Tarabella - Marchesi, Ms NI to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(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.

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

Tarabella - Marchesi, Ms NI to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(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.

Tarabella - Marchesi, Ms NI to ask the Minister of Basic Education

(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.

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.

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.

Marais, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
In view of reports that a certain person (name and details furnished) was suspended and eventually exonerated of all wrongdoing following a disciplinary hearing, (a) why has the specified person not yet been reinstated into the SA National Defence Force and/or her department, (b) what has been the subsequent impact on the workload and the required performance of the Office of the Secretary of Defence, (c) why should the expense of almost R3 million that the person has received as remuneration not be viewed as wasteful expenditure and (d) what steps has she taken to (i) rectify the situation and (ii) prevent it from happening again?
Reply:
a) The Secretary for Defence has uplifted the special leave, after the finalization of the disciplinary hearing where the employee was not found guilty, however the Chairperson of the Disciplinary hearing found that there’s incompatibility between herself and the Secretary for Defence (Head of Department) as well as other employee’s in the office of the Secretary for Defence.
b) As much as workload is heavy the office of the Secretary for Defence, does have a strategy to manage the workload.
c) The remuneration paid to Ms. Lujiza cannot be viewed as fruitless and wasteful expenditure since it had to follow the normal disciplinary process.
d) i) The Secretary for Defence has uplifted the employee special leave and her current utilization is under consideration.
ii) Labour relations issues are ongoing issues which are addressed accordingly as and when the needs arise.

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 ...”.

Reply:
(1) The Estate Agency Affairs Board, National Housing Builders Registration Council, Housing Development Agency, National Urban Reconstruction and Housing Agency, Rural Housing Loan Fund and the Community Schemes Ombud Service have not initiated any forensic investigations against the staff or board members in the past three financial years
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.
(3) No

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:

R89 251.25 |
Vehicle hire & Hotel accommodation (ii) & (iii) |

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.

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.

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.

Shinn, Ms MR to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services
Whether he and / or his Department has taken any action to cancel the contracts and agreements signed with certain companies (names furnished), the service providers who were allegedly appointed in contravention of the Universal Services Access Agency of South Africa’s supply chain management policy according to the National Treasury’s investigation, if not, in each case, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
The Project Management Office of the Broadcasting Digital Migration Programme (“BDM”) falls within the mandate of the Department of Communications. Legal action pertaining to any alleged irregularities flowing from the SCM process must therefore be dealt with by the Department of Communications as the competent Department mandated with the BDM programme.
However, I am advised by USAASA that it is reviewing the entire procurement process.

Esau, Mr S to ask the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform
Has he found that regulations and/or reference conveyance laws were transgressed when Farm 87 Portion 230 Driefontein was purchased by the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality in 2016 for a price of R 12,1 million; if so, what are the relevant details of all transgressions?
Reply:
In the registration of transfer of Portion 230 (portion of portion 1) of the Farm Driefontein to the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, there was no transgression of any regulation or conveyancing laws. The simultaneous registration of transfers in favour of successive purchasers is permissible in terms of section 96 of the Deeds Registries Act, 1937 (Act No. 47 of 1937). However, if the honourable member has information that he wishes to bring to my attention, he is kindly requested to contact my Office on 012 312 9300 or 021 4611301.

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.

Shinn, Ms MR to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services
Whether any of the three set-top box suppliers who received orders from the Universal Services Access Agency of South Africa (USAASA) on 6 August 2015 is taking legal action against (i) USAASA and/or (ii) his department for the cessation of their assembly processes; if so, what are (a) the terms of reference of the specified legal actions and (b) the responses of (i) USAASA and (ii) his department?
Reply:
I have been informed by USAASA as follows:
(i) The three service providers, namely Leratadima Marketing Solutions, CZ Electronics and Bua Africa have separately declared a dispute for arbitration. So far, only Leratadima Marketing Solutions and CZ Electronics have filed their claims in the Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (AFSA). USAASA has not yet received claims from the third service provider.
(a) Leratadima Marketing Solutions claim is in two parts. In the first part it seeks an order declaring that USAASA is liable to pay Leratadima Marketing Solutions for variation in the foreign exchange rate, which occurred during the subsistence of the Purchase Order which Leratadima was executing. The second part relates to a consequential loss which it has suffered as a result of suspension of production.
CZ Electronics has also filed its Statement of Claim with AFSA for the exchange rate variance, suspension of manufacturing, outstanding invoices and consequential loss.
(b) (i) USAASA is not contractually liable to the service providers to pay for the variance in the exchange rate. It was the responsibility of the service providers to hedge against fluctuations in the exchange rate. This was an express term of the purchase orders which are an integral and constitutive part of the agreements between USAASA and the service providers. The service providers at their own risk failed to hedge themselves against the fluctuation in the exchange rate. USAASA did not commit to pay the service providers for the variance in the exchange rate. USAASA could consider, and only on compassionate and benevolent grounds, partial assistance to the service providers provided it got additional funding from National Treasury for that purpose. National Treasury did not provide USAASA with any additional funding to pay the service providers for the variance in the exchange rate.
In so far as the claim for consequential loss is concerned, the Supply and Delivery Agreements with service providers stipulate that neither party shall be liable for the special or consequential damages suffered by the other party arising out of the agreement howsoever arising.
(ii) The Broadcasting Digital Migration Programme (“BDM”) falls within the mandate of the Department of Communications and as such, the acting Director-General of the Department of Communications commissioned an investigation into the supply chain management (“SCM”) processes followed by the USAASA in appointing a panel of service providers for the BDM programme. Legal action pertaining to any alleged irregularities flowing from the SCM process must therefore be dealt with by the Department of Communications as the competent department mandated with the BDM programme.

Bergman, Mr D to ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation
(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.

Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Economic Development
(a) What is his department’s working definition of radical economic transformation and (b) how does his department plan to translate radical economic transformation into programmes and projects in the 2017-18 financial year?
Reply:
Radical economic transformation has been defined in the State of the Nation Address. Policy-specific elaborations at the level of economic development for the 201718 financial year would normally be done during the Economic Development Budget Vote.
Subject to the above, the following additional details are provided.
In the context of our challenges, radical economic transformation is about ensuring growth that directly, sustainably and expeditiously promotes national development goals. These goals are focussed on addressing the high levels of poverty, inequality and unemployment in South Africa. To achieve this, the country needs faster growth, more inclusive growth and job-rich growth so that the economy can generate the resources to meet these defining challenges of our times.
‘Transformation’ includes two key components.
The first is to grow the size and resilience of the economy, including through promoting entrepreneurship on scale, increasing the level of investment in the economy, promoting beneficiation of raw materials into finished goods; strengthening economic links with the rest of the African continent and promoting higher levels of industrial innovation as well as addressing the other key structural constraints identified in the New Growth Path and the National Development Plan. The ratings downgrade is bad news for our efforts to grow the economy at a faster and more inclusive level and thus we need to take steps to ensure that we regain investment-grade status from lenders and pursue a credible, bold inclusive growth strategy in the interest our people. In the medium to long term, the levels of domestic savings need to be increased to enable us to finance more of our growth efforts from internal resources, with the resultant returns helping to increase the levels of national wealth. Foreign investment will remain an important source of innovation, new technology and market access and must be encouraged, particularly in sectors where domestic capabilities are limited.
The second is to improve the participation by and benefits of black South Africans in the economy, including through increased equity by black investors in the economy; worker-participation in company boards and as shareholders in the firms concerned; job creation that can draw in and benefit large numbers of unemployed persons; promotion of small businesses and township and rural enterprises; and improvements in skills, wages and productivity of workers. Young people are a major resource for a fast-growing economy and we need to step up efforts to draw in the talents and energy of youth, as entrepreneurs and creators of new wealth and as skilled workers, artisans and technicians that competitive economies depend on. A programme that is aimed at enriching only a small number of persons will not address the gaping levels of inequalities, provide social stability and or be sustainable. The high levels of wealth and economic concentration act to deter and at times inhibit new entrants from securing space in the economy. Pervasive exclusionary conduct, many examples of which the competition authorities have begun to uncover over the past few years, aggravates this situation. This means we need to address both the structural and corporate behaviour challenges in the economy to enable a more open, competitive and dynamic economy to develop. Corruption, maladministration by public institutions and state capture by narrow vested interests will profoundly undermine economic transformation. Any programme that will see the majority of citizens benefitting from economic transformation must therefore also entail fighting corruption and attempts at state capture.
‘Radical’ in the above context of economic transformation refers to ensuring that transformation is bold, extensive and implemented expeditiously.
At an operational level, the Department has implemented or supported policies and measures to promote inclusive economic growth, which includes addressing transformation of ownership, management, staffing and conditions of employment in the economy. I wish to highlight a few examples of these.
The IDC introduced a special programme to support black industrialists, with a capital allocation of R23 billion. This programme was announced in parliament during my Budget Vote previously and has been widely welcomed by Members of Parliament and stakeholders. This is a significant pool of capital that is available at concessionary rates to black South Africans who seek to invest in sustainable businesses in productive sectors of the economy. I will provide further details of progress we have made in the Department’s Budget Vote in due course.
The competition authorities and the Department pursued black economic empowerment, small business and employment protection and job-creation objectives through a number of mergers and acquisitions, including more recently in respect of Coca-Cola, AB InBev and Edcon. For example, a portion of the equity in Appletiser has been set aside for black South Africans in the Coca-Cola transaction. The Edcon transaction has a significant employment commitment that will affect tens of thousands of black workers. The AB InBev transaction specifically targets the development of a class of small-scale farmers, most of who are black, with a commitment to integrate them into the commercial value-chain of the company.
In settlements of cartel cases, such as in the construction and metal industries, the settlement agreements covered bold economic transformation goals. In the case of three major listed companies in construction, they intend to sell more than 50% of their shares to black shareholders and open up a sector that had been characterised by high levels of concentration. The primary steel-maker agreed last year to revise its shareholding and it agreed to certain employment commitments that can benefit previously-excluded South Africans.
Details of the work of the Department on infrastructure development, job creation and the promotion of investment in South Africa has previously been highlighted in the Economic Development Budget Vote and presentations to the Portfolio Committee and will therefore not be repeated here.
In order to ensure that transformation is sustainable, it is important to
- build a wide social consensus on the modalities that are put in place and ensure they are transparent, effective and not used misused through fronting; and
- avoid transformation being used as a smokescreen to pursue narrow agendas including the empowerment of a favourite few. If we want to ensure real transformation, then the resources of the state and commitments by private capital must be applied with integrity and be free of corruption.
We must work hard therefore to ensure that millions of South Africans benefit from transformation. It requires a new, bolder approach by the business community, working in partnership with the state and labour. The worker empowerment model has great promise in that it ensures that key stakeholders in the economy can benefit from empowerment and have the twin benefits of performance gains in the companies concerned (and therefore benefit the economy as a whole), as well as equity gains that reduces the levels of inequality in South Africa. Job creation must be a central pillar and the more than 2 million new jobs created since the adoption of the New Growth Path must be further stepped up. The youth investment programmes should be strengthened and in addition, complemented where warranted, by stronger mentoring support by existing successful businesses and inclusion of youth-owned enterprises in major supply-chains. Funding for innovation-driven businesses need to be a priority in the work of development finance institutions and private capital markets. Actions against economic exclusion should be pursued firmly, including measures to deal with cartels and monopolies and with corruption and attempts at state capture. Finally, a broader social partnership should underpin our joint efforts so that we are able to draw in the resources and capacities across the society to address poverty, inequality, unemployment and economic exclusion.
