Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

Whether his department has evaluated the number of requests from citizens and organizations to the Public Protector to investigate complaints of the abuse of authority from 1 September 2010 to 31 August 2015, in order to (a) pick out the common threads and deal with it systemically through legislative reform, (b) draw the attention of the President, Mr Jacob G Zuma, and the national executive to deal with such abuse of power, (c) work with the Minister of Police to ensure that hotspots of corruption in the Government are regularly and systematically investigated and transgressors prosecuted to maintain the confidence of citizens in the Government, (d) work with the Minister of Finance and the Auditor-General to ensure that better systems are put in place to prevent the serial and large-scale abuse of state funds and resources by rogue elements in the Government and (e) determine how best to provide the Public Protector’s Office with adequate resources in order to meet the avalanche of requests for the specified office to investigate; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

(a), (b), (c) and (d):

As the Honourable member is aware, in terms of section 181(3) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, all organs of state, through legislative and others measures, must assist and protect all the institutions supporting constitutional democracy, including the Public Protector, to ensure the independence, impartiality, dignity and effectiveness of these institutions.

It is, therefore, the responsibility of all organs of state, including the President, the national executive and Government, as referred to by the Honourable member, to evaluate the number of requests from citizens and organisations to the Public Protector to investigate the complaints of the abuse of authority from 1 September 2010 to 31 August 2015, in order to act upon it as indicated in paragraphs (a) to (d) of the Honourable member’s question.

In view of the above, I would kindly advise the Honourable member to scrutinize the relevant findings in all the Public Protector’s reports during the period in question and if necessary address his questions to the organs of state concerned.

As far as could be ascertained from the reports of the Public Protector during the period in question, there were no requests from citizens and organisations to the Public Protector to investigate complaints of the abuse of authority against the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development and it was therefore not necessary for the Department to act upon it as indicated in paragraphs (a) to (d) of the Honourable member’s question.

(e) Government has been supportive of the Public Protector’s requests for increasing its investigative capacity as is evident by the significant increase in its budget allocation throughout the previous Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) periods. The Honourable member may also be aware that Parliament approved the revised organizational structure of the Public Protector comprising of 420 posts in the 2012/2013 financial year. At the time, the Public Protector was advised by my colleague the Minister of Finance to develop a multi-year implementation plan to ensure that critical posts are prioritized and filled within the medium term expenditure framework allocations. During his 2015 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement on 21 October 2015, the Minister of Finance also indicated that the Public Protector will receive an additional allocation to address capacity challenges.

It should also be noted that within the current economic climate it is expected of all institutions supporting constitutional democracy, including the Public Protector, to work together to determine how to deal with matters in a more economic, cost effective and efficient manner and to ensure that there is no duplication as it relates to their mandates.

The Honourable member may further be aware, that the National Assembly is still seized with the report of the Ad hoc Committee on the Review of Chapter 9 and associated Institutions often referred to as the Kader Asmal report. This report contains a number of recommendations that may have far-reaching implications for the institutions supporting constitutional democracy, including the Public Protector. The Speaker of the National Assembly recently convened a workshop of relevant stakeholders in order to exchange views and to finalize the National Assembly’s position in order to help Parliament to adopt the report.

With all the above in mind and given our limited resources, it is my view that the Public Protector should be able to execute its mandate and deliver on its core business responsibilities within the budget allocation and assistance that was provided for by Government.

Reply:

I wish to inform the Honourable Member that yes, I and the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development have received a communication from the Legal Attaché of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in South Africa in this regard.

(a) During June 2015, the Legal Attaché (FBI) in South Africa, forwarded a letter to the Department, attaching a copy of an indictment related to the FIFA matter.

(b) The purpose of the letter was to bring the contents of the indictment under the attention of the Department. It was also stated in the letter that the FBI was looking forward to the continued partnership between the FBI, the American Department of Justice and the South African Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.

The Department submitted the letter to me in a memorandum, informing me of the contents of the letter as well as the indictment. I was also informed that a formal request for assistance has not yet been received from the American authorities. I noted the contents of the memorandum, including the indictment, and forwarded copies of the indictment to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Corruption, the Minister of Sport and Recreation, the Department of International Relations and Cooperation and the Chairperson of the Anti-Corruption Task Team (ACTT).

Esterhuizen, Mr JA to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs

Who is paying for the consumption of 28,2% of electricity that is purchased and distributed by the City of Johannesburg and lost through illegal connections amounting to R2,5 billion in monetary value?

Reply:

The following information was provided by City Power Johannesburg:

The electricity distribution industry is characterised by distribution losses, and categorised into technical and non-technical losses.

Technical losses represent the energy lost when transmitted and distributed through overhead lines, transformers and cables to reach the customer, while non-technical losses represent losses due to theft of electricity, unbilled and incorrectly billed customers, Large Power Users illegally converted to pre-paid mode, vandalism and bypassing of meters and illegal connections.

The 28,2% losses with a monetary value of R2,5 billion refers to the 2013/14 financial year, and reflects the total distribution losses, technical and non-technical. Technical losses are calculated at 9% and non-technical losses are the difference between the total distribution and the technical losses.

For the 2014/15 financial year the total distribution losses was reduced to 18,63% with technical losses at 9% and non-technical losses at 9,63% amounting to R1,524 billion.

The City of Johannesburg annually makes budget provision for the purchase of electricity and the sale thereof and due to non-technical losses, the actual sales is less than the budget. The City of Johannesburg therefor pays for the non-technical losses.

Whether her department meets the Government’s 2% employment equity target for the employment of persons with disabilities that was set in 2005; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

No;

The Department does not meet the 2% Employment Equity target at present.

The Department acknowledges that achieving disability equity is imperative to the transformational agenda set by the Constitution (1996), the White Paper on Affirmative Action (1998) and other subsequent legislations.

Employees with Disabilities make up to 1.4 % (percent) of employees in the Department. The low representation of person with disabilities in the Department emanate from the rule that disability disclosure is done on a voluntary basis.

Concreted efforts are been made to allow persons with disabilities to apply for position in the Department and to apply for positions in the Department and encourage those that are within to disclose their disabilities status in order to meet or exceed the required 2% targets.

Reply:

  1. Cash-paying patients, i.e those with no medical aid are classified according to UPFS (Uniform Patient Fee Schedule).

Patients in H1 category paying nothing.

Patient in H2 paying part of the fee and patient in H3 category pay full hospital fees.

2. When a patient on medical aid utilises public health facilities, they are not required to pay only extra cash above what the medical aid pay for them.

3. Honourable Member, death of a patient due to a deliberate action by employees and/or management of state hospitals to me means murdering such a patient – that is what deliberate action will mean to me.

We have never had a report of such.

4. Since the various litigations are directed at provinces and not at the Minister, and payments are done by provinces, I am still collecting this data.

5. Honourable Member, it will to a long way for you to be a bit specific about the deaths you are referring to, in order to help me answer your question.

Number of deaths from what? HIV/AIDS? TB? Pneumonia? Diarrhoea? Diabetes, Stroke, Cancer? Hepatitis? Meningitis? Heart failure? Liver failure? Prematurity?

And what type of injuries – motor vehicle accidents? Gunshots wounds? Assault? Stab wounds? Burn wounds? What exactly?

It is only in April this year that National Treasury has started funding it directly from the fiscus rather than through the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) as it were. But the training of Registers and reconstructive surgery is definitely going on.

Reply:

I wish to inform the Honourable Member that I have been informed by the South African Human Rights Commission, that yes, the Commission has made follow-ups in this regard.

I have furthermore been informed that following numerous correspondences (including a letter in February 2015) sent to the Municipality requesting an update on the implementation of the recommendations in the report, the Municipality appealed the Commission’s findings.

In September 2015, the Office of the Chairperson of the South African Human Rights Commission dismissed the Municipality’s appeal and the provincial office is now engaging the Municipality with a view to obtain the Municipality’s time-framed implementation plan aimed at effecting the recommendations in the report.

What reasons will the South African Government provide the Assembly of States for non-compliance with the International Criminal Court order to arrest President, Mr Omar Al-Bashir?

Reply:

The South African Government has requested the International Criminal Court for an extension of the time-limit to submit our view on the events surrounding Omar Al Bashir’s attendance of the African Union Summit in Johannesburg from 13 to 15 June 2015, until such time as the ongoing judicial proceedings before the South African Courts are finalized.

The Pre- Trial Chamber of the ICC has granted an extension and has ordered the competent authorities in the Republic of South Africa to report to the Chamber on any developments in the judicial proceedings as they occur; and should no such developments occur prior to 15 December 2015, to submit a report detailing the status of the relevant domestic judicial proceedings not later than 31 December 2015.

The Honourable Member’s request for reasons is therefore premature.

NW4362E

Reply:

The provincial department of agriculture in the Eastern Cape called the Department of Rural Development and Agrarian reform has reported that R1.9 million was paid to Magwa tea plantation for the workers’ salaries in 2015/16. The province has indicated that this amount is what they could afford in the current financial year but there is a huge backlog. This project is funded through the equitable share and was never funded through the conditional grants. The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) has been informed that a business rescue plan has been developed which indicates that at least R66 million is needed to turnaround the business, this figure includes outstanding payments due to workers. The DAFF welcomes the business rescue plan and will set up a team to verify this report by the province and determine the actual outstanding payments to workers as well as support the province in its bid to get additional funding to support the project. It is stated that the business is currently not profitable and no assurances can be made for workers to be paid their salaries on time under current situation.

Ollis, Mr IM to ask the Minister of Health

(a) How does (i) his department and (ii) entities reporting to him define red tape and (b) what (i) specific interventions and/or (ii) systems have been implemented to (aa) identify and (bb) reduce red tape in (aaa) his department and (bbb) the entities reporting to him?

Reply:

a) As the Department we understand Red tape as set of processes/ systems that requires excessive formality or routine to perform or execute functions that impediments the department to achieve its set objectives within a reasonable time period.

b) (i) The department holds monthly management meetings to address all challenges faced by the department. Furthermore, there are Forums in place and functional i.e. Chief Financial Officers Forums, Technical Advisory Committee to National Health Council and National Health Council.

(ii) (aa) (bb) (aaa) The Department has approved policies in place and fully implemented, are in line with national policies and regulations. The department has management tracking system register in place and fully functional to track and reduce the red tapes.

The public entities reporting to the Minister of Health defines red tape as follows:

  • The Office of Health Standards Compliance: excessive regulation of external stakeholders (health establishments) and internal business operations which hinders flexibility in the business operations of the regulated stakeholders and internal business operations of the entity.
  • The National Health Laboratory Service: excessive regulation and bureaucratic practices which hinder timeous decision making.
  • The South African Medical Research Council: there is no legal / public policy instrument that gives an official meaning to the concept of “red tape”. However, the general understanding is that the concept would refer to an “unnecessary delay”.

- The Council for Medical Schemes: excessive regulation as well as rigid conformity to formal policies and procedures and as bureaucratic processes between the entity and the Executive Authority.

(b) (i) The specific interventions and/or (ii) systems implemented to identify (aa) and (bb) reduce red tape in the (bbb) entities reporting to the Minister of Health are as follows:

  • The Office of Health Standards Compliance (OHSC): Regulates health establishments in the country through regulations which get processed for promulgation by involving stakeholders through publication of the draft regulations for public comments to identify through comments received, any provisions in the draft regulations which may be considered Red Tape by stakeholders. Review of the comments received provide the OHSC an opportunity to identify and reduce “red tape” by ensuring that provisions in the regulations allow for flexibility in how the regulated stakeholders conduct their business, but without compromising on the compliance requirements (public protection) to ensure quality in the provision of health services by health establishments.

Internally OHSC also has policies in place which provide guidance in terms of how decisions should be made to avoid “red tape”. The policies go through a rigorous process of review by OHSC governance structures (Management and Board Committees) before approval by the Board as the ultimate Accounting Authority. This review process is meant to ensure that any provisions in the policies of the entity which may be considered “red tape” are identified and reduced by considering flexible ways for decision making. The OHSC has a delegation of authority policy which also assists in dealing with “red tape” by ensuring that operational decisions are left for management to take and that only strategic decisions are reserved for the Board.  

  • The National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS): The NHLS Board has clear mandate as outlined in the NHLS Act and Board Charter. These instruments allow the Board and Executives to make decisions within the confines of the delegated powers and authority. Issues requiring Ministerial approval are referred to the Department in writing and feedback is received timeously.
  • The South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC): Due to the lack of legal / authoritative premise to support the concept, the SAMRC does not have a standing policy on identifying “red tape”. However, the SAMRC has the internal policies that guide it on delivering its mandate and engagements with other health / science cluster entities or with the ministry or the departments.

In particular, among others, the SAMRC uses the following processes to ensure that no unnecessary delays result from any of the SAMRC processes:

  • A review of the key processes to identify bottlenecks and areas that can be improved from an efficiency perspective without compromising compliance with the relevant legislation; and
  • Feedback from customers and staff.

The following interventions have been introduced to reduce delays”:

  • Automated processes wherever possible to speed up transaction times and reduce manual intervention;
  • The coordination of key processes in a shared services environment to ensure processes are consistent and as efficient as possible;
  • Automated help desks in areas such as IT, facilities, finance and supply chain management to enable staff and customers to communicate problems quickly and enable their resolution to be tracked; and
  • Service level agreements for departments with target turnaround times for services provided which are tracked and published to staff and customers.

Laws such as the Inter-governmental Relations Framework Act, existence of the Research Ethics Committee as well as the Significance and Materiality Framework agreed between the SAMRC and the Ministry of Health in terms of the Public Finance Management Act, form part of the regulatory regime the SAMRC utilises to manage its engagements.

  • The Council for Medical Schemes (CMS): The CMS develops Memorandum of Understanding with entities it works with and departments within the CMS, this allows for more efficient processes to be followed. Policies and procedures are presented to the different governance structures within CMS where the policies are interrogated to ensure that they are not cumbersome and that CMS is able to carry out its mandate with minimal amount of “red tape”, it allows for flexibility without compromising CMS in terms of compliance with relevant legislation. Through its risk management process CMS is able to identify key areas where there are delays in processes that may hinder CMS in executing its mandate. Automated processes e.g. Real time monitoring of schemes financials have been introduced to stakeholders to allow for submission of regulatory information with as little “red tape” as possible. CMS deals with the Executive Authority through the office of the Health Regulation and Compliance division at the National Department of Health (NDoH) and further a task team has been established between CMS and NDoH in order to promote communication to avoid unnecessary “red tape”.

In respect of the respect of the recent presidential pardons granted to political prisoners, what are the relevant details of the rehabilitative and reintegrative steps and procedures that are in place to assist those who have received such pardon to successfully reintegrate back into the society?

Reply:

A Special Dispensation was adopted on 21 November 2007 following an announcement by the President addressing a Joint Sitting of Parliament in order to facilitate the granting of Presidential pardon for individuals who have committed offences they believe were in pursuit of political objectives in terms of section 84 (2) (j) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. On 19 January 2008 the President announced the appointment of a Reference Group that will consider applications for pardoning and to advise the President of the "special process" for the pardoning. The Reference Group and the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development handled and managed the administration of the process. After consultation with the office of the President, the department has resuscitated this process and it is now at an advanced stage. However, it should be emphasized that only those individuals who applied for the presidential pardon are currently considered by a Ministerial Task Team.

At this stage it can be confirmed that no presidential pardons were granted to sentenced offenders. However, offenders in the above mentioned category who qualifies in terms of the normal parole placement policy are considered for parole placement and only those who comply with all requirements are released on parole. The Ministerial Task Team ensured that offenders who applied in terms of the Special Dispensation and still incarcerated have done the following programs to prepare them for eventual parole release:

  • Life skills with social workers (orientation, defining of self- image, completion of collage presentation, self-knowledge and self- acceptance , development , motivation, future planning).
  • Life skills with psychologists
  • Pre-release (health education, financial management, relationships, restorative justice, finding employment, parole conditions, substance abuse relapse prevention)
  • Cross roads
  • Substance abuse
  • Anger in anger out
  • Heart lines
  • Restorative justice / VOD / VOM
  • Recreational programs
  • Spiritual care
  • Hope Foundation: purple ribbon for peace: (conflict analysis, emotional planning, active listening, assertiveness, problem solving, negotiation, mediation)

Whether, in light of the trauma suffered by mothers of still-born babies who are not allowed to bury their babies if they are born at 26 weeks or younger and do not survive (details furnished), (a) his department is aware of this consequence of the existing legislation and (b) he intends to introduce amendments to current legislation that regulates the disposal of medical waste; if not, why not, in each case; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?

Reply:

(a)-(b) We are aware of the provisions of the Births and Deaths Registrations Act (Act No 51 of 1992), which is the responsibility of the Department of Home Affairs. According to the Act a death below 26 weeks of intrauterine life, is not classified as a still-birth and thus does not qualify to receive a death certificate. Midwives and doctors provide counselling to the mother and her partner to come to terms with the still-birth and refer them for further counselling should this be necessary.

Esterhuizen, Mr JA to ask the Minister of Energy

In light of the recent unveiling of the R150m clean energy power plant by Anglo American Platinum to reduce its reliance and draw on the national energy grid thus reducing demand for electricity from Eskom, has she considered promoting the specified kind of self-help and self-reliance strategy to other mining organisations and industries as this would greatly assist in reducing supply side shortages of electricity; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

The electricity Regulation Act permits generation for own use (under schedule 2). This greatly assists in reducing demand for those entities like Anglo Platinum, that are able to provide their own power instead of relying on Eskom.

Whether, given the current challenge of the shortage of police officers, he will consider the shortening of the recruitment process of police officers to deal with the specified shortage; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

The South African Police Service received criticism in the past on the poor quality of police recruits. The Recruitment Strategy for the recruitment of new police officers was therefore revised to strengthen the recruitment processes with a focus on quality than quantity and to professionalise the Police Service in terms of the National Development Plan, Vision 2030. The new process included in the Strategy includes the following:

  • Targeted recruitment (Community consultation / vigorous marketing and advertising of posts)
  • Segregation of functions related to the Strategy
  • Integrity Testing
  • Grooming Camps
  • Publishing of names of applicants in the media for public comment
  • Presentation of applicants to the communities for inputs / comments
  • Recruitment Board (to involve both internal and external stake-holders in the final decision of recommended candidates)

The recruitment strategy currently in place is continuously subjected to review informed by operational challenges and demands of the organization.

What are the detailed reasons for Denel’s acquisition of BAE Land Systems SA, which led to Denel exhausting its cash reserves; (2) what has been the detailed, real impact of the specified acquisition on the financial status of Denel; (3) will Denel’s exhaustion of cash reserves affect its employees and contractors; if so, what will the extent of this impact be; (4) will all (a) employees and (b) suppliers be paid on time and in full; (5) what total amount is owed by Denel to its contractors?

Reply:

(1) Cash Reserves

  1. The impression that the acquisition of Land System South Africa (LSSA) by Denel led to the exhaustion of Denel’s cash reserves is not correct. The acquisition was funded separately from Denel’s cash reserves. The acquisition is fully financed by financial institutions and has had no impact on the cash reserves of Denel.

Strategic Relevance of LSSA

i. LSSA is of critical sovereign importance to the country from a national security point of view, as the company is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and continues to support and maintain all strategic military vehicles and some landward logistical equipment of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). These vehicles include the Olifant Main Battle Tank (weapon platform and turret); Ratel; Rooikat Platform; Samil logistic trucks; Casspir; Mamba; Hornet; G6 Platform and Floatable Foldable Bridging Systems (FFB).

ii. Secondly, acquiring LSSA into a state owned company such as Denel was logical for purposes of securing the design and manufacturing capability

iii. In addition, LSSA has a proven track record for financial self-sustainability through its renowned diversified market portfolio incorporating key strategic export markets which the Denel Group can leverage on.

Capabilities

i) The world class level 4 capability of LSSA, together with the world class level 5 systems integration capability of Denel, will open new markets for the design and production of multi-purpose armoured vehicles.

(2)

  • The immediate impact is the increase in total assets with the acquired asset of R855 million with a contra increase in Liabilities by the loan funding that asset of R855 million. There is therefore no impact on the net asset value, nor cash reserves of the company. The acquisition of LSSA is supported by a robust business case, which is expected to increase the net asset value of Denel by approximately R1 billion after payments of the loans and interest in the next 3 years.
  • Since the acquisition by Denel, LSSA has signed contracts to the value of about R1.5bn which are now in execution phase. Within a period of less than 6 months since the acquisition, LSSA‘s prospects have substantially increased from the business case Denel used to value the business. Therefore, Denel is convinced that the acquisition is complementary to its current business and makes good business sense.

(3) No cash exhaustion as a result of the acquisition has occurred. Denel’s cash balance as at the end of September 2015 is R1.4 billion (including the ring-fenced cash).

(4)

  • All employees have always been and will continue to be paid on time.
  • Denel’s order book has grown to levels that result in sales coverage of not less than 7 years. The order book level implies an average growth (year on year) of no less than 12% and as a normal course of business, organisations in this growth cycle will occasionally experience some normal day to day cash challenges. Denel continues to pay its suppliers on a daily basis. The SOC has entered into deferment agreements with a core of about 10% of its suppliers.

(5) As 30 September 2015, Denel owed contractors and/or suppliers an amount of R390 million. To date, Denel has paid an amount of R205 million. There are deferment agreements with the suppliers who have not yet been paid.

What is the status of the report compiled by a certain person (name and details furnished) into the business practices of a certain bank (name furnished); (2) will (a) a summary of the specified report or (b) the full report be made public in order to allow victims of reckless lending practices to seek recourse in accordance with the National Credit Act, Act 34 of 2005; if not, why not; (3) has a copy of the specified report been furnished to the National Director of Public Prosecutions, as required by the Banks Act, Act 94 of 1990; if so, what progress has been made in instituting criminal charges as a result of the contents of the specified report; (4) what (a) recommendations did the specified report make to the (i) National Treasury, (ii) National Credit Regulator, (iii) Registrar of Banks, (iv) Financial Services Board and (v) SA Reserve Bank and (b) progress has been made in implementing the specified recommendations in each case?

Reply:

1. The investigation by Advocate Myburgh has been conducted on African Bank Limited at the request of the Registrar of Banks in terms of section 69A of the Banks Act 94 of 1990. The Registrar has informed me that the investigation, which commenced after 30 August 2014, was completed and a copy of the report in terms of section 69A(11) of the Banks Act was provided by the Registrar to the office of the Minister of Finance on 27 February 2015.

2. In terms of section 69A(13) of the Banks Act, the report on such an investigation is private and confidential unless the Registrar of Banks (Registrar), after consultation with the Minister, either generally or in respect of any part of the report, directs otherwise. In this instance both the Registrar and I are of the view that the report should be made public after the Registrar has completed a process of inviting persons referred to in the report to make representations relating to the report. This process is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

3. No, as the Banks Act (section 69A (12)) only compels the Registrar and Minister to inform the National Director of Public Prosecutions to the extent that the findings identify that a crime has been committed or ‘it appears that any business of such bank was carried on recklessly or negligently or with the intent to defraud depositors or other creditors or for any other fraudulent purpose’. Bank failures are generally the result of a number of factors or actions; and may or may not be due to a crime or intent to commit a crime, but rather due to (for example) bad business judgement, poor risk management or governance systems, or other non-criminal related factors. Once the process outlined in (2) is completed, the Registrar and I will make a determination as to what action to take.

4. As noted in (3) above, the s69A investigation is a limited exercise, and does not necessarily deal with broader policy issues, mandate or activities of other regulators who may also be involved.

ASIDI

The 2012-13 eradication of inappropriate schools in the Eastern Cape were completed by due date, and the 2012-13 provision of basic services in the Eastern Cape contracts were not completed by the due date.

The basic services projects were not completed by due date due to contractor incompetency, delays experienced with submission of ground water tests and geotechnical tests reports from laboratories and poor contract management.

The 2012-13 Free State contracts were not completed by the due date. So far, one new school has been completed.

The projects were not completed by due date due to contractor incompetency and poor contract management.

The IDT will not be able to complete the Eastern Cape contracts awarded in 2013-14 by due date.

The projects are already behind schedule.

(b) As per the contracts entered into between the DBE and IDT, various sanctions can be imposed where there is non-performance. In the case of the Free State contract, IDT was issued with notices of non-performance and subsequently the scope of work awarded to the IDT in the Free State was reduced by 4 schools out of the 10 allocated to them. The IDT has also been issued with notices of default on the 2013-14 Eastern Cape contracts.

Mackay, Mr G to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises

(1) What has been Eskom’s total electricity (a) generation and (b) demand figures for each day since 30 November 2014; (2) was there a decrease in electricity (a) generation and (b) demand in the specified period; if so, what were the reasons for this decrease?

Reply:

(1) Please take note of the following:

  • Eskom generation in the Eskom context is the electricity sent out from Eskom power stations plus imports across the border, being mainly the Cahora Bassa imports.
  • Customer demand in the Eskom context is the sum of Eskom generation, plus Independent Power Producer (IPP) generation (for IPPs selling their energy to Eskom, including renewables and some conventional generators), plus customer demand actions, being predominantly demand reduced either through contracted Demand Response or Interruptible Load Shedding; or load shedding.

(2) It is very difficult to comment on the increase or decrease in the electricity generation or demand as the period from November 2014 to October 2015 includes all the seasons and tariff periods; and no comparative period is given. In general, the demand has been normal.

(2)(a) There is a trend of somewhat reducing Eskom generation during the specified period, as IPPs are able to replace some of the Eskom generation (most of them are currently self-dispatched) the reliance on Eskom generation is reducing.

(2)(b) There are no abnormal trends seen over the specified period. The customer demand varies significantly depending on the weather, winter demand being higher than summer demand. This is true for both residential and industrial customers.

Whether her department has any plans of placing anti-drug centres in all high schools to address the issue of learners coming to school under the influence of alcohol and drugs; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

No, the establishment of anti-drug centres at all high schools has never been considered. Learners coming to schools under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be dealt with in terms of schools’ Codes of Conduct for Learners. The Code of Conduct for Learners spells out the rules regarding learner behaviour at school and describes the disciplinary system to be implemented by the School Management concerning transgressions by learners.

Reply:

Lieutenant General Lamoer entered into a five year contract as the Provincial Commissioner Western Cape with effect from 1 December 2010 with an expiry date of 30 November 2015. Section 7(1) of the South African Police Act, 1995 (Act No 68 of 1995) stipulates that an appointed Provincial Commissioner shall occupy that office for a period of five years from the date of his or her appointment or such shorter period as may be determined at the time of his or her appointment by the National Commissioner in consultation with the member of the Executive Council of the relevant province.

Section 7(2) of the Act provides for the National Commissioner to extend the term at the expiry thereof for a period not exceeding five years at a time, subject to consultation with the member of the Executive Council of the relevant province. The non-renewal of Lieutenant General Lamoer’s contract is a decision arrived in compliance with the above policy provisions.
