Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education

(1)How many female learners dropped out of schools due to falling pregnant in the (a) 2013, (b) 2014 and (c) 2015 academic years in each district in each province; (2) how many of the specified pregnancies were (a) reported by the respective principals to the relevant provincial departments of education, (b) referred to the SA Council for Educators and (c) classified as statutory rape cases in each district and province in the specified academic years?

Reply:

(1)The question of learner pregnancy must be reviewed in light of overall learner drop-out as pregnancy is one of the various self-reported reasons for learner drop-out.

(1a-c) The Annual School Survey administered by the DBE collects information on learner pregnancy by asking the school principal for: the number of learners that they are aware of who fell pregnant during the academic year. The data is disaggregated by grade and province but not by district.

Note: This data is preliminary and should be treated with caution (i) the figure may be under-reported as principals may not be made aware of all learners that leave the schooling system due to pregnancy; (ii) it does not account for learners that return to schools after pregnancy.

Table 1: Number of learners who fell pregnant, by grade and province, between 2013 and 2015 see the link:

http://pmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/RNW1959TABLE-161109.pdf

Source: 2013-2015 Annual School Survey

Note 1: The ASS question on learner pregnancy asks the school principal for: “the number of learners (That they are aware of) who got pregnant the previous academic year”.

Note 2: The data, as received from the provinces, are preliminary and must be treated with caution, since it has not been published in this format.

Based on the caveats in interpreting the ASS data, the General Household Survey (GHS) 2002-2015 conducted by Statistics South Africa, may be a better source of data on the specific question of learner pregnancy in relation to learner drop-out. The table below provides the GHS response for 2013-2015 on the number of learners that indicated pregnancy as the reasons for not attending an educational institution. The information collected is disaggregated by province but not by district.

Note: the number in the bracket ( ) is the number of observation in the sample while the other value is the weighted estimate. The weighted estimates from the sampled households are constructed so that the responses could be properly expanded to represent the entire civilian population of South Africa.

Please also note that the table below provides information on learners between 7-18 years, noting that the compulsory schooling age is 7-15 years.

Following the study on the municipal owned resorts for the low budget market, the department and the Industrial Development Corporation are reviewing the outcomes so as to provide sound recommendations to the affected stakeholders on possible options going forward.

The department is further in the process of developing the Infrastructure and Investment Master Plan. The Master Plan will include catalytic projects with high impact and ensure fair provincial geographic spread.

The Infrastructure Master Plan will provide a national framework which will serve as a guideline for the development and maintenance of tourism infrastructure across the country. The framework will set out key objectives, identify and address the infrastructural challenges or gaps which exist in state owned underutilised properties in order to stimulate tourism growth.

The department is currently conducting consultations with provincial and local spheres to solicit inputs into the Master Plan.

The Department is also aware that successful implementation of the initiatives aimed at sustainability of some of these resorts rest with the owning municipalities as they would need to decide on the adoption of such proposed funding and operating models. The role of the department is to highlight such opportunities and where possible facilitate partnerships.

Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

(a) Why does the Edenvale Home Affairs office service only 100 persons on Saturdays and (b) how many persons are turned away on average on Saturdays; (2) Whether any plans are being put in place to increase the number of persons serviced at the specified office on Saturdays; if not, why not; if so; what are the relevant details?

Reply:

(1)(a-b) It is not correct to state that Edenvale Home Affairs office services only 100 clients on Saturdays. The average statistics for the office on a Saturday is 120 for intake of applications for ID smart cards and passports only and 90 for collection of these documents ready for collection. This statistics excludes other legacy services rendered by the Department such as registration of births, deaths and marriages and related services required by clients over the weekend.

For your convenience I am attaching a copy of statistics for the previous three months (Aug – Oct 2016) marked Annexure A, B and C on services for ID smart card and passports excluding all other services.

2. The office is sufficiently capacitated over the weekend as there are 14 Front Office Clerks and 2 Supervisors on a weekend. Whilst the office is attending to all legacy and collection clients, the rate of processing clients applying for ID smart card and passport is due to clients’ particulars having to be captured on the live capture system.

Esau, Mr S to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

Whether the Burundian national, (name and details furnished), was allowed to enter the country with photocopies of her travel documents in 2014; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) why was she allowed to enter the country with photocopies of her travel documents and (b) on what statutory grounds is this practice allowed?

Reply:

No, the passenger had no documents with her on entry into the Republic of South Africa (RSA) as it was reported to Immigration that she has been rescued and thereafter, intends to apply for asylum.

(a) She did not enter the RSA with photocopies of her travel document.

(b) In terms of the Immigration Act, 13 of 2002, as amended, as well as the Refugee Act, 130 of 1998, any person who enters the RSA with the intention to claim asylum is not required to have or produce any travel document.

The above is confirmed by the Supreme Court of Appeal Judgment in the matter of Bula & Others v Minister of Home Affairs & Others (589/11) [2011] ZASCA 209 (29 November 2011 in which the Court stated the following:

Ad Paragraph 59 “Most importantly, the provisions of Section 2 of the Refugee Act read as follows:

“Notwithstanding any provisions of this Act or any other law to the contrary, no person may be refused entry into the Republic, expelled, extradited or returned to any other country or be subject to any similar measure, if as a result of such refusal, expulsion, extradition, return or other measure, such person is compelled to return to or remain in a country where─

(a) he or she may be subjected to persecution on account of his or her race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group; or

(b) his or her life, physical safety or freedom would be threatened on account of external aggression, occupation, foreign domination or other events seriously disturbing or disrupting public order in either part or the whole of that country.”

Ad Paragraph 61, the Supreme Court of Appeal further referred to one of its judgments in the matter of Abdi v Minister of Home Affairs 2011 (3) SA 37 (SCA) and stated the following:

“In Abdi v Minister of Home Affairs 2011 (3) SA 37 (SCA) paragraph 22, this court noted that the provisions of the Act referred to in the preceding paragraph mirror those of the 1951 United Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees and the 1969 Organisation of African Unity Convention. In paragraph 22 of Abdi this court went on to say that these provisions ‘patently prohibit the prevention of access to the Republic of any person who has been forced to flee the country of his or her birth because of any of the circumstances identified in Section 2 of the Act”.

It is evident from the above stated legislation and Court Judgments, including International Conventions that no one who is claiming asylum may be refused entry into the RSA.

(2)(c) The investigation concluded that the applicant complied with Section 5(5)(a) of the South African Citizenship Act, 1995 (Act no. 88 of 1995). Section 5(5)(a) of the Act stipulates that the husband/wife of the South African citizen who has been married to a South African citizen for a period of two years may apply for naturalisation as a South African citizen if he/she has been permanently resident in the Republic for a period of two years after the Permanent Residence was issued.

(2)(d) Markers have been lifted on the identity number and the specified person can lodge the application for the required document (passport).

Mulder, Dr CP to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry

Whether, given the sluggish South African economy and low projected growth, he will consider collecting evidence-based data around economic models that work and that do not work, from some special economic zones, in collaboration with the Minisiter of Labour, attempting to relax labour regulations and in that limited geographic space to determine whether it does not result in more job opportunities; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

Since the introduction of the new Special Economic Zones Policy and the introduction of a new package of incentives for SEZ investments; the overall investment performance of South Africa’s special economic zones has improved significantly. For example, total secured investments in the 4 operational IDZs increased from R19, 7 billion at the beginning of the 2016 to R41, 2 billion at the end of October 2016. In addition, the total investment commitments from the not yet operational zones (including the newly designated) stands at over R70 billion. The dti is confident that this improved investment performance of South Africa’s special economic zones will soon translate into a stronger contribution to GDP, value-added exports and employment.

In implementing the SEZ Programme, the dti is aware that continuous learning and innovation have to be, and are; central to our efforts to improve the performance of all special economic zones. Therefore, there are lessons from both the domestic and international experiences in the planning, design, development, management and operations of special economic zones. When the time is right, department will review both the SEZ Policy and its instruments; taking into account all the lessons from both the domestic and international experiences.

However, the dti does not have any intention to introduce a different labour market policy in special economic zones. There are no indications that the current labour market policy has negative impact on the performance of our special economic zones.

01 November 2016 - NW2176

Profile picture: Mazzone, Ms NW

Mazzone, Ms NW to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises

Whether she will provide Ms N W A Mazzone with Eskom’s detailed strategic plan of action to generate R15 billion in cash reserve revenue for each of the next 10 years to be utilised for Government’s nuclear build programme; if not, why not; if so, by when; (2) how will Eskom manage to generate the total R 150 billion cash reserve revenue in the next 10 years to fund Government’s nuclear build programme, given that Eskom’s current and non-current borrowings is R 322 billion?

Reply:

  1. ESKOM has not finalised its strategic plan for each of the next ten years. However, it is expected that its EBITDA margins will continue to improve, capital expenditure will decrease over the next ten years as the current built programme winds down, costs continue to be reduced and debt repayments become lower.
  2. The measures mentioned in (1) will result in an increase in available free cash.
