In Head Office for Payment: The municipality previously sent invoices starting from 2017 but their system could not go back as far as 2015 and the department needed a letter writing off the information but through engagement we went to the municipality and they were able to provide us with the information we needed hence this big amount to be paid |

Msane, Ms TP to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
Noting that the Republic has been elected to a three – year term in the United Nations Human Rights Council, what meaningful (a) contributions and (b) decisions will the Republic make regarding the instabilities caused by the western powers on the African continent?
Reply:
a) On 11 October 2022, South Africa was voted overwhelmingly by United Nations (UN) member states to take a seat in the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) beginning 1 January 2023 for the next period of three years (2023-2025). In support of its campaign, South Africa submitted pledges to the UN General Assembly detailing what meaningful contributions the country would make, namely, to work with other countries in the Council to promote and advance human rights globally; to ensure that the mandate of the Council (to promote human rights) is kept intact and that the Council is not ‘manipulated’ by other countries to promote their own political objectives (politicisation and securitisation of human rights); to ensure that the Council pays equal attention to all human rights (civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights); and that the agenda items dealing with the fight against racism and the self-determination of the Palestinian people, amongst other issues, are kept intact and their objectives promoted. Consistent with our constitutional commitment, South Africa intends to take its rightful place as a sovereign and responsible state in the HRC to contribute to the development of norms and standards in the field of human rights that will promote global cooperation, multilateralism, peaceful resolution of conflicts, women empowerment, and a system of interstate relations based on agreed rules (respect for the rule of international law) and not brute economic and military force.
b) With regard to decisions South Africa will make in the HRC regarding the instabilities caused by the western powers on the African continent, it should be noted that issues of peace and security are addressed by the UN, primarily through the UN Security Council and the General Assembly and not in the HRC. South Africa is opposed to the idea (which idea is cherished by some big powers) of “securitisation of human rights,” meaning, the use of human rights to achieve political-security objectives.
It is trite, that some of the five Permanent Members of the Security Council (P5) members try to bypass the Security Council (in order to avoid a situation where their resolutions would be vetoed by other P5 members) and use institutions such as the HRC (where no country has veto rights) to pursue their narrow political-security objectives. In this regard, South Africa will continue playing a key role in the HRC, particularly in the ongoing discussions aimed at considering how the activities of private military and security companies (PMSCs), transnational corporations (TNCs) and other business enterprise (OBEs) can be regulated to ensure that these entities do not violate human rights, and where human rights violations are detected, which flow from the activities of these entities. that accountability and redress are fostered.

Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
In light of the R3,2 billion Blended Finance Scheme with the Land Bank to assist farmers in which her department and the specified bank have each invested R325 million in each year, which will effectively result in the creation of a R650 million fund a year which will grow to R1,95 billion in three years, how does she and her department plan to ensure that (a) funds are not wasted through corruption and wasteful expenditure and (b) the fund benefits small and medium-scale farmers?
Reply:
a) To ensure that funds are not wasted through corruption and wasteful expenditure the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has done the following:
- Defined the categories of producers (smallholder, medium commercial and large commercial) to be supported through Blended Finance Scheme;
- Developed the grant gliding scale per category of farmer to be supported which clearly outlines the grant cap per producer category that cannot be exceeded;
- Ensured that the operational manual clearly spell out processes to be followed before funds are released to qualifying beneficiaries;
- Ensured that there is a checklist that guides the Fund Administrator on what information should be produced before payments are made; and
- Furthermore, the credit committee’s responsibility is to ensure that only commercially viable applications are supported and the grant caps per category are not exceeded.
b) To ensure the fund benefits smallholder and medium scale commercial farmers the DALRRD has done the following:
- Signed an agreement with Land Bank to prioritise only smallholder and medium scale commercial farmers;
- Developed the Economic Benefit Criteria calculator that automatically reject large scale producer applications once the information of the farmer is populated into the calculator;
- The Blended Finance Scheme Steering Committee will receive performance reports from the bank and evaluate if the programme is being implemented as agreed, and the targeted beneficiaries are being supported; and
- The scheme will be subjected to audit by the bank annually to assess if the programme is being implemented as agreed and if the controls put in place are adequate.

Graham-Maré, Ms SJ to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
(1) What is the current allocation of milk for each child for each day in the feeding schemes in each province; (2) whether the amount has changed in the past five years; if not, why not; if so, (3) whether the allocation is different based on age; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
(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.

Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1) With reference to his reply to question 2599 on 15 September 2022, what are the total legal costs incurred in Rands (a) by the National Arts Council of South Africa (NAC) from its own attorneys and (b) from unsuccessful litigation of opposing parties, whilst fighting the SA Roadies Association (SARA) (i) in the (aa) 2018-19, (bb) 2019-20, (cc) 2020-21 and (dd) 2021-22 financial years and (ii) from 1 April 2022 to date. (2) what are the reasons for proceeding to court and incurring such costs, considering that an agreement between NAC and SARA was concluded on 9 November 2021, where matters would be settled amicably?
Reply:
As I have indicated in my response to question 2599 by the Hon. Member that:
Legal costs are annually budgeted, however, it is difficult to make precise determination in budgeting for legal costs, as a result, periodically, the legal costs budget is adjusted informed by case at hand. This is in line with Audit requirements that prescribe adequate contingency provisioning for legal costs and in line with National Treasury Regulations that allow Goods and Services budget adjustments.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1). With regard to the total number of infrastructure jobs and/or projects that his department has been busy with since the 2018-19 financial year, what (a) is the proposed (i) starting date and (ii) completion date for the specified projects and (b)(i) total number of the projects have exceeded their completion date and (ii) with how much time. (2). whether additional funding was allocated towards the projects; if not, why not; if so, what total amount was allocated? NW5360E
Reply:
- There are seven Projects that are in the process of completion. These projects experienced various challenges that led them to delays.
- In light of the delays and stoppages that the projects encountered, it was a foregone conclusion that additional funds will be required to address cost escalations arising because of these delays, price adjustment provisions, and to do remedial work to the defective works that were discovered during the assessment of the quality of work done by previous contractors.
13 December 2022 - NW4371
Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1) On what date will the National Arts Council South Africa (NAC), which has four positions available, advertise the position of the (a) Chief Executive Officer, (b) Chief Financial Officer, (c) Communications Manager and (d) Arts Development Officer. (2) (a) what number of (i) full-time and (ii) part-time positions does the NAC have, (b) what total number of positions are vacant, (c) by what date will the vacant positions be filled, in the event that each position has been vacant for more than three months and (d) what are the reasons that the NAC is taking long to fill the vacancies? NW5496E
Reply:
1. The NAC will formerly advise the Department once the current processes for the recruitment of the CEO and CFO have been completed and advertisement published. Other vacancies that need to be filled in accordance with NAC’s budget and timing requirements will also be published upon approval of the advertisement of the positions. The NAC is completing its evaluations for the appointment of a recruitment firm for the filling of the CEO and CFO vacancies at the entity.
2.(a) (i) Full-time positions: 30
(ii) Part-time positions: 18
(b) Vacant positions: 5
(c) The NAC is completing its evaluations for the appointment of a recruitment firm for the filling of the CEO and CFO positions at the entity.
(d) The reduction of budgets restricts the filling of all desired vacancies, due to budgetary constraints NAC may fail to match expected salary expectations. Due to negative media reports, NAC stands in a position of disadvantage in attracting best suitable applicants.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(a). What (i) research methodology and (ii) work plan was used for the formation of the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra and (b) will he furnish Mrs V van Dyk with the concept document containing the detailed (i) scheduling and (ii) budget in this regard?
Reply:
The need of a National Orchestra is embedded in the revised White Paper, of the then Department of Arts and Culture, which was approved by cabinet in August 2018 and endorsed by parliament in February 2020. So, the Department did not have to prove the need of a National Orchestra. All it did was to implement one of the recommendations of the revised White Paper. In doing so, it followed a clear four-step process. The Department appointed a three-person committee of arts policy experts who travelled around the country consulting different organisations and stakeholders. And they reported to the Department.
The Department established a task team to formulate the objectives and the mission and the purpose of the National Orchestra. Part of this process was conducting international best practice for national orchestras and other orchestral development initiatives. Such as the El Sistema in Venezuela.
The Department entered into an engagement with the National Arts Council and this process led to a signed agreement with the National Arts Council.
The Department appointed a board of the National Orchestra, which actually runs the day-to-day affairs of this national institution.
Lastly, the Department together with the NAC and the National Orchestra, submitted comprehensive reports to the Portfolio Committee of Sport, Arts and Culture and engaged with them at least twice this year, including the meeting of 16 September 2022.

Kruger, Mr HC to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether small-, medium- and micro-enterprise farmers are defined in her department’s policies on the agricultural sector; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
In terms of the Beneficiary Selection and Land Allocation Policy, producers in the agricultural sector are categorised as follows:
- “Household Producer (Vulnerable)”: Is defined as a producer or entity that produces primarily for household consumption[1] and has limited resources and skills to operate a market-oriented production system. This category includes child headed households and households producing on communal land and commonages that are registered as indigents or they meet the criteria for registration as indigents with their municipality.
- “Household Producer (Subsistence)”: Is defined as a producer or entity that produces primarily for household consumption. These producers are not or would not be classified as indigents by their municipality. They may market limited surplus production with an annual turnover of less than R50 000.
- “Medium Scale Commercial Producer”: Is defined as an individual or entity that produces and sells agricultural commodities for the purpose of making a profit. These are established enterprises producing for market to make a profit with an annual turnover ranging from R1 000 001 – R10 million) and are eligible for VAT registration.
These categorisations are also contained and expanded on as outlined in the draft National Policy on Comprehensive Producer Development Support.
-
The word household consumption includes own use of non-edible agricultural products such as cotton etc. ↑

Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1) With reference to the National Arts Council (NAC), (a) what are the relevant details of the NAC policy on the extension of acting in positions, (b)(i) who are those that are currently acting and (ii) in what capacity and (c) has he found that the specified policy applied was in order regarding their acting and/or extension appointment. (2) what is the total number of vacant positions in the NAC. (3) whether any of the vacant positions have been vacant for more than three months; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the reasons that the NAC is taking so long to fill such positions. (4) what is the involvement of the Council Chairperson in the vacancies (5) what is the name of the former marketing and communications manager of the NAC?
Reply:
(1)(a). The Labour Relations Act stipulates that the maximum period for acting in a higher position shall not be more three (3) months. The NAC allows an employee to act in a higher position for a three (3) months period and thereafter allow for rotation (where there are suitable candidates) if the position is still vacant. Should a need persist, the acting period can be extended.
(b) Currently three people are serving in an acting capacity for the positions of CEO, CFO and the Marketing and Communications Manager.
(c) The policy was applied in that extensions were granted and approved.
(2). The NAC has six (6) vacancies
(3). Yes, five positions have been vacant for more than three (3) months. The reason is that the NAC had to procure the services of a recruitment agency to handle the recruitment of the CEO and CFO position. The other three positions have been delayed due to budgetary constraints.
(4). The Chairperson is involved in the recruitment process of the Chief Executive Officer.
13 December 2022 - NW4312
Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether, with regard to the steep challenges the Republic is facing in relation to issues such as food insecurity and unemployment, her department has improved its rural strategy which would promote and increase rural incomes; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether, considering that importing food increases the cost of food for South Africans, her department has considered the establishment and/or support of a southern regional trade bloc as a way to create a more food secure region through the exploitation of diversity in the region; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. Yes. The Integrated Rural Development Sector Strategy is being processed for gazetting for public comments in the second quarter of 2023. The strategy focuses on strengthening four pillars:
- The rural economy;
- Community and human development;
- Rural safety and social cohesion; and
- Cooperative governance and local government.
The Strategy seeks to coordinate and manage sectoral rural development interventions and catalytic projects addressing challenges facing rural communities in line with the National Development Plan (2030) and District Development Model (DDM).
Some of the work mentioned in the strategy has commenced already. These include improving farm access and village access rural roads, working with the Department of Cooperative Governance (DCOG) and Provincial Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development in the identification and establishment of 5 agri-hubs and agro-processing facilities; supporting at least 71 farmer production support units to become functional to adequately support smallholder farmers for food production and commercial activities by 2024 and to implement, in the medium to long-term, the development and support of 7 other agri-parks including identification, drawing and locking in of investors through a dedicated investment strategy. This also includes targeted land redistribution to rural women, youth and persons with disabilities.
The strategy also emphasises working with the key sector departments on other rural economic challenges e.g., the rehabilitation of dams and rural bridges. The Department has further aligned the strategy with the Agriculture and Agro-Processing Masterplan, working with the National House on Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership, and will identify catalytic projects in terms of the 8 other approved masterplans with the relevant lead departments.
The strategy is aligned to the Rural Safety Strategy and the Department currently participates in the Rural Safety Priority Committees. The Department will also partner with the Department of Basic Education on the development of Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDs) in rural areas and the scaling up of the Rural Education Assistant Programme in collaboration with the Department of Basic Education, targeting unemployed rural youth to improve literacy and numeracy in rural schools.
2. The decision to establish regional trade blocks is beyond the scope of the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development. Such decisions are usually led by the Department of International Relations and Trade and the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition. Additionally, the Republic of South Africa has ratified the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which works through the regional value chains to promote food security initiatives in the continent. One of the regional value chains that are promoted under the AfCFTA is agriculture and agro-processing. Under the afore-mentioned regional value chains, the various regional economic communities (REC’s) are encouraged to develop agricultural hubs that are aligned to prioritized commodities such as horticulture, grains, tea, poultry, etc.

Montwedi, Mr Mk to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
With regard to her visit in Taung in the North West province in 2020, where she made commitments which were not implemented thus far, by what date will (a) the farmers of Taung see the implementation of the Farmer Production Support Unit model and (b) she (i) revamp and (ii) return the Lesedi stores to be used by farmers in Taung?
Reply:
(a),(b)(i)-(ii) DALRRD is unable to commit a specific date due to the following reason: in 2021, the Directorate: Rural Infrastructure Development within the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) in the North West Province planned to implement the first phase of the project by fencing the Old Lesedi Building premises and renovating the guardroom to enable DALRRD to provide security. Phase 2 of the project was planned to unfold in the following years. However, the plans for infrastructure for the implementation failed due to alleged illegal tenants occupying the Old Lesedi building, who refuse to move. The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is in the process of negotiating with the mentioned tenants.
However, an alternative site for livestock farmers was identified and some work was done such as paving of the access road into the auction pen site i.e. the identified Farmer Production Support Unit (FPSU) site; renovation of the existing two houses; drilling and equipping of the borehole; construction of the guard room for security personnel; construction of kraals for small stock and construction of the pavilion at the auction pen.
In terms of production and mechanisation support, DALRRD through the Directorate: Cooperatives and Enterprise Development facilitated the establishment of the Taung FPSU and has supported these farmers with the following:
- 98kw Tractor;
- 1 x small Lucerne baler;
- 2 x Lucerne mowers; and
- 3 x Lucerne rakes.
These implements were registered and are currently being used by the farmers in the Taung Irrigation Scheme. The above support amounted to R3 195 855.75 during the 2021/ 2022 financial year.

Msane, Ms TP to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
How will the lack of ocean security in the Indian Ocean affect the Ocean economy in the context of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade area?
Reply:
The Indian Ocean region faces many traditional and non-traditional safety and security challenges including piracy, armed robberies at sea, terrorism, human trafficking, irregular movement of persons, drug trafficking, illicit trafficking in wildlife, trafficking of weapons, crimes in the fisheries sector, degradation of ocean health, unlawful exploitation of marine resources and climate change with its related repercussions on environmental security.
Over 60% of the world’s trade passes through the Indian Ocean and nine African states are members of the Association. Therefore, any impact on trade will impact on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). It is therefore important that it is able to succeed and that the safety of sea routes from any of the listed threats is crucial.
In this regard, the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) has an established Working Group on Maritime Safety and Security which coordinated the IORA’s role in securing trade routes. Covering a vast maritime zone of nearly 68.56 million sq. km, IORA’s Maritime Security includes elements of international peace and security, sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence, security from crimes at sea, security of resources and environmental security, while Maritime Safety is concerned with training (both technical and personnel), transport, construction and equipment-related issues, and assistance in distress situations.
A focussed discussion on the AfCFTA is critical to help guide the IORA’s role in enabling the free trade area to ensure mutual benefit. This discussion is encouraged by both the African Union (AU), and the IORA. The IORA has proposed a draft MoU with the AU and this would be crucial to consolidating Africa’s regional maritime interests.
The existing Maritime Safety and Security (MSS) initiatives are the following:
- The ‘IORA Working Group on Maritime Safety and Security’, also known as the WGMSS, established in September 2018 and presently chaired by Sri Lanka. In August 2019, Sri Lanka hosted the First Meeting of the IORA Maritime Safety and Security Working Group, which finalized the regional Work Plan drawn up for a period of two years (2019 – 2021). This meeting provided an opportunity for Member States to discuss the way forward and to initiate concrete actions in the sphere of MSS.
- During the Council of Ministers (COM) held in Dhaka on 24 November 2022, India advised that the Discussion Paper on the draft legal frameworks in the Indian Ocean region in the field of Maritime Safety and Security had been finalised. The draft discussion paper will be taken forward by the Working Group on Maritime Safety and Security (WGMSS) for further implementation.
- Sri Lanka to host the Third Meeting of the IORA WGMSS in the first quarter of 2023 (possibly March), along with a Workshop on the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
- IORA has also devised flagship initiatives such as the Indian Ocean Dialogue, which is held annually, bringing together key representatives including scholars, experts, analysts, and policy makers from think tanks, civil societies and governments from IORA Member States to discuss pertinent issues including MSS.
- The IORA aims at building upon existing national, regional and multilateral measures to support a more effective utilization of resources for enhanced cross-border cooperation and sharing of knowledge, experiences and best practices to secure the Indian Ocean as an ocean strengthening maritime cooperation for a peaceful, stable, and prosperous region.

Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1) What are the relevant details of the monitoring and evaluation process for the call centre of the National Arts Council (NAC). (2) whether he has found it feasible for one person to operate the call centre; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details. (3) what (a) is the name of the Chairperson of the Marketing and Communications Unit and (b) are the reasons that the chair and other council members are influencing management decisions on the appointment of the specified role. (4) whether he has found that the NAC is adhering to the requirements of the Department of Labour with regard to staff taking their maternity leave; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details. (5) what are the relevant details of the process followed to submit approved motivations to payroll?
Reply:
1. Once the reports are received, they are categorised and analysed according to the topic. Then investigated by the relevant team assigned to a particular identified category. Thereafter the team investigates and depending on the outcome of the investigation, it can either be resolved and closed or taken for further action.
2. The NAC call centre is staffed by five people.
3.(a) The Chairperson of the Marketing and Communications Unit is Mr. Tembe.
(b). Council Members do not influence any decisions on the appointment of staff members, that function would be under the authority of the CEO. Where an instance has previously been proven to have occurred, it was dealt with expeditiously and appropriately by the NAC, and it did not involve the position of any member within the marketing and communications department.
4. The NAC is proud to adhere to the requirements of the Department of Labour with regards to staff taking maternity leave. The NAC will always reaffirm the rights of women to be pregnant in the workplace and for them to retain their jobs notwithstanding pregnancy. Preventing staff to perform their duties/roles due to being pregnant concerns is unethical, discriminatory, and prejudicial. The NAC does not prescribe to such regressive acts against women.
5. A motivation is drafted by the relevant Manager and sent to the CEO’s office for approval. Once approved, it is submitted to HR for submission to the finance unit to process.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
What are the relevant details of the detailed budget and business plan of the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra (MNPO), including the (a)(i) total number of musicians, conductors and support staff who will be permanently employed and (ii) proposed salaries as well as other remunerations and (b) breakdown of budgets for all planned concerts and tours for 2022, including (i) transport and accommodation, (ii) venue and instrument hire and transportation, as well as (iii) the estimated income from the concerts and tours and (iv) an indication of (aa) what amount of the total amount designated to the MNPO has already been made available to Mr Bongani Tembe, The Chief Executive Officer of MNPO and (bb) how it was used?
Reply:
The Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra (MNPO) is updating its business plan. This process is being informed by the realities on the ground and the continuous engagement with various stakeholders. The MNPO board will then hold a strategic session early next year and forward the revised business plan to the National Arts Council of South Africa first, before it is forwarded to the Department, before 31 March 2023.
While the Department transfers ring-fenced funds to the MNPO via the National Arts Council, the MNPO has a board of women and men of the highest integrity, who then run that institution and are required and expected to report back on utilization of all resources provided. At the end of the financial year, the MNPO board will submit audited financial statements to the National Arts Council, which will contain financially related matters. The NAC will the scrutinize the AFS and then report to the Department. If there are any serious problems, with the AFS, then the Department will take the necessary steps, but it doesn’t act before that process has been followed. In this case, based on engagement with the NAC and the MNPO board, there are no indications of any problems.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1). (a)(i) On what date and (ii) where did his department advertise for the appointment of the service provider to conduct a feasibility study for the establishment of the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra, (b) what total number of applications were received, (c) which service provider was appointed and (d) who sat on the panel. (2).what are the terms of reference for the appointment of the service provider to conduct a feasibility study for the establishment of the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra?
Reply:
1. It is not mandatory that the Department advertises a tender for and appoint a service provider to conduct certain tasks that are needed for service delivery. A service provider is only appointed in certain special circumstances such as instances where the capacity and expertise are limited or not existing. The purpose is for the service provider to provide solutions and services within the scope of work and their breadth of knowledge. In this instance, a task team made of experts from the sector was appointed to provide the needed solution.
2. The terms of reference for the task team were broadly to conduct a feasibility study for the establishment of the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra and to develop a concept document thereof. Inputs were received from all the members of the team who participated in the process. The team of experts included the following: Mr Louis Heyneman (CEO of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra), Mr Kutlwano Masote (Independent Educator and Conductor), Mr Lindumuzi Mngoma (Independent Educator and Conductor), Mr Bongani Tembe (CEO of the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra), Mr Shadrack Bokaba (former Acting CEO NFVF), Ms Julie Diphofa ( Acting CEO NAC), and Ms Lindi Ngcobo (Project Manager: NAC).

Msane, Ms TP to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
In light of the fact that the State of Palestine and the Kingdom of Eswatini are facing the biggest forms of oppression and persons are being brutally killed without any form of intervention from the United Nations’ bodies, what is the position of the Republic regarding the specified countries?
Reply:
With regard to the State of Palestine, South Africa’s position has always been clear and consistent. South Africa has called on the UN to decisively act on all conflicts and not ignore long-standing ones such as Palestine that has been on the United Nations agenda throughout the seven decades of the existence of the UN.
Furthermore, South Africa’s stance is that Israel should be classified as an “Apartheid State” and a Committee be established under the auspices of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to verify that it meets the criteria. South Africa is of the view that there should be effective ways to make use of the General Assembly to call for international action on Israel.
South Africa remains deeply concerned as to how Israel’s policies impact on the human rights and the unequal treatment of Palestinians, the application of different standards in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and Israel’s failure to ensure the protection and welfare of Palestinians living under its occupation.
In this regard, South Africa has expressed its support for Palestine’s request to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to urgently render an advisory opinion and has stressed the need for revitalized international action amid mounting violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, especially in East Jerusalem.
With regard to the situation in the Kingdom of Eswatini, South Africa is working with other Member States within the framework of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to assist Eswatini to address the worrying political and security situation in that country. During South Africa’s tenure as the Chair of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security, South Africa facilitated a high-level and technical fact-finding mission to Eswatini. The outcome of this mission was a Draft Framework for the Conduct of National Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue in Eswatini, which was shared with the Government of Eswatini. South Africa is still awaiting feedback from the Government of Eswatini
Meanwhile, the Government of Eswatini briefed the 42nd SADC Summit on the security situation in that country. The Summit mandated the Organ Troika on Politics, Defence and Security, which is now chaired by Namibia, assisted by the Panel of Elders (PoE) and Secretariat, to conduct a follow-up fact-finding mission to Eswatini. The Chairperson of the Organ, President Hage Geingob of Namibia, paid a courtesy call on His Majesty King Mswati III on 18 November 2022. An Extra-Ordinary Organ Troika Summit, which also include Eswatini is slated to take place in January 2023. South Africa believes that such persistent regional efforts, and not unilateral efforts, will yield positive results in resolving the situation in Eswatini as was the case with other countries in the region that went through challenging political transitions.

Breedt, Ms T to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether she will furnish Ms T Breedt with a breakdown of how the R3,2 billion of the Blended Finance Scheme (BFS) launched by her department and the Land Bank to assist farmers, as indicated in the media statement dated 24 October 2022, will be spent; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) what are the requirements to qualify for the BFS; (3) how will the funds be broken down demographically; (4) whether she will make a statement on the matter; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. Yes the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has committed R325 million annually for the next three years and has signed an agreement with Land Bank for 10 years, bringing the commitment of DALRDD to not less than R3,25 billion over the 10 year period.
The funds will be used to blend with the loan that Land Bank will issue to black smallholder and medium scale commercial producers at 60% grant for smallholder producers but not exceeding R15 million per transaction and 50% grant for medium scale commercial producers but not exceeding R30 million per transaction.
The Blended Fund facility will be used by the parties to provide loan and grant funding to black producers or majority black owned enterprises for:
- The acquisition of primary agricultural land parcels and/or commercially viable agricultural sector value chain operating entities (agri-businesses);
- Support existing operations for expansion in production on privately owned or land reform farms (Brownfields and Greenfields operations);
- The purchasing of capital equipment and infrastructure (“CAPEX”);
- Working capital and/or production loan (“Production Facility”); and
- Insurance pool provision for subsidisation of insurance cover for the applicable farmers (capped at 6% (six percent) of each total Grant Funding Facility amount).
2. The following are the requirements to qualify for Blended Finance Scheme:
- South African citizens with a valid identity document involved in agriculture or value adding enterprises;
- Black owned and managed farming enterprises that are commercially viable in commodities prioritised in the AAMP, Aquaculture and Forestry;
- In the case of Joint Ventures, the non-black partner should have 40% but not less than 26% ownership in the enterprise;
- Enterprises with 10% Farm worker profit sharing;
- Transactions that are youth owned, women owned or owned by people with disability and military veterans; and
- Qualifying applicants who are 60 years and above but demonstrate evidence of a successor.
3. This is a national scheme accessible to all provinces equally. The scheme is demand driven and will support applicants from all provinces. The steering committee will evaluate the spread of support and address any poor take-up from any province by engaging the bank officials in that province as well as the relevant department of agriculture.
4. No. A statement was made at the launch on 24 October 2022, which was broadcasted in local newspapers and the SABC news.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(a) What are the relevant details of the (i) plan and (ii) budget which will be submitted for the proposed artistic development of young musicians, (b) in which towns and provinces will such development take place, (c) how will the Chief Executive Officer avoid (i) any duplication of efforts and/or (ii) undermining the artistic development of other philharmonic orchestras and (d)(i) who will teach the young musicians and (ii) how will those who teach be compensated?
Reply:
(a). The Department does not micromanage organisations that it funds to the level of getting involved in transportation, accommodation matters, instrument hire, etc. These organisations have boards and other experts who are charged with managing them.
13 December 2022 - NW4444
Madlingozi, Mr BS to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
How does he justify launching the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra, a project that will cost R21,5 million each year and benefit a few white persons when a lot of artists, creatives, sportsmen and sportswomen, who are black in majority, are still crying to be saved from the COVID-19 pandemic devastation? NW5572E
Reply:
We are fully aware that an incorrect narrative has been promoted with the sole purpose of causing mistrust on what the department is doing. However, the truth of the matter is that the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra sets a new trajectory for addressing apartheid legacies and/or the past injustices in general. These practices are so pervasive and only aimed at maintaining the status quo of separate development. To put this into context, funding of the orchestras in the country remained skewed and only benefited certain social grouping, in particular the white minority. While policy restructuring was done in the 1990s, with the creation of a National Arts Council (NAC) a process that centralised the distribution of arts and culture funding, the annual ring-fenced funding for the three orchestras in three different provinces was also established and kept until recently. It is well known that this practice largely benefited the KwaZulu Natal Philharmonic Orchestra (Durban), the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra (Johannesburg) and of course the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (Cape Town), to the exclusion and at the expense of many township orchestras, let alone the impediment of the development of orchestras in other provinces.
Without the policy changes that was introduced recently, the R21,5 million would have been directed to support the previously advantaged particularly the KwaZulu Natal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra and Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. I am certain that this is not what we want. Our progressive policies demand, inter alia, greater black economic participation and access to basic social services for all. Therefore, the orchestral landscape cannot be left behind to be same. As progressive government, our intention is to take development of orchestral music to other areas other than Cape Town, Joburg and Durban so that we can advance the country and develop our indigenous orchestras and genre. For instance, the National Orchestra has started making real changes to touch the lives of the previously disadvantaged.
I am proud to announce to the house that the National Orchestra is currently in consultation with the Mpumalanga Chamber Orchestra to provide necessary assistance and training, this as part of development of orchestral music in the Mpumalanga province. We never had something like this before in Mpumalanga, as well as other provinces such as Limpopo, Northwest, and the Northern Cape to mention but few. As part of this drive, the National Orchestra will on 10 December 2022 send about 30 professional musicians and a conductor to be part of the Mpumalanga Chamber Orchestra concert. Prior to the concert, a workshop and rehearsals will be conducted, this as part of skills development.
Informed by the Revised White Paper on Arts, Culture and Heritage, it is our intention to effectively contribute to the elimination of poverty, inequality, unemployment, and the building of a cohesive and united society in which the diverse artistic, cultural and heritage traditions of the society, flourish. We can only achieve this if the available resources are spread beyond the colonial urban centres of Cape Town Durban and Johannesburg but into the peri-urban and rural communities.

Ngcobo, Mr SL to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
Whether any agreements were signed / or agreed to during the visit by the Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Mr A Botes, to the (a) Czech Republic and (b) Lithuania; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
a) Czech Republic
No.
Why not: No bilateral agreements were scheduled for signing, and none were agreed to during the visit.
(b) Lithuania
No.
Why not: No bilateral agreements were scheduled for signing, and none were agreed to during the visit.
Additional details on the Czech Republic Visit
Deputy Minister Botes undertook an official visit to the Czech Republic from 10 to 12 October 2022 at the invitation of his Czech counterpart, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Martin Tlapa. The purpose of the visit was to conduct political consultations, promote trade and investments, and explore more areas of cooperation.
While in Prague, Deputy Minister Botes also promoted economic diplomacy in line with the Department of International Relations and Cooperation’s priority focus, and promoted cooperation in areas of trade and investment, higher education and science and technology, amongst others. In addition, the Deputy Minister met with existing and prospective Czech investors.
Economic relations between South Africa and Czech Republic are managed through a Joint Committee on Economic Cooperation (JCEC). The JCEC was established through the signing of an Agreement on Economic Cooperation between the Government of the Republic of South Africa and the Government of the Czech Republic in December 2006.
In terms of Agreement, the Department of Science and Innovation is currently engaged in a process of developing a science technology and innovation cooperation instrument with the Czech Republic. Much progress has been achieved, negotiations are being finalised and both sides are in agreement with the contents and provisions of the draft partnership agreement.
Although the formal bilateral Defence relationship is currently still limited in scope, it has progressed to the level where it was formalised by means of the signing of two bilateral agreements. Despite the two agreements, high level contacts have been established and defence-industrial cooperation has expanded during the recent past. No substantial business transactions have been concluded recently. It is, however, foreseen that future defence-industrial cooperation has the potential to expand and that joint ventures could become a possibility.
Additional details on the Lithuania Visit
Deputy Minister Botes undertook an official visit to Lithuania from 12 to 13 October 2022 at the invitation of his Lithuanian counterpart, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Mantas Adomėnas. The purpose of the visit was to conduct political consultations, promote trade and investments, and explore areas of technical cooperation. The visit was also in recognition of 30 years of bilateral relations with Lithuania.
During the visit Deputy Minister Botes met with Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Mantas Adomėnas, the Vice Minister of Economy and Innovation, and participated in a Business Roundtable hosted by the Vilnius Chamber of Commerce and Crafts.
In terms of bilateral Agreements, South Africa and Lithuania had signed a Visa Waiver Agreement for Diplomatic and Official passport holders on 29 August 2022. Parliamentary processes have been completed on both sides and the Agreement will enter into force on 14 December 2022. An agreement on the Avoidance of Double Taxation is under consideration by the parties but this did not form part of the Deputy Minister’s discussions.
13 December 2022 - NW3842
Bergman, Mr D to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
Whether, in light of the fact that the Republic has over the years campaigned for the democratisation of the United Nations Security Council by advocating for the fair representation, the Government is considering to discontinue the campaign to be Africa’s representative on the Council seeing that it has lost its moral standing after it failed to support resolutions condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine or the annexation of its territory; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The United Nations Security Council should play a constructive role in the resolution of conflict, in line with its Charter mandate for the maintenance of international peace and security.
We regret that in the case of the war in Ukraine the Security Council continues to abdicate this mandated responsibility. The Security Council has thus far failed the people of Ukraine as it has in the case of long-standing matters on its agenda such as the situation in Palestine and the Western Sahara.
A key reason for its failure to act is that the failure of the Council to reform and reflect current global dynamics.
South Africa will therefore continue to consistently call for the reform of the United Nations, including its Security Council, and to that end will continue to engage extensively with all member states of the United Nations to advance the reform agenda.
South Africa believes that there must be a common acknowledgment, particularly by those member states maintaining the status quo, that the international political and economic system remains unequal, unfair, unjust and represents a world created in the aftermath of the Second World War. The reform of the international order must therefore be primarily to ensure that the contemporary international order becomes equitable, fair, and just.
South Africa subscribes to the Ezulwini Consensus, agreed to by the African Union in 2005, which calls for two permanent, and five non-permanent seats for the African continent. Further, it states that the veto privilege, which accrues to the five permanent members of the Security Council should be abolished, but for as long as the privilege exists, it should be extended to new members of an extended permanent category in a reformed Council. The Ezulwini Consensus also states that the African Union would choose which African states will get the seats in a reformed permanent category of the Security Council.

Hlengwa, Mr M to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
How does her department, with regard to the 26,7 million that was written off as being part of the deposits not collected and attributed to bad revenue management and compromised capacity, intend to adequately capacitate and ensure that capacity is not compromised through the deployment of employees to missions (b) What measures are in place for overall better financial management in her department, considering the high irregular expenditure they have recorded?
Reply:
1. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) have been implemented. Chief Directorate Property and Facilities Management in the Department of International Relations and Cooperation liaises with the Missions on active accommodation lease agreements, as well as the signing of the indemnity forms once officials occupy the accommodation. Debt management is implemented once officials are informed of their date of return to South Africa by Corporate Management.
2. The current irregular expenditure has been reduced significantly in the last two financial years by terminating major irregular contracts and implementing audit action plan controls including a checklist, to curtail and prevent irregular expenditure. Policies, delegations and SOP are also being amended as per need and circulars are being drafted to address compliance matters.
The Department will also focus on finalising investigations and disciplinary actions and that must be finalised in line with the National Treasury Framework, to condone historical irregular expenditure.
A financial misconduct committee has been established in order to assist management with implementing consequence management within the whole department. Audit steering committee has also been appointed to strengthen financial control and oversee audit related matters.

Msane, Ms TP to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
What role is the Indian Ocean Rim Association playing in preventing ocean piracy and ocean crimes?
Reply:
South Africa views the Indian Ocean Region as a region of peace, stability, development, and prosperity within which to pursue the goal of promoting economic cooperation for the well-being and development of the countries and peoples of the Indian Ocean Rim.
The Indian Ocean Rim Association’s (IORA) Working Group on the Blue Economy has adopted in its workplan a programme of action for combating, amongst others, Illegal Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in the IORA region. The Working Group has also made progress in the assessment of capacity needs for the IORA region including, prioritising the exchange of information on IUU fishing vessels amongst IORA member states. Member states and dialogue partners are currently implementing appropriate measures against IUU vessels and other illegal activities. What is currently significant is the funding mechanism required to undertake military-type exercises and render training for maritime personnel, port managers, maritime inspectors, law enforcement and legal personnel within the IORA region.
The Maritime Safety and Security (MSS) Coordinating Country within IORA, which is Sri Lanka, has:
- Established legal frameworks in the Indian Ocean region in the field of Maritime security, working together with India.
- Held an IORA Workshop on Maritime Assistance, Search and Rescue, and Search and Rescue Exercise, working together with Australia.
The Indian Ocean Rim Association is therefore playing an important role in preventing ocean piracy and ocean crimes.

Hlengwa, Mr M to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
Whether her department, in light of the terror alert that the United States (US) government issued, regards our bilateral agreements with the US as being healthy and respectful; if not; what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) Whether her department regards the alert by Washington as a clear infringement of the territorial integrity of the Republic; if not, what is the position in this regard, if so, what are the relevant details; (3) Whether her department has conducted a threat assessment to verify the credibility of the alert; if not, why not; if so, (a) has her department engaged with the US on their chosen channels to broadcast the possible attack and (b) what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. South Africa continues to enjoy cordial bilateral relations with the United States, which are underpinned by robust cooperation across a wide range of sectors that are aligned to South Africa’s national interests and domestic priorities. The strategic nature of these relations has been reinforced by recent high-level engagements at Head of State, Minister and Director-General level, which were conducted in a spirit of mutual respect and a common desire to advance bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation in areas of shared interest and concern.
2. The Department considers it an unfortunate breach of diplomatic protocol. The Embassy was of the view that their actions were in accordance with their duty to warn American citizens of credible threats to safeguard US Government employees.
3. No. The mandate to conduct threat assessments lies with the Security Cluster.
a) The Department has conveyed to the US Embassy that sensitive information of this nature should be formally communicated to DIRCO in accordance with the relevant diplomatic protocols.
b) The security agencies from the two countries also have established channels of communication through which to engage and share information related to terrorist activities, amongst others. These channels should always be utilised to allow for proper assessment and communication to the public about possible terror attacks.

Bergman, Mr D to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation
Since the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia began in February 2022, the Government has always said that its position will always be guided by the principles of the United Nations (UN) Charter, does the government consider its failure to support resolutions condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine or the annexation of its territory to be in line with the principles of the UN Charter; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
South Africa attaches significant importance to the maintenance of international peace and security, a key mandate of the United Nations, through its Security Council.
South Africa has consistently maintained in relation to the Russia-Ukraine matter, like any other armed conflict, that diplomacy and negotiations are the best avenues towards durable peace. The position is not only premised on the strong belief that wars have no winners and that the real heroes are those that work for peace, but by Article 2(3) of Chapter I of the Charter of the United Nations that directs all Members to settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
Furthermore, Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations urges Member States to seek the pacific settlement of disputes that are likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security. Means of doing so include, inter alia, negotiation, enquiry, mediation and other peaceful means of the disputing parties. South Africa remains resolute in appealing to the parties to choose diplomacy and negotiation over violence to resolve their differences. A cessation of hostilities is thus required to create the necessary environment for a political process that would lead to sustainable peace in Ukraine.
Over and beyond advocating for the peaceful resolution of the conflict through diplomacy and negotiations, South Africa has further reiterated that the territorial integrity of States, including that of Ukraine, must be respected and that we reject all actions that undermine the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter, and International Law.
South Africa also believes that the UN Security Council should play a constructive role in the resolution of this conflict, in line with its Charter mandate for the maintenance of international peace and security. South Africa regrets that in the case of the war in Ukraine the Security Council continues to abdicate this mandated responsibility. Due to the paralysis of the Security Council on this issue, the UN General Assembly henceforth convened a Special Emergency Session to address the matter. Through this format, the General Assembly adopted five resolutions on the matter.
With regard to the voting, aside from the principle relating to diplomacy and negotiation over war being overlooked, South Africa abstained during the voting of the General Assembly resolutions on Ukraine because it believed the resolutions would further polarise the General Assembly, thus prolonging the war. The first four resolutions were devoid of actions that would persuade the parties to the conflict to engage in political dialogue to end the hostilities. Furthermore, the last resolution sought to create a problematic precedence for the General Assembly and exceptionalism that reparations matter in some cases and do not matter in others.
It should be underlined that during the past seven decades the General Assembly has heard clarion calls for reparations from slavery, colonialism, apartheid and from many other contemporary conflicts. Regrettably, in all these instances Member States have not been able to find agreement on reparations due to the opposition of many countries in the Global North. We need to avoid double standards if indeed all Member States have equal standing in the UN.
Article 14 of the United Nations Charter directs that the role of the General Assembly be guided by the interest of establishing peace when the provisions of the Charter have been violated. Therefore, the immediate focus of the General Assembly should be to seek peace and call for an immediate end to the war.
In the absence of constructive and decisive action by the Security Council, the General Assembly should then focus on efforts to stop the conflict and consider resolutions that contain concrete proposals towards that end. The General Assembly should create conditions conducive to dialogue, mediation, and diplomacy as the only path that will lead to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. This is a role that the General Assembly has played before and there is no reason it cannot do so now.
Furthermore, the Secretary-General should directly engage the parties to the conflict towards an immediate cessation of hostilities. This is a process that should contain clear deliverables and timelines.
The Secretary-General has already illustrated the constructive role that he can play by facilitating the agreement on the Black Sea Grain Initiative. As we have stated before, this important example could be the basis for an agreement leading to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Constructive actions, such as these are urgently required to ensure that we move towards peace.
Our proposed way forward is consistent with Article 1 of the Charter of the United Nations which states that the purpose of the UN is “to maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace”. This is what the international community should be endeavouring to do.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
Apart from a single meeting at his department to which the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO), Mr Louis Heyneman, was invited, (a) on what dates and (b) at which venues did the other formal meetings and/or consultations with the CPO take place as referred to by the CEO of the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra, Mr Bongani Tembe?
Reply:
It is incorrect to imply that Mr. Louis Heyneman was only invited to a single meeting with the Department for the purpose of the conceptualization of the National Orchestra. Prior to the board of Mzansi NPO being appointed by the Minister, the Department managed the process and was the custodian of the task team of experts. Our records indicate that several meetings were called by the office of the Director General between September 2018 and November 2019. This does not include the meetings that the task team held at the National Arts Council offices in Johannesburg. Mr. Heyneman was invited to the said meetings where, in certain instances he attended, while in some instances he forwarded formal apologies. Noteworthy is that in March 2019, Mr. Heyneman made a written submission titled ‘National Philharmonic Orchestra: A Working Document’. We have attached evidence as Annexure A on his insightful contribution. One of the strong and progressive ideas that he presented in this document related to the issue of audience development and he said, ‘If it is the intent that the NPO [National Philharmonic Orchestra – as it was called] must be the “orchestra by the people for the people”, audiences for this new national ensemble must be found and developed. Without enthusiastic support and “bums on seats” the noble idea of a national orchestra that reflects the demographics of South Africa, catering for the musical taste of the majority of the population, will die a premature death.’ These kinds of ideas, among others, informed the entire conceptualization of the National Orchestra, feeding into the outcomes of the report of the task team that was presented to my office.
While there was an expectation for all task team members to attend and participate in the scheduled activities or meetings, the reality is that members also had commitments outside the work of the task team. However, this should not be used to cast aspersions on the validity of the processes and imply that there was no consultation when due processes were followed. On the occasions when some could not attend, meetings continued with the other participants.

Thembekwayo, Dr S to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What methods of intervention have been taken in ensuring that provincial departments of education co-operate with the national office on issues of accountability?
Reply:
Financial Performance - The Department of Basic Education (DBE) conducts meetings with all nine (9) Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) in January/ February to assess the credibility of the PEDs’ budget allocations for the following financial year. The Annual Performance Plans (APPs), Estimated Provincial Revenue and Expenditure (EPRE) documents, In-Year Monitoring (IYM) and Annual Reports received from PEDs are key documents guiding the discussions.
During the financial year, the PEDs submit the monthly reports (Financial Reports) within 15 days after the end of the month. These reports are analysed to check the utilisation of funds against the available budget. The DBE conducts bilateral meetings with all PEDs in July/August to discuss the financial performance and the impact on the service delivery. The PEDs account on how the allocated funds were utilised in that specific financial year.
Compliance with National Norms and Standards for School Funding (NSSF) - The DBE conducts HEDCOM Sub-Committee on Finance Meetings on quarterly basis, where the PEDs are expected to provide information with regard to the compliance with NSSF. The DBE also engages in telephonic survey with samples of schools in each Province to verify the information provided by the PED, and check the implementation of the policy at school level. If the gaps are identified in the implementation, the relevant PED will be approached to discuss and to resolve those matters.

Tambo, Mr S to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
Whether the constant imposition of administrators at institutions of higher learning that are plagued by governance issues has assisted in the governance and operational functions of the affected institutions; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, in what areas of governance has the improvement occurred?
Reply:
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.

Ngcobo, Mr SL to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
Whether, in view of the projected retirement wave of teachers peaking in the next few years and the low retention of teachers currently, her department engaged with the Department of Employment and Labour on collaborative initiatives to counter this through the implementation of sustainable employment programmes outside of the Presidential Employment Stimulus to ensure a smooth transition between older and new teachers in schools and/or the education labour market; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
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.

Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
Whether he will furnish Inkosi R N Cebekhulu with the details of (a) the processes of the monthly tribunal that is held to deliberate on applications for identity documents that do not have the required documentation for the normal Home Affairs procedures and (b) the time frame in which persons can expect to receive feedback from the processes of the tribunal; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
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.

Hlengwa, Mr M to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
Whether, with reference to transactional agreements between individuals in exchange for marriages and identity documents which has caused a rise in identity theft and unknown illegal marriages that he alluded to, his department has taken any steps to also address the oversight and prevent the huge number of individuals who have also been recognised lawfully as married and have unknowingly had their identity stolen by others; if not, why not; if so, (a) what are the relevant details and (b) how has he found it to be possible that his department is failing to adequately provide identity documents to some while individuals find themselves married without their consent?
Reply:
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.
