Mrs. D van der Walt (DA) to ask Minister of Arts and Culture

1. Whether her department, with reference to San bone collections at various museums and university, has a national policy in terms of which museums deal with human remains; if not; who not, if so, what are relevant details.

2. Whether she will take steps to ensure that such remains are returned to the relevant descendants if not, why not, if so (a) when and (b) what are further

REPLY:

In 2005, the department embarked on an inventory of human remains at its cultural institutions and universities. The aim of the exercise was to establish the number of human remains that were obtained under questionable circumstances. The research found that most universities that have human remains indicated that they have strict policies on the acquisition and disposal of human remains; they also stated that they obtained them for scientific reasons. In the main, these are faculties of medicine at universities. Collectively, over 1659 human remains reside at museums and institutions of higher learning. It should also be borne in mind that whilst the Khoi and San could constitute a significant percentage of overall remains other indigenous groups are part of these collections. On the basis of the inventory, the department is in the process of developing a policy / strategy on the disposal of these remains.

The proposed policy framework/ strategy will assist in resolving complex questions and issues that might arise concerning the acquisition and disposal of human remains. This is necessitated by a number of reasons, namely that some of these remains might not be claimed because of the time lag between acquisition and now. There will also be instance where there are no living relatives/ descendants that could be linked to them.

NW 86E

REPLY:

Background

In 2008 the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) established a Facilities Management Directorate to oversee the management and maintenance of all the buildings / sites that are occupied by DAC. The director had to do verification of all the buildings / sites that are used or held by DAC as there was no proper immovable asset register and the Department of Public Works (DPW), as the custodians of state buildings could not provide one.

One of the findings was that no official from the Public Entities and DPW could confirm whether the buildings / sites are compliant in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. (OHSA).

The Key Account Manager DPW only confirmed that condition assessment which included OHSA of all government buildings has been a priority project for a long time but was never implemented due to funding constraints.

(a) (i) No offices of DAC have certificates.

(a)(ii) No sites of DAC have the certificate to confirm the compliance to OHSA.

(bb) Currently it cannot be confirmed which facilities fail to adhere to the Act

(cc) n/a

(dd) n/a

DATE OF PUBLICATION 05 MARCH 2010 INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER 04 OF 2010

"Mr K A Sinclair (COPE) to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture:

6778

(1) Whether any audit was undertaken to ascertain whether the provincial heritage resource agencies and the SA heritage Resource Agency are working in a synchronised manner by having clearly defined areas of jurisdiction to enable developers to obtain speedy responses to their applications for development permission, if not why not, if so what are the relevant details?

(2) Whether a list of sites under the provincial and national jurisdiction has been published, if not, why not, if so when?

(3) Whether the response time for each application for each development is published annually in a report; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?

(4) Whether any mechanisms are in place to deal with unwarranted delays; if not, why not; if so, what mechanisms? CW109E

REPLY:

1. No, a specific audit to ascertain whether SAHRA and PHRA's are working together to enable developers to obtain speedy responses to their applications for developments has not be been conducted. However, the PHRA's apply to SAHRA for assessment of their competence to perform functions that they are required to perform in terms of Section 34(1) of the National Heritage Resources Act (NHRA), which gives the PHRA's mandate to award permits on the built-environment requests and section 38 (2) (a) of the NHRA which focuses on the Heritage Impact Assessment of sites. The PHRA's are assessed every two years as and when they request to be assessed in between the two years to evaluate their competency. In the event that they are not competent, SAHRA will establish an agency agreement and perform such functions on an Agency basis. In other words there is synchronisation on the work of SHARA and PHRA's. Areas of jurisdiction are set out in Section 7(1) (a, b, c). PHRAs are body corporates appointed by the MEC's and in terms of Section 24(1) (g) their function is to 'establish policy, objectives and strategic plans for heritage resources management in the province.' The function of SAHRA is to prescribe principles, standards and norms. Stipulating response time-frames to PHRAs is outside SAHRA's jurisdiction.

2. The provincially declared sites are published in the Provincial Government Gazette as and when the sites are declared and are available from any Provincial Legislature. The national heritage sites are declared by SAHRA and are published in the National Government Gazette as and when the sites are declared. They are available from the SAHRA website.

3. Yes, PHRA's annual reports entail summarised versions of all applications including the response time in any given province that manages any section of the Act and are available on request at the PHRA's offices alternatively at the SAHRA offices. In terms of permits approved and not approved, there is statistical analysis which includes the response time that is provided on monthly and quarterly basis by the respective PHRA's. The information is used to update the database and for planning purposes for local authorities.

4. SAHRA as a national body is creating mechanisms and systems to address the backlogs and delays in permit applications. Firstly SAHRA is creating a National Heritage and Education Training Centre in order to provide competency and expertise for PHRA's and local authorities. Secondly, SAHRA works with PHRA's on an Agency basis where PHRA's are found to lack the necessary capacity and competency in order to reduce unwarranted delays

NW89E

REPLY:

The Minister of Transport:

(1) Following the announcement that South Africa won the bid to host the 2010 FIFA™ World Cup Event, the Department of Transport (DOT) subsequently embarked on a process to facilitate the procurement of buses and coaches required for the 2010 FIFA™ World Cup.

During May 2008, the DOT issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to the market for the supply of buses and coaches for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Event. The RFP required respondents to submit responses in two parts – technical and financial. The Technical Responses were evaluated first to determine the compliance to the technical aspects and only after completion of this exercise were the financial proposals considered.

On 4 December 2008, the DOT issued a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) document to short-listed parties. Proposals in response to the BAFO document were received from all short-listed bidders. An evaluation team convened to discuss the contents of the proposals and clarification meetings were held with each of the bidders. Subsequently a pro forma scoring was conducted to enable the ranking for each bidder against each of the required vehicle types. Following this scoring process an Inter-Departmental Evaluation Committee was established to consider and approve the recommendations of the evaluation panels. The Inter-Departmental Evaluation Committee was chaired by the Director-General: Transport and consisted of the Directors-General of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) and Deputy Director- General: National Treasury as well as Department officials.

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) has been identified as the 2010 FIFA World Cup Inter-City Transport Delivery Agent. The DOT signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PRASA for this purpose, handing over the relevant delegations, the procurement process which it had initiated for this purpose. The Board of PRASA has approved the bidder's preferred bidder status and the process undertaken to date by the DOT. Consequently, the DOT has handed over this procurement process to PRASA.

As such, Autopax (Pty) Limited, a subsidiary company of PRASA, will operate these buses during 2010 and will also be responsible for negotiating the final contract terms, as well as the ordering and payment of the buses and/ coaches.

On 22 April 2009, the Minister of Finance approved a Government Guarantee to the amount of R1.4 billion to PRASA for Autopax to purchase the necessary fleet for 2010. A transparent bidding process for funding has commenced with the issuing of a Request for Proposal by Autopax. Both the DOT and National Treasury remain closely involved in this process and will monitor the progress up to the conclusion thereof.

QUESTION NO 92

DATE REPLY SUBMITTED: 19 FEBRUARY 2010

DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: THURSDAY, 11 FEBRUARY 2010 (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 1 – 2010)

Mr I M Ollis (DA) asked the Minister of Transport:

(1) Whether (a) he, (b) his deputy minister, (c) any specified officials and (d) any other persons have been issued with a government or official credit card; if so, what are the relevant details for him, his deputy minister and each holder of a credit card in respect of the (i) name, (ii) job title, (iii) credit limit, (iv) outstanding amount as at the latest specified date for which information is available, (v) monthly expenses incurred for each month since receiving the credit card, (vi) reason for such persons being issued with a credit card and (vii) uses that such a credit card is intended for;

(2) whether any such credit cards are over their credit limit; if so, (a) whose credit cards are over the limit and (b) what is the reason for the credit cards exceeding the limit;

(3) whether any action has been taken against such persons for exceeding their credit card limits; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

NW97E

REPLY:

The Minister of Transport:

(1) (a), (b), (c) and (d)

In response to the Honourable Member's Question on credit cards, I wish to reply as follows:-

Cabinet decided on 04 November 2008 to withdraw credit cards issued to Political Office Bearers (POBs), Directors-General and other affected officials at National, Provincial and Local levels of Government.

They were replaced by corporate credit cards. Where necessary, a corporate card may be obtained in the name of the individual only with the express authorisation of the Director-General or relevant Accounting Officer.

No official may exceed the credit limit and there have been none experienced by the Department of Transport.

The guidelines to all Departments include the following:-

Ø A Department may implement a corporate credit card scheme with a registered financial institution in terms of the Banks Acts and be appointed through normal tender procedures, provided that the scheme is limited in scope to official transport, accommodation and subsistence.

Ø Only POBs and Directors-General may apply for a corporate credit card.

Ø The Department must fund servicing costs of the cards as far as these costs relate to the official purchases only (including lost card protection fee). The Department of Transport shall not be liable for any interest charges on the corporate credit card. It is incumbent upon any person utilising the corporate credit card scheme to ensure that all claims are submitted timeously to avoid interest being levied on official transactions paid for by utilising the said card. No corporate credit cards have been issued to the Minister of Transport, the Deputy Minister of Transport, or any official(s) and/or any other person(s) in the Department of Transport.

(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) Fall way.

Lists of uncollected identity documents, per Province, per office, for the period 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010, are attached herewith, as Annexures A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H to I.

(1)(b) The main reasons for applicants not collecting their new identity documents are, as follows:

· Applicants are applying for identity documents when under the impression that they have lost their identity documents, only to find it at a later stage. Many applicants, therefore, never collect their newly issued identity documents. The identity document with the latest date of issue is the only valid identity document, which replaces all previous identity documents issued.

· Applicants also re-locate, and never collect their newly issued identity documents, at the office of application.

(2)(a) The following steps have been taken:

· Since the implementation of the ID Track and Trace system in 2007, short messages ("sms") are automatically triggered to the cell phones of applicants to inform them of the arrival of their identity documents, at the office of application. Two subsequent SMS's are sent to applicants (one after 60 days, and the other after 110 days), as reminders before returning the identity documents to Head Office, as uncollected.

· It should be noted that the turnaround time for the issuing of identity documents has been drastically reduced, and applicants, who are not in possession of cell phones may enquire at the department's Client Service Centre (toll free number 0800 60 11 90), after a month from the date of application. Clients can, also, use the enquiry SMS no (32551) to check, and get feedback on the status of their ID applications.

(2)(b) The Department, also, interacts with various community forums, and other stakeholders to encourage applicants to collect their identity documents. The department, also, engages with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), through the Provincial Liaison Committees to encourage Political Office Bearers to request communities to collect their identity documents.

Mr G R Krumbock, DA MP, asked the Minister of Transport:

(1) With reference to his reply to Question 986 on 15 October 2009, (a) how and (b) why was the 30% under capacity of air traffic controllers allowed to develop;

(2) whether any steps have been taken to prevent such under capacity from occurring again; if not, why not; if so, what steps;

(3) (a) what economic consequences are incurred regarding the cancelled and/or delayed flights in terms of productive man hours that are lost to the economy and (b) what are the total productive man hours lost in each of the past five years? NW102E

REPLY:

The Minister of Transport:

(1) (a) and (b)

The 30% under capacity of Air Traffic Controllers is mostly caused by the resignation of Air Traffic Controllers who pursue their careers mainly in Middle Eastern countries that pay lucrative US Dollar-based remuneration packages that are very attractive as compared to packages offered by the Air Traffic and Navigation Services Company (ATNS). Air Traffic Controllers employed by ATNS hold international licenses that are recognized worldwide. As a regulated entity, ATNS has limited ability to compete with international Air Navigation Service Providers in terms of remuneration, particularly within the Middle East, as it is funded through the user-pay principle. ATNS has submitted an application to the Regulating Committee for Permission to levy air traffic service charges for the period 2010/11 to 2014/15 in terms of the Air Traffic and Navigation Services Company Act of 1993. In this application, provision has amongst others, been made for market related salary increases in order to attract and retain the required skills of Air Traffic Controllers (ATC). In determining ATNS' Permission to levy air traffic service charges, the relevant legislation requires that the Regulating Committee balances the need of ATNS against that of the Company's stakeholders and the flying public and at the same time, to ensure that facilities and services are priced at an economically justifiable level. This process is currently underway and it is envisaged that details regarding the Permission to levy air traffic service charges for the period 2010/11 to 2014/15 will be available by April 2010.

(2) ATNS' current training programs, together with external recruitment initiatives, will deliver about 66 Air Traffic Controllers, which will reduce the level of under capacity to about 5% during the 2010 FIFA World Cup Event. In addition to the information provided in reply to Question 986 of 15 October 2009, further steps that ATNS has undertaken to address the under capacity of Air Traffic Controllers include, amongst others:

a. Implementation of the Retention Scheme effective from 01 April 2007 for Air Traffic Controller Officers Level 3 (ATCO3) with five or more years experience.

b. Increased the intakes on the internal training program of Air Traffic Services (ATS) bursars from 20 to 100 per annum. The current figure for ATS bursars stand at 119.

c. Review of the assessment tools to streamline the selection process so as to align ATNS policies and procedures to best international standards and practices.

d. Enhancement of the training methodology, e.g., introduction of three levels on the Aerodrome Course, exposure implementation of simulated operational validation training.

e. Recruitment of qualified Air Traffic Controller Officers (ATCOs) from other countries. Year to date there are seventeen (17) ATCOs recruited externally.

(3) (a) The ATC shortages as experienced in South Africa does not translate into tangible delays for air traffic as the delays are incurred on the ground, prior to start-up. The South African slot allocation system absorbs possible delays on a tactical basis as operators have the option to change different flights within the ambit of the slots held by such an operator. Both the current average delay per flight and the average delay per delayed flights are within ATNS targets, as well as lower than delays incurred by operators due to own inherent airline associated reasons (e.g. lost baggage, catering, passenger punctuality).

(b) As per the explanation in (a) above there are no productive man hours lost.

Whether she or her department is interacting with relevant stakeholders and department to restore popular tourist sites such as the Nelson Mandela capture site in KwaZulu-Natal, the Heroes' Acre, the Air Force Monument and the historical forts in Gauteng; if not, why not; if so (a) is the nature of such interaction and (b) are the further relevant details?

NW103E

REPLY:

(a) The Department of Arts and Culture through its implementing agency, the South African Heritage Resources Agency has identified the Nelson Mandela Capture sites as a potential grade 1 site which will be part of a serial nomination for the declaration of sites associated with Nelson Mandela. The Heroes' Acre in Gauteng is not a national heritage site and therefore is managed by the local authority. South African Heritage Resources Agency also works with the South African Air Force Museum regarding the management and the conservation of the South African Airforce collection especially the ten harvards which were declared as cultural treasures in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act, no 25 of 1999.
