No person of the Nelson Mandela Museum in Qunu spent the accrued interest on the R15 million that was allocated for capital works at the specified museum.

The museum requested approval from The Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) to utilize the accrued interest of R2 470 757.86 for relocation and installation of the CCTV cameras in Bhunga building.

The breakdown of the R2 470 757.86 is as follows:

Rental of storage for artefacts R 414 458.86

Transportation of artefacts R 337 350.60

Relocation from Qunu to Bhunga R 218 948.40

Installation of CCTV cameras R1 500 000.00

Total R2 470 757.86

(2). No consequence management action was taken because the DAC granted the museum approval to utilize the interest accrued for the relocation and installation of the CCTV cameras in Bhunga building.

(1)(a) The question requires a reply to address all the 1 142 police stations. This will be volumes of pages and is therefore responded by providing the provincial totals. The tables below provide a summarised exposé of the different questions and must be read with the previous reply to question 2163 which dealt with the total fixed establishment of police stations. The development and maintenance of the fixed establishment of the South African Police Service (SAPS) is informed and guided by Regulation 20 and 27 of the SAPS Employment Regulations, 2008 and is influenced by two primary variables:

- The approved organisational and post structures for police stations and clusters; and,

- the availability of funds in terms of the current budget and Medium Term Expenditure Framework.

The source that was used is the SAPS Fixed Establishment allocations for 2015/2016. The fixed establishment positions for police stations in each province in the 2015/2016 financial year and a summary of categories crimes investigated by the respective groups (attached as per annexure A) are tabulated as follows:

I have been informed by the South African Post Office (SAPO) as follows:

SAPO obtained a 3-year club loan from 5 local banks totalling R3.7 billion, which refinanced the previously existing loans totalling R1.0 billion. These loans are on common terms and conditions with interest rates of JIBAR plus between 2% and 2.5%. Details of exposures by bank, including specific terms and conditions such as pricing, are confidential. The loans are repayable on 14 July 2019.

The overdraft facility amounts to R270 million with no fixed termination date. This is not currently being utilised by SAPO.

(a) (i) Long- term loans= R3.7 billion

     (ii) Overdraft facilities= R270 million

(b) Names of institutions are confidential

(c) (i) The total amount is R3.7 billion

    (ii) Interest rate charged = interest rates of JIBAR plus between 2% and 2.5%

    (iii) The terms and conditions of each loan/ or overdraft facility is confidential. SAPO is bound by contractual obligations not to disclose more detailed information.

The Honourable Member might be aware that I have 26 entities reporting to me, therefore to collate information from the entities require time. I will submit that information to the Honourable member once it is available.

I have been informed by the South African Post Office (SAPO) as follows:

1. (a) The entities that levied penalties are the Payment Association of South Africa (PASA) and Telkom.

   (b) The total amount of penalties incurred was R1 million. The remaining R148 million of the R149 million in question relates to a provision for possible VAT liability.

  (c) The penalties were levied due to late payment by SAPO and this was due to constrained cash availability.

2. (a) and (b) No specified penalties and/or fines have been recovered because there is no basis for the recovery. The penalties were levied on amounts for which work was done for SAPO. In the case of PASA, the organisation regulates banking and card transactions on behalf of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). In the case of Telkom, the entity rendered telephony and data services to SAPO. In the case of provision for a possible VAT liability, SAPO has made the calculation based on a worst case scenario in terms of the VAT Act and it has requested the directive from the South African Revenue Services (SARS) to obtain certainty on the assumptions to be made in the calculations.

1. Yes, CCIFSA submitted a copy of its Memorandum of Incoparation (MoI) to the Department. (a) the copy was submitted on 18 March 2015. (b) The MoI was subsequently presented to the CCIFSA inaugural conference that was held from 23 – 24 March 2015 in Bloemfontein, which I also attended. Though the conference decided to proceed with the election of the current leadership, it resolved not to adopt the MoI but to allow the new leadership to conduct further consultations with other stakeholders especially those who did not have the opportunity to be part of the process leading to the conference. CCIFSA is in the process of finalising the revised MoI, taking into consideration the views which were

Yes, CCIFSA submitted annual financial statements for the (a) 2014 -15 and (b) 2015-16 financial years; (c) The 2014–15 finacial statements were presented to the Department on 15 July 2015 as part of the hand-over by the Interim Committee to the current leadership.

(a) At the heart of the appeal is the question of condonation of an unreasonable delay on the part of the City of Cape Town, as an organ of state and its failure to provide an explanation for its unreasonable delay in reviewing the decisions taken concerning the N1/N2 Project (the Project). There is no question that the City knew that the decisions had been taken at the time that they were taken, that SANRAL was acting in furtherance of those decisions, and that the City stood by and did nothing even though it knew of this. It offered no explanation for why it did nothing. The Project was more than a decade in the making. Monies have already been spent in implementing and carrying out certain works concerning the Project. The City, being well aware of the Project, delayed unreasonably in bringing its application – almost a decade later. The City has never disputed that it became aware of the SANRAL decisions to declare the roads as toll roads when they were published in 2008. The peremptory 180-day period referred to in section 7 of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, (PAJA), (Act 3 of 2000) expired during March 2009

The N1 / N2 Winelands Project was conceived to improve the link between the Western Cape and the rest of the country, and substantial time, effort and investment had been put into its development. The Winelands Toll Road Project is a strategic infrastructure project that is necessary to sustain and develop the Western Cape economy and brings enormous economic development for the Western Cape Province. It was also earmarked to facilitate the movement of large volumes of export and import freight, business, tourism, recreational and commuter traffic which is vital to growing the South African economy.

(b) I must hastily point out to this honourable House and to the honourable member, Ms N I Tarabella Marchesi MP, that the Appeal as lodged by SANRAL is also against the costs order awarded and it would be negligent and misleading of me to mention a figure which the Appeal Court might overturn, my suggestion therefore is that we await the finalisation of the Appeal.

The information requested by the Hon Member is not readily available within the department. However, the Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA), is busy collating the information and will submit as soon as it’s complete.

(a) The total number of qualifying bargaining unit employees is 16 820. This is 100% of bargaining unit employees who were still in the employ of the company at the time of signing the agreement.

(b) The total cost of back payments was R82.4 million.

1. I have taken note of the observations made by the Auditor General, as a result of his observations, investigations were done and all the implicated officials are being taken through the disciplinary process as we speak.
2. I have instructed the ADG and his team to develop a plan to combat future occurances of this nature. This plan contains amongst others the following:

• Demand & Acquisition Unit to verify that supplier have quoted according to specifications. If not an approved motivation to attached prior to appointment.
• Demand & Acquisition Unit to test the validity of the motivation against the set criteria in the SCM policy
• Suppliers who are unable to submit a valid tax certificate to be automatically disqualified. SCM officials to verify that suppliers are registered in the National Treasury central supplier database, and that their tax status is compliant
• Demand & Acquisition Unit to provide and attach proof that various suppliers were approached and given opportunity but still it was not possible obtain the prescribed minimum number of quotations.
• It is now a mandatory requirement as per National Treasury SCM Instruction note 4 A of 206/2017 to utilise service providers that are registered on the Central Supplier Database. Demand & Acquisition Unit to obtain quotations strictly from suppliers registered on the CSD.
• An official in the Office of CFO to be assigned to review compliance with SCM prior to processing of orders or appointment of suppliers

I have been informed by SITA as follows:

1 (a) SITA currently has thirteen (13) Service Level Agreements (SLA Annexes) with the Department of Home Affairs. These services are delivered using both the SITA own personnel and external services from contracted suppliers.

These services are managed via Service Level Agreements with metrics. The service performance is regularly evaluated and monitored on a monthly basis between SITA and the Department of Home Affairs.

SITA has adequate capacity to service the SLA Annexes except that it uses Telkom to provide the last-mile for a dedicated VPN. This represents the only area of challenge since SITA does not own the infrastructure and depend on Telkom network for 92% of its connectivity. SITA is now working with Sentech to provide an additional alternative connectivity using satellite technology to minimise the challenges that have been experienced to date.

1 (b) The following actions have been implemented to increase capacity:

• Appointed a specialist resource to direct the stabilisation and modernisation of the Switching Centre, supported by internal resources and external service providers;
• Full assessment of the Switching Centre’s facility condition and fit for purpose assessment completed;
• Identified critical items for stabilisation and modernisation and we have initiated projects to address DHA requirements;
• Establishment of a full preventative maintenance contract to maintain the Switching Centre’s facility infrastructure.

2 (a) (b) Yes, SITA has routine and preventative maintenance procedures, managed through IT Service Management System.

(i) (ii) SITA has regular monthly Service Level Meetings with the Department of Home Affairs and also with the Service Provider (Telkom). To minimise the causes of poor network connectivity SITA is working with the State Owned Companies such as Sentech to build additional alternative network that will be activated when terrestrial network is impacted. The satellite system will ensure that the DHA office has service as per the signed Service Level Agreements; therefore DHA does not need to close their offices when a network breakdown is experienced.

1. (a) The Free State Department of Transport and the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) have an overload control agreement which allows for the provision and upgrading of weigh bridges along the national routes in the Free State Province. The objective is to ensure that vehicle loads are within the legal limits; as to preserve the road infrastructure. The Senekal Traffic Control Centre was one of the traffic control centres which was identified for upgrading. The existing facility was limited in terms of size and capacity and was not sufficient to provide effective overload control. The demolishing and reconstruction proved to be more cost effective than changing the existing facility to the extent required. SANRAL went out to open tender for this upgrade, as required in terms of the Treasury Regulations.

(b),(c) The construction companies that submitted tenders and their tendered prices are listed in the table below:

No.	Tenderer	Tender Amounts (incl VAT) (R)
1	UKZN PLANT HIRE (ALT)	R47 796 592.27
2	UKZN PLANT HIRE	R47 803 148.41
3	MERLCON	R47 986 877.82
4	MPFUMELELO BUSINESS ENTERPRISE	R52 834 416.07
5	UM SO CONSTRUCTION	R63 821 307.43
6	RUWACON (PTY) LTD	R75 147 065.66

(d)(i), (d)(ii) UKZN Plant Hire (ALT) was awarded the Contract as it scored the highest tender evaluation points.

(e) The project commenced on 23 March 2015. The completion date was scheduled to be the 27 June 2015.

(f) To date R11, 3 million has been paid to the Contractor.

(g) The Contractor failed to perform its duties under the contract and the Employer terminated the contract.

(h) SANRAL is in the process of retendering the outstanding work required to be completed.

2. Law Enforcement is being carried out at other facilities in the Free State Province.

The questions asked form part of the subject matter of the Report into Allegations of improper and unethical conduct by the President and other state functionaries on matters relating to the removal and appointment of Ministers and Executives of State Owned Enterprises. It is clear from the remedial action to be taken that the Report is inconclusive. After the report was released, I have since indicated that I am giving consideration to the contents of the report in order to ascertain whether it should be a subject of a court challenge. I therefore cannot answer these questions as they form part of the said report.
