Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education

Whether she has been informed of a protest by up to 5 000 school pupils in the Johannesburg Central Business District on 15 March 2017; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) was permission obtained from her department for the protest, (b) why were the pupils protesting and (c) what steps will her department take to resolve the concerns of the pupils?

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)On what date was she made aware of the letter from Eastleigh Primary School addressed to parents of learners who are foreign nationals at the school, (2) does her department have a policy that authorises the school principal to check legal documentation; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) will her department investigate the matter; if not, why not; if so, by what date will the investigation commence?

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.

(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.

(1)With reference to her department’s presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education on 7 March 2017, (a) how many schools are due to be (i) closed and (ii) merged with other schools in each province, (b) what is the name of each of the specified schools, (c) what is the reason in each case, (d) to which school(s) will the affected pupils be transferred, (e) what is the timeline in each case, (f) what arrangements will be made to transport the affected learners to the specified school(s) and (g) what additional resources will be allocated to such schools, including educators, infrastructure and learning and teaching support materials; (2) did any consultation with stakeholders take place in each case; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?

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.

Profile picture: James, Ms LV

James, Ms LV to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs

Whether the proposed ward-based War Rooms, which the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs in the Eastern Cape has instructed that they must establish in every ward of every municipality, have any basis in legislation; if so, what are the relevant details: (2) is the function of such War Rooms a duplication of the existing ward committee structures; if not, what is their purpose; if so, why are they being established; (3) has the establishment of such War Rooms had a financial implication for the municipalities in terms of (a) support, (b) administration and (c) resources; if not, how are the municipalities expected to operate without resources; if so, (i) on what basis is this unfunded mandate issued and (ii) where are municipalities expected to obtain such resources from?

Reply:

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.

Chance, Mr R to ask the Minister of Human Settlements

Whether she is aware of any excessive regulations and/or red tape due to the delayed finalisation of land transfers for the Grabouw Investment Initiative that is preventing the development of human settlement opportunities in the Theewaterskloof Local Municipality; if so, what steps will her department take to build human settlements in the municipality?

Reply:

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 ...”.

Jooste, Ms K to ask the Minister of Social Development

(1)(a) Why did she visit New York in November 2016, (b) who accompanied her on the trip and (c) what is the detailed breakdown of all costs incurred for the trip in terms of (i) subsistence and travel, (ii) hotel accommodation and (iii) vehicle hire; (2) whether a report on the specified trip will be presented to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development; if not, why not; if so, by what date; (3) why was the trip prioritised when a report on the status of the institutionalisation of grants by the SA Social Security Agency was due to be presented to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development on 16 November 2016? NW44E

Reply:

1. (a) The Minister of Social Development did not visit New York in November 2016, however, the Minister and the delegation from the Department visited Mexico to attend the High-Level Meeting on the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network held in Acapulco, Mexico. The delegation used the opportunity to visit PROSPERA program which is a comprehensive social program initiative implemented by the Government of Mexico. The study visit to Mexico’s PROSPERA program has been outstanding since September 2015 and therefore the Ministerial invitation to participate in the High-Level meeting presented a unique opportunity for the Department to streamline its international programme with the aim to minimize expenditure associated with travel. In the interest of saving costs the Ministerial delegation undertook a visit to the State of Maryland (Baltimore) in the United States of America (USA) to cement bilateral cooperation with the State of Maryland and begin direct interaction with Howard University.

(b) The Minister was accompanied by the following delegation to Acapulco:

  • Mr Abram Phahlamohlaka: Chief of Staff;
  • Ms Mayibuye Mbatha: Private Secretary to the Minister; and
  • Mr Daniel Shivuri: Ministry Administrator.

The study visit to PROSPERA program was conducted in Mexico City and Mr Xolani Khumalo, Director: International Relations joined the delegation for the purpose of preparing for such assignment. In Maryland, USA, the Minister was joined by Ms Constance Nxumalo, Deputy Director-General: Welfare Services and Mr Sipho Shezi: Special Advisor to the Minister to provide political support to the Minister.

(c) In the efforts to contain expenditure of the visits, it must be noted that the Ministerial hotel accommodation in Mexico was catered for by the host country while the Minister and the delegation used standard rooms in Baltimore (State of Maryland). In Mexico, the delegation also shared one vehicle with the Minister. The full breakdown of all costs is as follows:

Item

Total Cost

Flights ticket

R562 547.38

Subsistence &Travel allowance (i)

R89 251.25

Vehicle hire & Hotel accommodation (ii) & (iii)

R118 931.25

Total Cost

R770 729.88

2. Indeed a comprehensive report of the visit may be presented to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development on the date that is mutually agreeable to both parties. As the outcome of the visit please receive a copy of the draft Bilateral Agreement with Mexico (annexure A) as well as the draft Agreement with the State of Maryland in USA (annexure B).

3. Visit to Mexico: The study visit to Mexico’s PROSPERA program has been outstanding since September 2015 and therefore the Ministerial invitation to participate in the High-Level Meeting on the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network presented a unique opportunity for the Department to undertake the much anticipated study visit. The visit also dealt with elements related to the provision of social grants, South Africa could learn good practice from certain aspects of PROSPERA program which is implemented by the Mexican Government. PROSPERA is designed to be inclusive of education and health in addition to social grants. It was revealed to the delegation that the grants system in Mexico is administered by state-owned social bank which eliminate a number of administrative challenges that are experienced in the current South African context.

South Africa is part of the global community and the socio-economic challenges that are encountered in South Africa are similar to those of Mexico and other developing countries of the world. The Mexican social program i.e. PROSPERA has been proven to be working in the Mexican context and South Africa may replicate certain aspects of PROSPERA program for the benefit of impoverished South African population. In pursuit of this, the Department has undertaken a process of concluding a Bilateral Agreement with Mexico on the areas of social development which will provide the basis and legal framework for the implementation of future exchange programs between South Africa and Mexico. The Minister and the delegation also met with the Under-Secretary of SEDESOL (Deputy Minister of Social Development) in Mexico to conclude outstanding political interaction with regards to the draft MOU.

Visit to USA’s State of Maryland: As part of the international cooperation, the Department of Social Development has been negotiating Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with both the State of Maryland and Howard University. Despite the fact that Ministerial delegation did not incur additional flight costs for the visit in question, the opportunity was also utilized to concretize the areas of cooperation with the State of Maryland. The MOU (attached as annexure B) has now been agreed upon and it will be signed via the diplomatic channels. The MOU areas of cooperation include the following:

  • Capacity building within the Department of Social Development social service policy, practice and professionals focused on behavioral health, including mental health;
  • Establishment of partnerships with colleges, universities, and other academic training institutions, in priority areas including social work and early childhood education;
  • Exchange of expertise in the design and rollout of Alcohol and Substance Related Disorder prevention, treatment, after care and reintegration programs. Both parties will seek to collaborate in advocating for early intervention and a more integrated approach with other role players in addressing the challenges of drug abuse;
  • Sharing of good practices that address the needs of foster youth and vulnerable youth between the ages of 19-23 years. This will include youth that graduate out or age out of Foster Care System and Child and Youth Care Centers or facilities;
  • Sharing of good practices that address the needs of the population in the most impoverished communities and the rural areas by initiating DSD programs using various mechanisms, including Non-Profit Organizations (NPO) and Faith Based Organizations (FBO);
  • Sharing of good practices that will assist in developing center and non-center based early childhood programs with parenting training and development, including strengthening family programs;
  • Exchange good practices that will enhance existing youth development, engagement, and delinquency prevention programs to include the use of technology training as well as link to other models, such as entrepreneurship programs; and
  • Jointly work towards strengthening management of monitoring and evaluation of systems that ensure policies are well designed and have the desired impact on programs and services.

In respect of SHRA, it is to be noted that on or about July 2013, the National Department alerted the Social Housing Regulatory Authority Council of alleged act(s) of maladministration of management. The SHRA Council then commissioned a forensic audit investigation, which determined that there was substance to the allegations.

Further investigations were conducted and finalized under the leadership of the Accountant General and National Treasury, who concluded that disciplinary action be taken against officials of SHRA and the department who were involved in the conduct investigated. With respect to criminal conduct, the Accountant General referred those aspects to law enforcement agencies for further action in the normal course. My department will be informed of progress should their involvement be required. Regarding the assets that were in possession of third parties, those aspects were also referred by the Accountant General to the Asset Forfeiture Unit ( AFU) for preservation and forfeiture to the State.

(2) The officials involved resigned from SHRA before the Accountant General commenced with the investigation. Another official left due to the contract of employment coming to an end.

With reference to her reply to question 121 on 28 February 2017, on what basis are the minutes of each meeting of the Transnet Board, where the decision was taken to award the specified contracts, considered commercially sensitive?

Reply:

Protection of proprietary rights is a key consideration in Transnet SOC Ltd’s dealing with potential and current suppliers. Transnet is not at liberty to divulge the details of commercially sensitive information belonging to parties we are contracting without written consent. This includes details such as pricing strategies.

Further, I am satisfied that sufficient information was provided and responded to in detail in the response to Parliamentary Question 121.

Reply:

a) Karate South Africa (KSA), as it is currently constituted, is a member of the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC).  However, such membership is currently under discussion due to the representations that have been made to SASCOC and to KSA to the effect that the latter does not represent the majority of the participants currently registered in Karate. Also, it is said that the current structure differentiates between contact and non-contact Karate. In terms of the National Sport and Recreation Act, 2007 (as amended) and the policy set out by the Department of Sport and Recreation and further embodied in the Constitution of the SASCOC, all members irrespective of race, colour or creed are entitled to participate in any particular sport.  In this specific instance as previously stated, representation has been received by SASCOC to the effect that the majority of participants within KSA are unable to participate in the Sport, due to the current policies of KSA.

b) In terms of SASCOC’s Constitution, should any member of a sporting code, or any particular sports federation have a dispute within its structure, then the same shall be referred to SASCOC for arbitration.  This procedure is currently being exercised by the various parties to the current dispute.

(1) Whether the Fencing Federation of South Africa motivated to the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) for Juliana Barrett to participate in the 2016 Olympic Games hosted by Brazil; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) (a) what was the criteria set by SASCOC for athletes to participate in the 2016 Olympic Games; (3) did the specified person meet the (a) international federations' and (b) domestic federations' criteria; if so, (i) why was the specified person not allowed to compete in the 2016 Olympic Games and (ii) who made the decision?

Reply:

1. The South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC), together with the National Federations (NFs), set the policy for participation in the Olympic and the Paralympic Games. The policy is signed off by the President representing the respective NF two years prior to any games. Once the selection criteria have been signed off by the NF, the onus is upon the NF to confirm that the athlete has met the International and/or Olympic standards; and on that basis all recommendations are made by the NF to SASCOC that the athlete should be admitted as a member of Team South Africa to participate in the Olympic or Paralympic games.

2. Attached is the criteria (annexure 1)

3. (a) It should be noted that athletes do not automatically qualify for selection as a result of being successful in an African Competition. Also, they are required to be ascribed a certain international ranking in order to qualify for the NF participation.

(b) Refer to (3) (a) and the domestic qualification criteria attached.

All athletes must meet the specified criteria.

The decision as to who will represent South Africa as a member of Team South Africa is done solely on the basis that the athletes meet the required International Qualification criteria as set out in the various Federations’ selection policies with SASCOC.

Basson, Mr LJ to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation

(1)With reference to her department’s comments in a presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation on 1 March 2017 that North West still needs support, (a) how will her department assist with the (i) training and (ii) monitoring of workers and (b) on what date will her department commence with training; (2) (a) where did her department withdraw tankers and (b) why were the tankers withdrawn?

Reply:

(1)(a) The Department will assist in registering the process controllers on the Blue Drop System (BDS) for potable water and Green Drop System (GDS) for waste water, both are web-based systems used as regulatory tools by the Department. The process controllers will be registered on the BDS and/ or GDS taking into account their years of experience operating the treatment facilities and relevant qualifications in water or wastewater treatment. Upon completion of the training WSAs will load the recently acquired certificate and the Department approves the process controller to a relevant class based on qualification/s and years of experience and issues a certificate which will indicate the class of a process controller. This will assist in identification of level of compliance of process controllers against the water treatment facilities requirements and further training needed in order for the process controllers to be at the required skills for the treatment facility they operate.

The Local Government Sector Education Training Authority (LG SETA) in collaboration with the Department has just started the process of registering learners (process controllers) in preparation for the implementation of the Recognition of Prior Learning programme for employees working in the water and waste water treatment works.

The programme will be implemented in 7 WSAs, which are Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality, Madibeng Local Municipality, Moses Kotane Local Municipality, Moretele Local Municipality, Ventersdorp Local Municipality and Kgetlengrivier Local Municipality and City of Matlosana Local Municipality. During 2016/17, the Department piloted a groundwater monitoring training for borehole pump operators in the following three Water Services Authorities: Moretele Local Municipality, Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality and the Madibeng Local Municipality. The training programme has been developed to enhance monitoring of groundwater levels by the Water Services Authorities to ensure continuous availability of groundwater within their area of jurisdiction.

(1)(b) The training is envisaged to start on 01 April 2017.

(2) The Water tankers were withdrawn on the 31 January 2017 from the North West, Free State and Eastern Cape Provinces’ municipalities which were affected by drought.

Figlan, Mr AM to ask the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform

With regard to the transfer of Farm 87 Portion 230 Driefontein in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, what are the reasons that the specified land was transferred twice in one day, initially (i) from a certain company (name and details furnished) to a certain company (name and details furnished) and then (ii) from a certain company (name furnished) to the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (details furnished) for a value of R12,1 million and (b) who was/were the person(s) at the Deeds Office who processed the specified transfers; (2) (a) what are the names of the transferring attorneys in this regard and (b) which other state-owned land transactions have the specified attorneys been involved in?

Reply:

1. (i),(ii) Section 96 of the Deeds Registries Act, 1937 (Act No. 47 of 1937) recognises the execution of deeds by prospective owners. Thus, if A purchases land from B and A sells the same land to C before transfer is registered in A’s name, it is perfectly legal to register transfer from B to A and from A to C simultaneously. The reasons for the simultaneous registration of transfer in this instance can be proffered only by the parties concerned and not by the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform.

 (b) The Junior Examiner was T J Mashego and the Senior Examiner was P M Napo.

2. (a) The name of the transferring attorneys is Cliff Dekker Hofmeyer Incorporated.

  (b) The conveyancer in question has lodged several registered transfers/ transactions. However the Deeds Registries System (DRS) cannot provide how many of those are state owned land transactions.
