(a) No investigation was initiated in terms of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999 and the Treasury Regulations, as there was no (a) fruitless, wasteful or irregular expenditure with regard to the awarding of the scarce skills allowance.

14.8 Mr Nkgodi

At the time of him being awarded the scarce skills allowance, Mr Nkgodi was already performing the respective duties classified as scarce skills. He had completed three years of service performing those duties, although he did not possess any formal relevant qualifications. Prior and during his deployment in the Questioned Documents Unit, Mr Nkgodi received extensive training and development, as well as mentorship and guidance, upon completion of such training.

SAPS Directive with reference 4/2/1 dated 13 November 2006, paragraph 8, reads as follows:

“where internal training is provided to an employee in order for him to perform the required duties in a scarce skills occupation category, such training/qualification will be recognised for the payment of the allowance to the employee”

Taking the above into consideration, internal training combined with his three years of experience in the field, qualified Mr Nkgodi for the allowance.

14.9 Major General Shezi

At the time of receipt of the scarce skills allowance, Major General Shezi was responsible for Quality Management within the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), as a Control Forensic Analyst. She was in possession of a BSC degree from the University of Durban Westville, which is the required qualification, as well as relevant experience in the field, dating back from 1996. She was also a trained DNA expert, responsible for the Quality Management System of the Biology Section of the FSL.

Major General Shezi qualified for the scarce skills allowance in terms of the Scarce Skills Policy, read with SAPS directive 4/2/1, dated 13 November 2006, paragraph 4.1 which reads as follows:

“4.1 The Minister, in terms of the powers vested upon him, approved the payment of a monthly scarce skills allowance to the following occupational categories:”

R6,333-00	R1,500-00	R1,000-00	R400-00
Task Force Members – this is in line with allowances paid for Task Force Members in the SANDF	Scientific Analyst Unit	Questioned Documents Unit	Armoury
	Mechanical and metallurgical Engineers	Ballistics	Hostage Negotiator
	Chemistry Unit	Facial Identification Experts	Diver
	Biology Unit	Criminalistics Experts
	Facial Reconstruction	Radio Technical Services
	Technical Personnel (LAME)	Serious Economic Offences
	AFIS Project Manager	Commercial Branch
	Architects and Engineers	Organised Crime

The matter between NCR v Nedbank was referred to the National Consumer Tribunal on September 2015. Pleadings were due to close on 19 October 2015. The Respondent however, filed for a Condonation application on 22 January 2016 to extend the time period for the filling of its answering affidavit. The NCT is still considering the Application for Condonation which was rendered complete on 02 December 2016. The matter still needs to be set down for pre-hearing after the Condonation ruling is issued. The Tribunal anticipates the Condonation ruling being issued to the parties before the end of February 2017. The pre-hearing will be set down in April 2017 with the hearing set down for June 2017 subject to the availability of both parties.

The matter between NCR v Standard Bank was referred to the National Consumer Tribunal in July 2015. The matter has been set down for a hearing on 26, 27 and 28 July 2017. The judgment may be issued during August 2017.

1. There is no specific budget for the State of the National Address (SONA). Each Division, Component and/or Province manages the SONA from its respective line function budget.

The provisional overall expenditure for SONA 2017 is R4 085 035,00. The actual expenditure is not yet determined, pending the finalisation of all claims.

2. The South African Police Service (SAPS) made use of safety and blockading equipment. As a member of the National Joint Operational & Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS), SAPS utilised members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) in a supporting role.

The State Security Agency (SSA) participated in the security arrangements of the hosting the 2017 State of the Nation Address (SONA) in accordance with the constitution and other relevant legislation and its mandate as prescribed in the National Strategic Intelligence Act, 1994, amended by the General Intelligence Laws Amendment Act, 2015.

The SSA furthermore rendered its services in the context of the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster (JCPS) as guided by the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS). The purpose of such services is to ensure a safe and secure environment, and to mitigate risks associated with instability.

There was no specific allocation as the costs associated with this work came from the normal operational budget of the Agency.

(1) Yes. The detail of question (1) is dealt with in Tables 1, 2 and 3 attached as Annexure A, B and C. For the sake of clarity, a TS 4 Recommendation refers to a warning issued to the vehicle testing station as a result of unresolved findings against the vehicle testing station. A TS5 recommendation refers to recommendation for suspension as a result of continuous unresolved findings.

(2) The detail of question (2) is dealt with in Tables 1, 2 and 3 attached as Annexure A, B and C:

(3) (a) In terms of the National Road Traffic Act, Act 93 of 1996, Motor vehicle registration, testing and licensing remains the responsibility of the applicable MEC in a province. With it comes the responsibility to provide services in this regard. In terms of the legislation the Inspectorate for Testing Stations must make recommendations to the MEC in terms of the compliance of vehicle testing stations in the province. It remains the prerogative of the MECs to make their own decisions with regard to the recommendations.

(b)In order to harmonize the implementation of legislation and standards, the Department has encouraged provincial participation in the Vehicle Technical Committee and Legislation Forums. Furthermore, legislation is going to be amended to ensure that the requirements are standardized.

(a) It is cumbersome to report on the statistics relating to convictions of Examiners due to the prolonged period it takes to finalise a case due to the fact that once a case has been opened with the SAPS, they must conduct investigations and ultimately prepare the docket for the Department of Justice to prosecute. Therefore a case may take up to two years to be finalised. Below is the numbers that have been convicted:

Province	(i) 2013-14	(ii) 2014-15	(iii) 2015-16
Eastern Cape	0	0	0
Free State	0	0	0
Gauteng	0	7	2

1. (a) At its meeting of 5 October 2016, the Political Heads of the PICC’s SIP 2 Committee endorsed the recommendation tabled for the selection of a preferred alternative for the improvement of the N3 Van Reenen Pass. It was also at this meeting where the Minister of Transport confirmed her decision to return to the drawing board the De Beers Pass project, in view of the serious concerns raised by various stakeholders in the Free State province. As such going forward the new project will be called the N3 Van Reenen Development.

(b) (a) (b) The Department is finalising an official instruction to SANRAL in this regard. SANRAL will be required to conduct a detailed investigation and costing of this preferred option along with its variations. The output of this process will be submitted to the Minister of Transport and the PICC for consideration.

(c) The existing concession contract was structured to make provision for the development of the De Beers Pass. This financial provision will now be made available to fund the new preferred option. In the event that the costing in (b)above exceeds this financial provision within the Concession contract, the Minister of Transport working in conjunction with the PICC, National Treasury and the Free State Province will determine the best funding model to cover the funding shortfall. This is imperative as neither the concession contract nor SANRAL will be able to carry the additional costs.

(d) (i)(ii) This process will be informed by the process stipulated in (b) above, and will be communicated in due course. It must be noted that the De Beers Pass was modelled not to result in additional toll tariffs.

(e) This is dependent on (b) above, which is envisaged to take a minimum of 12 months. It also depends on the environmental requirements of the preferred option, the resolution of any funding shortfall that may arise, securing the necessary licenses for water use and quarrying and the bidding process. Nonetheless, actual construction is not expected to start before 2020.

2. This will be covered in above. The timelines are as stipulated in (e) above.

1. The Ministerial Handbook governs the acquisition as well as the replacement of official vehicles as procured for both the Minister and the Deputy Minister.

In terms of Chapter 5, paragraph 1.2.1 of the Ministerial Handbook, Members at a National level may be provided with one vehicle for the use in Cape Town and one vehicle for the use in Pretoria.

Paragraph 1.2.3 of the Ministerial Handbook stipulates that Departments may purchase official vehicle/s directly from manufacturers and/or their dealerships only when the currently provided officials vehicle for that office has reached 120 000km’s or 5 years, whichever comes first.

Paragraph 1.2.4 of the Ministerial Handbook stipulates that the total purchase price of the vehicle chosen by the Member may not exceed in respect of a:

• Minister/Premier: 70% of the inclusive annual remuneration package of a Minister as may be amended from time to time on recommendation of the Commission for the Remuneration of Political Members (Grade F, Notch 3),
• Deputy Ministers/MEC: 70% of the inclusive annual remuneration package of a Deputy Minister as may be amended from time to time on recommendation of the Commission for the Remuneration of Political Members (Grade E1, Notch 3).

2. The following two vehicles were procured for the Deputy Minister:

Audi A8 3.0 TDI Quattro Tip-tronic (R750 000.00)

1. No optional extras were added.
2. Standard Audi 5 year/100 000km maintenance plan included in the purchase price.
3. Audi Centre Fourways.
4. The vehicle was pre-owned.

Audi A7 Sportback 3.0 TDI Tip-Tronic (R735 000.00)

1. No optional extras were added.
2. Standard Audi 5 year/100 000km maintenance plan included in the purchase price.
3. Audi Centre Fourways.
4. The vehicle was pre-owned.

3. The procurement of the vehicles was done in terms of normal Supply Chain Management processes. The vehicles were available on the transversal contract RT 57 through National Treasury for the Supply and delivery of motor vehicles, light and heavy commercial vehicles, busses and motor cycles to the State for the State at a cost in excess of 32% more than the quoted price from Audi Centre – Fourways. Annexure: B, paragraph 3 of the approved Departmental Supply Chain Management Policy caters for exemption of the three quotation and deviation rule for the sourcing of vehicles for Executive Authorities when the vehicle is not available on the transversal contract RT 57. Deviation approval was sought from Annexure: B, paragraph 3 of the approved Departmental Supply Chain Management Policy as the vehicles were available on RT 57 but at a premium price. The deviation approval was in light of “Value for Money” which is one of the key principles to consider during Demand Management within the Supply Chain Management arena.

4. The budgeted amount for the vehicles is in line with the threshold stipulated in the Ministerial Handbook.

5. No approval was granted for any deviation from the threshold amounts as set by the Ministerial Handbook as the vehicles procured for the Deputy Minister were far less than the 70% threshold amount per vehicle of the Deputy Minister’s inclusive annual remuneration package.

(c) Four key initiatives are being implemented to improve student performance at individual subject and overall certification levels:

(i) A student attendance policy was introduced in 2014 and implementation was strengthened in 2015 and 2016, where students need to comply with at least an 80% attendance rate to qualify to write the examinations. Notable improvements in student attendance have been recorded, although there are still colleges who struggle to entrench a culture of attendance. The recent student protests have also militated against disciplined attendance.

(ii) Since 2016, all colleges are required to develop and implement annual Teaching and Learning Plans (TLPs) with standards for curriculum delivery across seven key areas:

• Enrolment preparation;
• Classroom teaching and support;
• Student practical application for on-course learning;
• Student assessments: On-site and continuous assessments;
• Student academic support;
• Lecturer support and capacity-building; and
• Work placement (students and lecturers).

The TLPs are submitted and analysed by the Department. Officials in the six regional offices provide support to the colleges to improve curriculum delivery and provide qualitative reports on the status of teaching and learning in the colleges. Through this process, colleges are compelled to identify gaps in the delivery of quality teaching and learning, and to commit to addressing these gaps.

(iii) Lecturer capacity building has been identified as a critical area towards improving student performance. The number of unqualified lecturers, i.e. lecturers without a professional and academic/technical qualifications, is below 700 against a potential lecturing workforce of around 10 000. A larger problem exists in that the qualified lecturers’ knowledge and competencies have not kept abreast with the new and revised curricula in the NC(V) qualifications. To address this gap, 36 curriculum specialists will be appointed in 2017 in the poor performing subjects to provide support to lecturers in the delivery of these subjects.

(iv) Students accessing TVET colleges generally have poor learning foundations (literacy and numeracy) and putting them into bridging programmes whilst concurrently enrolled in TVET programmes places unrealistic academic demands on these students. The Department will be introducing a Foundational Learning Programme (FLP) in 2018, for all new TVET enrolees without a National Senior Certificate. Placement in the FLP will be based on a baseline test developed by the Career Development Services unit located within the Department.

It has come to my attention that various allegations were made on several aspects related to the University of Zululand.

I have written to the Council on 2 September 2016 expressing my concern on the slow progress and current developments on matters that affect the governance, management, student life and academic enterprise of the institution. I have also expressed my concern to the Council on newspaper articles regarding alleged financial irregularities and flouting of supply chain management processes committed by senior management at the university and that the Department was not being appraised of these disturbing developments, despite requests to the Council to keep the Department informed.

I have requested the Council to provide a response as part of a formal process as to why the appointment of an independent assessor, in terms of Sections 44 and 45 of the Higher Education Act, 1997 (Act No. 101 of 1997) as amended, should not be considered. Council has responded in a letter dated 12 December 2016. I am currently applying my mind on the response of the Council and whether to conduct an independent assessment to ascertain the factual nature of these matters.

a) Three Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges were affected.

b) College of Cape Town and Northlink TVET College in the Western Cape, and Ingwe TVET College in the Eastern Cape.

c) The Department utilises the Government Printing Works (GPW) on an agency basis to print, pack and dispatch TVET college question papers. GPW experienced production challenges during the November 2016 examinations and this together with severe inclement weather, made it impossible for Skynet (the contracted courier company) to timeously deliver the question papers to all examination centres. Flights were cancelled due to severe inclement weather on the eve of the examinations, despite overnight / same-day services being contracted for the particular consignment.

d) (i) Colleges are required to immediately inform the Department of delivery problems on the morning of an examination, when collecting question papers from the secure delivery point. All the affected question papers were replaced and rescheduled for the three affected colleges.

(ii) A full post-examinations analysis of the services rendered by GPW during the November 2016 examinations has been concluded. GPW has re-evaluated its in-house resources, structures and processes in light of the findings to ensure timeous dispatching of question papers in future examinations cycles. In addition, GPW has committed to having an available back-up provider should it run into technical printing and packing challenges. This will ensure the timeous release of question papers to Skynet. The Department will also institute an on-site monitoring process at GPW to ensure that all examination question papers are delivered within agreed upon dates per examinations cycle.

1. After the first democratic elections in 1994, the National Education Policy Act 1996 (No 27 of 1996) was developed, which made provision for the determination of national educational policy regarding curriculum frameworks, core syllabi and educational programmes. Through this Act, the Report 191 (2001/08) policy document “Formal technical college instructional programmes in the RSA” was published and replaced all the previous NATED 02-190, NATED 02-191 and 190-191 reports.

Throughout this time, changes to the programmes were made through “Conditions of Apprenticeship” regulations, normally upon request from industry as and when required. With the introduction of the Skills Development Act in 1998, the Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) had taken over the updating of the conditions of apprenticeships. The Report 191 programmes were effectively replaced with learnerships and therefore no further updates were made to the Report 191 programmes.

The National Certificate (Vocational) [NC(V)] qualification programmes were introduced in 2007 with the intention to replace the Report 191 programmes. However, two years after the phase-out of the NATED programmes, I re-introduced the Report 191 programmes due to numerous requests from business and industry.

2 (a) Since the reintroduction of the Report 191 programmes, quality assurance for N1–N3 programmes have remained in the domain of the quality council, Umalusi. Quality assurance for the N4–N6 programmes have been allocated to the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) through the Skills Development Act.

To date, the examinations unit has developed a number of content frameworks to support the assessment of these qualification programmes as they had very limited curriculum statements.

The Department is at present developing a comprehensive foundational programme with the intention to replace the N1–N3 programmes.

In addition, QCTO has undertaken significant work around the N4–N6 qualification programmes and have started to revise the content of a few subjects by systematically reworking the qualification programmes to be occupational qualification programmes. Occupational programmes by definition in the Skills Development Act are qualifications with a compulsory theoretical, practical and workplace component.

QCTO aims to have all business studies programmes revised by July 2017 with the engineering programmes following there after.

(b) Consultation with industry is firmly embedded within the QCTO methodology of qualification development, including consultative sessions and the publication of new qualifications for comment before registration.

1. The revitalization of the industrial parks was informed by a scoping exercise in 2015 which was followed by a detailed assessment conducted in 2016. Further the dti facilitated a symposium involving all the industrial parks as well as the local councils and provincial representatives. The purpose of the symposium was to strengthen collaboration across all stakeholders including development of future funding models for the sustainability of the Industrial parks. Standard operating procedures for the industrial parks are being developed which will detail amongst other things funding models including the implementation of concessions and rebates. In addition, the development of an investor handbook is underway to be completed by March 2018.

2. An implementation plan was drawn up outlining a phased approach to be followed in revitalizing the industrial parks. This included prioritizing the critical infrastructure needs of the various industrial parks. The first and second phases provide for security and bulk infrastructure upgrades whilst the last two phases will address the investor specific infrastructure needs including top structure upgrades and strengthening the management capacity in the industrial parks. In addition, the dti is supporting the firms located in the industrial parks through the cluster development programme to enhance their competitiveness.

The assessments they underwent were voluntary processes to establish baseline information. The programme will offer teachers an opportunity to participate in another assessment towards the end of 2017 to assess what progress was made.

There is no capped budgetary allocation for individual military residential upgrades. Budgetary allocations wrt building and maintenance are centralised and, therefore, all repairs and day-to-day maintenance are done on request. This also includes emergency repairs. The house of Col Mongo, the Officer Commanding of the Unit is repaired as need arises. Depending on the condition of a house, where breakages and wear and tear takes place, houses are repaired. The following repairs were done in the official residence of the OC:

(a) 2012 Lifting of old floor covering and replacing with Novillon.

2012 Fitting of blinds to windows

2013 Renovation of bathroom and toilet.

2014 Paving

2015 Replacement of gutters.

2015 Replacement of burst geyser.

2015 Painting of the exterior (unit purchased paint and only labour was outsourced as the house is a double storey).

2016 Roof leaks repaired.

(b) The house needs much attention but since funds are not available, repairs are done in relation to wear and tear, OHS matters, etc. Paving was done as the house is surrounded by big trees from the neighbours causing permanent shade that kills the grass.

The SABC is currently busy with the implementation of the performance management system to be implemented later in the year hence, no performance review on Mr Motsoeneng or any other employee of the SABC has been conducted. The quarterly review system is, however, done by individual line managers and in this case Mr Motsoeneng has not been in this (new) position for the period of 3 months.

SABC Current Affairs are operating normally and efficiently and there is no need for a review.

2. The disclosure of employee remuneration is against employee regulations. Further information about SABC employees’ remuneration may be obtained from the Annual Report which has been tabled in Parliament.
