Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation
(1) (a) What are the details of the shortage of sporting facilities in each province, (b) what is the total number of sporting facilities that are available in each province and (c)of the specified facilities, how many are accessible to differently-abled persons; (2) (a) which provinces have been earmarked by his department for upgrading of sporting facilities and (b) what are the time frames for each province?
Reply:
(1) (a) In the current financial year the Department of Sport and Recreation SA (SRSA) will conduct a facility audit intended not only to quantify number of facilities available, their type and level of service they offer, but also to assess needs and shortfalls using various methods including municipal IDPs and the SRSA Facility Classification Framework, which provides guidelines in terms of type and category of facility, level of service it must offer and minimum distance/radius for accessibility. This, in line with the department’s annual performance plan, will ensure the prioritisation of building and maintenance of facilities in order to contribute to the objectives of National Sport and Recreation Plan and the National Development Plan.
(b) The Department has conducted and concluded a facility count and verification process in 2016. The process included count of all facilities irrespective of their ownership and this was done through our facility count project team in all nine (9) provinces in collaboration with municipalities. The national total sum of facilities as counted is 5022, and provincial breakdown is as follows:
PROVINCE |
FACILITIES |
Eastern Cape |
214 |
Free State |
259 |
Gauteng |
989 |
KwaZulu-Natal |
1341 |
Limpopo |
947 |
Mpumalanga |
791 |
Northern Cape |
102 |
North West |
134 |
Western Cape |
245 |
NATIONAL |
5022 |
(c) Our 2016 facility count took this matter into consideration and make a shocking revelation that of all facilities counted, irrespective of their conditions, only 20% are accessible to people with disabilities, and this is another matter that justifies a need to strengthen the role of SRSA in planning and monitoring implementation of sports and recreation infrastructure projects in order to enforce Norms and Standards, and Sports and Recreation Amendment Act both of which emphasize a need to ensure that sports facilities are user friendly to people with disability.
(2) (a) Since 2016/17 the department has been involved with identification of sports infrastructure projects in all provinces in order to guide allocation of the R300 million for MIG. The NDP dictates that all settlement in the country must have access to sport and recreation facilities, and it is in that spirit that while resources are limited and prioritisation is inevitable, allocations will be made in all provinces.
(b) Since sports infrastructure projects are implement in a context of MIG, therefore, with exception of multi-year projects, completion dates of projects will coincide with the end municipal financial year, and this effectively informs time frames.

Kopane, Ms SP to ask the Minister of Public Works
(1) Whether any money is owed to his department by other government (a) departments and (b) entities; if so, (i) what amount is owed to his department by other national departments and public entities, (ii) what amount is still outstanding and (iii) what are the reasons for not paying as required; (2) what appropriate action was taken by his department to recoup the monies owed to it?
Reply:
The Department of Public works manages accommodation requirements of national departments through the Property Management Trading Entity (PMTE). Included in this mandate is the provision of accommodation through state owned and leased properties, construction of new accommodation, major refurbishment of existing properties and management of municipal services.
State-owned accommodation charges are billed quarterly in advance in line with the devolution framework principles developed at the time of establishment of the PMTE. The process that is followed to recover monies relating to private leases, municipal services, Client Infrastructure spending (Capital allocation) and other recoverable infrastructure projects (referred to as PACE and CA) is as follows:
- PMTE pays lessors, contractors and municipalities on behalf of user departments;
- At the end of the month, the recoverable costs are consolidated per client;
- Invoices are then issued to clients in arrears;
- User departments have 30 days to settle debts in terms of the PFMA;
- However, in practice this gives rise to 60 days delay in matching the expense with the revenue.
As at the end of March 2017, R2, 854 billion was outstanding from national departments (Annexure: A) and R195 billion from other organs of state (Annexure: B).
In line with established inter-governmental cooperation principles, the PMTE has regular interactions with user departments for the recovery of outstanding debts and is assisted by the National Treasury where additional funding is required.

Breytenbach, Adv G to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether his department is in the process of revising (a) the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act, Act 70 of 2002 and (b) any other interception legislation; if not, what is the position in each case; if so, what progress has been made in each case; 2) whether each process is inclusive of a revision of section 205 of the Criminal Procedure Act, Act 51 of 1977, as amended; if not, in each case, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
1. (a) Yes.
(b) The Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of
Communication–related Information Act (RICA), 2002 (Act No. 70 of 2002) has been earmarked for revision and appropriate amendments. This is as a result of a number of requests for amendments that have been received from various quarters and also as a result of concerns regarding the implementation of the RICA which have been brought to the attention of the Department. These requests relate, among others, to the following:
- the need to enhance governance, transparency and accountability mechanisms in order to oversee the interception of communications;
- the need to give further consideration to the compulsory registration of SIM-cards and the regulation thereof; and
- the broadening of RICA to cater for the combatting of cybercrime, making provision for other forms of electronic surveillance and regulating the use of remote access tools to investigate crime.
The Department is still in an investigative and initial drafting phase. A draft Bill is not yet available. Discussions with some of the law enforcement agencies regarding certain proposed amendments are under way. Public consultation will follow once the Department has processed the draft Bill through the required internal processes.
2. Yes. Section 15 of the RICA deals with the availability of other procedures for obtaining real-time or archived communication-related information. In terms of this section, the availability of the procedures in respect of the provision of real-time or archived communication-related information provided for in sections 17 and 19 of the RICA (applications to the interception judge for real-time communication-related and archived communication related-directions) does not preclude obtaining such information in respect of any person in accordance with a procedure prescribed in any other Act. However, in terms of section 15 of the RICA any real-time or archived communication-related information which is obtained in terms of such other Act may not be obtained on an ongoing basis.
In this regard, section 205 of the Criminal Procedure Act (CPA), 1977 (Act No. 51 of 1977) is relevant. Section 205 of the CPA deals with the power of a judge, regional court magistrate or magistrate, upon the request of a Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) or a public prosecutor authorized thereto by the DPP, to require the attendance before a judge, regional court magistrate or magistrate, for examination by the DPP or the public prosecutor authorized thereto by the DPP, of any person who is likely to give material or relevant information as to any alleged offence, whether or not it is known by whom the offence was committed. If such person furnishes that information to the satisfaction of the DPP or the public prosecutor concerned prior to the date on which he or she is required to appear before a judge, regional court magistrate or magistrate, he or she is under no further obligation to appear before a judge, regional court magistrate or magistrate.
The Department is aware of concerns relating to the application of section 205 of the CPA in order to obtain real-time or archived communication-related information. Since section 205 of the CPA can be used to obtain material and relevant information regarding any alleged offence and not only information relating to communication as provided for in the RICA, the Department will consider amendments to section 15 of the RICA together with the amendments referred to in question 1 above.

The department has a team which is visiting all properties to ensure they are secured, and any illegal occupants engaged and that all leases are regularised. For vacant properties, and expired leases, the department advertised these properties to ensure that we achieve legal occupation speedily, not all the expired leases have been renewed, as this is an ongoing process.
The rental amounts vary for each property as per the attached annexure.
(a) Further details with respect to the leased properties are as per the attached annexure.

Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation
Is the impasse between Government and the Commonwealth Games Federation over monetary obligations required by the federation resolved; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The impasse has been resolved. The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) awarded the bid to host the Commonwealth Games 2022 on 02 September 2015 at its general assembly in Auckland, New Zealand. At the time of awarding the bid, the finance guarantee by the South African Government was not signed, as certain conditions of the host city agreement were not favourable to South Africa and hence could not be signed. This further meant that the outstanding issues raised by the evaluation commission after their visit in April/May 2015 could not be attended to as it was dependent on the negotiations with the Commonwealth Games Federation around matters contained in the financial guarantee and the host city agreement.
Further to the negotiations, South Africa provided a response to the issues by 30 November 2016. The Commonwealth Games Federation completed its detailed review of the final information submitted by South Africa on 30 November 2016 to determine whether the requisite conditions precedent set by South Africa would be acceptable to the Commonwealth Games Federation. The latter however felt that this did not meet with their methodology of games delivery and considered South Africa's position as a departure from the conditions they had set in the proposed Host City Agreement. The Evaluation Commission of the Commonwealth Games Federation did not accept South Africa's conditions, budget proposals and delivery methodology. It was therefore resolved that the Commonwealth Games Federation should withdraw the rights awarded to Durban to host the 2022 edition of the games.

Ross, Mr DC to ask the Minister of Transport
(1)(a) What number of e-toll invoices have been issued in each month (i) in the (aa) 2015-16 and (bb) 2016-17 financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2017 as part of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project and (b) what number of the specified invoices have been paid; (2) what is the (a) current compliance rate and (b) total outstanding amount owed by (i) registered and (ii) nonregistered e-toll users in each case
Reply:
1. The link below indicates the number of invoices issued and paid for each month since 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2017. The information for April 2017 is not yet available, but will be submitted once it is available.
https://pmg.org.za/files/RNW1328Table-170605.pdf
2. SANRAL calculates the compliance rate in Rand value due to invoices varying in terms of tariff due to class of vehicle, time-of-day, frequent user discount, etc. Additionally, it should also be noted that once a vehicle reaches the monthly cap, invoices are still issued even though the value is zero.
a) The compliance rate for February 2017, based on Rand value was 29%.
b) Due to the year-end processes and audits still to be concluded, the value of outstanding debt can’t be disclosed. This will be available once the Auditor-General has concluded the audit on 31 July 2017. The audited results as at 31 March 2016, reflects the outstanding value (trade receivables), which would be for unregistered users, as R7 206 million.

Mulder, Dr CP to ask the Minister of Transport
(a)(i) Why the Telkom lines of the eNatis system have been cut by Telkom and (ii) what is the effect of this on owners of motor vehicles who want to obtain motor vehicle licences, (b) on what date will the matter be resolved and (c) what is the status of any criminal or other statutory accountability towards owners of motor vehicles who cannot obtain an/or renew motor vehicle licences?
Reply:
a) (i) Telkom cut voice services to NaTIS sites on 21 March 2017 because Tasima had not paid.
(ii) There were no adverse effects because the system remained operational as data services were not affected.
b) Voice services were restored on 19 April 2017 after the RTMC had taken over the NaTIS.
c) No owner of a motor vehicle was unable to licence a vehicle due to a planned interruption by Telkom. In the event of an unplanned interruption such as copper theft or other similar incidents, the licensing office logs a call with the provincial helpdesk to obtain a reference number. Through this process, the licensing office is authorised by the provincial helpdesk to backdate the effective date of licensing to prevent any penalties and arrears being payable.

Brauteseth, Mr TJ to ask the Minister of Basic Education
With reference to her reply to question 498 on 5 April 2017, did the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Umalusi increase from R1,867 million to R2,235 million between the (a) 2013-14 and (b) 2014-15 financial years due to the CEO reaching the milestone of 30 years of employment in the public sector; if so, (i) what was the name of the specific award given to the CEO for long service, (ii) what was the amount of the long service award, (iii) at what public service salary level is the CEO of Umalusi employed, (iv) how many years has the CEO of Umalusi been employed in the public service, in each case supplying details of previous positions in the public service and dates appointed, (v) who approved the long service award and (vi) in terms of which legislation was the award made?
Reply:
(a) The increase in the remuneration of the CEO of Umalusi from 2013-14 to 2014-15 financial years was not as a result of a long service award as previously reported. The spur of the moment response given in the meeting of the Portfolio Committee on 3 May 2017 was informed by the fact that such an award was given to the CEO in recognition of his 30 years’ service in the public service albeit a year earlier. The decision for the long service award was guided by the long service policies of the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and Umalusi.
The table below outlines the remuneration components of the total package reported in the annual reports of the abovementioned financial years:

In the 2013-14 to 2014-15 financial years the leave pay-out was the remuneration component that led to the high increase. In 2014 the Remuneration and Human Resources Committee of Council (REMCO) noted that 12 employees had accumulated more than 50 leave days. In May 2014, REMCO recommended to Council to pay out a maximum of 30 days to employees. The recommendation was subsequently approved by Council in June 2014 and the pay-out was actioned in July 2014. Ultimately, only 7 employees were reimbursed, and one of them was the CEO.
(i) The long service award was given to the CEO in January 2013 i.e. the 2012/13 financial year, as stipulated in the policies of the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and Umalusi.
(ii) The amount of the award was R15 000. The employee also encashed 30 days’ annual leave as per the Umalusi policy. The total amount of leave paid out was R188 270.
(iii) The CEO is employed at salary level 16 of the DPSA levels.
(iv) The table below summarises the employment history of Dr Rakometsi from 1 January 1983 to date.

(v) A submission regarding the long service award for the CEO is recommended internally, but ultimately submitted to the Chairperson of Council for approval.
All remuneration aspects of the CEO as the Accounting Officer are recommended to Council as the Accounting Authority and only paid out with Council’s approval. The cost to company is paid in line with the rates as determined by DPSA. To this end, Council is requested annually to approve all annual cost of living adjustments.
Bonus and performance payments are made on an annual basis in line with the performance management and development policy. The award ranges from 2% to 8% of cost to company, limited by the 1.5% of the total remuneration budget. The scores are moderated by members of the Executive Committee of Council (EXCO) and signed off by the Chairperson of Council.
(vi) Legislation informing the long service award is the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and Umalusi policies.

Ross, Mr DC to ask the Minister of Transport
What amount has been paid to the e-toll collection agency (name furnished) since the inception of the e-tolls as part of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project?
Reply:
Since the inception of e-tolls on 3 December 2013, the payments to date amounted to R2.22 billion for full toll operations. It must be noted that this amount cannot be regarded as compensation directly to the toll operator since it includes amounts that are paid via the e-toll operator to other service providers that provide direct services in terms of the project. Most notably are the following services:
Safety and Security Services |
R 19.02m |
Insurance of buildings |
R 11.72m |
Utilities (water, power, property taxes, telecoms), kiosk rental |
R 138.49m |
e-tags procurement from 3rd parties |
R 130.56m |
Invoice printing and posting |
R 225.30m |
SMS's |
R 3.72m |
R 528.81m |
|
Excluding the above payments to other service providers (e.g. municipalities, telco’s, e-tags, Post Office, security and insurance companies), the payments made to the toll operator amount to R1.69 billion over a period of 42 months (Dec 2013 to May 2017). From these payments the operator:
- pays salaries (approximately 1000 people);
- performs system maintenance (toll gantries and all other hardware and software), electrical and building maintenance;
- pays software licenses;
- processes toll transactions;
- generates invoices; and
- operates customer service centres, the call centre, violator processing centre etc.

Walters, Mr TC to ask the Minister of Transport
(a) What is the total number of examiners of vehicles in Limpopo who have been convicted of issuing fraudulent certificates of road worthiness and continue to practice as examiners, (b) why have the specified examiners not been charged and arrested and (c) by what date will they be arrested and charged?
Reply:
It is difficult to report on the statistics relating to convictions of examiners due to the prolonged period it takes to finalise a case; and due to the fact that once a case has been opened with the South African Police Service (SAPS), they must conduct investigations and ultimately prepare the docket for the Department of Justice to prosecute. Therefore a case may take much longer than expected to be finalised. This involves arms of government other than the Department of Transport.
a) The Limpopo province reported that there were no examiners convicted of issuing fraudulent certificates of road worthiness in the 2016 / 17 financial year.
b) See above (a)
c) See above (b)

Hunsinger, Mr CH to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
(1) What is the current amount owed to Eskom by each municipality which is considered to have defaulted on its payment agreement to the electricity supplier; (2) in each case, has (a) his department or (b) any provincial department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs taken any action in terms of section 139(5) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, to implement a financial recovery plan; if not, why not; if so, what was the outcome of this recovery plan; (3) what has he found to have been the reason why each specified municipality is not successful in addressing the Eskom debt?
Reply:
(1) Listed below are municipalities with payment arrangements, however these municipalities have defaulted at some point. These key defaulting municipalities’ combined contribution to overdue municipal debt is 87%.
Table 1: Municipalities with valid payment arrangements, as at 31 January 2017
See the link: http://pmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/RNW87Table-170605.pdf
(2)(a) Section 139(5) states that if a municipality, in financial crisis, breaches its obligation to provide basic services or admits that it is unable to meet its financial commitments, the relevant provincial executive authority must impose a financial recovery plan. The Minister can only intervene in terms of Section 139(7) if the provincial executive authority cannot adequately exercise its power to perform the functions referred to in sub-sections 4 or 5. The national executive authority must then intervene.
National and provincial government is obligated, in terms of Section 154 of the Constitution, to support and strengthen the capacity of municipalities in managing their own affairs and exercising their own power to carry out functions. In holding municipalities accountable, CoGTA as part of the Inter-Ministerial Task Team on Eskom debt, has been in discussion with Premiers, MECs and Mayors. The Department has had engagements with various stakeholders to resolve the issue of Eskom debt. The following agreements were reached:
- Eskom proposed to reduce the current interest rate charged to municipalities that are in arrears from 5% to prime plus 2,5%.
- Eskom will review charging interest after 15 days as opposed to 30 days, in terms of the PFMA.
- Eskom has agreed to allocate the payments by municipalities first toward the principal debt before the interest.
- The majority of municipalities have been assisted to enter into payment agreements. In August 2016, only 24 municipalities had agreements in place. However, as at January 2017, it has increased to 54.
- The Inter-Ministerial Task Team is in the process of resolving the legislative matters on electricity reticulation between Eskom and municipalities.
(3) Based on Eskom’s interaction with municipalities and the Inter-Ministerial Task team (DPE/CoGTA/NT) during 2016, the following common challenges were identified as contributing to the municipalities not honouring their financial obligations with Eskom:
i) Financial
- Cross-subsidisation of electricity revenue for other municipal services.
- Electricity tariff setting is not cost-reflective.
- Some municipalities are grant-dependent.
- Notified Maximum Demand (NMD) penalties and interest on arrears makes it difficult to decrease the principal debt.
ii) Technical
- Eskom charges a high penalty when municipalities exceed the NMD.
- Theft and losses of electricity equates to as much as 50% of purchases in some municipalities.
- A maintenance backlog in infrastructure results in high technical losses.
iii) Legislative Framework
- Municipalities are unable to effect credit control measures in Eskom-supplied areas of electricity supply.

Vos, Mr J to ask the Minister of Transport
(a) What is the total number of examiners of vehicles in the Free State who have been convicted of issuing fraudulent certificates of road worthiness and continue to practice as examiners, (b) why have the specified examiners not been charged and arrested and (c) by what date will they be arrested and charged?
Reply:
It is difficult to report on the statistics relating to convictions of examiners due to the prolonged period it takes to finalise a case; and due to the fact that once a case has been opened with the South African Police Service (SAPS), they must conduct investigations and ultimately prepare the docket for the Department of Justice to prosecute. Therefore a case may take much longer than expected to be finalised. This involves arms of government other than the Department of Transport.
a) According to information provided by the Free State province, no examiners were arrested or convicted in the 2016 / 17 financial year for fraudulent certification of roadworthiness.
b) See above (a)
c) See above (b)

(1) Whether, with regard to the alleged payment of approximately $10 million that Fifa made to the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Football Associations in 2008, using South African funds, the person who decided to make the payment had the necessary delegated authority to make such a decision; if not, (a) who authorised Fifa to make the $10 million payment, (b) who should have authorised this delegated authority and (c) who actually authorised this delegated authority; (2) whether the SA Football Association (Safa) conducted a full inquiry into the alleged unlawful payment; if not, why did an inquiry not take place; if so, will he provide Mr T W Mhlongo with a copy of the results of the inquiry; (3) whether Safa intends to recover the $10 million; if not, what are the reasons for not recovering the money?
Reply:
(1) FIFA was authorized by the South African Football Association (SAFA) to make the necessary payment to the Confederation of North, Central and Caribbean Football Associations (CONCACAF) and was authorized to do so as the funds were destined for the Host Association being SAFA itself.
(2) There was no inquiry into this matter as the payment was not unlawful and SAFA was well within its right to make the payment in furtherance of a standing government programme of making the World Cup an African World Cup, and a FIFA approved programme of ‘Win in Africa for Africa and One Goal’. No South African law was broken in the transactions that ensured to effect the payment of $10 million by FIFA to CONCACAF.
(3) SAFA does not intend to recover this money as it was paid for a legitimate purpose and there is no verdict of wrongdoing on the part of CONCACAF. SAFA has noted the allegations contained in the indictment by the US Attorney General and will follow the developments closely.

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?
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.
