1. (a) The Legal Metrology Act, Act 9 of 2014 is an improvement on the Trade Metrology Act, Act 77 of 1973. The Act expands trade metrology to the legal metrology domain for trade, health care and the environment amongst others, which were previously excluded from appropriate administrative control.

(b) In circumstances where standards have not been developed yet, for any metrology instrument, the CEO of the NRCS, in consultation with the user, may set interim requirements and conditions for the use of such an instrument until such time that relevant standards are developed.

2. (a) The Act makes provision for specified metrology instruments to be used in the absence of specified standards according to the stipulated process outlined above.

(b) The interpretation of the Department of Trade and Industry is that revenue generated in circumstances where there is not yet a standard, is legally permissible.

3. Section 18(1) of the Legal Metrology Act 9 of 2014 confers powers to the NRCS to take appropriate action against a defaulting party who has utilized an instrument, product or service that does not conform to legal metrology technical regulations (standards). The Act allows the NRCS to direct in writing any non-compliant instrument, product or service to be brought into compliance with the relevant standards, failing which the instrument or product may be confiscated, destroyed or returned to the country of origin.

4. Section 17(1) of the Legal Metrology Act, 9 of 2014 states that no person may import, manufacture, sell or supply a measuring instrument or product, or render a service, to which a legal metrology technical regulation applies. Costs incurred by the National Regulator for the confiscation, destruction of non-compliant measuring instrument, product or service may be recovered from the person using such measuring instrument or product, or rendering such service.

Between 2008/09 and 2011/12, compensation and goods and services budgets grew in real terms by 8.4 per cent and 5.1 per cent respectively. After the introduction of the expenditure ceiling in 2012, real spending on compensation of employees averaged 2.5 per cent over the period 2012/13 – 2015/16 and is projected to fall to 1.1 per cent real growth over the 2016 MTEF. Goods and services spending has also been sharply reduced, with non-essential items such as travel, subsistence, catering and entertainment declining in real terms. Over the 2016 MTEF, total goods and services spending is projected to grow at 0.6 per cent in real terms.

As a share of total consolidated spending, compensation has declined from 36.1 per cent to 35.3 per cent between 2012/13 and 2014/15. Goods and services spend has declined from 17.1 per cent to 16.8 per cent over the same period. From 2016/17 onwards, government will close its current deficit – the difference between current revenue and spending on compensation, goods and services, interest, and current transfers and subsidies. The resultant savings are expected to reach 1.7 per cent of GDP in 2018/19, equivalent to 44 per cent of government’s budgeted capital spending.

Project name	Date	Contract duration	Project value (R billion)
Statistics South Africa Head Office Accommodation PPP project	April 2014	25 years	10.3
Independent Power Producer’s Programme 3rd window submission	December 2014	20 years	26*
Municpal capital expenditure funded through borrowings	2014/15 financial year	-	9.4
Municpal capital expenditure funded through borrowings	2015/16 financial year	-	12.1**
Total			57.8

NB: Most State Owned Companies finance their Infrastructure programmes from their own revenue and borrowings backed by government guarantees and they are excluded from a list of the above mentioned projects.

* PThe programmeis funded by private sector capital raised from financial institutions. The private sector takes the risk associated with the completion of the project and it in turn benefits from unitary payments made by Eskom/government over the duration of the project.

**Planned borrowings for the entire year ending in June 2016.

The table above shows some of the projects where the private sector has provided financing. Some are PPP projects whereas others are municipal projects.

Government is also stepping up its work with municipalities, in partnership with the private sector. A series of transformative projects valued at over R128 billion has been identified for potential investment in large cities, supported by a project preparation facility at the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA). To broaden funding streams, city governments will focus on improving their systems for revenue collection, expenditure management and land-use zoning.

Cornubia, a mixed-income commercial and residential development in eThekwini, is under construction. A total of 28 500 housing units, 18 clusters of community facilities and 2.3 million square metres of commercial floor space are planned. The city has also developed a densification plan to complement commuter rail modernisation between Umlazi and Bridge City. Private-sector contributions will amount to R15.4 billion of the total development cost of R25.8 billion.

In 2013, the DBSA completed a successful restructuring. Over the medium term, government expects the DBSA to help develop South Africa’s municipal debt market as part of broader efforts to reshape the urban landscape. New initiatives will leverage private-sector investment to complement the DBSA’s own loan disbursements, which total R17.8 billion over the next three years.

The NHFC disbursed R675 million in loans for affordable housing development, and leveraged R2.2 billion in co-financing from the private sector to support these projects.

Reply:

The Department made an assessment on a number of factors that were contributing to delays in processing of recommendations to the Department of Home Affairs on corporate and individual work visa applications. The Department is not responsible for recommending approval of general visas to the Department of Home Affairs.

To improve the processing of corporate and individual work visas applications we have put the following measures in place:

• We have advised and secured approval from Department of Home Affairs that Sports, Arts, Culture and Religious applications will no longer be processed by the Department of Labour as from 01st April 2015.

• We have publicized guidelines on our website for corporate and individual work visa applicants to check requirements before they submit applications to the department.

• We trained staff in our Labour Centres not to accept any applications that are incomplete or are not corporate or individual work visa related.

• Applications submitted by employers found to be non-compliant with our labour laws will be negatively recommended immediately on receipt of inspector’s report.

• We set a target of 30 working days within which we are going to process applications.

• As from 06th June 2016 we intend testing and piloting a new on-line system for the submission of applications.

• At Head Office, the adjudication committee meets every Friday of the week to review and finalize documentation received from Provincial Offices and to make a final recommendation to the Department of Home Affairs.

3. The workers and ex-workers who attend the One Stop Centres were also assessed for non-occupational health-related problems and referred to the hospital for care. The reasons for non-submission of the medical assessment reports to the MBOD include lack of record of service of the claimant and missing documents such as bank account forms. Many of the workers and ex-workers also visit the One Stop Centres to seek information on the status of their claim.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

Reply:

(1)(a)(i-ii) The following media channels formed part of the Electoral Commission’s registration communication initiatives in all nine provinces: Outdoor media (billboards), print media (newspapers, magazines, community newspapers and other publications), radio (including community, regional and national stations), television (including SABC, eTV, a variety of DSTV stations and community channels), digital media, social media and internet advertising). It must be noted that the media planning and implementation to promote registration during both the March 2016 and April 2016 registration weekends were identified and selected based on a variety of factors including target audience (especially aimed at eligible voters under 30 years old), available budget and cost efficiency, as well as the distribution of eligible voters around South Africa as informed by the Electoral Commission’s own databases and those of the media.

(1)(b) Electoral Commission does not segment its media purchases, planning or expenditure according to provincial boundaries. Most media transcend provincial boundaries (especially television, radio and digital/social media). It is therefore not possible to provide accurate data regarding the provincial split of media usage or expenditure per province as provincial expenditure is not tracked.

.However, the total spend on all media in all provinces to promote the two registration weekends in March and April 2016 was as follows: (Inclusive of VAT)

Television: R28 552 505
Radio: R21 581 577
Print: R6 195 149
Digital media: R17 964 903
Outdoor media: R4 312 827

(2) Community print was used extensively to promote the first registration weekend in March 2016. A four-page guide to the 2016 Elections was published in six languages and 8.306 million copies were inserted into 325 community newspapers based in all provinces.

(2)(a) See attached list marked Annexure A of community newspapers used.

(2)(b) R4 683 622 (Inclusive of VAT)

Community radio stations (which included student radio stations) were included in the media plan for both registration weekends.

(3)(a) See attached list marked Annexure B of community radio stations used

(3)(b) R2 231 002 (Inclusive of VAT)

ANNEXURE A: PQ 1217 on IEC

Horn, Mr W to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs

With reference to Section 139 (1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, intervention in the Makana Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape, (a) what was the total cost to the Department for (i) the services of a certain person (Ms Pam Yako) and (ii) her replacement and (b) what are the full details of the specified costs in each case and (c) what is the current legal status of the intervention in terms of Section 139 (1)(b) in the specified municipality?

Source

Reply:

According to the information provided by the Eastern Cape Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs:

a) (i) The total cost to the Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs in the Eastern Cape for the services of Ms Pam Yako, who was the Administrator in the municipality for a total period of nine months, was R3 089 928 .96.

(ii) Her replacement, a Senior Manager in the employ of the same department, was (and still is) remunerated at the normal level applicable to public servants at senior managerial level (Salary Level 13), because he is currently performing his functions in the municipality on secondment by the department.

b) According to the information we received from the abovementioned department, Ms Yako was paid an amount of R2 014 133. 76 for the first six months of her contract in the municipality. The payment was for work performed for four days per week for the first three months, each day calculated at eight hours at the DPSA rate of R2 568 per hour. It was also for work performed for three days per week for the second three months, each day still calculated at eight hours at the same DPSA rate of R2 568 per hour. Her contract was later extended for a period of three months. For this period (the last three months), she was remunerated at the DPSA rate of R 1 966 per hour for work performed for five days per week, each day constituting eight hours of work as usual, which amounts to R1 075 795. 20. When both amounts are combined, she was paid a total amount of R3 089 928 .96, as already reflected above.

As already stated, Ms Yako’s successor is remunerated at his current salary level (Salary Level 13) applicable to him as an employee of the provincial department occupying a senior managerial post.

c) In respect of the current legal status of the intervention, this intervention is still legal because it was approved by both my predecessor (Minister Pravin Gordhan) and the NCOP, in terms of the provisions of section 139(2) of the Constitution. The approval by Minister Gordhan and the NCOP came after the intervention was reinstated by the Provincial Executive a few weeks after it had been withdrawn following its disapproval by the NCOP.

Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Finance

With reference to the replacement of the Eskom Subordinated Loan Special Appropriation Bill [B77-2008] with the Eskom Subordinated Loan Special Appropriation Bill [B17-2015], what was the total amount of interest lost as a result of Eskom not repaying one cent in terms of the loan agreement stipulated in the 2008 version of the specified Bill?

Source

Reply:

The loan agreement that was concluded between the Minister of Finance and Eskom, as required in terms of the Eskom Subordinated Loan Special Appropriation Act (2008/09-2010/11 Financial Years), provided for the loan to be repaid over a 30-year period. Consequently, there was no requirement for Eskom to have repaid any portion of the loan as yet.

The loan agreement also provided for a market-related interest rate to be payable, but, taking into account the medium-term impact of Eskom’s capital investment plan on Eskom’s balance sheet as required in the Act, the interest was only payable in those financial years where Eskom’s financial results reflected both a leverage ratio of better than 12.5% and an interest multiple above 2.5 times. Both ratios were to be calculated after considering any interest that would be payable on the loan. These provisions enabled the appropriated funding to strengthen Eskom’s balance sheet in a way that would be similar to, although not exactly the same as, equity.

As a result of Eskom’s weak financial position, at no point since the inception of the loan have both of the ratios been above the set thresholds and hence no interest was payable. Moreover, forward projections indicate that Eskom’s financial position is expected to remain weak for some time and that it was unlikely that the company would be required to pay interest on the loan over that period. Specifically, Eskom’s 2016 Corporate Plan indicates that the company anticipates that some key credit metrics will only reach the targetted levels by around 2026.

Moreover, the weak financial position resulted in Eskom credit rating being downgraded to sub-investment grade; reducing access and increasing the cost of funding resulting in the utility having to rely more heavily on the government guarantees. The conversion to equity of the subordinated loan through the replacement of the Eskom Subordinated Loan Special Appropriation Act (2008/09-2010/11 Financial Years) with the Eskom Special Appropriation Act (2008/09-2010/11 Financial Years), 2008 as well as the allocation of a further R23 billion in equity through the Eskom Special Appropriation Act, 2015 served to improve Eskom’s financial position thereby better enabling the company to stablise electricity supply, undertake required maintenance and complete the build programme.

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

Has her department conducted an audit to assess the storage capacity of its dams; if not, why not; if so, (a) when was the specified audit conducted and (b) what did the results indicate?

Source

Reply:

Yes, my Department conducted an audit to assess the storage capacity of its dams (referred to as capacity determination survey).

(a) The surveys are taken at the different times as each dam has its own return period for such survey to be conducted. This is largely due to the fact that these dams were commissioned at different times and also that severity of sediment accumulation will differ from dam site to dam site.

The attached Appendix A gives the storage audit of departmental dams. Column E of the spreadsheet gives a date when the capacity survey was done and Column N gives the return period.

(b) For results of storage audits please refer to Appendix A, Column K and L.

Schmidt, Adv H to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources:

With reference to the court decision in Glencore Operations South Africa Proprietary Limited Coal Division v Minister of Mineral Resources and Others (JR91/2014) [2016] ZALC JHB 49, dated 3 February 2016, where the decision was handed down to impose an administrative fine of R500 000 on the South Witbank Colliery after a worker died in a mine accident, (a) why did (i) he and (ii) the Mine Health and Safety Inspectorate (MHSl) fail to submit answering affidavits when the specified colliery challenged the decision in court, (b) how has the MHSI changed its operating processes to avoid this precedent being used by mines to avoid fines in future and (c) what amount is to be paid back to the mine as a consequence of the specified judgement?

Reply:

(a) The Department instructed the State Attorney to oppose the matter. A legal counsel was appointed for the matter and consultation took place between him and the Department. Counsel requested certain information from the Department and such information was provided. There was no feedback from the State Attorney on the matter until judgment was granted. The Department has requested the Chief Litigation Officer in the State Attorney's office to investigate the circumstances that caused the non-filing of the answering affidavits.

(b) The MHSI will, as soon it receives outcomes of the above-mentioned investigation, assess if there is any need to change its operating processes. However, as it stands the current operating processes followed by the MHSI in this regard are adequate and do not require any changes.

(c) The Department has paid to Glencore an amount of R696, 828.77. This amount is inclusive of R500, 000.00 administrative fine repayment and interests at 15, 5% per annum from 02nd August 2013, as per the court judgment.
