1. Yes, the anticipated development is within the proposed buffer zone of Maloti-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site. The draft Basic Assessment Report (BAR) is still under review, and it is important to note that the decision on whether the development proceeds or not and under what conditions will be informed by the assessment that has been commissioned. Because the proposed development is in the vicinity of the World Heritage Site, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Practice Note on Environmental Impact Assessments and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) Guidelines on Heritage Impact Assessment will be taken into consideration, as required by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

2. The Basic assessment process will ascertain, inter alia, any socio-economic and cultural considerations, including relevant studies and permissions to be sought in this regard, not excluding those relating to or relevant tourism and conservation of the world heritage property.

Additional resources were deployed to the affected areas.

Various operational plans are being reviewed and considered, including:

• Joint operations with South African Police Services (SAPS);
• surveillance observation points to monitor the mountain;
• increased patrols in the area; and
• deployment of a South African National Parks dog unit.

Also media relations interventions are ongoing.

Strategic focus areas were identified for investigation, including:

• • Planning and implementation of operations;
  • permeability of the urban edge;
  • establishment of a Joint Operations Centre;
  • establishment of a rapid response team;
  • technology options;
  • ranger capablity to meet ever changing challenges; and
  • proactive communications.

The South African National Parks held a Chief Executive Office (CEO) Security Cluster Meeting that was attended by:

• CEO: SANParks and the Park representatives;
• representative of the Provincial Police Commissioner of the Western Cape;
• representative of the SAPS Cluster;
• Head of Department for Community Safety representing the Member of Executive Council;
• Wilderness Search and Rescue;
• South African Navy; and
• the City of Cape Town did not send a representative.

The South African National Parks (SANParks) and SAPS continue to work together to implement operational plans and joint patrols in order to keep crime to a minimum and also to address safety concerns across the Park. On 13 February 2018, two suspects were arrested and charged with robbery in the Kalk Bay mountain hiking trail area. They appeared in the Muizenberg Magistrate’s Court and are still in custody.

(a) One of the work streams within Operation Phakisa was the Hazardous Waste. One initiative from this work stream related to ash waste. The officials have developed draft regulations for the exclusion of waste or portions of waste from the definition of waste. These proposed regulations will provide for the beneficiation of certain waste streams whilst not having to adhere to the relevant waste legislation (licence requirements). This is after a rigorous process has been followed to obtain the exclusion which includes various risk assessments and waste classification. The waste streams initially include boiler ash, metalurgical slag, biomass and gypsum. These regulations will be published for public comments in due course.

The following twenty (20) initiatives developed within the 4 work streams, aim to maximise diversion of waste from landfill sites and also increase South Africa’s competitiveness in the chemicals industry and create a positive enabling business environment for Small Medium Micro Enterprises to foster inclusive growth. These include amongst others:

Industrial work stream

Initiative 1 - Increase ash uptake for alternate building materials

Initiative 2 - Accelerate innovation and commercialize existing Research & Development (R&D)

Initiative 2a - Use ash as soil ameliorant; and

Initiative 2b - Use ash to treat acid mine drainage and backfill mines.

Initiative 3 - Export ash and ash products.

Initiative 4 - Zero sewage sludge to landfill.

Initiative 4a - Anaerobic Digester Biogas to Energy; and

Initiative 4b - Fluidised Bed Reactor Thermal Treatment.

Initiative 5 - Towards zero meat production waste to landfill by 2023.

Municipal Solid Waste work stream

Initiative 6 - Introduction of an e-waste levy to increase collection rate

Initiative 7 - Unlocking government Information Communication Technology legacy volumes

Initiative 8 - Achieving a minimum of 50% of households separating at source by 2023

Initiative 9 - Introduction of materials recovery facilities and pelletisation plants to increase plastic recycling rates

Initiative 10 - Produce building aggregates and construction inputs from rubble and glass.

Waste Minimisation and Product Design

Initiative 11 - Developing capacity through a specialised programme which upskills agri-stakeholders to minimize food loss

Initiative 12 - Consumer awareness campaign to use and consume ugly food

Initiative 13 - Compilation/update of packaging design guidelines

Initiative 14 - Formalising the packaging industry producer responsibility plans

Initiative 15 - Establish refuse-derived fuel plants across South Africa.

Chemicals work stream

Initiative 16 - Establish a refrigerant reclamation and reusable cylinder industry;

Initiative 17 - Ban import of harmful chemicals (e.g. leaded paint/paint pigments);

Initiative 18 - Collect and dispose of stockpiles of harmful substances

Initiative 18a Mercury; and

Initiative 18b Asbestos

Cross-cutting initiatives

Initiative 19 - Coordinate SMME development opportunities across initiatives

Initiative 20 - Roll out national awareness campaigns

Technical support, in the form of technical skills development, is integrated into initiatives’ 3 feet plans as relevant.

(b) Post Operation Phakisa Chemicals and Waste Economy, on 6 December 2017 I have published a final section 28 Notice calling on the Electrical and Electronic industry to develop an Industry Waste Management Plan and submit to me for approval. It is anticipated that this Notice will increase the collection and recycling rates of ewaste and result in the diversion of waste away from landfilling to reuse, recycling and recovery, e-waste is part of initiatives 6 and 7.

(1) The Admiralty Reserve forms part of the range of zones that describe the coast along with the seashore, coastal waters and coastal buffer zone. It is generally described as a strip of land between 150 to 200 feet (45m to 60m) wide, inland of the high water mark. The Richtersveld coastline in the Northern Cape has no admiralty strip reserved, registered or designated on an official plan deed of grant, tittle deed or other documents evidencing title or land-use right.

(2) The Richtersveld coastline in the Northern Cape has no admiralty strips reserved. The National Environmental Management: Integrated Coastal Management Act, 2008 (Act No. 24 of 2008) does not intend changing any area or status of any strip that exists as admiralty reserve. The Act has a huge influence in how properties adjacent and in proximity of the coast are managed or supposed to be managed.

(3) All admiralty reserves are state land and falls under the custodianship of the National Department of Public Works.

a) The following measures will be implemented to promote waste reduction:

• Developing capacity through a specialised programme which upskills agri-stakeholders to minimise food loss.
• Compilation and updating of packaging design guidelines with the Department of Trade and Industry, Industry Associations and SABS, and a voluntary grading scheme with marketing value for brand owners can improve the design of packaging and increase collaboration between brand owners and recycling companies.
• Formalising the packaging industry extended producer responsibility plans to enable and support the unification and alignment around packaging design guidelines and other packaging industry initiatives, a mechanism which formalises Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
• Implementation of packaging design guideline once it has been developed.

b) The awareness initiatives are additional measures to enhance waste minimisation and promote the recycling economy. These measures aim to create a joint platform for communicating messages to improve consumer behaviour and industry practice towards pro-recycling in the waste sector by focusing on specific areas, including:

• minimisation of food waste by eating ugly fruit;
• separation of waste at household-level (e.g. promote the incentives and/or Buy Back Centres, re-inforce the benefits of not contaminating paper waste with food waste, etc.); and
• safe disposal of waste (e.g. promote and create awareness on the e-Waste drop-off centres).

The awareness raising measures will increase consumer awareness and demand for recyclable products that are packaged in an environmentally friendly manner.

(a) The Department is putting Norms and Standards for waste separation at source in 2018/19. The administrative and criminal enforcement would be carried out by Environmental Management Inspectors as empowered by the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, Act No 59 of 2008. However, municipalities that have made separation of waste at source mandatory as part of their by-laws have enforcement powers that they can also exercise accordingly.

(b) The Department is bound by the Constitution to support those that fail to meet the Norms and

Standards however criminal enforcement can be considered as a last resort in keeping with
co-operative governance.

In terms of the co-operative governance approach, the Department will endevour to assist those to come into compliance. Enforcement will be considered as the last resort to ensure compliance with the Norms and Standards.

1. a) Yes. The participants representing the ewaste sector requested that waste charges be introduced to increase the collection rates of ewaste.

b) The Department will be implementing a policy mechanism provided for in Section 28 of the National Environmental Management Waste Act, Act No. 59 of 2008. This policy mechanism is the Indstry Waste Management Plans (IndWMP).

c) The implementation of IndWMP promotes local beneficiation of waste materail. This will require capital funding to support large infrastructure and technology investments. These will be funded through the waste charges implemented.

2. a) There is no legislation currently in place to compel the end user to dispose of the e-waste in line with the waste hierarchy. The implementation of the levy will enable Product Responsibility Organisations (PROs) to provide financial incentves to encourage the end users to take back any redundant equipment to a buy or taker-back centre or an accredited recycler. The IndWMPs will also contain targets for collection and recycling. The Producer will be legally required to achieve these targets, and there will be adequate public awareness programs as part of these plans as well.

b) The plastic bag levy is collected by the South African Revenue Service and transferred to the National Revenue Fund. The new Industry Waste Management Plan for Paper and Packaging will include measures to collect waste plastics in general, of which plastic bags are a part of. The Industry Waste Management Plan levy will be approved together with the approved plan for the collection of the various plastics, including plastic bags.

a) The Department of Environmental Affairs’ study for the determination of the extent and role of waste picking in South Africa concluded that there are about 62 000 waste pickers in the country.

b) Non-government organisations, and other organisations operating in the informal sector, have suggested, in some forums, that this could be much higher. We are in the process of validating this information.

Eskom lodged an application for environmental authorisation on 1 May 2007, for the proposed construction and operation of a Nuclear Power Station in South Africa. The independent consultant appointed by Eskom as an Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) identified five sites as alternatives for the proposed development during the Scoping Phase of the Environmental Impact Assessment, namely Brazil and Schulpfontein (Northern Cape); Duynefontein (Western Cape); Bantamsklip (Western Cape) and Thyspunt (Eastern Cape). The Brazil and Schulpfontein sites were considered unsuitable for the proposed development and were eliminated from further assessment during the Scoping Phase. Bantamsklip was eliminated from further consideration in the Environmental Impact Assessment stage as there were shortcomings relating to transportation risks, urban planning and the level of detail provided in the assessment report on the transmission of power from the operational station was found to be inadequate when compared to the other two sites. The Thyspunt and Duynefontein sites were the only two sites that progressed to the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) phase and were presented as viable sites for the proposed development. The Duynefontein site was eventually approved by the Department from the two sites that were presented as viable options. There were numerous specialist assessments undertaken by experts in their respective fields which culminated in extremely voluminous specialist assessment reports. Some of these reports were subjected to a peer review during the EIA process. In addition however, these reports were also subjected to an independent review process by a panel of experts outside of the Department - before the department made a final decision.

The Duynefontein site was selected given that there were generally less overall environmental impacts associated with this site relative to impacts associated with the development of a “greenfields” site, i.e. Thyspunt. The refinement of the Duynefontein footprint to a terrestrial area of approximately 265ha, immediately north of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station and inland from the coast has materially reduced the footprint-related environmental impacts of the project. In addition, the Duynefontein site is adjacent to the existing Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, thereby allowing for a suite of logistical and operational synergies.

The Western Cape High Court judgement found the request made by government for proposals to be submitted for the procurement of 9.6 gigawatts of nuclear to be unlawful and uncostitutional. The ruling had no bearing the application for the Environmental Authorisation as it had nothing to do with procurement processes.The application for environmental authorsation was lodged in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, Act 108 of 1998 and the associated environmental impact assessment regulations. Therefore the selection of Dynefontein as a prefereed site through the Environmental Impact Assessment process does not violate the High Court ruling, as it is an unrelated process.

(1) (a) Due to the financial constraints and agreed to budget cuts the Department opted to pay incentives to performing staff, instead of generalised bonuses, as outlined in Part VIII, Section F1 of the Public Service Regulations which reads as follows:

“If the Departmental budget and the medium-term expenditure framework provide adequate funds, a head of department may establish a financial incentive scheme for the employees or any category of those employees.”

Consequently, an amount of R14, 493,635.57 was paid out in performance incentives to employees on salaries level 2-12 for the financial year.

(2) (a) An estimated total amount of R15 751 095 will be paid out in performance incentives to employees in the Department for the 2017/2018 financial year.

(b) The breakdown of the performance incentives to be paid out to each employee in each salary level for the 2017/18 financial year will be determined as outlined in Part VIII section F1 of the service Regulations, as outlined above.

(a) 1 permit to sell 264 rhinoceros horns and 7 permits to buy rhinoceros horns

(b) No horns or parts thereof

(2)

(a) As indicated above, no horns or parts thereof were sold during the auction. The following measures are in place to prevent and detect illegal activities:

• Environmental Management Inspectors (EMIs) monitor compliance to the buying permits as well as the possession permits that will be applicable to the horns. Through the permitting system we are able to track the movement of the horns and conduct inspections on a regular basis to monitor that these are horns have remained in the country;
• We have improved the ability to track the movement of rhino horn through the implementation of a national database and systems relating to the marking of rhino horn and genetic profiling;
• The Department’s Environmental Management Inspectorate (EMI) works in collaboration with other government agencies such as the South African Police Service and SARS Customs at international airports and at border posts in order to combat the illegal import and export of wildlife products. Having enforcement officials at these ports has assisted in the detection of illegal goods and identification of possible offenders and continue to do so;
• The Department’s Environmental Management Inspectorate (EMI) has been raising awareness and training border officials on initiatives focused on the Illicit International cross border movement of endangered species. This enhances our efforts to build capacity to tackle the problem;
• In 2017 we also commenced with awareness raising sessions for the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) officials protecting the South African border line to ensure that they are aware of the illegal practices related to smuggling of wildlife and that they are able to react should they encounter smugglers;
• The Department works in close co-operation with enforcement officials from neighboring countries to ensure that they are aware of possible illegal trade and that they immediately inform the department in case of any seizures of illegally traded horn and supply us with the necessary information to enable enforcement agencies to investigate;
• Accordingly, we have improved our detection capability at ports of entry and exit by increasing awareness, human capacity, technology and skills which is evident in the increased number of confiscations, arrests and convictions related to wildlife trafficking.
• Regulations pertaining to certain restricted activities involving rhinoceros horn were developed under section 97 of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004 (Act No. 10 of 2004) to ensure the strict regulation of the domestic trade in rhino horn. Under section 57(2) of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004 (Act No.10 of 2004) specific activities will be prohibit, i.e. the shaving and powdering of rhinoceros horn of Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis bicornis, Diceros bicornis minor and Diceros bicornis michaeli.

(a) Schibuna Aloe’s application was subjected to internal processes which involves the evaluation by the Bioprospecting Advisory Committee (BAC) comprised of internal and external stakeholders and ensuing consultations with the applicant. Upon receipt of the recommendations by the BAC, key fundamental gaps on fair and equitable sharing of benefits with communities were identified which needed further engagement with the applicant.

(b) The issuing of the permit will be finalised as soon as the applicant has satisfactorily addressed the fair and equitable sharing of benefits with communities. (Approval has been given, however, for the applicant to continue with the export of aloe juice in the interim, pending the completion of these processes)

2. (a) The Bioprospecting Access and Benefit Sharing (BABS) Amendment Regulations provide the criteria that must be taken into consideration before a biotrade permit can be issued and /or renewed.

(b) The department places high value on the role of bioprospecting and biotrade in facilitating fairness and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of biological resources. Recent interventions include but are not limited to institutional strengthening, regulatory amendments and enhancement of the assessment processes.

b) The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), which has the principal mandate to monitor and undertake enforcement in relation to foreign fishing vessels, is supported in the execution of this function by the work of Initiative 5 of Operation Phakisa - the enhanced and coordinated compliance and enforcement programme which addresses illegal activities taking place within the South African Economic Exclusive Zone and coastal environment. The ongoing operations undertaken by Initiative 5 in line with the National Instruction issued by the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS) involve a coordinated interdepartmental approach to ensure compliance monitoring and enforcement within South Africa’s Economic Exclusive Zone, coastal waters and maritime ports of entry.

In addition to operating its Fisheries Protection Vessels (FPVs), the DAFF has been piloting a Maritime Intelligence capability that is designed to give early warning signals of Foreign Fishing Vessel entering the SA EEZ without the required/necessary permit/s and in contravention of the Marine Living Resources Act. The reports from this system are linked to the Cape Town Port of Control Centre (PECC). Work is also underway through Initiative 6 of Phakisa, the National Ocean and Coastal Information System and Extending Earth Observation Capacity, to provide an integrated maritime domain awareness system for our ocean space and coastal environment, which will integrate information from these early warning systems into a single government system to enable the effective deployment and mobilisation of the relevant capability to apprehend suspected perpetrators.

The Department and/or government authority responsible and accountable for overseeing and verifying that the lion bone skeletons exported each year does not exceed the set quota is the Department of Environmental Affairs. Prorvincial authorities discharge their specific functions associated with permit issuing for exporters.

(a) The verification is conducted throughout the value chain process starting from the details required from the applicant, the pre-permit inspection by the provincial authorities, and finally at the port of exit where the permits are endorsed by the Environmental Management Inspectors.

(b) The process is as follows:

• The quota is managed at a national level (applications are lodged with provincial nature conservation authorities and then submitted by Provincial authorities to the Department for quota allocation);
• The quota is restricted to trade in full skeletons only, with or without the head
• Upon receipt of an application, the officials at the Province conduct the initial inspection to confirm the existence of the skeletons in question;
• Once confirmed, the Province evaluates the application and determine whether the relevant permit can be issued;
• Skeletons have to be packed separately;
• If confirmed, the Province requests for a quota from the Department;
• The Department manages the quota and the distribution of tags and DNA collection kits;
• After allocating the quota, the skeletons are inspected for a second time where they are then weighed, tagged and a DNA sample is taken for forensic analysis;
• The quota numbers are indicated on all permits;
• During export, at the port of exit, the consignment is inspected again where the quantity is verified against the details on the permit and random DNA samples are collected for analysis; and
• When all the particulars are correct, the Environmental Management Inspector endorses the permit for export.

(c) The total number of endorsed permits at OR Tambo since January 2017 is 208 skeletons and 113 lion bones. These bones and skeletons are exported for various purposes, including but not limited to, trophy hunting, personal, education and commercial activities. The weighing at the port of exit was not a legal requirement during the first semester of 2017, but this requirement will now apply to future shipments. It must be noted that, weighing of the skeletons happens in the provinces and the weight appears on the addendum of the issued permits. Copies of the addenda are kept by the Provincial authorities and can be requested.

(d) The total quota of 800 skeletons, with or without the skull, for 2017 has been allocated to various applicants in the Provinces for export. The quota as per allocation has been reached for the year. No export of lion bone over-quota is allowed.

(a) The Department of Environmental Affairs did not approve the environmental impact assessment in this instance, as it is not the Competent Authority for this type of activity/ies under the current regulatory regime. If the application was lodged under the 2014 Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, the application may have been processed and approved by the Department of Mineral Resources, in which case the Department of Environmental Affairs would become the appeal authority.

(b) Given that the Department of Environmental Affairs was not the issuing authority in this instance, it cannot comment on “whether the principle of public participation has been applied to give the surrounding communities a chance to voice their opinions and input and assist the executive in making the decision”. However, the surrounding communities may appeal a decision granted by the Competent Authority to the Minister of Environmental Affairs if they are dissatisfied with

(1) With regard to the question 1 which asks what steps the Minister will take to ensure that funds identified for the rehabilitation of mines do not leave the country, the Minister draws attention to the following legislative requirements:

The National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998) requires the following in respect of financial provision:

Section 24P“(5)

(a) The requirement to maintain and retain the financial provision contemplated in this section remains in force notwithstanding the issuing of a closure certificate by the Minister responsible for mineral resources in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 to the holder or owner concerned. “

Further, the competency for these matters has been identified as the Minister of Mineral Resources in the following circumstances:

Section 24C(2A):

“The Minister responsible for mineral resources must be identified as the competent authority in terms of subsection (1) where the listed or specified activity is directly related to-

(a) prospecting or exploration of a mineral or petroleum resource; or

(b) extraction and primary processing of a mineral or petroleum resource.”

Therefore, noting the provisions of the Act, it is the responsibility of the Minister of Mineral Resources to ensure that the legal requirements are implemented.

(2) With respect to question 2 regarding the intention of the Minister to approach the courts to ensure rehabilitation funds remain to deal with remediating degradation caused by mining, please note that section 24C(2A) of the Act, identifies the Minister of Mineral Resources has having the competency with respect to mining, including the provisions surrounding financial provision for rehabilitation of impacts associated with prospecting, exploration, mining and production.
