1. (a) Yes, Judge Motata is still on special leave with full pay.
(b) The complaints that were lodged against Judge Motata were referred by the Judicial Service Commission to a Judicial Conduct Tribunal to be investigated and reported on. The proceedings by the Judicial Conduct Tribunal were kept in abeyance following a series of legal challenges relating to the constitutionality of section 24 of the JSC Act which empowers the Tribunal President to appoint a member of the National Prosecuting Authority to collect and adduce evidence on behalf of the Tribunal. Following the conclusion of the legal challenges at the Constitutional Court, Judge Motata launched his own application challenging the constitutionality of the amendments passed by Parliament in 2008 which brought about the complaints handling mechanism against Judges. This application has resulted in the proceedings at the Judicial Conduct Tribunal being postponed until the finalisation of Judge Motata’s application.
2. The matter is to be determined by the Judicial Conduct Tribunal however Judge Motata’s special leave is not subject to a condition that Judge would have to repay the moneys earned if he is found guilty of gross misconduct by the Judicial Conduct Tribunal.
3. The total amount that has been paid to Judge Motata for the period 01 January 2007 to 31 October 2016 is R13 919 622 .36

With reference to her reply to question 1434 on 11 July 2016, what were the findings with regard to the structural damage? NW2487E
Investigation that was conducted on 21/10/2016 in Kempton Park at Edleen Primary School situated on corner of Klipspringer and Parklands drive in Ester Park. The inspector conducted an inspection at the above mentioned primary school at which there was a complaint of structural damage to the building. The main block, housing the boys toilets, have been locked due to a crack on the wall. Housekeeping of the store rooms in the classes is not being maintained and majority of classes have roof leaks. The inspectors were accompanied by the deputy principal Mr Ryno Rheeder and an employee, Mr Kennedy Ramoshaba, during the Inspection. Due to roof leaks, ceilings in various areas are no longer in a good condition. Toilet facilities were recently renovated and are in good condition, however, four of the toilets demarcated for the school boys are not in use due to cracks in the wall. There are five classes containing possible asbestos related material being used that are not in a good condition, the alleged asbestos walls are however painted, thus limiting the possible risk. The school needs to prioritise the assessment of those five classes containing alleged asbestos material. The School has been requested to furnish the inspector with an action plan that will be communicated to all the relevant stakeholders. A Contravention Notice has been issued relating to matters of non compliance. A follow up will be conducted in 30 November 2016 due to the fact that schools will be closed for December holidays.

Reply:
1. SA Express has lease Agreements with multiple leasing companies. The preferred lease structure by the airline is Wet Lease Agreement on an ad hoc basis. One of the advantages for leasing aircraft on an ad hoc basis is that the relationship is determined by the airline’s schedule requirement at a specific time. This structure is more cost effective.
As mentioned above, there is more than one leasing company the airline has a relationship with and Star Air Cargo is one of them.
For a lease company to qualify to be in the pool of preferred vendors for aircraft to be leased to SA Express, the airline conducts internal safety audits to ensure compliance with all legislative requirements. Furthermore, the SACAA also conducts independent audits. This is done to ensure safety of the passengers is not compromised and this is in line with one of the Airline’s values.
(1)(a) South African Express has a Wet Lease Agreement on an ad hoc basis with Star Air Cargo which was signed in February 2015 and the contract expires in April 2017.
(1) (b) Star Air Cargo was engaged to mitigate the inherent challenges of an aging fleet and scheduled and unscheduled maintenance of aircraft.
(1)(c) Due to the nature of the Wet Lease Agreement, SA Express signs Non-Disclosure Agreement with respective lessors in order to protect each parties’ “Intellectual Property”.

Reply:
1. (a) What are the vacancy rates for support staff for schools for learners with special educational needs (LSEN) that have boarding facilities in each district and (b) by what date will each of the specified vacancies at the boarding facilities be filled;
(1) (a) and (b) The information requested is not routinely collected at a national level. A request has been sent to Provincial Education Departments for the information. It is, however, suggested that the information be sought through a Member of the Provincial Legislature as basic education is a concurrent competency.
(2) (a) What are the vacancy rates for (i) psychologists, (ii) speech therapists, (iii) occupational therapists, (iv) physiotherapists and (v) nurses at each school for LSEN in each district of each province and (b) by what date will each of the specified vacancies be filled;
(a), (i) (ii), (iii), (vi), and (v); and (b). The information requested is not routinely collected at a national level. A request has been sent to Provincial Education Departments for the information. It is, however, suggested that the information be sought through a Member of the Provincial Legislature as basic education is a concurrent competency.
(3) How many teacher training centres are training teachers through the Funza Lushaka bursary scheme in schools for LSEN in each district of each province?
(3) The Funza Lushaka bursary is being offered at 24 public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) offering Initial Teacher Education programmes such as the Bachelor in Education (B Ed) or Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). Public HEIs do not train teachers specifically for LSEN schools. However, the Policy on the Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualifications (2015) requires all B Ed and PGCE graduates to be knowledgeable about inclusive education and skilled in identifying and addressing barriers to learning, as well as in curriculum differentiation to address the needs of individual learners within a grade.

Ntlangwini, Ms EN to ask the Minister of Social Development
In light of her department’s budget report which reflects a saving of more than R1 billion due to lower than anticipated social grants that were paid out, (a) how many people are intended to be social grant recipients but are not on the system to receive grants, (b) why are they not on the system and (c) what steps will she take to ensure that every person that must receive a social grant is in the system and duly receives the grant?
Reply:
(a) Each year grant projections are done by the Department of Social Development together the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) and National Treasury. These projections are based on a number of factors, including historical trends and micro-simulation which takes into account the demographics and economic circumstances of the country. The Department had targeted some 16.97 million beneficiaries across all grants for the 2015/16 financial year and reached 16.83 million beneficiaries, which is 99.1% of its projected target.
(b) SASSA is successfully meeting its targets. The 140 thousand difference between those projected and those reached falls within the 1% margin of error that the Department had set itself during the financial year for the projections. Similarly, more than 99% of the total R130 billion social grants budget was utilised, resulting in the R1 billion savings (which is less than 0.77%).
(c) In addition to the very vast footprint of SASSA which comprises of 389 offices and 1 163 service offices across the country, the following initiatives aim to ensure that every citizen has access to social grants. These include:
- The Department of Social Development together with SASSA and the National Development Agency implement the Mikondzo programme. This programme focuses on taking all social development programmes to the people, through engagement with communities. This programme includes door-to-door interventions to identify and assist any citizens who could qualify for services, including social grants.
- The ICROP programme. This is a planned outreach programme where SASSA services are taken to areas which are under-serviced or where the distance to the nearest SASSA office is very far. This ensures that everyone has access to SASSA services
- The Regulations to the Social Assistance Act, 2004 were amended in 2008, to allow for applications for social grants to be taken for citizens who do not have identity documents or birth certificates for the children under their care.
- SASSA has a programme which focuses on the uptake of child support grants for children aged between 0 – 1 years of age. This is done as all research has indicated that the earlier the child support grant is paid, the better the long term benefits for the child.
- Communication programmes are constantly run to publicise the requirements for social grants, in particular the requirements of the means test.

Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Social Development
(a) What was the purpose of her attendance at the 45th Annual Rainbow Push Coalition conference held in Chicago, United States of America, from 28 June 2016 to 2 July 2016, (b) (i) who accompanied her on the specified trip and (ii) why did each of the specified persons accompany her, (c) what was the total cost of the specified trip and (d) where did (i) she and (ii) each person accompanying her stay?
Reply:
The South African delegation attended the 45th Annual Rainbow Push Coalition Convention upon Ministerial invitation by Reverend Jesse Jackson, a founder and President of the Rainbow Push Coalition. It must remembered that Rev Jackson is one of the human rights activists who contributed immensely to the liberation struggle in Africa, and South Africa in particular.
The 45th Session of the conference provided a unique platform for the South African delegation to learn international best practices in respect of various social development areas such as racial, social and economic justice and social cohesion. Others includes strategies to address homelessness, the scourge of alcohol and substance abuse; violence against women and children, particularly in African American communities, youth development and improvement of access to education for disadvantaged communities. The delegation interacted and exchange ideas with young men and women from different countries including African Americans and the Diaspora.
(b) (i) The delegation was comprised as follows:
- Ms Bathabile Dlamini, MP Honorable Minister of Social Development;
- Ms Constance Nxumalo Deputy Director-General: Welfare Services;
- Mr Oupa Ramachela Acting Deputy Director-General: Corporate Services;
- Mr Abram Phahlamohlaka: Chief of Staff
- Ms Mamokoena Mefolo: Director: Protocol Services.
(b) (ii) The two Deputy Directors-General provided support to the Minister on substantive issues while the Chief of Staff provided speech writing and administrative expertise to the Minister and the Director: Protocol Services provided both the secretariat and protocol support services.
(c) The cost came out of the Ministry budget. In an effort to contain the expenditure for international travel, particularly given the weak rand-dollar exchange rate, the Minister and the delegation utilised a cheaper airline and accommodation recommended by the Mission. The total cost of inclusive of airline tickets for the Minister and delegation, accommodation and ground transport was R547 413.19.
(d) The Minister and the entire delegation were accommodated at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, which is the hotel where the conference was held. The hotel rates for all delegates were negotiated by the conference organisers, the Rainbow Push Coalition.

Matsepe, Mr CD to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(1)How many (a) Funza Lushaka bursaries were awarded to students who wish to study in the fields of (i) special educational needs, (ii) braille and (iii) sign language education in each district of each province in the past three academic years and (b) students who completed their studies (i) graduated in each of the specified academic years and (ii) were placed in (aa) special educational needs schools, (bb) schools for the hearing impaired and (cc) schools for the visually impaired; (2) how many of the students who completed their studies were placed in (a) main-stream education and (b) full-service schools?
Reply:
(1) How many (a) Funza Lushaka bursaries were awarded to students who wish to study in the fields of (i) special educational needs, (ii) braille and (iii) sign language education in each district of each province in the past three academic years and (b) students who completed their studies (i) graduated in each of the specified academic years and (ii) were placed in (aa) special educational needs schools, (bb) schools for the hearing impaired and (cc) schools for the visually impaired;
- (a) The priority areas for the Funza Lushaka bursary did not specifically include the fields of special educational needs, braille and sign language education in the past three academic years. This is because universities have not offered the fields of special educational needs, braille and sign language as major subject areas in the Bachelor of Education (B Ed) degree and Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) up to now. However, there are universities that are preparing for the introduction of full programmes in this regard. It is for this reason that the Department has included an emphasis on bursaries for inclusive education in the 2017 Funza Lushaka Policy.
(b) As stated above universities have not offered the fields of special educational needs, braille and sign language as major subject areas in the Bachelor of Education (B Ed) degree and Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) up to now. There are therefore no students who graduated with these as major subject areas.
2. How many of the students who completed their studies were placed in (a) main-stream education and (b) full-service schools?
2. There are no graduates funded by the Funza Lushaka bursary programme with major subjects in special educational needs, braille and sign language that needed to be placed.

Lotriet, Prof A to ask the Minister of Science and Technology
(1)Whether an implementation plan for multi-wavelength astronomy has been submitted by the National Research Foundation to her department; if not, why not; if so, (a) when was the specific plan submitted and (b) what are the further relevant details; (2) whether in the budget allocation to the SA Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) has been increased as a result of the specified plan; if not, why not; if so, (a) what are the relevant details and (b) what is the status of the student programme at the SAAO in terms of being continued or discontinued?
Reply:
1. The NRF submitted the Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for Multi-Wavelength Astronomy to the DST in November 2015 and it was approved by the DST Executive Committee in March 2016. The Implementation Plan outlines the proposed programmatic focus and consequent financial implications for astronomy initiatives in South Africa, and it was approved as a framework within which various astronomy-related interventions, projects and programmes could be initiated, subject to the availability of funds.
The roll-out of the Plan will be jointly considered on an ongoing basis between the NRF and the DST, taking into account the available financial allocations and the level of support for astronomy within the overall DST and NRF portfolio.
(2) The Implementation Plan of the National Strategy for Multi-Wavelength Astronomy prioritises an increase in the parliamentary grant of the SAAO as the most important need for astronomy outside the MeerKAT/SKA budget. However due to the current economic conditions there has not been an increase in the current baseline allocation to the SAAO. A budget of R40 million has been allocated over the next three years from the DST Infrastructure budget, commencing from the 2016/17 financial year, for IT and infrastructure refurbishments, upgrades and new acquisitions. Although this funding will somewhat alleviate the facility’s current funding constraints and see to some basic needs of upkeep, it does not address the need for additional funding for operations and other programmes in the observatory. In this context the student programme at SAAO remains discontinued until it is feasible to increase the allocation to the SAAO for this purpose.

Maimane, Mr MA to ask the Minister in the Presidency
What was the total financial cost to the State for all litigation involving the non-security upgrades at the President, Mr Jacob G Zuma’s, private homestead in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal?
Reply:
The Presidency Annual Report (2015-2016) with the Financial Statements, was tabled in Parliament on 29 September 2016. The financial statements that are prepared by the accounting officer, are prepared in accordance with Modified Cash Standards prescribed by National Treasury and the requirement of Public Finance Management Act (Act No. 1 of 1999). The financial statements allow the grouping of some transactions and therefore do not allow for identification of transactions that can be related to this question.

I was meant to return to Pretoria on the same day, due to the fact that the function ended very late I stayed overnight at the Oyster Box Hotel because at the time of making the booking the travel agency could not secure a cheaper hotel that offers government rates.

Reply:
1 (a) This investigation is not yet completed as it requires intense perusal of documents, schools visits and homesteads as well as engagement with external stakeholders to obtain information.
(b) It is anticipated that the investigation will be completed by 30 November 2016. Some of the phases involved in the process; which are the formal suspension and the construction of charges for each individual official: have been finalized. We will now be serving them with notices for disciplinary hearing which will contain their charges. Disciplinary proceedings will then commence in the first week of October 2016.
(i) The main findings thus far are as follows:
- Court orders and proceedings issued without the children's court hearing.
- Court documents are generated in the office.
- Ethical erosion (accepting bribery, no tinge of conscience and sensitivity towards working with vulnerable groups)
- Trend of revolving children when exiting the system to add younger children to prolong the duration of receiving the foster care grant (ghost children)
- Noncompliance to Legislative mandates and Policies relating to Social Services Profession and Social Welfare Service delivery: Social Workers practicing without professional registration with the Council.
(ii) We are implementing disciplinary action against 27 employees implicated to the alleged foster care grant fraud.
2. (a) All the 27 officials implicated to the alleged foster care grant fraud are precautionally suspended.
- The names of the officials will be provided once the investigation is finalized by 30th November 2016.
- All the 27 officials implicated to the alleged foster care grant fraud are Social Workers.
(b) These officials were precautionary suspended from the 17th August 2016 pending the outcome of the investigation.
3. Yes, the specified staff members are receiving their full salaries while on suspension and this is within the labour law.
(a) The Disciplinary Code and Procedure for the Public Service makes provision of a suspension of an employee as a precautionary measure which does not constitute judgment, and must be on full pay.
(b) Employees will receive their full salaries until disciplinary processes have been finalized. The Code stipulates that where an employee is suspended, a disciplinary enquiry must be held within 60 days. It is envisaged that the hearings of these employees will be set for the first week of October 2016 and it is envisaged that the process will be completed within 90 days.
