America, Mr D to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
What was the value of (a) the total budget of, (b) any deficits incurred and (c) any special additional state funding received by each public (i) university and (ii) technical and vocational education and training college in each of the past 10 financial years?
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.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
(1)Whether the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) issues regarding the payment of allowances through the sBux system in (a) universities and/or (b) technical and vocational education and training colleges have been resolved; if not, why not; if so, (i) how were they resolved and (ii) on what date(s) were they resolved; (2) whether there are any other problems with the overall NSFAS system that still need to be addressed; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
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.

Malatsi, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
What (a) are the names of companies or contractors who have been (i) blacklisted, (ii) suspended and/or (iii) penalised for poor workmanship, failure to deliver projects on time and any other reason, in each provincial department of human settlements in each of the past three financial years and (b) was the (i) size and (ii) type of penalty in each case?
Reply:
Honourable Member, in accordance with the established practise applicable to parliamentary questions and guidelines contained in the document titled, “Guide to Parliamentary Questions in the National Assembly”, I will not provide names of the companies or contractors who have been blacklisted, suspended and/or penalised for poor workmanship, failure to deliver projects on time. The document referred to prohibits Members of Parliament, including the Executive, from divulging names of persons, bodies when asking or responding to parliamentary questions. It specifically 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 provided by the provinces in response to the Honourable Members question is provided in the table below:

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.

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.

Reply:
Learner transport is funded from the provincial equitable share. Since this budget is not earmarked, it is not ring-fenced.
29 June 2017 - NW1925
Macpherson, Mr DW to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
What (a) were the reasons for lowering the threshold for registrations with the Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment Council from R100 million to R25 million and (b) mechanisms have been put in place to deal with retrospective applications from 1 October 2014?
Reply:
Response (a)
Following consultations with institutions such as the Competition Commission, the BEE Commission, a threshold of R100m was determined based on Combined Annual Turnover and/or Combined Asset Value on 08 November 2016. The Minister subsequently issued Government Gazette No. 40410, Notice 748 of 2016, thresholds for Major B-BBEE Transactions for a 30-day public commentary period. Amongst others, the rationale for the R100m was that it will ensure all transactions by mainly large entities (those with annual revenue greater than R50m) in terms of the Codes are covered. However, with the exception of small and medium entities which if their combined annual turnover is below R100m, would be excluded and consequently for monitoring and reporting purposes would go un-tracked. Furthermore, the Notice highlighted the Documentary Requirements for Registering a Major B-BBEE Transaction.
In addition, the majority of the comments received during the public commentary period focused on the use of the combined Turnover and/or Asset Value not being an appropriate measure to determine a threshold. The argument is that if the combined Turnover and/or Asset Value are used, any transaction, regardless of the actual size of the transaction, when the proposed threshold based on the parties’ assets or turnover is exceeded, will have to be registered. This would have effectively meant that all changes in the shareholding traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange for listed companies, will have to be measured to identify the compliance impact on the Ownership element (Code 100). Should such transaction have an impact as mentioned above, it should be reported to the BEE Commission. This process would have an unintended consequence to assess the Ownership scorecard impact for each trade and to be then reported. Following this, the dti refined the principle by basing the measurement on the “Transaction Value” as this is more appropriate considering the context of what needs to be registered. The Threshold is R25 million based on Transaction Value which will be registered by parties to the Transaction as a collective. As mentioned above, the threshold was thus lowered to R25million in order to proactively alleviate any potential fronting practices even at small and medium sized enterprise level.
The registration of the mentioned deals is not with the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Council but rather a Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Commission. The role of the B-BBEE Presidential Advisory Council is to advise the President and government on the design and implementation of the B-BBEE policy, amongst others.
Furthermore, the rationale for maintenance of a registry for major B-BBEE transactions is a matter of transformation imperative which is ideal for qualitative and quantitative valuable records keeping; data of these transactions might also be used to measure the extent of transformation in South Africa especially with regard to the Ownership and Control elements.
The threshold will enable the B-BBEE Commission to have a broad overview of all the transactions that are taking place in the country and to deal with potential fronting practices.
Response (b)
The B-BBEE Commission has been established in 2015 under the ambit of the dti to oversee the implementation of B-BBEE Legislation within South Africa.
The B-BBEE Regulations published on 06 June 2016, outlines the procedures of engaging with the B-BBEE Commission as well as indicates the process to follow when registering a Major Transaction with the B-BBEE Commission.
The B-BBEE Commission has already issued an Explanatory Notice 01 of 2017 indicating the documentation requirements in order to register a Major B-BBEE Transaction.
The B-BBEE Commission has competent staff members and the capacity to manage the process of registering all Major B-BBEE Transactions including those that will be registered retrospectively. The retrospective transactions are for registering only and not necessarily for assessment. However, the B-BBEE Commission has the discretion to assess any Major B-BBEE Transaction to ensure that it is aligned to B-BBEE Legislation. These include voluntarily registrations of any Major B-BBEE transaction consistent with the threshold, concluded before 24th October 2014 with the B-BBEE Commission.

Ollis, Mr IM to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(1)With regard to her department’s presentation to the Portfolio Committees of Basic Education and Transport entitled Scholar Transport Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education on 23 May 2017, why is scholar transport provision managed by the provincial departments of transport in the Eastern Cape, Free State, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape and North West, while it is managed by the provincial departments of education in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and the Western Cape; (2) have any of the provinces switched their choice of implementing department since the start of the 2010 academic year; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The location of functions in a province is the prerogative of the Premier of the province and the Executive Council of the respective provinces. It is on this basis that decisions were taken that the function be located with the Department of Transport in Eastern Cape, Free State, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape and North West provinces whilst it is located with the Department of Education in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and the Western Cape.
2. Yes, in five (5) provinces: Eastern Cape, Free State, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal, the function was transferred from the Provincial Education Department to the Provincial Department of Transport. The Eastern Cape transferred the function to the Department of Transport in 2011. The Northern Cape transferred the function in 2012, KwaZulu-Natal in 2012, and Free State in 2014. In KwaZulu-Natal, the function was transferred back to the Department of Education with effect from 01 April 2017.

(1)Will she make available to Mr C D Matsepe the (a) policy paper on sector prioritisation referred to in slide 39 and (b) Partner Management Framework to forge partnerships with the private sector, referred to in slide 29 of her department’s presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Small Business Development on 23 November 2015; if not, in each case, why not; if so, by what date in each case; (2) (a) what are the names of the partners commissioned to conduct research on defining the ecosystem for small businesses and cooperatives, as referred to on slide 14 of the specified presentation and (b) by what date will her department and the specified partners report on the findings of the specified research; (3) what progress is her department making with regard to the adoption of recognised impact measurement techniques and tools for measuring the impact of its programmes and projects referred to in slide 27 of the specified presentation?”
Reply:
(1)(a) The Minister is pleased to share ther Sector Prioritisation paper (Annexure A); and
(1)(b) The Draft Development Partnership Guidelines (Annexure B).
(2)(a) The Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) has commissioned (Greater Capital) a service provider to conduct research on the eco-system. The research is conducted in close collaboration with the following organisations: South African Breweries (SAB) Foundation, Sustainable Entrepreneurship Accelerator (SEA) Africa, Allan Gray and Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute (GEDI).
(2)(b) The final report with findings and recommendations will be presented to DSBD Executive Committee within the second quarter of the current financial year.
(3) Programme Impact Evaluation
This type of evaluation (impact evaluation) measures the non-observable aspects that result from the programme. For example, while the number of enterprises supported by a programme is 200 (as established through monitoring), the number of sustainable ones among these – an intangible and multi-composite attribute – may only be evident through measurements of effectiveness.
A programme’s effectiveness can only be measured through a repeatable study that applies multiple data methods. In this instance, enterprise sustainability may be the effect sought by the programme. “Sustainability” may be one of the components defined for “economic growth”. Outcomes are relevant to cumulative effects that together with other reinforcing aspects have profound socio-economic implications (say, creating a small business-conducive environment, an entrepreneurship culture, etc).
Given this background, the portfolio of Department’s programmes are being evaluated internally on the basis of planning, design and implementation, guided by the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework guidelines developed for the department at this stage. This is motivated by the fact that most of the programmes that are being run by the department are inherited from the Department of Trade and Industry and therefore to assess their relevance to the mandate, Mission and Vision of the department, this process is necessary. The guiding principles are derived from the Acts that govern both SMMEs and Co-operatives nationally coupled with the guideline documents which were developed on inception to guide implementation.
To measure policy impact coupled with outputs and outcomes up to date, with intention to measure effectiveness, efficiency and value for money, the Department undertook to partner with Department of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation-DPME and undertook to embark on an evaluation process of the Integrated Strategy on the Promotion and Support of Small Businesses (2005).
This process is to identify what needs to be done to institute more responsive interventions that will be more responsive given current challenges; highlight an overall impact on the programmes’ responsiveness to the needs of SMMEs to date. The outcome of this exercise will inform an evidence based review and programme improvement plan that will position the interventions as more responsive to needs of beneficiaries and point at more effective methodologies that are better fitting to the developmental mandate.

Dudley, Ms C to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
(1)Whether her department has been requested to assist 29-year old South African Emlyn Culverwell and his fiancée Iryna Nohai who were arrested in an Abu Dhabi hospital; if so, (a) what is the extent of the assistance that her department can provide in a situation like this and (b) can her department intervene in terms of ensuring that the person’s family members or employers are able to make contact with him; (2) what is her department’s policy with regard to (a) requesting the return of a South African citizen in circumstances where a particular country’s law that has been transgressed is not law in South Africa and (b) the punishment meted out for certain offences (details furnished) under the Sharia-based legal system; (3) will her department assist the couple to appoint legal representation; if so, (a) what has been done or will be done in this regard and (b) what are the further relevant details?
Reply:
1. Yes, the Department was requested to provide consular assistance to Mr Culverwell. His fiancée is not a South African citizen but a citizen of the Ukraine.
(a) In such a situation the relevant South African Diplomatic mission will endeavour to establish and maintain contact with the detainee and also undertake a consular visit at the soonest opportunity and at certain intervals thereafter. Family and friends will be kept updated on the wellbeing of the detainee as per consent of the detainee. The payment of financial assistance for the detainee to buy basic necessities in prison, as deposited by the family, will be facilitated as well as the delivery of letters written by family and friends.
(b) A diplomatic mission abroad can only request that a detainee is allowed the contact with family or an employer as provided for by the local regulations in the receiving State. Detainees in the UAE are permitted to make telephone calls to family members and an employer provided they have sufficient funds. Receiving calls are not permitted.
Visits by family members to detainees are allowed in accordance with local regulations. Mr Culverwell did not raise any complaints to the embassy as to not being allowed to call or to receive visitors.
2. (a) When entering a foreign country a South African national subjects him-/herself to all the laws and regulations of that sovereign country whether or not such laws are similar to South African law or not. The South African Government respects the sovereignity of other countries and will not request the return of a South African national based on the mere fact that the particular offence committed is not regarded as an offence in South Africa.
(b) The punishment meted out for offences in a foreign country is determined by the law and the Courts in that particular country and the South African Government cannot intervene in the Court proceedings and judicial processes in a foreign country.
3. (a) and (b). When a South African is arrested abroad the SA Embassy can provide a list of law firms in the country but the choice and appointment of a particular lawyer rests with the person arrested. The SA Government does not provide funds to cover the legal costs of South Africans arrested abroad. In the case of Mr Culverwell in the UAE, his employer appointed legal representation. Mr Culverwell and his fiancée have since been released from detention, but the case has not finalised yet. Their release is equivalent to a free bail in South African terms. The couple is currently at their place of employment and residing at staff accommodation.

Basson, Mr LJ to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
(1)With reference to her reply to question 2934 on 31 August 2015, (a) why was the Groblersdal Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Greater Sekhukhune District Municipality not completed in December 2015, (b) what steps will her department take to assist with the completion of the plant and (c) what steps did her department take to prevent the current pollution of more than 4ml of sewer flowing into the Olifants River (2) does her department (a) monitor the quality of the water in the Olifants River and (b) provide results, if not, why not in each case?
Reply:
(1)(a)The refurbishment of Groblersdal Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) within Sekhukhune District Municipality (DM) was completed in December 2015, however; the practical commissioning of the refurbished work was done during June 2016 and the waste water treatment plan is functional. The waste water treatment occasionally experience breakdown of aerobic mixer due to the plant being overloaded and the contractor who was refurbishing the plant attended to the breakdown as part of retention period.
(1)(b) My Department did not take steps in assisting with completion since both the Sekhukhune DM and Lepelle Northern Water Board did complete the refurbishment work, and is operational. The practical commission was however done in June 2016.
(1)(c) My Department Regional Office: Limpopo visited Groblersdal Waste Water Treatment Works on 10 May 2017 and the following findings were made:
- Lepelle Northern Water is responsible for the operation of the WWTW. Both the old and the new plant are operated simultaneously. The works was operational however signs of overflow were observed. According to the official present, this was due to the influx of effluent from the pump station which only started operating on 08 May 2017.
- A site inspection was also conducted at the pump station which pumps sewerage into the Groblersdal WWTW, which is located in the outskirts of the industrial area. The pump station is managed by Sekhukhune DM and it was not operational for the last 6 months. During the time when it was non-operational, sewage from town was pumped to the pump station via a channel, however the effluent did not reach the WWTW. This led to the effluent being diverted into an unlined emergency pond at the back of the pump station, which may possibly lead to surface and groundwater pollution. Discussions between Lepelle Northern Water and Sekhukhune DM took place, however the problem persisted. According to the official from Lepelle Northern Water the pump station started operating on Monday, 08 May 2017. A Section 19 Notice under the National Water Act, Act 36 of 1998 will be issued to the Sekhukhune DM, as the responsible authority for operation and maintenance of the pump station.
(2) Yes, my Department monitors the quality of the water in the Olifants River. Refer to the Table 1 below which is the summary of the effluent quality discharged by Groblersdal Wastewater Treatment works, downstream and upstream of the Works:

Mokgalapa, Mr S to ask the MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION
(1) With reference to the statement of the President of the Republic, Mr Jacob G Zuma, made during the State of the Nation Address on 9 February 2017, that South Africa will continue mediation efforts, peacekeeping operations and peace-making initiatives in the Democratic Republic of Congo, what is the current status of South Africa’s formal involvement in the specified country? (NW327E)
Reply:
- South Africa continues to support MONUSCO (United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo) through a deployment of uniformed and other personnel in a multi-dimensional peacekeeping which involves the military, police and the civilian components. MONUSCO’s strategic priorities are to protect civilians, stemming out of violence against women and children perpetuated by armed groups. The current mandate of MONUSCO will expire on 31 March 2017. The UN will provide guidance in terms of the extension of the mandate based on a situational analysis on the ground, particularly in the Eastern DRC and the political developments as the country prepares for the elections by end of 2017.
