(1) A total number of 190 reported accidents occurred during 2008. From these, a total of 94 fatalities resulted from 33 accidents. These accident and fatality statistics include sporting activities, such as skydiving, paragliding and the like.
No Final Report into any of the 2008 fatal accidents have been finalised as yet.
Accident reports are produced in terms of a defined procedure, i.e. an onsite investigation (if necessary); documentation of information; production of a report; iew of the report by an Advisory Safety Panel (ASP); submission to the Commissioner for Civil Aviation (CCA); and subsequent release to interested parties and the public.
(a)
Two fatal accident reports have been reviewed during the January 2009 Safety Advisory Panel meeting and will be submitted to the CCA by end February 2009. A further four and five reports, respectively, will be submitted to the ASP during the March and April meetings. The remainder of the fatal and other accident reports are scheduled to be completed and submitted to the CCA by end 2009.
(b)
Preliminary review of the 2008 accidents identify human factors as the primary cause of the accidents and these can be categorised as mainly poor decision making, error of judgement and lack of skill and experience. Mechanical defects and maintenance are involved as a minority causal factor.
(2) (a) No.
(b) Reports will be available on request.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL AND THE MINISTER
The worst months in respect of fatal accidents were September and October 2008. 30 people lost their lives in September.

The involvement of medical related issues cannot be excluded as a possible cause in any fatal accident. Hence the need for the investigator to review the relevant post mortem and toxological report of the autopsy.
A fatality in an aircraft accident is classified as an unnatural death which requires an autopsy to be conducted by a pathologist of the Department of Health. The results of the autopsy are formally made available to the investigator through the South African Police Services office dealing with the unnatural death investigation. Lack of a speedy process in the provision of the autopsy is the major cause of the delay of the completion of the Final Report.
With the 190 accidents in 2008, in addition to approximately 200 reports which are still not completed, there is a serious challenge to the SACAA to overcome. This backlog dates back to the year 2000.
The SACAA Accident and Incident Investigation Division (AIID) is committed and is actively pursuing all efforts to eliminate this backlog as soon as practical possible.
This includes the employment of an additional five (5) investigators during 2008 and good progress is being made in the process of completing the outstanding reports.

Mrs C Dudley (ACDP) to ask the Minister of Women, Children and People with Disabilities:
(1) Whether any plans are in place to provide support to orphans by allowing them to continue living with their siblings in their parental homes; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
(2) Whether there are any projects (details furnished) for employing unemployed women to provide support to such orphans; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NO1301E
REPLY:
Honourable Member,
(1) Yes, we do have plans in place. South Africa has acceded to and signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and other related conventions and protocols. The aim is to provide care and protection to all children including orphans and vulnerable children, guided by the international and national legal framework. The national guiding tools to protect and care for children include the SA Constitution (108:1996), Child Care Act (74:1983) as amended, White Paper for Social Welfare (1997) and Children's Act (38:2005) as amended. The Children's Act number 38 of 2005 (as amended), Section 137 proposes new child protection measures for child-headed households. This section defines the children who can be regarded as child-headed households, makes provision for appointing an adult for supervising a child-headed household, and allows the children in child-headed households to access social grants and other material assistance.
Statutory services and community based care services are rendered to enable orphans to continue living with their siblings in their parental homes.
Statutory services rendered to child-headed households are as follows:
▪ Therapeutic counseling
The aim of therapeutic counseling to help family members deal with personal problems, difficulties and traumas.
▪ Adult supervision
In relation to adult supervision an adult in the nearby surrounding is identified to provide the child-headed household with parentalcare and guidance regularly. The adult supervisor stays at her or his respective home, but keeps constant supervision to the family. This is an out of court arrangement, but the social worker is expected to provide the overall supervision.
▪ Poor relief and other material assistance
Food parcels and other forms of assistance are provided to child-headed households, as a temporary intervention whilst the social worker is planning for a permanent intervention.
▪ Social grants
Children are assisted to apply for social grants they are entitled to, for example Child Support Grant, and Foster Care Grant.
Community based care services are rendered in drop in centers or home community based care centers. The services are as follows:
§ Provision of cooked meals and food parcels;
§ Assistance with home work, for those children that are attending school;
§ Recreation in a form of various activities;
§ Capacity building on parenting and life skills;
§ Linking the children with other services that might improve their individual situation, for instance the Department of Health, Education, Human Settlement; Justice and Constitutional Development;
§ Psycho-social; care and support;
§ Income generating programmes;
§ Provision of Early Childhood Development services.
There are certain programmes such as the Isibindi Model that is used by the National Association of Child and Youth Care Workers and the Iso Labantwana: the Eye on the Child as applied by Child Welfare which have special protective measures for vulnerable children at family and community level. The provincial Department of Social Development supports and funds these projects.
(2) No, the Department of Social Development does not have specific projects for employing unemployed women. However, the National Department of Social Development and Health have taken a joint responsibility for implementing Home Community Based Care (HCBC) programme nationally. Home community based care organizations uses the community driven model in providing care and support to people affected and infected by HIV and AIDS, orphans and vulnerable children and child-headed households including people suffering from other medical conditions. Government is the main source of funding for HCBC organizations. HCBC are driven by unemployed women who are receiving a stipend ranging from R500.00 – R1000.00 per month.

77. Mr M M Swathe (DA) to ask the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform:
Whether his department has a rural development and land reform programme to eradicate development backlogs in the rural areas; if not, why not; if so, (a) what are the development priority areas, (b) when will they start to implement the programme and (c) how many stakeholders have they identified? NW79E
THE MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM:
Yes. The Department is in the process of piloting the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP) with the view of drawing lessons and refining our integrated approach to its implementation whereafter we will roll it out. It is a three-pronged strategy comprising of agrarian transformation, rural development and land reform.
The main objective of agrarian transformation is the achievement of vibrant and sustainable rural communities. Agrarian transformation focuses on, but is not limited to, the establishment of business initiatives, agro-industries, cooperatives, cultural initiatives and vibrant local markets in rural settings; the empowerment of rural people and communities especially women and the youth; and the revitalisation and revamping of old, as well as the creation of new economic, social and information communication infrastructure, and public amenities and facilities in villages and small rural towns.
Rural development is about enabling rural people to take control of their destiny, thereby dealing effectively with rural poverty through optimal use and management of natural resources. Rural development focuses on, but is not limited to, improving economic infrastructure such as fencing for agriculture and social infrastructure (libraries and clinics).
With regard to land reform, the focus will be on reviewing the Restitution, Redistribution and Tenure Reform Programmes. The main focus for the Restitution Programme will be expediting the processing of settled land claims and the settlement of outstanding land claims. The focal point of the Redistribution and Tenure Reform Programmes will be to develop less costly alternative models of land redistribution while reviewing the Willing-Buyer Willing-Seller model and legislation and policies that apply to both programmes.
(a) Pilot sites have been identified in Giyani, Limpopo Province and one in each of the other poor provinces.
(b) Implementation of the CRDP has begun with the pilot in Giyani in a village called Muyexe, involving 2000 households. The pilot is currently in the planning phase.
(c) All relevant provincial government departments in Limpopo are involved as well as the Mopani District Municipality and the Greater Giyani Local Municipality. Some private sector partners have also expressed interest in the pilots.

77. Mr N Singh (IFP) to ask the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform:
(1) Whether, in light of the chief land claims commissioner's statement that 97 percent of the land acquisition budget had been spent three months into the year, additional funds will be sourced to ensure that the land reform process is not delayed further; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;
(2) whether this lack of funds will necessitate an extension to the deadline for the completion of the land reform process; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;
(3) whether any additional measures will be introduced to expedite the land reform process and correct the inefficiencies that exist with its administration; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NO1092E
THE MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM
(1) Yes. Additional funding has been requested in the current financial year to meet the deficit under the Programme: Restitution.
(2) The Commission has requested an additional amount to clear commitments during the current financial year. It is clear that we do not have sufficient resources to meet our targets, and this is compounded by the current economic crisis. However, further interactions with National Treasury over the MTEF period regarding additional funding for land reform will continue.
(3) We will have to investigate less costly alternatives for land acquisition by engaging with stakeholders within the sector. A more pragmatic formula will be sought for land reform, one that will address the issue as part of our countries ongoing effort at national reconciliation.

Mr S B Farrow (DA) asked the Minister of Transport:
(1) (a) What processes are followed once a credit-card licence is renewed and the old licence handed over to the licensing authority, (b) how long is the old licence retained before destruction and (c) what instructions are in place to ensure the security of these old licences;
(2) whether any thefts of these old licences have occurred; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) where and (b) how many licences were stolen in each case?
NW92E
REPLY:
The Minister of Transport:
(1) (a)
Once a holder of a credit card driving licence has renewed his or her credit card driving licence, such expired driving licence card remains valid until a new credit card driving licence is issued and the period of validity of the expired driving licence card shall not exceed three (3) months, once the holder can prove that he or she has applied for a new credit card driving licence. The expired driving licence card remains in the possession of the holder and it is not handed to the driving licence testing centre. The legislation does not prescribe that on renewal the testing centre retains and destroy the old driving licence card. The card has a definite five (5) years expiry date, therefore after this date the driving licence card ceases to be an official proof of a driving licence.
(b)
The driving licence card remains valid until a new one is issued and this period shall not exceed three (3) months, whichever comes first.
(c)
Not applicable.
(2) The Department of Transport is not aware of any thefts reported on expired driving licence cards. Should these documents be stolen it would be worthless as it has already expired.
(a) and (b) Fall away.

Mr S B Farrow (DA) asked the Minister of Transport:
(1) Whether the La Mercy Airport, which is currently under construction, is (a) on target for completion and (b) meeting the original budget; if not, what has been the cause of (i) delays in construction, (ii) over expenditure and (iii) what is the revised projected (aa) completion date and (bb) cost of the project;
(2) whether these factors will have any impact on the business plan, in particular the recovery of capital and funding sources; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what impact?
NW80E
REPLY:
The Minister of Transport:
(1) (a) The construction of the new airport at La Mercy in KwaZulu-Natal is currently 20 days behind the targeted completion date. However, this targeted date is 30 calendar days before the contractual completion date.
The current delays are as a result of the extremely inclement weather during the 1st quarter of 2009, which has delayed certain parts of the development, specifically the civil works. The contractor is mitigating the delays by, amidst other means, introducing additional resources in order to recover the time lost by the end of the 3rd quarter of 2009. The completion date from the contractor remains the same with an operational opening date within the 1st week of May 2010.
(b) The project is still on target to be completed for the Airports Company South Africa Limited (ACSA) Board approved Capital Expenditure amount of R6.742 billion.
(2) There are no factors that affect the current business plan.

REPLY:
The Minister of Transport:
(1) (a) and (b)
Metrorail Western Cape has several tourist initiatives. With the City of Cape Town a hop-on-hop-off tourist pass is offered on the Simonstown line. This links tourists with local tourist attractions in the vicinity of the stations on the southern line.
This initiative will be expanded on to prepare the normal Metrorail service for recreational travel and tourists in 2010. Currently the southern line is very popular amongst visiting tourists. In addition, a small company offers secure off-peak coaches with the services of a tourist guide. Security has improved to the extent that off-peak patronage has improved significantly on the line. The provision of trains to big events will also be expanded upon, most notably the Vodacom Challenge Cup will be supported by rail again this year as pre-cursor and preparation for 2010.
(2) The design specifications of the coach windows are primarily for safety aspect. The asset life cycle is five (5) years and for the duration of this period the visibility is reasonable. The windows operate with a sliding mechanism and windows can open about 20 cm. The hop-on-hop-off tourist pass initiative allows tourists to visit stations to take footage with camera's or video recorders.
(3) Dayshift static security is deployed at most stations on the region, including the Simonstownline. Metrorail has 400 South African Railway Police (SARPS) members deployed in the Western Cape region. Customer service teams, together with contract security, are deployed randomly on trains.

QUESTION 80 (ORAL)
04 September 2009
Mr P B Mnguni (Cope) to ask the Minister of Public Works:
(1) Whether, with reference to the undertaking by the President in his State of the Nation address and the strategic plan presented for the Extended Public Works programme, the target set by the President will be achieved by the end of the year; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;
(2) whether there are any impediments that will limit the rollout of the 500 000 new jobs; if not, why not, if so, what are those impediments;
(3) how many of the promised 500 000 new jobs have so far been created;
(4) whether the level of skills transfer that has so far taken place through the Extended Public Works programme is up to standard; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;
(5) whether he will put in place urgent measures to ensure that the target of 500 000 jobs will be created by the end of the year; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply
1. Based on the EPWP past performance and the resources and support that the Programme is receiving currently, the Department is confident that the December 2009 target set by the President in his State of the Nation Address will be attained.
2. All public bodies from all spheres of government (in terms of their normal mandates and budgets) are expected to deliberately optimize the creation of work opportunities for unemployed and poor people in South Africa through the delivery of public and community services. As a result, the attainment of the targets depends on the commitment and effectiveness of the public bodies to implement EPWP projects.
3. During the first quarter, i.e. for the period April to June 2009, reporting was unsatisfactory. Feedback from implementing bodies across all three spheres of government has shown that there was poor and under-reporting on active projects across all three spheres of government. DPW has introduced a new web-based monitoring and reporting system in order to improve the reliability and verification of reported work opportunities. The introduction of this system has resulted in challenges from some public bodies that were unable to submit the required reports on jobs created before the cut-off date set for finalizing the first quarter result. The Minister has addressed this issue with the provincial MEC's who are responsible for coordinating the EPWP in their provinces and the backlog in reporting is being addressed and will be reflected in the second quarter results to be released in October 2009.
4. EPWP offered both accredited and non accredited but registered training through the Department of Labour (DOL). The training was mainly sector specific. A study commissioned by DPW as part of the EPWP monitoring and evaluation has showed that a substantial number of respondents indicate that they have received training. Overall, four in ten beneficiaries mentioned that training made them to be more self-confident whilst about one third said that training made them to be more skilled and will enable them to get other work.
For the current year the following should be noted:
- R 291 million from the National Skills Funds (NSF) has been approved by the Department of Labour for 2009\10 training initiatives. To date, EPWP has submitted training applications to the value of R43 952 658.
- A further R7, 3m NSF Strategic funds have been approved for the Artisan development of Nation Youth Service exited beneficiaries. Service Level Agreements with Northern Cape have been finalized with the HOD and DG.
- Bursaries for EPWP exited beneficiaries and learners have been secured from the Department of Education. Learners and beneficiaries will be placed at Further Education Training institution as part of the exit strategy.

MR J SELFE (DA) TO ASK THE MINISTER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES
Whether all employees of her department, who qualify for a salary adjustment in accordance with the Occupational Specific Dispensation (OSD), are receiving these adjusted salaries; if not, (a) why not and (b) when will the OSD be fully implemented in the department; if so, (i) how many employees are receiving adjusted salaries and (ii) what categories of employees are affected? NW85E
REPLY
Owing to the nature of the services delivered by the Department of Correctional Services, it has a number of occupations that are impacted on by the Occupation Specific Dispensation (OSD) as provided for in the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC) Resolution 1 of 2007; OSDs which include OSD Nursing (1 July 2007), Social Workers (1 April 2008), Educators (1 April 2008), Legal Practitioners (1 July 2008), Pharmacists and Medical Practitioners (1 July 2008), Psychologists (1 July 2009), Engineers (1 July 2009) and the OSD for Correctional Officials (1 July 2008).
Since the OSD matter is at different phases of development and implementation not all officials who qualify for salary adjustments in accordance with the Occupation Specific Dispensation (OSD) are receiving these adjusted salaries.
(a) As indicated in the paragraph supra, the PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2007 made provision for various categories of employees who would benefit from OSD with different dates of implementation. The implementation of each OSD is subject to separate negotiation processes in which the department is not necessarily leading.
(b) On the 24th of June 2009, negotiations in the GPSSBC have been concluded between labour and employer parties; as a result the GPSSBC Resolution 2 of 2009 was signed. Therefore, the implementation of the OSD for Correctional Officials is 1 July 2009 and the actual translations into new salaries will be implemented centrally by National Treasury by 15 August 2009. The second phase implementation (recognition of experience) will be implemented after 1 April 2010 as per GPSSBC Resolution 2 of 2009.
(i) The salaries of 741 Professional Nurses have been adjusted in accordance with the OSD for Nurses.
The salaries of 19 Legal Administration Officers have been adjusted in accordance with the OSD for Legally Qualified Professionals.
The salaries of 38 370 Correctional Officials will be adjusted in accordance with the OSD for Correctional Officials by 15 August 2009.
(ii) Other categories of employees (Social Workers, Psychologists, Medical Officers, Pharmacists and Engineers) stand to benefit from OSD as soon as agreements are signed in the PSCBC. However, the department is not the leading department in the development and implementation of these OSD.

REPLY:
(1) Yes, an experienced and qualified limnologist. Dr Carin van Ginkel is part of the Hartbeespoort Dam Remediation Programme Steering Committee and Aquatic specialist technical task team. and has been actively involved since the start of the programme in 2007.
In addition to Dr van Ginkel, Prof. Gert Steyn who is also a Limnologist! Aquatic Ecologist and Limnologist. Juha Keto, an international specialist! Limnologist from the City of Lahti in Finland are also actively involved in the programme.
(2)(a)Rand Water has been appointed as the implementing agent on behalf of My Department for the Harties Metsi a Me Integrated Bioremediation Programme.
(2)(b)Although Mr Sameer Morar is the project manager, there is a management team from Rand Water which consists of Mrs Mamorena Ramosoeu, Senior Project Manager and Mr. Mandla Xulu, Water Cycle Management Strategist.
(2)(c)The combined experience of the team in the water sector is Thirty one (31) years.
(2)(d)The programme monitoring included the development, updating, monitoring and implementation of the business plan. Internal monitoring includes monthly progress reports and quarterly progress reports to the Department, North West Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Environment and the Inter Governmental Steering Committee for the past three financial years. Rand Water continues to conduct the overall auditing of the programme. Table 1 below reflects the funding allocation for the project.
Table 1: Harties Metsi a Me Integrated Bloremediation Progamme Funding Allocation
| 2006/2007 | 2007/2008 | 2008/2009 | |
| Internal Programme Coordination Management and Control (Project Coordinating Office, HBPD Coordinating Committee) | R560 000 | R1055 000 | R1850 000 |
| Business Plan and Progress Reporting (Department, Executive Committees of both Departments and Steering Committees) | R320 000 | R190 000 | R215 000 |
(2}(e)My Department is the main sponsor for the programme, although Rand Water contributed a significant amount as part of the social commitment as a Water Services Provider in the catchment.
(2)(f) Rand Water is one of the oldest role players with extensive knowledge and experience within the Water Sector and is the largest supplier of potable water within the catchment of the Hartbeespoort Dam. Rand Water also offered its services to My Department on a no cost basis as part of their commitment and social responsibility.
(3) The fisheries project is not on schedule due to various operational institutional challenges experienced. The draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Local Rules for the Hartbeespoort dam was published during Water Week in March 2009 for public comment. The lack of signing off the Local Rules hamper the management of the local users (mainly recreational) of the dam which results in vandalism, damage and theft of equipment, as well as constraints the fish contractor experienced. The programme management has decided after investigation of various alternatives to extend the fisheries project through parallel fish harvesting initiatives.

Ms J D Killian (COPE) to ask the Minister of Communications:
(1) What is the (a) total number of television programmes and (b) total cost of these programmes purchased by the SA Broadcasting Corporation from (i) local and (ii) international production companies in the past two financial years;
(2) Whether these programmes have been televised within the licence period stipulated in the relevant contracts; if not, (a) how many were not televised, (b) what were the reasons for not televising such programmes and (c) what is the total cost of such programmes that were not televised; if so, what are the relevant details?
NW86E
REPLY
I have been advised by the SABC as follows:-
1. (a)
| YEAR | (i) LOCAL PRODUCTION COMPANIES | (ii) INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION COMPANIES |
| 2007/2008 | 547 programmes were commissioned | 1304 programmes were licensed |
| 2008/2009 | 622 programmes were commissioned | 918 programmes were licensed |
1. (b)
| YEAR | (i) LOCAL PRODUCTION COMPANIES | (ii) INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION COMPANIES |
| R '000 | R '000 | |
| 2007/2008 | R 365 253 | R 732 831 |
| 2008/2009 | R 388 946 | R 1 031 706 |
2. No.
(a) 122 and 140 international titles were not televised in the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 financial years respectively.
(b) The reasons for not televising these programmes are as follows:-
· Certain international programmes are purchased as a package deal – or bought in bulk - and cannot be bought individually. As part of the deal the SABC would receive extra library content which, in most cases, are not suitable for the various television channels.
The SABC entered in 3 volume deals with the major distributors of content for a 3 year period, in order to ensure that the broadcaster has content that is competitive across various genres. The package deals by their nature ensure that you have prime movie, drama, sitcom and children's content for all the major titles that were produced in a particular year by the distributor.
For each genre of content, the deal is structured in such a way that as well as acquiring the prime titles, you also acquire content from the distributor's library that was produced in the past. Due to the fact that the library content is old, it is often deemed as being non-competitive and therefore not suitable for the 3 television channels.
· Compliance with progressively increasing new local content, as per regulatory requirements, takes precedence over international content.
· A delay in the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) implementation for which some of the content was intended.
The SABC had planned for the launch of the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) channels several years ago. It was anticipated that the bulk of the content from the volume deals would be absorbed by DTT. With the delay in the launch of the channels this did not happen, and the 3 channels therefore had an over supply of content.

(2) whether advertising from her department will be curtailed from the day on which the election is declared to the day on which the results of the election are determined; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
NW100EREPLY:
(1) Yes. The National Department of Health did place advertisements on the media during the mentioned period. The details of the placed adverts are as follows;

To mobilise sectors of society to join hands in efforts to reduce factors that nurture injuries. To warn and caution society broadly about the causes of, and risk factors/contributing to injuries, and how to prevent them. To highlight to the public the harmful effect of alcohol and the link to injuries, risky sexual behaviour and unwanted pregnancies during the festive season. | Television SABC 1, 2 and 3, E TV Commuternet TV | December 2008 - January 2009 | R2,999,999.72 |

However, the Department views the placed advertising as undersized when compared with the healthy lifestyle awareness gaps and demands existing within the South African society. The inadequate awareness is due to the department's insufficient advertising funds.
(2) No. The Department will not cease its on going health campaigns driven through various communication channels.
The Department, as part of its mandate, deals with complex health issues which demand constant massive communication with the country's citizens.
The multifaceted issues evolve around the scourge of diseases such HIV/AIDS, TB, Cholera, and Malaria to mention a few. And, very recently the country, has and still, faced with the Cholera outbreak, particularly in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and Gauteng Provinces.
As much as the Department is inundated in controlling the outbreak of cholera, the TB also unendingly manifests itself as a great problem also.
Given these challenges faced not only by the Department but by the health care sector institutions, it remains significant and a priority for the department that massive public education through vast forms of communication initiatives be constantly driven jointly with its stakeholders to prevent infectious and lifestyle diseases
Prevention of communicable and lifestyle diseases through the strategic use of various media platforms as a tool to create awareness and education the public is one of the Department's priorities included in the government programme of action. As much as there are vast contributing factors to the country's burden of disease the Department has implemented various multimedia campaigns including public education and health promotion activities as tools that has impact on changing behaviours of our communities, encouraging them to adopt health seeking behaviours and to choose and live a healthy lifestyle so as to prevent diseases (communicable and non communicable) thus reducing the burden of disease on the Health system.
Lack of proper and correct information has been identified as one of the main contributing factors in the escalation of diseases and infections. This can be effectively addressed by giving information to the public using a variety of communication initiatives and media channels as a form of public education.
Therefore, due to the upcoming general elections, the NDOH views it improper and suicidal to the public to cease awareness campaigns aimed at sensitising and educating the public on ways and means of living healthy lifestyles.
Lastly, massive awareness media campaigns combined with the community health education and a range of other health promotion measures can enable the Department to do more in ensuring quality health for all living in South Africa.

Mr A C Steyn (DA) to ask the Minister of Housing:
(1) Whether her department placed an advertisement (a) in newspapers, (b) in magazines, (c) on radio and (d) on television during the period 1 January 2008 up to the latest specified date for which information is available; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, in each case, (i) in which (aa) newspapers, (bb) magazines, (ii) on which (aa) radio stations and (bb) television stations did it appear and (iii) what was the (aa) cost and (bb) purpose of placing the advertisement;
(2) whether advertising from her department will be curtailed from the day on which the election is declared to the day on which the results of the election are determined; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply
Communications is part of the responsibility of delivery. The Department of Housing's communication campaign has been on-going and is independent of election process. As such, it will continue in each financial year as the need to educate the public about the criteria for benefiting from the national housing programme and options available for beneficiaries will surely exist beyond the elections.

QUESTION 86
DATE OF PUBLICATION OF INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 08/06/09
(INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER 01-2009)
Dr PWA Mulder (FF Plus) to ask the Minister of Basic Education:
1. With reference to her reply to question 1990 of 23 November 2007, how many (a) Afrikaans single- medium schools and (b) Afrikaans parallel- medium schools and (c) Afrikaans dual-medium schools were there at the beginning of (i) 1994 and (ii) 2009;
2. (a) How many Afrikaans dual -medium schools have changed to English-medium schools since 1994, (b) in which provinces these schools are and (c) why the Afrikaans dual-medium schools changed to English-medium schools? NW89E
REPLY:
Question 1 (a and b).
The reply to question 1990 of 23 November 2007 is unfortunately not available to the Ministry and could not be obtained in the short period of time.
The information used to answer the above questions is extracted from the Annual School Survey raw data, hence it is provisional.
The following definitions were applied in answering the above questions:
Single-Medium School - It is a school that uses one language of learning and teaching for all learners in a school, in all grades.
Parallel-Medium School- It is a school that offers two or more media of instruction in different classes in the same grade, for all grades of the school.
Schools that have single-medium according to phases or grades are not included.
Schools that are Afrikaans parallel-medium for one phase or for particular grades are not included.
Please note that we do not have information for 1994. The earliest date for which we have reliable information is 2002. The latest date we have the information for is 2008.
The response to questions 1(a) and (b) is contained in table 1 and table 2.
Table 1: Afrikaans Single Medium Schools in 2002 and in 2008
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Source: 2002 and 2008 Annual Survey for Ordinary schools |
Table 1 above shows the number of single medium schools that used Afrikaans in 2002 and in 2008.
Table 2: Afrikaans Parallel (Afrikaans/English) Medium Schools in 2002 and in 2008
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Source: 2002 and 2008 Annual Survey for Ordinary schools | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Table 2 above shows the number of parallel-medium schools that used Afrikaans and English as media of instruction in 2002 and in 2008. These are schools that used English and Afrikaans as the LOLTs for all Grades of the schools.
Question 1(c)
Afrikaans dual-medium schools that changed to English medium schools since 2002.
The term "dual medium of instruction" refers to the employment of two languages as media of instruction, by means of alternation, in a situation in which the same learner receives tuition in both languages. A teacher switches from one medium of instruction to other repeating the same instructions on a 50:50 percent basis.
For a school to be classified as a dual-medium school, all learners of that school should be receiving the tuition through dual-medium of instruction. Such information is not collected from schools as it is very difficult to collect.
Question 2(a) and 2(b)
Table 3: Afrikaans Single Medium Schools that changed to Dual (Afrikaans/English) Medium Schools or to English Single Medium Schools since 2002.
We do not have any information on dual medium schools as indicated in response to Question 1(c). The information relating to parallel medium of instruction schools is provided in table 3.
| Province | 2002 | 2008 | Differences |
| EC | 221 | 213 | 8 |
| FS | 113 | 92 | 21 |
| GT | 266 | 255 | 11 |
| KZ | 45 | 32 | 13 |
| LP | 39 | 46 | -7 |
| MP | 27 | 96 | -69 |
| NC | 289 | 248 | 41 |
| NW | 78 | 98 | -20 |
| WC | 736 | 687 | 49 |
| Total | 1814 | 1767 | 47 |
Negative sign might mean that more Afrikaans schools were build since 2002 or some schools changed from parallel to single (Afrikaans) or the quality of 2002 data in some provinces was poor in 2002.
Question 2(c)
Reasons for change
The communities in the area of some of the schools have changed. English is more popular as a medium of instruction. In response to the growing number of learners wanting English as LOLT, the schools have introduced English as the second medium of instruction.
The declining number of Afrikaans speaking learners forces the schools to revert to parallel-medium (Afrikaans/English) schools.
Some parents preferred that their children be taught in English because:
- This could increase employment opportunities.
- To prepare their children for Higher Education.
- To prepare their children to be able to face challenges of modern life such as being able to complete banking forms, or any type of forms.
Question 87.
Mr J Schmidt (DA) to ask the Minister of Energy:
(1) With reference to the regulation published on 5 August 2009 in the Government Gazette (details furnished), (a) what are the procedures that she follows to award independent power producers (IPPs) contracts and (b) when will these contracts be awarded;
Answer
(a) The process for awarding contracts to IPPs follows two different processes, depending on whether the project is for (i) a fossil-fired energy IPP, or (ii) a clean energy IPP.
In the case of (i) the procedure to be followed for awarding contracts is promulgated under the provisions for the "IPP bid Programme" in the said regulation of 5 August 2009. The Independent System Operator (ISO), rather than Eskom, is charged with running a conventional tendering process in accordance with the provisions of the PFMA i.e. open, fair, equitable, cost effective and competitive. NERSA's role is to firstly approve the power purchase agreement to be signed between the IPP and the ISO and secondly to issue the generation licence to the IPP. Eskom's role is limited to that of Buyer of the power procured under this process, and they would be under an obligation imposed under their licence conditions, to buy all the power procured under the "IPP bid Programme".
In the case of (ii) the procedure to be followed is different and it is provided for under the REFIT (or renewable energy feed-in tariff) Programme. As opposed to the IPP bid Programme, the REFIT Programme is based on predetermined tariffs being offered to the IPP - as such the IPPs do not compete on the basis of price, but rather on a number of other criteria including (a) demonstration of availability of financing, (b) socio-economic impact, (c) geographical location of the plant, where preference is for projects that improve the stability of the grid, (d) readiness to production (preference is for projects that can produce sooner rather than later), (e) congruence with the integrated resource plan, which indicates what the primary energy preferences are over the long term.
The roles of NERSA, ISO and Eskom are identical to those under case (i) above.
(b) The contracts for IPPs will be awarded once (i) the ISO has been established as a legal entity and separated from Eskom, (ii) the regulator (NERSA) has concluded the process of establishing the rules mooted under the 5 August regulation (the rules relate to the adjudication criteria that must be applied by the ISO in selecting the preferred IPPs under the REFIT Programme). In addition, a government support package must be provided to the ISO in order to enhance the credit-worthiness of the ISO to allow them to enter into power purchase agreements with IPPs.
It is anticipated that all of these conditions would be in place by December 2009 so that the IPP contracts can be executed under the REFIT and IPP bid Programmes.
POSSIBLE FOLLOW-UP QUESTION
Why is Eskom not signing the contracts with IPSA, Sasol and others under the cogeneration IPP Programme that is called MTPPP (medium term power purchase programme)
Answer
Eskom is under severe financial strain and their Board of Directors have cited the provisions of the Companies Act, in particular their fidicuiary responsibility, to the extent that it could be considered reckless of them to enter into these IPP contracts when they were not in a position to honour the financial obligations imposed under these contracts. Eskom has indicated that amongst other conditions, government financial support must first be confirmed before they could sign any of these IPP contracts.
The ISO is therefore a credible alternative to Eskom in the sense that the ISO, once established, could enter into IPP contracts earlier than later because they do not have the same extent of financial constraints that Eskom currently has.
(2) whether Eskom will be compelled to buy electricity from IPPs, if not, what is the position in this regard; if so,
Yes, under the regulations Eskom will be compelled to buy power procured under the IPP bid Programme and the REFIT programme
(3) whether the price will be determined by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa); if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details;
Yes, NERSA has already promulgated the tariff levels in respect of biomass, wind, mini-hydro and concerntrated solar power under the REFIT Programme. They will also approve the tariffs under the IPP bid Programme.
(4) whether independent buyers will be allowed to buy electricity from the IPPs; if not, why not; if so,
No, independent buyers will not be allowed to buy power directly from IPPs but rather from the Independent System Operator (ISO). This is simply because (i) the IPP will not be able to bank their investment on the basis of a buyer/s who do not provide the long-term offtake certainty that the ISO would provide, and (ii) even where the buyer provided the necessary long-term offtake certainty, the introduction of wholesale (or even retail) competition must be preceded by careful market preparation including the tempering of certain market dominance by the IPP generator due to their merit order in the integrated system.
As an example, an IPP generator that provides system balance cannot provide their power to one customer to the detriment of the whole system, as this would disrupt the entire national system. The introduction of wholesale competition in other countries is preceded by the development of market rules including appropriate surveillance to temper possible anti-competitve behaviour by IPPs that would lead to market collapse. In the South African context, the market would not work whilst the reserve margin is as low as it currently is.
(5) whether the price of electricity will be regulated; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Yes, it will be regulated for the forseeable future.

The DPW conducts maintenance above R 20 000 which are done under the Planned Maintenance programme or service contracts which include mechanical and electrical repairs.
Therefore, maintenance of the of the houses falls within the DPW delegation, except where the property is deliberately damaged by the user. However, due to limited budget allocation for maintenance, DPW currently prioritises maintenance of functional accommodation.
(d) The Planned Maintenance Implementation programme is being developed annually by the department however, not all services can be prioritised due to budget constraints.
Maintenance Cost incurred by DPW since 01 April 2008 to date
· Cost to replace an electrical Cable theft on site R 538, 068. 48
· Electric repairs R 9, 210. 06
· Pump repairs R 33, 989. 14
2. Asset maintenance and management is conducted primarily on unutilised military
bases within a limited budget allocation.
A Defence Exit Strategy has been developed within the DPW to accommodate the future utilisation of underutilised and unutilised properties.
A list of 86 properties has been compiled to date, and DOD has been requested to formally confirm whether the listed properties will be required for future operational purposes.
DPW will conduct a feasibility studies for purposes of making informed custodial decisions with the involvement of the user.

Mr AM Mpontshane (IFP) to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training:
Whether his department has taken any steps with regard to the high number of outstanding loans owed to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) and the impact this is having on both students and administrators; if not, why not; if so, what steps?
NW95E
REPLY:
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is currently recovering approximately R40 million per month in loan repayments from past student debtors. The total recovered from loans, including interest in 2008 was R616 million. The recovered funds are reallocated to fund new students in the subsequent year. The amount is significant against the total budget of R2.496 billion for 2009.
The scheme has however identified the need to responsibly maximize the recovery of outstanding loans from all eligible debtors. Through its partnership with the South African Revenue Services, NSFAS is able to track students who secure formal employment and who are then registered on the Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) taxpayer register. In this regard, one of the strategic goals of the NSFAS for the period 2009 to 2011 is to review its loan recovery strategy.
As part of the terms of reference of the review of the Scheme, the committee will also assess the nature and extent of former and current students indebted and blacklisted by NSFAS and universities, and to recommend appropriate action to be taken to deal with the problem. This Committee has commenced its work and will provide the Minister of Higher Education and Training with a report before the end of 2009. The report will be published for public comment.

DATE OF PUBLICATION: TUESDAY 08 SEPTEMBER 2009 [IQP No 15 -2009] SECOND SESSION, FOURTH PARLIAMENT
Questionê94 for Oral Reply, National Assembly: Mr. L L Bosman (DA) to ask the Minister for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries:
(1) Whether her department has taken any steps to (a) promote export opportunities for agricultural products and (b) ensure competitive prices for these products on global markets; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what steps;
(2) whether any mechanisms are used by her department to protect local grain producers from competing against the importation of highly subsidised products from abroad; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NO1408E
REPLY:
(1)(a) At present, export promotion for all products, including agricultural products is a mandate that has been delegated to the Department of Trade and Industry through an agency called Trade and Investment South Africa (TISA). The dti, through TISA promote exports by facilitating inward buying missions and export promotion missions in overseas markets. The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) works closely with the dti on the agricultural export promotion drives and we hope to work even closer on export promotion for agricultural products.
(1)(b) Since the phasing out of the export subsidy scheme, the Generalised Export Incentive Scheme (GEIS) by the Department of Trade and Industry, the Government has not subsidised exports or prices in any distorting way. There are no direct interventions to ensure that prices are competitive overseas besides the broad-based schemes by the dti, mandated to promote trade and investment. For a number of years, the DAFF has been working very hard and lobbying in international forums to motivate for the elimination of export subsidies because of their distorting trade effects. The removal of these subsidies will ensure that our products compete on a fair basis. In the Doha round of negotiations it has been agreed that all export subsidies will be eliminated by 2013.
The honourable Member must further note that competitive prices are a function of a number of factors such as meeting the following requirements: quality, labelling, sanitary and phytosanitary, Good Agricultural Production practices as well as whether the products are exported to a country that is off season for that particular product(s). The role of the DAFF is to keep producers and exporters abreast of the changing import requirements imposed by importing countries to ensure that our products compete fairly in global markets.
(2) South Africa has an authority in the form of the International Trade and Administration Commission (ITAC) under the dti that investigates the practices that distort fair international trade such as subsidies and dumping. The dti has a range of trade remedies in place to counteract unfair trade practices. The objective of having the trade remedies in place, including tariffs is to ensure that local farmers who are competitive continue to produce and are protected against unfair international trade. Farmers and farmer organizations have over a number of years approached ITAC where they experienced unfair trade and the commission has always investigated such requests and acted on the basis of evidence provided. The DAFF has also developed an agricultural tariff policy framework for consideration by the dti's ITAC in its application of tariff policy on agricultural products.

Mr N J van den Berg (DA) to ask the Minister of Communications:
(1) Whether he is going to make more radio frequencies available; if not, why not; if so, (a) how many frequencies, (b) how many consumers will it be made available to and (c) what does the cost per unit comprise;
(2) whether the Independent Communications Authority of SA (ICASA) will inform the public about the number of dormant radio frequencies that is currently under the control of the South African National Defence Force; if not, why not; if so, when?
NO1409E
REPLY
(1) (a) ICASA, through the review of the South African Table of Frequencies, is planning to make available new frequencies. However, this is still being consulted on with stakeholders and is subject to my approval. The bands are as follows: 9 Kilohertz (KHz) to 3000 Gigahertz (GHz).
(b) It should be noted that no frequencies are made available directly to consumers. Frequencies are only made available to licensees.
(c) The cost depends on the usage. For instance for licence telecommunication services, the price is R770.00 per Megahertz, whereas for the Industrial Scientific Manufacturing band, which is considered exempt, there is no cost.
(2) The number of frequency spectrum allocated to and used by the South African National Defence Force cannot be made known for security reasons.
However, I wish to state that the issue of spectrum management and spectrum usage is a high priority for my Department due to the fact that it is a national virtual resource where, in certain frequency bands, the demand for spectrum far exceeds the amount of spectrum that is available.
South Africa does not have a national policy dealing with issues of spectrum usage. This has resulted in ad hoc decisions being taken on spectrum usage, often driven by commercial considerations only. Therefore, the Department is in the process of developing a policy that will ensure the efficient spectrum management and usage, and that will provide over-arching guidance for the utilisation of radio frequency spectrum in the broad national interest, in line with the Polokwane resolution. One key principle of this policy in respect of assigned radio frequency spectrum is "use it or lose it". This principle will be applicable to all users. In this regard the Department will commence with a key project to facilitate an audit of the usage of all assigned spectrum.

Mr M W Sibuyana (IFP) to ask the Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry:
Whether the problems of cholera in Limpopo and Mpumalanga is related to the quality of drinking water; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
NW110E
---00O00---
REPLY:
Scientifically it is proven that humans are the primary source for the cholera causing bacteria named vibrio cholera and are also the source of the spread of cholera through faecal-oral route.
The main symptom is a sudden onset of diarrhoea with or without vomiting. Initial cases identified by Health officials, all met the case definition criteria.
The manifestation of cholera occurs largely in areas without adequate water and sanitation services which results in a situation where the faecal matter of affected individuals could have ended up in the surface water resources through diffuse pollution from areas with inadequate sanitation; or waste water effluent which is not properly treated or disinfected.
Due to the fact that the causative agent vibrio cholerae is extremely sensitive to chlorine (disinfectant), cholera is unlikely to be contracted from treated water.
LIMPOPO PROVINCE
Movement of people infected with cholera across the border into South Africa was a trigger to the spread of cholera in Limpopo. The spread of cholera was accelerated by human to human contact, lack of safe water and sanitation facilities, lack of health facilities (on the side of Zimbabwe) and more significantly, lack of health and hygiene practices. The influx of people from Zimbabwe coming into South Africa in search of health facilities placed tremendous strain on temporary water and sanitation facilities provided as an interim measure. As a result, people had to resort to using open fields to relieve themselves. After the rain few rivers in Limpopo got contaminated and people, without the benefit of infrastructure, who still rely on the rivers as a source, were consequently negatively affected. In essence, in the case of Limpopo, cholera incidents were not linked to tap drinking water, but are linked to people drinking unsafe water from streams and other unprotected sources. This Department has therefore explore itself to source funding for purchasing of package treatment plants in order to provide safe water to communities without infrastructure. In this regard we have reprioritised an allocation of R18 million to purchase package treatments.
-2-
MPUMALANGA PROVINCE
In the case of Mpumalanga, some communities got infected from drinking untreated water from polluted river and results show that there is a direct link between the raw water quality and cholera problems in some affected areas that are not yet served. Furthermore, municipalities like Bushbuckridge, had challenges with managing their infrastructure and this led to untreated sewerage being discharged into the rivers. In addition, this municipality failed to take extra precautions (disinfections) to make sure that water is treated to the correct standards. It is in such cases that communities contracted cholera from drinking water from the tap. The total number of reported cases in the region is 6529 with 30 deaths, with a notable decrease from 107 cases per day to an average of 40 cases.
Subsequent to the outbreak, Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW), which are failing to treat effluent to acceptable quality levels have been identified and are prioritised for urgent intervention to ensure that the pollution cycle, is disabled, with a special focus on upstream of affected areas, In addition, the Bushbuckridge Municipality installed 35 chlorinators to most of the boreholes around Marite where the cholera outbreak started. The Municipality further identified 62 boreholes which they are currently chlorinating. The sewage works and all portable drinking water schemes will be installed with proper disinfecting equipment by end of March 2009.

QUESTION NUMBER 97 DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 8 SEPTEMBER 2009 (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NUMBER 15) Adv H C Schmidt (DA) to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources: (1) What steps have been taken to develop institutional mechanisms and structures in order to give support to historically disadvantaged persons in respect of transforming the mining industry; (2) whether her department and/or any other department or institution will be responsible for the implementation of these steps; if so, (a) when and (b) what are the further relevant details? NO1428E REPLY 1 My department developed the first mechanism of implementing the transformation agenda with the precursor charter, the mining charter, which Charter sets out specific targets for transformation of the industry, with particular emphasis on extending the benefits to the historically disadvantaged South Africans, including, albeit not limited to community benefits, ownership and management participation. The vesting of custodianship of mineral rights to State has enabled my department to attach conditions to the issuing of mining rights, which seek to effectively drive the transformation agenda. This meant that as companies apply for mining rights (including conversions of old order rights), their commitment in relation to the transformation pillars of the Charter are scrutinised and for the basis of the conditions of their license. 2 My Department is implementing this legislation a.

Question 99 Question 100 QUESTION 100 DATE OF PUBLICATION OF INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 12/06/2009 (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER 02-2009) Ms JC Klopper-Lourens (DA) to ask the Minister of Basic Education: (1) Whether there are any educators registered who are not South African citizens; if so, (a) how many and (b) which countries did they come from; (2) Whether her department has any plans to increase the number of foreign teachers in our schools; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW106E REPLY: (1) Yes there are educators employed who are not South Africans. According to PERSAL, there are about 2354 foreign educators employed by the Department of Education. The majority of foreign educators are from Zimbabwe, followed by India with a few spread amongst other countries, such as: Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Zambia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Malawi, Botswana, Lesotho, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon and Sudan.
(2) Yes, the Department of Education has plans to increase the number of foreign teachers in our schools where it necessitates filling pots that cannot be filled with suitable qualified South Africans. The main aim of the Department will not be confined to having educators in class for delivery of the subject matter, but it is to ensure that there is a transfer of skills from foreign educators to the local educators and learners and/or vice versa. As a point of departure, the process of Foreign Educator Recruitment must be seen as an intervention by our Government to address the shortage of skilled Mathematics, Science and Technology educators in the country. The shortage of Mathematics, Science and Technology educators in our country poses a serious challenge given the fact that these subjects are seen as key to driving our economic development as a country. To justify this, in April 2007 the Minister of Home Affairs announced the specific occupational categories and professional classes as well as applicable quotas within which foreigners may apply for quota work permits in terms of section 21(1) of the Immigration Act, 19 of 2004. A quota of 1000 educators was allocated to the Department of Education for professionals teaching Mathematics, Science and Technology. Currently the Department of Home Affairs allocated a quota of 4000 work permits to our Department. Interaction was made with about 50 countries requesting them to assist in the recruitment of educators specializing in Mathematics, Science and Technology. Countries like Egypt, India and Kenya showed interest in our request and they are prepared to assist with educators. The Department also established a data base for unemployed educators and published an advertisement in the local news papers regarding the data base for unemployed educators, both local and foreign, specializing in Mathematics, Science and Technology. This advert did well for the Department in the sense that most of the CVs received were from the foreign educators. The Department has also appointed a Service Provider to assist with the management of the recruitment and selection process of foreign educators.
QUESTION NO.: 83 DATE OF PUBLICATION: 08 September 2009 Dr S M van Dyk (DA) to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises:† (1) What has been the success of the steps that were taken to avert the electricity crisis; (2) whether the compulsory energy saving by consumers can be lifted; if not, what additional steps can Eskom take for it to be lifted; if so, (a) when and (b) what developments and measures will Eskom introduce to lift compulsory energy saving? NO1397E REPLY (1)The reduction in demand due to the economic crisis and energy efficiency initiatives, the improvement in Eskom's generation plant performance and coal stockpile levels, the return to service of mothballed power stations and the building of the OCGTs in the Western Cape have improved the situation and prevented load shedding since 2009. Eskom has also started an extensive generation and transmission build programme to ensure security of supply in the next 5 to 7 years. This must be accompanied by a focus on energy efficiency to ensure that a future crisis is averted. Decisions on future capacity will be made through the Integrated Resource Planning process detailed in regulations published in August 2009. (2)There are no compulsory energy savings in place presently. However, there have been engagements with customers on a one to one basis and through various industry fora to voluntarily look at energy efficiency initiatives as this is necessary for improving the reserve margin in the short term and to allow the country more time to make decisions on future generation capacity. It will also ensure that we contribute towards reducing emissions levels and making our economy more competitive QUESTION 96 ORAL REPLY 16 SEPTEMBER 2009 Mr S J Masango (DA) to ask the Minister of Public Works: (1) Whether the Government Immovable Asset Management Act, Act 19 of 2007 has been fully implemented; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) Whether this Act is being complied with by (a) the Government and (b) provincial governments; if not, why not; if so, to what extent? NO1411E REPLY: The GIAMA Act 19 of 2007 was promulgated in April 2009 to come into operation for National Departments and for Provincial Departments, in April 2010. Since Parliament assented to the bill in November 2007, both National and Provincial Departments have been doing some preparatory work towards implementation. The National Department of Public Works has started with the implementation and all departments have been engaged and are familiar with the provisions of the act. The newly created Departments will be taken on board as well and should be ready for implementation next financial year. It is envisaged that GIAMA will be fully implemented by both National and Provincial Departments by March 2011.

(3) No. QUESTION NO.: 100 DATE OF PUBLICATION: 8 SEPTEMBER 2009 Mr S N Swart (ACDP) to ask the Minister of Economic Development: (1) Whether the Government's fiscal stimulus package and the R787 billion infrastructure programme has succeeded in cushioning the economy against the worst effects of the global economic meltdown; if not, why not; if so, how did he reach this conclusion; (2) whether any other factors contributed to the recession and the loss of 500 000 jobs this year; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether the additional package of measures announced recently flowing from the framework agreement between business, labour and Government in February will prevent further job losses; if not, why not; if so, how? NO1433E REPLY (1) Honourable Member, it is government's view that the stimulus package is cushioning the economy against the worst effects of the global economic crisis. The cushioning has been achieved in various ways: In the first instance, government took the deliberate stance that we would not cut spending levels despite a decrease in revenues, and a likely increase in the budget deficit. Public sector expenditure and investment levels have been maintained, in the face of the serious contraction in private sector investment. By pumping liquidity into the economy in recessionary conditions, government is using what economists refer to as a countercyclical macroeconomic stimulus, which aims to maintain economic activity in the face of collapsing international and domestic demand contraction. The R787 billion infrastructure investment programme is illustrative of the significant increase in capital spending by the broader public sector. This investment programme has two broad effects. Firstly, it has created many thousands of jobs directly during the construction period, shoring up businesses in several supply sectors of the economy. A cursory glance at either the employment data or the GDP data shows that construction and civil engineering in particular has been one of the star performers in the economy. If it was not for these projects, the economy would have contracted faster and we would have lost even more jobs. Secondly, these investments will raise future growth in South Africa through lifting the infrastructure bottlenecks in electricity generation, roads, ports, rail, water and other social sectors. These investments provide a platform for private investment who are reliant on reliable, affordable and efficient public infrastructure. We recognize that government spending can only partially cushion the economy against a decline in demand for its exports. For example, if the global market for vehicles falls, we export less platinum. While fiscal spending can help create jobs in other sectors, it is not likely to be able to offset job losses in the platinum mining sector. For this reason, government has decided to defer the introduction of the mining royalties tax by one year to help companies in this sector cope with lower demand. (2) Clearly, the recession is the critical factor that has led to the job losses cited by the Honourable member. The recession is the expression of the contraction of the economy and the resultant job losses. The collapse in global demand was the trigger which resulted in global commodity prices and our exports falling, resulting in retrenchments, particularly in mining and manufacturing. Nevertheless, some structural features of our economy clearly make us more vulnerable to these periods of international economic turmoil, for example: our excessive dependence on the export of commodities, and our vulnerability to fluctuations in commodity prices; the weakness of the domestic and regional market, due to widespread poverty, and an inadequate industrial base; the unhealthy dominance of consumption-driven activities and sectors, and the underdevelopment of our productive, manufacturing base, etc. This is why government's programme is designed to combine defensive measures with longer term structural interventions, which will enable us to weather international economic fluctuations, in a more robust and sustainable way. (3) Yes Honourable member, the measures we announced will minimize the rate of job losses. For an example, the training layoff scheme will have three positive results: · An alternative to retrenchment · Provision of training and skills enhancement · It will pump R2.4 billion into the economy in what is a stimulus that results in people buying goods and services. We have also introduced a package of support to distressed companies in three sectors and committed to speeding up payments by government to small, medium and micro enterprises and other businesses within 30 days. The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) is assisting distressed sectors by providing credit and thereby ensuring that jobs and capacity are retained. The IDC approved R485 million for 14 distressed companies in 2008/09 and R738 million for 11 companies from April to August 2009. In the auto sector, business and labour have formulated a commitment that provides that companies receiving crisis-related assistance "must commit to a moratorium on retrenchments for the duration of the assistance period" with a provision for variation to this commitment in cases where it is necessary for a firm's survival, with requirements for independent verification of financial and other relevant information. Government is in the process of developing models to calculate the impact of government's interventions on employment, and to ramp up the labour-absorbing impact of public sector infrastructure spending. This will include ways to increase the impact of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPW). We aim to ensure that the fiscal stimulus that we propose will be optimally used through localized procurement, to extract the maximum job creation impact, to combat the job loss in the private sector. Honourable Member I am convinced that we can respond to these formidable economic challenges, particularly, if we all, both the public sector (including all organs of the State), as well as Parliament, organized labour and the private sector, work together in reducing job loses.

The collapse in global demand was the trigger which resulted in global commodity prices and our exports falling, resulting in retrenchments, particularly in mining and manufacturing. Nevertheless, some structural features of our economy clearly make us more vulnerable to these periods of international economic turmoil, for example: our excessive dependence on the export of commodities, and our vulnerability to fluctuations in commodity prices; the weakness of the domestic and regional market, due to widespread poverty, and an inadequate industrial base; the unhealthy dominance of consumption-driven activities and sectors, and the underdevelopment of our productive, manufacturing base, etc. This is why government's programme is designed to combine defensive measures with longer term structural interventions, which will enable us to weather international economic fluctuations, in a more robust and sustainable way. (3) Yes Honourable member, the measures we announced will minimize the rate of job losses. For an example, the training layoff scheme will have three positive results: · An alternative to retrenchment · Provision of training and skills enhancement · It will pump R2.4 billion into the economy in what is a stimulus that results in people buying goods and services. We have also introduced a package of support to distressed companies in three sectors and committed to speeding up payments by government to small, medium and micro enterprises and other businesses within 30 days. The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) is assisting distressed sectors by providing credit and thereby ensuring that jobs and capacity are retained. The IDC approved R485 million for 14 distressed companies in 2008/09 and R738 million for 11 companies from April to August 2009. In the auto sector, business and labour have formulated a commitment that provides that companies receiving crisis-related assistance "must commit to a moratorium on retrenchments for the duration of the assistance period" with a provision for variation to this commitment in cases where it is necessary for a firm's survival, with requirements for independent verification of financial and other relevant information. Government is in the process of developing models to calculate the impact of government's interventions on employment, and to ramp up the labour-absorbing impact of public sector infrastructure spending. This will include ways to increase the impact of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPW). We aim to ensure that the fiscal stimulus that we propose will be optimally used through localized procurement, to extract the maximum job creation impact, to combat the job loss in the private sector. Honourable Member I am convinced that we can respond to these formidable economic challenges, particularly, if we all, both the public sector (including all organs of the State), as well as Parliament, organized labour and the private sector, work together in reducing job loses. QUESTION NO. 099 INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 12DATE OF PUBLICATION: 28 August Mr G R Krumbock (DA) to ask the Minister of Tourism: With reference to recent media reports indicating that only 63% of tourists who attended the Confederations Cup intend visiting South Africa for the 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup Tournament, (a) how does this compare to previous Confederations Cup to World Cup revisiting statistics and (b) what were the reasons expressed that more than one third of Confederations Cup tourists not wish to revisit South Africa for the World Cup? NW1207E QUESTION 78 QUESTION 85: Mr I M Ollis (DA) to ask the Minister of Labour: Whether he intends taking remedial steps to address the financial state of the Sector Education and Training Authorities receiving qualified financial audits; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NO1399E The Minister of Labour Replied: The total number of SETAs out of the 21 that I have tabled their financial reports in Parliament that received qualified financial audits during the 2008/09 financial year are two namely: the Construction SETA and the Media and Printing SETA (MAPPP-SETA. There are two SETAs namely the Energy SETA (ESETA) and the Public Service SETA (PSETA) that did not submit their Annual Reports by 31st August 2009 for tabling in parliament. Save for matters on emphasis on certain aspects, the other 19 SETAs have so far received clean audit report. The following actions will be taken against the four SETAs:
The SETA Coordination and the Directorate Public Entities held regular monthly Chief Financial Officer's Forum during 2008/09 financial to deal with financial matters, aspects that could lead to qualifications and other Auditor General related matters. Kicking and screaming, I hope the four SETAs will be frog matched to these meetings in order to make sure that they join the other 19 SETAs in achieving unqualified audits reports and submitting these on time for tabling in parliament. QUESTION NO. 97 DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 12 JUNE 2009 (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO. 2) Mrs P de Lille (ID) to ask the Minister of Health: (1) Whether the contract that was signed on 13 December 2007 by a certain person (details furnished) with a certain company (name furnished) to supply pressure swing adsorbers (PSAs) to certain hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal, (a) asserted that the company is in compliance with ISO 10083 or SABS 0224-1009 standards, (b) registered with the Medicines Control Council (MCC) and (c) further registered to manufacture oxygen at (i) Murchison hospital and (ii) Rietvlei hospital; if not, why not in each case; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether the contract considered the cost (a)(i) of the electricity supply of the PSA units, (ii) backup oxygen supply and (iii) disposal and replacement of the machinery at the end of its lifespan and (b) comparative cost of installation of liquid oxygen supply in certain slightly larger hospitals; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether there is a plan to include a second and third phase of installation of PSAs by the company at larger district, regional and tertiary hospitals; if not, why not; if so, (a) how cost effective would this be and (b) for what reason would the contract be extended; (4) whether the pilot project at a certain hospital (name furnished) met the standard; if not, why (a) did the department sign the contract with the company and (b) was the contract fast-tracked; if so, (i) what were the required standards and (ii) to what degree were they all met; (5) whether his department considered the compatibility of all installed medical equipment with the proposed system following the ventilator failures at Rietvlei; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW102EREPLY: (1) (a) In terms of the specifications, it is a requirement that the oxygen/gas mixture meet the requirements of ISO 10083 of 2006. The units provided by Intaka were compliant with US pharmacopoeia and ISO 10083 thus complying with the requirements of the specification. In terms of the Service Level Agreement, Intaka has undertaken to supply medical oxygen at 93% purity according to the USP26NF 21 standard, with a final concentration of 95% according to the above mentioned pharmacopoeia. (b) The Medicines Control Council (MCC) had not prescribed any regulations with regard to the registration or licensing of oxygen generating units such as the unit provided by the successful bidder. It was not a specification of tender that MCC registration was required. (c) Murchison and Rietvlei Hospitals were not included in the first or second phase of the award. (2) When the tender was advertised, the price advertised was in respect of the monthly payment based on the rate per kg. The specification was received from Infrastructure Development who are the experts in the field. (3) The technical committee resolved that the installation of oxygen manufacturing plants must be done in phases: District Hospitals using cylinders; District Hospitals using bulk tanks; Institutions that are undergoing expansion Regional and Tertiary Hospitals The Evaluation Committee resolved the phases to be as follows: Phase 1: District Hospitals who have cylinders as this will start to create savings for the Department; Phase 2: District Hospitals who have bulk oxygen tanks; Phase 3: Institutions currently undergoing expansions; Phase 4: Regional and Tertiary Hospitals (based on the outcome of the pilot project) Depending on the outcome in terms of success of Phases 1 - 3 , the fourth phase will be entered into. However, the tender document made provision for phases 1 -3 only. (4) According to the technical committee who visited sites, the successful bidder had two units installed at hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal, which units are fully functional supplying low pressure air as well with the relevant safety features. These units have proven themselves and should be considered. The pilot project was phases 1 – 3 and depending on the success of these phases, the fourth phase will be engaged. The tender for the on site manufacture and delivery of bulk medical oxygen followed the supply chain management processes, in terms of being advertised in the relevant media, evaluated, adjudicated upon and eventually awarded, accordingly. The specification set out the requirements that the Company must comply with, and in view of the company complying with all relevant requirements, they were accordingly awarded. A service level agreement was entered into with the successful bidder. (5) The technical specification committee comprising of Mr VC Halvey, Mr R Westwood and Mr VRM Ntshangase undertook site visits of sites where companies could supply oxygen generating plants, in order to evaluate their units. With regard to the awarded company, this company has PSA units installed at hospitals in South Africa. There are two units installed at two hospitals in Kwazulu Natal. The unit visited is fully functional supplying low pressure air as well with the relevant safety features. These units have proven themselves and should be considered. Based on the above, the recommended company who have PSA units in two hospitals were recommended for award. QUESTION NO. 91 DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 26 JUNE 2009 (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO. 4) Questions Day: 21 October 2009 Ms E More (DA) to ask the Minister of Health: (1) (a) What are the problems resulting in long delays in the processing of applications by the (i) SA Nursing Council and (ii) the Foreign Workforce Management Programme and (b) what steps has he taken to address each problem; (2) in each of the three most recent specified years for which information is available, (a) how many foreign-qualified nurses wrote the entrance exam to allow them to work in South Africa, (b) what are their countries of origin and (c) how many passed the exam; NW279EREPLY: (1) (a) (i) With regard to the South African Nursing Council: · A record of training, accompanied by a declaration is required from the foreign country of origin to confirm that training was undergone at an accredited nursing education institution and the said candidate did comply with all the minimum requirements of the programme leading to registration in a prescribed category. This has to be completed by the head of the school and submitted directly to the Council in South Africa. Some of the schools take months to respond. On submission, some information is either incomplete or incorrect, and this therefore necessitates follow-up communication from the Council requesting outstanding information. This record has to be evaluated to assess if the nurse complies with the minimum requirements to be registered in a prescribed category in accordance with the nurse's application; · A verification certificate from the regulatory body in the country of origin, certifying that the applicant is in good professional standing and that there are no professional or criminal cases pending against him/her is required. Several challenges in this area include non-return of these documents sometime despite reminders; delayed returns especially from countries with no councils or where there are political unrest; and return of unauthentic or fraudulent documents; · Application forms that are incomplete or fraudulent in a variety of ways; · Certificates of general education and professional education from foreign nationals are evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) for parity. Some do not comply with the South African requirements and therefore sometimes nullify the application; · Unregistrability: Some applicants do not meet minimum requirements for registration in a particular category, but remain adamant for months to years demanding registration that cannot be granted; · The normal process does to a degree create a perception of a delay. Upon application, the following need to happen: - the National Department of Health (Foreign Workforce Management Programme) has to issue a letter of support for the individual to seek employment in the country; - documents have to be sent to a foreign country (foreign council and school of training) and returned to South Africa; - general and professional certificates have to be evaluated by the SAQA; - a council examination has to be written in accordance with the council's schedule for national examination and passed; and - the National Department of Health has to issue a second letter allocating the applicant to a particular health facility in a province in accordance with the health service needs. This letter is issued only once the applicant has passed the examination. It should be pointed out also that processing of the application to completion is possible only when all the required information and documentation is available from all the abovementioned references, hence the association of delays with the South African Nursing Council (b) The South African Nursing Council has put in place the following mechanisms to address the problems that are within its scope: · increase in the number of foreign examinations to six (6) per annum so that whatever documentation is processed, the applicants are allowed to enter for the nearest examination. The yearly examination schedule accommodates three (3) examinations per programme per annum; · discussions with some regulatory bodies, the most recent being the DRC; · a separate system has been put in place for applicants whose documents cannot be submitted due to the applicant's refugee status; · a different document flow process within the Council is being implemented to mitigate where there are observed bottlenecks; · guidelines are issued by the Council to assist applicants to understand the requirements and the process; and · personal interactions with applicants to assist with clarity regarding requirements. The South African Nursing Council has a challenge in addressing delay/problems arising from external sources such as foreign nursing schools or regulatory bodies.
