2. No. The Lessees that have been allocated these 204 farms are Category 3 farmers who, in terms of the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development’s State Land Lease and Disposal Policy, can only obtain title deeds after purchasing the leased land at market value as required by the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 29 of 1999).

(4)

a) Start-up support packages are based on the various commodities, e.g. livestock, crops and etc. The packages take into consideration the critical success factors of each commodity. It should be noted that this intervention is not a comprehensive support and as such farmers could still later apply for further support.

b) The implementation of these is expected to take place throughout the current financial year.

c) The names of the farms that will be supported under the current fiscal year will be available once the approval process is concluded.

d) An amount of R150m has been put aside for support to these farms, across the country. The budget details for the farms in the the three provinces will be available once the final approval and allocation for each farm has been concluded.

e) The amount spent on the 165 farmers in 94 farms that were trained in Business and Entrepreneurship is R1 188 000. The distribution of farms and budget spent is outlined below:

• Limpopo: 40 farms: 50 beneficiaries trained at total cost of R360 000;
• Mpumalanga: 30 farms: 45 beneficiaries trained at a total cost of R324 000; and
• Northwest: 24 farms: 70 beneficiaries trained at a total cost of R504 000.

(1) The NSNP budget is allocated per meal/per child/per day, and NOT per food item spend; with price expectations in line with economies of scale. The allocation is further outlined per weekly menu plan (i.e 5 days cycle) per serving, that constitute a protein, starch, fruit and/or vegetable.  This allocation is not apportioned to milk only, but is shared between all protein source foods (i.e soya mince, canned pilchards, sugar beans and lentils/split peas or canned chicken livers). 

In general, protein has the highest cost. Therefore, at least 50% is allocated towards protein foods. Milk is served once per week and the low cost protein food supplements the more expensive proteins like milk.

(2) The meal cost is adjusted annually by the National Treasury in line with the general inflation.

(3) The different allocation is based on the portion sizes for primary and secondary schools.  Secondary schools with larger portion sizes have a higher allocation than primary schools.

ANNEXURE A OF NA-QUES 3242 OF 2022

1. Total number of black farmers who have benefitted from the commercialisation programme since induction:

BLENDED FINANCE (with Land Bank	AGRI BEE	NRMDP National Red Meat Development Programme	Blended finance: with Industrial Development Finance (IDC)
There are currently 7 transactions that Land Bank approved for Blended Finance during the proof-of-concept phase in 2018 to a total funding of R163 million as shown in table below	10 Agribusinesses (black producers) as of 31 October 2022. Total of 10 black producers who have benefitted.	The Department entered into a strategic partnership with the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) to implement the National Red Meat Development Programme (NRMDP). The programme facilitated market access (formal and informal) for Black smallholder farmers who are most disadvantaged. The NRMDP was implemented in three (3) Provinces namely: Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal and North West. Eastern Cape (EC): Animal intake= 571 Animals sold = 508 Farmers benefitted = 336 Income generated = R2 876 238 KwaZulu Natal (KZN): Animal intake= 51 Animals sold = 790 Farmers benefitted = 384 Income generated: R 7 222 195 North West (Taung CFP): Animal intake= 71 Animals sold = 84 Farmers benefitted = 33 Income generated: R464 000 Total of 753 farmers who have benefitted. The NRMDP focuses on improving market access for smallholder farmers in order to facilitate participation in Agri-value chains. Project activities include construction of custom feeding centres, establishment of pasture fields as well as establishment of processing facilities for improved access to high value markets. Farmers were supported in terms of market information, compliance to Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), packaging, quality control, consistency, transportation and other logistic planning and business linkages with potential buyers. The market access facilitation programme enables the NAMC to contribute to making the agricultural sector more inclusive and viable as a contributor to economic growth and transformation. During the 2021/22 financial year, the NAMC linked 141 black smallholder farmers into the market through its market access facilitation programme.	Received applications/ Evaluation: The Dalrrd has a signed agreement with the IDC committing R1 billion over 5 years. The IDC has received R400 million as at end June 2022 and has since evaluated 28 transactions requiring total funding of R1.5 billion at end June 2022 Approved: 13 Transactions to a combined value of R531 million of which R193 million is a grant have been approved for funding at end June 2022 and creating 295 jobs as shown in the table

The Ombud’s report of 2019 (for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019) deviated from the above terms of reference in that it included a compilation of untested and unproven allegations made by the Ombud in her personal capacity against the Vice Chancellor, the Executive in general and Deans.

20	Tshwane University of Technology	Has students Ombuds office	The Tshwane University of Technology has an established office of the Student Ombudsman, participating in various internal structures of the University where matters that have a direct bearing to the welfare of students are being discussed, like the Student Services Council (SSC) and the Task Team for Student Academic Matters (TTSAM). The scope and mandate of the Student Ombudsman is governed by the Policy on the Ombudsman for Student Academic Complaints. The Student Ombudsman only mediates and adjudicates on complaints that are of an academic nature. The Student Ombudsman strictly adheres to a set procedure that the students must follow in lodging complaints, set as follows: 1. The student has to first attempt to resolve the complaint with the Lecturer concerned. 2. If after lodging the complaint with the Lecturer, the student is still aggrieved, they are at liberty to escalate the matter to the Lecturer’s Line Manager, the Head of the Department. 3. In the event that the student still does not find any joy after the two steps above, they can then refer the matter to the Executive Dean of the concerned Faculty or the Campus Rector in the case of the Distant Campuses. 4. In the event that the three steps above still don’t yield any fruit for the student, the can then refer the matter to the Student Ombudsman, who will then initiate the investigative process.	The Student Ombudsman compiles reports on an annual basis and these reports serve at the institution’s SENATE, where all Deans of the seven faculties of the institution sit. Of particular importance in the report are the recommendations, which help the institution in averting possible reputational risk to the institution. Student Ombudsman Annual Reports are available for perusal should the need arise.

1. The total unconfirmed (maximum) amount of Community Works Programme (CWP) stipends paid to possible non-qualifying government employees for the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2020 was R6 300 997,00. This unconfirmed amount involves about 534 government employees in 62 national and provincial departments.

2. The  Director-General of the Department of Cooperative Governance (DCoG) in January 2022 wrote letters to the Directors-General and Heads of Department of all 62 departments to investigate the matter and to either confirm the allegations of double-dipping or to provide evidence to clear findings.  To date 25 departments responded to all findings and 37 departments have responded either partially or not at all.  Findings to the value of R369 640,50 have been cleared and findings to the value of R980 290,50 have been confirmed.  Of the confirmed findings, R769 226,00 is in the process of being recovered and R183 447,00 has been written off since the individuals have left government and are also no longer participating in the CWP. Litigation through the State Attorney is not economical as the individual amounts are small.

a) R12 090,00 has been recovered to date.

b) The Department cannot take disciplinary action directly against or recover funds from persons employed by other government departments.  It is the responsibility of the respective Accounting Officers to take disciplinary action and to recover funds.  The Auditor-General has been requested to also provide the details of findings to the audit managers of the 62 Departments to ensure that Accounting Officers take the necessary action.

It is the responsibility of the MEC for Local Government to invoke section 106 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000. The Department has been informed by the province that there has not been any invocation of section 106 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act at Makana Local Municipality.

In light of the fire that occurred on the 31st of October 2022, destroying 28 informal structures in Pantas Hill Informal Settlement, the eThekwini Municipality intervened urgently and supplied building materials for the households to rebuild their informal structures.

As a long-term solution for permanent housing for the residents of Pantas, the eThekwini Municipality appointed professionals to undertake relevant feasibility studies on the possible upgrade of the existing portion of land. However, the result of the feasibility study revealed that the existing portion was not feasible for development.

The Municipality is currently in the process of identifying alternative suitable land close to the existing informal settlement, for the construction of new houses. The number of houses will be determined upon completion of the planning and design processes.

1. Traditional leaders who are remunerated are not permitted to simultaneously serve as remunerated public servants.

2. The Department of Traditional Affairs (DTA) does not have at its disposal, information on traditional leaders presently appointed in remunerated positions in the public service because such information is the competency of provincial departments of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs.

The Department is studying the report of the Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of Racism at Stellenbosch University (Khampepe Report) and its findings.   The report will have a significant impact on Stellenbosch University and may well offer significant lessons to other South African universities. However, the Department does not prescribe specific strategies to the universities. Universities in South Africa are autonomous but accountable to the Department of Higher Education and Training. In this regard, each university should study the Commission’s report, its findings and recommendations and consider lessons to learn for effective changes.

The circumstances and environments of our institutions of higher learning are unique to each individual institution. Their individual histories; cultures and circumstances are not the same. Therefore, there is no one solution to a problem that could be applied across the sector in this regard. Each university is encouraged to interpret the recommendations and make them relevant to its campuses where necessary. This also applies to ‘first-year welcoming programmes’ which are designed according to the various circumstances at each campus and, also, taking into consideration the specific needs of the university and its students. Therefore, there can be no single prescription made to all the universities.

The Department has its own programmes in place which seek to monitor the transformation of the system, working together with the Council on Higher Education. Reports from the monitoring unit provide an opportunity to reflect on transformation issues in the system and how transformation can better be monitored in the public university system.

Moreover, the Department is implementing the University Capacity Development Programme (UCDP), which is focused on advancing the transformation agenda in university education system in three critical areas: student development/success, staff development and programme/curriculum development. All universities are allocated an annual grant (the University Capacity Development Grant) and are required to use the grant to implement approved three-year project plans (2021–2023) which address the transformation imperatives of the UCDP in its three focus areas as identified above. Each university develops and implements projects and activities that are specific and unique to the University to address transformation needs. This is a resource that can be utilised by universities to support students holistically, through a range of student support initiatives that include academic support, psychosocial support and life skills.

2. The Department of Cooperative Governance (DCoG) has presented the reviewed State of Local Government Report and has facilitated the drafting of Municipal Support and Intervention Plans (MSIPs) in collaboration with key sector departments (Water and Sanitation, Human Settlements, Energy, Environment), the South African Local Government Association (SALGA), provincial COGTAs and municipalities. The DCoG through the Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA) continues to strengthen the capacity of municipalities by providing technical support on infrastructure development and service delivery through deploying 73 professionally registered built environment officials to municipalities across the country. Additional programmes implemented to support municipalities include Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for artisans, water and wastewater process controllers and other technical training courses, partnerships with institutions of higher learning to provide much needed skills at local government.

3. The prerogative to institute consequence management vests in the Municipal Councils. The following legal instruments have been put in place to enable municipal councils to fulfil their constitutional obligations:

1) Disciplinary Regulations for Senior Managers, 2011,

2) Municipal Regulations on Financial Misconduct Procedures and Criminal Proceedings, 2014 and

3) The Disciplinary Procedure Collective Agreement for staff below management echelon, 2018.

The average overall attrition rate of teachers in public schools ranges between 3%-5% which is relatively low by international standards; and thus, suggests a high retention rate overall. The Department, through its internal analysis and collaborative research with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and partners, such as ReSEP-Stellenbosch University, has taken note of the high retirement wave in the next 10 or more years; and working closely with the latter! to address this concern.

The research into the retirement of South African teachers was also done by ReSEP-Stellenbosch University, which acknowledged that South Africa's universities appear prepared to deal with the retirement of teachers, and that university output is on a sound trajectory, and should be able to deal with a demand for a larger workforce.

In addition, and in anticipation of the injection of a high number of new entrants into the system, the Department will intensify the rollout of a comprehensive induction programme. In short, the programme provides holistic support to new teachers, covering not only personal development, but professional and social support. This induction programme will ensure a smooth assimilation of young teachers into the system.

No, the Department has however issued a circular to all its local front offices directing them on the process and the email address to be used by offices to update or amend the marital status of individuals including the deceased on the National Population Register(NPR).

The relevant details should include the following:

1. Affidavit from a family member confirming that the deceased person was never married.
2. ID copy of the deceased person
3. ID copy of the informant
4. Copy of death certificate

The Department, if furnished with the details as alluded to above, will investigate and analyse the veracity of the information, and update the details on NPR accordingly.

1. Yes, as at 1 July 2022, all Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) receiving municipalities were allowed and encouraged to utilise up to 5 per cent of their respective MIG allocations to fund activities related to the development of an Infrastructure Asset Management Plan (IAMP). Furthermore, municipalities that have non-compliance pre-directives or directives with the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) may spend up to 10 per cent of their allocations for the urgent repair and refurbishment of water and sanitation infrastructure to restore functionality. These MIG conditions were included in the Division of Revenue Bill (DORA) published in the Government Gazette No. 45903 of 11 February 2022. These reforms were implemented in an effort to ensure that municipalities do not only focus on capitalization, but also set aside funding and invest in maintenance (asset care) of infrastructure.

The Department of Corporate Governance (DCOG) through the Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA) continues to deploy professionally registered built environment practitioners (Civil and Electrical Engineers as well as Town and Regional Planners) to municipalities to provide technical support and advice on developing and implementing infrastructure maintenance plans. To date MISA, has deployed 73 professionally registered built environment practitioners to support municipalities in accordance with the District Development Model (DDM).

2. None of the 18 municipalities are reported to have fully implemented their infrastructure maintenance plans. The progress will be measured at the end of this financial year (2022/23) as the MIG reforms focusing on Asset Management, Repairs and Maintenance commenced on 1 July 2022. However, it is worth noting that there is paradigm shift towards prioritizing asset care and activities of repairs and maintenance of infrastructure by municipalities as assessed from the business plans being received for project prioritisation.

The Higher Education Act makes provision for the Minister to appoint a person as Administrator, if any of the following circumstances occur:

a) An audit of the financial records of a public higher education institution or the report by an independent assessor or any other report or information reveals financial or other maladministration of a serious nature or serious undermining of the effective functioning of the public higher education institution.

b) If the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that the council of the public higher education institution concerned has failed to comply with the directive within the stated period, or the steps taken fail to remedy the deficiency within a reasonable period.

c) the council of the public higher education institution requests such appointment; or

d) if the council of the public higher education institution is deemed to have resigned (i.e., 75 per cent or more of the members of the council of a public higher education institution resign at a meeting of council.

Three institutions were placed under administration since 2019, namely UFH, VUT and MUT. This is out of 26 public higher education institutions. 

UFH:  Several governance challenges arose at UFH.  Additional details can be found in the report of the Independent Assessor (gazette 42902, dated 13 December 2019). The University Council also found itself in a dilemma as it was unable to reach the required quorum at most of its meetings, which rendered the Council unable to make critical decisions. As a result, the University management was hampered by the inability of Council to meet and discharge its responsibilities.

The problems in the university and within Council continued through until April 2019 when the Minister intervened by appointing an Administrator to take over the functions of the Council. The Administration period came to an end in November 2020, and stability is evident in the Council. 

VUT: Within a decade of VUT being placed under administration, from June 2018 the Minister received correspondence from stakeholders and people from within the University community making allegations and counter-allegations of maladministration, governance, and management challenges. The correspondences revealed challenges relating to governance, management, financial management, the conflicts exacerbated by the existence of factions within Council and management. The circumstances led to the resignation of several members of Council during April 2019, which rendered Council unable to reach the required quorum at most of its meetings and ultimately prevented it and management from discharging their responsibilities.

The subsequent resignation of Council in August 2019 necessitated an intervention at the level of an administrator.  Since the departure of the Administrator in August 2021, VUT has started addressing some historical governance problems. The Department continues to engage with the University about its governance and post-administration work. 

MUT: MUT has a long history of governance challenges. Recurring themes across the various assessors’ findings include governance and management problems characterized by conflict and role confusion; human resources capacity issues; a weak policy environment; a weakly formulated academic project; and an institutional identity and culture that is not consistent with the understanding of what a university should be.

The various independent assessor reports provided recommendations which should have been implemented to enable the University to recover from its problems. On one occasion, the University was placed under administration. Yet, despite this intervention, its problems persisted. The 2018 Report recommended an administration, however after careful consideration of various factors and engagement with the Council, the Minister decided not to appoint an Administrator but rather to issue a directive.

Following the suspension of the VC in April 2020 and the subsequent events, the appointment of yet another Independent Assessor became necessary. Although the Independent Assessor report did not recommend the dissolution of the Council; the Minister considered the Report of the Independent Assessor, the response of the Council, other developments, the advice of the Council on Higher Education; the history of the University; and other recent developments at the University. 

The Administrator's quarterly reports assist the Minister to obtain better insight into the problems which are identified, and how they can be resolved. The above examples show that the appointment of administrators follow serious considerations of what best serves the interest of the academic enterprise. The circumstances in the various institutions necessitated that the mandate of the administrator includes specific tasks to ensure that specific governance-related challenges are addressed.

a) Yes, in terms of the Births and Death Act (Act 51 of 1992), all notices of birth of any South African that meets the requirements must be registered within thirty (30) days, and a computerised birth certificate is issued. South African citizens not possessing the documentation required to apply for identity documents follow the Late Registration of Birth(LRB) process. The LRB process is in place to accommodate South Africans who have not registered their children within the stipulated 30 days of birth and to ensure that qualifying applicant(s) are assisted with birth registration, where young persons are unable to obtain their identity documents (IDs) as a result of not having evidence of birth registration or proof of birth.

In respect of LRB applications for births above thirty-one (31) days to one (1) year the applicants are not subjected to interviews by the screening committee panelists, however a document verification process is done on the spot with the applicant, and the ID number will be generated by the office of application and as such the birth certificate is issued on the same day, if systems are operational.

However the LRB process for births of one (1) year up to fifteen (15) years and above has more stringent measures, as it is done only at designated local front offices in the province and is subjected to a screening committee which composes of a Chairperson at a District Manager: Operations(DMO) level, Office Manager, Immigration Officer and Secretariat and an additional member.

The steps in the application process and the requirements are as follows:

• Complete DHA 24 (LRB), DHA 288 (LRB affidavit), and all other relevant forms.
• Online verification of the informant’s fingerprints against HANIS (Home Affairs National Identification System); or a full set of manual fingerprints taken to be submitted for verification at Head Office, to be verified against HANIS.
• After verification of fingerprints, they are taken back to office of application to continue with process of application.
• Applicant(s) to provide Proof of Birth issued by Health Facility where child was born or school letter with copy of admission register from school or baptismal certificate (issued within 5 years of birth).
• DHA office to conduct further background checks to authenticate the veracity of the information furnished, including information relating to the health facility / school records / church records, etc.
• Separate interviews conducted for the applicant and informant(s) of the person whose birth is to be registered, through the LRB screening committee, as established by DHA.
• If above approved by the LRB screening committee the File with all relevant information and supporting documents is sent to DHA Head Office (Pretoria) where the ID number will be generated, provided it complies with all requirements. If approval is not granted the matter is referred to Immigration Services for further investigation with the reasons provided.
• Short message service (sms) is activated to inform the applicant of the successful application and to collect the birth certificate.
• Birth Certificate to be collected at the office of application.
• Applicant can apply for an ID as a result.

b) The turnaround time is one hundred and eighty (180) days, provided that the process above is followed and all requirements are met. However regular adjudication by the screening committee is often delayed by among others:

• Non-availability of clients for scheduling of interviews as clients change contact details;

• Insufficient supporting documents on the application and
• Delays with fingerprint verification due to poor quality of fingerprints taken.

a) Yes, the Department has a procedure for dealing with reported fraudulent marriages and identity theft. To elaborate further,it must be highlighted that identity documents theft and fraud, in most cases, does not necessarily involve only the Departmental officials but also the public at large, contractors or service providers, etc., that very well form part of the corrupt activities.

The Department however assists victims of identity theft if the case is reported by the aggrieved or affected persons. Victims should immediately report identity theft through the Law enforcement agencies, mainly the South African Police Services(SAPS) and also the Departments’ Immigration Services Branch to assume investigations and to provide feedback on findings in this regard. Victims can also call the National Anti-Corruption Hotline to report cases of fraud and corruption. Where there is sufficient evidence provided and it can be proven without doubt that the marriage is fraudulent, the Department expunges such a marriage and provides feedback to the victims.

The Department due to the number of fraudulent marriages reported every year has implemented some measures that have largely contributed in reducing the number of fraudulent marriages, as follows:

• Introduction of a new marriage register (DHA-30) which requires a photo and thumbprint of the couples for verification purposes.
• The Department requires prospective couples to make an appointment with the nearest front office to verify the marital status and to subject themselves to brief interviews prior to registration of the marriage.
• On the day of the marriage, a couple must present the following documents to the person officiating at the marriage ceremony:
• Identity documents (for each person getting married).
• If a foreign national is marrying a South African citizen, the non-citizen should present a valid passport as well as well as a completed BI-31 Form (Declaration for the Purpose of Marriage, Letter of no impediment to confirm that he/she is not married in country of origin).
• If the marriage is for a minor (a person under the age of 18 years), written consent is needed in the form of DHA32 by both parents/ legal guardian or form DHA34 from the Commissioner of Child Welfare or a judge. In the case where the marriage is between minors under the ages of 18 for boys or 15 for girls, written consent from the Minister of Home Affairs will also be required.
• If any of the persons who are getting married are divorced, the final decree of divorce should be furnished.
• If any of the persons who are getting married are widowed, the deceased spouse’s death certificate must be submitted.

b) No, as indicated above in (a), the Department does not have challenges in providing identity documents to any individuals who found themselves married without their consent or due to identity theft. In terms of the Identification Act. (No. 68 of 1997) the Department provides identity documents to all citizens of the country provided that, their particulars are included in the population register and provided that they apply in the prescribed manner for an identity document.
