Gina, Ms N to ask the Minister of Basic Education

With regard to the visit of the National Assembly’s Portfolio Committee on Basic Education to Limpopo and Mpumalanga, during which the specified committee discovered a dire need for professional staff like nurses, psychologists and therapists in the farm schools and special needs schools, what plans has her department put in place to attend to the need of the specified schools regarding professional staff such as nurses, psychologists and therapists?

Reply:

With regard to the provision of specialised human resources to service special needs schools, the Department of Basic Education is in the process of developing integrated norms for funding, staffing and infrastructure. These norms are aimed at ensuring an equitable distribution of these scarce resources in each district to serve the needs of learners with specialised needs in ordinary, full-service and special schools. The norms will further be in line with the Policy on Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support (2014) which acknowledges that learners with high needs who are admitted to special schools should have access to specialist professional support staff such as therapists, psychologists and nurses on a high frequency basis. Proposals are also being developed to introduce a cadre of mid-level workers such as therapy assistants and counsellors to provide services at special schools on a day-to day basis. The Department plans to complete the norms by March 2016 for incremental implementation up to 2019. Priority will be given to special schools in disadvantaged areas that have been under-resourced to date.

What steps is his department taking to include traditional leaders as interested parties in the domestic tourism market given that large numbers of international and domestic tourists travel to areas under the control of traditional leaders in order to further explore and admire the rich multi-cultured traditional heritage of our various communities?

Reply:

The Domestic Tourism Management Branch invites Traditional Councils and Leaders to participate in the Capacity Building Seminars of the Department. These seminars are aimed at ensuring that relevant stakeholders at local level have the capacity to contribute to the growth of tourism in their communities, as well as benefiting small businesses, Non-Profit Organisations and cooperatives. Traditional leaders from most of the 27 Rural Nodes have participated.

Some of the Social Responsibility Implementation Projects have targeted areas under the jurisdiction of traditional leaders, who play a vital role in facilitating community participation and beneficiation.

With reference to her reply to question 940 on 14 April 2015, in which she stated that Afrikaans and SeSotho have been classified as scarce subjects at all levels in the Eastern Cape, what are the relevant details and time frames of actions that she has taken to rectify this situation?

With reference to her reply to question 940 on 14 April 2015, in which she stated that Afrikaans and SeSotho have been classified as scarce subjects at all levels in the Eastern Cape, what are the relevant details and time frames of actions that she has taken to rectify this situation?

The Department of Basic Education (DBE) is working with the Eastern Cape Provincial Education Department (ECPED) to identify critical vacancies in the province through regular meetings with relevant officials. Afrikaans and SeSotho vacancies where they exist are also included in the list of critical vacancies. The DBE met with the ECPED on 05 August 2015 to adopt a plan to address the critical shortages in the province. All Districts were requested to identify, profile, and submit their vacancies to the Head Office. 577 vacancies had been identified. The Chief Financial Officer had also signed-off the list of the vacancies for the purpose of issuing a bulletin for immediate filling of the posts so that the process of filling those vacancies can ensue immediately. Once the bulletin is issued, it is expected that the identified vacancies will be filled within three months or by the end of October 2015.

With reference to his reply to question 1826 on 8 June 2015, (a) why did he state that there is no record of any investigation relating to the Lesedi Biogas Project when there were two dockets opened with CAS Number 1242/09/2010 and CAS Number 63/03/2012 and (b) on what premise was the statement made?

Reply:

(a)  The initial question, question 1826, contained only the name Lesedi Biogas (Pty) Ltd, and no reference was made to any specific complainant and/or CAS Numbers, which made it impossible to detect information in this regard. The question was circulated to all the Commercial Crime Investigation Units, but due to the limited information supplied no positive feedback was received.

Mention is made of two (2) case numbers stated above, these reference numbers are incomplete as no station name is indicated where the applicable cases were allegedly registered. Therefore, the details cannot be verified.

(b)  The limited information supplied makes it impossible to establish if there are any registered cases in respect of Lesedi Biogas (Pty) Ltd.

Reply:

(1) The Kha Ri Gude Mass Literacy Campaign is managed nationally by the Department of Basic Education. Kha Ri Gude motto is: “Kha Ri Gude - wherever you are” Therefore learning sites are organized by volunteers and classes are therefore held in churches, schools, community halls, garages or homes of volunteers and learners etc. The Department does not pay rental for these venues and hence it is not possible to provide any figures. The budget is utilized mainly for the stipends and learner and volunteer materials and stationery.

(2) (a) (i) (ii) (iii)

The table below represents the actual stipends paid per province for the 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 financial years. Unfortunately the information is not available per district as the project is managed nationally at the Department of Basic Education.

With reference to his reply to oral question 18 on 5 March 2015, will the specified police co-operation agreement lead to a multilateral agreement between the specified countries; if not, (a) how will the police co-operation agreement receive sufficient resources to neutralise the rhino poaching threat, (b) will the governments of the specified countries sign a supporting Memorandum of Understanding for effective policing in the interim and (c) what will be done to facilitate the deployment of more resources; if so, (i) how long will it take to finalise the specified agreement and (ii) will the finalisation of the specified agreement enable the specified countries to deploy resources in the prevention and integrated strategy?

Reply:

(a)  As mentioned in my previous reply, there is already a multi-lateral police cooperation agreement in place which has been in existence for a number of years. Both Mozambique and Zimbabwe are, as pointed out previously, party to this agreement. Under the auspices of this agreement, the South African Police Service, the Mozambican Police and the South African National Parks meet frequently to discuss operational issues and to put in place operational plans in order to jointly combat rhino poaching. This type of cooperation and interaction is also possible, under the auspices of the multi-lateral agreement, with the relevant authorities in any of the countries in the region which are party to the agreement.

(b)  An interim Memorandum of Understanding is therefore not required, as cooperation is already taking place on the basis of the existing multi-lateral agreement and the frequent operational interaction referred to above.

(c)  Through the frequent interaction and consequential operational plans which arise therefrom, the resources required to address the scourge of rhino poaching are determined and sourced from the relevant entities mentioned in paragraph (a) above.

Whether, given the massive outcry and local and/or international indignation at the country’s continued support of the practice of canned lion hunting, the devastating effect of this practice on the country’s image as a sanctuary for the Big 5 of African wildlife and possible deleterious effects the specified practice can have on the country’s tourism, he intends to engage his counterparts in the Departments of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and Environmental Affairs on passing legislation to ban this barbaric practice; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

South Africa does not support canned lion hunting. The prohibition is provided for through the National Environmental Management Act (Act No 10 of 2014), which is implemented by the Department of Environmental Affairs. We believe that responsible citizenship would also assist in preventing such occurrences. All known cases of canned lion hunting should therefore be reported to the law enforcement agencies. Discussions with the Ministers of Environmental Affairs and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries have not taken place.

Whether his department is planning to buy a fleet of vehicles which is appropriate and high-powered for the ever-fast and changing nature of syndicates and/or criminals that target rhinos in the Kruger National Park; if not, why not; if so, (a) when is the specified fleet going to be delivered, (b) will such delivery meet the planned requirements and (c) what are the relevant details?

Reply:

(a & b) With regard to the DPCI, Provincial and Component Heads are afforded the opportunity to make a choice as to procure a vehicle that will be most suitable for the specific environment including for declared priorities. DPCI has procured high end, high performance vehicles which will suit the specific high priority investigations.

The Division Detective Service, specifically the Stock Theft and Endangered Species unit, are the custodians of investigations on level one to three and it is necessary to have a suitable fleet and not necessarily a high powered fleet. It is important to be able to reach poaching scenes to start a proper investigation. The fleet of vehicles utilized currently fulfils the needs as it was identified with the input of all role-players. A fleet of the suitable vehicles have been delivered and is already being utilized in the Kruger National Park. The needs are monitored throughout and if the fleet needs to be increased it will be done. The current fleet does meet the planned requirements.

(1)Whether incidents of (a) violence, including sexual violence and (b) theft occurring in school hostels are documented; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant statistics; (2) what steps has she taken to protect the safety of learners living in hostels? NW3380E

Reply:

 

  1. The South African Schools Act of 1996 (Act No 84 of 1996) makes provision for all schools to document and report incidents of (a) violence, including sexual violence, and (b) theft occurring in both schools and school hostels.
  2. Guidelines for the provisioning of boarding facilities in public ordinary schools have been developed and distributed to all provinces. The principles underpinning the guidelines emanate from the National Policy on an Equitable Provisioning of an Enabling School Physical Teaching and Learning Environment. The management of boarding facilities is the responsibility of the School Governing Body (SGB). The Guidelines are clear in terms of taking care of the overall safety of learners.

What steps have been taken by the SA Police Service to implement the National Development Plan's recommendation for the establishment of community safety centres, as part of promoting a holistic and whole-of-society approach to public safety?

Reply:

The policy framework for promoting a holistic and whole-of-society approach to public safety is set out in the 2015 Draft White Paper on Safety and Security. In this regard the objectives of the White Paper on Safety and Security are:

  • To provide an overarching policy for an integrated approach to safety and security, and
  • To facilitate the creation of a sustainable, well-resourced implementation and oversight mechanism, to co-ordinate, monitor, evaluate and report on implementation of crime prevention priorities across all sectors.

The 2015 Draft White Paper on Safety and Security clearly outlines the location, nature and role of community safety forums. The Civilian Secretariat for Police also works closely with Provinces and Municipalities so ensure that community safety forums are established and are effective. CSFs were established at varying degree across provinces. On average, CSF meetings are held quarterly. Various CSFs undertake different projects in line with mandate(s) of departments participating in CSFs. The Civilian Secretariat for Police is further engaging SALGA on incorporating CSFs into the Councilor Induction Programme.

Whether he has taken all steps necessary to ensure that (a) section 205 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, was fully complied with in that the country had a patently clear police service without any trappings of the military and (b) the service received by the public from the SA Police Service is a service dedicated to investigating crime, maintaining public order, protecting and securing the inhabitants of the Republic and upholding and enforcing the law; if not, why not; if so, (i) when and (ii) what changes were made to achieve the constitutional injunction?

Reply:

The South African Police Service went through a process of demilitarisation shortly after its establishment in 1994. In the process the previous ranks, which were similar to that of the military had been replaced by demilitarised ranks. The issue about military ranks being reintroduced in the South African Police Service before the present Minister took office, raised concerns about a possible re-militarisation of the South African Police Service. It must be emphasized that the use of military ranks is not the only measure for a professional dedicated police service providing a quality service to members of the public as required by section 205 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. What is much more important is the measure of respect and dedication shown to members of the public through proper service delivery by the police service.

During the tenure of the present Minister of Police, it became clear, through various incidents of police behavior, the extent of civil litigation against the police service as well as findings of the Marikana Commission of Inquiry, that the ideal of a demilitarised police service has not yet been attained. This ideal of such a demilitarised police service is also a clear aim of Government’s National Development Plan. The Department of Police is busy with a new White Paper on Policing and a Review of the South African Police Service Act, 1995 (Act No. 68 of 1995), processes in which the central theme is improvement of service delivery by the police service, including a dedicated process of professionalising the police service. In the process we must ensure the strengthening of issues such as command and control and discipline which are elements of any professional police service in the world. The aim is to address, as a matter of urgency, these issues in order not to simply improve the image of the police, but to ensure the realisation for the police service of its constitutional mandate as set out in section 205, mentioned above. In the process a dedicated attitude of servicing the community and maintaining excellent relations with the community, demanding respect through service delivery and addressing corruption must be nurtured. This had been an ongoing process, which is receiving all the attention it requires.

It is also clear at this stage that our police members on the ground are profusely targeted by criminals and murdered, making it clear that policing also sometimes require the use of force to protect members of the public, and members of the police service. The police service remains a security service which can be expected to protect citizens, to uphold and enforce the laws of the land and to prevent and investigate crime, within the broader parameters of and with respect to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996.

What (a) is the (i) purpose and (ii) effectiveness as measured against the specified purpose of the television show When Duty Calls and (b) were the associated costs of the specified television show in the (i) 2009-10, (ii) 2010-11, (iii) 2011-12, (iv) 2012-13, (v) 2013-14 and (vi) 2014-15 financial years?

Reply:

(a) (i)The television show is a communication platform between the SAPS and the communities. This platform has enabled the SAPS to engage, and most importantly, educate South Africans on the relevance of the SAPS in their day to day life, which will ultimately improve their understanding. Using this show, we are able to answer questions such as “what is the role of the SAPS in a democratic and developing state” and also in addressing the crime situation facing all South Africans. The programme produces crime awareness campaigns with the purpose of eliciting maximum response from the members of the general public, in order to assist the SAPS with its investigations of criminal activities. When Duty Calls gives visual support to the communication objectives of the police through the episodes produced on;

  • crime patterns,
  • serious and violent incidents crimes,
  • Crime prevention hints,
  • profiling the most wanted suspects and missing persons,
  • feedback to the public on current investigations, investigative successes,
  • as well as highlighting the various units and components of the SAPS- how they operate and how the general public can access their services.

(ii) Through the various segments within the programme, we have been able to communicate some much welcomed successes of the work done by ordinary members of the SAPS. The viewing audiences normally appreciate the feedback they receive each week when watching the programme. The police fight crime every minute, they are arresting suspects every day, and only a small fraction makes headline news. When Duty Calls serves as that additional platform to document the less talked about stories and arrests. Its effectiveness is also measured on the feedback we receive from the viewers (the general public) each week, on the arrests the Police make on a daily basis, but also on the citizens appreciating the often thankless job that the men and women in blue do each and every day. Through the When Duty Calls programme, we have also been able to get tip-off’s from the viewers on the whereabouts of the numerous wanted suspects, sometimes leading to the arrests and/or convictions of said individuals. Another way of measuring the programme’s effectiveness is the percentage share of the audience ratings that we continue to meet every week, based on the number of viewers watching TV during the time slot.

(b) When the television show was incepted in 2000, there was an agreement with the state broadcaster, SABC, that the South African Police Service shall provide the show’s content while the SABC will provide airtime at no cost to the SAPS.

The SAPS is not carrying any costs for the broadcasting of the show on SABC 2 but is responsible for the production of the show at its own studios.

Production costs are borne by the SAPS through the employment of permanent production staff consisting of professionals including an Executive Producer, Content Producers, Scriptwriters, Researchers, Video Editors as well as Camera Operators.

The SAPS supplies 48 programmes per year to the SABC.

The programme has repeats on Soweto TV, Bay TV, and KZN TV at no cost.

Reply:

In order to provide a comprehensive response, the Department has maintained its policy of not allowing unauthorised communication devices which give the use primary access to such applications as Facebook, Twitter etc.

The Department continues to take various steps to prevent or reduce the use of unauthorized communication devices within Correctional Centres. These steps include the following:

  • The launching of a Back-2-Basics security campaign aimed at reasserting the importance of basic security measures and competencies such as searching of persons and goods.
  • The searching of inmate cells and belongings sporadically (at extraordinary times) to find and remove unauthorized communication devices that may have entered the Correctional facilities.
  • The installation of cell-phone detection systems in various Correctional Centres to assist officials in the identification and removal of unauthorized communication devices. Cell-phone detection systems are currently in the process of being installed at 39 Correctional Centres.
  • The Department is also in the process of installing 14 body scanners at 7 Correctional Centres to further assist officials.
  • The Department has initiated a process of engagement with the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) to explore various technical and/or legal solutions – including but not limited to cell-phone jamming.
  • The DCS is part of an inter-departmental process exploring technical counter-measures in part responding to gangs as a security threat group. This is a conscious effort to partner with other state law enforcement agencies in finding sustainable solutions to the holistic challenges (including integrity management of personnel).

Reply:

 

(a) In terms of infrastructure, Full Service Schools have to be provided with facilities that will enable learners with disabilities unhindered access, such as ramps and hand rails and disabled ablution facilities.

(b)  Provincial and District officials have been trained on the Guidelines for Full Service Schools and on Curriculum Differentiation. All School-Based Support teams at Full Service Schools have been trained on the Guidelines for Full Service Schools. Teachers at Full Service Schools have been trained on the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) and on Curriculum Differentiation. Provincial officials have been trained on the implementation of the Policy on Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support (SIAS).

(c)  Full service schools receive norms and standard budgets from which they purchase learning and teaching support material. The Department prints and delivers braille workbooks for learners in schools for the visually impaired.

(d) The post provisioning norms policy provides for the relevant weighting of the number of teachers needed according the nature of disability of each learner with disability. Districts are required to provide necessary support to the schools including ensuring that appropriately qualified teachers are appointed in post at full service schools to cater for learners with disabilities.

Whether, with reference to her reply to question 241 on 13 March 2015, her department has implemented any strategies to deal with the listed issues (details furnished) according to the National Education Infrastructure Management System as at 28 February 2015?

Reply:

Yes, the Department of Basic Education is implementing various strategies to address backlogs related to school infrastructure. The Schools Build Programme comprises two national programmes, namely the Provincial programme funded through the Education Infrastructure Grant (EIG) and Equitable Share (ES) and the second is the Accelerated Schools Infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI). As a result of these initiatives, there is a sustained reduction in the identified backlogs and the provision of infrastructure to enable the provision of quality education. Further, the Department published the Regulations Relating to Minimum Uniform Norms and Standards for Public School Infrastructure in November 2014. These regulations stipulate what spaces should be provided in a school and provide timelines in terms of achieving specific targets in the provision of school infrastructure.

Reply:

(a)   The National Commissioner approved a re-enlistment process of former members for the 2015/2016 financial year to address the service terminations experienced by the South African Police Service. This is an exercise specific for this financial year only and whether it goes on until 2019 cannot be determined at this stage. The posts for re-enlistment were externally advertised during June 2015 and a total of 3187 applications were received nationally. These applications are currently under consideration and as announced by the National Commissioner only former members with a consistent track record of good performance, disciplinary and attendance record will be re-enlisted. Furthermore former members must have no criminal record and/or criminal cases pending. The number that will be finally recruited/re-enlisted cannot be determined at this stage as they are being subjected to the different standards and criteria for re-enlistment.

(b)   The re-enlistment process of former members will be accommodated in vacant posts in terms of the approved funded fixed establishment of the South African Police Service.

(c)  Re-enlistments will only be considered on the rank of Lieutenant due to budgetary constraints and to allow for the progression of SAPS internal members to higher ranks who are due for promotion.

What plans does she have in place to address the challenges that teachers face in public schools, particularly in rural areas and to ensure quality education?

Reply:

The provisioning of teachers to rural areas is a chronic challenge that the Department is continuously addressing. The difficulty to attract and retain teachers can be attributed to unfavourable living conditions in such areas which includes poor access to certain basic services, facilities and amenities. The challenge becomes more acute when considering scarce skill areas such as mathematics, physical science, and technology (MST).

Over the years, the Department has used various interventions which include the recruitment and retention incentives in the form of the policy on incentives for teachers; the recruitment of foreign educators qualified in MST areas; and to encourage provinces to appoint Funza Lushaka Bursary Scheme graduates in posts at rural schools.

The Department is in the process of reviewing the policy on incentives for teachers to address some of the policy gaps that currently exist. The aim is to ensure that the policy begins to mitigate the unfavourable conditions that make it difficult to attract and retain teachers in rural areas. This will include, in addition to the existing monetary incentives, provisioning of accommodation; transport; and other non-monetary incentives including easier access to professional development opportunities.

SAA has been in a codeshare relationship with Etihad since 2013, providing network reach, connecting traffic as well as other commercial benefits to SAA on a profitable basis.  The 3rd phase of this relationship, which is contained within SAA’s Corporate Plan, entails SAA commencing operations to Abu Dhabi.

The Business Case indicates that the route would realise route losses in its first two years of operation, which is not unusual for a new long haul route, but would also provide (a) multiple connectivity options for SAA passengers into the Middle East, mainland China as well as into India and (b) enable the closure of the heavily loss-making Beijing and Mumbai operations. 

Strategic and socio-economic factors also formed part of the Business Case, as is invariably the case for international routes.

The financial performance for the route is subject to the following considerations:       

 

  • The extent to which the SAA Management team continues to effect various interventions, including price promotions and marketing aimed at growing this newly established route;
  • The success of efforts underway by SAA at improving the codeshare cooperation with Etihad to ensure optimal access to connecting capacity at minimum cost; and
  • A more challenging revenue environment for SAA, and for all international carriers, than previously. All airlines are heavily exposed, as SAA is, to strong competition from mid-hemisphere carriers.

2. There are currently no negotiations with Air China on equity stake-related matters.

3. There are currently no engagements with any party on equity-stake related matters.

Whether, with reference to the SA Revenue Service’s investigation into Lesedi Biogas (Pty) Ltd, reference number NCE 1125376, he will provide a detailed update on the status of the investigation?

Reply:

Due to the taxpayer confidentiality provisions contained in Section 69 of the Tax Administration Act No. 28 of 2011, SARS is prohibited from disclosing any taxpayer information (Including whether or not a taxpayer is subject to an audit/ investigation) to any person other than a SARS official. SARS is, therefore, unfortunately not in a position to respond to the above request.

Has the SA Revenue Service (SARS) ever been contacted by the Central Energy Fund (CEF) for any form of assistance in the past 10 years; if so, (a) what were the details of the assistance required and (b) when was SARS contacted by CEF?

Reply:

(a)(b) Due to the taxpayer confidentiality provisions contained in Section 69 of the Tax Administration Act No. 28 of 2011, as well as section 4 of the Customs and Excise Act, 1964, SARS is prohibited from disclosing any taxpayer/trader information (Including whether or not a taxpayer/trader is subject to an audit/ investigation) to any person other than a SARS official. SARS is, therefore, unfortunately not in a position to respond to the above request in relation to any tax or customs matter.

As far as collaboration and co-operation is concerned, SARS is not aware of any requests on record for assistance to the Central Energy Fund (CEF).

(1)Whether he has any (a) research or (b) information at his disposal pointing towards the probability or inevitability in the near future of a global economic recession equivalent to or worse than the one in 2008, and more specifically in the period from August to November 2015 or early in 2016; if so, what (i) are the relevant details and (ii) prognosis is prescribed in order to buffer the country against this event; (2) whether the Government has any contingency plans in place to cope with such kind of events; if not, why not?

Reply:

  1. There is no research which points to a global slowdown in the magnitude of the global recession in 2008. Whilst global growth is not as fast as we would have hoped, growth continues, supported primarily by a recovery in growth in developed economies.
  2. The macroeconomic framework is designed to help the South African economy absorb shocks such as a global recession. Prudent fiscal policy ensures that we have a low enough debt to GDP ratio to borrow more in the event of a crisis; the inflation targeting framework allows interest rates to adjust to domestic and global settings, without negative implications for inflation expectations; the flexible exchange rate allows for the rand to adjust and for imports and exports to respond accordingly. The macroprudential framework in place helps to secure financial sector stability so that the knock-on effects of any global crisis will be mitigated, whilst our open and liquid capital markets encourage two-way flows of capital. Foreign currency reserves are in place to supply the market if required. The Government and the South African Reserve Bank maintain a close working relationship to ensure that in the event of severe market disruption, we stand ready to act in a cohesive and coordinated fashion.
