SSA performs threat and risk assessments (TRAs) as per request from the South African Police – Directorate for Protective Services (DPSS) which includes the VIP services and the Presidential Protection Services (PPS). Threat assessments are also provided in support of the security deployment detail of the NATJOINTS. These assessments are provided to support the SAPS Crime Intelligence Division, and on the whole, the SSA provides the assessments on a routine basis as part of its Counterintelligence mandate.

The table below outlines the number of Threat and Risk Assessments provided to the SAPS Protection Services and/or the Ministry for State Security for visits by VIPs.

a) The Department of Basic Education (DBE), working with the Limpopo Department of Education, has held numerous engagement meetings with key stakeholders to ensure that normality is restored for learners to be back in classes in Vuwani, Vhembe District. The intention of these engagements has primarily been to enlist support to advocate for the upholding and respect of the right to a basic education. The stakeholders that have been involved include the following: teacher unions operating in the areas: National Professional Teachers Organisation South Africa (NAPTOSA), Professional Educators Union (PEU) and South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU); Principals of schools; Chairpersons of School Governing Bodies (SGBs); Department of Social Development; Department of Health; the Education Forum; the Pastors’ Forum; the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT); and the Business Forum. The stakeholders have worked tirelessly to engage communities in assisting the DBE to restore normality. The Education Forum, Pastors’ Forum, school governing body formations, the NECT, traditional leaders and teacher unions took a unanimous decision to support all efforts aimed at restoring education services in Vuwani. The LP DoE has been tracking the attendance of both teachers and learners, and attendance rates have been improving, which suggests that learners and teachers are responding to the call.

During the 2016 disruptions:

• Parolees as well as Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) workers were utilised for the cleaning of the schools, rubble removal and clearing of ground for mobile classes. Parents and SGBs of affected schools formed part of the cleaning team.
• Donations were received from various donors. Donations received included textbooks, stationery, photocopiers, data projectors and laptops, sanitary towels and toiletries, eating utensils, brooms and mops, Science Kits and desks and these are being put to good use. All these collectively came from the following donors: NECT, Game and Massmart, Mvula Trust, Stats SA, Letaba Estate, Leda and KLM.

In reality, the Department of Basic Education does not have the capacity and means to take measures to prevent and control organised and co-ordinated disruptions of learning and teaching processes, considering the reasons for the Vuwani crisis. However, the Department has taken measures to mitigate the impact of the disruptions, including the provision of mobile classrooms, school furniture, textbooks and stationery as well as feeding for learners where necessary.

b) The LDoE has developed a catch-up plan for Vuwani to ensure that learners can return to the normal routine as far as the school calendar is concerned. According to the catch-up plan, recovery teaching and learning will run (in the morning and afternoon from Monday to Thursday; and on Saturdays) until learners write the May/June Examinations. For Grades 1 to 11, the programme includes chunking of the content to ensure that the work is covered over the available period. Pace setters are being used to identify any backlog in curriculum coverage per school, per subject, with the view of implementing an accelerated programme to catch up. E-learning solutions (from Vodacom) are being used particularly for Grade 12. Enrichment camping sessions have also been organised for Grade 12 learners, where targeted content in designated subjects will be offered by District Lead Teachers. Learners will also be exposed to examination guidelines and coached on answering difficult questions in order to ensure adequate preparation.

The implementation of the catch-up plan in schools is being monitored and supported by multidisciplinary teams. The aim is to ensure that the plan is effective and adequate as a mechanism for ensuring that learners and teachers can cover work lost during disruptions. Teacher unions, in particular, have been very supportive in supporting the catch-up plan by encouraging their members to volunteer their services, even after normal working hours.

Counselling services have been made available for affected learners, teachers and parents to make sure effective teaching and learning in schools take place. These counselling support sessions will be available for teachers, learners and affected parents until the May/June examinations. These sessions are provided by the Pastors’ Forum, Department of Health and Department of Social Development.

1. – (3) The report on the maintenance of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college infrastructure is not yet available. The Department has secured donor funding from the European Union to enable a full audit and verification of TVET college infrastructure. Due to challenges experienced with regards to the appointment of a service provider to assist with the audit, it is envisaged that the process will re-commence during the 3rd quarter of 2017.

Note:

Compensation of Employee Costs are salary related costs of all college employees who are appointed to offer Ministerial approved programmes, i.e. National Certificate (Vocational) and NATED programmes. The budget is retained by the Department to pay for the salaries related to these employees.

Subsidy Allocation: This allocation is transferred to the colleges to cover for operational costs. In terms of the National Norms and Standards for Funding TVET Colleges, colleges are required to set aside 10% of their subsidy allocation to cover costs towards maintenance.

It should be noted that since 2009, no earmarked capital infrastructure allocations have been received from National Treasury. Colleges are therefore expected to prioritise for the maintenance of infrastructure from their subsidy allocation, which is insufficient to provide for the effective maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure.

a) The following are the criteria used to determine learner transport demand as per the policy on learner transport:

• Beneficiaries must be needy learners from grade R to 12 as prescribed;

• Learner transport will be to the nearest appropriate school only and not to a school of parental choice (parental choice means parents prefer to enrol their children at schools other than the nearest suitable school);

• Priority must be given to learners with disabilities, taking into considering the nature of the disability;

• Priority must be given to primary schools learners who walk long distances to schools; and

• Existing learner transport services must be taken into account when identifying beneficiaries as no learner transport services will be provided in areas where public transport is available in order to avoid duplication of services and resources.

b) The total demand expected to decrease between the 2016-17 and 2017-18 financial years in the Eastern Cape and Northern Cape due to different factors such as, but not limited to:

  (a) Rationalisation, mergers and closure of schools; and

  (b) Verification process where learners who do not qualify are removed from the service.

   (c) Gauteng is experiencing influx of learners from different provinces, and the resultant establishment of informal settlements were there are no schools, which result in the increase in the demand for learner transport.

    In KZN, the number is increasing as a result of rationalisation of schools.

     In Limpopo, the increase in demand is a result of the relocation of communities from areas where there were schools to Redistribution and Development Programme housing and establishment informal settlement where there are no schools.

DETAILS OF THE PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS THE APPOINTMENT OF A CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR SAA

A head hunter was appointed in December 2016

• The position was advertised in the local newspapers as well as in the industry magazine during December 2016 and January 2017. Furthermore, an active domestic and international head hunting process was embarked upon.
• Eleven candidates were short listed. Of the eleven, six were South African and five were internationals.
• The first set of interviews was held during the month of March, having concluded the CFO appointment process during the month of February.
• Five candidates were shortlisted, two South Africans and three internationals.
• The second set of interviews was supposed to commence towards the end of March and conclude by the middle of April, given that the dead-line of the end of April had been set by the Board.
• The time-line was delayed due to an uncontrollable situation.
• The interviews are now scheduled for the 13th and the 20th of May 2017.

(a) List of applicants, and (b) the curriculum vitae for each applicant

• It would be a breach of confidentiality to disclose and circulate the names and cv’s of the candidates who have applied for the position. Once a shortlist of three candidates has been determined, these will be shared with the Board and submitted to the Shareholder Representative, the National Treasury, for the finalisation of the process.

(c) Anticipated appointment date

• All things being equal, the top three candidates will be presented to the SAA Board in the week of the 22nd of May, where after, this list will be submitted to the Shareholder Representative, the National Treasury, by the end of that week, i.e. by the 26th of May.
• We are not able to determine how long the Shareholder Representative processes will take in bringing this matter to a conclusion.

According to information received from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS):

1. The majority of issues with the disbursement of sBux allowances to university students have been resolved. Of the 46 345 students eligible for sBux allowances, 43 037 (93%) had received their respective allowances by 30 May 2017.

NSFAS successfully addressed the main issues during the months of April and May 2017 with an intensive focus on ensuring that students sign their Loan Agreement Forms (LAFs) in addition to the introduction of weekly system audit checks to improve the processing of disbursements. The LAF signing campaign and the weekly system audit checks will continue until all eligible students have received their allowances, which will include any “top-up” allowances to compensate for months where the student may not have received all his/her allowances on time.

Delays have been experienced with the processing of Schedule of Particulars (SOPs) for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college students. This is mainly due to the fact that many TVET college staff members were unfamiliar with certain aspects of the new registration system and also the lack of adequate training and support provided by the college software vendors. As a result, of the 4 882 students eligible for sBux allowances, only 2 676 (55%) had received their allowances by 30 May 2017.

The majority of disbursements to TVET college students are being processed in June and July 2017. These disbursements are dependent on registration information, which includes the allocation of allowances to students being provided by the colleges, where applicable, and the signing of SOPs by the students.

The LAFSOP signing campaign and the weekly system audit checks will ensure that disbursement of allowances to TVET college students are processed as effectively as possible.

2. Some challenges are being experienced with the overall NSFAS system and these are receiving urgent attention by a project team specifically set up to resolve all system related issues which may be delaying disbursements.

In some instances, vouchers are not disbursed due to the absence of a corresponding entry on a disbursement schedule or the non-creation of a loan account for a particular student. These issues are being dealt with by virtue of an analysis of disbursements on a daily basis, which includes the management of any “exceptions”, followed by prompt resolution of these issues.

The PRSA has a contract with an IT service provider who are responsible for maintaining the information technology infrastructure of the Regulator in line with the approved IT policies and Asset Management policies of the Regulator.

Maintenance of the infrastructure falls within the scope of an IT service contract which is overseen by the Corporate Services Department which in turn is overseen by the Audit committee of the Regulator that regularly (at least on a quarterly basis requires IT maintenance and update reporting).

The Regulator has, in recent years upgraded the computers of Regulator employees and Members, the backup was system has been revised, and regular automated and manual backups are conducted by staff through the service provider. A weekly off-site backup facility is in place to ensure additional safety of information. Furthermore, maintenance contracts for recent assets are in place (printing equipment etc.) and turn-around time in the event of failure is less than 24 hours. Website maintenance is conducted by a specialized service provider and updated on a regular basis and whenever new documents are published by the Regulator.

(a) The Department spent an amount of R49.3 million in the 2016-17 financial year on e- government services.

(b) The approved budget for the 2017/18 financial year is R52.7 million.

Reply:

(a) (i) Annexure A provides for the total income of each university for the past 10 financial years. It should be noted that universities in terms of the accounting standards report on their actual total income generated and not on their budgets.

(b) (i) Annexure A provides for the total deficits (highlighted in grey) that certain universities generated in a particular financial year.

(c) (i) No university received additional funding in a particular year. The Department provides financial assistance to each institution through the funding framework for universities. This is made up of a block grant subsidy and a range of earmarked grants, including National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) funding.

(b) (i)-(iii) The information relating to budgets, deficits and additional state funding to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges for the last 10 financial years is not readily available and will have to be requested from Provinces as the TVET function only came under the competency of the Department on 1 April 2015. This information will be requested and provided in due course.

In summary, the TVET system is vastly underfunded as indicated in the table below.

Categories	2017/18 R’000	2018/19 R’000	2019/20 R’000
Total Estimated Programme Funding: Budget Required	23 803 000	28 584 000	30 184 704
Programme Funding Baseline Available	9 567 000	10 087 000	10 651 872
Total Estimated Shortfall	(14 236 000)	(18 497 000)	(19 532 832)

Currently, TVET colleges are funded at 57% of the required 80% due to over enrolment.

Honourable Member, the Vulindlela Housing Project is a rural Enhanced People’s Housing Process project, implemented on Ingonyama land in the Umgungundlovu District Municipality within the uMsunduzi Municipality. It is an embodiment of the principles of community involvement and institutionalisation of the participatory approach in delivering integrated sustainable human settlements.

The Vulindlela community established the Vulindlela Development Association (VDA), a Section 21 Company made up of the leadership of the five tribal authorities of the Vulindlela area. The VDA started the Vulindlela project after it secured approval from the MEC for Human Settlements in KwaZulu Natal. The project is meant to deliver 25 000 PHP units in nine (9) Wards over five (5) years, which was later extended to eight years. This is the first PHP project to be delivered at such a large scale. To date, 15928 units have been completed.

Over and above the implementation of the project through the people’s Housing Process (PHP) programme, I wish to summarise other project benefits as follows:

1. The Cooperative model implemented within the project had transformed the lives of the people in and around Vulindlela. The ownership of the business interests within this project rests with the beneficiaries who are part of the various Cooperatives set up;
2. Jobs have been created and the community upskilled on numerous construction and related skills. Local contractors are utilized and promoted business partnerships to ensure long term growth and sustainability;
3. Poverty eradicated because of employment opportunities created;
4. The project has harnessed social cohesion amongst different political groups from various tribal divides;
5. The community has been empowered to partner with government and take charge of their own development;
6. The institutional arrangements within the project allowed for a top-down and bottom-up approach, no decisions were imposed on beneficiaries and
7. Capacity building initiatives were delivered at scale e.g. Experiential learning was offered to technical students, accredited construction management course was offered and beneficiaries interested to participate in the project were trained on the different construction skills including block/brick laying, masonry, carpentry, painting, plastering works etc.

(a) & (b) As alluded to above, the Vulindlela People’s Housing Process housing project does not use contractors.

(i)The project is implemented through the People’s Housing Process Programme utilising the Cooperative model.

(ii) There are fifteen (15) Cooperatives established and working in the nine (9) wards within the Vulindlela Project. There are nine (9) Construction Cooperatives established, one (1) in each Ward, divided into slab, wall plate and completion, three (3) Block Yard Cooperatives where door and window frames, three (3) Transport Cooperatives.

Reply:

(a) No.

(b) All eight entities reporting to me confirmed that they had not awarded any contracts or agreements to any staff members to conduct business with any state entity in the (i) 2014-15, (ii) 2015-16 and (iii) 2016-17 financial years.

Reply:

The Deputy Minster and I, including our families, do not use any security services paid for by the State. Needless to say, both of us use the VIP Protection Services provided by the Department of Police.

The entities reporting to me confirmed that none of them use and pay for security services from State funds.

Honourable Member, we are grappling with the issue of the paying supplier invoices within 30 days, it is a standard item on the agenda of MinMEC. The challenges remain and they are multi-faceted. The reasons provided by provinces for the late payment vary from late submission of invoices to verification of information pertaining to those invoices. Sometimes the required details for new suppliers are not always available in the financial system to facilitate payments due to inadequate completion of registration forms by suppliers.

With respect to the provision of names of suppliers or companies, the Honourable Members is referred to the established practise applicable to parliamentary questions and guidelines contained in the document titled, “Guide to Parliamentary Questions in the National Assembly”. The document referred to prohibits Members of Parliament, including the Executive, from divulging names of persons, bodies when asking or responding to parliamentary questions. Accordingly, I will not provide names of the companies and/or suppliers whose invoices were not paid within the 30 days. The document referred to states the following:

“Questions are to be framed as concisely as possible. All unnecessary adjectives, references and quotations are omitted. Names of persons, bodies and, for example, newspapers are only used in questions if the facts surrounding the case have been proven. As the mere mention of such names could be construed as publicity for or against them, it should be clear that this practice is highly undesirable. If a question will be unintelligible without mentioning such names, the Departments concerned are notified of the name (-s) and this phrase is used: ".......a certain person (name furnished)”

The information received from provinces is provided below:

Eastern Cape Province

(a) 184 invoices remain unpaid by Eastern Cape Province.

(b) (ii) The amounts outstanding are included in the table below.

(b)(i) SUPPLIER	(ii) AMOUNTS OUTSTANDING
	R’000
TOTAL	176 564 089

(iii) The Eastern Cape Province reported the reason for the non-payment as being the shrinkage of the equitable share over commitments and top slicing at the beginning of the financial year as well as the first tranche of the grant which was not enough to pay all the contractors.

(iv) The Eastern Cape Province is attending to its cash flow problems and it is hoped that this matter will be resolved soon.

Free State

1. 227 invoices remain unpaid by the Free State Province
2. (ii) The amounts outstanding are included in the table below:

(b)(i) SUPPLIER	(ii) AMOUNTS OUTSTANDING
	R’000
TOTAL	122 196 958

 

(b)(iii) The Free State Province reported the reason for non-payment as due to insufficient funds being available for fund commitments.

(b)(iv)The Free State Department of Human Settlements has commenced honouring these claims in the 2017/2018 financial year as funding is disbursed from the National Department of Human Settlements. As at 24 May 2017 an amount of R46 million was still outstanding for payment which will be settled soon.

(b)(iii) The Gauteng Department advised that it could not make payments linked to the Human Settlements Development Conditional Grants (HSDG) as from 1st April 2017 until Mid-May 2017, mainly because the first payment tranche for the 2017/18 financial year was transferred in late May from National department of Human Settlements. The reason for the late transfer of the first tranche is that the business plan was not able to be approved by the National Department, due to non-compliance and the Division of Revenue Act, which prohibits the transfer of funds before approval of the business plan.

(b)(iv) The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements plans to pay the outstanding invoices within the month of June.
