Grootboom, Mr GA to ask the Minister of Basic Education

(1)Whether her department complied with the regulations for the provision of sanitation to the Mmagobana Combined School in eMalahleni, Mpumalanga, as stipulated in Annexure G in the Regulations Relating to Minimum Uniform Norms and Standards for Public School Infrastructure contained in the South African Schools Act, Act 84 of 1996; if not, (a) why not and (b) when will her department comply in this regard; if so, (i) what are the conditions of the (aa) girls’ (aaa) toilets and (bbb) basins, (bb) boys’ (aaa) urinals and (bbb) basins and (cc) unisex disabled (aaa) toilets and (bbb) basins at the specified school; (2) whether her department will ensure that the specified facilities are in a suitable condition to be used by the learners; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

 

  1. (b), (i), (aa), (bb), (cc), According to the Mpumalanga Department of Education (DoE), the school has a total of 29 toilets seats serving 656 Learners. However, there are no basins, urinals and unisex disabled toilets and the condition of the toilets is not of good standard, though still usable. On the basis of that, the sanitation infrastructure at Mmagobana Combined School partially complies with the Regulations Relating to Minimum Uniform Norms and Standards for Public School Infrastructure, as contained in the SA Schools Act, Act 84 of 1996. To address the situation at this school, the Mpumalanga DoE has engaged private companies for assistance in this regard. Eskom has agreed to assist the school through its Community School Improvement (CSI) Project and plans are at an advanced stage to revamp the sanitation facilities and replace the old sanitation system.
  2. The implementation targets are clearly outlined in the National Minimum Uniform Norms and Standards to address all the infrastructure challenges. The Mpumalanga DoE has also developed its own implementation plans towards meeting the requirements of the National Minimum Uniform Norms and Standards and their implementation is monitored by the Department on a regular basis. To this effect, the Mpumalanga Department of Education has allocated an amount of R241 million in the current financial year to address basic services and a total of 178 schools will benefit. An amount of R659 million has been allocated in the 2016/17 financial year to finally address all basic services backlog in the Province.

Basson, Mr LJ to ask the Minister of Public Works:

(1) Whether, with reference to his reply to question 692 on 10 April 2015, his department concluded its decision on the optimum use of the land by 30 June 2015 as informed by the consultative processes; if not, why not; if so, what does his department’s decision entail; (2) whether his department will formalise the informal settlement of Farm Kameeldrift; if not; for what other purpose will the specified land be used; if so, why?

Reply:

The Minister of Public Works

(1) Yes, the National Department of Public Works (NDPW) has concluded its decision on the optimum use of Portions 454 and 455 of the farm Kameeldrift 211 JQ. The decision was informed by the consultative processes undertaken with the Madibeng Local Municipality, the Department of Human Settlements and the Housing Development Agency.

The NDPW’s decision entails that, once the Department has received all the required documentation from the Madibeng Local Municipality, Ministerial approval will be sought to release Portion 455 of Farm Kameeldrift 211 JQ to the Madibeng Local Municipality for human settlement development purposes. Portion 454 will remain in the custody of the NDPW, as it is not required by the Madibeng Local Municipality.

(2) It is envisaged that the Madibeng Local Municipality will formalise the informal settlement on Portion 455 of Farm Kameeldrift 211 JQ once the property is transferred. The Municipality will do so in collaboration with the Department of Human Settlements and the Housing Development Agency.

Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP to ask the Minister of Public Service and Administration

(1)Why did the Public Service Commission’s branch for Leadership and Management Practices choose the Western Cape for an audit to establish a benchmark for appropriate human resource and financial management skills for senior managers; (2) (a) did the specified audit include both provincial and national senior managers and (b) what were the findings of the specified audit; (3) have any benchmarks been developed from the findings of the specified audit; if so, what are the relevant details; (4) was the specified audit followed by similar studies in other provinces; if so, what were the findings; (5) were any conclusions and/or recommendations made based on the comparison made between the specified provinces; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

  1. The Public Service Commission (PSC) on an annual basis identifies key areas to be investigated, monitored and evaluated both at national and provincial level. Due to financial and human resource capacity constraints, the scope of projects does not comprise the entire Public Service. Provincially Based Commissioners identify projects to be undertaken in each Province, which is the case with regard to the skills and competency audit of human resource and financial management of senior managers in the Western Cape.

(2) (a) The audit included senior managers (levels 13 and above) from the Western Cape Provincial Administration.

(b) The findings indicated that senior HR managers have improved their components in terms of competence, teamwork, morale and most notably increased efficiencies, compliance and service delivery through streamlined processes. The areas of development identified include the need to enhance on knowledge management within the HR function and strategic capability and leadership.

Finance managers were highly regarded in terms of attention to detail, continuous scoping and analysis of the policy environment, as well as the manner in which most help staff improve competence add value within their context. Developmental areas identified for this group include enhanced interpersonal competencies, especially those that allow them to thrive when managing larger and more diverse teams, contribution towards service delivery innovation and managing change.

(3) The instruments developed and methodology used as part of this project can be refined and adapted for use in departments and other provinces. The project was designed to highlight the required critical skills and knowledge from Human Resource Management and Financial Management portfolios in order to assure high performance.

(4) The audit was not conducted in any other province.

(5) See point 4 above.

Profile picture: Lees, Mr RA

Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Finance

(1)How much Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) funding was granted to the Thabazimbi Local Municipality in Limpopo in the (a) 2011-12, (b) 2012-13, (c) 2013-14, (d) 2014-15 and (e) 2015-16 financial years, respectively; (2) whether any of the specified MIG funds (a) were underspent, (b) rolled over and/or (c) returned to the National Treasury in each of the specified financial years; if not, what is the National Treasury’s position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details in each case; (3) whether the National Treasury is currently providing any form of assistance to the Thabazimbi Local Municipality; if not, why not; if so, what are the further relevant details?

Reply:

  1. During the 2011/12 and 2012/13 financial years, Thabazimbi Local Municipality was allocated an amount of R34.8 million and R42.2 million respectively, against the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG). The municipality, however, received a reduced allocation of R27.3 million and R13.2 million in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 financial years respectively, due to underspending against the programme. The current year’s MIG allocation in terms of the 2015/16 Division of Revenue Act is R27.2 million. Details of the allocations and spending are provided in Annex A.
  2. The expenditure against MIG was R22.1 million (63.5%); R42.2 million (100%); R6.3 million (23.1%); R5.3 million (40.1%) and R0, respectively, from 2011/12 to 2015/16 financial years. There was no roll-over request for the first two years 2011/12 and 2012/13.

In 2013/14, the municipality requested a roll-over of R18.6 million and only R4.2 million was approved due to the municipality having insufficient funds in their bank account. About R14.4 million was not cash-backed by the municipality and hence the reduced approval of the rollover.

During the 2014/15 financial year, the unspent amount was R7.8 million as disclosed in the pre-audit annual financial statements. From this amount, only R5.8 million was requested to be rolled over. Due to the municipality’s inability to again fully cash-back their unspent conditional grants, only an amount of R3.3 million was approved as this was the balance in their bank account. The inability by the municipality to back up their rollover request with sufficient cash in the bank is an indication of a possible misuse of the conditional grants.

(3) The National Treasury is currently providing support through the Provincial Treasury due to Thabazimbi being a delegated municipality to the province. In the past year, the National Treasury engaged the municipality on numerous occasions regarding their poor performance on the MIG. The National Treasury approved a request by the municipality to repay their unspent 2013/14 MIG in four instalments.

Currently, the National Treasury in consultation with Provincial government and the National department of Cooperative Governance, are in a process of moving the MIG funds to their district (Waterberg District Municipality) due to poor performance. The district will assist the municipality to fast track the implementation and payments of projects that are on the ground.

With regard to the unspent 2014/15 MIG allocation of R4.5 million which has to be paid back to the National Revenue Fund, the National Treasury is considering assisting the municipality in spreading the unspent funds to be paid over a foreseeable period of time. This will be the second consecutive occasion that the municipality would be allowed to pay the unspent grant funds in instalments.

Bagraim, Mr M to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

What is the nature of the intangible assets for which inadequate financial records are being kept and which has been an audit qualification for his department since the 2013-14 financial year?

Reply:

The intangible assets for which inadequate financial records were found, as per the audit findings, are kept electronically in the form of the master register in line with the Electronic Communications and Transaction (ECT) Act 25 of 2002. This is in conformance with paragraph 17(1) under production of document or information which states that subject to section 28 where a law requires a person to produce a document or information, that requirement is met if the person produces, by means of data message, an electronic form of that document or information”.

The intangible assets refer to software applications acquired from external service provider(s), that evinced financial implications for the department during 2013-2014 financial year. The asset register submitted to the auditors excluded professional services and software licences, as the department deemed these to be expenses and therefore should not be capitalised. However the auditors advised otherwise as they regarded these as professional services and developmental costs that must be capitalised.

The qualification audit report is based on the inclusion of the professional services and software licences as per the advice of the Auditor General, whilst the department felt that it should have been excluded due to the irrelevancy in terms of them no longer being in use.

These inclusions meant that the closing balance will be adjusted to reflect the amendments.

(1)With reference to her department’s Early Grade Reading Study project in 150 project schools and 80 control schools in North West, (a) how many (i) schools have been supplied with lesson plans and (ii) grade readers have been trained in the teaching and reading of Setswana, (b) what progress has been made in respect of (i) on-site support programmes to teachers from reading coaches, accompanied by scripted lesson plans and graded reading materials and (ii) packages designed to improve parental involvement in monitoring learning to read; (2) when will the specified programme be rolled out to other provinces?

Reply:

There are three separate interventions, each occurring in a group of 50 schools. Group 1 receives centralized teacher training (2 times 2-day workshops per year), lesson plans and graded readers. All 50 schools received the lesson plans and graded readers. Teacher attendance at the February training session was 60% and it was 84% in July. Group 2 receives the same package of lesson plans and graded readers but instead of centralized training, this group receives on-site coaching and afternoon cluster training sessions held by the coach together with teachers from a small number of nearby schools. All 50 schools have been given the lesson plans and graded readers and have received coaching visits to the school. Teacher attendance rates at the cluster sessions were 100% in Term 2, 82% in Term 3 and 93% in Term 4. The third group of 50 schools receives the parent involvement intervention. In these schools Community Reading Coaches (CRCs) have been recruited and trained to run weekly afternoon sessions open to all grade 1 parents. A total of 30 sessions is scheduled for each year covering a total of 10 topics per year. Each topic has 3 sessions where the topic is the same but the activities of the session differ. Thus a parent can attend roughly 1 in 3 sessions and still be exposed to all topics, while parents who attend more regularly can still enjoy fresh activities. Parent attendance has been a challenge in these schools with attendance rates dropping from 35% for the orientation sessions and Topic 1 to 18% for Topic 4. Creative ways to encourage greater attendance in 2016 will need to be considered.

(2) when will the specified programme be rolled out to the other provinces?NW4566E

After the impact evaluation of the Early Grade Reading Study interventions conclusions will be drawn about the cost-effectiveness of each intervention. The Research Team will then make specific recommendations based on the findings. The final evaluation will be concluded by mid-2017. If one (or perhaps two) of the interventions are found to be cost-effective ways to improve the acquisition of home language reading the DBE will then investigate ways to expand the most cost-effective programme or elements of it in 2018 and/or beyond. This will depend on resource availability, including at provincial education departments who will have to take primary responsibility for implementation.

  • Woodworking
  • Civil services

Electrical Technology specialising on,

  • Power Systems
  • Digital electronics
  • Electronics

and Mechanical Technology specialising on,

  • Automotive
  • Fitting and Machining
  • Welding

The Department of Basic Education (DBE) in conjunction with provinces has also retrained one thousand and thirty (1030) teachers in Technical Mathematics and Technical Sciences.

(b) The schools that will be introducing the new curriculum have been within the recapitalisation programme and therefore been recapitalised with the required resources and teaching spaces. The schools that were not recapitalised are fully equipped and have functional workshops.

(4) Yes, learners will have a choice of offering a combination Technical Sciences and Technical Mathematics.

(5) Yes, the aptitude testing is being considered within the limits of legislation. The reason for this consideration is to determine the learner’s strengths, weaknesses and ability which would provide guidance for schools and educators in advising learners to choose the correct subjects. It will also determine learner’s career paths and could in turn have an impact on the grade 12 pass and failure rate. It would also have an impact on the quality of passes.

Schools could make use of the Educational Operational Services physiologist at district offices and physiologist at schools for learners with special needs.

Figlan, Mr AM to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

Has there been any developments in the promotion of the services of the Government Printing Works to other countries in Africa, or does increased domestic profitability make this less of a priority?

Expanding the security printing services of Government Printing Works (GPW) to other African countries remains a priority for GPW. The Chief Director for Marketing and Stakeholder Relations is responsible for this work and actively seeks out and applies for tenders for security printing such as printing of ballot papers for other African countries.

To provide a perspective on the amounts allocated to cost centres on national and provincial level as well as the different financial years, it is deemed appropriate to provide the following information:

  • National competencies (divisions) comprise inter alia of Forensic Services, Visible Policing, Operational Response Service, Protection and Security Services, Crime Intelligence, Human Resource Development, Human Resource Management, Facilities Management, Supply Chain Management, Legal Services, Financial Management, Technology Management Services, Inspectorate and functions reporting directly to the National Commissioner.
  • Some competencies performed in provinces report directly to divisions and their expenditure vests therefore with such a division. For example, Training Institutions, Crime Intelligence, Forensic Services, Protection and Security Services, National Intervention Units, Task Force, Internal Audit and SAPS garages.
  • The operational budget is apportioned between cost centres which include overtime and capital purchases such as vehicles.
  • Over and above the direct operational budgets of cost centres, some operational items/ aspects are separately funded by the Head Office divisions, i.e. uniform, ammunition, firearms, IT products and services, erection and purchase of new facilities, leasing of facilities and municipal services for all facilities.
  • A comparative interpretation of budget allocations per financial year therefore does not provide context as shifting of functions between provinces and national (divisions) in terms of the organizational structural changes are not discounted over the period.

Grootboom, Mr GA to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

Why has the total number of pages of printed Gazettes by the Government Printing Works not declined significantly since the introduction of the e-Gazette service in 2012?

Reply:

The electronic gazette (E-Gazette) services that the Government Printing Works has introduced focus on two elements of distributing government information. These are:

(i) Electronic processing of notices that the various government departments as well as other private advertiser submit for consolidation into published gazettes, through an E-Gazette system. The size of the gazette is determined by the number of submitted notices – and the increased number of pages in the published[1] gazettes indicates the growth in the notices submitted for publishing.

(ii) The electronic access of gazettes online enabling interested parties to download them from Government Printing Works’ website.

The Government Gazette statistics reported in the Annual Report are of the published editions vs printed copies.

The number of published gazettes’ pages has indeed not declined; and this is due to the increase in notices submitted.

Grootboom, Mr GA to ask the Minister of Home Affairs

Why, with regard to improved operating profit and reserves at the Government Printing Works (GPW), does the GPW not report any major interest earned?

Reply:

The Government Printing Works (GPW), as a government owned business, and a Government Component, must seek permission from National Treasury at the end of each financial year to retain surpluses generated from its operations during that financial year. Once permission is granted the GPW is compelled to bank that surplus in the Paymaster General’s Account, which does not generate interest. It then uses those surpluses in subsequent years to fund the renovation of its facilities, and the purchase of new printing equipment.

(1) (a) The Department of Transport has been using the EQUATE job evaluation system when it was introduced in 1998 by the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA). The system became compulsory from 1999 as prescribed by the Public Service Regulations. The DPSA reviewed this system and in April 2015 introduced the new web-based system called EVALUATE which is now used by all Departments.

(1)(b) There is a component that is charged with the responsibility of managing job evaluations in the Department. The Directorate: Organisational Development and Change Management consists of staff members who have been trained and certified as Job Analysts and Job Evaluation Panelists to use the job grading system. The Department has developed a Job Evaluation Policy and has a functional Job Evaluation Panel that sits regularly to moderate jobs. The Department also makes use of external Job Analysts and Job Evaluation Panel members when necessary to evaluate and moderate certain jobs to maintain the integrity of the system. Organized Labour is invited to sit in the Job Evaluation Panel meetings to ensure transparency and accountability. Both the EQUATE and EVALUATE systems have security features i.e passwords that keep them safe from unauthorized access and use. The Department further keeps records of all the jobs that have been graded and decisions thereof. The Department reports annually through its annual reports on the number of posts that have been evaluated.

Van Der Walt, Ms D to ask the Minister of Social Development

Whether she is aware that Huis Talje Children’s Home for severely physically and mentally handicapped children in Bela-Bela, Limpopo, is owed more than R 600 000 by the provincial Department of Social Development; if not, (a) why not and (b) will her department intervene immediately to assist and expedite the payment of the specified amount?

Reply:

The Provincial Department of Social Development (Limpopo) has engaged Huis Talje Children’s Home (Children’s Home) after it was notified by the Children’s Home that there were funding discrepancies in terms of costing of services. It was noted that a means test was used to determine funding of services rendered by the Children’s Home, instead of applying for service package costing that focuses on the capacity of the Children’s Home. The Children’s Home is currently in possession of a funding letter from the district which indicates the correct funding determination. During the 2015/16 financial year the Children’s Home has already received R321 250 for both the first and second quarter.

The discrepancy has been brought to the attention of the Provincial Department’s finance section, and reconciliations are effected for transferring of funds in the third quarter and will be aligned to the capacity of the Children’s Home.

The funding of Child and Youth Care Centres are determined according to Section 195 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005. Each provincial department determines its own unit cost provided that Children’s Home meets registration requirements.

The Limpopo Provincial Department had determined its unit cost per child at R2 500.00 per month and has a capacity of 66 children. Based on the above information provided, the Provincial Department’s Finance Section is busy with a reconciliation process to determine outstanding funding to be transferred in the third quarter.

Rabotapi, Mr MW to ask the Minister of Public Service and Administration

(1)Whether his department approved the revised organisational organogram of the Northern Cape Department of Education that was submitted to his department for approval; if so, when; if not, (2) did the head of department at the specified education department have the necessary authority based on the revised organogram to (a) appoint an official at a deputy director-general level in 2013 and only advertise the position in 2014 and (b) make several further appointments; (3) what is the current national benchmark for the appointment of a secretary general in a provincial education department?

Reply:

(1) The Minister for Public Service and Administration (MPSA) does not approve organisational structures of departments. The role of the MPSA during the consultation process is to monitor compliance by departments to the relevant organisational design prescripts. The relevant Executive Authorities (EAs) have the authority to approve the organisational structures of their departments after consultation with the MPSA.

The Northern Cape Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Education, submitted a consultation request on the proposed organisational structure to the MPSA on 21 February 2013. The MPSA, on 24 April 2014, concurred with the proposed organizational structure and requested the Department to correctly grade all newly created posts using the Equate Job Evaluation System and to ensure that sufficient funds are available over the medium term prior to commencing with the recruitment process.

(2) The Head of Department derives the necessary authority to approve appointments in his or her department in terms of the approved Delegations from the relevant Executive Authority (EA) to the Head of Department. The Delegations are issued in terms of the Public Service Act and Regulations.

The Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) supports departments in the development of their respective Delegations. However, for the period 2013 there was no obligation for departments to submit their approved set of Delegations to the DPSA, which maintain a register of departments’ Delegations.

(3) The Department of Public Service and Administration is not aware of the existence of the post of secretary general refer to in this question.

(1)Whether, in view of the enormous publicity given in print and on television regarding the 36 000 ghost workers on the payroll of North West, he has ascertained (a) how such an army of ghost workers remained undetected for years and (b) the resultant cost to the taxpayer; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether ghost workers are also drawing salaries and benefits in (a) other (i) provincial and (ii) national departments and (b) municipalities; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) why the Government has failed to (a) undertake annual audits of its employees and (b) run unannounced checks to verify figures; (4) what action has been taken against managers and recipients who have defrauded the state; (5) what measures the Government has in place to run departments efficiently, ethically and economically?

Reply:

  1. The Department of Public Service and Administration is aware of the pronouncements made in the media in relation to 36 000 ghost workers in the North West province. This matter is currently under investigation.
  2. The management and employment of public servants at national and provincial level is managed through a decentralized human resource management framework where Heads of Department and Executive Authorities are responsible for the employment and management of their own employees. Currently Municipal workers do not fall within the ambit of the Public Service’s human resource management framework. Departments’ employee numbers and payroll fall under the purview of the respective Executive Authorities and are audited by the Auditor-General.
  3. Mechanisms for annual audit and verification on the number of government employees are in place. A process of strengthening these mechanisms to mitigate the challenges of ghost employees, amongst others is currently underway, these process include the cleaning up of the PERSAL System.
  4. Fraud and non-compliance to the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 and the Treasury Regulations and other legal prescripts are dealt with through the disciplinary processes.
  5. The Public Finance Management Act, and the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) Outcome 12 amongst others, outlines government’s endeavors to ensure that departments are run efficiently, effectively and economically. Furthermore, government has introduced the National School of Government, which provide training programme to the public servant in order to ensure that these public servants run government departments efficiently, effectively and economically.

(1)Whether his department (a) has done any studies or (b) is in possession of any studies comparing the morale levels of staff in the Public Service with that of staff in the private sector; if not, why not, in each case; if so, (i) what are the findings of the specified studies and (ii) are the specified studies and subsequent findings publicly available; (2) whether the specified findings have identified any shortcomings in the Public Service and in comparison to the private sector; if so, what steps has he taken to improve the morale of staff in the Public Service since the findings of the specified studies were revealed?

The focus of the department currently is largely on building internal capacity within government departments by providing technical support, requisite tools and instruments for effective assessment of employee morale/satisfaction.

  2. The Limpopo Provincial Department could not transfer funds to all assessed Non-Profit Organizations in the Waterberg district, in the 1st quarter: April-June 2015 as they were conducting investigations conducted in the district.

During April 2015, 1096 business plans were audited and comprehensive report compiled. The result of this audit indicated that there were no discrepancies in the assessment process.

Subsequent to the audit, the first and second funding trench was paid out in August 2015 to all affected NPOs in the Waterberg district.

3. Transfers of funds to the non-profit organizations are done quarterly after the reconciliation and relevant organizations are receiving subsidies in line with the business plans and claims submitted to the Department.

(1)Whether any investigation is currently underway and/or was conducted into the non-compliance of municipalities with the Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Act, Act 29 of 2014, in the 2014-15 financial year; if not, why not; if so, which municipalities (a) are being and/or (b) have been investigated; (2) (a) what is the current status of each of the specified investigations and (b) when is it anticipated that the investigations will be completed; (3) what has he found are the causes for the municipalities’ non-compliance with the specified Act; (4) whether he is taking any steps to ensure the compliance of the municipalities with the specified Act; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

  1. In the 2014/15 financial year 40 municipalities were assessed regarding compliance with the rating aspects of the Municipal Property Rates Act (the Act). 29 of the 40 municipalities were found not to be compliant with certain provisions of the Act. These include the requirement for adopting and publishing in the Provincial Gazette the by-law to give effect to the implementation of the municipal rates policy as well as the resolution levying rates (section 6 and 14 of the Act).

The department wrote letters to the 29 of the 40 municipalities that were found to be non-compliant. The letters outlined issues of non-compliance and how those matters should be addressed. Monitoring of municipal progress towards resolution of those matters indicate that as of 9 October 2015, 15 of the 29 previously non-compliant municipalities are now in compliance. The department will continue monitoring municipal compliance with the Act with the objective of addressing non-compliant matters as part of the 2016/17 municipal budget preparation process.

2. Please refer to (1) above and (4) below.

3. From the monitoring and assessments conducted, some of the causes were lack of understanding that Council adopted documents (i.e by-laws to give effect to rates policies and resolution levying rates) must be published in the relevant Provincial Gazette as required by the law. After identifying these kinds of non-compliance, a Circular (with specimen by-law and resolution levying rates) was issued to all municipalities on 10 April 2015.

4. Yes. As already indicated in (1) and (3) above, the department is continuing to monitor municipal compliance with the critical provisions of the Act and where required it provides the necessary guidance. Whilst in the 2014-15 financial year only 40 municipalities were assessed for compliance, for the 2015/16 financial year the number is 152, and this is envisaged to increase to 193 in 2016/17 financial year, and thereafter all municipalities will be assessed on an annually basis. The objective is to institutionalise municipal compliance with critical provisions of the Act.
