Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
(1)(a) In which media did the Independent Electoral Commission advertise for the voter registration held on (i) 5 and 6 March 2016 and (ii) 9 and 10 April 2016 in each province and (b) what total amount was spent in each province on the specified advertisements for each registration weekend in each medium; (2) whether any of the specified advertising was placed in community print media; if not, why not; if so, (a) in which community print media were the specified advertisements placed for each of the specified registration weekends and (b) what were the costs in this regard; (3) whether any of the specified advertising was placed on community radio stations; if not, why not; if so, (a) on which community radio stations were the specified advertisements placed on each of the specified registration weekends and (b) what were the costs in this regard?
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)

Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
Whether, since his reply to oral question 123 on 15 September 2014, he has taken any action to further investigate the findings of the Pikoli Report, released in March 2013, into corruption in the Integrated Public Transport Plan in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The response below was provided by the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality:
The Pikoli report was considered by Counsel (Adv Ranassem), who provided legal opinion to the effect that the report was nothing else but a precursor to a full scale investigation. In light of the above, the full scale investigation is currently being conducted by the National Treasury.

With reference to the undertaking by the President, Mr Jacob G Zuma, in his reply to the debate on the State of the Nation Address on 18 February 2016 that unemployed social workers who were trained through her department’s bursary schemes were receiving attention from government, what steps have been taken to place these unemployed social workers in employed positions, both (a) in government institutions and departments and (b) in the private sector, given the dire need for social workers in the specified sectors?

Reply:
1.The number of National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) bursary beneficiaries for both the National Certificate (Vocational) [NC(V)] and Report 191 from 2013 to 2015 are as follows:
- 2013 – 478 students;
- 2014 – 802 students; and
- 2015 – 340 students.
2. The NC(V) programme is a three year qualification and in terms of the Bursary Rules and Guidelines, NC(V) students can be awarded bursaries up to a maximum of four years. The fourth year bursary is awarded only in the fourth year of study (after Level 4) to allow students to complete any outstanding subjects. This provision is only applicable to continuous study and on a pro-rata basis.
The Report 191 programme students, i.e. levels N1 – N6, can apply for all semester or trimester courses in the calendar year of study. A bursary at levels N2 – N6 may only be awarded to students if they passed a minimum of 3 subjects on the previous N-level. Students who have passed exit levels, i.e. N3 and N6, but still have one outstanding subject can be awarded a bursary to allow them to complete the outstanding subject. This provision is only applicable to continuous study and on a pro-rata basis, i.e. proportional for one trimester or semester to complete one subject.
(3) Students with criminal records are not prohibited from applying for NSFAS funding. In terms of the Bursary Rules and Guidelines for applications to be considered, students must meet the following eligibility criteria:
- be South African citizens;
- registered or intending to register on an NC(V) or Report 191 programme;
- in need of financial assistance; and
- have an ability to demonstrate potential for academic success.

Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP to ask the Minister in the Presidency
(1)(a) How many learners are at each of the 31 sites where the National Youth Development Agency is offering the specified learners the opportnity to rewrite the National Senior Cetificate examinations registered by 6 March 2016 to rewrite the specified exams during October/November 2016; (b) Which subjects are offered at each of the scecified sites; and (c) How many subject registrations does this represent; (2) Why do some Provinces only have one site where the specified programme is offered, whilst others such as KwaZulu-Natal have seven sites?
Reply:
A total of 4780 learners were registered on the Programme. 30 sites offer all 5 subjects (Mathematics, Physical Science, Life Science, Accounting and English First Additional Language (FAL)). Only 1 site (Taung) does not offer Accounting and English. This is because none of the learners registered for Accounting or English (FAL). The total subject registration is 9700.
Sites and learners are allocated based on the Department of Basic Education previous year/2015 National Senior Certificate Examination Reports (School Performance, Subject and Technical Reports) which outlines Grade 12 Provincial, districts and Schools performances. Based on the report, the NYDA allocates more sites/learners to Provinces (KwaZulu Natal, Eastern Cape, Limpopo, Mpumalanga) that perform poorly on matric results. Whereas for the Provinces (Western Cape, Gauteng and Free State) that performed well, were allocated one or fewer sites. In short, the programme prioritises poor performing areas/districts/provinces on Grade 12 results.

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?
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.

Lovemore, Ms AT to ask the Minister of Public Service and Administration
(1)Whether the Public Service use a framework of minimum qualifications for the recruitment of staff to each position in the senior management service in national departments; if not, (a) why not, (b) who has the discretion to decide on acceptable qualifications for a potential incumbent and (c) when will such a framework be available for utilisation; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether all incumbent members of the senior management service in national departments will be required to achieve a minimum level of qualification; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether the salaries of directors-general across all national departments are the same or similar; if not, (a) what differences exist in this regard and (b) on what basis are calculations of the specified salaries made; if so, (i) why are all directors-general paid at the same level, regardless of the size of their departments and (ii) what are the salaries of directors-general; (4) whether incentives are paid to employees possessing identified critical or scarce skills; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
- The Public Service has a framework of minimum qualifications in place for the recruitment of staff to each position in the Senior Management Service. The Directive on compulsory capacity development, mandatory training days and minimum entry requirements for senior management service issued for implementation on 1 April 2015, is a subordinate legislation to the Public Service Act, 1994, which stipulates the minimum entry requirements for Senior Management Service (SMS) posts.
The Directive, which is currently being implemented by departments, indicates the entry requirements in terms of educational qualifications and years of experience for the different levels of SMS posts.
2. The Directive mentioned in paragraph 1 supra, also provides for the management of development priorities for existing SMS members in-so-far as providing specific training and development opportunities in order to ensure that the incumbent members who do not meet the minimum requirements are capacitated, as well as mandating the expected minimum qualification requirements for progression to higher posts.
(3) (a) A uniform salary dispensation applies to Directors-General across all national departments who are appointed in terms of the Public Service Act, 1994. A different salary dispensation applies to Directors-General in the so-called "services departments" who are appointed in terms of the Police Act, the Correctional Services Act and the Defence Act.
(b) The reason for the differentiation is the difference in employer contribution towards the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) between Public Service Act appointees on the one hand and those appointed in terms of the Acts for the services departments on the other.
(i) Directors-General appointed in terms of the Public Service Act are paid at the same level irrespective of the size of budget of the department because of the core responsibilities performed as accounting officers.
(ii) The full-time salary scales (Total Cost-to-Employer packages) for Directors-General appointed in terms of the Public Service Act and the Acts for the services departments are contained in the Table below as follows:

FINDINGS OF THE BOARD
Circumstances that caused the loss of 2x weapons (R4’s) and equipment (radio, 2x magazines, 2x weapon belts, 2x lanyards and 60 rounds)
The guards were on official duty when the incident occurred but they were asleep on guard duty. The loss of the weapons and equipment can be contributed to negligence, a lack of discipline and neglect to obey orders and instructions. Security fence, cameras and security lights around the warehouse were not up to standard. The guards did not adhere to the orders of the Adjutant. The guard commander did not post the two guards (Private’s Sam and Mdayi) on 232400B Aug 15 but they were posted by the driver. The training of Protection Services Guards were not up to standard.
Who was responsible for the loss?
02047744 MC Private S. Sam and 08415176 MC Private L.B. Mdayi.
The consequences that it may have for the SANDF
The upgrading of security measures. The development of a specific training program for Protection Services members. The loss of weapons and equipment of R18,483.20.
(2) No suspects have been identified thus far.
(3) No

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.

The Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) monitors payment of suppliers through (i) progress reports on the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) and reports to the Forum of South African Directors-General (FOSAD) Plan of Action. The DPME’s Management Performance Assessment Tool (MPAT) is also used to assess payment of suppliers. In addition, the DPME has established a unit dealing with the 30 days payment of suppliers which receives and investigates complaints of non-payment from suppliers to facilitate payment. To date, a total of R61 million has been paid to various suppliers as a direct result of DPME’s interventions.
The findings of Monitoring for National and Provincial departments are as follows:

Redelinghuys, Mr MH to ask the Minister of Police
With reference to his reply to question 667 on 1 April 2016, what happens with the funding allocated but not spent on contingent liability?
Reply:
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Department.
The budgetary provision for this line item of expenditure is costed on an annual basis on a specific methodology that considers historical spending trends, forecasts for the new financial year and any specific information that might influence the methodology applied. Should an adjustment to the budgeted amount be required, that is to increase or decrease the level of funding at a particular point in time in the financial year, a process of reprioritisation will be undertaken and additional funding shifted towards this item, or in certain instances moved from this item to other spending priorities where the level of funding of that item, requires adjustment.

(b) Please refer to Annexure 1.
(i)(aa) Please refer to Annexure 1.
(bb) Please refer to Annexure 1.
(ii) SANRAL did not print and/or distribute newspapers since 1 April 2016
2. (a) refer to Annexure 1
(b) refer to Annexure 1
(c) (i) In 2014 we commissioned extensive research – both qualitative and quantitative – on SANRAL as a brand. The results showed that in general there is little awareness of road authorities and the roads they manage. According to the research results show that there is low awareness and limited understanding of the importance of road infrastructure and the role of SANRAL in the delivery of this backbone of the economy of South Africa. Research respondents preferred the following media channels in order of preference: television; newspaper; radio; mobile phone; e-mail and website. Our use of own media addresses these preferred forms as our newsletters are inserted in newspapers, is used on our digital platforms, and used to inform our other forms of communication on the broadcast medium. Our general objective through our publications was to inform and to famliiarise the public with SANRAL’s mandate and the extensive work it delivers. Specifically in regards this time period, refer to Annexure 1
(ii) SANRAL Publications are part of its “owned media” strategy. The latter is one element in the ESOP media mix – Earned media, shared media, Owned media and Paid media. Though we still invest in earned media (through public relations), shared media (though social media networks) and paid media (through advertising), we are putting more efforts in developing owned media because of the advantages it offers, namely, cost efficiency, longevity, versatility/mobility of content and editorial control.
This approach is informed by the National Communication Strategy Framework (2014-2019), which encourages the production of high volume communication platforms – such as Vuk’uzenzele – to achieve greater reach and impact.
The SANRAL publications are inserted in national, regional, local and community publications specific to audiences being targeted. In 2014/15, we produced publications with a total print run of 10 204 449 which were inserted in 233 publications which have a combined readership of 83 796 000.
In 2015/16, we produced publications with a total print run of 17 500 000 which were inserted in 252 publications which have a combined readership of 114 500 000
(d) SANRAL publishes its own media so that the members of the public are better informed of SANRAL’s mandate. This then aids the public to understand that SANRAL as an entity is more than just GFIP or tolls. The newsletters speak to all aspects of SANRAL’s activities including road safety, community development, environment, job creation, education, and the myriad aspects of road infrastructure maintenance, improvement and development. Perceptions about SANRAL as a brand and an understanding of what we do on a daily basis have improved from our interaction with member of the public who have commented positively on our newsletters. This we have gauged through the interactions we have on social media with those who have been exposed to or content.

Legal team to conclude the process. Evictions cannot take place without a court order to those tenants with files that have been handed over to legal. The slow process of securing court orders to evict non-paying tenants’ results in premises being occupied without renewed leases especially in the case of paying tenants. Most of the leases have a provision that in case there is no renewal of the lease, it is assumed to have been renewed on month-to-month basis. |

Reply:
The Anti-Corruption Inter-Ministerial Committee (ACIMC) was established in June 2014. The Committee met in August and September 2014, September and November 2015, March 2016, and approved five programmes which are implemented as follows:
- Communication and Awareness
The key focus of this programme is to communicate government’s efforts and successes in combatting corruption in a consistent manner and to educate South Africans about what constitute corruption and encourage citizens to contribute to a Societal Approach towards preventing and countering corruption.
- Intelligence Coordination, Policy and Strategy Development
To give effect to the government anti-corruption agenda by focusing on intelligence coordination, policy and strategy development.
- Public Sector Policy and Capacity Development
To develop policies and strategy in the public sector to support Government’s anti-corruption agenda and to manage and monitor domestic implementation of and reporting on identified international obligations on anti-corruption.
- Vulnerable Sector Management
To enforce accountability by, inter alia, ensuring enforcement of statutory and regulatory in government business, systems improvements; litigation where appropriate in order recover government losses and also assist in preparation of criminal cases.
- Crime Operations and Resolutions.
To deal with Criminal Investigations and Resolutions (prosecutions) in terms of identified National Priorities and Criminal Asset Recoveries. To ensure coordination of activities of all law enforcement agencies involved in the process of Anti-Corruption Criminal Investigation.
A total of 203 corruption priority cases involving 1065 persons were investigated. The total number of persons convicted since 2009 to date is 116. Thus between 2009 and 2014, a total number of 63 persons were convicted. During the financial year 2014/2015; a total number of 23 persons were convicted. During the financial year 2015/2016; a total number of 30 persons were convicted. Investigations in 11 cases are currently underway in relation to possible contraventions of the OECD Foreign Bribery Convention.
Freezing orders to the value of R 601 million were obtained by the end of the 3rd Quarter of the 2015/16 financial year, which has contributed to a cumulative total of R4.21 Billion since 2009.
Proceeds of crime and government losses to the value of close to R 71 million were recovered by the end of the 3rd Quarter of the 2015/16 financial year, which contributed to a cumulative total of R1.96 billion since 2009.
Over and above the successes referred to in the preceding paragraphs, government has through the Specialised Commercial Crime Unit (SCCU), made significant advances in securing convictions in cases other than the priority cases stipulated in the MTSF. Since 2012 the SCCU has obtained the conviction of about three thousand, three hundred and forty individuals for serious corruption and or serious financial and economic crimes.
A total of 234 government officials were convicted for corruption related offences from 2014/15 financial year to date. However note should be taken that the monitoring of conviction was negatively affected by the disbandment of the JCPS Anti-Corruption Working Group (ACWG) and the under-reporting of disciplinary cases instituted by departments.
