(1) Only Eskom in its 2015 Annual Financial Statements reported an amount of R4 million as irregular expenditure relating to the SABC/The New Age business breakfast briefings. This amount was incurred within the contract period but prior to the Board’s ratification. The R4 million amount was only paid over to TNA after the Board’s ratification.

Regarding irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure in general, I am assured that the Boards and Management regularly review the SOCs internal control environment to minimise the risk, and where an incident occurs appropriate measures are taken to deal with the matter, including disciplinary action and/or criminal or civil action against those involved, as considered appropriate. Reporting in respect of financial misconduct has also improved in compliance with the PFMA to ensure that incidents are detected early.

(2)(a) Alexkor, Denel, SAFCOL and SA Express have not entered into an agreement with SABC/The New Age on the business breakfast briefings; Eskom and Transnet have existing contracts.

(2)(b) With regard to Eskom, the SABC/The New Age breakfast briefings contract is R43.2 million, effective 1 May 2014 to 30 April 2017 with 36 briefings planned for the period of the contract. Transnet has contracted for R20 million effective 1 April 2015 to March 2016 with 20 briefings planned for the period. In both SOCs, the Boards have assured me that these agreements have been concluded in line with SOC’s governance processes and that the required approvals are in place.

The Airports Company South Africa SOC Limited (ACSA) has set a strategic objective to increase the contribution of non-aeronautical revenue to total revenue from 37%, as it currently stands, to 55% by 2020.

(a) All non-aeronautical opportunities at one of ACSA’s nine airports, such as retail and advertising opportunities, are subject to an open tender process to ensure that an open, fair, transparent and equitable approach is followed. ACSA does not enter into partnerships for non-aeronautical services other than when the Company bids for concessions outside the Company’s nine airports, where shareholder agreements have been entered into by the Company.

(i) ACSA has a shareholder agreement between with GVK (an Indian conglomerate with diverse interests across various sectors including airports, transportation and energy), and Bidvest, for the concession held by the Company in Mumbai, and Invepar (a Brazilian investment group, which operates in the transportation infrastructure segment in Brazil) for the concession held in Sao Paolo.

(ii) There are no definite planned partnerships which ACSA will enter into in the future.

(b) Presently, the Company has 10% equity holding in the Mumbai concession and a shareholder agreement was signed in 2006. Also, since February 2012 the Company holds 10.2% equity in the Guarulhos Airport, Sao Paolo. ACSA does earn consultancy fees from Guarulhos Airport, which is rendered directly by Company to the Guarulhos Airport.

Whether, with reference to her department's annual report for the 2014-15 financial year, her department has ascertained why each of the 1 321 young and qualified educators under the age of 30 have left the system; if not, why not; if so, what are the reasons, in descending order of prevalence, for young educators leaving the system?

The indicator in question reports on all educators who were terminated on the system regardless of the category of termination. The main categories for this particular indicator are contract expiry (903), resignation (385), and death (22). Nine (9) educators were discharged due to misconduct. The reasons for termination related to resignation, that is, the 385 cases indicated above, are captured on PERSAL. The main reasons in order of prevalence are:

• resigning of position to take up another position either within the sector or in government;
• taking up another position outside the sector for better remuneration or simply changing of occupation; and
• issues about working conditions including personal grievances and nature of work.

(1) Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) were expected to submit their training and implementation plans in respect of the Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support (SIAS) policy by 30 August 2015.

(2) (a)(i) The Department of Basic Education (DBE) does not provide direct funding to PEDs to support the implementation of the SIAS policy and (ii) PEDs are expected to provide a budget to support schools in the implementation of the policy.

(b)(i) The provision of human resources is a provincial competence and therefore the DBE does not provide human resources to PEDs to support the implementation of the policy. PEDs are expected to use their existing resources to implement SIAS, including the use of existing therapist and psychologist posts. (ii) Similarly, PEDs are expected to provide support to schools, including training of teachers, within their existing resources.

(c) The Department will provide support (i) to PEDs and (ii) to schools by developing norms and standards for the implementation of the policy, supplying training materials and programmes, as well as implementation guidelines.

(a)  Markers are currently appointed based on stringent criteria relating to teaching experience and qualification in the subject. In order to be appointed, a marker must have a recognised three year post school qualification, which must include the subject to be marked at second or third year level. The marker must have teaching experience at the Grade 12 level in the subject concerned and must be proficient in the language of teaching and learning. These criteria, together with a report on the performance of the marker as a teacher in the classroom, and his/her performance in previous marking sessions, are strictly applied, thus ensuring that the most suitable educators are appointed.

The Department of Basic Education (DBE) audits the selected list of markers across all Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) to ensure that PEDs comply with these criteria.

The writing of the competency test by markers, if applied, is only an enhancement to the current protocols and criteria for the appointment of markers, and not an essential pre-requisite that, if omitted, has the potential of compromising the marking process. The competency test would have been used to verify the above criteria and was never intended to be the sole criterion for the appointment of markers. Therefore, in the absence of the competency test, which would have merely confirmed the knowledge levels of the markers, there would be no compromise to the marking quality.

(b) The DBE ensures that marking standards are maintained across all PEDs through the following quality control measures :

1. Prior to the marking, a national standardisation meeting is convened at the DBE, which sees the assembly of the chief markers and internal moderators for each subject from each of the provinces. At this meeting, the marking guidelines are discussed extensively and a common understanding of its application is established. This is followed by training of the chief markers and internal moderators, who will take responsibility for the marking in the province.
2. The introduction of the Tolerance Range which ensures that during the moderation process the mark awarded by the moderator and the marker should not vary beyond an agreed range. This ensures that marking standards are strictly controlled to ensure that marking quality is rigidly applied.
3. Markers are also authorised based on an initial sample of scripts that are provided to the marker for marking. These are moderated and only after the marker shows that he/she is capable of complying to the tolerance range, will he/she be allowed to mark.
4. Intensive moderation of marking. Marking at the marking centre is organised based on five tiers of quality control and quality assurance. Scripts are marked by the marker and then moderated by the senior marker, who is in turn overseen by the Deputy Chief Marker and the final quality control is the responsibility of the chief marker. In addition to these four levels of quality management, an internal moderator serves as the final judge of marking standards for that subject at that centre. The DBE and Umalusi will appoint independent external moderators to ensure that external quality checks on the marking process.

No additional norms and standards have been set:

1. The norms and standards currently utilised for the appointment of markers is the criteria specified in the Personnel Administrative Measures.
2. No copies of specified norms and standards will be provided.

It should be noted that the credibility and integrity of the marking process is not at stake or in jeopardy, due to the deferment of the competency test for prospective markers. The procedures and criteria listed above are more than adequate to ensure that the quality of marking is of the highest standard. The DBE will pursue in its endeavours to ensure that the concerns of the social partners are addressed with regard to the competency test, so that this useful tool can be introduced to enhance the marking process.

1.The Prescribed Minimum Benefits under the Medical Schemes Act,131 of 1998 make provision for minimum benefits for people with physical disabilities such as:

(a) Mobility impairments

Included in the PMBs is rehabilitative therapy such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy up to level of functional plateau; i.e. up to a point where no additional significant improvement from continued therapy is reached. No monetary limit is placed rather a therapeutic value threshold is set. This is a critical clinical intervention to improve the mobility of the physically disabled patient. Additionally, equipment to assist with mobility is included in the PMBs such as wheelchairs. This is dependent on the cause of immobility being a consequence of a PMB condition.

(b) Visual impairment

Currently the PMB package only provides for visual aids such corrective optometry devices. If a member suffers a PMB condition which threatens their vision, the PMB entitlements first include interventions that will prevent the visual loss and secondarily, will reverse such any degree of visual impairment. Thus the PMB package with regards to the visual system is predominantly a secondary and tertiary prevention package, and is highly aligned with National Policy (e.g. cataract surgery and treatment algorithms for Glaucoma). With regards to other supportive health technology such as walking sticks for those with complications for PMBs aligned with national policy and included in their management is corrective medical and surgical interventions.

(c) Hearing losses

Preventative care: Common conditions that cause hearing loss are included in the PMB package and their early and effective management is included as PMB level of care. These include early management of otitis media, rupture of eardrums post-trauma or infection etc. Supportive care for hearing loss as a complication of PMBs is not precluded when other means of restoration such as tympanoplasty have failed.

The PMB framework enables Medical Schemes to institute Managed Care principles in order to ensure members of medical schemes have access to quality healthcare at affordable prices. Bringing down the cost of care via these mechanisms would allow for a more equitable disbursement of risk pool funds to both disabled and non-disabled members of medical schemes.

It is important to note that the PMBs are not an exhaustive and comprehensive list. The Medical Schemes Act, however, provides for a regular revision to the PMB package to identify and proactively address some of the current deficiencies. The revised package under consideration contains a preventative and curative components in line with National policy. It further does not neglect wholesale the supportive measures for irreversible disabilities, albeit with plenty of room for improvement. The PMB package revision is a work in progress with an emphasis on trying to bring it into closer alignment with current national priorities and policy.

2. (a) (i) Public hospitals do provide mobility enhancing equipment (assistive technology) to persons with physical disabilities in the form of crutches, walking aids and wheelchairs (manual and motorized),

(ii) Public hospitals do provide refractive services and issue the relevant visual enhancing equipment in the form of spectacles or readers. In certain instances where refractive services are not available in a public facility, arrangements are made for this to be provided by a service provider from an NGO or private sector,

(iii) Public hospitals do provide audiology services which include testing for hearing loss, and fitting and training on the use of hearing aids.

(b) There are no further relevant details.

The Gauteng Department of Health agreed to the relocation of the Hospital subject to the developer undertaking to fund the relocation fully at their own cost. It is the duty of the developer to ensure that all approvals (including but not limited to Environmental Authorisation) are obtained prior to any developments and relocation taking place on the site where the Hospital is currently located. It is assumed that until such time that the developer and the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) and Human Settlements obtain approval to relocate the Hospital, the relocation will not take place.

The Department of COGTA and Human Settlements has since brought to the attention of the Gauteng Department of Health that the developer no longer wished to follow through with terms of relocation as was agreed upon.

1. No, I have not tabled a proposal to Cabinet in respect of free tertiary education.
2. Not applicable.
3. No, Cabinet has not mandated me to work with the National Treasury in preparing a funding model for free tertiary education.

In terms of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, White Paper 3: A programme on Transformation of Higher Education in South Africa of 1997, or the White Paper for Post-School Education and Training of 2013, it is not government’s policy to consider free tertiary education for all. The position has consistently been to ensure affordable university education, support those who cannot afford to pay through financial aid, and progressively introduce free university education for the poor in South Africa.

The National Development Plan affirms this position indicating that:

• all students who qualify for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) must be provided access to full funding through loans and bursaries to cover the costs of tuition, books, accommodation and other living expenses; and
• students who do not qualify for NSFAS should have access to bank loans, backed by State sureties.

In order to support this position, the Department of Higher Education and Training has, in line with the recommendations of the Ministerial Working Group on Fee Free Education for the Poor of 2013, submitted annual bids to National Treasury in 2013, 2014 and 2015 as part of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budget process.

In the 2015 MTEF bid process, the Department focused on the increase required for NSFAS funding to assist financially needy and academically deserving students as identified in the Ministerial Working Group. The emphasis of the bid was to address the need to fully fund all qualifying NSFAS students at university level through Full Cost of Study (FCS) loans, for which an amount of R36.983 billion was requested over the 2016/17 to 2018/19 MTEF period for university students.

The Department has also brought this matter to the attention of the Standing Committee on Appropriations at meetings held on 21 October 2014, 26 May 2015 and 4 November 2015. At the Standing Committee on Appropriations meeting of 4 November 2015, as part of the parliamentary/political process for the finalisation of the 2016 MTEF allocations., requirements of supporting university and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college students through NSFAS loans and bursaries were discussed.

National Treasury attended the Committee meeting and is fully aware of the status of NSFAS funding.

In addition, National Treasury and the Department of Performance, Monitoring and Evaluation are undertaking an Expenditure and Performance Review of the NSFAS, which was initiated in October 2014.

1. The Department provides funding to its institutions based on the mandate of the particular entity. Annually the baseline budgets of entities are adjusted for inflation or cost of living. In addition to the baseline allocations, entities may receive funding (on a needs basis) for capital works projects. Such funds are ring-fenced for capital project(s) only and cannot be used to augment operational budgets.
2. Funding for the implementation of GRAP 103 will be on a needs basis. Each entity has been requested to cost its funding requirements for the implementation of the GRAP 103. The costing exercise conducted by the forum of the CFOs of DAC public entities revealed that the costs of implementation include valuation costs, human resources costs, IT costs and security costs. Entities have submitted their respective budgets for the implementation of GRAP 103 and will receive funding based on the availability of resources.
3. As mentioned in 2 above, the costing exercise conducted by the forum of the CFOs of DAC public entities revealed that the costs of full implementation include valuation costs, human resources costs, IT costs and security costs. All the entities were appraised of these costs and were requested to incorporate them in their respective GRAP 103 costing or budgeting exercises. As such the budgets requests are inclusive of all costs relating to the implementation of GRAP 103.

Bosasa is a duly registered business with PSIRA. It is true that it is also providing security services at OR Tambo International Airport and they make use of camouflage uniform.

We have never had specific engagement with Bosasa regarding the wearing of camouflage uniform.

Bosasa uniform does not constitute any contravention regarding wearing of uniform. Wearing uniform is regulated in terms of Regulation 13 of the Act. Particularly regulation 13(7)(b) provides as follows:

(7)…Any security service provider who…

(b) without legal justification wear a uniform badge or insignia identical to, so closely resembling a uniform, badge or insignia of the South African Police Service, South African Defence Force, the Department of Correctional Services or any other Law enforcement agency or service established in terms of law, as to be calculated to deceive, is guilty of an offence and an conviction liable to a fine or imprisonment for a period not exceeding 24 months.

Bosasa’s camouflage uniform is per attached Annexure and it does not violate regulations.

In the event Bosasa, at some stage or another, used uniform in violation of regulation 13 it has since complied voluntarily – see Annexture below.

1. No. There is no investigation underway or conducted.

What we regard as important to make a positive change in terms of municipal compliance is instilling culture of compliance with the critical provisions of the Act. This will be an on-going rather than a once-off process. In this regard, the department wrote letters to the relevant municipalities outlining issues of non-compliance and how those matters should be addressed, and it would continue monitoring municipal progress towards resolution of those matters.

2. Not applicable.

3. From the monitoring and assessments conducted, some of the causes were lack of understanding that until certain Council adopted documents (i.e by-laws to give effect to rates policies and resolution levying rates) are published in the relevant Provincial Gazette as required by the law, there is no full compliance with the law.

4. Yes. As already indicated in (1) above, the department is continuing to monitor municipal compliance with the critical provisions of the Act and where required it would provide the necessary guidance. In this regard, in the 2015/16 financial year the department would follow-up with those municipalities that were identified as having been non-compliant, with a view to rectifying those matters with respect of the 2016/17 municipal budget preparation process.

Government is currently building the capacity of economic regulators, who play a vital part in allocation of scarce resources, price-setting in monopoly markets and regulating conduct.

The BRICS Conference on Inclusive Growth and Competition held in November 2015, brought together economic regulators from the five BRICS countries as well as from elsewhere on the continent and from developed countries, to share experiences and insights.

As part of the work with regulators, we will be exploring the possibility of further consolidation of regulators and balance the specialist expertise that may be located within sector regulators with the broader economic and legal capacity that the competition authorities have built up over the years.

1. (a) The 2014/15 District Health Barometer provides information regarding deaths from diarrhoea, pneumonia and Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) amongst children under five years of age. (see below) is taken from the District Health Barometer. The table shows that the number of deaths due to these conditions, as well as the associated case fatality rates (the proportion of children who are admitted to hospital who die during that admission), have declined substantially since 2009/10.

Table 1: Deaths and case fatality rates from diarrhoea, pneumonia and SAM in children under five years of age, 2009/10 – 2014/15[1]

	Diarrhoea	Pneumonia	SAM
	No. of deaths	Case Fatality Rate	No. of deaths	Case Fatality Rates	No. of deaths	Case Fatality Rates
2009/10	3 008	7.1%	2 769	6.6%	2 345	19.3%
2010/11	2 558	7.0%	2 287	5.8%	2 114	16.4%
2011/12	1 550	4.6%	1 796	4.2%	1 605	13.3%
2012/13	1 526	4.3%	1 395	3.8%	1 642	12.7%
2013/14	1 775	3.9%	1 532	3.5%	1 672	11.3%
2014/15	1 513	3.3%	1 411	2.9%	1 852	11.6%

(i) All public sector hospitals report on the number of deaths from these conditions amongst children under five years of age on a monthly basis. The Department uses these numbers to identify provinces, districts and hospitals with a high number of deaths or high case fatality rates, so that remedial action can be taken.

Deaths from these conditions were from all provinces during 2013/14 and 2014/15 are shown in . Deaths from diarrhoea declined in all provinces except Limpopo and Mpumalanga, and deaths from pneumonia declined in all provinces except Gauteng. Deaths from SAM increased in a number of provinces, and in the country as a whole. As noted in the District Health Barometer, this may reflect better identification of cases, but needs to be carefully monitored. The Department is currently implementing strategies to reduce the number of deaths from SAM.

Table 2: Deaths in children under-five years from diarrhoea, pneumonia and SAM by province for 2013/14 and 2014/15[2]

	Deaths as a result of:
	Diarrhoea	Pneumonia	SAM

Western Cape	12	12	27	18	14	32
South Africa	1 775	1 513	1 532	1 411	1 762	1 852

(ii) The numbers of child deaths by category of hospital during 2014/15 are shown in . The majority of deaths occur in district hospitals (which account for the majority of hospitals). Departmental interventions to improve quality of care therefore focus predominantly on these hospitals.

Table 3: Deaths in children under five years of age from diarrhoea, pneumonia and SAM by category of hospital for 2014/15[3]

	Deaths as a result of:
	Diarrhoea	Pneumonia	SAM
National Central Hospitals	53	116	25
Provincial Tertiary Hospitals	115	93	96
Regional Hospitals	343	404	513
District Hospitals	987	789	1 202
Totala	1 498	1 402	1 836

a Totals are slightly lower than in Table 2 as a small number of deaths are reported from Primary Health Care facilities

(b) Diarrhoea and pneumonia result from infections. Children with weakened immune systems (due to undernutrition or other conditions such as HIV infection) are more likely to acquire these infections, which are in turn more likely to be severe (and result in hospitalisation and/or death). Children whose nutritional intake is less than their nutritional requirements are at risk of developing severe acute malnutrition; this often results from a combination of poor food intake (due to unavailability of food and/or poor feeding) and repeated infections.

(c) The reduction in the number of deaths in children due to diarrhoea, pneumonia and SAM can be attributed to implementation of the following child survival interventions:

• Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV.
• Inclusion of pneumococcal and rotavirus vaccines in the routine immunisation programme. In 2014/15, 89.8% of children under one year of age had received all the recommended immunisations.
• Promotion of breastfeeding as outlined in the Tshwane Declaration which commits the country to promoting breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. In 2014/15, 45.1% of children were reported to be exclusively breastfed at 14 weeks of age. This represents a substantial improvement, but further improvements are required.
• Provision of micronutrients through food fortification and Vitamin A supplementation. In 2014/15, 52.2% of children aged 1 – 5 years received the recommended two doses of supplementary Vitamin A.
• Monitoring of the growth of children using the Road-to-Health booklet and ensuring that children with growth faltering and mild or moderate malnutrition receive nutritional supplements.
• Correct management of children with diarrhoea, pneumonia and SAM at all levels of the health system. District Clinical Specialist Teams have been appointed in all districts. One of their key functions is to ensure the quality of clinical care provided in health facilities.
• Promotion of hand washing: the Health Promotion Directorate is currently implementing a hand-washing campaign.

2. Many other departments and stakeholders are involved in efforts to improve child survival and health.

Two of the most important departments are the Departments of Social Development (DSD) and the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS). DSD has led the development of the Early Childhood Development policy, and also ensures that vulnerable children receive child support grants. The DWS plays a critical role in improving access to clean water and sanitation for children and their families.

The Department also works with a range of partners. These include United Nations Agencies (e.g. the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO)), other technical assistance partners (e.g. Save the Children, PATH, FH360), academic and research institutions (e.g. the Medical Research Council) and private sector partners (e.g. Discovery Health).

I intend to introduce legislation to further strengthen our efforts to tackle anti-competitive practices which impose unnecessary costs on consumers, undermine industrial policy objectives and reduce the competitiveness of the economy. The Department has undertaken work on the scope of the amendments required, using the jurisprudence and the experience of the competition authorities to identify weaknesses or gaps in the legal framework. We are holding discussions and consultations with relevant parties to enable the drafting process to be completed as soon as possible. A Bill will be published on completion of the process.

Agreements reached with food manufacturers -

(a) The Department of Health is working closely with the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA), which is an organization where various groups of the food industry are affiliated. Through this collaboration the food industry have committed to support the drive by Government to reduce the prevalence of Obesity. The need to reformulate some food products was identified as one of the priority areas. In this regard, it is imperative to identify the ultra processed, frequently consumed foods in South Africa and to do this. the CGCSA and the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) South Africa, have commissioned a Dietary Intake Study which aims to identify these foods and beverages to target them for reformulation.

Furthermore, the Department promulgated the regulations relating to reduction of sodium in certain foodstuffs and related matters (R214) in 2013. It is stipulated in the Regulations, that as of 2016, there should be reduction of sodium content in various foodstuffs until the desired nutrient levels are reached in 2019.

(b) The Department of Health also collaborates with the Food Legislation Advisory Group (FLAG) which comprise of the industry, academia, research institutes and nutrition professional bodies. This collaboration has resulted in the development of a Nutrient Profile Model (NPM) for South Africa to provide a scientific evidence-based approach to determine the eligibility of foods to carry nutrient and health claims on their labels in South Africa. This Nutrient Profile calculator is a user-friendly electronic tool which has been made available to assist manufacturers on the formulation of new products or reformulation of their products where necessary and when they intend to make health or nutrition claims.

All offenders have a right to be considered for placement upon completion of the required minimum detention period, irrespective of their social standing. Offenders who meet the set criteria for consideration of parole will have their placement approved irrespective of whether they have money or not.

Legal representation is not a prerequisite for consideration for parole, medical parole or correctional supervision as such offenders who cannot afford legal representatives are not disadvantaged during consideration for placement. In fact offenders do not have to apply for consideration for placement on parole or under correctional supervision as they are automatically identified as and when they become eligible for consideration.

The two of the three mentioned individuals were both sentenced in terms of section 276(1)(i) of the Criminal Procedure Act, Act 51 of 1977. In line with the provisions of section 73(7)(a) of the Correctional Services Act, 1998 (Act No. 111 of 1998, they , like all other offenders sentenced under the same provisions, qualified to be considered for placement under correctional supervision after serving 1/6 of sentence. There are a number of other offenders who have been placed under correctional supervision after serving 1/6 of their sentences who have not received media attention.

One of the three mentioned individuals was placed on parole on medical grounds on 3 March 2009 in terms of the provisions of Section 79 of the Correctional Services Act, Act No. 111 of 1998, before it was amended. Therefore, he was considered in terms of the then applicable legislation. The medical parole legislation was reviewed and Section 14 of the Correctional Services Amendment Act, Act No. 5 of 2011, which introduced the new medical parole system, came into effect on 01 March 2012.

Parole, medical parole or correctional supervision does not remit the sentence meted out by a court in that offenders placed out, either on parole, medical parole or correctional supervision, are expected to serve the remainder of their sentences in the community under close supervision of officials of the Department of Correctional Services until expiry of their sentences.

(2)(a)(b) The average reaction time for rural and urban rural stations is still under consideration as Organizational Development is currently busy finalising the system design and capturing of information on the efficiency index system which will assist in determining the average reaction time for the identified areas. The system will also assist in determining the distances to be travelled by the response vehicles while attending to Alpha, Bravo and Charlie Complaints.
