Hlengwa, Mr M to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
What action will he take to ensure that a mayor is elected at the uMzinyathi District Municipality following the resignation of the former mayor in September 2015, as numerous municipal council meetings since then have failed to elect a Mayor, partly due to the absence of the Speaker?NW17E
Reply:
Section 41 of the Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (Act No. 117 of 1998) ("the Structures Act') provides that if the speaker of a municipal council is absent or not available to perform the functions of speaker, the municipal council must elect another councillor to act as speaker. If the position of mayor is vacant, the deputy mayor exercises the powers and performs the duties of the mayor. If the mayor is absent or not available and the municipality does not have deputy mayor or the deputy mayor is absent or not available, a councillor elected by the members of the executive committee acts as mayor, if the mayor has not designated a member or if the designated member is absent or not available. Section 48(2) of the Structures Act provides that the election of a mayor or deputy mayor takes place when it is necessary to fill a vacancy.
Therefore, the necessity to fill the vacant position of mayor is the prerogative of council, unless there is evidence to prove that the municipality does not fulfil the statutory obligations binding on it

Shaik Emam, Mr AM to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs:
What measures does he intend to put in place to curb ( a ) noncompliance with the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999, ( b ) wasteful expenditure, ( c ) irregular expenditure, fraud and ( d ) corruption (details furnished) in the local government sector?
Reply:
(a) The Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) is./ legislation that falls within the mandate of the National Treasury. It is applicable to national and provincial spheres of government; therefore, the Act does not apply to local government. The applicable legislation is the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) which has similar provisions on wasteful and irregular expenditure as in in the PFMA. Furthermore, it must be noted that the implementation of the MFMA also falls within the mandate of the National Treasury.
(b), (c) and (d)
A number of interventions are being put in place to address challenges pertaining to wasteful expenditure, irregular expenditure, fraud and corruption. Currently, we have the following measures in place:
• The Department is finalising the review of the 2006 Local Government Anti-Corruption Strategy.
• Draft Local Government Integrity Management Framework which sets out the responsibility of municipalities when implementing Local Government Anti-Corruption Strategy.
• We have a draft Implementation plan which provides for practical actions that will be undertaken to implement the strategy.
The additional measures that we have put in place are the following :
• The Department requested Provinces and municipalities to submit copies of forensic reports commissioned between April 2009 and October 2014.
• Of the 115 copies of forensic reports received , 106 have been assessed.
• We are collaborating with law enforcement agencies like the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU), Hawks, and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to accelerate investigations and prosecution.
• Most of the forensic reports commissioned by Provinces and municipalities made recommendations that certain remedial or other corrective measures should be taken

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
Whether his department is proactively ensuring that in accordance with the ruling of the Constitutional Court the Electoral Commission will be in a position to draw up voters’ rolls for the local government elections this year where the valid addresses of all registered voters will appear as required; if not, why not; if so, what steps are being taken by his department, in conjunction with the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, to ensure that wards in informal settlements in particular have identifiable and officially recognised street names and house numbers?
Reply:
The order of the Constitutional Court directs the Electoral Commission to provide a voters’ roll with addresses to political parties contesting elections where such addresses are available. This order affirms a standing statutory provision in section 16 (3) of the Electoral Act (27 of 1998) which provides as follows:
“…………………., the chief electoral officer must, on payment of the prescribed fee, provide copies of the voters’ roll or a segment thereof, which includes the addresses of voters, where such addresses are available, to all registered parties contesting the elections.”
Therefore the judicial and statutory dependency to the provision of a voters’ roll with addresses to contesting parties is where such addresses are available.
The Electoral Commission has nonetheless, taken a decision to proactively procure addresses of voters where such are not on their records. In this regard, a number of initiatives are either underway or about to be implemented. I presented below some of these initiatives:
- A communication campaign was initiated in the period leading up to the voter registration weekend of 5-6 March 2016, for all voters to inspect the voters’ roll with a particular focus on the address details and providing same necessary;
- Re-focusing the communication campaign for the second registration weekend on the 9-10 April to highlight the need for voters to furnish addresses at the registration stations;
- Procuring address data from a variety of data sources such as municipalities, other state agencies and commercial providers;
- Changing the response message on the Short Message System (SMS - 32810) to indicate to voters to furnish address details where such are not on the records of the Electoral Commission; and
- Conducting a voting district based field work to visit persons whose addresses details are not on record.

Brauteseth, Mr TJ to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
Whether he has entered into a performance agreement with the President, Mr Jacob G Zuma, with regard to the implementation of the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2014-2019; if not, why not; if so, (a) which key indicators and targets from the MTSF are reflected in the agreement, (b) how many performance assessments has he undertaken in consultation with the President since the agreement was signed, (c) what progress has been made in meeting the key indicators and targets from the MTSF, (d) what are the key obstacles to implementation and (e) what is the plan to address such obstacles?
Reply:
1. Whether he has entered into a performance agreement with the President, Mr Jacob G Zuma, with regard to the implementation of the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2014-2019; if not, why not; if so,
The Performance Management Framework for Ministers is the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) for 2014-2019, which is the first 5-year implementation plan of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030. The performance targets and indicators are derived from the 14 Outcomes which government seeks to achieve.
These Outcomes and targets constitute government’s Programme of Action (POA), against which performance is tracked and reported at least on a quarterly basis. POA reports are publicly available on the government’s website.
(a) Which key indicators and targets from the MTSF are reflected in the agreement?
Key targets for the MTSF include:
- Increase in the percentage of households with access to a functional water service from 85% in 2013 to 90% by 2019.
- Increase in the percentage of households with access to a functional sanitation service from 84% in 2013 to 90% by 2019, including elimination of bucket sanitation in the formal areas.

- An improvement in overall municipal audit outcomes, with at least 75% of municipalities receiving unqualified audits by 2019.
- Income support to the unemployed through expansion of the Community Work Programme to reach 1 million participants in 2019.
(b) How many performance assessments has he undertaken in consultation with the President since the agreement was signed?
Cabinet closely monitors the implementation of the NDP 2030/MTSF 2014-2019 through POA reports. These reports are tabled before an Implementation Forum of a Cluster of Ministers collectively responsible for MTSF Outcomes and then submitted to Cabinet, where progress is noted, bottlenecks to implementation are discussed and recommendations to address bottlenecks are considered and approved.
(c) What progress has been made in meeting the key indicators and targets from the MTSF?
This response is based on information received from Department of Water and Sanitation, Energy, Environmental Affairs, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation and National Treasury and Government Communication and Information Systems (GCIS). Progress provided hereunder on basic services is as at April 2015. The impact of the key indicators and targets is measured annually by sector departments.

1 million participants by 2019 |
The total CWP participation rate as at end of December 2015 was 214 013 cumulatively |
(d) What are the key obstacles to implementation?
- The provision of reliable services remains a challenge across all services due to backlogs in infrastructure refurbishment and neglect of operation and maintenance and asset management. There are no proper investments for infrastructure maintenance, which results in service interruptions.
- The challenge of connecting households in rural areas, to bulk electricity infrastructure remains an issue. Most of these connections are concentrated in remote areas far from the grid, which necessitates installation of additional bulk infrastructure to connect these households. Installation of new bulk infrastructure necessitates environmental impact assessments, acquiring servitudes and project design functions, which have long lead times, to complete leading to delays in reticulation.
(e) What is the plan to address such obstacles?
- Improving service delivery performance requires a programme management approach to proactively address the planning, coordination and institutional constraints experienced in the 27 priority districts. In this regard, a Service Delivery Business Strategy (Attached) was developed and approved by Cabinet on 02 June 2015 which entailed the establishment of a Programme Management Office (PMO) which is currently being coordinated by MISA and comprises key sector departments (DWS, DoT, DEA, DOE, NT, DCoG, & DPME).
- To date, the PMO has completed the diagnostic assessments at the Amathole District to determine and confirm the status quo of the backlogs on access to reliable services. Umzinyathi, Sekhukhune and Bojanala Districts municipalities are currently being assessed.
- The Department of Energy has recognized the need to enhance performance through project management of the electrification programme, to establish stakeholder forums aimed at managing expectations and to ensure alignment with planned electrification targets. Separate funding from Integrated National Electrification Programme (INEP) will be allocated to address bulk infrastructure requirements for targeted electricity connections specifically in deep rural areas.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
Whether he is continuously engaging with students at tertiary institutions at a personal level and proactively interacting with university authorities, as well as with the private sector and influential individuals, in order to find comprehensive solutions to student grievances and thereby guiding students away from resorting to arson, violence, damage to property and thuggery to make themselves heard; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the (a) engagement, (b) agreed solutions and (c) successes of his personal engagement?
Reply:
a) I continuously engage stakeholders on various issues affecting the Post-School Education and Training sector, e.g. taking forward the many progressive resolutions from the Higher Education Summit in order to accelerate the much-needed transformation in our higher education system. The Department recognises the urgency of addressing the big and enduring questions of transformation raised at this summit and the importance of new and different ways of engaging on university campuses so that transformation debates are characterised by dignity and recognition of diverse perspectives. The Department will in due course be announcing processes to take these matters forward.
Since the #FeesMustFall campaign, engagements with stakeholders have been intensified on the role that they each could play. I have further met with, amongst others, the following organisations:
- African National Congress (ANC);
- African Nation Congress Youth League (ANCYL);
- Congress of South African Students (COSAS);
- Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU);
- Democratic Alliance Student Organisation (DASO);
- Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command (EFFSC);
- National Health Education and Allied Workers Union (NEHAWU);
- Pan Africanist Student Movement of Azania (PASMA);
- South African Communist Party (SACP);
- South African Democratic Students Movement (SADESMO);
- South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU);
- South African Further Education and Training Student Association (SAFETSA);
- South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO);
- South African Students Congress (SASCO);
- South African Union of Students (SAUS);
- United Democratic Students Movement (UDESMO);
- Universities South Africa (USAf); and
- Young Communist League of South Africa (YCLSA).
Further meetings are being planned with Inter alia the Faith Communities and Chapter 9 institutions.
b) The student leadership and Vice-Chancellors have agreed to form a task team to deal with all outstanding matters, which includes insourcing and the “missing middle”.
c) I regard all these engagement as having yielded a huge success as many of our institutions have headed the call to return to classes at the beginning of this academic year.

Mulder, Dr PW to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
(1) What are the (a) annual salaries and (b) other financial benefits that (i) King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo and (ii) the abaThembu royal family receive from the State; (2) whether any of the financial contributions that the State pays the specified king should be suspended because of the sentence and incarceration that he is currently serving; if not, why not; if so, (a) which contributions have been suspended and (b) from which date the contributions have been suspended; (3) whether the State is paying or will pay any financial remuneration and contributions to the abaThembu king; if not, why not; if so, (a) what (i) amount or (ii) respective amounts have been or will be paid to him, (b) on what date the funds were or will be paid to the acting king and (c) in terms of which legislation the payments were or will be made to the acting king? NW1E
Reply:
(1) The salaries, allowances and benefits of all Public Office Bearers, thus including Kings, are determined by the President based on recommendations made by the Independent Commission on the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers. This Commission also makes recommendations in respect of resources which are necessary to enable a Public Office Bearer to perform his or her functions effectively. Further to this determination, the Department has developed minimum norms and standards for the provision of resources to recognised traditional leaders which have been endorsed at MINMEC on 26 September 2013. Thus, King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo annual remuneration is R 1 137 922 as per the determination.
(2) Yes, the remuneration, allowances, benefits and tools of trade have been suspended. The King's car that was allocated by the State was withdrawn soon after the Kings incarceration on 30 December 2015. As for the remuneration of the King, the Province has reported that his salary would be suspended with effect from March 2016. It should be noted that there are no provisions in legislation governing Public Office Bearers to stop the payment of his salary. However, the Minister intervened as follows:
• Sent the DG to engage the Provincial Accounting Officer to use the provisions of Section 38 of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), Act 1 of 1999.
• To explain the national process to unite the different factions of the royal family delaying the implementation of section 10 of the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act, Act 41 of 2003.
• Furthermore, the Minister wrote to the MEC advising him to stop the salary in accordance with section 38 of the PFMA, Act 1 of 1999.
(3) No, the King is in prison and can no longer perform his duties-continuing to pay him will constitute irregular, wasteful and fruitless expenditure and the Eastern Cape Accounting Officer is expected to prevent it.(b) The issue of the acting King has not been finalised. The Royal family is still consulting on this matter. As soon as an acting King has been nominated, the Royal family is expected to make a submission to the Premier in accordance with section 14 of the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act, Act 41 2003.

Groenewald, Dr PJ to ask the Minister of Police
(1)What is the policy of the SA Police Service (SAPS) in respect of persons who have criminal records; (2) whether persons with criminal records (a) are allowed to be employed by the SAPS and (b) are allowed to join the reservists; if so, (i) how many members employed by the SAPS actually have criminal records and (ii) what steps has he taken in this regard; (3) whether he will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
(1) As a general rule the South African Police Service does not appoint and/or employ persons who have criminal records. Regulation 11(1)(a)(xii) of the South African Police Service Regulations dictates that a person who applies to be appointed as a (permanent) member must have no previous criminal convictions and such person shall allow his or her fingerprints to be taken and allow background enquiries to be made.
Clause 9(1)(a)(xvii) of National Instruction 3 of 2014 (The Reserve Police Service) has a similar provision in respect of the appointment of a reservist which states that a candidate must not have a criminal record or any criminal or departmental cases pending against him or her.
(2)(a)(b) In terms of the provisions of regulation 11 of the South African Police Service Regulations (that applies to the appointment of permanent members) as well as clause 9 of National Instruction 3 of 2014 (that applies to the appointment of reservists) the National Commissioner does have the discretion to, in exceptional circumstances, waive the requirement and to employ a member/reservist with a criminal record. This discretion is exercised in limited circumstances, depending on the type of criminal record as well as taking the interest of the Service into consideration.
(2)(i) It is not possible to give an exact number of members employed by the South African Police Service that actually have criminal records as this number constantly fluctuates, based on acquittal on appeal, expungement, etc.
(2)(ii) The South African Police Service has taken steps to address this matter. In terms of Project 1448, serving members with criminal records have been subjected to Boards of Fitness in terms of section 34 of the South African Police Service Act, 1995.
However, during the implementation of the said project a Labour Court interdict was obtained, barring the Service from finalizing this process. The crux of the Labour Court ruling was that serving members cannot be subjected to a Board of Fitness for criminal convictions which have occurred many years ago and no steps or steps that did not lead to dismissal were taken at the time.
The Service is committed to enforce integrity checks on prospective applicants. Members who acquire criminal convictions whilst in service are subjected to the institution of disciplinary steps as regulation 20(z) of the South African Police Service Discipline Regulations dictates that an employee who commits a common law or statutory offence is guilty of misconduct.
A formal misconduct hearing will then be convened and depending on the circumstances relating to the misconduct an appropriate sanction will be imposed on the employee, which might include dismissal in instances of serious misconduct.
Moving forward, SAPS Management is committed to deal swiftly and decisively with members who acquire criminal convictions through the rigid application of the disciplinary code. The cases of members who acquired criminal convictions in the past (and who were subjected to the now defunct Boards of Fitness) will be scrutinized on a case by case basis in order to take appropriate steps (including possible dismissals), but applying the law as pronounced upon in the Labour Court judgment.
(3) A statement will be made in this regard once the current initiatives that are embarked upon have been concluded and tangible results can be pronounced upon.

Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Finance
(1)Whether WO01 T J B Vorster (Force No 71317051PE), who retired from the SA National Defence Force on 29 April 2015, qualifies for a pension from the Government Employees Pension Fund; if not, (a) why not and (b) has he been informed accordingly; if so, (2) whether such a pension has been authorised to be paid to the specified person; if not, why not; if so, (a) when was it authorised, (b) when was the pension first paid to the specified person and (c) what are the detailed reasons for the delay in the payment of such a pension?
Reply:
According to the Government Employees Pension Fund:
- Mr Vorster did not retire within the fund but resigned.
- The pension application was successfully processed as per the choice that he had made, he received a resignation benefit. Due to the fact that some of the requested information is personal, it cannot be made available to third party without the written consent of the person involved.
Parliament should be aware that members of the GEPF should utilise the call centre or walk in centre facilities provided by the GEPF to its members to deal with general enquiries rather than approach it for such operational queries.

Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether, with reference to Eskom’s debt downgrading to junk status in 2015, the National Treasury will continue to offer its financial support to Eskom, in spite of the warning from the World Bank that the economy is at risk of falling into a recession; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
Yes. Government has provided Eskom with a R350 billion guarantee facility of which Eskom is expected to have utilised R168.5 billion to raise debt by March 2016. In line with Eskom’s requirements, the company is expected to have raised R215 billion of government guaranteed debt by 2018/19. This will enable the company to raise the debt required to complete the capital expenditure programme which will augment electricity supply enabling an acceleration in growth and development. These projections have been taken into account in developing a prudent fiscal framework and were published in the 2016 Budget Review. That said, the framework which governs the issuance of the guarantees, requires that government approve any new loan facilities that are to be guaranteed, enabling government to manage its risk exposure.

Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Police
(1)(a) How many sectors does the Sebenza Police Station have, (b) which suburbs fall within each sector, (c) what is the size of the population of the precinct, (d) how many visible police officers are there for each sector and (e) how many shifts are there for visible policing; (2) whether there are any minimum standards for visible policing with regard to the ratios of (a) visible policing to the population and (b) the number of sectors in relation to the population being serviced by any police station; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
(1) (a) Sebenza police station has two sectors.
(b) The following suburbs fall within the sectors:
- Sector 1: Chloorkop, Cresslawn, Esther Park, Kelvin Estates, Kempton Park West, Spartan.
- Sector 2: Croydon, Edenglen, Foundersview, Longmeadow, Modderfontein, Sebenza, Spartan Ext. 7.
(c) The population size of the policing area is 19 970.
(d) There are eight visible policing officers for each sector and one Sector Commander per sector.
(e) There are four shifts for visible policing.
(2) (a) The downward adjustment of the population since the promulgation of areas demarcated to Nokem Park and Edenvale Policing areas respectively affected the current allocation of posts to the Visible Policing environment.
The allocation/distribution of human resources is informed by a number of variables including the SAPS’s funded establishment, departmental priorities and human resource requirements of the different disciplines within the SAPS.
(b) Minimum standards for the number of sectors in relation to the population was not determined. The implementation of Sector Policing is prescribed in National Instruction 3/2013, which determines that a policing area must at least be divided into two sectors. All facets of visible policing, including crime prevention, attending to complaints as well as crime prevention operations are addressed as part of the operational deployment of members in the sectors in accordance with the Crime Pattern and Threat analysis. The main aim of Sector Policing as policing approach, is to facilitate community partcipation and mobilisation in support of preventing crime in the policing area in order to strehgthen the implementation of Community Policing.
The minimum standards utilised to calculate the human resource requirement in the visible policing environment, with specific reference to sector policing at police stations, utilises the following determinants which were taken into consideration to determine the number of theoretical personnel for crime prevention activities: reported crimes, population density, social and economic factors, contingency allowances and environmental factors.
Therefore, to build the methodology on population only can never be utilised because it ignores the basic principles of organisational design/strategy.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether the National Treasury was ensuring that (a) all invoices for goods and services procured by all structures of government and public entities were being settled within thirty days without fail, (b) rapid disciplinary action was being taken against those failing to make payment on time every time, (c) all restrictions on travel, entertainment, catering etc. imposed by the National Treasury were being strictly adhered to by everyone under the National Treasury’s broad control and (d) the Auditor-General’s findings were being given full effect to in order to remedy the shortcomings immediately; if not, why not; if so, what are the details?
Reply:
(a) In terms of section 38(1)(f) of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and Treasury Regulation 8.2.3, it is the responsibility of accounting officers to settle all contractual obligations and pay all money owing, including intergovernmental claims, within 30 days from receipt of an invoice.
On 30 November 2011, the National Treasury issued Instruction Note 34 which requires departments to submit information related to their compliance with the requirement to pay invoices within 30 days. The National Treasury uses this information to compile bi-monthly reports to the Forum of South African Directors-General (FOSAD) on compliance by departments with the thirty day payment requirement.
(b) Non-compliance with the requirement to pay invoices within the prescribed period can be grounds for financial misconduct. In terms of sections 38(1)(h) and 51(1)(e) of the PFMA, accounting officers of departments, constitutional institutions and public entities must take effective and appropriate disciplinary steps against any official who contravenes or fail to comply with the provision of this Act.
The responsibility to take disciplinary action therefore lies with accounting officers and accounting authorities and the National Treasury is not in receipt of information related to disciplinary actions taken for such transgressions.
(c) Since introduction of the Treasury Instruction on Cost Containment, there is evidence of reduced spending on items related to travel, entertainment and consultants. An expenditure analysis of national departments on these items as at the end of December 2015 revealed that travel expenses reduced by 16%, entertainment expenses reduced by 8% and spending on consultants reduced by 31%. There was, however, an 8% increase in expenses related to catering.
(d) The National Treasury submits a Memorandum annually to Cabinet on the audit outcomes of all PFMA compliant institutions. In this regard, Cabinet annually resolves that accounting officers must act on the Auditor-General’s recommendations to address negative audit findings and to submit to their relevant Executive Authorities, corrective steps to be taken to address concerns raised in their audit reports.
