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.

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.

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

https://pmg.org.za/files/RNW2548Table.docx

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 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. 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 adequate alternative accommodation for a new police station.

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.

Yes, the Single Transport Economic Regulator project will be part of the 2017/18 and onwards of the Department’s Strategic and Annual Performance Plans. The Department plans to present a Bill (draft legislation framework) to Cabinet to solicit gazetting approval for 60 days public consultation by end of financial year of 2016/17. Thereafter, inputs from the public will be consolidated and a revised Bill will be taken back to Cabinet for approval during 2017/18 financial year. The next step will be to table the Bill in Parliament by end of 2017/18 financial year. Upon promulgation of the Bill to a legislation, the Transport Economic Regulator establishment will commence.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

The Department has over the last three financial years received an unqualified audit opinion with a number of emphasis’ of matter. For the 2013/14 financial year the Department emphasis of matter related to:

• Material underspending of R75.4 million (85%) within Programme 3 in respect of Programme Implementation; and
• Material underspending of R25 million (19%) on the Rural Household Infrastructure Grant.
• The department only transferred R106.7 million of the Rural Household Infrastructure Grant in March 2014. A significant portion of this grant was unspent as of 31 March 2014.

For the 2014/15 financial year the Department materially underspent by R49.8 million (29.5%) still within Programme 3: Programme Delivery Support and related to the National Upgrading Support Programme.

For the 2015/16 financial year the Department again received an unqualified audit opinion with an emphasis of matter on material underspending of R45.8 million (27.5%) within Programme 3: Human Settlements Delivery Support which was also related to the National Upgrading Support Programme.

It is important to indicate that the Rural Household Infrastructure Grant was a programme transferred from the then Department of Water Affairs to the Department of Human Settlements during the 2010/11 financial year. The grant funded household infrastructure for provision of sanitation in rural areas for on-site water and sanitation solutions. For the 2013/14 financial the grant was split into an indirect and a direct grant.

As an indirect grant the Department had to appoint service providers. For the 2013/14 financial year the contractors only submitted invoices for work performed at the end of the financial year which were paid for. The appointed contractors could not finalise the implementation of programme on time due to rock formations that delayed work in the affected municipal areas.

The grant and the sanitation function was however transferred back to the newly created Department of Water and Sanitation during the 2014/15 financial year, the controls that were put in place could not be implemented due to the transfer.

The National Upgrading Support Programme is a departmental programme that provides technical assistance to municipalities to develop upgrading strategies, categorize informal settlements and is one of the largest cost drivers within Programme 3 and the biggest contributor to the underspending in the 2015/16 financial year. The National Upgrading Support Programme promotes improved human settlements outcomes in informal settlements through the progressive implementation of the programme in 53 municipalities per year. One of the reasons for under performance was the late approval of plans by municipalities.

Measures taken to ensure that underspending within programme 3 does not recur:

• An implementation plan detailing the methodology in monitoring the performance of the programme in terms of orders issued and progress on work performed has been developed by the Department. The project managers appointed have been put into place to manage the project implementation plans.
• Additional capacity has been appointed to assist with the implementation of the programme.
• This will allow detection of risks on time to assist and timely intervention.
• Monthly progress reports are prepared to update management structures.

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.

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.

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.

1. During the 2015/16 financial year, 2 369 persons who were charged with a variety of criminal offences, were referred for psychiatric evaluation by the courts, according to the records held at the Department of Health in this regard.

2. Yes. There appears to be a very small increase in the number of persons (namely 4 more persons) that were charged and referred for psychiatric evaluation in the 2015/16 financial year compared to the previous 2014/15 financial year, where 2 365 persons were referred for psychiatric evaluation, according to the records held at the Department of Health in this regard. The number of persons that are charged and referred for psychiatric evaluation by the courts may differ from year to year as it is dependent on the assessments made by the courts as to whether there is a need for such referral for psychiatric evaluation.

(a) Yes. The purpose of the meeting was to reflect on a rapidly unfolding degenerating situation at institutions of higher learning as a direct result of the violence that had erupted during the protestation against the high cost of accessing higher education and the call for free education under the umbrella of the “Fees must fall” campaign. It was deemed prudent to return the appropriate State intervention to stabilise the situation as busses were burning, shops were being looted, streets were barricaded, buildings and vehicles were being vandalised and harm was inflicted on persons.

(b) No. The President had been apprised of the impending prosecution days before this meeting. It was hence not necessary to discuss the matter. The matter nevertheless had no bearing on the agenda of the meeting and was never raised nor discussed at all.

(c) It was an emergency meeting called by His Excellency, the Honourable President, who invited Ministers of the Justice, Crime, Prevention & Security Cluster. The President was leaving the country later that day. The location was most convenient, as most of the members of the executive who attended the meeting were already at the venue for other commitments. Due to the urgency of the situation the meeting thus took place at this venue.

Reply:

(a) Finalization rates’ relate to criminal investigations, which are not conducted by the AFU but by the DPCI (ACTT) and SAPS.

(b) I have been informed by the National Prosecuting Authority, that during the period under review, the Assets Forfeiture Unit (AFU) had undertaken to prioritize the finalization of a large number of freezing orders in terms of Chapter 5 of the Prevention of Organized Crime Act (POCA). The said cases were to be obtained from several complex high value cases that were being investigated by the Anti-Corruption Task Team (ACTT). As a result of the delays in the finalization of the several investigations at the ACTT, no freezing orders could be secured in respect of those specific cases, hence the decline in the freezing orders for the period.

I have further been informed that due to severe investigative capacity constraints, several freezing orders which were prioritized in terms of Chapter 6 of POCA, could not be finalized.

Number of case backlogs

The target on the number of backlog cases in the Lower courts falls within the ambit of DOJ&CD annual plan whilst the target on the backlog cases of the high courts were assigned to the OCJ. Since prosecutors have an important role to play in the speedy finalisation of cases, the number of backlog cases is still monitored and measured within the lower level annual plans.

The high courts managed a reduction of 12% but an increase is noted in both lower court forums.

The overall progress is indicated below:

Table21: Progress on case backlogs

FORUM	2014/15	% of National	2015/16	% of National	Progress
HIGH COURT	216	0,8%	190	0,7%	-12,0%
REGIONAL COURT	14 106	52,5%	14 485	48,9%	2,7%
DISTRICT COURT	12 572	46,7%	14 924	50,4%	18,7%
ALL	26 894	100,0%	29 599	100,0%	10,1%

A corresponding increase of 7.9% is noted in the number of outstanding cases carried forward to the next financial year. However, notwithstanding the reduction in backlog cases the number of outstanding cases increased in the high courts. An increase of 11.6% is also noted in the district courts. The regional courts indicated a reduction in outstanding roll.

Case backlogs and backlog project

The Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster (JCPS) departments have introduced various interventions to deal with the case backlogs. In this regard a specific Case Backlog Reduction Project was implemented in November 2006 with the regional courts as the main focus area. Backlog cases are viewed as all those cases longer than 6 months on the district court roll, 9 months on the regional court roll and 12 months on the High Court roll. The Case Backlog Reduction Project assists regional and district court centres in identified priority areas country-wide that require focused attention. The project’s aim is to ensure that the inflow of new cases is balanced by the number of matters concluded and that matters are finalised more speedily.

This intervention led to the establishment of more than 50 additional regional backlog courts, through the appointment of additional regional court magistrates, clerks, prosecutors, interpreters and legal aid lawyers on contract. The number has fluctuated since then as courts were closed or shifted to other areas once the backlog was dealt with. After an investigation into the performance of the district courts, several high priority district backlog courts were also established since April 2010 and these courts have made a tremendous contribution to the overall success of the project.

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has consequently converted some backlog courts to permanent courts. The remaining courts will continue until they are converted, closed or shifted to another area.

During 2015/16, there were 27 approved regional and 25 district backlog courts. The district backlog courts excelled during 2015/16 by finalising a total of 14 711 cases comprising 10 525 verdict cases with a conviction rate of 95.3% and 4 186 ADRM cases. This represents a finalisation rate of 3.8 cases per court, per day. The regional backlog courts finalised a total of 2 421 cases comprising 2 363 verdict cases with a conviction rate of 75.2% and 58 ADRM cases. This represents a finalisation rate of 0.6 cases per court, per day.

The increase number of trials finalised in the high court had a positive impact on the reduction of percentage backlog cases, from 26.4% during 2014/15 to 21.3% in 2015/16.

1. The National Prosecuting Authority has informed me that the detailed reasons for court hours declining by 7%, are as follows: The NPA had indicated in the Annual Report that an analysis of the court time spent on criminal matters in court, was conducted. More court days are being utilised as shown by the increase of 3.5%. However, the efficient use of those increased days is not reflected in the actual court hours used for criminal cases, which impedes all attempts to ensure speedy justice. The average court hours fell by 7.0% from an average of 3h31 maintained during 2014/15 to 3h16 during 2015/16. A total of 32 863:49 hours were lost compared to the previous reporting period.

Table 4: Progress on criminal court hours

HIGH COURT	03:04	25798:15	02:48	26976:20	-8,7%
REGIONAL COURT	03:38	260785:48	03:26	254333:54	-5,2%

Unfortunately, the NPA does not record the reasons for loss of court hours and it does not reflect all court hours as only criminal court hours are recorded. The judiciary are keeping record of the hours as well as the reasons for loss of hours and these are discussed at case flow management meetings where problems in this regard are being addressed.

2) In the Annual Report, the NPA indicated that the effective performance of the NPA is directly linked to the effective performance of the other role players within the criminal justice system. Ensuring that cases proceed when they are set down for trial remains a primary challenge that the system has not adequately addressed. The implementation of pre-trial hearings identified by the NPA, Legal Aid South Africa and the Office of the Chief Justice as one of the solutions to prevent remands of trial ready cases has been slow in gaining traction, particularly in the lower courts. This has been compounded by the placing of too few trial cases on the court rolls, resulting in wasted court hours. The norms and standards issued by the Chief Justice have not yet led to increased court hours. Inadequacies of role-players in the system remain a concern as they impact on the finalisation of case. However, these are monitored and reported at the Provincial Efficiency Enhancement Committee (PEEC) meetings, which are chaired by the Judges President of every province.

3) This is partly answered by the paragraphs under answer (2) above, particularly with regard to the need for pre-trial hearings and the placing of sufficient trial cases on the court rolls.

(1)(a) The National Prosecuting Authority calculates its general conviction rates and crime specific conviction rates on the basis of verdict cases. (b) It is calculated in terms of the percentage of cases finalised with a verdict in which a guilty verdict was obtained.

The percentage is determined by taking the cases finalised with a guilty verdict (including Section 57A of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977) divided by the total number of cases finalised with a verdict. In the case of convictions these are only measured at the date of sentencing, while in the case of not-guilty verdicts these cases will be counted on the date of such verdict (i.e. only finalised cases are measured).

The reply to question 2 (a) on the total number of cases that (i) were withdrawn in each region in the specified financial year and (ii) were re-enrolled in the 2016/17 financial year and (b) what are the relevant details in each case, are explained below.

The table below sets out the number of cases withdrawn per region, per forum. The figures show the Serious Commercial Crimes Unit (SCCU) cases separately from the other regional courts. I am further informed that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) does not keep details of re-enrolments (these are new court cases) and is unable to supply the details of each case.

2a.(ii) Yes. This was effected in accordance with the Foreign Service dispensation as determined by the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA).

2(aa). CHF 5 229..42 (once off)

2(bb). As above

2b. There was no need to procure new office furniture for the new Attaché. The furniture currently being used by the new attaché is the same used by the previous Attaché. There are therefore no costs associated with the matter.

Regarding the Organised crime

The organised crime statistics reflected relate to those cases within the ambit of the Organised Crime component. The NPA does not intend to measure the crime but rather the effectiveness and performance of the components dealing with the more serious and complicated cases of organised crime. The focus of this component includes:

• Bank robberies, cash-in-transit heists, car and truck hijacking; business robberies, syndicate house robberies and ATM attacks;
• Trafficking in Precious Metals, and Diamonds;
• Non- Ferrous metals; (SEC 3 OF ACT 18 OF 2015 - Offence relating to essential infrastructure)
• Endangered species;
• Drug trafficking;
• Human Trafficking;
• Gang related matters under POCA;
• Racketeering and money laundering offences;
• Any other investigations referred to OCIU by SAPS management

Regarding the House Robberies

Investigations on house robberies, similar to most other serious crimes, take some time to finalise and then also take quite a substantial time to be finalised once the trial has started. On average, these cases last between 12 to 24 months to be finalised. If there is an increase of these cases during the 2016/17 financial year, this will only reflect from the following year in the court performance data. NPA performance on house robberies finalised during 2015/16 was in line with the trend by the SAPS as reflected during their 2014/15 financial year, which has in fact shown a decline for the previous three successive years. The following is an extract from the SAPS Annual Report information for 2014/15:
