Mrs P de Lille (ID) to ask the Minister of Communications:

(1) (a) When will MTN and Vodacom be declared major operators and (b) why has the process been delayed by four years;

(2) Whether there is a report on the public hearings on this process that was held in 2004 by the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa); if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details;

(3) Whether he will take any steps to ensure that these operators will be declared as major operators; if not, why not; if so, what steps;

(4) Whether he will make a statement on the matter?

NW978E

I have been advised by ICASA as follows:

1. (a) MTN and Vodacom will not be declared major operators as the Electronic Communications Act No. 36 of 2005 (ECA) does not provide for the declaration of certain operators as major operators.

(b) The Telecommunications Act No. 104 of 1996 provided for the declaration of certain players as major operators. However this was repealed by the ECA.

2. No, there is no report on the public hearings as Cell C withdrew its request to declare MTN and Vodacom major operators. As a result, the matter was not taken forward and ICASA published a Notice of withdrawal in the Government Gazette.

3. No, I will take no steps to declare these operators as major operators in view of the fact that the ECA does not provide for the declaration of major-operator status.

4. Not applicable.

QUESTION NO 835

DATE REPLY SUBMITTED: MONDAY, 14 SEPTEMBER 2009

DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: FRIDAY, 21 AUGUST 2009 (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 10 – 2009)

Mr M S F de Freitas (DA) asked the Minister of Transport:

(1) Whether a database is kept of companies (a) that failed to deliver on tenders and (b) with whom business relations have been terminated for this reason; if not, why not; if so, how many companies are on these lists;

(2) whether this list is consulted when new tenders are received; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

NW984E

REPLY:

The Minister of Transport:

(1) (a) and (b)

No. The National Treasury, and not the Department of Transport (DoT), keeps a database of companies (a) that failed to deliver on tenders and (b) with whom business relations have been terminated for this reason.

The DoT does not know how many companies are on this database. The National Treasury keeps the list confidential. The DoT did not yet restrict a supplier in terms of Practice Note Number SCM 5 of 2006.

Paragraph 1.2 (2) (d) of Practice Note Number SCM 5 of 2006 states that "an organ of state may restrict the contractor, its shareholders and directors from obtaining business from any organ of state for a period not exceeding 10 years"

Paragraph 23.6 of the General Conditions of Contract further states that if a restriction is imposed, the purchaser must, within five (5) working days of such imposition, furnish the National Treasury, with the following information:

(i) the name and address of the supplier and/or person restricted by the purchaser;

(ii) the date of commencement of the restriction;

(iii) the period of restriction; and

(iv) the reason for restriction.

These details will be loaded on the National Treasury's central database of suppliers or persons prohibited from doing business with the public sector.

(2) Yes. The list is consulted when new tenders are received.

The Department of Transport confirms with National Treasury by e-mail whether a contract may be awarded to a particular supplier to determine whether a supplier is on the list of restricted suppliers before any bid is awarded. The National Treasury does not make the complete list available.

According to Treasury Regulations 16A9.1(c) an Accounting Officer/Authority must check the National Treasury's database prior to awarding any contracts to ensure that no recommended bidder or any of its directors are listed as companies or persons prohibited from doing business with the public sector.

The Department of Transport complies with the stipulations of the said Regulations as written confirmation pertaining to the status of all bidders is obtained from National Treasury and placed on record prior to the awarding of any contracts.

DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: FRIDAY, 21 AUGUST 2009 (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 10 – 2009)

Mr M S F de Freitas (DA) asked the Minister of Transport:

(1) Whether, with reference to Fifa's concerns on transport and related issues at the Fifa Confederations Cup Tournament, an investigation or study has been or will be done regarding this issue; if not, why not; if so, (a) who will be involved and (b) which aspects will be investigated or studied;

(2) how will his department ensure that any deficiencies do not occur at the Fifa 2010 World Cup Tournament?

NW985E

REPLY:

The Minister of Transport:

(1) (a) and (b)

Yes, an investigation, in the form of a "FIFA 2009 Confederations Cup Transport Observations and Feedback" debriefing report has been conducted. The report was produced, after attendance and observations were implemented at selected matches during the tournament. The detailed report features the transport provisions made during the event, what difficulties and challenges were experienced, and recommendations for the 2010 Soccer World Cup™. The report can be viewed on the Department of Transport's website: www.transport.gov.za (under the link Special Projects).

The report provided an overall impression of the transport support from a spectator viewpoint, with observers attending matches as general spectators, with no pre-arranged, special transport. It does not cover the FIFA Family/ Special Travel Groups transport operations, as that was specially arranged and provided by the Local Organising Committee.

The report covered the transport offering that was available nationally and regionally, focusing on the following:-

Ø National coordination;

Ø aviation;

Ø national communications programme;

Ø rail (commuter and long distance), as provided by the Department's agency, the Passenger Rail Agency Of South Africa (PRASA); and

Ø on a regional level, the "Gauride" service provided by the Gauteng Department of Transport

On the Host City level, the observations were carried out covering the following areas:-

ü City transport serving strategy;

ü local communications programme;

ü event signage;

ü Park and Ride (P & R) sites;

ü P & R collection/drop-off points at stadia;

ü on the ground workforce-drivers/volunteers;

ü traffic management and security;

ü incident management;

ü post-match pick-up; and

ü finances

(2) The main observations were carried out during the attendance of selected games at each of the FCC venues (Rustenburg, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg and Pretoria) by individual observers. Immediate feedback and recommendations were given to the transport planners for each of the venues and a more detailed set of observation notes was prepared for each venue. All the observations were also shared with all nine World Cup cities, as part of the transport sector debriefing session, and have been used to influence the next level of transport operational planning for the upcoming 2010 World Cup™.

Mr S B Farrow (DA) asked the Minister of Transport:

(1) Whether his Director-General signed a performance contract with him; if not, why not; if so, when;

(2) whether all senior managers in his department signed performance contracts with the Director-General; if not, (a) which senior managers did not sign, (b) for what reason and (c) when will it be done; if so, on which date did each senior manager sign a performance contract?

NW997E

REPLY:

The Minister of Transport:

(1) No. A draft performance contract of the Director-General: Transport was submitted to the Public Service Commission on 31 August 2009. Due to the fact that the Director-General's present contract comes to an end on 31 October 2009, the matter of her performance contract has not been finalized.

(2) All Senior Managers are not required to conclude performance contracts with the Director-General. They are, however, required to conclude performance agreements with their immediate supervisors. It is only the Deputy Directors- General heading the different Branches in the Department who are required to have their respective contracts signed off by the Director-General.

The Deputy Directors-General have submitted their performance contracts to the Director-General as required.

(a), (b) and (c) Fall away.
