University of Cape Town |
Has Ombuds office |
The reports of the Ombud to Council have ordinarily been high-level reports on trends without detail that would compromise the confidentiality undertakings of the Ombud’s office. The terms of reference explicitly provide that the Office of the Ombud ‘shall not investigate, arbitrate, adjudicate or in any other way participate in any internal or external formal process or action… The mandate is that the ‘Office of the Ombud provides a neutral, informal, confidential and independent environment where members of the university community may raise complaints or concerns and may seek information and guidance about any alleged acts, omissions, rules or other matters relating to the functioning of the University. 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. Council considered the matter on a confidential basis. |
The Ombud’s report of 2019 (for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019) was submitted. |

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. |

Langa, Mr TM to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
In light of the fire that broke out in Ward 25 Pantas in the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, what number of houses will her department build for the members of the community who have now been rendered homeless?
Reply:
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.

Groenewald, Mr IM to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
(1)Whether, with reference to her reply to question 1083 on 8 April 2022, any steps were taken by her department to ensure that the 203 municipalities that did not have any infrastructure maintenance plans in place, will develop and implement such plans as a matter of priority; if not, why not; if so, what steps; (2) what total number of the 18 municipalities that only partially implemented their infrastructure maintenance plans have now fully implemented their plans; (3) whether she will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
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.
3. No.

This however is mediated by a stringent process to identify, verify and quality assure the rejected learners and to ensure all learners are accurately accounted for in the Sector before finalising the annual statistics.

Ceza, Mr K to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
With reference to the Makana Local Municipality which is amongst the 64 municipalities that have been identified as dysfunctional in her department’s report to Cabinet and is said to have been deteriorating since the visit of the Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, with communities sighting the same issues of the lack of water and poor roads, what conclusive evidence and outcomes were drawn from the invocation of section 106 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, in the specified municipalities?
Reply:
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.

Spies, Ms ERJ to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
With reference to a presentation on the 2021-22 audit outcomes for the Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, wherein the Auditor-General made the finding that payments were made in the 2018-19 financial year under the Community Works Programme to non-qualifying government employees due to ineffective internal controls for approving and processing payments, what total amount was paid to the non-qualifying government employees; (2) whether any steps have been taken to recover the irregular payments; if not, why not; if so, what (a) total amount has been recovered and (b) disciplinary action has been taken against government employees who irregularly benefited from the CWP?
Reply:
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.

Spies, Ms ERJ to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
With reference to a presentation on the 2021-22 audit outcomes to the Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, wherein the AuditorGeneral made the finding that project management fees were paid under the Community Works Programme to implementing agents of the Contract Work Programme from April 2018 to March 2021, without evidence of goods and services having been received due to ineffective internal controls for approving and processing payments, what total amount was paid in irregular project management fees to the implementing agents; (2) whether any steps have been taken to recover the irregular payments; if not, why not; if so, what total amount has been recovered; if so, what total amount has been recovered; (3) whether any of the implementing agents were blacklisted from doing business with her department; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The balance of overpaid project management fees to two Non-Profit Oganisations (NPOs) was R1 820 519,18 as at 31 March 2022.
2. The amount has been offset against retained project management fees due to the NPOs, leaving a balance of R287 305,79 due by one (1) NPO to the Department. This NPO is no longer in business and the Department’s attorneys are currently tracing the former Directors of the NPO in order to commence litigation.
3. The Department has engaged the National Treasury through the Chief Procurement Officer on a number of Community Works Programme (CWP) related matters, including the possible blacklisting of NPOs found to be in breach of their Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The discussions with the National Treasury are ongoing.

With reference to a presentation on the 2021-22 audit outcomes to the Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, wherein the Auditor-General made the finding that payments were made in advance to implementing agents under the Community Works Programme, without evidence of goods and services having been received due to ineffective internal controls for approving and processing payments, what total amount was paid in irregular advance fees to the implementing agents; (2) whether any steps have been taken to recover the irregular payments; if not, why not; if so, what total amount has been recovered; (3) whether any of the implementing agents have been blacklisted from doing business with her department; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. As at 31 March 2022 the balance of uncleared advances made to eight (8) Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) was R26 252 990,01.
2. R20 822 071,84 of the total amount of R26 252 990,01 has been offset against retained project management fees due by the Department to NPOs, leaving a balance of R5 430 918,17 due by three NPOs to the Department. The Department is currently litigating against two NPOs to recover R4 498 778,40 and is still in discussions with one NPO to refund R932 139,76.

Joseph, Mr D to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional AffairsQUESTION
Whether she has found that the latest annual report of the Auditor-General which reflects on poor service delivery performance of the majority of municipalities is a sign of a failed State; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details. (2) What plans will her departments introduce to improve the constitutional mandate of local government. (3) Whether the specified plans will include consequence management, if not, why not, if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. No.
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.

Zondo, Mr S S to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
Whether, with reference to the recommendations made to the University of Stellenbosch in the Khampepe Report into allegations of racism at the specified university, his department has any plans in place to convert some of the specified recommendations into best practice guidelines for all universities; if not, why not; if so, how will the first-year welcoming programmes at universities be tailored to incorporate the considerations included in the specified report?
Reply:
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. Universities will develop new UCDP plans to be implemented from 2024, the guidelines for the implementation of the UCDP (that come in the form of the Ministerial Statement on the Implementation of the University Capacity Development Programme) will endeavour to emphasise the guidelines.

Brink, Mr C to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs

Reply:
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.

Zondo, Mr S S to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
What are the details of how his department has supported matriculants to obtain their identity documents to ensure that they can write their examinations?
Reply:
The Departments of Home Affairs and Basic Education entered into a Memorandum of understanding in 2010 regarding the mutual cooperation, support and sharing of information. This agreement assisted in facilitating access and visits to schools. Each and every year, the Department of Basic education provides list of learners without Identity documents to Home Affairs and the list is shared with the provinces.
Upon the receipt of the above list, provinces prepare schedules to visit schools using Mobile units, where learners who are 16 years and above including matriculants are assisted in applying and in obtaining their Identity documents as a result.

Buthelezi, Mr EM to ask the Minister of Finance
What total amount has the National Treasury been able to recuperate from the pension funds of persons accused of defrauding the State since the beginning of the year?
Reply:
The National Treasury has not recovered any funds from any person accused of defrauding the State since the beginning of this financial year commencing 1 April 2022, nor the previous financial year.
In terms of the Government Employees Pension Law, 1996, Government is able to recover or deduct from the pension benefit of an employee any amount of loss which has been sustained by the employer through theft, fraud or any misconduct on the part of the member, pensioner or beneficiary and which has been admitted by such person in writing or has been proved in a court of law.
I have been informed by the Government Pension Administration Agency (GPAA) that neither they nor the GEPF have been furnished with any court order since the beginning of the current financial year commencing 1 April 2022 requiring them to recover or deduct funds from the pension benefit of any person accused of defrauding the State.

Chabangu, Mr M to ask the Minister of Employment and Labour
(a) What (i) steps of intervention has he taken recently to curb the rising youth unemployment rate and (ii) strategy is in place in this regard and (b) on what date is it envisaged that the numbers will begin to decrease?
Reply:
A 1. What steps of intervention has he taken recently to curb the rising youth unemployment rate?
The Department provides employment services through its 126 labour centres and 475 visiting points that are spread across the country and are located in both urban, townships and rural areas. We also have projects that we fund through the Unemployment Insurance Fund Labour Activation Program and the Compensation Fund Rehabilitation Labour Activation Program. We are also involved in partnership interventions with the Presidency, under the Presidential Youth Employment Stimulus Initiative, where in we have been assigned to coordinate these initiatives through a National Pathway Management working closely with GTAC.
During the period April 2022- September 2022, the Department registered more than 570,000 new work seekers on its ESSA database of which 364,110 were youth, Female= 215 427 and male= 148 683
More than 92000 work opportunities were registered by employers with the Department. More than 44000 work seekers were placed into employment opportunities. 30,472 were youth and Female= 17,292 and male=13,180.
A further 174403 work seekers were provided with life skills interventions and employment counselling interventions to help them transition to the labour market. 131,568 were youth and Female= 83,105 and male= 48,463.
A 2. What strategy is in place in this regard?
The Department through its entities also provides assistance to support employment and also job preservation, these includes:
- (Transfer funding to Supported Employment Enterprises to provide special employment to People with Disabilities
- Transfer funding to Designated National Organizations and Workshops for People with Disabilities), a total 1041 workers are being subsidised of which, 489 are youth.
- Transfer funding to Productivity South Africa to promote Productivity and Competitiveness
- Transfer funding to Compensation Fund for Occupational Injuries and Diseases incurred by Public Servants
- Transfer funding to CCMA for job retention and job preservation activities.
- There is also the Labour Activation Programs that is provided by the UIF and the Compensation Fund.
- The Department is also developing a National Employment Policy that will be available soon for public comment that is anchored on 9 pillars.
- The Department is also making it easier for youth to gain access to entry level employment by preventing displacement, by foreign workers, through the finalisation of a Labour migration policy and related amendments to the Employment Services Act, 2014.
b. On what date is it envisaged that the numbers will begin to decrease?
It is difficult to predict exactly when the numbers of unemployment will begin to decrease as this is dependent on a number of factors, the most important of which, is economic growth. The latest quarterly labour force survey from Statistics South Africa indicates that there were about 269,000 less people unemployed in Q3:2022 than in Q2:2022. South Africa’s unemployment rate decreased by 1,0 percentage point to 32,9% in Q3:2022 compared to Q2:2022. Expanded unemployment rate decreased by 1,0 percentage point to 43,1% in Q3:2022 compared to Q2:2022.

van der Merwe, Ms LL to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
Whether, in view of a recent presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs that indicates that the Republic is home to 15 million undocumented persons, he has found that the numbers point to (a) a complete failure by his department to implement its own immigration laws and (b) a safety and security threat to the nation; if not, why not in each case; if so, what steps will be taken to remedy the perceived illegal migration crisis in the Republic?
Reply:
a) Honourable member, firstly I want to iterate that the department does not believe that figure is accurate as we have not been provided scientific evidence that it is so. The most credible source the department is aware of is the figures given by the Statistician General Risenga Maluleke where a figure of 3.95 million foreign nationals are said to be in South Africa according to their mid-year population estimates in 2021.
Secondly, the Department is not failing to implement its own immigration laws as indicated in its annual reports, through various programmes, including the law enforcement operations in the security cluster to detect unlawful immigrants, prosecute and deport them or issue orders to leave.
To prevent re-offending, their details are captured on the Visa Entry and Stop List and the entry as well as departure of all travellers are recorded on the Movement Control System. This is one of the tools that Port Control utilises to prevent undesirable or prohibited persons from entering into the country.
The review of the systems of managing the issuing and extension of temporary residence visas and conferring of permanent residence permits is underway to improve the effectiveness of the policy, infrastructure and implementation.
b) The porousness of the country’s borders is well-documented, hence the establishment of the Border Management Authority to respond and manage the borderline under one strategic and implementation structure. The performance in the target areas will be reviewable within the 2023/24 financial year, with effect from 1 April 2023.
The department will continue with its enforcement activities within the country as well as the deployment of the newly formed Border Guard of the Border Management Authority.

(1)With regard to the entry of non-citizens into the Republic at ports of entry, what measures are in place to prevent non-citizens from exceeding the (a) period of their visa-free stay and/or (b) duration of their stay as per their visa allowance; (2) whether this is tracked and/or monitored; if not, why not; if so, (a) how in each case and (b) what total number of non-citizens overstay their (i) allowed visa-free stay and/or (ii) visa-allowed stay in the Republic in each of the past five years?
Reply:
1. With regards to the entry of non-citizens into the Republic at ports of entry, both categories of travellers (visa exempt and visa required) are provided with a specified period of stay when they comply with admission requirements as stated in the Immigration Act.
The preventative measures include applying a risk based approach with visa adjudication if the person is from a visa required country. At the port of entry, the immigration officer will conduct an examination and if required, a secondary immigration inspection will be conducted before endorsing the passport and recording the movement on the system.
Additional measures to ensure non-citizens do not exceed the period of their visa entry includes compliance inspections and immigration stop and search operations that can detect such persons.
(2)(a) It would be difficult to track and/or monitor every person that enters the Republic. It is the responsibility of the traveller to respect and adhere to the laws of the country.
In terms of the Immigration Act, a person must comply with the permitted period of stay and depart on or before the expiry date of their visa, failing which he/she will be declared undesirable upon departure or become an illegal foreigner liable for deportation.
This is also tracked and monitored through immigration inspections and immigration led operations as well as by monitoring the departmental systems.

Madokwe, Ms P to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Following reports between July 2021 and June 2022 that there were 1 188 children murdered in the Republic, and that some of the perpetrators are either out on parole or on bail, what measures have been put in place to ensure (a) the safety of communities and children from offenders released back into society by the justice system and (b) magistrates and judges do not give rapists and murderers a slap in the wrist for the heinous crimes they have committed?
Reply:
a) The following are measures put in place to ensure safety of communities when offender is on parole:
- Monitoring and supervision of probationers, parolees and awaiting trial persons under the system of Community Corrections is a human capital-intensive activity.
- All offenders placed under the system of community corrections are subjected to the Admission Risk Reclassification tool to determine the level of supervision unless stated otherwise by Court/ Correctional Supervision and Parole Board (CSPB).
- Risk profile assessment conducted to determine the risks, assessed when the static and dynamic factors have changed that necessitate re-assessment. When the offender committed a serious offence, the tool identifies a whole range of static and dynamic factors for which a score is allocated individually and the score determine some factors that might requires intervention and referrals. Final score within a pre-determined range will then result in the probationer or parolee being classified as a high, medium or low risk.
- The day to day monitoring is enhanced through allocation of resources for physical monitoring, office consultation, telephone monitoring where applicable, community service and programme attendance, (2021/2022 sufficient vehicles 518) were allocated and distributed to all community corrections offices within the regions to ensure successful monitoring in all areas).
- The monitoring category for every offender under the system of Community Corrections is determined by the predicted risk of offenders from High (minimum 8 contacts), Medium (minimum 4 contacts) and Low Risk (minimum 2 contacts).
- Review by Supervision Committee: parolees attend sitting either every six months/ frequently depending on their length of their sentence to review their status, behaviour, reclassify or referred for intervention.
- When the offender violates any set condition, s/he is summoned to the office to provide reasons for non-compliance (the non-compliance is investigated).If reasons are of serious nature and not acceptable a verbal or written warning, referrals for Social work intervention /programmes are made.
- Partnership with relevant stakeholders and the establishment of 219 offices (rented and in state owned facilities, 57 satellite offices and Service Points for easy access of services contribute positively to the compliance with conditions, ensure visibility and strengthen the system of monitoring.
In ensuring successful reintegration and compliance to set conditions of parole and correctional supervision the following measures are emphasised:
- Integrated approach at District level and national department - Continuous consultations with traditional leaders, counsellors and relevant department to ensure that they assist the department during reintegration process to accelerate and augment monitoring through special monitoring were various stakeholders are invited during this exercise.
- Community engagement and awareness through Imbizo’s to orientate the community about the conditions of community corrections, encourage them to support the offenders during their releases, acceptance within their community.
It should be emphasised that irrespective of strict measures by the department to monitor the offenders and ensure compliance of conditions, some of the offender’s relapse into criminal behaviours due to change of circumstances after been released, rejection and stigma by their family and the community, lack of support system, unemployment and other social ills. Reintegration of offenders is a societal responsibility and the department cannot deal with the huge challenges without the involvement of other stake holders including other government department.

With reference to her reply to question 3609 on 25 October 2022, wherein she indicated that during the 2013 to 2021 period, a total number of 33 113 bursary recipients who were eligible for placement graduated, whom were placed after graduation and a total number of 135 309 received bursaries during the specified time, of which only 33 113 graduated were placed, what (a) total number of the original 135 509 (i) changed streams and/or (ii) dropped out and (b) is the reason for the discrepancy of students that registered versus the 33 113 who graduated and/or were placed?
Reply:
(a) 135 509 refers to the number of bursaries awarded between 2013 and 2021, not the number of recipients, as the number of recipients was 43 014. Bachelors of Education degree (B Ed) is a four-year degree; and therefore, one person will receive a minimum of four bursaries in the four years of study at universities - meaning that 43 014 recipients received +/- 135 509 bursaries in their four years of study. The indicator on Funza Lushaka is a cumulative target / indicator, and it is expected that the Department of Basic Education reports on the number of bursaries awarded each year, i.e., the "Number of Funza Lushaka bursaries awarded to students enrolled for Initial Teacher Education per year”
(i) changed streams and/or (ii) dropped out and (b) is the reason for the discrepancy of students that registered versus the 33 113 who graduated and/or were placed?
Reply:
(i) (ii)
The DBE does not have the details of the students who changed streams; as well as those who dropped-out. such information may be requested from universities via Department of Higher Education and Training.
(b)
There are no discrepancies, the difference is between 43 014 and 33 113. 33 113 reflects returning bursars (students), i.e., bursars that are currently studying at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

Considering assertions made by the Chief Executive Office of Eskom that some of the companies contracted to supply coal were found to be involved in dubious and questionable conduct, including stealing coal and selling substandard coal to Eskom, what (a) total number of companies have been found to be at fault and (b) are the details of the action that he and/or his department has taken against them?
Reply:
According to Information Received from Eskom:
a) A conviction was obtained for coal procurement fraud against Meagra Transport CC and an Eskom employee, for coal procurement transactions. The company was contracted to transport coal for Eskom and generated fake invoices for which they were paid for coal that was never delivered. The conviction followed a fraud case where Eskom suffered a loss of approximately R35 000 000.00.
There are currently seven (7) transport companies that are under investigation by the Hawks for coal procurement fraud and theft against Eskom.
b) There are several matters pending before the South African Police Services (Hawks), Special Investigating Unit (SIU), National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU) involving coal transport contractors and coal supply agreements. Civil and criminal litigation are being pursued against the various offenders.
The former Director of Meagra Transport, Victor Tshabalala and the former Eskom employee were found guilty in the Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crimes Court (Case no. SCCC232/2019) for fraud against Eskom and sentenced on 29 March 2022, to an effective twenty (20) years imprisonment respectively. Meagra Transport (Pty) Ltd was also subjected to an internal supplier review process (disciplinary) and the outcome led to the supplier being deregistered and restricted from doing business with Eskom and other state entities for a period of five (5) years, with effect from 1 September 2020. A preservation and forfeiture of property order was also granted by the Gauteng High Court on 9 November 2021 against the properties owned by both Victor Tshabalala, as well as the former Eskom employee, Bernard Moraka.
Eskom has recently contracted the services of a dedicated specialised investigative capability to focus on coal procurement fraud and theft investigations. In the recent months several criminal cases for coal theft and fraud have been opened by Eskom and are with the South African Police Services (SAPS) for investigation. The most recent incidents under investigation involved the theft of coal and fraud at Kendal and Camden power stations, respectively where three contractors to Eskom were arrested and are facing criminal charges.
Eskom reports all allegations of coal procurement fraud and theft to the SAPS for criminal investigations. The SAPS currently refers all cases of Eskom coal procurement fraud and theft to a dedicated team within the Directorate of Priority Crimes Investigations (DPCI), commonly known as the Hawks, for further investigation and prosecution.

Whether the claims made by the Khoisan Groups, that Knoflokskraal Grabouw in the Western Cape historically belonged to their forefathers, have been verified through research by her department; if not, what consultations are taking place between her department and other spheres of Government for a solution apart from the legal process; if so, what are the findings in this regard?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
I have been informed that the Department did not receive any claims from the Khoisan Group.
The Steer-Com has since been established, comprising officials from the following Stakeholders, including legal representation.
- National Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (NDPWI)

- South African Police Services (SAPS)
The purpose of the Steer-Com is to:
- Establish Communication with the community leaders to discuss their reasons for the invasion and what their requirements are
- Coordinate a survey and profiling of occupants
- Determine control measures to prevent further invasion
- Develop and drive a comprehensive implementation plan and report progress and make recommendations to the Joint District and Metropolitan Approach Committee (JDMA)
- Develop interventions and remedial action.
The introductory meeting was held on 3 October 2022, a follow up meeting was held on 3 November 2022 and the third meeting was held on 16 November 2022 between the Steer-Com and the Community leaders.
During the meeting, it was agreed that the Community leaders will submit a proposal regarding their needs / requirements in order to determine a way forward.
Following the meeting on 16 November 2022, another meeting took place on 25 November 2022 between the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Portfolio Committee, affected spheres of Government and the Community leaders in which the Community repeated that they are reclaiming their forefather’s land and confirmed that they will submit their proposal including the supporting documents relating to their claim.

(1)Whether her department has conducted an audit of all government buildings where public restrooms are defective and/or not in use due to a lack of appropriate maintenance; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the (a) time frame for the required maintenance that needs to be carried out and (b) associated costs; (2) whether her department has put mechanisms and/or procedures in place to ensure that parts required for the maintenance will be sourced from local businesses and manufacturers; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
I have been informed that the maintenance of public restrooms falls under non-specialised maintenance work. This forms part of the delegation assigned to the Users. There is a R1 million delegation for maintenance assigned to the client to carry out corrective maintenance as per the Day-to-Day guidelines.
