(1) In response to the key messages of World Cancer Day 2016 – 2019 and theme, “We Can. I Can”, the Department has initiated or been involved in a number of innovations. For example

(a) “Prevent Cancer”: To reduce the number of deaths from cervical cancer the Department introduced the HPV vaccine in 2014 and with this an education campaign. Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer experienced by women in South Africa and causes the highest mortality among Black women. Cervical cancer is preventable through the implementation of the HPV vaccine.

The programme targeted grade 4 girls who are 9 years and older in public and special schools. Approximately 550 000 girls in 17 000 primary schools have been targeted every year since then and a total of just over 1 million girls have been vaccinated. The first round of implementation in 2017 took place from 21 February – 28 March 2017

(b) “ Improve Access to Cancer Care” and “Shape Policy Change”: My Department is in the process of finalising the National Policy Framework and Strategy on the Prevention and Control of Cancer; National Policy on Breast Cancer and National Policy of Cervical Cancer and National Policy Framework and Strategy on Palliative Care. These policies inform innovative implementation of services and will create equitable access to cancer care at all levels of service delivery.

(c) “Make the case for investment” and “Inspire Action and Take action”:

My Department is collaborating with the Medical Research Council to develop a National Research Agenda for Cancer in the country. A Workshop hosted by the Medical Research Council on 23-24 February 2017 identified the urgency to establish evidence to make the case for investment in Cancer and identify the cost to government and patients and their families.

The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements responded that the department does not intend to investigate the price of R12,1 million that the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality paid for purchasing Farm 87 Portion of 230 Driefontein from Living Africa Development (Pty) Ltd. The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements indicated that, all acquisitions were done from the basis of a market valuation based on the value of the property as per legal requirements, which are done by a registered valuer to determine the value at the time of the transaction.

According to the department, Living Africa made Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality an offer for the land on 21 October 2015. They offered the land to Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality for R16,5 million and at the time, the land was valued at R28 million as per Living Africa valuation. The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality further conducted its own valuation which determined the value at R22 million and the municipality started its negotiations at a value of R7,7 million which were not acceptable to the owner. The Property Acquisition Task Team led the negotiations that closed the deal with both parties accepting a sale price of R12,1 million subject to Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality Council approval. According to Gauteng Department of Human Settlements, this transaction is therefore deemed to be above board and was done with Councils best interest at heart.

Based on the response provided by the provincial Gauteng Cogta, Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) opted to provide a similar response to the one that was initially forwarded to the province. As a result, Gauteng Cogta requested national DCoG to use the initial response forwarded by Ekurhuleni. Below is an outline of the initial reply from Ekurhuleni metro:

Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality does not enforce court orders. It is the responsibility of sheriffs of the court to enforce and implement court orders. Ekurhuleni also stated that in regard to court orders relating to evictions on illegally occupied land and contravention of by-laws, for instance, sheriffs of the court are agents responsible for enforcement of these court orders.

Moreover, according to Ekurhuleni, the liquor licenses are issued by Gauteng Provincial Liquor Board, which assumes responsibility over the existence or not of a shebeen or liquor outlet. In other words, Ekurhuleni does not have authority nor form part of processes undertaken by the Liquor Board to oversee existing shebeens and other liquor outlets. Therefore, Ekurhuleni maintains that it is not its responsibility to close down illegal shebeens in keeping with court orders.

1. The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality through Gauteng Department of Human Settlements indicates that (a) public participation processes were not undertaken with the residents of the Angelo informal settlement in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and (b) public participation processes were not undertaken with the residents of surrounding communities before a decision was taken to move the Angelo residents to Farm 87 Portion 230 Driefontein. According to Gauteng Department of Human Settlements, the reasons for public participation not to be conducted with the residents of Angelo informal settlement is that, the meeting scheduled for 04 February 2017 for public participation processes with the residents did not materialize due to unrests in the area and the Councilor requested for the meeting to be postponed.

(iii) eTV – No boxing events were broadcast on eTV.

(c) The partnership of BSA, SRSA and SABC decided on a schedule of fights and allocations to different provinces.

Reply:

(1) At the time of sanctioning the said boxing event, which took place on the 22 April 2016 at East London, Boxing SA had reasonable grounds to believe that it was in receipt of a legitimate legal commitment by the provincial department of Sports, Arts and Culture in the Eastern Cape to pay for the purse money.

It later emerged that the written undertaking purportedly signed by the CFO of the department of Sports, Arts and Culture in Eastern Cape and submitted by the promoter, was actually falsified. It is for that reason that disciplinary steps were taken against the promoter. This resulted in the promoter’s license being suspended and a civil claim being instituted against him to recover the money.

(2) (a) No, in the financial year 2015/16 there were no tournaments staged without payment of purse money.

(b) Yes, (i) Since 1 April 2016, there was a tournament held in Limpopo Province hosted by a consortium led by Limpopo Champions and Xaba Promotions on the 29 April 2016.

(ii) All outstanding monies were subsequently settled with all the licensees.

In the whole Life Esidimeni saga, there are different events and various facts that occurred and emerged and were learnt of at different times respectively.

Unfortunately, the honourable member's question is framed in such a way that it assumes that the events and the facts that subsequently emerged all occurred at the same time and hence were learnt of at the same time.

I will try my best to separate them because that is how in reality they occurred.

I first learnt of the intention of Gauteng Department of Health to terminate their contract with Life Esidimeni and move mentally ill patients to other facilities in November 2015, when section 27, on behalf of South African depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), wrote to the National Department of Health, threatening to take the Gauteng Department of Health to court. They said they will cite the Minister and the Premier of Gauteng though no relieve will be sort from them.

The Director-General of the National Department of Health then contacted Gauteng to try and find out what this is all about as nobody in Gauteng Government ever informed the National Department of Health of any problem pertaining to mental health patients.

After being briefed, the Director-General felt that there is nothing that should provoke a court case and that the issues relating to mental health patients are straight forward and can be settled through a discussion.

The Director-General then facilitated a meeting between the HOD of Gauteng Department of Health, SADAG and Section 27. This meeting culminated into an agreement being signed between Gauteng Department of Health and SADAG whereby it was agreed that if patients have to be moved, they will be moved to facilities that do not offer an inferior service to which they were receiving at Life Esidimeni.

As it emerged later, Gauteng Department of Health unfortunately breached this agreement in every conceivable manner!

Part of the agreement was also that a detailed plan be prepared by the parties (Gauteng Department of Health, SADAG, Section 27) by the end of January 2016.

This agreement was an out of court settlement and hence SADAG withdrew its court case, which was due in court on 22 December 2015. The withdrawal happened on 21 December 2015.

It emerged later that Gauteng Department of Health did not put up a plan by the end of January 2016 as agreed in the out of court settlement.

In March 2016, Section 27 then rushed to court to interdict the Gauteng Department of Health but did not cite the Premier or the National Minister of Health, and hence there was no information forthcoming to the National Department in this regard.

Unfortunately, Section 27 lost the court interdict.

I then came to hear about the death of psychiatric patients who were moved from Life Esidimeni when the MEC for Health in Gauteng, in answering to a question in the legislature, announced that 36 mentally-ill patients died under the care of NGO's in and around Gauteng.

I was completely shocked and could not comprehend the whole thing. I immediately contacted the Health Ombuds person, Prof. Malegapuru Makgoba to investigate.

I subsequently learnt from his report that it was actually 94+ patients who died and not the 36 as earlier announced by the MEC in the Legislature. I also learnt from the Ombud's report that when they died they were under the care of 27 NGO's and that the NGO's were actually having invalid licenses issued by the Gauteng Department of Health. All these facts I only learnt when the Health Ombud presented to me a preliminary report in January 2017.

The MEC for Health in Gauteng had made her announcement in the legislature in September 2016 and the Health Ombud was asked by me to investigate in October 2016. The Health Ombud's final report was only released publicly on 01 February 2017.

The following response was provided by the municipality:

1. (a) The KPMG forensic report was tabled before Municipal Council on the 15th of September 2016.

   (b) The cost of the compilation of the forensic report is R959 593.55.

(2) All of the report’s recommendations were implemented. Further, legal opinion was obtained regarding the matter and its subsequent recommendations were also implemented by putting in place all the applicable corrective measures as espoused in the reports. The Municipal Public Accounts Committee subsequently prepared a report as duly mandated by Municipal Council and submitted the report for Council’s consideration on 27 January 2017.

(3) There is a recommendation with regard to the institution of criminal charges against one of the Joint Venture Company whose termination was also a subject of investigation. However, the matter is still being dealt with by the courts and thus sub duce.

(4) According to the municipality, there has never been an instance where Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) application pertaining to the KPMG was ignored. The municipality has consistently provided the same response to everyone requesting the report that until such time that all Municipal Council processes are duly concluded, the report remains the confidential report of Council.

(5) The forensic investigation did not find any official(s) that had not performed their responsibilities as espoused in their respective job descriptions.

The Department did not procure any services from and/or made any payments to

Mr Mzwanele Manyi, the Progressive Professionals Forum, the Decolonisation Fund or the Black Business Council. The Department procures goods and services from different service providers on rotational basis as per the SCM prescripts and these services were never utilised by the Department.

In October 2016, the Department received correspondence from the Honourable Kevin Mileham, MP. The correspondence was with regard to a forensic report commissioned within the Bela Bela municipality by KPMG. The Honourable Member was requesting a copy of the forensic report for purposes of review and distribution to the Bela Bela Councillors.

According to the Honourable Member, the forensic report was finalised in May 2016. The report is alleged to be available at the Internal Audit department for Councillors to view although they are not allowed to take copies.

Following the request from Parliament, on 04 November 2016, the Department prepared a correspondence requesting the municipality to submit a copy of such a report with a view to assess the report and advise accordingly. The correspondence to the municipality was approved from the Acting Director-General’s office.

On 11 November 2016, the Department received a correspondence from the municipality as a response. The municipality indicated that Council processes are still underway to ensure that the recommendations emanating from the forensic report are implemented. In this regard, they requested to be granted space and time to finalise internal processes before releasing a copy of the report.

 

During its special meeting on the 15th September 2016, the Municipal Council, resolved, amongst others that:

• the report on investigation into various allegations of irregularities in the municipality be noted;
• legal advice sought with regard to the processing of the recommendations of the report to ensure that Council is insulated from any potential litigation;
• all the recommendations of the report which may necessarily not need legal opinion be implemented and subsequently referred to MPAC for processing and reporting to Council;
• the outcomes of the legal opinion on the recommendations of the forensic report be referred to MPAC for further processing and reporting to Council;
• the Manager for Planning and Economic Development, as the designated Acting Municipal Manager during the forensic investigation period, be authorised to handle all the processes of the report until its conclusion in accordance with Council’s Oversight and Governance Structures as outlined above.

It is important to indicate that the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs referred the questions to the Human Settlements, as the sector is responsible for the matters indicated in the questions. The Provincial Department of Human Settlements through the National Department of Human Settlements provided the information in response to the questions.

(1) According to the report received from the Gauteng Provincial Department of Human Settlement, it is indicated that, the studies were undertaken to determine the suitability of the land for human habitation. The studies conducted are the following: (a) Environmental Impact Assessment, (b) Geotechnical Studies and Township Establishment application to determine the suitability of the land for human habitation in farm 87 Portion 230 Driefontein.

(i) The specified studies were concluded on the following dates: Geotechnical studies were concluded and a final report compiled in August 2012, the Environmental Impact Assessment was concluded in May 2016, the assessment has not been approved and the Township Establishment Application was concluded in October 2014, the application has not been approved.

(ii) The outcomes of the studies were as follows:

Geotechnical Studies - the land was categorised into three portions for analysis of its development prospects. Zone A-has a mining depth less than 30m, this is excluded from the developable area. Zone B characterised by shallow undermining where the depth rise is more than 30m, the land is developable with restrictions. Zone C has no undermining at all.

Township Establishment application – the application took the development constraints into cognisance, the Town Planning Layout of the site provides for the following land uses: 12.7h of land constitutes 57.71% of the site to be used for residential development and 9.3h of land that constitutes 42.29% used for Public Open Spaces.

The Environmental Impact Assessment - the land is characterised as largely degraded and thus no objection was noted for housing development purposes.

(2) The department became aware of the (a) open mineshaft during 2012 (b) the date regarding the beginning of a sinkhole on the specified property was not provided by Gauteng Provincial Department of Human Settlements.

(3) The construction (a) was not stopped because it was done in a developable area; (b) the land surveyor demarcated the developable and the undevelopable area. The area where the slabs are laid is the part that is developable according to the township layout plan and the geotechnical studies conducted.

(4) The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements indicated that the Council will:

(a) implement safety measures before relocating the community; and

(b) the area that is prone to sinkholes will be fenced off, and other sinkholes in the area will be filled prior to the relocation of the community..

Based on the information obtained from the Culture, Arts, Tourism, Hospitality and Sports Sector Education and Training Authority (CATHSSETA), the trips assisted to improve performance and benchmark best practices in relation to:

(a) (i) - Establishing partnerships with Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, increased stakeholder engagements and signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with TVET colleges.

- Increasing employer participation, which informed the Sector Skills Plan on scarce and critical skills.

- Increasing awareness and implementation of learning programmes such as Work Integrated Learning (WIL).

- Licencing five TVET colleges to facilitate CATHSSETA learning programmes.

(ii) In the implementation of WIL, the increased partnership agreements with industry resulted in the permanent employment for at least 50% of beneficiaries within the programme.

(b) (i) - Increasing the establishment of MOUs between public and private partnerships within CATHSSETA’s sectors to foster WIL programmes.

         - Increasing the establishment of MOUs with TVET colleges to ensure training of unemployed youth on CATHSSETA learning programmes.

         - Capacitation of TVET college lecturers on education, training and development practices.

        - Initiating a TVET college infrastructure development project to equip TVET colleges with the necessary machinery to offer the Chef qualification.

(ii) Improving the public perception of TVET colleges through various career guidance sharing platforms, which has contributed to increased enrolments at TVET colleges.

(2) The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) reviewed available information regarding the export of lion bones, lion skeletons and captive produced lion hunting trophies from South Africa between 2005 and September 2016. Based on the CITES trade database information and two studies, (i) Bones of Contention: An assessment of South African trade in African lion bone and other body parts and (ii) Southern African Wildlife trade: an analysis of CITES trade in the South African Development Community (SADC) region – a study commissioned by the Department of Environmental Affairs and the South African National Biodiversity Institute, the Scientific Authority recommended an export quota of 800 skeletons per year. The Scientific Authority considered the recommendation by SANBI, and the comments were received by the Department of Environmental Affairs and made a recommendation to the Minister, relating to the final quota.

(3) (a) Lion was temporarily removed from the list of threatened or protected species through a notice in the Gazette, No. 30703, published on 28 January 2008, pending the outcome of the litigation case by the (then) South African Predator Breeders Association against the former Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. Upon delivering of the judgement by the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa on 29 November 2010, lion was not included in the list, on the basis of the ruling:

“It is declared that the inclusion of lion (panthera leo) within the definition of “listed large predator” in the definition in regulation 1 of the Threatened or Protected Species Regulations published on 23 February 2007 as amended, would have the effect of rendering regulation 24(2) in its current form, invalid in so far as it applies to a “put and take” animal that is a lion.”.

(b) Lion has been included in the definition for “listed large predator” in the revised Threatened or Protected Species (TOPS) Regulations that is currently in the final approval process for implementation. The provision of regulation 24(2) of the current TOPS Regulations (referred to in the judgment above) have been amended to avoid a similar legal challenge.

(1) (a) Since April 2016, the Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) programme in partnership with Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) and the South African Local Government Association (SALGA), begun the process of assessing the implementation of the Red Tape Reduction (RTR) guidelines by municipalities. This process is also supported by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). The assessment is based on reducing the regulatory and administrative burdens as experienced by small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) and Co-operatives within the different municipalities. The assessment is based on the following seven indicators and associated legislation/regulations:

(i) Effectiveness of the complaints notification system as governed by the Municipal Systems Act;

(ii) Communication of relevant business information by municipalities to SMMEs and Co-operatives as governed by the Promotion of Access to Information Act;

(iii) Municipal building plan approval processes as governed by the National Building Standards Act, Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act as well as Municipal Services Charter;

(iv) Lengthy and inefficient supply chain management processes (which ultimately affects the 30-day payment system). Relevant legislation would be PPPFA, MFMA and Preferential Procurement Regulations;

(v) Municipal business registration and permits relevant legislation includes: Business Act, National Health Act, National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act including various by-laws those which are relevant to the business licensing process e.g. municipal by-law on food or tourism regulations;

(vi) Development and enforcement of municipal by-laws that promote business development, some of the relevant legislation include the Municipal Systems Act and Local Government Transition Act;

(vii) Assessment of percentage spent in procurement on SMMEs and Co-operatives aligned to the PPPFA and MFMA and preferential procurement regulations.

(b) In terms of Buffalo City the total number of unnecessary (i) policies, (ii) by-laws, and (iii) regulations including associated administrative burdens considered for review regarding red tape reduction as guided by the above mentioned indicators and associated legislation/regulations are as follows: by-laws on traffic congestions and by-laws on informal sector, cumbersome supply chain management (which affects the 30-day payment to SMMEs and Co-operatives), and customer notifications systems.

(c) The total amount of administration costs is determined by each municipality, however the examples mentioned in points below outline how the red tape reduction intervention by DSBD has supported the municipality to improve governance and reduce the regulatory and administrative burden for the benefit of SMMEs and Co-operatives. The total value of these administrative interventions have not been calculated by the municipality.

(2) Examples that outline improvement of business environment with Buffalo city municipality include: (i) the by-laws on traffic congestions has been reviewed within the metropolitan this has greatly reduced congestion and potential high accident zones; (ii) the informal sector by-laws for trading has been reviewed for the provision of relevant infrastructure; (iii) supply chain management processes have been reviewed, specifically delegation of powers to amend and allow divisional managers to authorise payment; and (iv) a training programme on project planning and management on SCM processes has been conducted in partnership with Provincial Treasury.

(a)(b) No central information repository exists to identify those government employees (or their spouses) in national and provincial departments conducting business with the departments that employ them (i)(ii)(iii)(aa). Departments may be approached for such information.

(bb) Regulation 13 (c) of the Public Service Regulations, 2016 (which came into effect on 01 August 2016) prohibits public service employees from conducting business with an organ of state. In terms of regulation 13 (c) provided public service employees with a period of six months (which ended on 31 January 2017) to relinquish their interests in business that are conducting business with an organ of state, or else to resign from the Public Service. In January 2017, a letter was addressed to my colleagues requesting them to bring Public Service Regulations, 2016 and the transitional arrangements to the attention of public service employees registered on the Central Supplier Database. They were also provided with the guideline on sanctions that may be imposed as an outcome of the disciplinary process, when an employee is in breach of Public Service Regulations, 2016. Currently the DPSA is monitoring the implementation of regulation 13 (c), which includes employees conducting business with their departments. We therefore do not as yet have information on action that has been taken against officials.

The requirements for public service employees to disclose the financial interests of their spouses is still to be enacted through the adoption of regulations in terms of the Public Administration Management Act, 2014.

The Township Establishment Application process for the Sunward Park Ext 24-29 housing development in Leeuwpoort, Ward 43, Ekurhuleni has not been concluded. Internal consultation processes are underway in the municipality to finalise the township layout. Thereafter, formal advertisement and application process will commence.

(a) It should be noted that the formal advertisement will be published as soon as all internal and external departments are satisfied with the draft township layout. We are, therefore, not a position to commit to a date when the process will be concluded. The Environmental Authorisation process is also still ongoing.

2. (a) The impact that the high number of learners who move to any province including the Western Cape is that the majority of the learners arrive late in such provinces, often between January and March. They place a huge pressure on the receiving province to accommodate them and provide all the necessary resources and support. The financial impact and cost to the Provincial Education Department is huge as this is not factored into the norms and standards allocation.

(ii) The impact on provinces from which learners migrate is that provincial departments in rural provinces are forced to merge or close some of the schools and teachers deployed to where their services are required.

Reply:

 

1. The Department was made aware of the letter when an anonymous caller wanted to confirm the legality of the letter sent out to parents by Eastleigh Primary School a few days after its distribution.

2. A school principal is the representative of the Provincial Head of Department at schools level. The principal is required in terms of Section 14-21 of the National Education Policy Act, 27 of 1996 which deals with documents required for admissions to verify all submitted documents for the purpose of admissions of all learners in a school.

3. The Department will not investigate the matter as the matter was addressed with the School Management Team and the School Governing Body. The letter of 22 February 2017 was withdrawn by the school and an apology letter was sent to all parents of the school. The Gauteng Department of Education is working with the Department of Home Affairs in the area to assist affected parents and prevent the repeat of the incident.

Reply:

1. (a) – (e) The Department has forwarded the question to the Provincial Education Departments and is awaiting the response. The response will be forwarded as soon as the Department receives it.

(f) As part of the process of rationalisation, merging and closing of schools, learners who will need to be transported from their current schools to the host school are identified, the routes finalised and approved. These are then factored into the transport plan that is submitted to the Department of Transport for the transportation of these learners.

(g) The LTSM resources of the closed school are transferred to the host school that has been identified to accommodate the learners from both schools that are merged. Where there are shortages, additional orders are placed to ensure the requisite LTSM resources are supplied to the school.

However, it must be noted that provisioning of educators at receiving schools is in terms of the post provisioning norms, which takes into account the number of learners as one of the factors.

2. The Department has forwarded the question to the Provincial Education Departments and is awaiting the response. The response will be forwarded as soon as the Department receives it.

Reply:

a) The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) was not informed of the protest prior to the protest day, and therefore, permission to protest was not granted. The number of learners that participated in the protest led by COSAS on 15 March 2017 is estimated to be around 2 000 and not 5000.

b) The demands of the protesting learners, as captured in the attached memorandum, Annexure A, submitted to the MEC on 15 March 2017 include the following:

1. Termination of contracts between GDE and the National School Nutrition Programme service providers who distribute food to schools.
2. National School Nutrition Program to include breakfast.
3. Provision of Economic Empowerment (Entrepreneurship) lessons in the school curriculum.
4. Provision of still water and not Rand water to schools.
5. Provision of scholar transport to learners that walk for more than 5Km.
6. Provision of sanitary towels for girl learners.
7. Provision of free uniforms to learners.
8. Replacement of chalkboards with smartboards in all schools.
9. Construction of swimming pools in townships schools.
10. Construction of schools of excellence in all townships.

c) The GDE will be engaging the learners through COSAS with regard to all their demands. However, the Department takes exception to the violent behaviour displayed by the learners during the protest.

(1)(b)(i)(ii)

Retention and retrieval of textbooks are deemed to complement each other and therefore targets have not been separated for each. The department has provided the sector with guidelines which aims for a retention and retrieval rate of 95%.

(2)(a)(b)

Textbooks and other LTSM are maintained through the Retention and Retrieval Guidelines, which is also managed in context with the asset management policies of each provincial department and district. The Guidelines seeks to promote preservation of learner teacher support material as well as holding managers of schools accountable for low retention and retrieval.

In addition, schools are encouraged to implement effective retrieval and retention practices in order to reach universal coverage of textbooks. The attainment of universal coverage is incentivized by allowing schools autonomy to divert textbook budgets towards other learner teacher support materials that the school may deem necessary to promote teaching and learning.

Service Delivery War Room is a province-wide, integrated, comprehensive and sustainable service delivery model that seeks to radically restructure the interface between government and the people to better respond to the needs of the people. The collaborative War Room Machinery aims to improve government’s service delivery capacity and build an activist public service that is responsive to the needs of the people.

1. The establishment of ward-based War Rooms is intended to give effect to Chapter 3, section 41(1)(c) and (h) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa,1996, that provides for the principles of co-operative government and Inter-governmental relations in the three spheres of government.

The War Rooms’ model is also meant to give effect to section 16 and 17, Chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act Chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act that all for municipalities to have a mechanism for public participation, War Rooms become that mechanism for involving the public in planning, implementation and monitoring of service delivery as the public gets to participate trough their structures in War Rooms.

2. War Rooms are not a duplication of ward committees. War Room serves as an inclusive support structure that is aimed at promoting public participation in the affairs of the municipal council in a ward in a structured and coordinated manner.

3. The War Room is premised on the utilization of existing municipal resources. War Rooms are conducted in community halls or public institutions. Development Workers do not receive additional remuneration.

(a) in terms of support, Cogta and the Office of the Premier utilize their resources to support municipalities to conduct workshops and training;

(b) on administration, Community Development Workers provide administrative support and their remuneration is provided for by Cogta; and

(c) there are no additional resources that are expected from municipalities in operating the War Rooms.

  (i) War Rooms are regarded as Integrated Services Delivery Models meant to bring together fragmented service delivery to communities and are therefore not viewed as unfunded mandate; and

  (ii) Municipalities are using the existing resources and are supported by Cogta and the Office of the Premier.

b) As much as workload is heavy the office of the Secretary for Defence, does have a strategy to manage the workload.

The land referred to in the question belongs to the National Department of Public Works. The Honourable member should approach the Minister of Public Works for information on the land.

Furthermore, the Honourable member should take time to go through the document titled, “Guide to Parliamentary Questions in the National Assembly”, which indicates that the phrase “aware of” should be avoided. This document states that:

“Aware of: In questions we generally avoid the phrase “aware of” and usually formulate the question: “Whether he has been informed of ... / or whether he has received representations regarding ...”.
