Bagraim, Mr M to ask the Minister of Police

Whether any measures are being implemented to ensure that the turnaround time for police vehicle repairs at SA Police Service garages in Gauteng is kept to a reasonable minimum so that the lack of operational vehicles does not hinder crime prevention and service delivery in the specified province; if not, why not; if so, what are the full relevant details?

Reply:

Performance benchmarks were implemented at all South African Police Service (SAPS) Garages to ensure appropriate turnaround times for SAPS vehicle repairs, thereby ensuring that adequate vehicles are available for operational deployment at all police stations/units. The following criteria are included in the performance benchmarks and are followed up on a continuous basis to address any deviations:

● The opening and closure of job cards (performance) per garage within specific time frames for the various types of services and repairs;

● The production of individual artisans and garages as well as production for all garages within the province as per the set standard; and

● The availability of vehicles per police station/unit, per province and nationally as per the set standard.

America, Mr D to ask the Minister of Police

What steps is the SA Police Service taking to address (a) understaffing, (b) inadequate building maintenance, (c) dilapidated fencing, (d) inadequate external signage, (e) sub-standard detention cells, (f) overcrowding in offices, (g) inadequate toilet facilities, (h) inadequate lighting and (i) insufficient vehicles at the Putfontein Police Station in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality?

Reply:

(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f)(g)(h) The workforce analysis for the Putfontein Police Station is depicted below see the link:

http://pmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/RNW2550Table.pdf

The following posts were identified as critical vacancies:

1 x Sub Section Commander: Human Resource Management (Salary level 8).

1 x Principal Personnel Officer (Salary level 7).

The proposed promotion posts were requested from the South African Police Service (SAPS) Head Office as critical funded posts in terms of the allocated posts to the province.

During the 2016/2017 financial year, the Gauteng Province received an allocation of

1 320 entry-level Police Act employees. This allocation was scientifically distributed and approved by the Provincial Commissioner, to all 142 stations within Gauteng, by utilising the following criteria:

  • A gap analysis was conducted, taking into consideration all Visible Policing and Detective Service members on salary levels 1-7, comparing the actual allocation with the Fixed Establishment.
  • The allocation of 1 320 entry level Police Act employees was distributed equally amongst all stations taking into consideration the shortages on levels 1-7 for Visible Policing and Detective members.
  • After the distribution, all stations with shortages were staffed equally at 78,15% on levels 1-7 (Visible Policing and Detectives).

The Gauteng Province receives an entry-level allocation every financial year, but unfortunately this allocation does not meet the human resource demands of the various business units in the province. Cluster Commanders are therefore advised to ensure the equal distribution of Human Resources within the cluster, taking into consideration the fixed establishment.

The Gauteng Province is currently busy with a project in terms of which police stations with a surplus of members within the Visible Policing environment have been instructed to identify and redeploy members to their Detective Service environment, where there is a general shortage of personnel. Furthermore, Police Stations are also instructed to redeploy experienced Visible Policing members to the Detective Service environment when they receive their new entry-level allocation.

The Putfontein Police Station is a leased facility. The owners have been engaged regarding the poor conditions of the Police Station as, in accordance with the lease agreement, it is their responsibility to ensure that the facility is properly maintained.

The need for an alternative Police Station was included in the Provincial User Asset Management Plan (UAMP) for the 2017/2018 financial year. The Divisional Commissioner: Supply Chain Management has been requested to source a proper alternative facility.

(i) Per the SAPS Asset Register, the Putfontein Police Station had a total of 16 vehicles on 6 November 2016. The distribution of vehicles is as follows:

Breytenbach, Adv G to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

Whether he has taken any action against any employee of the National Prosecuting Authority for persisting in prosecuting a certain person (name furnished) despite the fact that the State was allegedly aware that it could not prove prejudice in the specified prosecution; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

It must be noted that the accused application for a discharge in terms of section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Act was refused. In other words the court found that the state had published a case that the accused had to answer. The National Director of Public Prosecutors (NDPP) convened a meeting where the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) South Gauteng, Advocate Andrew Chauke was requested to submit a report on various allegations relating to the prosecution of the case. At the conclusion of that meeting, it was decided that the DPP would obtain the transcript of the court proceedings for him to further address the matter with the prosecutor and his supervisor.

The DPP further reported to the NDPP that he perused the transcript of the proceedings and subsequently addressed the shortcomings of the prosecutor and pointed out to him the resultant adverse effects on the case due to him not communicating the developments in court to his supervisor.

(1)(a) What are the names of each former provincial head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) since he assumed office, (b) on which dates was each specified person (i) appointed and (ii) replaced, (c) what was the status of each person’s employment contract at the time of their replacement and (d) on what statutory grounds did he replace the persons who were still serving within their minimum seven-year terms; (2) whether he obtained the concurrence of the Minister of Finance, Mr P J Gordhan, on the remuneration of the new provincial heads of the DPCI in accordance with section 17CA (8)(b) of the SA Police Service Act, Act 68 of 1995, as amended; if not, why not; if so, was the concurrence of the Minister of Finance obtained in writing in each case?

Reply:

1. Provincial heads of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) were appointed for the first time by the Minister of Police in accordance with section 17CA(6) of the South African Police Services Act 68 of 1995 (“SAPS Act”) in 2016. There are no former provincial heads that were appointed in terms of section 17CA(6) before the appointments were made in 2016.

2. The Minister of Finance, Mr P J Gordhan is a member of the Cabinet. It follows that the appointments and remuneration of the provincial heads of the DPCI were presented before the Cabinet for concurrence. Cabinet Memorandum, which included the remuneration scale of the provincial heads was distributed to all Cabinet Ministers and no objection was received from the Minister of Finance on the remuneration scales. The Cabinet (with the Minister of Finance included) concurred with the appointments and the remuneration scales of the provincial heads.

It must be noted that the South African Police Services Act 68 of 1995 (SAPS Act), as amended, does not prescribe how concurrence should be obtained and there is no provision in the Act that requires concurrence of the Minister of Finance to be writing in each case.

Baker, Ms TE to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation

(1)What (a) is the current status of the Ermelo Waste Water Treatment Plant in Mpumalanga and (b) are the results of the water quality tests of the treated effluent in each month since 1 January 2016; (2) whether the specified plant complies with the standards for effluent discharge as regulated by her department; if not, what action has she taken to rectify the situation; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

(1)(a) The Ermelo Wastewater Treatment Plant is currently receiving 12-16 Ml/day and is designed to handle 10 Ml/day. Overall, the infrastructure of the plant is in a bad condition and this has compromised the sewage treatment process to the extent that substandard effluent is being discharged.

(b) The Green Drop System, which the Department utilizes to monitor compliance levels of wastewater treatment works in the country, shows that the level of compliance for the plant from 01 January 2016 to September 2016 is zero for micro, physical and chemical parameters specific for wastewater effluent.

(2) The effluent from the plant does not comply with the general standard. The Department had meetings with the municipality, inspections were conducted and correspondence was also sent to the municipality. Due to the lack of response from the municipality, a task team (comprising DWS, the Departments of Human Settlements, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Economic Development, Environment and Tourism as well as the District and Local Municipalities) was then established to address the concerns related to the plant.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Small Business Development

(1)Whether, during the period 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2015, the Government has succeeded in substantially rejuvenating township economies in all nine provinces, allowing for a sizeable percentage of township residents to find rewarding and sustainable economic opportunities and employment for themselves as entrepreneurs and workers within the township economies; if not, why not; if so, what (a) are the details concerning the (i) size, (ii) extent and (iii) value of such township economies and (b) is the number of new job opportunities township economies have created in each specified year; (2) whether she will (a) list the 20 most progressive, vibrant and dynamic township economies in South Africa and (b) give an indication of their contribution to the GDP?

Reply:

1. The department of small business development was proclaimed in July 2014 and currently does not have this information. Since this is a critical sector of the economy the department has prioritized the development of an Integrated Strategy and Implementation Plan on Township and Rural Enterprise Development. Amongst other things this strategy will assist with the following:

  • A detailed analysis of the existing strategies and frameworks on township and rural enterprise development
  • A detailed analysis of the programmes that are being implemented by different government departments and agencies on township and rural enterprise development
  • Design of most appropriate programmes or other support interventions to ensure the optimal development of small enteprises and co-operatives in townships and rural areas

The department is confident that this study which is going to be done in 2016/17 financial year in partnership with the departments that fall under the Economic Sectors, Employment and Infrastructure Development (ESEID) Cluster will address some of the questions that have been asked in this question.

2. 

(a) Noting that there are insufficient and nonstandardised measurements of what consists the totality of a township economy relative to a regional, provincial, national and global economies, it is not yet possible to rank the performance and responsiveness of townships’ economies.

(b) Consequently, save for a framework that defines the nature and structure of township economies as well as the data sources for measuring it, thus far, reliable methods by means of which the monetary value of the goods and services produced within townships have not been isolated and represented during any specific time.

Whether (a) he and/or (b) the SA Police Service (SAPS) has taken any steps to address the (i) understaffing and (ii) underresourcing of the Akasia Police Station in the City of Tshwane; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether the SAPS is aware of the need for a new police station in Ward 4 of the specified metropolitan municipality; if not, why not; if so, (3) has the need for the specified new police station been investigated; if not, (a) why not and (b) will the SAPS launch an investigation in this regard; if so, (i) what were the findings and (ii) on what date will the new police station be built?

Reply:

(1) (a) (b) (i) (ii) The workforce analysis for the Akasia Police Station is depicted in the link below:

The management of the Akasia Police Station redeployed two members from Visible Policing to the Detective Service.

2. No, SAPS is not aware of the need for a new police station in Ward 4 of the specified metropolitan municipality. To date no request was received for the possible establishment of an additional service point in the Akasia policing area.

(3)(a)(b)(i)(ii) The Akasia Police Station is a leased facility.

Robertson, Mr K to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

Whether any contracts have been awarded to any service provider for the (a) maintenance of and/or (b) upgrades to the (i) Mapulaneng and (ii) Matsulu Technical and Vocational Education and Training colleges in the Bushbuckridge and Mbombela Local Municipalities in Mpumalanga (aa) in the (aaa) 2013-14, (bbb) 2014-15 and (ccc) 2015-16 financial years and (bb) since 1 April 2016; if not, in each case, why not; if so, what are the full relevant details of each contract awarded in each case?

Reply:

The Ehlanzeni Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) College is responsible for the Mapulaneng Campus in the Bushbuckridge Local Municipality. Since late 2013, the college has not awarded contracts to any service provider as campus upgrades and maintenance are undertaken by its skilled college staff and students as part of their practical training. The college is a technical training institution, which strives to provide theoretical and practical training for students by maintaining and upgrading its facilities to save costs and maximise the use of its allocated budget.

The college took transfer of the Matsulu Technical and Vocational Education and Training Centre during 2015. On taking occupation, it was established that the drainage pipes at the Centre were blocked and a contractor was appointed, after obtaining 3 quotations, to unblock the drainage pipes. No subsequent contracts have been awarded to service providers at this centre.

Masango, Ms B to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

Whether he is aware of any instances where cases before Children’s Courts were not able to be heard due to the social worker’s failure to comply with the placing of an advertisement in a local newspaper circulating in the area where the abandoned and/or orphaned child was found, in line with Regulation 56 of Regulation R261 of 1 April 2010 of the Children’s Act, Act 38 of 2005, as amended; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

No, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has not been informed of instances where cases before children’s courts could not proceed due to the social worker’s failure to comply with Regulation 56 of Regulation R261 of 1 April 2010 of the Children’s Act, Act 38 of 2005, as amended. It will therefore be appreciated if the details of these cases could be released to the Department to investigate this matter within the parameters of the Department’s mandate.

The Department further notes that Department of Social Development might be in a better position to respond to this matter since the responsibility to place advertisements in a local newspaper circulating in the area where the abandoned and/or orphaned child was found resides with them.

Reply:

(1)(a)(i) The investigation into Pretoria Central CAS 1277/09/2016 has been concluded and the case docket was handed in at the office of the Senior Public Prosecutor at the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court for decision on 14 November 2016. The decision on prosecution is awaited.

(1)(a)(ii) The investigation into Pretoria Central CAS 1344/09/2016 has not yet been concluded. The suspect must still be interviewed and a warning statement obtained. Some witnesses still need to be interviewed and their statements obtained.

(1)(b) The charge in both cases is Assault Common.

(2) No suspects were arrested on any of the two cases as the Criminal Procedure Act, 1997 (Act No. 51 of 1997), does not make provision for a member of the South African Police Service to arrest a suspect on a charge of Assault Common unless the crime was committed in his/her presence.

(3)(a)(i & ii) The suspect in Pretoria Central CAS 1277/09/2016 was interviewed on 20 October 2016 and his warning statement obtained.

The suspect in Pretoria Central CAS 1344/09/2016 has not yet been interviewed. As soon as all the witness statements have been obtained, the suspect will be interviewed and the warning statement obtained. The case docket will then be forwarded to the Senior Public Prosecutor for a decision.

(3)(b)(i & ii) Three witnesses were interviewed in Pretoria Central CAS 1277/09/2016.

Whether he has taken any action against any employee of the National Prosecuting Authority for persisting in prosecuting a certain person (name furnished) despite the fact that the State was allegedly aware that it could not prove prejudice in the specified prosecution; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

Notwithstanding the fact that there is no provision in the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) Act for the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services to take any action against prosecutors for exercising prosecutorial functions according to the Prosecution Directives and Guidelines, the following outline serves as background for the Minister in relation to this matter.

As such, there was no reason for any action to be taken against the prosecutors in the normal course of exercising their duties. Section 42 of the NPA Act further excludes liability where the prosecutorial decision was taken in good faith.

What programmes or initiatives has her department put in place to educate rural and poor communities about the importance of energy efficiency?

Reply:

To educate the public about the importance of energy efficiency, the Department developed and launched the Energy Efficiency Campaign Strategy during the United Nations Convention on Climate Change’s 17th Conference of Parties (COP 17) held in Durban in 2011. In addition, on 13 March 2015, the President of South Africa launched the Presidency and Government energy savings campaign highlighting various initiatives the government will implement to promote energy savings, and these include the green building policy framework, minimum energy performance standards and labeling of energy efficiency appliances, improvement of energy efficiency, and, importantly, the installation of solar panels and solar water heaters in buildings including in residential buildings in rural and poor communities.

Furthermore, on 17 May 2016, the Minister of Energy unveiled the South African Energy Efficiency Label, and also announced measures to be implemented in buildings as part of promoting energy savings. The SA Energy Efficiency Label has been designed to provide the South African consumers, including poor and rural communities, with accurate and comparable information that enables an informed purchase decisions when buying household appliances. The advantage to consumers, especially poor and rural communities, is that they have an opportunity to play an active role both in achieving savings on electricity consumption and in making a meaningful contribution to the effort on reducing carbon emissions.

Some of the energy savings measures being implemented by the Department include the installation of smart metering and clean energy technologies in schools and government buildings, deployment of co-generation in municipal waste water treatment facilities, and the installation of energy efficient technologies related to municipal infrastructure. It should also be noted that the Ministry of Energy has been conducting outreach programmes to poor and rural communities as part of the energy savings campaign.

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works

(a) (i) The Department of Public Works (DPW) has a dedicated internal Unit to investigate reported allegations of fraud, corruption and serious maladministration within the Department. From the 2009/10 financial year to date the Unit has received 363 cases for investigation purposes. Of the total number of cases reported, 320 cases were finalised. 32 cases are currently at various stages of investigation.

(aa) (bb) (cc)

See attached Fraud Allegation Register from 2009/10-2016/17 Financial Years of the 320 completed cases.

(b) (i) External Forensic Investigations

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has conducted investigations in the DPW in terms of 5 Presidential proclamations – the oldest proclamation was published on 30 July 2010 and the most recent one was published on 20 July 2015. The SIU reports to the President, but they provide the DPW with findings from their investigation for the purpose of instituting corrective measures, including disciplinary action against any official where there is prima facie evidence of misconduct. Where SIU findings point to possible criminal activities, the SIU reports such evidence to the South Africa’s law enforcement agencies for further action. When the SIU finds that funds have been usurped they institute civil proceedings on behalf of the DPW to recover the lost funds. The DPW is notified of this action prior to it being taken. However, the SIU does not provide its full reports to the Department, as it reports to the State President.

The alleged crime was committed between 8 June 2016 and 19 June 2016 at 29 Low Street, Observatory, Cape Town and not in Malawi. There is therefore no need for the case docket to be sent to Malawi for investigation.

Did (a) her department and/or (b) any entity reporting to her conduct feasibility studies on Vuwani Airport in Limpopo, which is not in operation and remains a white elephant; if not, (i) why not and (ii) who is responsible for the maintenance of the specified airport?

Reply:

(a) The National Department of Transport has not conducted feasibility studies on Vuwani Airport in Limpopo.

(b) The Limpopo Department of Transport has conducted a pre-feasibility study for the Vuwani/P.R. Mphephu Airport during 2010. The study was part of the Limpopo Airlift Strategy, with the purpose of providing direction and guidance for the development of aviation in the province. Five generic strategies were identified in determining the status of each of the airports considered at the time, as follows:

1. Grounded: Nothing should be done as there is no, or very little potential, now or in the future, for aviation development.

2. Delayed: The development of aviation will only take place in the long term and is awaiting other matters to be put in place.

3. Boarding: There is some market potential, which should be left to the market to action and develop.

4. Take-off: There is good market potential which would be picked up by the market with minimum intervention.

5. Catapulted Take-off: There is market potential, but the development of aviation will only take place with significant intervention from government.

The Vuwani/P.R Mphephu Airport fell within the third category. The Limpopo Department of Transport decided to wait a few years so that further analysis could be done on the Vuwani/P.R Mphephu Airport as well as the other public airports within the province. Such analysis will consider developments that are taking place at, amongst others, Lephalale, Musina and its SEZ status, and the Tubatse area.

The Limpopo Department of Transport is currently collaborating with the Department of Public Enterprises in determining if some of these airports can be re-commissioned and the extent of improvements that are required to enable re-commissioning.  The Limpopo Aviation Technical Stream has been established and various meetings have already been held. The Province is currently developing the Terms of References for the viability assessment, which should be conducted no later than the 2017/2018 financial year. This will provide an indication if P.R. Mphephu Airport will be viable and the costs associated with its re-commissioning, should the indication be positive. Other options will be explored depending on the outcome of the viability study.

(b) (i) N/A

(ii) The airport is an asset of the Limpopo Department of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, although the buildings are utilised by the Limpopo Department of Transport. The Limpopo Department of Transport has not allocated any maintenance budget pending the outcome of the viability study.

Why was a certain person (name furnished) appointed as the Chairperson of the Governing Body of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) for a period of five years as opposed to a three year period as prescribed by section 116 of the Labour Relations Act, Act 66 of 1995, as amended; (2) Did the National Economic Development and Labour Council nominate the specified person for the specified position; if not, why was the specified person appointed without compliance with the specified Act; if so; (3) Will she furnish Mr IM Ollis with a copy of the mandate?

Reply:

1. The appointment of the Chairperson of the Governing Body of the CCMA for a period of five years was done in error, and the matter was reported by the Department to the Portfolio Committee. The Department is aware that section 116 of the Labour Relations Act specifies a three year appointment period and steps have been taken to rectify the situation so as to bring the period of appointment in line with the Act.

2. The National Economic Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC) did nominate two candidates for the position of Chairperson of the CCMA Governing Body and requested the Minister to consider the nominees. This was done in writing by the Executive Director of NEDLAC in August 2013.

Dudley, Ms C to ask the MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION:

(1) Why did the representative of South Africa to the United Nations vote in favour of the resolution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation on 12 October 2016; (2) What informed the Government’s decision to vote in favour of the resolution, considering the implications regarding other religious connections to Jerusalem as a holy site? NW2892E

Reply:

1. South Africa voted in favour of the resolution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation on Occupied Palestine on 13 October 2016, in view of South Africa’s support for the longstanding right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the achievement of their legitimate national aspirations that include freedom, independence, justice, peace and dignity in an independent Palestinian State. South Africa is also committed to the two State solution that is an essential part of achieving peace in the entire Middle East through the establishment of a free and sovereign Palestinian State co-existing side-by-side in peace and security with the State of Israel, based on the 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

2. This resolution has no implications regarding other religious connections to Jerusalem as a holy site in that it affirms the importance of the old city of Jerusalem and its Walls for the three monotheistic religions. It seeks to safeguard the cultural heritage of Palestine and the distinctive character of East Jerusalem, in view of the persistent, systematic destruction of this heritage through numerous activities. It calls for an immediate end to these activities and for Israel to honour its obligations under UNESCO conventions, resolutions and decisions.

Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

What is the timeline for the move of his department’s office in Boksburg, Gauteng, to a different location following recent serious flood damage?

Reply:

The heavy flooding that occurred in the Gauteng Province in early November 2016 did not affect operations materially and the Boksburg office is open and functioning. The damage that occurred in May 2016 in the Boksburg office was caused by a burst water hydrant outside in the street over a weekend and not stormy weather. This caused severe damage to office equipment and furniture which had to be replaced.

However, the lease for the Boksburg office is expiring on 30 April 2017. The Department requested the Department of Public Works to find alternative accommodation as the current office accommodation no longer meets the needs of the Department.

Reply:

1.  With reference to her reply to oral question 117 on 24 August 2016, (a) why was the Ministerial Task Team provided with an extension of six months to continue with the forensic investigation of cases reported during the finalisation of the report and (b) have the specified forensic investigations been completed at the end of August?

(a) The Report of the Ministerial Task Team (MTT) indicated that there were 22 cases that still needed to be finalised. In addition to these cases, there were some additional cases that were received while the MTT was busy finalising the report. This necessitated that an extension of six (6) months be granted to the MTT Forensic Team in order to allow them to complete all the investigations and prepare a final forensic report.

(b) The Chairperson of the MTT, Prof J Volmink, has established that due to the mammoth task faced by the forensic team and the complexity of the investigation, it was not possible for this team to finalise its work by the end of August 2016 as was initially anticipated.

The Chairperson requested a further one month extension until 30 September 2016, to allow finalisation of all the cases at hand, as well as the consolidation of the Final Forensic Report. The request is being processed for the Minister’s consideration.

(2) Whether the specified forensic investigation was initially undertaken by Deloitte and Touche SA and now undertaken by the Department of Justice and Correctional Services; if so, why was the decision taken to transfer the forensic investigation from the company to the department?

The Ministerial Task Team comprised of the Chairperson, Prof J Volmink, Independent Educationist, Mr M Gardiner, members from the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA); Department of Justice and Correctional Services (DoJ & CS) and Deloitte and Touché SA.

The service of forensic investigation was not transferred. The DoJ & CS and Deloitte worked very closely as members of the MTT. The services of the forensic team from the DoJ & CS have been rendered pro bono, except for the payment of the subsistence and travelling allowances as and when required.

When the extension was granted, it made financial sense to use the human resources from a Government Department to complete the work they have started, as members of the MTT, rather than to enter into a new financially binding contract for another six (6) months.

(3) (a) What amount has been budgeted for the forensic investigation and (b) what is the breakdown of the budget?

(3)(a & b) The breakdown for the forensic investigation is as follows:

Deloitte contract amounted to: R 951 946

Subsistence and Travelling for DoJ & CS R 212 492

Total R 1 164 438

(4) Whether she will make the report, that will be handed over to her at the end of August 2016, available to the public; if not, why not; if so, on what date will she make the specified report available to the public?

(4) The Report of the MTT will be made available to the public after the Minister has received and analysed the Forensic Report.

(5) (a) When was the deadline for provincial departments of education to take action on the identified cases and provide progress reports to her, (b) which of the specified provincial departments have provided her with progress reports and (c) when will the specified progress reports be made available to the public?

(5) (a) The affected Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) were given a period of three (3) months from the 16 August 2016 to complete their work.

(b) None. The PED’s will submit the final report by end of November 2016.

(c) The Minister will determine, after considering the Provincial progress report, whether to make it available to the public.

Whether, with reference to the report of the Ministerial Task Team to Investigate Allegations into the Selling of Posts of Educators by Members of Teacher Unions and Departmental Officials in the Provincial Education Departments, implicated educators (a) Ms. KZN-10, (b) Mr. KZN-11, (c) Ms. KZN-17, (d) Ms. KZN-18, (e) Dr. KZN-21, (f) Mr. KZN-20, (g) Mr. GAU-1, (h) Mr. GAU-3, (i) Mrs. GAU-4 and/or (j) Mr. KZN-7 have been suspended pending the outcome of forensic and/or police investigations; if not, why not; if so, on which date was each of the specified educators suspended?

Reply:

No one has been suspended pending any investigation. Provincial Education Departments have indicated that there was no need to take such steps. “Precautionary suspension” is an interim measure imposed, not as a disciplinary sanction, but for reasons of orderly administration. The employer must have valid and fair reason for imposing a precautionary suspension or transfer against an educator.

In the case of serious misconduct in terms of Section 17 of the Employment of Educators Act, the employer may suspend the educator on full pay for a maximum period of three (3) months. In the case of misconduct in terms of Section 18 of the same Act, the employer may also suspend an educator in accordance with the procedure contemplated in item 6 (1) of Schedule 2 of the Act or transfer the educator to another post if the employer believes that the presence of the educator may jeopardise any investigation into the alleged misconduct, or endanger the well-being or safety of any person at the work-place.

Mulaudzi, Adv TE to ask the Minister of Transport

In light of the unsuccessful implementation of the e-tolling of freeways in the Gauteng Province, what measures is she putting in place to ensure that the Government cancels e-tolling and seeks other means to fund the cost?

Reply:

There is no decision to cancel e-tolling which is part of the User Pay Policy.

It must be noted that the Department will continue implementing the current policy, the “User Pay” which is also a norm in the whole world and will proceed with exploring other infrastructure financing models that would alleviate pressure on the fiscus, but get good level of service of all categories of our road network.

It is not true that the e-tolling of the GFIP is unsuccessful in its implementation, we need to address the issue of civil disobedience and allow law enforcement agencies to play their part.
