QUESTIONS 

For written reply: 

Escapes from Qalakabusha Prison 

1193. Mr J SELFE (DA) asked the Minister 

of Correctional Services: 

(1) Whether any official investigations 

have been conducted into the second 

attempted escape by inmates from 

the Qalakabusha Prison in July 2008; 

if not, why not; if so, 

(2) whether the investigations has been 

concluded; if not, why not; if so, 

what were the findings; 

(3) whether any action has been taken 

against any officials in respect of the 

attempted escape; if not, why not; if 

so, what are the relevant details? 

NW1932E 

The MINISTER OF CORRECTIONAL 

SERVICES: 

(1) The attempted escape of five sentenced 

offenders from Qalakabusha Correctional 

Centre is currently under investigation 

by a team appointed by the 

Regional 

Natal. 

Commissioner KwaZulu- 

(2) The investigation has not been concluded 

as the team has to follow up on 

information received during the taking 

of statements. Follow up statements 

have to be taken to confirm this information. 

(3) No action has as yet been taken against 

any officials as the recommendations 

from the investigation report will provide 

guidance as to whether disciplin-


4 

ary and/or criminal steps should be 

instituted against any officials. 

ECD/GETC/FET/other educators in 

correctional youth centres 



(a) What is the number of (i) Early 

Childhood Development (ECD) educators, 

(ii) General Education and Training 

Certificate (GETC) educators, (iii) Further 

Education and Training (FET) educators 

and (iv) Higher Education and 

Training educators in each correctional 

centre holding sentenced children of 16 

years of age or less, (b) what is the ratio 

between children and educators per correctional 

centre, (c) what is the number of 

educator vacancies per correctional centre 

and (d) how long have these vacancies 

been open per correctional centre? 

NW1933E 


SERVICES: 

(a) (i) The Department of Correctional Services 

has never recruited educators 

qualified in Early Childhood Development 

(ECD) as over the past 

number of years, appointment of 

educators was primarily focused on 

the delivery of classroom tuition and 

administrative support functions to 

sentenced offenders. 

(ii) and (iii) The current post establishment 

of the Directorate Formal Education 

does not differentiate between 

a GET and a FET educator hence our 

Annexure 

Western Cape Region 

Management 

area 

Correctional centre 

Number of 

educators 

educators offer tuition in both bands 

at any point in time. See attached 

annexure for the number of educators 

available in centres housing 

children of 16 years of age or less. 

(iv) HET is a post-matric qualification 

hence no children are pursuing studies 

in this band. Even if there were 

children wishing to pursue HET 

studies, the only help we would 

normally render would be in the 

form of administrative support in 

terms of enrolment, receiving and 

forwarding of assignments to the 

respective external learning institutions 

etc. Sentenced children of 16 

years of age within the custody of 

DCS are still in the process of 

completing their GET Certificate or 

National Senior Certificate and 

(b) 

therefore no children of this age 

category have enroled in HET study

collaboration between the professional 

nurses and the attending 

medical practitioners, taking into consideration 

the health status (clinical 

condition) of the inmate (patient). In

the frequency of care that the 

patient must receive, and the availability 

of health resources.

for treatment in the provincial 

hospitals where they will be admitted, 

treated and later discharged back to the 

correctional centre with further indications 

on how they should be further 

cared for. Some of the patients referred 

to these public hospitals are not admitted 

as anticipated and as such they are 

then accommodated either in the correctional 

centre in-patient facilities or 

the single cells. 

In other instances where a provincial 

hospital indicates that there is no capacity 

to admit the patient, then the 

patient will be referred to a private 

hospital for further management of 

his/her health condition. 

Official poverty line index 

1596. Mr D T GEORGE (DA) asked the 

Minister of Finance: 

Whether an official poverty line index as 

announced in the 2008 Budget Speech has 

been introduced; if not, (a) what progress 

has been made in finalising the index and

SERVICES: 

(a) The introduction of an official poverty 

line index was planned for March 2008

Subsequent to this announcement, the 

introduction of the poverty line index 

was postponed in order to facilitate 

consideration of stakeholder views that 

emerged in response to the planned 

publication process. 

Given the diversity of stakeholder audiences, 

this meant undertaking additional 

research and expanding the 

technical document in ways that would 

enable stakeholders to better understand 

the poverty line and its place in 

poverty measurement. 

The process for this additional work is 

nearing completion, with validation


18 

and technical quality control processes 

planned for the end of September 2008. 

(b) The introduction of the index is planned 

for a date after Stats SA’s presentation 

to Cabinet on methodologies for 

constructing a poverty line.

The MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL 

AFFAIRS AND TOURISM:

1256. Mr I F JULIES (DA) asked the 

Minister for the Public Service and Administration: 

What amount was spent by officials of her 

department on (a) hotel accommodation, 

(b) restaurant expenses and (c) travel 

costs (i) in the 2007-08 financial year and 

(ii) during the period 1 April 2008 up to 

the latest specified date for which information 

is available? NW2004E 

The MINISTER FOR THE PUBLIC SER- 

VICE AND ADMINISTRATION: 

All expenses for official travel, including 

expenditure for accommodation, travel, 

claims for food, laundry the consumption of 

nonalcoholic beverages etcetera are governed 

by a departmental travel policy to 

ensure that no inappropriate expenses are 

incurred. One example is that employees 

may not consume alcohol at the expense of 

the department. Other examples include the 

grade and cost of accommodation, the grade 

of car that can be hired for official purposes, 

the amounts that can be spent on meals and 

so on. Furthermore all such expense is 

audited by the Auditor-General to ensure 

that it is in line with the applicable legislation 

and regulations. 

(a) (i) The total amount spent by officials 

during the 2007-08 financial year on 

hotel accommodation is R5,039 million. 

(b) (i) The amount spent by officials on 

restaurant expenses cannot be determined 

for the 2007-08 financial year 

since the existing financial system 

did not record restaurant expenditure 

separately. 

(c) (i) The amount spent by officials on 

travel costs totals to R18,723 million. 

The total amount spent by officials for the 

period from 1 April 2008 to 31 August 2008 

on: 

(a) (ii) Hotel accommodation: R2,514 million. 

(b) (ii) Restaurant expenses: R21 087,98. 

(c) (ii) Travel costs: R7,914 million. 

Strategies used by Seda to attain goals 

1286. Dr P J RABIE (DA) asked the 

Minister of Trade and Industry: 

(1) Whether his department is satisfied 

with the strategies used by the Small 

Enterprise Development Agency 

(2) 

(Seda) to attain the development 

goals at (a) local, (b) regional and (c) 

national level; if not, what is the 

position in this regard; if so, 

what will be the cost implications of 

appointing (a) a new chief executive 

officer (CEO), (b) a deputy finance 

officer (DFO) and (c) an enterprise 

service manager for Seda? NW2024E 

The MINISTER OF TRADE AND INDUS- 

TRY: 

(1) The Small Enterprise Development 

Agency (Seda) was established to make 

available nonfinancial support services 

in an integrated fashion and increase 

the leverage of the previously scattered 

support services through a standardised 

national delivery network throughout 

South Africa. This has been well coordinated 

from the national level. 

(a) At a local level Seda has established 

networks at regional and 

national level with 51 branches 

and 90 Enterprise Information 

(b) 

Centres (EICs) across the country. 

Seda has established nine provin-


22 

cial offices which together with 

the branch offices and EICs provide 

nonfinancial support across 

the country in an integrated fashion. 

Services to small enterprise 

include business registration, 

business planning support, tender 

advice and related advisory assistance, 

facilitation of access to finance, 

co-operatives support, and 

business start-up advice, manufacturing 

advice, productivity improvement 

training and exporter 

development training. Seda also 

manages the technology support 

programme, which operates 

through its 23 technology centres 

covering most provinces. 

(c) Overall, Seda’s national information 

centre records an annual average 

of 90 000 people visiting its 

branch offices across the country 

and about 50 000 people visit 

Seda EICs annually. 

In line with any institution that has had 

to establish itself through a merger and 

deliver while instilling new organisational 

structures and values, Seda 

has had its own share of challenges. 

Many of the current challenges arise 

because of the need to do more than it 

has already done. Seda is faced with a 

challenge of how to access financial 

resources to keep up with its growth 

and quickly and efficiently build the 

additional capacity necessary for an 

institution that has, in three years, 

reached the size of an organisation that 

Seda has become today. 

(2) The cost implications for appointing 

the identified positions are as follows: 

Role 

Remuneration 

CEO R901 500 

Senior Manager Finance (referred 

to as deputy finance office) 

R417 248 

Role 

Network Executive (referred to as 

enterprise service manager) 

Remuneration 

R630 777 

Vacant senior management posts: 

performance agreements 

1393. Mr K J MINNIE (DA) asked the 


(1) With reference to a certain steering 

committee meeting (details fur- 

(2) 

nished) held on 17 June 2008, how 

many (a) vacant senior management 

posts existed and (b) performance 

agreements had not been signed by 

senior managers in each province as 

reported in this meeting; 

whether any steps have been taken 

against underperforming provinces 

after this meeting; if not, why not; if 

so, what steps? NW2137E 



(1) Emanating from a FOSAD engagement 

early in 2007 with the President, a 

number of priority projects called 

APEX projects were identified and 

approved. APEX Project 15 was identified 

with the aim ‘‘to regularise employment 

and performance agreements 

at designated management levels’’. The 

project involves the following two activities 

— 

● to ensure the filling of current vacant 

positions of DG/HoD, DDG, CFO 

and municipal managers; and 

● to ensure that by 30 June 2007 and by 

May of every year thereafter, all SMS 

members have signed and submitted 

Performance Agreements. 

In order to institutionalise project 15 

for 2008-09 financial year, a circular 

was sent to provincial administrations 

and national departments to reiterate


24 

the importance of all SMS members to 

sign performance agreements by 

31 May; the obligation of departments 

to submit the relevant information to 

dpsa for reporting purposes and to 

ensure compliance with the PMDS 

policy by taking corrective measures. 

The due date for the submission of the 

said information from departments was 

17 June 2008 in order for a report to be 

completed. Following receipt of the 

required information, a report referred 

to supra was compiled on the signing of 

PAs for the 2008-09 performance cycle 

and the filling of vacant positions for 

submittance to the July Cabinet 

Lekgotla. 

(a) The numbers of SMS members in 

each provincial department fluctuated, 

as members resign, be ‘‘promoted’’, 

appointed and then the 

establishment also increases/decreases. 

The vacancies of SMS 

posts are contained in the tables at 

Annexure A. The information was 

obtained from the departments 

through a survey/gathering of information 

up to 11 August 2008. 

The departments indicated in grey 

did not respond. 

(b) As the management of performance 

agreements (PAs) is the responsibility 

of each Executive 

Authority the dpsa gathered/obtained 

the relevant information 

through a circular and templates 

that were issued to departments. 

The response rate from departments 

on the signing of PAs on the 

due date of 17 June 2008 was 25% 

as 16 national and 20 provincial 

departments responded respectively. 

The number of SMS members 

from provincial departments 

with signed and without signed 

PAs who responded up to 11 August 

2008 is as illustrated in the 

tables at Annexure A. 

Following receipt of the required 

information a consolidated report 

was submitted to and served at 

Cabinet Lekgotla on 24 July 2008. 

Cabinet reiterated its earlier decision 

and further decided that 

(2) 

departments be given the opportunity 

until 30 September 2008 for 

senior managers to conclude performance 

agreements for the current 

financial year. 

Against this background the Minister 

for the Public Service and Administration 

in a letter to the Premiers and 

Ministers at national level indicated 

that according to the information at her 

disposal not all senior managers have 

signed performance agreements. She 

therefore requested the Premiers to 

facilitate the signing of PAs by all SMS 

members in their departments and to 

provide the requested information. 

Flowing from the abovementioned the 

Minister directed in terms of the Public 

Service Act, 1994, as amended, that 

those SMS members who do not comply 

with the conclusion of performance 

agreements (without showing good 

cause or reason) will not qualify for any 

performance incentive including pay 

progression for that performance cycle. 

The due date will be 31 May of each 

year. 

Where SMS members and/or their 

supervisors do not conclude (without 

showing good cause or reason) and file 

the performance agreements with their 

human resource components (OPSC 

for HoDs) by 30 September 2008 (for 

the current cycle), the necessary corrective 

disciplinary measures need to be 

taken (see section 16A of the Public 

Service Act, 1994 as amended). 

The matter pertaining to the probation 

period will be included in the revised 

Pubic Service Regulations. It entails 

that newly appointed members who


26 

have not signed and filled their performance 

agreements with the relevant 

human resource components within the 

first three months after appointment, 

would have their probationary period 

extended by a period equivalent to the 

delay following the mandated first three 

months after appointment. It is envisaged 

that the new Public Service Regulations 

will be issued during September 

2008. 

The dpsa and the Minister for the 

Public Service and Administration will 

via a circular and letters respectively 

Province/Department 

convey the abovementioned decisions 

and request departments and Ministers/ 

Premiers to enforce the necessary corrective 

measures against those senior 

managers who have failed to comply 

without a valid reason on 30 September 

2008. 

In the case of the late signing or 

nonsigning of performance agreements 

the nature of the disciplinary steps 

taken against senior managers by departments 

will depend on the reasons 

for and specific circumstances regarding 

noncompliance.

Strengthening of Lottery Trust Fund 

distribution agencies 

1510. Mr L B LABUSCHAGNE (DA) asked 

the Minister of Trade and Industry: 

Whether any steps are being taken to 

strengthen the distribution agencies of the 

National Lottery Trust Fund; if not, why 

not; if so, what steps? NW2252E 


TRY: 

A research report commissioned by the dti 

entitled ‘‘Review of the National Lotteries’’, 

highlighted certain challenges and constraints 

experienced by the distributing 

agencies. These included capacity constraints 

as well as operational and administrative 

challenges. Based on the findings of 

the report, the dti intends to amend the 

Lotteries Act, in order to strengthen the 

distribution agencies as well as the functioning 

of the National Lottery. 

Standards for awarding credit 



What standards does the Credit Regulator 

require credit bureaus to apply when 

granting credit? NW2253E


34 


TRY: 

The National Credit Act and the Regulations 

set standards that apply to credit bureaus in 

respect of the credit bureau information, per 

sections 70 to 73 of the Act and Regulations 

17 to 19. These standards address the following: 

(a) The verification of consumer credit 

information received and maintained 

by credit bureaus. 

(b) The parties to whom and purposes for 

which the credit bureaus may issue 

reports. 

(c) Consumers’ rights to access and challenge 

credit records and credit bureaus’ 

obligations in respect of assessing such 

challenges and removing information 

(S72). 

In respect of the standards for credit 

granting by credit providers: 

(a) The Act protects the credit provider’s 

right to refuse to grant credit on any 

reasonable commercial ground (S60). 

(b) The Act also protects a consumer 

against discrimination in respect of 

credit (S61) and gives the consumer the 

right to be provided with the reasons for 

credit being refused (S62). 

(c) The Act also creates protection against 

reckless credit granting (S78 to S84), 

whilst obliging the consumer to be 

truthful in the disclosure of information 

on credit obligations to the credit provider 

in the application for credit 

(S81(4)). 

Report by Corpcapital 



Whether he will release the final report on 

a certain company (Corpcapital) to the 

public; if not, why not; if so, (a) when and 

(b) what are the further relevant details? 

NW2255E 


TRY: 

In terms of the Companies Act, Act 61 of 

1973, ‘‘the Act’’ there is no specific action 

prescribed with regard to the printing and 

publishing of reports such as in the case of 

the investigation into the affairs of the 

Corpcapital Group of Companies. The preferred 

approached is that approval should 

only be given for the printing and publishing 

of such reports if there is information in the 

report that is deemed necessary to divulge in 

the public interest. 

In line with section 261 of the Act, copies of 

the Inspector’s Report on the affairs of the 

Corpcapital Group of Companies were furnished 

to the company and the person who 

requested the investigation. Copies of the 

Report were also forwarded to the South 

Africa Reserve Bank and the South African 

Revenue Service as per the Inspector’s 

recommendation. In terms of the Act, any 

person who is a member of the company or 

of any other body corporate dealt with in the 

report or whose interests as a creditor appear 

to be affected and who request a copy of 

the report, can be provided with a copy of the 

report at the prescribed fee. No such request 

has as yet been received in respect of the 

Report on the Corpcapital Group of Companies. 

Available information therefore does not 

indicate the need for the release of the 

Report on the Corpcapital Group of Companies 

to the broader public.

in this regard; if so, 

(2) whether Transnet intends taking any


36

Positions available after resignations 

1607. Ms A M DREYER (DA) asked the 

Minister of Labour: 

(1) In each of the past three years up to 

the latest specified date for which 

information is available, (a) what 

was the number of positions (i) 

available and (ii) vacant and (b)(i) 

how many people have resigned, (ii) 

what positions did they hold and (iii) 

why did they resign; 

(2) (a) what are the qualifications of the 

(i) Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), 

(ii) Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) 

and (iii) of those acting in these 

positions at each Seta and (b) what 

are the qualifications of board members 

serving on the board of each of 

the Setas? NW2356E 

The MINISTER OF LABOUR: 

I would want to refer the hon Ms A M Dreyer 

to my answer to her Question 1120, published 

on 27 June 2008 wherein amongst 

others I said: 

‘‘While I am always ready to respond to hon 

Ms Dreyer’s and other Members of Parliament’s 

questions, I also equally expect without 

prescribing to hon members that 

questions asked, exhibit a certain level of 

contextual understanding of the system at a 

minimum or be very specific so that I can 

provide a correct answer. 

I do not keep that information and we do not 

have plans to collect such information in the 

near future as there is no legislative obligation 

or neither is it useful in the administration 

of SETAs. The information that we keep, 

is in line with the Service Level Agreement 

concluded with each SETA annually to 

measures their performance.’’ 

‘‘I have nonetheless attached the latest 

contact details of all SETAs and hon Ms 

Dreyer and other Members of Parliament 

are free to contact them directly to request 

for such detailed information.’’ 

I have not heard a question or comment 

suggesting that SETAs have refused to 

furnish information required by any member 

of parliament including the latest information 

that the hon member requires. I have 

again included a contact list and SETA 

websites in case the hon member experienced 

filing problems. I would also urge 

members of Parliament and specifically Ms 

Dreyer to please read the annual reports of 

SETAs that I table annually in Parliament. 

Setas carrying our sector audits 



(1) Whether all sector education and 

training authorities (Setas) carry out 

sector audits before commencing 

their training programmes; if not, (a) 

why not and (b) what informs the 

Setas’ training programmes; if so, 


(2) whether all Setas keep track of the 

learners after enrolment with regard 

to whether they (a) complete their 

training and (b) are subsequently 

employed; if not, why not; if so, (i) 

what are the relevant details and (ii) 

why is this information not reported 

in each of the Setas’ annual reports; 

(3) whether mid-term evaluation studies 

were conducted by each Seta; if not, 

(a) why not and (b) which Setas did


44 

not; if so, what are the (i) relevant 

details of these studies and (ii) their 

findings? 


NW2357E 

(1) (a) All SETAs do carry out skills 

development audits as part of the 

development and implementation 

of their Sector Skills Plans (SSP) 

as is required under the Skills 

Development Act 1998. The SSPs 

are a consolidation of the various 

Workplace Skills Plans (WSP) and 

includes sectoral skills research 

studies that each SETA commission 

in their sectors. 

(b) SETAs do not train people directly. 

They use the information to 

influence the direction or 

(2) (a) 

programmes developed by providers 

to be responsive to the needs of 

the labour market. The service 

providers and learners use the five 

year SSP information in the development 

of relevant programmes 

whilst learners use the information 

for career choices. The Department 

of Labour also consolidates 

all the SSPs and the research 

information into a five year National 

Scarce Skills list that we 

publish and update each year. 

All SETAs do keep and maintain 

accurate records and data in accordance 

with the Learnership and 

Apprenticeship regulations on the 

number of learners who have 

signed SETA related contracts and 

are in programmes such as 

(b) 

learnerships, internships, apprenticeships 

including those allocated 

bursaries to until they complete 

their learning. 

(i) and (ii) SETAs do not have or 

maintain accurate data on learners 

that have completed their contractual 

arrangements and are currently 

in employment hence this 

information is not reported on in 

their Annual Reports. We had to 

introduce extra measures to track 

and maintain such information as 

part of our impact measures and 

assessment of the effectiveness of 

our learnerships and other 

(3) 

programmes. 

SETAs that are well off financially used 

to conduct individual mid term surveys 

(i.e. two and a half years of the five 

years cycle of the National Skills Development 

Strategy) on learner placement 

as part of their impact 

assessments. However in order to get a 

better national impact assessment and 

uniformity in the approach, to avoid 

duplication and wastage of resources, 

and to accommodate the small income 

SETAs, the Department of Labour has 

assumed responsibility in conducting 

these surveys. We have entered into a 

contractual agreement with the Human 

Sciences Research Council to conduct 

the Learnerships and other related research 

in other areas of our skills 

development and labour market interventions. 

The reports produced including 

learnerships impact assessment, 

once signed-off, are posted on our 

websites while some are made available 

in print form. 

Money stolen from PSETA 



(1) Whether more than R50 million was 

stolen from the Public Services Sector 

Education and Training Authority 

(PSETA); if so, 

(2) whether anyone was held accountable 

for the theft; if not, why not; if 

so, (a) who and (b) what action was 

taken against the person or persons; 

(3) whether the PSETA has failed to pay 

learners since 2005; if not, what is 

the position in this regard; if so, (a) 

how many learners have not been


46 

paid and (b) what amount is outstanding 

in each case; 

(4) whether any steps were taken to 

rectify this situation; if not, why not; 

if so, what steps; 

(5) whether the PSETA is assisted with 

administrative services by the Department 

of the Public Service and 

Administration; if not, (a) when were 

these services stopped, (b) why were 

they stopped and (c) what services 

were stopped? NW2358E 


(1) I do not know of R50 million that was 

stolen from the PSETA. I was informed 

of the alleged mismanagement of an 

estimated amount of about R740 000 

that was part of the R106 million Public 

Service Learnership that we allocated 

under the National Skills Fund to the 

Department of Public Service and Administration 

and the PSETA. 

(2) The DPSA did lay charges of theft in 

2005 when the incident was brought to 

their attention. The former PSETA financial 

manager, Mr Maxwell Munyai 

was arrested and is currently still in 

custody and his two accomplices who 

are not PSETA employees are out on 

bail. The court case is still pending at 

the Serious Economic Offences Court. 

(3) Payments to learners were suspended 

as a precautionary measure after this 

incident was uncovered. 

(a) A total of 52 learners have since 

submitted the required affidavits 

and correct bank accounts for their 

outstanding payments. 

(b) The total amount owed to the 

learners was R211 700. 

(4) I am advised that the PSETA did send 

correspondence to the learners’ last 

contact addresses requesting them to 

submit claims for those outstanding 

payments and to also submit affidavits 

and correct bank details so as to effect 

the payments. 

(5) The PSETA has since establishment, 

remained within the DPSA until it was 

listed as a public entity during May 

2005. Although they now have their 

offices, the DPSA continues to render 

their administrative services as the 

PSETA does not have the necessary 

systems. 

(a) to (c) The corporate services excluding 

salaries were temporarily 

suspended by the DPSA as from 

8 August 2008 to 15 September 

2008 pending the conclusion of a 

Memorandum of Understanding 

with the PSETA. 

Impact of learnership programme 


the Minister of Labour: 

(1) Whether his department has conducted 

an audit of the impact of its 

learnership programme; if not, (a) 

why not and (b) when will such an 

audit take place; if so, what were the 

outcomes of the audit; 

(2) whether any steps have been taken as 

a result of these findings; if not, why 

not; if so, what steps? 


NW2364E 

(1) (a) We did commission the Human 

Sciences Research Council to conduct 

a mid term impact study on 

our learnership programme during 

2007 and the draft reports were 

released during March 2008. The 

report was presented to a joint 

session of the National Skills Authority 

and SETAs during August 

this year and once signed off, will 

be available on the DoL website 

and in print form. 

(b) The report is quite detailed in its 

learnership impact findings and


48 

conclusions. The following are 

some of the conclusions: 

(i) Almost two thirds of enrolments 

and mainly black are at 

the low-skills NQF levels but 

these learners entered learnerships 

with an intermediate 

qualification. 

(ii) There are still racial disparities 

as the majority of those enrolled 

in learnerships are still predominantly 

black. The percentages 

of whites are mainly in 

higher NQF levels and in 

Learnerships offered by SETAs 

in the finance sectors. 

(iii) About a third of learners are 

concentrated in the Services, 

Construction and Merseta learnerships. 

(iv) Most learners have migrated to 

provinces such as Gauteng to 

participate in these learnerships. 

(v) Learners with matric moved in 

zigzag pathways and opted for 

leanerships at lower levels and 

not initially aligned to their high 

school studies. 

(vi) Learners participating in the 

learnership programmes have 

high expectations of securing 

employment on completion. 

(vii) About 63% of section 18.1 (employed) 

and section 18.2 (unemployed) 

learners who completed 

their learnerships accessed 

employment. 

(viii) A small percentage of learners 

who completed the programme 

were pursuing further studies. 

(ix) Formerly unemployed (section 

18.2) African females who 

completed low NQF levels 

were finding it difficult to find 

employment. 

(x) The overall perception amongst 

learnerships participants is positive 

in terms of improvement 

of their employment prospects 

and enhancing their self-confidence. 

(2) We have already taken steps, as part of 

the Skills Development Amendment 

Bill 2008 process, to ensure alignment 

amongst learning pathways to attain 

artisan status. The proposed Quality 

Council for Trades and Occupations 

will also make it possible for these 

learners to pursue their studies beyond 

artisan level. We have also revised our 

criteria in the allocation of funds from 

the National Skills Fund to influence 

the intake in terms of race, gender and 

disabilities so as to correct the racial 

imbalance. Some of the recommendations 

will be deliberated on further 

during the upcoming skills development 

conference. 

Gas spheres in PE harbour 



(1) Whether the two 1 000 cubic metre 

gas spheres in the Port Elizabeth 

harbour are currently in use; if so, 

(2) whether they are safe; if so, what are 

the relevant details; if not, 

(3) whether there are any plans to relocate 

the two LPG gas spheres to a 

safe locality; if not, why not; if so, (a) 

when and (b) where will they be 

relocated to? NW2393E 


PRISES: 

(1) Yes, the two 1 000 cubic metre gas 

spheres in the Port of Port Elizabeth are 

in use. 

(2) The gas spheres are safe, and they


50 

comply with the safety regulations that 

apply to the rest of the tank farm. In 

respect of the management of environmental 

and safety hazards associated 

with the operation of the fuel tank farm, 

the Port of Port Elizabeth is ISO 14001 

certified and complies with all environmental 

requirements. 

Transnet further ensures that the opera- 

tor of the fuel tank farm, the fuel 

industry, complies with legislation on 

the management of environmental and 

safety hazards associated with the operation 

of the fuel tank farm. 

(3) There are no plans to relocate the two 

LPG gas spheres. They are operated 

within the tank farm in accordance with 

strict safety controls.

QUESTIONS 


Damage caused by storm in KZN 


Minister for Provincial and Local Government: 


an investigation to determine 

the extent of the damage caused by 

the storm in KwaZulu-Natal; if not, 

why not; if so, what are the relevant 

details; 

(2) whether communities that were affected 

by the storm were warned 

timeously; if not, why not; if so, what 


The MINISTER FOR PROVINCIAL AND 

LOCAL GOVERNMENT: 

(1) Yes. Immediately after the disaster, the 

National Disaster Management Centre 

commissioned an independent service 

provider to conduct a rapid assessment 

of the damage in the affected areas. 

(2) Yes. A warning alerting the public to 

the possibility of heavy rain was issued 

by the SA Weather Service at 16:00 on 

Monday, 16 June 2008, a full 24 hours 

ahead of the onset of the heavy rain. 

This warning was received by all disaster 

management personnel, by message 

on mobile phones as well as electronically 

on the e-mail. The disaster management 

personnel at district and local 

levels communicated the warning to the 

general public. 

Funds available for Asgisa projects in 

Eastern Cape 



Whether the Government has made any 

funds available for the projects of the 

Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative 

for South Africa (Asgisa) in the Eastern 

Cape; if not, why not; if so, for each 

project (a) what is the amount that has 

been made available in the Medium Term 

Expenditure Framework period, (b) what 

is the nature of the project, (c) what

QUESTIONS 


Transfer of left-hand drive vehicles 

1595. Mr J H VAN DER MERWE (IFP) 

asked the Minister of Transport: 

Whether it is his department’s intention to 

promulgate a regulation which will make 

it impossible to transfer left-hand drive 

vehicles to a beneficiary or new owner; if 

so, (a) when, (b) why and (c) what will the 

options be of owners of such vehicles if 

they cannot sell or trade it? NW2344E 

The MINISTER OF TRANSPORT: 

(a) Yes, such regulations are already in 

place dealing with the registration of 

left-hand driven motor vehicles. In 

terms of Regulation 200 of the National 

Road Traffic Regulations (NRTR), 

2000, under the National Road Traffic 

Act, Act 93 of 1996 (as amended), 

left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles imported 

into the Republic were allowed to be 

operated on a public road, provided that 

the vehicle was first registered prior to 

1 July 1999 for vehicles requiring a 

certification of roadworthiness or 

(b) 

1 January 2000 for other vehicles. The 

interpretation of this regulation varied 

and on 23 July 2004 it was amended to 

state that the vehicle should have been 

registered to the current owner’s name 

before 1 January 2000. 

The proposed ‘‘15th amendment’’ of 

the National Road Traffic Regulations 

is intended to deal with the LHD 

vehicles that are already within the 

system as provided for by the legislation 

and to facilitate the process in 

dealing with those motor vehicles that 

were registered before the 23 July 2004 

in terms of the provisions of the legislation. 

(c) The proposed amendment will enable 

the owners of LHD motor vehicles, 

which were registered in the Republic 

and in their names prior to the 23 July 

2004 amendment, to dispose of those 

motor vehicles and allow the new 

owners to register and licence such 

motor vehicles. 

Application for funding by Novalis 

Ubuntu Institute in Western Cape 

1602. Mrs J A SEMPLE (DA) asked the 


(1) Whether the National Lotteries 

Board (NLB) received an application 

in any of the past five financial years 

up to 31 July 2008 from the Novalis 

Ubuntu Institute in the Western 

(2) 

Cape; if so, in which financial years 

did they apply for funding; 

whether the NLB accepted the application; 

if not, what were the reasons 

for rejecting the application; if so, (a) 

how much was requested by the 

organisation in these financial years, 

(b) what amount was awarded by the 

NLB and (c) when was each amount 

paid by the NLB to the organisation; 

(3) whether there are any outstanding 

amounts owed to the organisation by 

the NLB; if so, how much? 

NW2351E 


TRY: 

(1) The NLB had received an application 

from Novalis Ubuntu Institute in the 

Western Cape in 2007. 

(2) (a) An amount of R500 000 was requested 

by Novalis Ubuntu Institute 

(b) The NLB approved the full 

amount of R500 000. 

(c) NLB paid the organisation

Call-centre to register investment 

applications 



Whether Trade and Investment South 

Africa (TISA) has established a callcentre 

to register and follow up all investment 

applications; if not, (a) why not and 

(b) when will it be set up; if so, (i) when 

was the centre established, (ii) how many 

applications have been registered and (c)

NW2359E 


TRY: 

TISA is currently setting up a ten-seater 

investment call centre to be staffed by people 

with disabilities using remote-based technology. 

The pilot will be rolled out by 

December 2008 and launch in the last 

quarter of 2008-09. 

Call-centres for SMEs 



(1) Whether his department has set up 

call-centres or incorporated this facility 

into existing call-centres for 

small and medium enterprises 

(SMEs) to register complaints when 

they have not been paid money owed 

to them from government procurement 

policies within 30 days; if not, 

why not; if so, (a) how many callcentres 

has this facility been incorporated, 

(b) how many complaints have 

been received from SMEs since the 

inception of these call-centres and 

(c) for each complaint that was 

received, (i) which SME registered 

the complaint, (ii) against which 

(2) 

government department is the complaint 

registered, (iii) what amount is 

outstanding and (iv) for how long 

has the amount been outstanding; 

whether this outstanding amount has 

been paid; if not, why not; if so what 

are the relevant details; 

(3) whether any action was taken against 

the relevant government department; 

if not, why not; if so, what are the 



TRY: 

A business case for such a call-centre was 

developed jointly by the dti and seda. The 

business case envisages the outsourcing of 

the function at this stage and its eventual 

incorporation into seda. The call-centre is 

not yet operational but the tender evaluation 

process has been concluded and recommendation 

for a suitable service provider/callcentre 

agent has been forwarded to the seda 

Tender Adjudication Committee for final 

approval leading to the appointment of the 

call-centre operator. 

It is anticipated the set-up phase will be 

completed by November 2008. 

Manganese terminal and tank farm in 

the PE harbour 



(1) Whether she has been informed of 

the findings and recommendations of 

a study into environmental and 

(2) 

health issues associated with the 

manganese terminal and tank farm in 

the Port Elizabeth harbour commissioned 

by a certain agency (name 

furnished) and undertaken by a certain 

company (name also furnished) 

in 2005; if not, what is the position in 

this regard; if so, 

whether she will make a statement 

on the matter? NW2394E


66 


PRISES: 

(1) No, I have not been informed of the 

findings as Transnet is still waiting for 

the copy of the study from the agency 

referred to. I, therefore, cannot make 

further comments on the matter until 

such report has been assessed. 

(2) No statement will be made about the 

matter. 

Future registration of LHD vehicles 

1663. Mr SBFARROW (DA) asked the 

Minister of Transport: 

(1) In light of the recent media report by 

his department’s spokesperson 

(2) 

(name furnished), what were the 

main factors taken into account in 

supporting the proposal that future 

registration of left-hand drive (LHD) 

vehicles would be discontinued in 

regulations due to be published; 

whether any records are available or 

studies conducted by his department 

to determine how many LHD vehicles 

have been involved in accidents 

in the country in the past ten 

years; if not, why not; if so, what do 

these statistics reveal; 

(3) whether his department has consulted 

widely with relevant stakeholders 

and owners of these cars to 

determine (a) the market value of 

these cars to collectors and retailers, 

(b) the constitutional right of owning 

these cars and (c) the implications of 

removing such registrations from the 

estate of the deceased owners; if not, 

why not in each case; if so, what are 

the relevant details in each case? 

NW2436E 


(1) The intention of the proposed regulation 

amendment is to clarify amendments 

that were effected to the National 

(2) 

Road Traffic Regulations after the initial 

dates that prohibited the registration 

of left-hand driven (LHD) motor vehicles. 

Furthermore, to also provide for 

the legislation that allows for the disposing 

of LHD motor vehicles already 

registered on the system in the owners’ 

names after the publication of the 

regulation that required that the said 

motor vehicles should be registered in 

the owners’ name. 

In terms of the number of head-on 

collisions that we have experienced on 

our roads, LHD motor vehicles are the 

ones mostly involved. LHD vehicles 

are considered a fatal risk on South 

African roads, particularly on single 

carriage roads where the visibility of 

oncoming traffic can be severely obscured 

to a driver of such a vehicle. The 

National and Provincial Departments 

of Transport have unanimously agreed, 

in the interest of road safety, to a 

systematic removal of such hazardous 

motor vehicles on South Africa’s roads. 

(3) (a) The Department of Transport has a 

forum, referred to as the Vehicle 

Technical Committee, comprising 

of all the relevant stakeholders and 

role-players within the transport 

fraternity that deals with any requirements 

relating to motor vehicles. 

(b) The constitutional right of owners 

of LHD motor vehicles does not 

exceed the constitutional rights to 

life as enshrined in the Bill of 

Rights. Furthermore, such right to 

property may be limited in terms 

of the limitation clauses as provided 

for in section 36(1) of the 

Constitution, in terms of a law of 

general application relating to the 

right to life and to a safe environment. 

(c) The Department of Transport is 

currently in the process of effect-


68 

ing legislation amendments that 

will ensure that those LHD motor 

vehicles that were registered and 

licensed in the Republic in terms 

of the provisions of the legislation 

are able to be disposed of. However, 

it must be noted that the 

amendment will only allow for the 

disposing of LHD vehicles already 

registered and licensed in 

the Republic in that person’s name 

before the prohibition on the registration 

of LHD motor vehicles 

was amended.

Gauteng 

(1) The department monitors waiting lists 

for Tertiary Services (Cardiac, Orthopedics, 

and spinal surgery) which are 

predominantly performed at four Central 

hospitals. Kalafong and Helen Joseph 

hospitals render some Tertiary 

Services even though they are regional 

hospitals. 

(a) Not applicable 

(b) Monthly reports of operations/ 

procedures that are performed by 

all hospitals are submitted to Head 

Office through the DHIS for collation 

and analysis. 

(i) — Orthopedic (Joint Replacement) 

Surgery (Major Surgery 

— Cardiac) 

— Ophthalmology (Cataract), 

and 

— Gynaecology (Elective procedures 

such as hysterectomy) 

(ii) See (i) above. 

(iii) Monthly. 

(2) This varies from time to time and also 

from one hospital to another, but on 

average the waiting period ranges from 

six weeks to eighteen months. 

Limpopo 

(1) Waiting lists are being monitored in 

order to guide service delivery strategy. 

(i) Five Surgery lists, three Urology 

lists, three neurosurgery lists per 

week. 

(ii) Most surgery lists are interrupted 

by Emergency Surgery which is

(ii) Lady with a breast lump 

Waits three-twelve Weeks for appointment

Mammography, four weeks for Histology, 

two months for Surgery = 

± eight-twelve weeks for surgery. 

Solutions: 

1. Increase the capacity of the radiology 

department. 

2. Install mammography and fluoroscopy 

equipment at other centres. 

3. Provide emergency theatres. 

4. Increase the capacity of the peripheral 

hospitals and reduce local load. 

5. Recruit surgeons for the provincial and 

regional hospitals. 

6. Improve team spirit and co-operation 

between departments.

7. Curb the staff exodus 

Northern Cape 

(1) Yes 

(i) Six 

(ii) All the waiting lists are for planned 

and elective surgeries only. All the 

urgent and life threatening operations 

are performed immediately and 

efficiently. 

— Orthopaedics (joint replacement 

surgeries) 

— Opthalmology (cataract surgery) 

— ENT 

— Urology 

— Elective surgery 

— Elective neuro-surgery 

(iii) The waiting lists are monitored on a 

weekly basis at the hospital level and 

submitted to the provincial department 

on a monthly basis. 

(2) The average waiting time for elective 

procedures is between one-three 

months. The patients are continuously 

followed-up during the wait time and if 

the clinical condition of the patients 

changes their surgeries are performed 

on the basis of emergency. 

Western Cape 

(1) The Western Cape Provincial Department 

of Health currently does not 

monitor waiting lists. 

(a) This is an issue that has been 

identified as requiring attention. 

Much of the discussions in the 

province regarding a single waiting 

list have for the first time been 

around equity to access of surgical 

procedures and exposed the often 

very different waiting times at 

different institutions. There are 

really two issues of concern here: 

emergency cases and elective 

cases. Each institution has its own 

method of booking these cases, 

and there is currently no way to 

track this. 

(b) We are currently engaged in a 

process to improve our information 

on our theatre activity, which 

is currently inadequate. The plans 

are to create a unified theatre data 

system and to capture the date that 

each procedure was first booked as 

a data point when each surgical 

case is done. Once we have this 

system in place we foresee that we 

would be able to say what the 

waiting times are for each type of 

surgical procedure, and be able to 

provide this by each individual 

institution. Currently we are exploring 

how to gather the data. 

This would allow for a detailed 

analysis of theatre activity and 

allow comparisons between institutions 

and also give the ability to 

assess what level of care is being 

delivered at each site of surgical 

activity. 

(i) With regards to the number of 

lists, each institution has different 

numbers of lists. As a 

(2) 

generalisation, all surgical disciplines 

have seen a tremendous 

decrease in the available lists, 

due to many factors, but mainly 

due to the availability of trained 

theatre staff. 

(ii) Emergency and elective surgery. 

In the Western Cape, access to emergency 

or urgent theatre is significantly 

reduced by several factors which includes 

lack of post-operative bed capacity, 

lack of theatre availability and/ 

or lack of theatre resources, namely 

staff and equipment. Emergency cases 

wait from one hour to four days for 

theatre time in the Western Cape. Each


82 

hospital has its own reasons, and these 

times vary during the week and the 

month. 

For elective surgery, the waiting lists 

again vary from two weeks through to 

ten years, depending on the procedure 

required, the budget, access to theatre 

etc. Again there is tremendous variation 

from institution to institution: an example 

is that for a total hip replacement 

at Groote Schuur, the waiting lists are 

currently closed, because there is more 

than a ten year wait. At Tygerberg, the 

waiting list is about four years for a 

total hip replacement. At Somerset the 

waiting list is about two years. For 

other procedures, like arthroscopic 

knee surgery, the wait is from six weeks 

at Victoria Hospital, to five years at 

Groote Schuur. Some hospitals no 

longer offer certain procedures because 

the trauma component is so high, and 

they no longer have the capacity.

North West 

(1) The North West Department of Health’s 

hospitals take part in a Continuous 

Quality Improvement Programme. This 

programme is led by the Department’s 

Quality Assurance Directorate, and 

supported by the Council for Health 

Services Accreditation for Southern Africa 

(COHSASA). The Programme 

started in 1997 with only a few hospitals 

and has been gradually extended so 

that it now includes all hospitals. 

COHSASA’s Programme is designed to 

assist hospitals to use quality improvement 

methods and ultimately achieve 

substantial compliance with standards 

that ensure hospitals have systems and 

processes in place required for safe, 

effective and efficient patient care. 

COHSASA provides training & skills 

transfer which will enable the Department’s 

Quality Assurance units at all 

levels to eventually run the whole 

programme on its own. COHSASA 

also performs external accreditation 

surveys. All hospitals are assessed on a 

regular basis throughout the year — 

this year hospitals will assess themselves 

every eight weeks, with 

COHSASA 

checks. 

performing validation 

(2) COHSASA’s programme and its standards 

are accredited by the International 

Society for Quality (ISQUA). 

The Cohsasa accreditation status is 

awarded at three levels — Entry Level 

(Pre-Accreditation), Intermediate level 

(Pre-Accreditation) and full accreditation. 

Any of these levels indicates that 

many of the systems required to ensure 

that the hospitals are safe, efficient and 

effective are in place. Full accreditation 

means that a facility substantially meets 

all of the standards required. An average 

score, in excess of 80, would 

indicate that the hospitals have implemented 

most of the systems required 

for safe, efficient and effective patient 

care, that were not in place at the start 

of the quality improvement pro- 

(3) 

gramme. 

By early 2003, the majority of hospitals 

in the North West province (23), had 

entered the COHSASA facilitated accreditation 

programme for the first 

time. Baseline surveys were completed 

by end 2003 and most of the hospitals 

scored less than 50 out of a possible 

100. 

The baseline survey includes a multidisciplinary 

assessment of all clinical 

support, technical, management, administration 

and hotel services using 

over 2 500 measurable elements. 

The score achieved indicated that the 

majority of hospitals were performing 

poorly and over the years, the province 

worked diligently to improve the situation 

despite severe resource constraints. 

It has established a Quality Assurance 

Unit to direct quality improvement 

initiatives, assisted by COHSASA. No 

hospitals needed to be closed down. 

By 2007, the majority of the hospitals’ 

progress scores had exceeded average 

standards compliance scores of 70 out 

of 100 that showed substantial improvement 

in all areas of the hospitals 

and indicated that the hospitals’ overall 

performance 

cantly. 

had improved signifi


94 

In the same year, nine hospitals underwent 

independent, external surveys 

conducted by COHSASA which 

showed that most of the hospitals had 

exceeded a score of 80/100 and two 

hospitals had exceeded a score of 90. 

Three hospitals have achieved full accreditation. 

Another eight hospitals are 

targeted for full accreditation by the 

end of 2008. 

Western Cape 

(1) (a) Yes, annual audits are conducted 

at each private health establishment 

registered or regarded as 

being registered with this department 

in terms of Provincial Notice 

(PN) 187 of June 2001 (as 

(b) 

amended), is subjected to at least 

an annual inspection as prescribed 

in Regulation 19 of PN 187. 

(i) For public hospitals or clinics 

the National Department of 

Health has developed a 

framework for the assessment 

of health establishments 

which is being 

(ii) 

initiated in June 2008. Audits 

of specific aspects are conducted, 

some of which are at 

institutions and some provincially 

initiated depending on 

specific needs. These audits 

cover aspects of clinical care 

such as clinical audits; clients 

satisfaction surveys audits of 

physical facilities such as 

cloakroom audits etc. Facilities 

have a set of service 

standards which are audited 

on a quarterly basis. 

As indicated above specific 

audits are conducted but an 

overall audit with specific 

norms and standards has not 

been conducted as the province 

was awaiting the devel- 

opment of an audit tool and 

norms and standards from the 

National Office of Standards 

Compliance as set out in the 

Health Act. This has now 

been initiated. 

(iii) The National Departments 

Assessment Document contains 

norms and standards. 

(iv) The National Assessment 

commences in June 2008. 

(aa) Private facilities are inspected 

by duly 

authorised inspecting 

officers, appointed by 

the Head of the Department 

in terms of Regulation 

19 of PN 187. 

Facility and province 

specific audits are conducted 

by 

multidisciplinary health 

care teams with the exception 

of the client satisfaction 

surveys which 

are conducted by external 

fieldworkers. 

(bb)All inspecting officers 

are professional nurses 

with qualifications in 

General Nursing, Community 

Health, Psychiatry 

and Midwifery. With 

the exception of the Client 

Satisfaction Surveys 

the auditors are registered 

with the appropriate 

Health Professions 

Council. 

(cc) For private health facilities 

— they are appointed 

as Inspecting 

Officers on a full-time 

basis. Each Inspecting 

Officer is responsible for 

a specific geographic 

area and thus inspects all


96 

establishments within 

that area. They are chosen 

based on their expertise. 

(dd) Inspecting Officers utilise 

the standards prescribed 

in PN 187 as 

well as a standard Inspection 

Tool, which incorporates 

standards of 

care, which is based on 

local and international 

standards. For public 

health facilities, the 

standard depends on the 

aspect being audited. 

The National Department 

Tool does however 

contain minimum 

norms and standards 

which is best responded 

to by the National Department. 

The Western 

Cape has however 

implemented the norms 

and standards for primary 

health care facilities 

as laid down by the 

National 

partment. 

Health De- 

(2) Yes. 


(b) See response in (1)(b)(iii)(dd) 

(c) 

above. Dependent on the aspect 

being audited. 

There may be minor changes as 

the Western Cape regulations are 

different to the rest of the country. 

We use PN 187 and they use 

Regulation 158 of February 1980 

as amended. A review of the National 

Norms and standards reflects 

that provincial standards are 

in line with national standards. 

(3) (a) and (b) 

(i) Most establishments do not pass the 

annual inspection without recommendations 

to remedy defects or 

noncompliance. With each type of 

audit specific recommendations will 

be made where weaknesses were 

detected. 

(ii) These defects or matters of noncompliance 

are normally not life 

threatening and almost in all cases 

relates to either structural defects or 

issues around quality assurance. 

Weaknesses relate mainly to physical 

infrastructure and are not life threatening. 

(iii) Depending on the nature of the 

defect or matter of noncompliance, 

they are either instructed to remedy it 

immediately or within two weeks. 

This depends upon the nature of the 

weakness. 

(iv) No private facilities have been 

closed down due to not complying 

with standards to date. No public 

facilities have been closed down to 

date. 

Child-headed households 

906. Mr L W GREYLING (ID) asked the 

Minister of Social Development: 

(1) Whether his department has ascertained 

or estimated how many orphaned 

families are headed by 

(2) 

teenagers as a result of the death of 

parents because of illness; if so, how 

many such orphaned families are 

living in each province; 

whether they are receiving any assistance 

from the state; if not, why not; if 

so, what are the relevant details; 

(3) (a) how does his department promote 

the rights of orphaned and vulnerable 

children through services of support 

that are available to child-headed 

household and (b) where are these


98 

rendered in each province and (c) by 

whom to (d) how many childheaded 

households? NW1596E 

The MINISTER OF SOCIAL DEVELOP- 

MENT: 

(1) DSD has not yet ascertained the number 

of orphaned families that are 

headed by teenagers as a result of the 

death of parents because of illness, 

however, hereunder follows the number 

of child-headed households (CHH) 

per provinces that received services 

within home-based care for the period 

April 2007-March 2008: 

Province Number of CHH 

Eastern Cape 610 

Free State 714 

Gauteng 4 828 

KwaZulu-Natal 12 381 

Limpopo 176 

Mpumalanga 2 951 

Northern Cape 93 

North West 1 623 

Western Cape 522 

Total 23 898 

(2) Yes, CHH including the families 

headed by teenagers as a result of death 

of parents because of illness do receive 

assistance from the state. The services 

rendered to them are guided by Child 

Care Act, Act 74 of 1983 as amended. 

Presently children in child-headed 

households (including orphaned families 

that are headed by teenagers) are 

regarded as children in need of care 

according to the Child Care Act, Act 74 

of 1983 as amended. After identifying 

each and every child-headed household, 

it is assessed by social workers 

who would then provide either statutory 

services or community based services. 

The type of service that needs to 

be rendered to the family will then be 

informed by the outcome of the assessment. 

Statutory services rendered to the 

CHH’s families are as follows: 

— Therapeutic counselling where the 

family members are motivated to 

learn and understand their individual 

and different situations; and 

also learn to live with it. 

— Alternative placement where children, 

who are keen to be removed 

and be placed in alternative care, 

that is foster care or residential 

care, are removed and be placed 

accordingly. Both foster care and 

residential placements are court 

ordered by the local magisterial 

court after the social worker has 

investigated the situation and recommended 

the suitable placement 

to the court. 

— Adult supervisory arrangement, 

where an adult in the nearby surrounding 

is identified to provide 

the family with parental care and 

guidance regularly. The adult supervisor 

is staying at her or his 

respective home, but keeps constant 

supervision to the family. 

This is an out of court settlement, 

but the social worker is expected 

to provide the overall supervision. 

— In situations where children are on 

their own without any adult supervision, 

the family is linked with 

the local home community-based 

care centres. 

— Poor relief in a form of food 

parcels (as a temporary intervention 

whilst the social worker is 

planning for a permanent intervention) 

is provided to childheaded 

households. 

Community-based care services are 

rendered in drop-in centres or home


100 

community-based care centres. The following 

services are renders in a drop-in 

centre: 

— Provision of meals 

— Assistance with home work, for 

those children that are attending 

school 

— Recreation in a form of sports 

— Linking the children with other 

resources that might improve their 

individual situation, for instance 

the Departments of Health, Education, 

Housing and so on 

—Counselling to the family 

The following services are rendered in 

home community-based care centres: 

— Care and support 

— Linking the children with other 

resources that might improve their 

individual situation, for instance 

the department of Health, Education, 

Housing, Home Affairs and 

so on. 

(3) 

The specific focus on CHH is outlined 

in section 137 of the Children’s Act, 

Act 38 of 2005. This will enable DSD 

to develop strategies specifically targeting 

CHHs. The services will then be 

uniform and consistent across provinces. 

Presently the services to CHHs 

are fragmented and not the same across 

the provinces. 

Yes, DSD promotes the rights of orphaned 

and vulnerable children, 

(a) Through services of support. This 

includes statutory services and 

community-based care services 

(b) 

render to the orphaned and vulnerable 

children. 

In the provinces the services are 

rendered at the social workers’ 

offices, drop in centres and home 

community-based care centres. 

(c) These services are rendered by 

social workers, community development 

workers and child, child 

and youth care workers and volunteers. 

(d) Presently there is no representative 

data on the number of CHH. 

The information in (1) is an estimated 

number. 

Currently provinces operate differently in 

rendering the services. The Children’s Act, 

Act 38 of 2005 as amended, section 137 is 

focusing specifically at addressing the needs 

of CHH. Furthermore, DSD is expected to 

develop the strategy for CHH, which will 

then inform a consistent and uniform approach 

to service delivery. The finalisation 

of the regulations to the Children’s Act will 

also assist in this regard.

package paid to the previous 

Company Secretary. In this regard 

the contract of employment was 

ended by mutual agreement between 

the NDA and the Company 

Secretary and the package represented 

the remaining period of his 

retirement. The decision to terminate 

was motivated by the recommendations 

from various legal and 

labour experts. 

In this regard the Board was advised 

that the relationship between 

the parties had deteriorated to the 

point where there was little chance 

of the re-established of the necessary 

trust and good faith for the 

execution of the mandate.

R4 142 747 billion for the 2007-08 financial 

year as captured in the 2007 ENE. An 

additional amount of R374 467 million was 

made available through the Budget Adjustment 

process. Thus the Agency’s allocation 

increased to R4 517 214 billion. 

In line with Government Priority of taking 

the services to the people and ensuring that 

the indigenous do not walk more than 20 

kilometres in order to access the services, the 

Agency procured 40 mobile trucks which 

cost more than R37 821 065,45. The maintenance 

and repairs R2 943 360, satellite 

dish (bandwidth) costs R29 040 960 and 

salaries for the truck drivers cost around R27 

million. (All for the period of two years.)


108 

Part of the overdraft is attributed to inadequate 

funding on grants handling fees, 

increase in the number of personnel (staff) 

and high litigation costs experienced in 

KwaZulu-Natal. 

In order for the Agency to operate optimally, 

it became necessary that the budget be 

aligned with the activities undertaken to give 

effect to its mandate. The effect was the 

deviation from the published ENE figures. In 

this regard a request for deviation was 

sought from the DSD and approval was 

granted. 

Irregular expenditure 

Irregular expenditures are as a result of the 

transactions for goods and services that did 

not satisfy the requirements of Internal 

Supply Chain Management processes. 

An amount of R25 834 000 was condoned 

by the Bid Committee and the CEO depending 

on the level of authority attached to the 

figure or processes. 

However an amount of R5 503 000 is awaiting 

condonation by the Bid Committee and 

the Financial Misconduct Board of the 

Agency. 

Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure 

Limpopo Region — Interests charged on the 

Trust Account amounting to R517 087,51. 

Explanatory Notes: — That contributed to 

the Trust Account incurring interests:— 

The Social Assistance Grants was previously 

administered by the provincial Department 

of Health and Social Development in the 

region as Programme 2. In 2005-06, the 

Programme was administered through National 

conditional grants and as such required 

the opening of the bank account 

which linked to what was called PMG 2 on 

BAS. The PMG 2 was a set of financial 

books where the transactions in relation to 

the grants money were reported. The Province 

was responsible for spending of this 

money however National Department of 

Social Development played an oversight 

role as it was preparing for the establishment 

of SASSA. 

During this period and before, the Provincial 

Department of Health and Social Development 

was not charged interest on overwithdrawal 

of the bank account as the 

Province, since the Provincial Treasury had 

an agreement with the bank ie ABSA. The 

reason for this could be that the Provincial 

Treasury was managing overall provincial 

accounts hence departmental accounts were 

not charged interest on over-withdrawn accounts 

or receive interest on positive accounts. 

The reasons for over-withdrawal of the bank 

account for the grants were caused by 

various factors which amongst others included 

the following: 

● Overspending in the previous financial 

years. 

● Over withdrawals by CPS which has 

now paid back an amount of 

R6,1 million after reconciliation were 

performed for 2006-07 year end. 

● Robberies occurred in the previous 

years which at 2006-07 year end 

amounted to R7 million being amount 

not recovered by the provincial department 

to date. 

● Handling fees that were charged in the 

Trust account from inception of the 

account until discovered in March 2007 

as SASSA was reconciling the account 

from the year 2003. 

● Delays in the flow of transfer of grants 

money. 

The factors alluded to in the paragraph 

above resulted in an amount of R517 087,51 

interests being charged against SASSA 

books and it is reflected as wasteful and 

fruitless expenditure. The detail of amount is 

as follows:

No, no wards were closed in 2007. 

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

Gauteng 

No hospital wards were closed during the 

period in question. 

Northern Cape: 

Yes 

(a) Due to a shortage of professional 

nurses and doctors two wards were 

closed down. 

(b) Alexander Bay Hospital in the 

(c) 

Namakwa District. 

27 beds. 

(d) Alexander Bay Hospital has become a 

CHC with six beds. The submission for 

the filling of three professional nurses 

posts has been approved and the department 

is also trying to recruit a doctor to 

service this facility. 

Western Cape 

A total of 90 ‘‘beds’’ were closed in the 

Western Cape during 2007. 

(a) The beds were closed due to financial 

pressure and in the face of this pressure 

the need to prioritise health services at 

the district level. 

(b) Groote Schuur and Tygerberg tertiary 

hospitals. 

(c) 30 beds at Tygerberg Hospital (TBH) 

and 60 beds at Groote Schuur Hospital 

(GSH). 

(d) Ten of the 60 beds closed at GSH were 

relocated to the Maitland Cottage 

Home which is also part of the Provincial 

Department of Health under the 

management of Red Cross Children’s 

Hospital. This was a complete relocation 

with the entire service shifting to 

Maitland Cottage (MC) in order to 

improve the very low occupancies that 

had been identified at MC 27 of the 60 

beds at GSH were private beds and 

private patients are admitted to the 

appropriate general ward at GSH. 

Private patients in TBH were easily 

absorbed into the second private ward. 

The services in the beds identified for 

closure were absorbed into adult general 

services. Although beds were 

closed, the patient outputs largely remained 

constant due to increased efficiencies. 

Strenuous efforts were made to obtain 

additional funding for the 2008-09 financial 

year and as a result the beds 

have been reopened albeit in a different 

configuration during 2008. 

Nurses qualifying

Minister of Health: 

(1) How many nurses qualified in each 

nursing category in (a) public and (b) 

private training facilities in each of 

the past three financial years for 

which information is available; 

(2) whether any quota applies to the 

number of nurses who can be trained 

by the public sector in each year; if 

so, (a) what quotas currently apply 

and (b) what are the reasons for these 

quotas; 

(3) whether any processes are under way 

to amend or remove these quotas; if 

not, what is the position in this 

regard; if so, what are the relevant

The Gauteng Department of Health has 

responded to the mandate to increase 

the number of nurses by committing 

itself to increase the intake of nurses by 

100% by the end of the current MTEF 

period. 

The intake of students is determined by 

need, capacity of the nursing colleges 

and clinical facilities and budget.


122 

The management of the institutions 

each determines the number of enrolled 

nursing auxiliaries, enrolled nurses, 

professional nurses and other categories 

of staff that can be released on 

study leave. The courses that can be 

followed while on study leave include 

the following:- the second year pupil 

nurse course, the bridging course, the 

four-year diploma course and all the 

post basic courses. 

The factors that determine the number 

of staff that can be released include the 

number of posts available once qualified 

and the minimum number of staff 

required to maintain a high level of care 

and service delivery. 

The SANC has also determined the 

number of bridging course students for 

each nursing college and for each 

clinical facility. This is to ensure that 

students do not overrun the facilities 

and cause discomfort to patients. It also 

ensures that there are adequate learning 

KwaZulu-Natal 

(1) The following table reflects the situation in this regard 

experiences for the nurses and that the 

quality of care is maintained. 

The same situation is relevant for the 

learner auxiliary and staff nurses 

(3) 

trained by private schools but who are 

allocated for their practical training in 

our institutions. 

The ratio of tutors to students has been 

set at 1:17 in an attempt to maintain a 

high quality of student-tutor contact 

and meaningful clinical accompaniment. 

Gauteng is in the process of re-opening 

Bonalesedi Nursing College which will 

enable us to further increase the intake 

of basic students. Coronation Nursing 

College is being reopened as the post 

basic school and will further enable the 

numbers of students to increase. 

As the student numbers have increased, 

so an appropriate number of tutor posts 

have been created to maintain the 1:17 

ratio.

enrolled nurses after 1994. 

(ii) Hospital schools in the Free State are 

not using training posts. They utilise 

vacant nursing assistant nurses posts 

for training that is funded by the 

Health and Welfare Seta and the Free 

State Departments share of the Skills 

Development funds. The number 

that gets trained depends on the 

available funds from the HWSeta. 

The number funded by HWSeta 

ranges between 50 and 150 depending 

on available funds and Skills 

Development funds 100 learners. 

(h) The department has taken the route of 

bursaries and not training posts anymore. 

The strategy to increase the 

numbers of students to be trained is that 

plans are underway to open two additional 

campuses at Thaba Nchu 

(100 enrolled nursing assistants and 

100 enrolled nurses) and at Kroonstad 

(400 for the four-year diploma students).

The students were on the staff establishment 

of the hospitals. 

In February 1994 — there were a total 

of 3 770 diploma students and 563 

degree students in training. 

(d) The Nursing Colleges were not amalgamated 

but the following were closed 

and the remaining students were transferred 

to the open colleges:— 

— Lebone, Coronation, BG Alexander 

and Bonalesedi Colleges. 

(e) These four Colleges had the last fouryear 

intake in 1997. Thereafter they had 

one less year group each year ie in 1998 

from 2nd to 4th year. They closed in 

2001 and failures were transferred to 

the remaining colleges.

January 2009. This facility will provide 

the capacity for an additional 200 

students. 

Coronation Nursing College is awaiting 

accreditation from the South African 

Nursing Council in the near future 

and will house the Chris Hani 

Baragwanath Nursing College postbasic 

school. These students were previously 

in a building not owned by the 

department. 

The students attending these courses 

are all on study leave from institutions 

and so there are no training posts, 

however between 400 and 500 students 

will be able to undergo training there 

annually. Both these Colleges will operate 

as Campuses of Chris Hani 

Baragwanath Nursing College. 

(h) To increase the student intakes by 

100% during the METF period (2005-

Prior to 2002, student nurses were 

granted posts while undertaking undergraduate 

studies. This anomaly was 

historical, and has subsequently been 

transformed to the bursary system. This 

has enabled the department to create 

greater access to formal education and 

training opportunities for HDI’s (Historically 

Disadvantaged Individuals). 

(g) (i) The department has not opened 

new training colleges for nurses, 

however, the plan is to open a 

satellite campus of the Western 

Cape College of Nursing in 

Boland Overberg region in

2009-10. APH Nursing College 

will commence the Diploma in 

Psychiatry in July 2008. 

The training posts were replaced 

by the introduction of a bursary 

system. Please refer to response in 

question (f) above. 

(h) The strategy is to increase the number 

of bursars based on service delivery 

needs and budget availability. 

Low rate of compliance to performance 

agreements 



(1) With reference to his department’s 

reply to Question 94 on 12 March 

2008 regarding the signing of performance 

agreements, what are the reasons 

for this low rate of compliance; 

(2) whether he has taken any action 

against senior managers who failed 

to sign performance agreements in 

each of these three years; if not, why 

not; if so, what action in each case; 

(3) whether he has taken any steps to 

ensure a greater compliance rate of 

senior managers; if not, why not; if 

so, what (a) steps and (b) are the 

reasons that these compliance rates 

still decreased over the past three 

years? NW2076E 


MENT: 

(1) DSD acknowledges that there has been 

a systematic problem towards the compliance 

of entering into performance 

contracts by some SMS members, for 

the following reasons: 

● In the past three years, the DSD 

establishment has grown significantly 

in the upper echelon with 20 

posts. Newly appointed SMS members 

are given three months period to 

complete and sign their performance 

agreement. 

● Due to the work demands of SMS 

members, more attention was paid to 

operational work to the extent that 

Human Resource Management functions 

are neglected. 

● This resulted in unintended negative 

consequences where SMS members 

do not conclude their performance 

agreement. 

● Climate survey has been conducted 

within the department with the specific 

focus on the performance management 

system. 

(2) Yes, action has been taken. 

● The Minister and Director-General 

have signed individual letters on 

28 August 2008 requesting them to 

finalise their performance agreement 

as a matter of urgency. 

● SMS members have been advised 

that failure to comply disciplinary 

action will be taken against them. 

(3) (a) Yes, various intervention have 

been taken to address this.


140 

● The department has introduced an 

intervention where a team from the 

Department’s Strategy Unit in collaboration 

with HRM has developed 

generic performance agreements for 

SMS members linked to the Strategic 

Plan. The intervention has worked 

well for 2008-09 reporting period 

90% response rate. 

● The implementation of the revised 

PMDS policy, where officials are 

expected to submit mid-term 

progress review report instead of four 

quarterly reports. 

(b) Referring to (1) above the growth 

and expansion of DSD came with its 

own internal challenges which is being 

assessed and monitored on a regular 

basis by Human Resources management. 

Employed social workers 



(1) In each province, (a) how many 

social workers are currently employed, 

(b) what is the current vacancy 

rate for social workers and (c) 

how many social workers are employed 

in violent-prone communities; 

(2) whether he has any plans in place to 

train and recruit more social workers; 

if not, why not; if so, what plans? 

NW2245E 


MENT: 

(1) Information received from the provincial 

departments of Social Development: 

Province (a) (b) (c) 

Northern Cape 160 33,3% 57 

Gauteng 701 21,3% 547

Mpumalanga 411 86% 113 

KwaZulu-Natal 681 62% 0 

(2) Yes, a Recruitment and Retention Strategy 

has been developed by the department 

to provide a framework for the 

recruitment and retention of more social 

workers within the profession and 

the country. 

The following are achievements linked 

to the implementation of the strategy: 

● The salaries of social workers were 

reviewed and regraded in 2004. 

● A partnership with the SABC was 

established in 2006 with a view to 

market the profession. The SABC 

career education and training is a 

well-established programme that offers 

employers an opportunity to 

market careers through direct communication 

with high school learners 

who are in Grade 11 and 12. Education 

and Career fairs have since then 

been conducted annually in all provinces 

in partnership with the SABC 

for the recruitment of learners to join 

the profession. 

— 1 428 learners were reached in 

nine provinces for the 2006-07 



nine provinces for the 2007-08 



four provinces during the 

2008-09 financial year. 

● In an attempt to address the shortage 

of Social Workers in the country, the 

National Department of Social Development 

initiated a Scholarship 

Programme in conjunction with the


142 

Provincial Departments. The first 

group of scholars were sponsored by 

the Health & Welfare Sector Education 

Training Authority (HWSETA) 

in 2006. Owing to limited funds from 

the HWSETA the department requested 

the National Treasury to set 

aside funds for this Programme. The 

National Treasury agreed to commit 

R50 million for 2007-08, R105 million 

for 2008-09 and R210 million 

for 2009-10. 

● In 2007, the department sponsored 

1 428 social work students. 

● In 2008 the department is sponsoring 

1 917 social work students. 

● The National Department of Social 

Development has established a forum 

to strengthen partnerships with all 

critical stakeholders responsible for 

the smooth running of the scholarship 

(Provincial Departments of Social 

Development, NSFAS, University 

Schools of Social Work and 

their Financial Aid Bureaus as well as 

beneficiaries). The department is 

continuously engaged with all stakeholders 

to check blockages that may 

emanate in disbursement of scholarship. 

● An Indaba was held in April 2006 and 

300 stakeholders were in attendance 

to facilitate the training of social 

workers by Institutions of Higher 

Learning and revisit the curriculum 

for their training. 

● The department participated and 

facilitated the hosting of the 34th 

biannual Congress of International 

Association of Schools of Social 

Work (IASSW) which was held in 

Durban from 20 July to 24 July 2008 

with the theme ‘‘Transcending Local- 

Global Divides’’. The key purpose of 

the congress was to debate the developed 

global standards for social work 

education and training which were 

adopted at the General Assemblies of 

the International Association of 

Schools of Social Work (IASSW) 

and the International Federation of 

Social Work (IFSW) in Adelaide in 

2004.

QUESTIONS 


Implementation of Public Works 

programmes 

1616. Mr S E OPPERMAN (DA) asked the 

Minister of Public Works: 

Whether any special Public Works 

programmes have been implemented as 

required by Apex Priority 9; if not, why 

not; if so, (a) what programmes, (b) where 

have they been introduced and (c) how 

many youths have been assisted by these 

programmes since its inception? 

NW2365E 

The MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS: 

(a), (b) and (c) Yes, the department has 

implemented Special Public Works 

Programmes through EPWP programme. 

Enterprise development occurs across all 

sectors of the EPWP, namely the infrastructure, 

social, environment and culture and 

economic sectors. 

Key objectives of EPWP enterprise development 

programmes across all sectors are: 

● The graduation of persons from the 

2nd to the 1st economy; 

● The provision of small business 

training; 

● The provision of markets, and 

● The provision of access to finance 

To date, 1 454 SMMEs have been created 

and supported by the EPWP, across all 

sectors, through the following programmes:

1. Vuk’uphile Programme in the Infrastructure 

Sector 

The programme develops labour-intensive 

contractors. The contractor company 

that is developed consists of the 

owner and two supervisors. The contractors 

receive training on business 

unit standards. The supervisors receive 

training on technical issues related to 

labour intensive construction. Both the 

contractors and supervisors receive a 

NQF Qualification. The Construction 

SETA paid for the training of the 

contractors and supervisors. To date, 

over 508 labour-intensive contracting 

companies have developed, across all 

nine provinces. NDPW has partnered 

with 22 municipalities, six provincial 

departments and two agencies in the 

creation and development of the 508 

labour-intensive civil works companies. 

Each of these public bodies (municipalities 

and provinces) has actively 

participated in the labour-intensive 

contractor development programmes. 

A major contribution from the public 

bodies is the provision of training 

projects that are executed by contractor 

companies. All companies are started 

from scratch. All stakeholders assist to 

identify persons through an open selection 

process.

Each of companies developed through the 

programme will be Cipro registered companies; 

will either exit the programme at level 

3, 4 or 5 on the CIDB register in terms of 

civil works; would have executed work for 

government in terms of the construction of 

pavements, low-volume roads, etc. All companies 

receive mentor support on business 

and technical matters when executing training 

projects. The turnover, per company 

varies from R1-3 million, over the duration 

of the programme. All companies would 

have received access to finance through 

ABSA. Some of the companies’ access asset 

finance through ABSA. 

2. New venture creation learnership in 

economic sector 

This programme is similar to the 

Vuk’uphile Programme. However, 

the programme focuses strongly on the 

development of the SMME owner. 

A large focus of the programme has 

been the development of building contractors. 

Generally building is labourintensive 

by its very nature and 

therefore the programme focuses on 

ensuring job creation through creating 

sustainable small businesses. 

The programme selects individuals 

through a series of open selection 

procedures, for example, newspaper 

advertisements, public briefing sessions, 

written assessments and interviews. 

All individuals are required to 

register a new close corporation. All 

individuals undergo a New Venture 

Creation Learnership at either NQF


148 

Level 2 or 4, irrespective of the type of 

company that is created. The sector is 

able to create SMMEs in all industrial 

sector classifications, however, the 

EPWP Economic sector focuses on 

businesses where government procures 

large quantities (volume and value). 

To date, 310 companies have been 

created through the New Venture Creation 

Learnership Programme. 

The New Venture Creation Learnership 

Programme ensures that: 

● All SMMEs are CIPRO registered 

● All SMMEs are VAT and UYF registered; 

● All SMMEs have access to finance 

through ABSA; 

● All SMMEs receive projects from 

government that assists them to develop 

a track record; 

● All SMMEs receive mentor assistance. 

The programme is also innovative in 

that it introduces quarterly assessments 

of the contractors. Contractors are 

ranked according to set-criteria (technical, 

administrative, financial, health 

and safety categories) and the level of 

engagements with the contractors is 

determined by this ranking.

EPWP Economic Sector is partnering 

with a number of Government Departments 

and Programmes on the development 

of co-operatives. EPWP contributes 

to the development of cooperatives 

through the provision of 

accredited business skills training. 

EPWP is currently registering new 

courses on the Department of Labour 

Skills Catalogue that will be available 

for the support of co-operatives. To 

date, EPWP has collaborated with 

LIBSA in Limpopo Province on the 

development of ten co-operatives, from

4. Environment and Culture Sector: 

DWAF Contractor Development 

The Working for Water Programme 

focuses on the clearing of Invasive 

Alien plants, particularly in stressed 

water catchments on both private and 

public land. Thus far in the 2007-08 

financial year, the programme has supported 

636 emerging contractors. The 

programme is mainly implemented by 

Regional Directorates within the Department 

of Water Affairs and Forestry. 

Where the capacity for implementation 

is inadequate, DWAF uses the services 

Implementing Agents (IAs). All IAs are 

state institutions. The three large IAs 

are the Independent Development Trust 

(IDT), who operate in most regions as 

well as on Department of Defence land 

through empowering of military veterans, 

and South African National Parks, 

who in their parks and Western Cape 

Nature Conservation Board (CNC) 

who work on their reserves in the Cape 

Floristic Kingdom. 

Working for Water operates within 

quaternary catchments. In principle, 

each quaternary catchment constitutes 

one project area. In total, there are 315 

projects in the country. Each project has 

an assigned project manager that is 

responsible to manage five to 15 teams. 

Each of these teams are business entities, 

consisting of a contractor with 

workers. The workers of the contractors 

are identified from communities within 

the catchments area. Furthermore, a 

project advisory committee is established 

that identifies potential contractors 

for the project. The recruitment and 

selection is then concluded by Working 

for Water. 

Each emerging contractor is then responsible 

for team which typically consists 

of chainsaw operators, herbicide 

applicators, general workers, first aid 

persons, HIV/Aids peer educators and 

health and safety officer. The contractors 

are awarded tenders that range in 

value from R30 000 to R150 000. Ideally, 

each tender (block of work) lasts 

for 20 days. 

DWAF has developed a Contractor 

Development programme that consists 

of three phases. Generally each phase 

consists of ten days of training.

from the Provinces. 

FREE STATE 

(a) — There were three state nursing 

colleges. 

— There were no private nursing 

colleges then. 

(b) — Two (2) nursing colleges were 

situated in Bloemfontein. One 

nursing college had a sub-campus 

in Kroonstad and the other had a 

sub-campus in Welkom. 

— The third nursing college was 

located in Qwa-Qwa. 

(c) — The two nursing colleges in 

Bloemfontein had 400 training 

posts each = 800. 

— The nursing college in Qwa-Qwa 

had 120 training posts. 

(d) The three colleges became one college 

with three campuses one situated in 

Bloemfontein, another in Qwa-Qwa 

and the third one in Welkom. 

(e) The Provincial Act that amalgamated 

the three colleges was promulgated in 

1998. The amalgamation processes 

(f) 

commenced in 1999 and was completed 

in 2000. 

The amalgamated college was accredited 

to train 1 112 students and training 

posts were distributed as follows: 

● Bloemfontein campus had 578 training 

posts 

● Qwa-Qwa campus had 180 training 

posts 

● Welkom campus had 354 training 

posts 

(g) (i) Hospital Nursing Schools had 

continued to train nursing assis- 

tant 

1994. 

and enrolled nurses after 

(ii) Hospitals Schools in the Free State 

are not using training posts. They 

utilise vacant nursing assistant 

nurses posts for training that is 

funded by the Health and Welfare 

Seta and the Free State Departments 

share of the Skills Development 

funds. The number that gets 

trained depends on the available 

funds from the HWSeta. The number 

funded by HWSeta ranges 

between 50 and 150 depending on 

available funds and Skills Development 

funds 100 learners. 

(h) The department has taken the route of 

bursaries and not training posts anymore. 

The strategy to increase the 

numbers of students to be trained is that 

plans are underway to open two additional 

campuses at Thaba Nchu (100 

enrolled nursing assistants and 100 

enrolled nurses) and at Kroonstad (400 

for the four year diploma students).

(c) 

S G Lourens Nursing College — in 

Central Pretoria 

At that stage there were no student 

nurse posts at the Nursing Colleges. 

The students were on the staff establishment 

of the hospitals. 

In February 1994 — there were a total 

of 3 770 diploma students and 563 

degree students in training. 

(d) The Nursing Colleges were not amalgamated 

but the following were closed 

and the remaining students were transferred 

to the open colleges:— 

— Lebone, Coronation, B G Alexander 

and Bonalesedi Colleges. 

(e) These four colleges had the last four 

year intake in 1997. Thereafter they had 

one less year group each year i e in 

1998 from 2nd to 4th year. They closed 

in 2001 and failures were transferred to 

the remaining colleges. 

(f) The number of diploma students in 

training in 2001 were as follows:— 

Ann Latsky Nursing College — 495 

Chris Hani Baragwanath Nursing College 

— 451 

S G Lourens Nursing College — 414 

Total — 1360 Ga-Rankuwa Nursing 

College trained only enrolled nurses 

and post-basic students 

The degree students totaled 410 and 

remained on the staff establishment of 

the hospitals. 

(g) Plans are at an advanced stage reopen 

Bonalesedi Nursing College in January 

2009. This facility will provide the 

capacity for an additional 200 students. 

Coronation Nursing College is awaiting 

accreditation from the South African 

Nursing Council in the near future 

and will house the Chris Hani 

Baragwanath Nursing College postbasic 

school. These students were previously 

in a building not owned by the 

department. 

The students attending these courses 

are all on study leave from institutions 

and so there are no training posts, 

however between 400 and 500 students 

will be able to undergo training there 

annually. Both these Colleges will operate 

as Campuses of Chris Hani 

(h) 

Baragwanath Nursing College. 

To increase the student intakes by 

100% during the METF period (2005- 

09). In 2009 the intake of students will 

have increased to 1 520.

capability 


capability 

(1) (b) As part of both Project SITRON 

(frigates) and Project WILLS 

(Submarines), it was decided to 

conduct a series of relatively small 

upgrades during normal scheduled 

maintenance periods, once the 

vessels were in South Africa. This 

would add to the local content of 

the vessels and obviously reduce 

the overall cost of the projects. It 

would also assist in the security 

classification of the actual operational 

capabilities of the two types 

of vessels (in-house contractual 

work versus outsourced via the 

vessels’manufacturers). These upgrades 

were planned activities 

and, as such, fall under the overall 

project costs. 

Frigates. The frigates have had a small 

addition to its accommodation facilities 

to allow for more trainees/additional 

personnel to be carried on board. In 

addition, a helicopter control radar has 

been added as part of the plan to 

integrate the Super Lynx helicopters 

acquired under Project MAULSTIC. 

This plan also added certain electrical 

power points additionally required to 

maintain the helicopter in the frigates’ 

hangers. Planned software upgrades on 

combat suites have taken place in order 

for all frigates to remain under the same 

baseline. The lessons learnt from the 

deployment of the SAS AMATOLA to 

the UK to conduct a NATO inspection 

have led to a number of small damage 

control issues being addressed. All of 

these upgrades will have been completed 

by the end of this financial year 

except for the addition of a remotelycontrolled 

close-in weapon system 

(South African manufactured and to be 

completed by end 2009). 

Submarines. This project was a ‘‘turnkey’’ 

project producing operational 

submarines from the outset. No significant 

upgrades are envisaged except for 

the normal software improvements to 

existing equipment. However, certain 

technical tests have been conducted to 

ensure that the boats comply with 

international obligations (these are the 

first submarines in the world to have 

been inspected as a class by the Germanisher 

Lloyd ship classification 

organisation). In addition, the boats 

have been fitted for integration with 

international rescue submersibles as 

per the project plan. 

(1) (c) Maintenance in the SA Navy is 

planned and executed in various 

periodicities, ranging from daily, 

weekly, monthly, four-monthly, 

annually, etc. The most significant 

of these are the four-monthlymaintenance 

events which are 

thus used as the basis for measurement 

of maintenance status. 

Maintenance returns are due three 

times a year, namely end of January, 

end of May and end of September. 

Due to operational com-


164 

mitments it is not always possible 

to complete all four-monthly 

maintenance commitments by 

these due dates. To this end the SA 

Navy has planned, staggered upkeep 

periods, and called Assisted 

Maintenance Periods, to assist 

vessels to catch up with fourmonthly 

maintenance. 

The maintenance status for the 

period February to May 2008 for 

frigates and submarines combined 

reflects that the maintenance is 

behind schedule. During this period 

20% of the corrective and 

planned maintenance actions were 

beyond the capability and capacity 

of the ships’ crews. These tasks 

were carried out by the Fleet 

Maintenance Unit, the dockyard 

and industry. 

Two frigates and two submarines 

have undergone planned Assisted 

Maintenance Periods since the end 

of May to assist the vessels to 

catch up with the outstanding 

maintenance. One Frigate is completing 

a planned Docking and 

Essential Defects maintenance period 

at present. 

The SA Navy experiences challenges 

in terms of resource limitations 

to perform maintenance and 

repair. The combination of the 

factors listed below creates an 

environment whereby keeping 

maintenance and repair on schedule 

becomes very challenging for 

the SA Navy: 

(i) The loss of trained technical 

personnel from vessels and ashore 

maintenance facilities (lured 

by much higher salaries 

outside of the SANDF) has a 

major influence on keeping to 

schedule with planned maintenance 

and repair. 

(ii) As a result of the capacity loss 

mentioned above, more work 

has to be outsourced to industry. 

In many instances industry also 

has a capacity problem to cope 

with varying SA Navy requirements, 

adversely affecting the 

SA Navy’s maintenance and repair 

schedule. 

(iii) Due to resource limitations, the 

SA Navy relies on spares procurement 

to be reactive in nature, 

having a negative in- 

(2) 

fluence on scheduled maintenance 

activities. Financial constraints 

have required the SA 

Navy to acquire spares judiciously. 

The long lead times 

associated with the procurement 

of military and specialised 

equipment exacerbates the coordination 

and scheduling of 

maintenance activities. 

Yes, the SA Army plans to acquire 

further equipment within the next five 

years. This acquisition will be driven 

by the current SA Army Armament 

Acquisition Projects and will be according 

to the time lines set in the SA 

Army Strategic Capital Acquisition 

(3) 

Master Plan (SCAMP). 

SA Navy 

Yes. The plans to purchase further 

maritime defence-related equipment include 

the following: 

● Project BIRO — The replacement of 

the SA Navy patrol capability (inshore 

and offshore patrol vessels 

linked to Project MAPANTSULA). 

● Project HOTEL — The replacement 

of the hydrographic survey vessel. 

● Project REVIVE — The replacement 

of the demolitions and ordinance 

disposal capability.


166 

● Project MAPANTSULA — The renewal 

of the mine warfare capability. 

SA Army 

The equipment to be acquired for Landward 

Defence will be purchased with funds currently 

allocated to the SA Army SCAMP. 

SA Air Force 

(a) (i) Agusta Helicopters: The aircraft is 

still under the project status (Operational 

Tests and Evaluation phase) 

and cleared for limited operational 

use. 24 of the 30 aircraft have been 

delivered. Handover of the system to 

the SAAF for full steady state operations 

is middle 2010. 

(ii) Gripens: The aircraft is still under the 

project phase and not yet operational 

under the SAAF. The project is still 

early in the commissioning phase. 

The first aircraft for use at 2 Squadron 

arrived in the RSA in March 

2008 and the next two aircraft arrived 

in Cape Town on Tuesday 

12 August 2008. Flying training is 

only planned to start in October 2008 

and the first basic operational capability 

will be established by the end 

of 2009. 

(iii) Hawks: 23 of the 24 Hawk lead-in 

fighter trainer aircraft have been 

delivered. The project is still in the 

commissioning phase. The initial 

cadre of instructors has been trained 

and the first Operational Training 

Course has been started. Handover 

of the system to the SAAF for steady 

state operations is expected by January 

2009. 

(b) (i) Agusta Helicopters: During 2007 the 

fleet underwent a software update for 

optimal utilisation. All aircraft delivered 

during that period or thereafter 

was on the upgraded status. New 

lay-up is planned for next year to get 

all aircraft on the same configuration 

status eg all fitted with floatation 

brackets to ensure shorter turnaround 

time. 

(ii) Gripens: The only planned updates at 

this time will be software updates 

under the obsolescence management 

plan. Currently the aircraft is still 

under trial and acceptance phases. 

The said processes are within the 

Defence Acquisition domain as part 

of the project phase. 

(iii) Hawks: In terms of the phased release 

of the avionics operational 

capabilities, the Hawk system is currently 

undergoing the Operational 

Capability three software upgrade. 

This upgrade is planned to be completed 

by October 2008. 

(c) (i) Agusta Helicopters: Presently 90% 

of aircraft spares and ground support 

equipment have been delivered. The 

remaining 10% not delivered is 

mainly due to modifications and or 

software upgrades. Project Flange 

Office must still deliver ± RM40 

spares and equipment. Maintenance 

and Repair support contracts have 

been put in place and the steady state 

maintenance and support user requirement 

statements are currently 

being drafted. 

(ii) Gripens: Currently in the SAAF no 

record of repairs and maintenance is 

available since the aircraft is still 

under trial and acceptance processes. 

The said processes are within the 

Defence Acquisition domain as part 

of the project phase.


168 

(iii) Hawks: Final deliveries of spares 

and ground support equipment 

(GSE) and test equipment (TE) are 

still in progress and deeper level 

maintenance capabilities are being 

established. Interim support contracts 

have been put in place and the 

steady state maintenance and support 

contracts are currently being negotiated. 

The SAAF within the air transport environment 

is expecting to receive a new A400M 

Strategic Air Lift fleet within and beyond the 

period of five years. At the moment the 

aircraft is at different stages of project phase. 

There is no planned procurement within the 

Air Defence domain at present save for the 

known Strategic Defence Packages (SDPs) 

that are currently being phased in and others 

still within the trial and acceptance phases.

Maintenance done on Daphne 

submarines 



Minister of Defence: 

Whether any maintenance and or upgrading 

work was done on the older Daphne 

submarines prior to the acquisition of the 

three submarines purchased as part of the 

Strategic Defence Package; if not, why 

not; if so, (a) on what dates, (b) at what 

cost, (c) what was the nature of the work 

and (d) what was the work done? 

NW2129E 

Yes. 

(a) The SA Navy operated the DAPHNE 

Class submarines from 1969 until 

finally decommissioning the last 

DAPHNE Class submarine (SAS 

ASSEGAAI) on 28 November 2003, a 

total period of 34 years. The three 

DAPHNE Class submarines were operated 

with one of the submarines in refit 

and the other two submarines in an 

operational cycle at most times. This 

operation was maintained throughout


176 

the life cycle of the submarines in order 

to ensure the continued safety and 

operational availability of the two submarines 

in the operational cycle. In 

addition to the ongoing refits, the two 

submarines in the operational cycle 

were continuously maintained in a tenweek 

cycle normally consisting of 

seven weeks of operational availability 

and three weeks of maintenance period. 

There were two major upgrades undertaken 

on the DAPHNE Class submarines. 

The first major upgrade was 

Project RACKET (later renamed 

Project RAKA). Project RAKA was a 

half-life modernisation programme for 

the DAPHNE Class submarines that 

included new main batteries for all 

three submarines and a locally-developed 

combat suite. Project RAKA ran 

for a period of ten years from 1980 to 

1990. None of the other major equipment 

such as the diesel engines, main 

motors, compressors or bilge pumps 

were upgraded during Project RAKA. 

On completion of Project RAKA in 

1990, it was recognised that the requirement 

existed for the DAPHNE 

Class submarines to remain operational 

until at least 2005 owing to the unlikelihood 

of the SA Navy being able to 

acquire new submarines before then. A 

life extension programme for the 

DAPHNE Class submarines was thus 

embarked upon on 31 January 1991 

with the acceptance of the User Requirement 

Specification and Staff Target 

documentation. This life extension 

programme was named Project 

FANTAIL and included a second upgrade 

of the combat suite (Project 

NICKLES), an upgrade of the combat 

system simulator (PROJECT DORTS), 

the establishment of a new torpedo 

maintenance facility (Project FAME) 

and the acquisition of a new torpedo 

(Project VELVET). Regrettably, owing 

to budget cuts in the originally planned 

Project, essential upgrades to the remainder 

of the submarines’ major 

(b) 

equipments were not undertaken. 

Project FANTAIL was finally completed 

with the completion of Sea 

Acceptance Trials on board SAS 

(c) 

ASSEGAAI on 31 May 2002 at a total 

cost of RB1,158. Only two of the 

DAPHNE Class submarines were fitted 

with the new combat suite owing to the 

impending acquisition of the new Type 

209 submarines. The torpedo maintenance 

facility and torpedoes acquired 

under Project FANTAIL are compatible 

with the Type 209 submarines and are 

consequently still in service.

[Projects established by DIP 

programme 

1399. Mr P J GROENEWALD (FF Plus) 

asked the Minister of Defence: 

(1) (a) Which projects were to have been 

established by a certain company 

(name furnished) in respect of the 

Defence Industrial Participation 

(2) 

(DIP) programme, (b) how many job 

opportunities were to have been created 

by each project, (c) which of 

these projects are still in operation, 

(d) how many job opportunities have 

been created by the current projects 

and (e) why do some of the projects 

no longer exist; 

whether he will make a statement on 

the matter? NW2143E] 


Background: 

It is important to realise that DIP and NIP are 

two separate Industrial Participation programmes, 

managed by Armscor on behalf of 

the Department of Defence and the Department 

of Trade and Industry respectively. The 

programmes have different objectives and 

each has its own requirements, management 

processes and systems. 

MAN Ferrostaal (MF) is part of the German 

Submarine Consortium, which collectively 

was responsible for discharging the DIP 

obligation of h175m. In its capacity as a 

member of the consortium, MF was only 

responsible for discharging a portion 

(h50,6m) of the total obligation. 

(1) (a) The aim of DIP is not to establish 

new projects in the same sense that 

the dti would expect its obligors to 

do so under the NIP Programme. 

The main objective is to support the 

existing Defence-related Industry 

DRI through establishing additional 

capabilities and promoting export 

sales of South African systems and 

products. MF’s intended business 

was therefore not registered as projects, 

but as activities to be completed 

within the prescribed 

obligation period. MF has successfully 

discharged its obligation of 

h50,583,373, by securing mostly 

export sales for the companies as 

indicated below:

5,600,369 

TOTAL: 50,583,373 

(b) This information is not available under 

the DIP Programme as it was not 

expected of MF to provide it in advance. 

As stated in Armscor DIP Policy, 

the objective under the DIP Programme 

regarding jobs was mainly the retention 

of skills and abilities within the Defence-related 

Industry (DRI). To this 

end the foreign contractors, ie MF, 

were contractually obliged to generate 

additional work within DRI companies 

through exports, the contention being 

that additional work would sustain jobs 

in the DRI and in some instances also 

lead to the creation of new jobs. The 

DIP process is therefore aimed at mea-


180 

suring the actual value of these exports 

and then granting credits on-to-one 

basis. 

(c) MF has successfully discharged its full 

obligation through directly or indirectly 

causing sufficient activities at SA Companies. 

The activities mentioned above 

represent the full scope of what MF did 

under its obligation. The nature of the 

DIP Programme is such that once the 

obligation is discharged, MF is not 

required to be involved with the companies 

any further. The DIP programme 

provides a window of opportunity, in 

this case seven years, to the DRI to 

become competitive in international 

markets, which it is expected, will 

extend beyond the obligation period. 

(d) Based on information received from the 

beneficiary companies, only the manhours 

involved with the activities can 

be quantified as follows: 

(1) No. 

● Truvelo: 14,772 

● Denel Optronics: 212,119 

● Fuchs Electronics: 129,000 

● Denel OTR: 106,555 

● Denel Munitions: 39,376 

Koste van wapenaankope 


vra die Minister van Verdediging: 

(1) (a) Wat die aanvanklike projeksie 

was ten opsigte van die bedrag wat 

die totale wapenaankope by finale 

lewering sou kos, (b) wat die totale 

wapenaankope tot op hede gekos het, 

(c) watter aankope tot op hede 

uitstaande is en (d) wat die geprojekteerde 

koste vir die voltooiing van 

die totale program is; 

(2) of hy ’n verklaring oor die aangeleentheid 

sal doen?

[Cost of arms acquisition 


asked the Minister of Defence: 

(1) What (a) was the initial projection in 

respect of the sum which the total 

arms acquisition would amount to at 

final delivery, (b) does the total arms 

acquisition amount to up to now, (c) 

acquisitions to date remain outstanding 

and (d) are the projected costs for 

the finalisation of the complete 

(2) 

programme; 


the matter? 

NW2144E] 


(1) (a) The contract value for the Strategic 

Defence Package programme 

at the time of contracting 

(b) 

amounted to R30,049 billion (in 

1998 rand value). During 2000, at 

the commencement date, it was 

reported to Cabinet that the projection 

in respect of the sum, 

which the total arms acquisition 

would amount to until completion 

of all contractual commitments, 

was R43,828 billion, based on a 

projection of the fluctuations in 

rate of exchange at the time. 

To date, R36,114 billion has been 

spent on the Strategic Arms Acquisition 

programme. 

(c) The 2008 projection of the outstanding 

amount until completion 

of the entire SDP programme is 

R11,411 billion. Programmes that


182 

are not completed yet are the 

ALFA (Gripen aircraft), LIFT 

(Hawk aircraft) and LUH (Agusta 

A109 helicopters) programmes. 

The submarines and corvette 

programmes are for all intents and 

purposes complete except for 

(d) 

some outstanding funding commitments 

liable on logistics. 

The 2008 projection for the total 

cost to completion of the SDP 

programme is R47,525 billion. 

(2) No. 

Delivery of new submarine 



(1) Whether the new submarine, the 

SAS Manthatisi that was delivered to 

South Africa in 2006 is operational; 

if not, (a) what (i) are the problems 

being encountered and (ii) when did 

they first occur; 

(2) whether any steps and or interventions 

are being taken to rectify the 

relevant faults; if not, why not; if so, 

(a) at what cost and (b) who is paying 

the cost; 

(3) whether he will make a statement on 

the matter? NW2149E 


(1) Yes. (a) SAS Manthatisi is currently in 

a scheduled extended maintenance period. 

The three submarines are used in 

an operational cycle that allows an 

opportunity for each to undergo a maintenance 

cycle whilst retaining the other 

two in an operational condition. 

(2) SAS Manthatisi is technically sound 

and the systems on board have been 

preserved so that the submarine can be 

returned to operational service at short 

notice, should such a requirement exist. 

(3) No. 

Pilots for new aeroplanes 

1415. Mr M H HOOSEN (ID) asked the 


(1) Whether the SA Air Force has 

trained pilots and engineering back 

up staff to ensure that all its 

(2) 

aeroplanes recently delivered are 

fully operational; if not, (a) in what 

areas and (b) to what extent, are the 

shortages; 

whether he has taken any steps to 

rectify the shortages; if not, what is 


are the relevant details? 


NW2154E 

(1) Yes. The SA Air Force does not have 

enough trained pilots and technicians to 

ensure that all its aircraft, and particularly 

the Strategic Defence Package 

aircraft, are fully operational. While all 

specialist aviation musterings have 

been hard-hit by the high exodus rate, it 

is in the environment of the pilots, 

flight engineers and technicians where 

there are the greatest shortages. The 

situation is aggravated by the fact that 

many of the remaining personnel have 

very little practical experience, thereby 

creating a false impression of the real 

situation. The following table is a 

summary of the various critical capability 

areas as a percentage: 

Ser Capability Pilots Flight 

Engineers 

Technicians 

1 Fighters 38% N/A 61% 

2 Helicopters 72% 64% 68% 

3 Transport 68% 25% 59% 

(2) Yes. However, it is generally recognised 

that the international shortage of 

aviation specialists plays a major role 

in the loss of such personnel and the


184 

SANDF is not in a good position to 

retain the services of these personnel. 

Not only are the salary packages not 

competitive, many of the service benefits 

have been seriously eroded and the 

SA Air Force is finding it increasingly 

difficult to generate sufficient flying, 

which is normally a strong motivator. 

While specialist allowances have been 

introduced, bureaucratic delays in updating 

them very often prevent them 

from staying relevant. The new remuneration 

package, which would 

recognise specialists, is only likely to 

be introduced in two years time. A very 

important service benefit such as medical 

has been seriously compromised by 

the chronic underfunding of the SA 

Military Health Service and a major 

shortage of medical practitioners. Another 

very important service benefit is 

military housing, which is needed to 

cater for the regular geographic movement 

of military personnel. Not only 

has this benefit been exposed to fringe 

benefit taxation, but there is also insufficient 

housing and its quality has been 

compromised by the under funding of 

maintenance. Unfortunately most of the 

requests for essential additional funding 

to National Treasury have not been 

favourably received, preventing the 

SANDF from becoming an employer of 

choice. 

Strategic Defence Procurement Package: 

details 



(1) (a) What is the (i) commencement 

date and (ii) termination date for 

each of the supplier contracts for the 

Strategic Defence Procurement 

Package, (b) what was the final rand 

value of each item for each contract 

and (c) in which currency was the 

payment for each contract made; 

(2) whether any interest was paid in 

respect of each of the contracts; if 

not, why not; if so, what are the 

relevant details for each contract; 

(3) whether there was any difference 

between the original amounts agreed 

to and what was finally paid over in 

respect of each contract; if so, (a) 

what was the difference in rand and 

(b) what were the reasons for the 

difference in respect of each contract; 

(4) (a) what total amount in rand and 

US) dollars of interest has been paid 

as at the date of the last payment due, 

(b) what has been paid off against the 

capital amount, (c) what amounts are 

outstanding and (d) what are (i) 

payment due dates and (ii) payments, 

as at the latest date for which information 

is available? 


NW2215E 

(1) (a) (i) The commencement date of the 

contracts for the Corvettes, 

Submarines, Light Utility Helicopters, 

Hawk Trainer Aircraft 

and Gripen Fighter Aircraft was 

April 2000. 

(ii) The termination dates for each 

of the respective supplier contracts 

are as follows: 

Corvettes: March 2011 

Submarines: March 2012 

Light Utility Helicopters: 

December 2011 

Hawk Trainer Aircraft: 

March 2011 

Gripen Fighter Aircraft: 

March 2011 

(b) The final rand value paid on each 

of the contracts cannot be determined 

yet, as none of the contracts 

have been finalised and are all


186 

dependent on Rate of Exchange 

variations. The total projected outstanding 

amount for the entire 

SDP programme, as at April 2008, 

amounts to R11,411 billion. This 

projection is based on projected 

exchange rates reigning at 1 April 

2008 for the outstanding period. 

(c) 

The payments are made in the 

following currencies: 

Corvettes: ZAR and EURO 

Submarines: ZAR and EURO 

Light Utility Helicopters: ZAR 

and US DOLLARS (USD) 

Hawk Trainer Aircraft: ZAR and 

GBP 

Gripen Fighter Aircraft: ZAR, US 

DOLLARS, GBP and SWEDISH 

KRONA (SEK) 

(2) Yes. Interest is payable on the ECA 

Loan agreements that were negotiated 

by National Treasury. The ECA loan 

agreements were concluded between 

National Treasury and the foreign 

banks and thus the Department of 

Defence has no visibility to the actual 

amount of interest that would accrue on 

each of the loan agreements. 

(3) (a) Yes. The contract value for the 

Strategic Defence Package programme, 

at the time of contracting, 

amounted to R30 049 706 

million (in 1998 rand value). During 

2000, at the commencement 

date of the contracts, the total 

projected value reported to Cabinet 

amounted to R43 828 248 million, 

based on a projection of the 

fluctuations in Rate of Exchange 

at the time. The total projected 

value of the programme as at April 

2008 amounts to R47 525 065 

million. No final paid amount can 

be provided yet, as none of the 

contracts have been completed to 

date and the outstanding payments 

are still subject to Rate of Exchange 

fluctuations. 

(b) The difference between the originally 

contracted amount and the 

projected final amount payable is 

due to escalation which formed 

part of each of the original contracts 

as well as fluctuations in the 

Rates of Exchange between the 

foreign currencies payable and the 

South African rand. 

(4) (a) to (d) The SDP Programme is 

partially funded by means of an ECA 

Loan agreement that was concluded 

between National Treasury and the 

respective foreign banks. Interest is 

payable on the ECA Loan agreements 

but the Department of Defence has 

insight into the loan agreements and 

can thus not comment on the period of 

repayment, interest accrued, capital 

that has been paid or the outstanding 

amounts.

Overcrowded prison in EC 



(1) Whether the Mthatha Medium 

Prison in the Eastern Cape is overcrowded; 

if so, (a) to what extent and 

(b) what steps have been taken to 

alleviate this situation; 




SERVICES: 

(1) (a) Mthatha Medium Correctional 

Centre has accommodation capacity 

for 580 offenders. By 30 June 

2008, 1 161 awaiting-trial detainees 

and 831 sentenced offenders 

(total of 1 992) were incarcerated, 

resulting in an occupancy level of 

343,44%. 

(b) Two meetings were held in 

Mthatha on 11 August 2008 to 

initiate specific interventions to 

address the level of overcrowding. 

The first was a Cluster meeting 

attended by senior managers from 

national, regional and local offices 

of the Department of Correctional 

Services, the Department of Justice 

and Constitutional Development 

and the National Prosecuting 

Authority. The second meeting 

only involved Correctional Services 

officials. 

The following resolutions were, 

amongst others, taken during these 

two meetings: 

● Co-operation by all role-players 

to consider the possible diversion 

of ± 428 awaiting-trial 

detainees with bail in terms of 

sections 63A and 63(1) of the 

Criminal Procedure Act, Act 51 

of 1977, on an ongoing basis. 

● Plea bargaining in terms of section 

105A of the Criminal Procedure 

Act will be marketed by 

both the Department of Correctional 

Services and the National 

Prosecuting Authority through 

notices and pamphlets. 

● Awaiting-trial children will not 

be referred to the Correctional 

Centre except in exceptional 

cases as stipulated in section 30 

of the Child Justice Bill. 

● A facility audit will be undertaken 

at Mqanduli, Engcobo, 

Nqqeleni and Mount Frere Correctional 

Centres. A total of 

± 600 awaiting-trial detainees 

from these four Correctional 

Centres are detained at Mthatha 

because the ceilings of these 

facilities are not reinforced and 

need to be upgraded. 

● The transfer of low-risk awaiting-trial 

detainees to Correctional 

Centres close to Mthatha. 

● Implementation of a regional 

transfer plan focusing on sentenced 

offenders with a medium-security 

classification. 

The abovementioned resolutions 

already resulted in a decrease by 

46,20% in the occupation level 

(from 343,44% to 297,24%) up to 

20 August 2008.

gazetting the Financial Sector Charter; if 


NW2157E 


TRY: 

The Codes of Good Practice for B-BBEE 

were gazetted on 9 February 2007, with a 

transitional period of 12 months granted to 

the entire market. In response to requests the 

transitional period was extended for a further 

six months. The extension was deemed 

to have been sufficient to enable the alignment 

of charters to the codes. Therefore the 

transitional period lapsed on 1 September 

2008. By 31 August 2008, the department 

had received at least seven industry sector 

charter applications for gazetting under section 

9 of the B-BBEE Act, being the 

following: Financial Sector Charter (FSC), 

Construction Charter, Property, Forestry, 

Marketing and Advertising Charter, Transport 

and ICT. 

Charters that have applied for gazetting 

before the end of the transitional period 

ending 31 August 2008 will be processed 

accordingly and afforded a 60-day public 

commentary process as per section 9 of the 

B-BBEE Act coupled with a 30-day technical 

analysis process. Thereafter the Charters 

will be gazetted as sector codes. All other 

sectors of the economy will be governed by 

the Codes.

QUESTIONS 


Sentence/rehabilitation of offenders 



(1) With reference to the replies to Question 

1295 on 31 October 2005 and 

Question 122 on 2 May 2007 (copies 

furnished), (a) what sentence was 

handed down to each offender, (b) 

how long did each offender serve, (c) 

what rehabilitation programme did 

each offender attend and (d) for how 

many hours did each offender attend

(2) whether a report was compiled by a 

social worker before each offender 

was released, stating that the offender 

was no longer a threat to 

society; if not, why not; if so, (a) 

which offenders were considered not

social worker wrote the report in 

each case? NW1358E 


SERVICES: 

(1) and (2) The Department of Correctional 

Services is unfortunately not in the position 

to provide a reply because adequate identifying 

particulars (e.g. names) regarding the 

offenders were not made available and they 

could therefore not be traced. 

SABC delegation sent to 

Beijing Olympics

(b) what are the names and positions 

of (i) staff and (ii) board members on 

the delegation and (c) what is the

delegation to the Olympics; 

whether this expenditure is justified 

in view of the SABC projecting a 

substantial loss in the 2008-09 financial 

year; if not, what is the position 



The MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS: 

(1) I was informed by the SABC that they 

did send a delegation to the Beijing 

Olympics comprising staff and board 

members who were not directly involved 

in the operational elements of 

broadcasting the Olympics. 

(a) The purpose of such a delegation 

was to — 

● market and promote the SABC 

corporate and SABC Sport 

brands, reputation and image; 

● build, promote and develop 

strong relationships with members 

of the industry (internal and 

external stakeholders, as well as 

members of print media); 

● use the event as an opportunity 

to emphasise the SABC’s commitment 

to providing universal 

access to programme that informs, 

educate and entertains; 

● use the events as a vehicle for 

SABC’s executive management 

to foster and influence relationships 

with key stakeholders; 

● create a platform for communication 

and networking; and


528 

(b) 

● contribute to audience growth 

and loyalty (before and during 

broadcasts). 

The names and positions of the — 

(i) staff on the delegation are as 

follows: 

Gab 

GCEO 

Mampone, Acting 

Ntando Simelane, Acting 

Company Secretary 

Lulama 

Executive

(ii) board members on the delegation 


Ashwin Trikamjee, Nonexecutive 

board member 

Desmond Golding, Non- 

(c) 

executive board member 

Nadia Bulbulia, Nonexecutive 

board member. 

The estimated cost to the SABC of 

sending the delegation to the 

(2) 

Olympics was R2 701 217. 

I am advised by SABC that SABC 

Sport had budgeted for the trip to the 

Beijing Olympics, and therefore the 

expenditure was justified in the circumstances.

office of the Regional Commissioner 

and it was established that the member 

was there on departmental business. 

(2) As mentioned in paragraph 1 supra, the 

official was there on official business. 

However, a disciplinary action will be 

instituted for failing to make proper use 

of parking facilities as such behavior is 

unacceptable. 

(3) (a) and (b) The details in respect of 

Regions are attached per annexure.

(b) Two meetings were held in 

Mthatha on 11 August 2008 to 

initiate specific interventions to 

address the level of overcrowding. 

The first was a Cluster meeting 

attended by Senior Managers from 

National, Regional and Local Offices 

of the Department of Correctional 

Services, the Department of 

Justice and Constitutional Development 


Authority. The second meeting 

only involved Correctional Services 

officials. 

The following resolutions were, 

amongst others, taken during these 

two meetings: 

● Co-operation by all role-players 

to consider the possible diversion 

of ± 428 awaiting-trial detainees 

with bail in terms of 

sections 63A and 63(1) of the


548 

Criminal Procedure Act, Act 51 

of 1977, on an ongoing basis. 

● Plea bargaining in terms of section 

105A of the Criminal Procedures 

Act, 1977 will be 

marketed by both the Department 

of Correctional Services 


Authority through notices and 

pamphlets. 

● Awaiting-trial children will not 

be referred to the Correctional 

Centre except in exceptional 

cases as stipulated in section 30 

of the Child Justice Bill. 

● A facility audit will be undertaken 

at Mqanduli, Engcobo, 

Nqeleni and Mount Frere Correctional 

Centres. A total of 

± 600 awaiting-trial detainees 

from these four correctional 

centres are detained at Mthatha 

because the ceilings of these 

facilities are not reinforced and 

need to be upgraded. 

● The transfer of low-risk awaiting-trial 

detainees to correctional 

centres close to Mthatha. 

● Implementation of a regional 

transfer plan focusing on sentenced 

offenders with a medium 

security classification. 

The abovementioned resolutions 

already resulted in a decrease by 

46,20% in the occupation level 

(from 343,44% to 297,24%) up to 

20 August 2008.

Standard Chart of Accounts (SCOA)

hence the disclosure of all items reflected 

under consultants in the department’s

end, the department has defined the 

categories within this classification as


554 

follows: 

Consultants: A consultant is contracted 

through a company or directly for a 

defined period related to a specific 

project. These Service Providers deliver 

various services to the department, 

some of which are contracted 

annually, depending on the needs and 

others on once-off bases. 

Contractors: A contractor, for all intents 

and purposes, is viewed and 

treated as an employee in the department. 

Contractors are employed directly 

to DPE in their personal capacity 

or through a company. They are based 

at the department on a full-time basis 

for a fixed period ranging from one to 

three years. These individuals are specialists 

with extensive experience in 

their area of operation. They are expected 

to comply with normal working 

hours as per the Basic Conditions of 

Employment and are vetted in a similar 

fashion to Public Service Employees.

QUESTIONS 


Records of foreign nationals’ assets in 

SA 

1215. Mr A J LEON (DA) asked the Minister 

of Foreign Affairs: 

Whether the government has information 

on (a) asset ownership including land, (b) 

company shares including board directorships 

and (c) any other ownership of 

entities in the country by (i) Robert 

Mugabe, (ii) Constantine Chiwenga, (iii) 

Emmerson Mnangagwa, (iv) Gideon 

Gono, (v) Augustine Chihuri, (vi) Patrick 

Chinamasa, (vii) Perence Shiri, (viii) 

David Parirenyatwa, (viiii) Didymus 

Mutasa, (x) George Charamba, (xi) 

Paradzi Zimondi, (xii) Happyton Bonyongwe, 

(xiii) Sydney Tigere Sekeremayi, 

(xiiii) Joseph Mtakwese Mada; if so, what 


The MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS: 

The Department of Foreign Affairs does not 

keep records of foreign nationals’ assets in 

South Africa, and is therefore not in a 

position to provide details on the ownership 

of any assets by the individuals mentioned in 

the question. 

Electricity supplied to Zimbabwe 



(1) Whether any debt for electricity that 

Eskom provided to Zimbabwe has 

not yet been paid; if so, (a) what is 

the total amount outstanding and (b) 

how often is payment made for 

electricity Eskom provides to Zimbabwe; 

(2) whether any payment plans are in 

place to repay this debt; if not, why 

not; if so, what are the relevant 



PRISES: 

(1) (a) to (b) There is currently no outstanding 

debt for any electricity supply 

made to Zimbabwe. 

(2) Not applicable.


568 

QUESTIONS 


Construction of a dam across the 

Umzimvubu River 



(1) Whether any investigations or feasibility 

studies have been or will be 

conducted into the construction of a 

dam across the Umzimvubu River; if 



(2) whether any companies or interested 

parties have made unsolicited bids to 

participate in the proposed development; 

if so, (a) what are the names of 

the companies or interested parties 




AND FORESTRY: 

(1) The DWAF is not investigating any 

specific dam for any specific purpose 

on the Umzimvubu River. Such a study 

will only be done at the request of 

Asgisa Eastern Cape (Pty) Ltd, which 

has been specially created to lead the 

development of the Umzimvubu River 

catchment, as well as areas lying in the 

geographical region generally referred 

to as the Umzimvubu Development 

Zone. In anticipation of the waterrelated 

developments of the region, and 

in line with the Eastern Cape Provincial 

Growth and Development programme, 

Department of Water Affairs and Forestry 

has been doing some foundation 

work which will be used to compile a 

database to aid the formulation of 

specific studies requested by Asgisa 

Eastern Cape (Pty) Ltd. The work that 

has already been done is at a low level 

of investigation, but could be used to 

identify possible irrigation opportuni- 

ties, pumped-storage hydro-electric 

(2) 

schemes, forestry opportunities and 

rainwater harvesting for household security. 

Databases on hydrology, climate, 

soil types, suitable crops and 

other developmental inputs are also 

being compiled in anticipation of the 

needs of the area. None of these possible 

schemes involve any sizeable dam 

on the Umzimvubu River or its tributaries. 

The Department of Water Affairs 

and Forestry still awaits direction regarding 

development proposals from 

Asgisa Eastern Cape (Pty) Ltd before 

doing a detailed study on any specific 

dam. 

No companies have made any such 

unsolicited bids. 

Cost of converting electricity geysers to 

solar power geysers 



(1) Whether her department has considered 

subsidising the cost of converting 

electricity geysers to solar 

(2) 

powered geysers; if not, why not; if 


whether her department has been 

informed of such subsidisation by 

other departments and/or Eskom; if 


NW2211E 


ENERGY: 

(1) Yes. Renewable Energy Funds Subsidy 

makes provision to subsidise solar water 

geysers. 

(2) The demand side management programme 

that is administered by Eskom 

makes provision of a 30% subsidy for a 

solar water geyser through suppliers 

that are listed on their database.


570 

Punishment for learners engaging in 

antisocial behaviour 

1481. Mr G G BOINAMO (DA) asked the 

Minister of Education: 

Whether her department has any mechanisms 

in place to punish learners who 

repeatedly engage in antisocial behaviour 

such as bullying, physical or sexual assaults 

or any other behaviour that threatens 

the well-being of other learners and/or 

teachers; if not, why not; if so, what are 


The MINISTER OF EDUCATION: 

Yes, the SA Schools Act, Act 84 of 1996, 

requires school governing bodies and school 

management teams to establish and implement 

codes of conduct for learners in all 

educational settings. Codes of conduct for 

learners are negotiated commitments on the 

part of all learners and parents to abide by set 

rules so that effective teaching and learning 

can take place undisturbed. This implies a 

commitment from educators to establish 

discipline as a positive, learning process. In 

terms of section 8(4) of the Schools Act, 

learners are obliged to comply with the code 

of conduct. Section 8(5) makes provision for 

due process, including a fair hearing before a 

learner may be suspended by the school 

governing body or expelled by the provincial 

head of department. Section 9 prescribes 

two kinds of suspension: (i) as a correctional 

measure for a period of up to a week, or (ii) 

pending a decision from the provincial 

education department as to whether the 

learner is to be expelled from the school. 

These processes should be followed in all 

cases, including antisocial behaviour as described 

in the question. Schools may act 

immediately in such cases to ensure the 

safety of other learners and/or teachers and 

have been encouraged to do so. 

Deal between PetroSA and certain 

company 



(1) (a) When was the deal between a 

(2) 

certain company (name furnished) 

and PetroSA entered into and (b) 

what were the specific terms of the 

deal; 

whether PetroSA took cognisance of 

the UN Final Report by the Panel 

of Experts on the Illegal Exploitation 

of Natural Resources and other 

Forms of Wealth of the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo; if not, why 




ENERGY: 

(a) The agreement was signed by both 

parties on 17 June 2004 — effective for 

two years, commencing 1 August 2004. 

(b) The agreement stipulates that MESA 

will supply condensate as a feed stock 

for the Mossel Bay Refinery at prices 

that are dependent on the grade of 

condensate that would have been supplied 

to PetroSA. 

(c) No. But at any rate, the report did not 

specifically mention DRC or MESA. 

Background: 

After the aforesaid condensate deal, MESA 

subsequently successfully bid for other spot 

deals for Reformate, amongst others, all of 

which had nothing to do with DRC. 

Recent news: 

On 24 August 2008. the Sunday Times 

newspaper published a story in its business 

section insinuating that PetroSA knowingly 

‘‘dished out oil deals’’ to a consortium partly 

owned by foreign businessmen accused of 

being fronts for Zimbabwean President 

Robert Mugabe. 

PetroSA then placed it on record that in 2004 

they concluded a tender wherein MESA 

Energy, a majority-owned South African 

company, was contracted to supply them 

with gas condensate. At the time three 

separate South African companies owned


572 

51% of MESA. A Mauritian-registered company 

Pegasus Energy (Ltd) owned the remaining 

49%. 

A forensic audit to verify the legal and BEE 

status of MESA was conducted in accordance 

with PetroSA’s policies. The decision 

to award MESA Energy this highly competitive 

tender, was based on PetroSA’s stringent 

selection criteria, which considered factors 

such as pricing, BEE participation levels, 

and the ability to introduce various condensate 

grades. 

It is also true that in January 2008, PetroSA 

purchased a spot cargo of Reformate from 

MESA. 

Throughout these transactions PetroSA has 

conducted itself with professional integrity, 

putting at the forefront the best interests of 

South Africa. At no time before or after the 

two deals, was PetroSA ever informed of any 

allegations of impropriety concerning 

MESA or any of its partners. 

It is therefore mischievous of the Sunday 

Times to insinuate that PetroSA knowingly 

conducted business in defiance of United 

Nations resolutions or sanctions. A fact is that 

PetroSA, in good faith, concluded two deals 

with Mesa Energy. Both deals were conducted 

in full compliance with PetroSA’s 

internal processes which are aligned with 

PFMA Act. Possible link between the ‘‘UN 

Final Report by the Panel of Experts on the 

Illegal Exploration of Natural Resources and 

other forms of Wealth of the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo’’ and MESA http:// 

www.natural-resources.ora/minerals/law/docs/ 

pdf/N0262179.pd 

Among the government departments interviewed 

by the Panel of Experts was the 

Department of Minerals and Energy of 

South Africa (p.54 of the UN Final Report). 

However, no names of officials interviewed 

were provided. 

The central focus of the panel’s work was 

gathering information about politically and 

economically powerful groups involved in 

the exploitation activities/illegal exploration 

of natural resources and other forms of 

wealth of the Democratic Republic of the 

Congo (DRC), which are often highly 

criminalised. The UN Report’s main focus is 

on the microconflicts that have been provoked 

by the DRC civil war that have 

resulted in some groups, politically connected 

persons and high-ranking government 

officials from States involved in the 

conflict criminally exploiting the situation 

for self-enrichment. 

The report then goes further to explain the 

modus operandi of the said groups but has 

no specific mention of MESA Energy. The 

person posing the questions seems to be of 

the opinion that there is a link between 

MESA (shareholders or individuals within 

MESA) and the entities alleged to be involved 

in the illegal dealings in DRC (from a 

Zimbabwe front) as shown in the extracts of 

the Report below. Unfortunately, a detailed 

investigation could not be conducted to 

prove beyond reasonable doubt that there is 

no such link. Extracts from the report that 

could be relevant to the questions posed are 

as follows: 

Quote: 

‘‘12. The regional conflict that drew the 

armies of seven African States into the 

Democratic Republic of the Congo has 

diminished in intensity, but the overlapping 

microconflicts that it provoked continue. 

These conflicts are fought over minerals, 

farm produce, land and even tax revenues. 

Criminal groups linked to the armies of 

Rwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe and the 

Government of the Democratic Republic of 

the Congo have benefited from the 

microconflicts. Those groups will not disband 

voluntarily even as the foreign military 

forces continue their withdrawals. They 

have built up a self-financing war economy 

centred on mineral exploitation. 

13. Facilitated by South Africa and Angola, 

the Pretoria and Luanda Agreements have 

prompted the recent troop withdrawals from


574 

the eastern Democratic Republic of the 

Congo. Welcome as they may be, these 

withdrawals are unlikely to alter the determination 

of Rwanda and Zimbabwe, and 

Ugandan individuals, to exercise economic 

control over portions of the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo. The departure of 

their forces will do little to reduce economic 

control, or the means of achieving it, since 

the use of national armies is only one among 

many means for exercising it. All three 

countries have anticipated the day when 

pressure from the international community 

would take it impossible to maintain large 

forces in the Democratic Republic of the 

Congo. The Governments of Rwanda and 

Zimbabwe, as well as powerful individuals 

in Uganda, have adopted other strategies for 

maintaining the mechanisms for revenue 

generation, many of which involve criminal 

activities, once their troops have departed. 

17. Although troops of the Zimbabwe Defence 

Forces have been a major guarantor of 

the security of the Government of the 

Democratic Republic of the Congo against 

regional rivals, its senior officers have enriched 

themselves from the country’s mineral 

assets under the pretext of arrangements 

set up to repay Zimbabwe for military 

services. Now ZDF is establishing new 

companies and contractual arrangements to 

defend its economic interests in the longer 

term should there be a complete withdrawal 

of ZDF troops. New trade and service 

agreements were signed between the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe 

just prior to the announced withdrawal of 

ZDF troops from the diamond centre of 

Mbuji Mayi late in August 2002. 

18. Towards the end of its mandate, the 

Panel received a copy of a memorandum 

dated August 2002 from the Defence Minister, 

Sidney Sekeramayi, to President Robert 

Mugabe, proposing that a joint Zimbabwe- 

Democratic Republic of the Congo company 

be set up in Mauritius to disguise the 

continuing economic interests of ZDF in 

the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The 

memorandum States: ‘‘Your Excellency 

would be aware of the wave of negative 

publicity and criticism that the DRC-Zimbabwe 

joint ventures have attracted, which 

tends to inform the current United Nations 

Panel investigations into our commercial 

activities.’’ It also refers to plans to set up a 

private Zimbabwean military company to 

guard Zimbabwe’s economic investments in 

the Democratic Republic of the Congo after 

the planned withdrawal of ZDF troops. It 

States that this company was formed to 

operate alongside a new military company 

owned by the Democratic Republic of the 

Congo. 

19. At the same time, local militias and local 

politicians have supplemented the role that 

State armies previously played in ensuring 

access to and control of valuable resources 

and diverting state revenue. The looting that 

was previously conducted by the armies 

themselves has been replaced with organised 

systems of embezzlement, tax fraud, extortion, 

the use of stock options as kickbacks 

and diversion of state funds conducted by 

groups that closely resemble criminal 

organisations. 

20. Such activities have become increasingly 

prominent in the techniques of exploitation 

in the Democratic Republic of the 

Congo. The Panel has identified three distinct 

groups engaged in activities in three 

different areas and refers to them as elite 

networks. These elite networks have control 

over a range of commercial activities involving 

the exploitation of natural resources, 

diversion of taxes and other revenue generation 

activities in the three separate areas 

controlled by the Government of the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and 

Uganda, respectively.’’ 

22. The elite network of Congolese and 

Zimbabwean political, military and commercial 

interests seeks to maintain its grip on 

the main mineral resources — diamonds, 

cobalt, copper, germanium — of the government-controlled 

area. This network has


576 

transferred ownership of at least US$ 5 

billion of assets from the state mining sector 

to private companies under its control in the 

past three years with no compensation or 

benefit for the state treasury of the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo. 

23. This network benefits from instability in 

the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its 

representatives in the Kinshasa government 

and the Zimbabwe defence forces have 

fuelled instability by supporting armed 

groups opposing Rwanda and Burundi. 

24. Even if present moves towards peace 

lead to a complete withdrawal of Zimbabwean 

forces, the network’s grip on the 

richest mineral assets of the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo and related businesses 

will remain. Zimbabwe’s politicalmilitary 

elite signed six major trade and 

service agreements in August 2002 with the 


the Congo. Reliable sources have told the 

Panel about plans to set up new holding 

companies to disguise the continuing ZDF 

commercial operations in the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo and a ZDF-controlled 

private military company to be deployed in 

the country to guard those assets. 

27. The key strategist for the Zimbabwean 

branch of the elite network is the Speaker of 

the Parliament and former National Security 

Minister, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa. 

Mr Mnangagwa has won strong support 

from senior military and intelligence 

officers for an aggressive policy in the 

Democratic Republic of the Congo. His key 

ally is a Commander of ZDF and Executive 

Chairman of Cosleg, General Vitalis 

Musunga Gava Zvinavashe. The General 

and his family have been involved in diamond 

trading and supply contracts in the 

Democratic Republic of the Congo. A longtime 

ally of President Mugabe, Air Marshal 

Perence Shiri, has been involved in military 

procurement and organising air support for 

the pro-Kinshasa armed groups fighting in 

the eastern Democratic Republic of the 

Congo. He is also part of the inner circle of 

ZDF diamond traders who have turned 

Harare into a significant illicit diamondtrading 

centre. 

28. Other prominent Zimbabwean members 

of the network include Brigadier General 

Sibusiso Busi Moyo, who is Director-General 

of Cosleg. Brigadier Moyo advised both 

Tremalt and Oryx Natural Resources, which 

represented covert Zimbabwean military financial 

interests in negotiations with state 

mining companies of the Democratic Republic 

of the Congo. Air Commodore Mike 

Tichafa Karakadzai is Deputy Secretary of 

Cosleg, directing policy and procurement. 

He played a key role in arranging the 

Tremalt cobalt and copper deal. Colonel 

Simpson Sikhulile Nyathi is Director of 

defence policy for Cosleg. The Minister of 

Defence and former Security Minister, 

Sidney Sekeramayi, co-ordinates with the 

military leadership and is a shareholder in 

Cosleg. The Panel has a copy of a letter from 

Mr Sekeramayi thanking the Chief Executive 

of Oryx Natural Resources, Thamer Bin 

Said Ahmed AI Shanfari, for his material and 

moral support during the parliamentary elections 

of 2000. Such contributions violate 

Zimbabwean law. 

29. In June 2002, the Panel learned of a 

secret new ZDF diamond mining operation 

in Kalobo in Kasai Occidental run by Dube 

Associates. This company is linked, according 

to banking documents, through Colonel 

Tshinga Dube of Zimbabwe Defence Industries 

to the Ukrainian diamond and arms 

dealer Leonid Minim, who currently faces 

smuggling charges in Italy. The diamond 

mining operations have been conducted in 

great secrecy. 

31. The techniques used by Mr Forrest have 

since been replicated by Zimbabweanbacked 

entrepreneurs John Arnold 

Bredenkamp and Mr AI Shanfari. Mr 

Bredenkamp, who has an estimated personal 

net worth of over $500 million, is experienced 

in setting up clandestine companies


578 

and sanctions-busting operations. Mr AI- 

Shanfari has gained privileged access to the 


the Congo and its diamond concessions in 

exchange for raising capital from some 

powerful entrepreneurs in the Gulf such as 

Issa a/-Kawari who manages the fortune of 

the deposed Amir of Qatar. Also working 

with ZDF is a convicted criminal based in 

South Africa, Nico Shefer, who has arranged 

for Zimbabwean officers to be trained in 

diamond valuation in Johannesburg. Mr 

Shefer’s company, Tandan Holdings, has a 

50% stake in Thorntree Industries, a joint 

venture diamond-trading company with 

ZDF. 

32. Zimbabwean Billy Rautenbach headed a 

joint venture cobalt-mining company and 

was Chief Executive of Gecamines from 

November 1998 to March 2000. Although 

stripped of his cobalt concessions in 

Katanga, Mr Rautenbach told the panel that 

the government of the Democratic Republic 

of the Congo had offered his company, 

Ridgepointe International, mining rights to 

Gecamines concessions at Shinkolobwe, 

which include substantial deposits of uranium, 

copper and cobalt. Mr Rautenbach’s 

representatives said that any new agreement 

would be subject to the new mining code of 

the Democratic Republic of the Congo and 

any uranium mining operations would be 

open to inspections by the International 

Atomic Energy Agency.’’

and each province has established a unit to 

manage this process. For the 2007-08 financial 

year an amount of R2,4 billion has been 

included in the block allocations made to 

section 21 schools. Furthermore, schools 

may use their own funds to buy additional 

textbooks and materials. 

Provinces have adopted different approaches 

to the procurement and distribution of textbooks. 

Two provinces make use of a 

centralised private agency, which orders and 

delivers on behalf of the provincial education 

department, while another province has 

decentralised the function directly to 

schools, which make their own purchases 

with funds provided. These different systems 

make monitoring difficult, since there are 

few transversal benchmarks that can be used 

to monitor progress for all provinces. 

The department is using its normal monitoring 

instruments to check on the various 

stages of the textbook (and LTSM) cycle, 

including the preparation of catalogues, the 

selection of books by schools, and the 

placing of orders. However, even if all of 

these processes are completed on time, the

QUESTIONS 


ATMs bombed 

1226. Ms D KOHLER-BARNARD (DA) 

asked the Minister of Safety and Security: 

(1) (a) How many ATMs have been 

bombed in each of the past five years 

in each province, (b) what is the 

South African Police Service (SAPS) 

doing to combat this specific type of 

criminal activity and (c) what successes 

has the SAPS had to date with 

regard to (i) arrests and (ii) convictions 

of perpetrators of ATM bombings; 

(2) whether any special investigations 

have been done into the allegations 

that SAPS and SANDF members 

provided weapons and explosives to 

the bombers; if not, why not; if so,

(b) The reported cases are being investigated 

by the Organised Crime 

Units. Dedicated Organised Crime 

detectives, forming part of the 

Specific Violent Crime Sections 

within Organised Crime, were appointed 

to investigate these cases 

in each province. The operational

All vacant posts for officers are 

advertised and the same procedure 

that is followed to fill other vacancies 

in the SAPS, is followed to 

determine which applicant should be 

placed in the relevant post. Factors 

like equity, qualifications and experience 

are considered. A panel recommends 

the most suitable candidate 

for the post after all the candidates 

are interviewed. 

(iii) (aa) Equipment: 

The Police Aviation industry is 

very dynamic and new hightech 

equipment is constantly 

developed, resulting in old 

equipment becoming outdated. 

This equipment is upgraded or 

replaced regularly. This places a 

burden on the Air Wing’s budget 

and at times not all of the 

required equipment can be procured 

immediately given its 

cost. 

(bb) Skills: 

There is a huge shortage of 

skilled pilots and aircraft maintenance 

engineers worldwide. 

The SAPS Air Wing is no exception 

and pilots and aircraft 

maintenance engineers are constantly 

lured to the private sector 

with better remunerative 

packages and well-structured 

career paths. 

(cc) Resources: 

Aircraft in the Air Wing are 

limited to only two or three per 

province and need to be managed 

with great care. From time 

to time, it is necessary to move 

resources from one province to 

another to maintain an efficient 

aerial policing capacity. 

(c) (aa) Equipment: 

With a limited budget, the needs 

are prioritised annually to procure 

priority equipment. This equipment 

is maintained at a very high 

standard in order to extend its 

usability as far as possible. Since 

2000 the Air Wing has enlarged its 

fleet with 13 Eurocopter AS350 

and six Robinson R44 helicopters 

which will be delivered within this 

financial year. A Pilatus PC 12, 

Learjet 31 and a Cessna Sovereign 

have also been procured since 

2000. The Air Wing is in the 

process of replacing its old FLIR 

cameras with new generation high 

technology ones. 

(bb) Skills: 

Scarcity allowances are paid to 

pilots and aircraft maintenance 

engineers in an effort to retain 

their specialised skills. The SAPS 

Air Wing has embarked on its own 

training programme for pilots and 

aircraft maintenance engineers to 

fill the gap. Five helicopter pilots 

who were trained by the SAPS Air 

Wing have already qualified to 

function as pilots in command of 

SAPS helicopters. Five more are 

still being trained. 

(cc) Resources: 

All the provincial units have been 

allocated at least two aircraft to 

enable them to render a more 

effective service. The structure of 

the units has been amended so that


618 

all the units, except for the Port 

Elizabeth Air Wing, have at least 

two pilots and crew. The Eastern 

Cape has two provincial units with 

one in Port Elizabeth and the other 

one in Bulembu near Bhisho.

(c) Statistics concerning how many officials 

were prosecuted are not readily 

available. Some cases would be referred 

to the SAPS (SAPS) to be dealt 

with, in terms of the criminal justice 

system. These would be cases that are 

criminal in nature. The Department of 

Home Affairs does not receive feedback 

from the SAPS on the outcome of 

these cases. 

Energy audit 


the Minister of Home Affairs: 

(1) Whether her department has conducted 

an energy audit to determine 

its (a) use of energy and (b) opportunities 

for reduction of energy use; if 



(2) whether her department has any 

plans to reduce energy consumption; 

if not, why not; if so, what plans; 

(3) whether her department has made 

any material reduction in energy use 

since 1 January 2008; if not, why 




(1)-(3) The department has disengaged geyser 

installations, and has further, requested 

officials not to use portable bar 

heating systems any longer. As part of 

the contingencies to deal with load 

shedding (power-cuts), the department 

has installed 11 Gensets and Uninterrupted 

Power Supply (UPS) at stateowned 

buildings. The rollout of this to 

all Department of Home Affairs regional 

offices is led by the Department 

of Public Works (DPW). The DPW 

conducted energy savings audits at all 

the offices of the Department of Home 

Affairs, and will issue recommendations 

on further energy savings 

methods as well as energy saving devices 

that must be installed at the 

various offices of the department. 

Delivery of on-site ambient monitors 



(1) Whether, with reference to his reply 

to Question 721 on 24 June 2005, the 

on-site ambient monitors that were 

purchased in the USA (a) were delivered 

and (b) have been in regular use; 

if not, why not; if so, (i) at what 

intervals were the levels of air pollution 

monitored, (ii) to whom were 

the results reported and (iii) what 

were the results of each report during 

the period 31 June 2005 up to the


626 


is available; 

(2) whether any levels of air pollution 

above acceptable levels have been 

reported; if not, why not; if so, what 


(3) whether the manganese ore loading 

facility (a) poses a health threat to 

any persons who work or live within 

a 10km radius of the harbour and (b) 

is detrimental to the urban environment 

in which it is situated; if not, 


details; 

(4) whether he intends taking any action 

to remedy this; if not, why not; if so, 

what action? NW2324E 



(1) (a) Yes. Monitoring equipment was 

ordered and delivered. 

(b) (i) Continuous dust monitoring takes 

place with monthly analysis of 

samples; 

(ii) Results are reported to the Directorate 

Atmospheric Quality Information 

in Pretoria and a copy has been sent 

to the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality 

(NMBM) since July 2008; and 

(iii) Monitoring reports have only been 

sent to Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality 

(NMBM) from July 2008, 

however, reports have been re- 

(2) 

quested from Transnet Harbour Terminal. 

A visit has been undertaken 

and an email sent to the management 

of Transnet who promised to respond 

on 29 September 2008 for commenting 

on the rest of the monitoring 

results. 

No. Air pollution levels are within 

acceptable levels. 

(3) (a) The levels of tests done are suggestive 

of the fact that they not posing 

any threat to humans in and around 

the facility. 

(b) The monitoring results done by an 

Approved Inspection Authority for 

Transnet are very low to be of concern 

to the urban environment. Control 

systems for dust suppression are in 

place and inspection to their premises 

was undertaken by Messrs G. Scott 

from DEAT and T. Titima of NMBM. 

(4) Monitoring will continue to take place. 

Based on measured pollution levels, no 

additional action is required. 

Tourists to stay at least one night 



(1) Whether his department will make 

representation to Statistics South Africa 

about amending the measurement 

of what is a valid tourist arrival 

to include a stay of at least one night 

in the country; if not, why not; if so, 


(2) (a) how many of the total number of 

tourists that arrived in 2007 departed 

on the same day that they arrived and 

(b) for the first six months of 2008, 

(i) what was the total number of 

tourist arrivals and (ii) how is this 

figure broken up according to 

market? NW2352E 



(1) The department (DEAT) has been 

working closely with Statistics South 

Africa (Stats SA) and the Department 

of Home Affairs (DHA) in this regard. 

Stats SA has developed a model to 

calculate the length of stay of all 

foreign arrivals for the period of 2007.


628 

This model will enable us to identify 

valid tourists from the total foreign 

arrivals released by DHA. The model 

has been presented to DEAT’s management, 

MIPTECH and MINMEC for 

noting. Stats SA is currently working 

closely with DHA to verify if the valid 

length of stay could be automatically 

calculated using the Movement Control 

System which is used to capture arrivals 

and departures. 

(In addition, South Africa, like other 

member states of the World Tourism 

Organisation (WTO), has adopted the 

standardised tourism definitions of the 

WTO and therefore DEAT, Stats SA 

and South African Tourism (SAT) are 

currently using definitions which are 

aligned with WTO definitions for tourism 

and include the definitions for a 

tourist as someone who stays one or 

more nights outside their usual environment 

/ residence and a visitor is defined 

as someone who visits a place but does 

not stay for one night.) 

(2) (a) Stats SA is in the process of 

finalising the 2007 report including 

the same day and overnight 

visitors, duration of stay and total 

number of tourists. However, it is 

currently estimated that about a 

quarter of the total number of the 

tourists that arrived in 2007 were 

same-day visitors. The exact figure 

will be known once Stats SA 

has released the report. 

(b) (i) The total foreign arrivals (excluding 

workers and contract 

workers) for January to June 

2008 was 4,7 million compared 

to the same period in 2007. 

Foreign arrivals from Africa 

and overseas were 3, 6 and 1,1 

million respectively. 

(ii) Table A attached hereto indicate 

the total number of foreign arrivals 

for January to June 2008 

compared to the same periods in 

2007 according to markets.


630 

TABLE A - JUNE 2008 

TOTAL FOREIGN ARRIVALS* 

*Foreign tourist arrivals, according to the WTO, are all foreign arrivals less all those who stayed for less than one day and more than 365 days, and excludes travellers who were remunerated from within the place they travelled to. The closest possible approximation to this definition, given the current format of statistics issued by Statssa, is All Foreign Arrivals less “workers” and 

“contract workers”. SATourism uses this definition. The sensitivity of the difference between this definition and the closest alternative definition has been tested to be less than 0.5%.

(3) A person must be 21 years old to 

qualify for registration as a tourist 

guide and should have acquired training 

from a training provider accredited 

by the Tourism Hospitality and Education 

Training Authority (THETA) or 

should have been assessed for competencies 

resulting from informal learning, 

ie, recognition of prior learning 

(RPL). 

(4) DEAT and the provinces have funded 

people from the previously disadvantaged 

backgrounds to be trained as 

guides, including training in foreign 

languages. Furthermore, DEAT together 

with the industry are engaging to 

determine areas for intervention 

through training. I am glad to inform 

you that, in the first quarter of this year, 

the Professional Hunters Association 

(PHASA) have joined the guiding industry 

and are registering as guides in 

accordance with the Act. This applies to 

the underwater divers and their diverse 

associations. 

Illegal clearing of forests 



(1) Whether there has been any illegal 

clearing of forests or other land 

cover in the iSimangaliso Wetland 

Park for the purpose of agriculture; if 


regard; if so, (a) what is the location 

and (b) approximate extent of the 

clearing in each case;


634 

(2) whether any individuals have been 

arrested for this activity; if not, why 

not; if so, what action was taken 

against them; 

(3) whether any action was taken to 

prevent this activity from persisting; 



(4) (a) in terms of what (i) legislation 

and (ii) regulations is such activity 

regarded as an offence and (b) what 

are the maximum applicable penalties? 

NW2354E 



(1) Yes. When the Park was proclaimed in 

2000 under the World Heritage Convention 

Act, Act 49 of 1999, sections 

within the proclaimed park where legally 

occupied by people. Outside of 

these sections of the Park there were 

also areas where unauthorised/ illegal 

agriculture occurred, namely Dukuduku/uMfolozi 

floodplain and Ozabeni. 

Neither of these sections of the Park has 

ever been fenced. 

Dukuduku/uMfolozi — from the late 

1980s (despite several attempts by the 

Department of Water Affairs and Forestry 

(DWAF) to relocate people) there 

have been successive land invasions 

with approximately 3000 homesteads 

now residing and pursuing agricultural 

and other activities in the DukuDuku/ 

uMfolozi. The extent of these activities 

covered about 5000ha of which 264ha 

is on the uMfolozi floodplain section. 

In December 2007 and February 2008 

the National and KZN Provincial Cabinet’s 

approved the legalising and 

formalisation of settlements within in 

Dukuduku, subject to the unsustainable 

activities on the uMfolozi floodplain 

being curtailed and relocated from it 

and the fencing off of the Futululu 

section. 

The Ozabeni section of iSimangalso is 

approximately 66 000ha in extent — a 

land claim in this area was lodged in the 

late 1990s. It was settled in 2002. The 

settlement agreement made provision 

for a 5000ha cattle grazing area. At the 

time of the Parks proclamation in 2000 

and the land claim settlement there was 

illegal agriculture in the cattle grazing 

area. Since the promulgation of Regulations 

in terms of the National Environmental 

Management: Protected 

Areas Act, Act 57 of 2003 

(2) 

(‘‘NEMPAA’’) to date an estimated 

additional 13.6ha has been cleared 

bringing the total area cleared to approximately 

40ha. Agricultural fields 

outside the cattle grazing area have 

been closed and rehabilitated. 

Arrests are made through the SA Police 

Service (SAPS). The following process 

has been followed: 

Dukuduku/uMfolozi — On the 28th of 

August 2008 the National Minister of 

Water Affairs and Forestry, Minister of 

Environmental Affairs and Tourism and 

the KZN MEC for Local Government, 

Housing and Traditional Affairs informed 

affected communities of government’s 

decision at a meeting of 

about 5000 people. A task team lead by 

Local Government and Housing and 

including Transport, Housing, Health, 

Education, Economic Development, 

Agriculture and Environmental Affairs, 

Community Safety and Liaison, the 

National Departments of Water Affairs 

and Forestry, Environmental Affairs 

and Tourism, Land Affairs, Minerals 

and Energy and the Land Claims Commission, 

Mtubatuba Local Municipality, 

uMkhanyakude District Municipality, 

iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority, 

Mpukunyoni Traditional Council, 

Eskom and Telkom has been 

charged to oversee its implementation. 

A full-time project team is place.


636 

DWAF is in the process of releasing the 

uMfolozi floodplain and Futulu sections 

to DEAT in terms of the Forestry 

Laws Amendment Act, Act 35 of 2005 

enabling the Park to manage this area 

as a conservation area within the 

regulatory 

NEMPAA. 

framework provided by 

(3) 

The removal of illegal clearing from 

the uMfolozi floodplain will take place 

under the auspices of the task team and 

in accordance with Cabinet’s decisions 

regarding Dukuduku. The process is 

being led by the KZN Department of 

Local Government and Housing. 

The process is now being implemented 

and includes issuing of the necessary 

warning letters in terms of NEMPAA to 

those with illegal fields on the uMfolozi 

floodplain and arresting individuals attempting 

to open new fields. 

Ozabeni — 68 individuals have been 

arrested. Outside of the designated 

cattle grazing area offenders have been 

evicted and the areas rehabilitated. The 

cattle grazing area has been ring-fenced 

and a process is being undertaken 

which includes relocation of fields together 

with the simultaneous provision 

of alternatives. 

A budget has been allocated for the 

fencing of this section of the Park — 

this will be first time in the history of 

the Park that this particular area will be 

fenced. 41km of this 103km fence has 

been completed. 

The Park has adopted a two-pronged 

approach to compliance viz., education 

with alternatives and law enforcement. 

Law enforcement— 

Prior to the Regulations published in 

terms of NEMPAA the legislation regulating 

activities in the Park was the 

KZN Ordinance and the National 

Forests Act, Act 84 of 1998. After 

October 2005 the NEMPAA came into 

being. This legislation provides the 

Authority with the means to prosecute 

directly and not through partner agencies 

and departments. In the case of 

Ozabeni land was released by DWAF in 

terms of the National Forest Act to 

DEAT in the Park in April 2007. DWAF 

is now in the process of releasing 

sections of the Dukuduku/uMfolozi 

land to DEAT. 

The Park protocol for managing illegal 

clearing includes: 

● Regular flights and ground patrols to 

identify new clearing and assess existing 

clearings; 

● Filing of incident reports when a 

clearing is identified and the opening 

of a case file. The incident report 

details the extent of the clearing and 

maps the area using GPS points; 

● The serving of warning letters to 

offenders to verify locus standi and 

inform them about the illegal activity 

at time of identification and directing 

the offender to stop clearing. If the 

offender does not act according to 

this directive a second warning letter 

is issued. Thereafter the offender is 

arrested and prosecuted. 

Education with Alternatives 

The agriculture that takes place is of a 

subsistence nature. In order to prevent 

this activity from continuing and expanding 

the iSimangaliso Authority, 

through its People and Parks programme, 

has instituted agricultural and 

other local economic development programmes 

as alternatives to farming in 

the Park. Forty food gardens benefiting 

approximately 900 people (mainly 

women) have been established to date. 

Four hundred of the participants have 

received accredited training. Further 

funding has been secured from the 

Flemish Food Security Programme for 

the expansion of the programme over 3


638 

years targeting sensitive environmental 

areas — and includes homestead and 

community gardens. 

Awareness and capacity-building 

(4) 

workshops as well as information-sharing 

sessions are held on a regular basis 

with leadership, communities, prosecutors 

and magistrates. 

NEMPAA is the governing legislation. 

Specific sections include 50(5), 89 and 

Regulation 4(1)(c), (f), (g), (h), (i), 39, 

43, 45, 61. Penalties range from fines or 

imprisonment not exceeding five years 

or both. The actual costs of rehabilitation 

can also be recovered by civil 

means.

Decrease in abalone poaching 



(1) Whether there has been any decrease 

in poaching of the abalone resource 

since his decision to close the abalone 

fishery on 1 February 2008; if 



(2) whether he will reopen the fishery; if 



(3) whether he has made any progress in 

delivering on a social plan to alleviate


640 

the plight of abalone right-holders who 

are affected by the closure of the 

fishery; if not, why not; if so, what are 




(1) Yes. Statistics for the period February 

— July 2008, when compared with the 

same period last year, reveal that: 

● Incidents of abalone found abandoned 

decreased from 73 to 41; 

● Incidents where persons were found 

in possession of abalone increased 

from 34 to 41; and 

● The number of cases increased from 

73 to 85. 

These statistics suggest that the rate of 

detection has increased while the incidents 

of illegal harvesting of the resource 

have decreased. Intelligence 

also suggests that boat-based poaching 

has been significantly reduced from an 

average of 10 boats per week to one 

boat in the closed areas, with certain 

areas only reporting one incident per 

month. 

(2) The fishery will only be reopened when 

there is sufficient evidence to suggest 

that the resource has recovered to such 

an extent that the commercial harvesting 

of wild abalone is viable. 

(3) The Department has interacted with a 

number of government departments on 

the basis that a collective broad government 

intervention is required and that 

DEAT’s focus is limited to alternative 

sustainable livelihood options within 

the marine and coastal environment 

including opportunities in Aquaculture, 

Boat-based Whale Watching and White 

Shark Cage Diving.

Members appearing before court 

1427. Ms D KOHLER-BARNARD asked 


With reference to his replies to Question 

44 on 29 May 2008 and Question 924 on 

13 August 2008, how many of these 

members who appeared before the court 

(a) were found (i) guilty and (ii) not guilty 

and (b) had their charges withdrawn in (i) 

murder, (ii) rape, (iii) corruption and (iv) 

armed robbery? NW2170E 


RITY: 

(1) Criminal outcomes of criminal cases 

during the period 2006-01-31 to 2008- 

01-31 are as follows: 

(a) (i) Number of members found 

guilty: 108 

(ii) Number of members found not 

guilty: 60 

(b) Number of charges withdrawn in: 

(i) Murder: 8 

(ii) Rape: 23 

(iii) Corruption: 37

Vacant posts for Sheriff of the Court 



(a) How many (i) permanent and (ii) 

acting or temporary posts for Sheriff 

of the Court were (aa) filled and (bb) 

vacant in each court in each province 

on 25 August 2008, (b) how long has 

each vacant post been vacant and (c) 

how many (i) resignations and (ii) 

terminations for these posts have 

been received annually in each of the 

past three years? NW2214E 



(a) (i) 546 permanent posts 

(ii) 187 acting Sheriffs 

(aa) 359 posts are filled 

(bb) 187 posts are vacant. 

The acting appointments reflect the 

following:— 

● 161 retired Sheriffs have been reappointed 

as acting Sheriffs 

● 26 Sheriffs have been given additional 

areas to cover. 

The deliberate non-filling of vacant 

posts for the past three years was due 

to the following reasons: 

(i) An audit of the entire Sheriffs profession 

was commissioned to collate 

accurate and reliable data to guide


660 

the Government’s intervention to 

transform the Sheriffs sector. The 

Sheriffs sector has remained one of 

the least transformed sectors since 

1994. (The Sheriffs’ race and gender 

composition still reflects 74% white 

and 13% female); and 

(ii) The Regulations made by the Minister 

in terms of the Sheriffs Act, Act 

90 of 1986 (made before 1994), were 

not entirely consistent with the constitutional 

dispensation, for example 

they entrusted certain administrative 

functions (appointment and financial 

management tasks) to the magistrates. 

In terms of these Regulations, 

magistrates are accountable to the 

Director-General for the performance 

of these tasks. The Regulations 

had to be amended to ensure consistency 

with the separation of powers 

and judicial independence. 

Both the Regulations and the audit 

have now been completed. The 

Regulations will be published 

soon after they have been certified 

by the State Law Advisers and the 

vacant posts will be advertised and 

filled shortly thereafter. The 

memorandum to effect these farreaching 

changes is being processed 

at present for the Minister’s 

decision. 

(b) For the reasons given above, the 187 

vacant posts for Sheriffs have remained 

vacant for anything ranging from a 

short period to three years (since 2005). 

(i) (ii) 28 Sheriffs have resigned in the 

past three years. Six sheriffs resigned 

in 2006; ten Sheriffs resigned in 

2007, and twelve Sheriffs resigned in 

2008. 

Optrede teen sekere persoon 

1499. Mnr P J GROENEWALD (FF Plus) 

vra die Minister van Veiligheid en Sekuriteit: 

(1) Of daar enige optrede teen ’n sekere 

persoon (besonderhede verstrek) was 

nadat hy aan ’n strafregtelike oortreding 

skuldig bevind is; so nie, 

waarom nie; so ja, watter optrede; 

(2) of daar ingevolge artikel 36 van die 

Wet op die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens, 

Wet 68 van 1995, optrede teen 

hom oorweeg word; so nie, waarom 

nie; so ja, watter optrede; 


sal doen? NW2244A 

(Translation): 

[Action against certain person 



(1) Whether any action has been taken 

against a certain person (details furnished) 

after he was found guilty of a 

criminal offence; if not, why not; if 

so, what actions; 

(2) whether, in terms of Section 36 of the 

SA Police Service Act, Act 68 of 

1995, any action against him is being 

considered; if not, why not; if so, 

what action; 




RITY: 

(1) No. There is no need to take any 

disciplinary steps against the officer 

again. He has already been subjected to 

a SAPS disciplinary hearing at the 

instance where the matter was reported 

to Management. This was done while 

the criminal case was still being investigated 

before the Court could arrive at 

a finding. He was then given a verbal 

warning in terms of Regulation 9 of the 

SAPS Discipline Regulations, 2006. 

(2) Section 36 is only applicable if a 

member of the Service is convicted and


662 

(3) 

sentenced to a term of imprisonment 

without the option of a fine. 

No. 

Offices occupied by Firearm 

Registration Centre in Kempton Park 



(1) Whether he has been informed that 

the offices currently occupied by the 

Firearm Registration Centre in 

(2) 

Kempton Park fall short of the safety 

standards prescribed by the Occupational 

Health and Safety Act, Act 85 

of 1993; if so, (a) which requirements 

and conditions are not met and 

(b) by which date will they be met; 

whether the SA Police Service will 

be moved to other offices; if not, 


so, (a) when and (b) who will be 

responsible for ensuring that they are 

moved? NW2218E 


RITY: 

(1) The National Commissioner, as the 

Accounting Officer of the SAPS, is 

informed of significant findings made 

during inspections conducted at police 

premises, including the Firearm Registration 

Centre in Kempton Park. 

(a) Some of the requirements that 

were not met in terms of the 

regulation 27 are as follows: 

● Lack of fire-fighting equipment 

● Insufficient signage indicating 

escape routes 

● Evacuation plans 

Non-compliance with regulation 6 

(housekeeping matters) were: 

● Insufficient office space 

● The floors, walkways and walls 

not demarcated in terms of the 

Occupational Health and Safety 

legislation and South African 

National Standards (SANS) requirements. 

Non-compliance with regulation 9 

(fire precautions and means of 

egress) 

● No emergency keys to unlock 

emergency doors in case of fire. 

(b) Within the next three months. 

(2) The situation at present does not warrant 

such action; however, the notice 

was issued to ensure that matters of 

non-compliance are addressed. In this 

instance a comprehensive action plan 

has been developed to address these 

matters, and it will be carried out within 

the next three months. 

Crime stats furnished to community 

policing fora 



(1) Whether the SA Police Service no 

longer furnish crime statistics to 

various Community Policing Fora or 

crime combating fora; if not, why 

not; if so, how does this impact on 

the (a) purpose and (b) functioning 

of these fora; 

(2) whether members of such fora are 

briefed on the crime situation in the 

relevant sector and/or community; if 



(3) whether he will furnish unaudited 

statistics for the confidential use and 

planning of such fora; if not, why 




RITY: 

(1) For the past five years at least, the 

Minister for Safety and Security’s


664 

policy has been very clear that station 

commissioners should, as often as necessary, 

inform the community about 

developing trends without referring to 

statistics. Details of emerging new 

crime trends, increases and decreases in 

specific crime trends, areas where 

crime is rife (‘‘hot spots’’), peak times 

during which crime is committed, as 

well as modi operandi, should be provided. 

This needs to be done to enable 

the public to participate in preventing 

crime because they are more aware of 

it. Clearly, the CPFs are the partners of 

the SAPS in conveying this information 

to the public. Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 of 

the Minister’s Directive dated 26 May 

2003 read as follows: 

(3.1)‘‘In cases where stations and/or 

areas do operational planning in 

co-operation with partners (eg 

CPFs, neighbourhood watches, 

the SANDF, etc.) operational statistics 

shall also be utilized circumspectly 

for planning purposes. 

These statistics should, however, 

never be released outside the limits 

of the partnership prior to 

verification.’’ 

(3.2)‘‘The prerogative of the Station, 

Area, Provincial or National Commissioners 

to keep the public informed 

regarding threats/operations 

or other matters, without 

referring to statistics, is not infringed’’. 

(2) Members of community police forums 

are briefed on the crime situation in 

their area (station or sector) at their 

regular meetings. Briefings are conducted 

with due regard to participation 

at the meeting and the purpose of the 

information provided. 

(3) No. The reasons for this stays the same, 

namely: 

(3.1)Crime figures (N=values) for spe- 

cific crimes for specific stations/ 

areas over relatively short periods 

are so low that percentage increases/decreases 

can be very misleading. 

In Table 1, a few examples of 

monthly averages (N=values) for 

crimes at each station are given. 

Table 1 contains the monthly averages 

for cases of murder, aggravated 

robbery, house robbery and 

housebreaking (residential) for the 

stations ranked one, ten and 

twenty for each of the four crimes 

and the stations where 50% and 

80% of the respective crimes had 

accumulated. 

From this table it should be quite 

clear that, even if the figures for 

the station ranked tenth for the 

four crimes given in Table 1 were 

used, the average monthly figures 

are so low that even the addition or 

subtraction of a few cases would 

be misleading. At the station 

ranked tenth for cases of murder, 

namely Plessislaer, ten murders a 

month were reported. If a man 

decided to kill his family (four 

people) and then himself, the figure 

of ten would rise to 14 for that 

month, which is a 40% increase. If 

a similar comparison was made 

for Taung, the figure of 1 would 

increase to 5 (an increase of 

400%). If 15 house robberies were 

to be committed in Brooklyn by a 

certain gang every month, and a 

new gang started operating in that 

area and ten additional robberies 

were to be committed, it would be 

an increase of 66,7%. 

(3.2)From experience in the late 1990s, 

the SAPS has learnt that, if statistics 

at the level were issued regularly 

to the public, 2 operational 

analysis would be compromised. 

Members of the former Crime


666 

Information Analysis Centre 

(CIAC), now the Crime Intelligence 

Office (CIO), would be so 

busy responding to these enquiries 

that they would be unable to focus 

on their real objective, namely to 

do an operational analysis of 

crime information (including 

crime statistics). Over the past 

decade, crime statistics have become 

more politicised than ever 

and the public have become more 

fixated on crime statistics. If crime 

statistics were issued at shorter 

intervals at station level, the demand 

for releasing these statistics 

would be even higher than in the 

late 1990s. 

(3.3)The official statistics on the Business 

Intelligence System and GIS 

that the CIO analysed at station 

level have not yet been released. 

However, interim statistics are 

available online hourly. There 

might be differences, albeit small, 

between these statistics and the 

official Crime Management Information 

System (CMIS) figures 

contained in reports of the SAPS’s 

reports. These reports are also 

issued at station level on the Service’s 

website, www.saps.gov.za. 

The BI and GIS are linked to the 

Crime Administration System 

(CAS) which is updated as soon as 

new information is received. Once 

a month (on the 15th day of each 

month) statistics on the operational 

systems are downloaded 

onto the CMI. In the past, the 

crime statistics of the SAPS were 

released by the Minister for Safety 

and Security annually, but are now 

— since 2007 — released every 

six months. These statistics are 

also available on the website of 

the SAPS. 

If non-validated operational crime 

statistics were to be provided to 

the public at station level and the 

statistics were then later checked, 

verified and released on the website, 

it could lead to minor/insignificant 

differences being blown 

out of all proportion. This happened 

regularly in the media in the 

late 1990s.

QUESTIONS 


No fee schools 



(1) Whether any of the 500 no-fee 

schools have received their budget 

allocations from the department by 

30 June 2008, if not, why not; 

(2) whether her department has taken 

any action to ensure that these 

schools will receive their budgets as 

a matter of urgency; if not, why not; 




(1) At present there are over 13 000 ‘‘nofee’’ 

schools, and the vast majority of 

these received their school allocations 

in good time. 

(2) Without knowing which 500 schools 

are referred to in the question, I am 

unable to provide a response. 

Legal action by department 

1378. Ms S J LOE (DA) asked the Minister 


Whether her department has initiated or 

responded to any legal action since 

1 January 2003 up to the latest specified 

date for which information is available; if 

so, (a) who instituted the action, (b) who 

was the respondent, (c) what was the point

(1) Whether she has taken note of research 

indicating that plastic made of 

polycarbonate used in water bottles, 

food can linings and dental fillings 

release Bisphenol A (BPA), is believed 

to have harmful effects on 

animals and humans; if so, 

(2) whether she will require the labelling 

of plastic bottles to identify those 

containing polycarbonate and those 

free of the substance and the publication 

of the information contained 

on the label; if not, why not; if so, 

when? NW2338E 


(1) Yes, the research on Bisphenol A 

(BPA), a chemical building block for 

polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, 

has been taken note of by the Department 

of Health, including the views 

expressed that it is believed to have 

harmful effects on animals and humans. 

(2) No, the labelling of plastic bottles to 

identify those containing polycarbonate 

and those free of the substance is not 

currently required by the department 

and will also not be required. This 

decision is based on the findings of a 

recent draft safety assessment of 

Bisphenol A (BPA), done by the Food 

and Drug Administration (FDA) in the 

United States, which is consistent with 

two risk assessments for BPA conducted 

by the European Food Safety 

Authority (EFSA) Scientific Panel on 

Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing 

Aids and Materials in Contact with 

Food, and by the Japanese National 

Institute of Advanced Industrial Science 

and Technology. Each of these 

documented safety assessments considered 

the question of a possible lowdose 

effect and concluded that currently 

no health risk exists for BPA at the 

current low levels to which people 

might be exposed. The Department of 

Health will continue to closely monitor 

the progress and further outcomes of 

BPA safety assessment related research 

conducted globally, and will take appropriate 

action if and when necessary 

in future, based on the scientifically 

substantiated evidence provided by 

such research. In addition, the relevant 

legislation of the department aimed at


684 

protecting consumers regarding the 

matter in question currently stipulates 

that: ‘‘No package, wrapper, container, 

or appliance used in connection with 

food shall be of such composition or 

nature as to yield, or be liable to yield, 

to its food contents, or to food with 

which it comes in contact, any unwholesome,

this regard; if not, why not; if so, 

what action and when? 


NW2339E 

(1) We have taken note of research indicating 

that over-the-counter medication 

for coughs and flu eg those containing 

pseudoephedrine, have been found to 

be harmful and potentially lethal, particularly 

to children under the age of 

two. 

(2) We, in compliance with the provisions 

of the Medicine and Related Substances 

Act, Act 101 of 1965 have 

appointed a Medicines Control Council 

(MCC) which is mandated to register 

medicines for safety, quality and efficacy. 

In June 2008, the Department of 

Health, in consultation with the Medicines 

Control Council (MCC), issued a 

media statement advising the public on 

the use of cough and cold preparations 

in children (Advisory Statement issued 

by the Medicines Control Council is 

attached). The statement confirmed that 

the MCC has requested all manufacturers 

of coughs and flu preparations, 

irrespective of the active ingredients 

contained in the preparation to provide 

information to the MCC on the safety 

of the ingredients in preparations in 

children under the age of two years. 

The statement also warns the public 

against the use of cough and flu preparations 

in children. Some manufacturers 

have already taken steps to 

discontinue the use of their products in 

these young children. 

On the recommendation of the MCC, 

we also rescheduled all medicines containing 

the substance pseudoephedrine 

from over-the-counter status (S2) to a 

higher prescription-only status (S6). 

The rescheduling of these substances 

was implemented with the publication 

of Government Gazette Government 

Notice No 491 on 25 April 2008. 

TO: ALL MEDIA 

DATE: 27 JUNE 2008 

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

ADVISORY STATEMENT 

Safety of over-the-counter Cough and 

Cold Medicines in Children under 

Review 

The Medicines Control Council of South 

Africa (MCC) is currently investigating the 

safety of the over-the-counter (OTC) cough 

and cold medicines in young children (under 

two years old). 

This is in response to the international and 

local reports about serious life-threatening 

adverse events including unintentional overdoses 

when these products have been used in 

infants and toddlers under the age of two 

years.


686 

These cases have occurred as a result of 

incorrect dose or dosing frequency as well as 

the use of more than one cough and cold 

preparation at a time. In addition, cases of 

overdose occur when these medicines are 

not stored out of reach of children. 

In response to these concerns, the MCC has 

requested all manufacturers of these products 

to provide information on the safety of 

the ingredients in their preparations in children 

under two years. Some manufacturers 

have already taken steps to discontinue the 

use of their products in these young children. 

Once the MCC has reviewed all available 

information, regulatory actions will be taken 

to improve the safe use of cough and cold 

medicines in South Africa. 

While these investigations are under way the 

MCC urges parents and caregivers to heed 

the following warnings and advice before 

using cough and cold preparations in children: 

● Avoid the use of cough and cold medicines 

in children under the age of two years 

unless instructed to do so by a qualified 

doctor or pharmacist. A health care professional 

should be consulted even if the 

product information in the package insert 

or patient information leaflet allows the 

use in children under two years of age. 

● If it is necessary to give a cough and cold 

medicine, be sure to read the active 

ingredients carefully. These products often 

have many ingredients, therefore it is 

advisable not to give more than one cough 

and cold product to a child. If you use two 

different cough and cold medicines or a 

medicine for fever that has the same or 

similar active ingredients, the child could 

get an overdose which can harm the child. 

● Read the dosing instructions carefully to 

check that you are not giving a larger dose 

than is recommended. Also do not use the 

medicine more often than is recommended. 

● Ask a healthcare professional for advice 

if you have questions about these medicines 

or are not sure how to use these 

medicines properly. 

● Only use the measuring spoons or cups 

that come with the medicine or those made 

specially for measuring medicines. Do not 

use common household spoons to measure 

medicines for children because they are 

usually not accurate and can lead to 

incorrect dosing. 

● Choose OTC cough and cold preparations 

with childproof safety caps, when available, 

store these medicines out of reach of 

children. 

● It is important not to use these medicines 

to sedate your child or make children 

sleepy. 

● It is important to understand that cough 

and cold medicines do not treat the cause 

of the symptoms and do not shorten the 

length of time your child is sick. They only 

relieve symptoms and make children more 

comfortable. These symptoms can also be 

managed by rest, sufficient fluid intake and 

by making the child feel comfortable and 

comforted. 

● If symptoms persist beyond a few days or 

worsen, this may suggest a more serious 

problem that needs to be seen by a 

healthcare professional. In addition, if you 

are concerned about the health of the 

child, the child should be brought to a 

healthcare practitioner for medical evaluation. 

Parents and caregivers are urged to report 

any problems they experience when using 

medicines in children to their healthcare 

professionals.

Incidents of losses 

2007-08 Fruitless and 

wasteful expenditure 

Dismissals/Suspensions 

or sanctions imposed 

There were two incidents 

in Durban and Cape 

Town Regional Offices 

respectively. No dismissals 

made. 

In Durban Regional Office, 

the official attended 

a workshop and was recalled 

by the Regional 

Manager for operational 

purpose. The incident 

resulted in fruitless expenditure 

and an interest 

incurred as a result of 

dispute with service provider. 

In Cape Town Regional 

Office, Eskom submitted 

invoice late, and the region 

tried to dispute the 

interest portion did not 

bear fruitful result. The 

department wrote off the 

amount as the amount 

could not be recovered

more expenditure. 

(3) Yes, in Kimberly Regional Office 

where the official was dismissed.

for write offs depending on availability 

of funds. 

The department has monthly 

expenditure/budget meetings with all 

branches headed by the CFO. The 

purpose of the meetings is to ensure that 

the department does not over/under 

spend. 

R4 153,11 (Durban 

Regional Office) 

R575,40 (Cape 

Town Regional 

Office) 

ter’s Budget Vote in 2008. Both events 

were aimed at providing a platform for 

the Minister to engage with various 

audiences on issues raised in the speech 

to promote an understanding of South 

Africa’s foreign policy and the department’s 

work at large. The first event 

was a dinner which the Minister hosted 

on the day after delivering her speech 

on 13 May 2008. It was held at the 

Parliament’s Old Assembly Dining 

Hall where Members of the Portfolio 

Committee on Foreign Affairs, DFA 

Senior Management, Academics and 

Civil Society were in attendance. 

The second event was a live televised 

breakfast discussion hosted by the Minister 

on SABC Africa’s 180 Degrees 

Current Affairs show. This event allowed 

the Minister to explain issues 

raised in the speech and South Africa’s


718 

position on various issues. Guests invited 

included members of the Portfolio 

Committee on Foreign Affairs, DFA 

Senior Management, Academics, Civil 

Society, Tertiary and High School Students. 

This event was aimed at reaching 

a wider audience (the general South 

African populace and beyond) on issues 

they are not ordinarily exposed to. 

The live broadcast show allowed the 

department to reach audiences even 

beyond South African borders. 

(a) The events were held at Parliament’s 

Old Assembly Dining Hall 

and The Cape Town International 

Convention Centre (CTICC) a total 

amount of R109 140,60 was 

spent on both events. 

(b) The money was allocated from 

2008-09 budget from the Directorate: 

Marketing within the Chief 

Directorate: Public Diplomacy. 

(i) Food and Refreshments = 

R92 640,60 (Both events) 

(ii) Venue = included in the amount

List of recommendations by Harvard 

economists 



(1) Whether her department received the 

list of 21 recommendations made by the 

Harvard panel of international and local 

economists in its research papers on 

economic growth in South Africa, released 

in May 2008; if not, (a) why not 

and (b) when is it expected that the 

department will receive these recommendations; 

if so, 

(2) whether her department has implemented 



not; if so, (a) which recommendations 

and (b) what are the timeframe 

for each recommendation to be 

implemented? 


NW2094E 

(1) The International Panel on Asgisa, 

whose 21 recommendations are reported 

in the Working Papers: Centre 

for International Development at Harvard 

University (CID Working Paper 

No 161, May 2008), was neither convened 

nor commissioned by the Department 

of Health. The Report of the 

International Panel on Asgisa clearly 

indicates which government department 

commissioned it, and for which 

specific purposes. 

(a) The distribution of the Report of 

the International Panel on Asgisa 

is the prerogative of the government 

department that commissioned 

it. While the government of 

South Africa always works in unison, 

the Department of Health 

does not feel naturally entitled to 

the Report, as it was not commissioned 

by or for the health sector.


720 


(2) In the entire 18 pages of the Final 

Recommendations of the International 

Panel on Asgisa, there is no single 

reference to health, health care or 

health service delivery. 



Determination of Single Exit Price 



(1) (a) What criteria was used in determining 

the single exit price (SEP) (i) 

in 2004, (ii) in 2005, (iii) in 2006 (iv) 

in 2007 and (v) during the period 

1 January 2008 up to the latest specified 

date for which information is 

available and (b) what were the 

reasons for changing the criteria; 

(2) whether the SEP has been increased 

every year since 2004; if not, why 

not; if so, what was the average 

increase? 


NW2167E 

(1) (a) The SEP is the sum of the manufacturer 

price, logistics fee and 

VAT. 

(i) In 2003 manufacturer price less 

rebates, discounts and any other 

incentive scheme was used to 

determine the SEP. The logistics 

fee was reported by the 

manufacturer after negotiations 

with logistics service providers. 

(ii) The same criteria used in 2004. 

(iii) The same used in 2005. 

(iv) The same used in 2006. 

(v) The same used in 2008. 

(b) The criteria have never been 

changed since the Medicine Pricing 

Regulations define how the 

SEP must be calculated. 

(2) The SEP must be reviewed annually in 

terms of the Medicine Pricing Regulations. 

In 2005 the SEP increase could 

not be implemented due to the legal 

challenges against the regulations. The 

SEP increase calculated in 2006 took 

into account the 2005 period. The 

pharmaceutical industry suggested in 

their submission to the Pricing Committee 

that the 2007 SEP increase 

should be implemented at the same 

time as the international benchmarking 

process. Late in 2007 the industry 

withdrew this suggestion and wanted 

the SEP increase to be implemented. 

Hence the 2007 price was implemented 

in March 2008. 

Banned substance in foodstuff 



(1) Whether E127 colourant is a banned 

substance for food stuff; if not, what 

is the position in this regard; if so, 


(2) whether a certain product (name 

furnished) produced by a certain 

company (name furnished) was 

(3) 

found to contain E127 colourant in 

2008; if so, what legal action was 

taken against the producer; 

whether the public was informed in 

this regard; if not, why not; if so, (a) 

which media was used to inform the 

public and (b) when? 


NW2265E 

(1) No, Erythrosine BS, also referred to as 

E127, is currently permitted in terms of 

the colourants regulations published 

under the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and 

Disinfectants Act, Act 54 of 1972, 

(Annexure IV) for use in sugar confectionery, 

cocktail cherries, cherries in 

syrup and processed meat, but not in 

any other foodstuffs. The rationale for


722 

listing only the mentioned foodstuffs in 

which erythrosine may be used as a 

colourant is as a result of the Joint 

FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food 

Additives (JECFA), in their safety 

(2) 

evaluation of erythrosine, had allocated 

a very low Acceptable Daily Intake 

(ADI) to erythosine. The ADI is defined 

as the amount of a food additive that 

can be ingested daily in the diet without 

appreciable risk on the basis of all facts 

known at the time. It is expressed as 

milligram per kilogram bodyweight. 

The ADI for erythrosine is 0,1 milligram 

per kilogram bodyweight. This 

means that an average person (taken as 

60 kg) can maximally ingest 6 mg of 

erythrosine per day. For a child the 

maximum amount is even lower and a 

child weighing for example, 15 kg 

should not ingest erythrosine exceeding 

1,5 mg per day, hence the reason why 

the colourant is not permitted in foodstuffs 

normally consumed by children. 

Yes, the Department of Health became 

aware of the situation regarding the 

presence of the colourant E127 

(erythrosine) in the product, Nesquick 

strawberry milkshake manufactured by 

the company Nestlé in South Africa, 

through a notification received from the 

European Food Safety Authority 

(EFSA), after a consignment of the 

product was rejected for importation by 

the mentioned authority. The department 

immediately followed up with the 

manufacturer and it was established 

that the company misinterpreted the 

South African regulations related to 

colourants permissible in foodstuffs. 

The misinterpretation resulted from the 

company claiming that they considered 

sugar confectionery to include milk 

shake powders, such as Nesquick. 

This resulted in the illegal use of E127 

in the product in question. To prevent 

further misinterpretation in this regard, 

the Department of Health will ensure 

that a definition explaining clearly what 

sugar confectionery is be included in 

the relevant regulations published under 

the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants 

Act, Act 54 of 1972, in the 

near future. 

As a result of this contravention of the 

Colourant Regulations, the department 

instructed the company to institute an 

industry recall up to and including 

retail level in South Africa, of their 

product containing E127. Nestlé confirmed 

that the company’s withdrawal 

instruction was issued on 29 July 2008 

and by 1 August 2008 all shelves in 

stores were cleared of the stock and 

stored in their storerooms for return. 

About 200 tons were produced from 

week 17 (23 April 2008) up until week 

30 (21 July 2008). On notification by 

the Department of Health, all production 

was immediately stopped. Approximately 

117 tons of Nesquick 

Strawberry was distributed to the trade 

within this period. At the time of 

completion of the withdrawal, 58 tons 

were returned from the trade and destroyed 

immediately upon return to the 

warehouses. The balance of stock (approximately 

250 tons), under the control 

of Nestlé was blocked and 

quarantined immediately at the distribution 

centres and factory of the company 

and arrangements have been made 

for it to be destroyed by the end of 

September 2008. The provincial and 

local government health authorities 

were informed of the recall and requested 

to verify that the product had 

indeed been removed from the shelves 

within their areas of jurisdiction. 

(3) No, the department considered the 

steps taken by Nestlé as sufficient and 

due to the low risk associated with the 

consumption of foodstuffs containing 

E127 in general, as well as that it is 

permitted for use in certain foodstuffs, 

was satisfied that the matter was final-


724 

ised appropriately and that no further 

steps were deemed necessary in this 

regard.

Payments to members of 

International Panel on Growth 

1672. Dr D T GEORGE (DA) asked the 


(1) Whether any payment was made to 

(2) 

members of the International Panel 

on Growth; if not, what is the position 

in this regard; if so, (a) how 

much and (b) to whom; 

whether any further work will be 

undertaken by the panel; if not, why 


details? 

The MINISTER OF FINANCE: 

NW2449E 

(1) No direct payments were made to any 

members of the International Growth 

Advisory Panel (IGAP) except for 

travel, accommodation and subsistence 

costs. Payments were instead made to 

institutions supporting the work of the 

panel as a group, with the main agreement 

between the National Treasury 

and Harvard University (formally 

called the President and Fellows of 

Harvard College). This agreement 

stipulated a fixed fee for the research to 

be conducted by members of the panel 

based in the USA, and in addition made 

provision for payment of their actual 

costs incurred for travel, accommodation 

and subsistence during their five 

visits made to South Africa between 

January 2006 and June 2008. 

(a) The total direct expenditure for the 

South African government for the 

IGAP project is estimated at 

R15 769 349. This amount excludes 

possible funds from other 

projects which do not exclusively 

cover the IGAP project (eg two of 

the UK-based members are part of 

the Centre for Research into Economics 

and Finance in Southern 

Africa, based at the London 

School of Economics). The IGAP 

research includes a final report 

containing 21 specific recommendations, 

submitted in September 

2007, together with a set of 19 

final research papers and seven 

policy briefs. The report, policy 

briefs, recommendations and research 

papers were widely distributed

ments, Ministries and Parliament. 

They were also disseminated to 

the public via the media during 

May 2008, and public seminars in 

Johannesburg and Cape Town on 

17 and 18 June 2008 respectively. 

The largest component of the 

above total is the consulting fee 

of US$1 893 492 contractually 

agreed with Harvard College. This 

amount was paid to Harvard College 

in five instalments between 

January 2006 and September 

2007. These five installments 

amounted to R13 065 635. 

Travel and accommodation costs 

(mainly for the five group visits, 

and other individual visits made to 

South Africa) incurred by members 

of the IGAP in the execution 

of their contractual obligations, 

amounted to R2,1 million for 

travel and R400 468 for accommodation. 

Miscellaneous costs related 

to the panel’s visits to South 

Africa (internal transport costs, 

venue hire, catering and promotion 

of public seminars) amounted 

to R238 859. Included in the 

above costs are travel and accommodation 

costs of researchers 

from CREFSA and the School of 

Oriental and African Studies, 

whose research costs were not 

carried on the Harvard College 

contract. 

South African academics were 

also appointed in terms of individual 

contracts to perform a peer 

review function in respect of the 

research papers produced by the 

IGAP. They will continue to assist 

government in the ongoing assessment 

of the research. The total 

value of these contracts is 

R772 000, of which R147 341 has 

been disbursed to date. Their contracts 

terminate on 31 March 2009 

and further disbursements to them 

are envisaged. 

(b) The following international experts 

or academics contributed towards 

the IGAP: Ricardo 

Hausmann (Venezuela), Dani 

Rodrik (Turkey), Federico Sturzenegger 

(Argentina), Jeffrey 

Frankel (USA), Robert Lawrence 

(South Africa), Jim Levinsohn 

(USA) Philippe Aghion (France), 

Bailey Klinger (Canada), James 

Robinson (USA), Charles Sabel 

(USA), Daron Acemoglu (Turkey), 

Asim Khwaja (Pakistan), 

Matthew Andrews (South Africa), 

Abhijit Banerjee (India), Christopher 

Stone (USA), Steven Kelman 

(USA), Roberto Rigobon (Venezuela), 

Matias Braun (Chile), 

Sebastian Galiani (USA), 

Jonathan Leape (UK), Lynne Thomas 

(UK), Laurence Harris (UK), 

Johan Fedderke (South Africa), 

Ingrid Woolard (South Africa), 

Lawrence Edwards (South Africa), 

Ben Smit (South Africa), 

Stanley du Plessis (South Africa), 

Stephen Gelb (South Africa), 

Alberto Ortiz (Mexico). 

The following local academics 

were appointed through individual 

contracts to provide consulting 

services to the National Treasury 

on the project: Dave Kaplan 

(UCT), Johan Fedderke (UCT), 

Ingrid Woolard (UCT) Lawrence 

Edwards (UCT), Ben Smit (US), 

Murray Leibbrandt (UCT), 

Haroon Bhorat (UCT), Martin 

Wittenberg (UCT). Other local 

academics participated, particularly 

those in public sector institutions 

such as the SA Reserve Bank 

and IDC. 

It should be noted that generally 

the academics did not charge market-related 

rates for their partici-


730 

pation. It is also worth mentioning 

that this list is not exhaustive, 

given that academics collaborate 

extensively with many other colleagues 

when conducting their research. 

We have not collected 

information to this level of detail. 

(2) No further work is envisaged for the 

IGAP at this stage, because it has 

fulfilled all its contractual obligations 

to the National Treasury. The Harvard 

College agreement came into effect on 

1 January 2006 and ended on 30 June 

2008. Many members of the panel, 

however, will probably continue to 

work on issues covering South Africa, 

either at their own expense or through 

other projects. 

Separate contracts with South African 

academics only terminate on 31 March 

2009, and it is envisaged that they will 

continue to play a role in growth 

research. 

Government will fund local academics 

in both growth and other economic 

issues, via its funding of the Economic 

Research South Africa (ERSA), a research 

foundation which supports 

South African academics in conducting 

economic research. 

All the above research is funded under 

Programme 6 of the National Treasury 

budget.

Problems affecting Land Bank 

1741. Dr A I VAN NIEKERK (DA) asked 

the Minister of Finance: 

(1) Whether he has taken any steps to 

address the financial and operational 

problems affecting the Land Bank, 

including allegations of poor lending 

practices, wasteful expenditure and 

fraud as reported in the 2007-08 

Annual Report, if so what steps; if 

not why not; 

(2) whether any steps will be taken; if 

not why not; if so what steps? 

NW2526E 


(1) I have instructed the Land Bank to 

develop a turnaround strategy to address 

the financial and operational 

problems affecting the Bank. This entails: 

● The clean-up of the Bank that addresses 

the issues raised by both the


732 

Auditor-General such as the qualified 

report, and external auditors. The 

clean-up also includes the ongoing 

investigations into issues around 

governance in the Bank. 

● The stabilisation of the Land Bank 

seeks to improve its finances and 

operations. This entails the stabilisation 

of IT systems and processes; 

acquisition of requisite skills for the 

Bank’s turnaround strategy; strengthening 

of the Bank’s funding through 

diversification of funding sources; 

and, strengthening of the Bank’s 

balance-sheet. 

(2) While I have been briefed about the 

developments, I expect the board to 

provide me a detailed report in November 

2008.

QUESTIONS 


Carbon footprint 



(1) Whether he will ensure that his 

department (a) monitors and (b) reduces 

its carbon footprint with immediate 

effect; if so, how will this be 

done; 

(2) whether this will include the phasing 

out of glossy publications from all 

agencies or councils reporting to 

him; if not, what is the position in 


details; 

(3) (a) what is the estimated cost of all 

such (i) reports and (ii) publications 

per annum in the case of these 

agencies and all other working documents 

of his department and (b) what 

kinds of (i) energy are being used in 

the offices of his department and (ii) 

energy saving measures are being 

implemented in these offices? 

NW1217E 


(1) The Department of Labour will actively 

start to monitor and reduce its carbon 

footprint with immediate effect. The 

following measures will be considered: 

● Changing the procurement policy of 

the department to only allow for the 

procurement of energy efficient 

equipment — eg printers, copiers, 

computers, etc. 

● By actively addressing the energy 

consumption of the department — 

obtain the figures of consumption of 

both electricity and liquid fuels and 

then instructing the facilities managers 

to actively manage the reduction 

of energy consumption, by training, 

making sure that all equipment is 

switched off when not in use and 

replacing old inefficient equipment 

with new technology eg LED bulbs 

and LED tube lights. Where lights 

can only be switched off per corridor 

and not per office, motion detectors 

will be installed. 

● Establishing fixed procedures for recycling 

of paper, computer equipment, 

glass, and plastic. 

● Implementation of a paperless work 

environment — where only final 

documents will be printed, scanned 

and filed electronically. 

(2) The required steps will be taken by the 

department as well as its public entities 

to minimise the use of glossy publications 

when and if required. 

(3) The department does not make use of 

glossy publications and therefore there 

are no financial implications 

(a) (i) Not applicable. 

(ii) Not applicable. 

(b) (i) Electricity 

(ii) All staff is obligated to switch 

off all electronic and electrical 

equipment at the end of business 

each day, including the 

lights in all offices.

Reporting of notifiable diseases 



Whether her department is developing a 

system for the reporting of notifiable 

diseases; if not, how is data on such 

diseases being collected; if so, (a) when 

did this process commence, (b) when will 

it be completed, (c) what steps have so far 

been taken and (d) what will this system 

entail? NW2221E 


No. The current notification disease data 

is collected through a passive surveillance 

system where the health information officers 

or data capturer receives reports 

submitted from hospitals, clinics, public 

health units, or other sources. The National 

Department of Health is responsible 

for the operation and the enforcement of 

the National Health Act, Act 61 of 2003. 

This is the principal legislation ensuring 

that all health care professionals from 

both the public and private health sectors 

notify the 33 Notifiable Medical Conditions. 

The notification system data is 

administered and captured at district/provincial 

level then sent to the NDOH 

through the Directorate: Epidemiology 

and Surveillance for quality assurance, 

validation, analysis and interpretation. 

The Notifiable Medical Conditions are 

subdivided into two categories according 

to type of disease: 

Category 1: requires an immediate notification 

to the Department of Health by 

telephone (Tel. 012 — 312 0750) or Fax 

012 312 0815 upon initial diagnosis (presumptive 

or confirmed) with written notification 

form (GW17/5) to follow within 

48 hours. We currently receive laboratory 

confirmation through the NHLS and National 

Institute for Communicable Diseases 

reporting systems once an index 

case has been identified. 

Category 2: that requires a written notification 

(GW17/5) only, within five days of


742 

diagnosis. This data is captured through 

the District Health Information notification 

system. The data is then imported and 

merged for analysis and interpretation. 

Monthly notification reports are compiled 

at the national office directorate Surveillance 

and Epidemiology. 

(a) For the past 30 years the department 

has been collecting Notifiable Medical 

Conditions data. 

(b) There is no new notification system that 

is being established. The current offline 

DHIS 1.4 notification system will be 

upgraded into an online notification 

system once the bandwidths are available 

in all the provinces. 

(c) The department is currently developing 

a framework and operational strategy to 

co-ordinate and integrate all existing 

disease surveillance including the notifiable 

disease notification system at 

national, provincial and district levels. 

Mining of sand dunes 

1529. Mr M J ELLIS (DA) asked the 


Whether she considered the comments of 

the Department of Environmental Affairs 

and Tourism (DEAT) on the (a) scoping 

report and (b) environmental management 

plan in the proposed mining right application 

for the Xolobeni Mineral Sands 

project; if not, why not; if so, how did the 

DEAT submission inform her or her department 

to grant the mining right to mine 

in this area? NW2274E 


ERGY: 

(a) The minister must, in terms of section 

40(1) of the MPRDA, when considering 

an Enviromental Management 

Plan/Enviromental Management Programme 

in terms of section 39, consult 

with any state department which 

administers laws relating to matters 

affecting the environment. 

(b) The minister considered comments 

(c) 

submitted by DEAT on the scoping 

report and environmental management 

plan before a decision to grant the right 

was taken. 

In considering DEAT’s comments, the 

minister broadly interrogated the definition 

of environment as defined in the 

National Enviromental Management 

(d) 

Act, and arrived at a decision to grant 

considering: 

● The nonexistent and depressed 

economy of the area. 

● The social-economic baseline: a 

huge need for poverty alleviation. 

● The environmental degradation 

over which plans to rehabilitate 

have been made and financially 

provided for. 

Finally the minister invoked the provisions 

of section 48(2)(c) of the Minerals 

and Petroleum Resources Development 

Act, 2002, and came to a 

conclusion that this mining operation is 

of National Interest and the granting the 

right will substantially expand opportunities 

for the historically disadvantaged 

communities to enter and benefit from 

exploitation of the mineral resources 

and will promote economic growth. 

Protest against mining in Wild Coast 



(1) Whether certain people (details furnished) 

are dividing people in the 

Wild Coast area against mining the 

area; if so, (a) who are these people 

and (b) how did she reach this 

conclusion; 

(2) whether the mining for titanium and 

other minerals will proceed in the 

area; if not, why not; if so, what is the 

position in this regard? NW2275E


744 


ERGY: 

(a) Mr Fred Kockott’s article is allegedly a 

translation of what the minister said in 

IsiXhosa into English. In this regard it 

is not possible to say with certainty 

whether the translation was accurate. 

(b) The minister can at this stage neither 

deny nor confirm the translation version 

by Mr Kockott. 

Sand dune mining rights 



(1) What will happen to the Xolobeni 

sand dune mining right should a 

certain company (name furnished) 

be liquidated; 

(2) whether there is a mortgage, security 

or surety over the right in such an 

event; if not, what is the position in 




ERGY: 

(1) The question is hypothetical and preempts 

an action that has not occurred. 

The DME is neither in a position to 

pre-empt nor anticipate liquidation of a 

holder of a right and will deal with the 

liquidation of the company/holder only 

when the action comes, into place. 

(2) No application/notification has been 

submitted to the minister to mortgage/ 

encumber (in a form of security of 

surety) the mining right in terms of 

section 11(3) of the MPRDA. 

Terms agreed on between parties 



Whether his department will make the 

agreed terms available which have been 

concluded between the South African 

Export Development Fund and Mineral 

Resource Commodities Resources and/or 

Transworld Energy and Mineral Resources 

(SA) (Pty) Ltd (TEM); if not, why 

not; if so, what are the relevant details? 

NW2297E 


TRY: 

(a) South African Export Development Fund 

is not a state-owned entity resorting under 

the Department of Minerals and Energy, 

therefore the department is not in a position 

to confirm the existence of such an agreement. 

Employment of nurses and doctors 



(1) Whether there is a procedure 

(2) 

whereby (a) nurses and (b) doctors 

are employed by clinics and hospitals 

in the public service; if not, why 

not; if so, (i) what is the procedure 

and (ii) who (aa) advertises the posts, 

(bb) interviews applicants, (cc) selects 

employees and (dd) dismisses 

staff in each case; 

(a) what is the number of vacant 

posts currently recorded for (i) 

(3) 

nurses and (ii) doctors in (aa) each 

province and (bb) the entire public 

service and (b) why is there a moratorium 

on employment of staff in 

certain provinces; 

whether the process of employment 

and dismissal could be simplified to 

reduce the number of vacancies for 

nurses and doctors; if not, why not; if 


NW2340E 


(1) (a) and (b) Yes. 

(i) The procedures are contained in Part 

VII of the Public Service Regulations, 

2001 under the title ‘‘Proce-


746 

dures for appointment, promotions 

and termination of service’’. 

(aa) Every province has its own 

policy in this regard. Post 

may be advertised on provincial 

level or at health facility 

level, depending on the level 

of the post. 

(bb) Selection panels are constituted 

to conduct interviews. 

(cc) Selection panels submit their 

recommendations to the appropriate 

delegated authority 

for approval at provincial or 

facility level depending on 

the nature of the appoint-

ment. Each province has its 

own policy in this regard. 

(dd) Each province deals with its 

own dismissals based on the 

provisions prescribed in the 

Disciplinary Code and Procedures 

for the Public Service 

as contained in Public Service 

Co-ordinating Bargaining 

Council Resolution No 2 

of 1999. 

(2) (a) (i) and (ii)(aa) The table below 

reflects the situation in this regard. The 

data does not reflect posts that were

(a) (bb) The information is not available, 

but the majority of health professionals 

are employed in provincial 

departments of health. 

(b) Many provinces are facing significant 

over-expenditure on their personnel 

budgets in the current financial year 

and are unable to fill noncritical vacancies. 

(3) No. The state as employer is obliged to 

comply with the regulatory framework 

regarding employment and dismissal of 

employees. There is also no evidence 

that suggest that recruitment and dismissal 

procedures are contributing to 

the relative large number of vacancies.

(2) No, this company has not undertaken 

any evaluation of service. SARS conducts 

its own evaluations, bench- 

(3) 

marking against other administrations 

and OECD standards. In addition a 

major diagnostic was undertaken in the 

past on the tax services and another in 

respect of customs by the WCO. 

(a) and (b) Tax Season 2008 is going 

well. For the first time this year, the 

annual Tax Season campaign comprised 

two elements: The first part was 

in respect of employers who were 

required to submit their PAYE reconciliation 

declaration and copies of all 

employee tax certificates (IRP5/IT3(a)) 

within a 60-day period between 1 July 

and 29 August. The second part is in 

respect of the submission of income tax 

returns by individuals, corporates,


754 

trusts and exempt institutions according 

to staggered deadlines. 

Progress report: 

● Tax Season for Employers: By 

30 September 2008, 226 228 employers 

out of a total of 250 000 

active on the register had submitted 

EMP501 reconciliation declarations 

accompanied by 14 294 962 employee 

tax certificates. This represents 

an increase of over 20% 

compared to 2007. 

● Tax Season for Individuals: A number 

of enhancements have been introduced 

this year to the process of 

income tax return submission. The 

most significant of these have been 

the introduction of pre-populated income 

tax returns for employees 

whose employers have provided their 

tax certificate information. A second 

key change has been the requirement 

for taxpayers to order a customised 

income tax return containing only 

those income and deduction sections 

relevant to the taxpayer’s unique 

circumstances. Taxpayers are able to 

request a tax returns in four ways: 

o Via mail: A letter was sent to 

all taxpayers who submitted 

manual returns in 2007 explaining 

the process this year 

and providing them with a 

form to request their 2008 

income tax return. 

o Via phone: A new toll-free 

call centre number (0800 00 

SARS) was introduced on 

1 September which allows 

taxpayers to order a tax return 

by following automatic 

voice prompts. 

o Via a branch: Taxpayers can 

visit any SARS branch along 

with their relevant tax information 

where a return can be 

issued and completed for 

them. 

o Via eFiling: Using eFiling, 

taxpayers can construct their 

own unique income tax return. 

While we are only one month 

into the current campaign, 

indications are that taxpayers 

are responding well to the 

changes. 

● eFiling: The growth of eFiling as a 

preferred channel of submission among 

both tax practitioners and taxpayers 

continues to exceed expectations. Following 

the introduction of eFiling for 

individual income tax returns in 2006 

when approximately 30 000 taxpayers 

adopted it, this service grew to over 

1 000 000 returns submitted via eFiling 

in 2007 and we are on track to issue 

over 1 500 000 returns issued in respect 

of 2008. Equally encouraging was the 

adoption of eFiling and the free SARS 

software known as e@syFile by employers 

to submit their EMP501 declarations 

and employee tax certificates. 

Over 90% of these were submitted 

electronically to SARS this year. 

Anticipated problems in respect of current 

tax year (2008): There are no significant 

problems anticipated during Tax Season 

2008. Two challenges have presented themselves 

to date in the campaign — both 

related to the submission of employee tax 

certificate information by employers to be 

used to pre-populate the income tax returns 

of employees. Pre-populating employees’ 

income tax returns requires three key things: 

● Accurate information about the tax and 

deductions of employees. 

● Up-to-date personal information on certificates 

so we can match them to 

taxpayers. 

● The provision of this information before 

taxpayers request their returns.


756 

Due to the implementation of changes to the 

process this year, a number of businesses 

and practitioners requested additional time 

to meet this requirement. In response, the 

deadline for submission was extended by 14 

days until 12 September 2008. This resulted 

in a knock-on effect in terms of which the 

electronic channels of return issuing and 

submission of individual income tax returns 

(eFiling and our branch system) were also 

postponed by the same period (although 

manual channels were available as planned 

from 1 September). 

In respect of accuracy of information, some 

tax certificates SARS have received did not 

contain a tax reference number or had 

different ID numbers or names to those on 

SARS’s records. Others show no records at 

all. This has impacted on the ability of SARS 

to pre-populate all employee income tax 

returns. Currently we anticipate being able 

to pre-populate approximately 75% of all 

employee income tax returns. The remainder 

will receive blank returns and follow the 

same process of completion and verification 

as in 2007. 

Anticipated problems in respect of 2009 tax 

year: The past two years (2007 and 2008) 

have seen significant changes to the income 

tax return process aimed at improving the 

efficiency and effectiveness of this process 

for SARS and all its stakeholders (taxpayers, 

employers and practitioners). These have 

required a change in behaviour by all parties. 

The fundamental changes are now in place 

and it is anticipated that the 2009 tax year 

will provide an opportunity for stakeholders 

to gain in confidence and experience in the 

new process. 

Emigration of health specialists 



Whether the Health Professions Council 

of South Africa has any figures on how 

many (a) doctors, (b) nurses, (c) dentists 

and (d) medical specialists have emi- 

grated in each of the three most recent 

years for which information is available; 


details? 


NW2422E 

(a), (c) and (d) The Health Professions 

Council of South Africa (HPCSA) does 

not have information with regards the 

number of doctors, dentists or medical 

specialists that have emigrated as that 

information is never submitted to 

(b) 

HPCSA. Many practitioners work outside 

SA but keep their registration up to 

date in South Africa as they are either 

studying further or getting experience 

abroad but would return to South Africa 

in two or more years. 

The SA Nursing Council (SANC) does 

not have any knowledge or statistics of 

the exact number of nurses leaving 

South Africa to work in other countries. 

Nurses are not required to inform the 

SANC if they are migrating to another 

country. 

However, nurses intending to work in 

another country are expected by the 

host country to provide verification of 

registration and qualifications from the 

SANC. A nurse cannot work in a 

foreign country unless he/she has registered 

with the Statutory Nursing Body 

of that country to practise as a nurse. In 

order for a South African nurse to 

register with a foreign nursing council, 

she/he has to apply to the SA Nursing 

Council to verify his/her present qualifications. 

The SANC verifies the registration 

status and may provide 

transcript of qualifications to the Foreign 

Nursing Council. The outcome of 

this application is not communicated to 

the SANC but to the individual nurse 

who made the application. The SANC 

therefore can only comment on the 

number of applications received for 

verification of a qualification and not 

whether the nurse is successful in


758 

his/her registration with the foreign 

Nursing Council or if he/she leaves 

South Africa to work in a foreign 

country. 

Statistics on verification of Qualifications 

and Registration of a Nurse for the 

purpose of registration with Nursing 

Council in a foreign country: 

2005: 1 530 

2006: 986 

2007: 845 

2008: 656 (up till September) 

Regulation of LPG 



(1) Why is the price of liquid petroleum 

gas not regulated similarly to that of 

fuel and oil prices; 

(2) whether she intends to intervene in 

the price establishment of LP Gas; if 

not, why not; if so, to what extent; 

(3) whether she will make a statement 

on the matter? NW2445E 


ERGY: 

(1) The price of liquefied petroleum gas 

(LPG) is not regulated at retail level 

like petrol mainly because of the fol- 

lowing two reasons: 

(i) in the domestic sector, it was 

mainly a commodity used for leisure 

purposes by the affluent communities 

of this country; 

(ii) it was largely used by commercial 

customers who, because of their 

purchasing power, are deemed to 

be able to negotiate appropriate 

prices for themselves. The price of 

LPG is however, regulated at the 

refinery gate. 

(2) Yes, the Minister of Minerals & Energy 

stated publicly in her 2008 Budget Vote 

speech that current high LPG prices 

have compelled the department ‘‘to 

investigate an appropriate and cost 

effective way to deliver LPG to our 

people hence our decision to embark on 

pilots in partnership with municipalities 

in Tshwane and Thembisile’’. The 

intention is to regulate the price of LPG 

to the same extent as the petrol price is 

regulated up to retail level. 

(3) The final Regulations will be promulgated 

in the Government Gazette and 

published in our website in the usual 

manner. I will make announcements to 

that effect as normal.

Electric-driven motor cars 

1768. Mr J P I BLANCHÉ asked the 

Minister of Science and Technology: 

(1) (a) To what extent has research been 

done by the National Research Foundation 

(NRF) and his department to 

establish the economic feasibility of 

financing the power supply for electric-driven 

motor cars from the national 

grid and (b) what is the 

estimated additional annual electricity 

capacity required to supply the 

proposed conversion to electric- 

(2) 

driven motor vehicles on roads; 

whether his department has been 

requested to research the feasibility 

of having to supply such a market; if 

so, what are the relevant details; if 

not, 

(3) whether he will support such a study 

to be initiated to establish whether a 

market of electric cars can be sustained 

with the present capacity of 

electric produced by Eskom; if not, 


details;


772 

(4) whether he will request the Council 

for Scientific and Industrial Research 

(CSIR) or any other state organisation 

reporting to him, to investigate 

the quality of energy efficiency of 

electric appliances, equipment and 

machines marketed locally in order 

to ensure that more energy efficient 

appliances and machines are used; if 

not, what steps are his department 

taking to assist the government to 

regulate the more efficient use of 

electricity; if so, what are the relevant 


The MINISTER OF SCIENCE AND 

TECHNOLOGY: 

(1) (b) Optimal Energy has done extensive 

research to determine that 

there is sufficient capacity available 

to power its vehicles, as this 

is one of the building blocks of the 

business case. 

(b) Optimal Energy’s research findings, 

based on electricity demand 

patterns in South Africa, confirm 

that no extra electricity capacity is 

required to supply the proposed 

conversion to electric-driven vehicles 

on South African roads. 

(2) As indicated above, this has been done. 

In its recent Annual Report, Eskom 

shows a current installed capacity of 

about 38 000 MW, with the demand for 

electricity approaching this level during 

peak times. The peak demand is 

traditionally between 07:00-10:00 and 

18:00-21:00, with lowest demand for 

power between 22:00 and 06:00. During 

off-peak times the demand drops to 

approximately 24 000 MW, which 

leaves an excess capacity of 12 600 

MW. 

This excess capacity is enough to 

charge approximately 12,9 million vehicles 

every night. This is based on an 

annual travel distance of 20 000 

kilometres and an upper quartile esti- 

mation of 150 watt hours of electricity 

usage per kilometre travelled. This is 

significantly more than the 9,2 million 

registered vehicles that are currently on 

South African roads. It is evident that 

Eskom has sufficient excess capacity to 

supply electricity for the purpose of 

charging electric vehicles during offpeak 

periods. 

(3) Given that the average number of vehicles 

on South African roads increased 

by 3,2%, annually between 2000 and 

2005, this and the 9,2 million registered 

vehicles in 2008 as a base figure to 

predict the vehicle growth figures, there 

will be an estimated 13,4 million vehicles 

on our roads in 2020. 

If 20% of these are electrical, which is 

an optimistic scenario; it means that 

there will be only 2,6 million electrical 

vehicles on our roads in 2020. This is 

approximately a factor of five less than 

what Eskom’s current excess capacity 

can handle. These calculations do not 

take Eskom’s plans to double its capacity 

to 80 000 MW by 2025 into account. 

(4) A preliminary study commissioned by 

the South African National Energy 

Research Institute (SANERI) has indicated 

that there is a need to regulate the 

quality of energy efficiency of electric 

appliances as there are wide variations 

in power consumption levels in appliances 

with the same functionality and 

capabilities. The large variations indicate 

that there is scope for effective 

minimum energy performance standards 

to eliminate poor performing 

appliances. While it was limited in 

scope, this study is being used to 

inform the labelling of appliances. 

There is also an energy efficiency (EE) 

working committee that has been established 

within the South African Bureau 

of Standards (SABS) in order to coordinate 

standardising of the quality of


774 

energy efficiency of electric appliances, 

equipment and machines that are marketed 

locally as well as internationally. 

EE has also been identified as one of the 

themes for the SABS Expo, earmarked 

for 29-31 October 2008.

action? NW2078E 



(a) Upon his resignation Mr Jones cited 

certain reasons for his resignation. The 

Minister for the Public Service and 

Administration is looking into the matter, 

and as the hon member is aware, the 

Portfolio Committee had agreed with 

the Minister that he would brief the 

committee on this matter. This did not 

happen as planned due to changes in the 

parliamentary programme. The Minister 

will revert to the hon member as 

soon as the investigation is completed. 

The Minister wishes to give the assurance 

that this matter is being fasttracked. 

(b) When the Minister is afforded the

SECURITY: 

(1) Yes. A disciplinary investigation was 

conducted and the disciplinary hearing 

was concluded on 2 December 2004.


784 

The officer was found guilty of two 

contraventions of the South African 

Police Service (SAPS) Disciplinary 

Regulations and sanctioned to a fine of 

R400 and remedial counselling. 

The criminal matter was finalised on 

30 June 2008. The officer was found 

guilty of theft and sanctioned to three 

years’ imprisonment suspended for a 

period of five years on condition that 

he was not found guilty of theft or 

attempted theft during the period of 

suspension. 

In view of the criminal conviction, the 

SAPS immediately convened a Board 

of Enquiry. The Board has commenced 

and been postponed until 23 October 

2008 to establish whether the officer is 

still fit to remain in the employ of the 

SAPS. In the event that he is found to 

be still fit for employment, the Board 

must further determine whether he is fit 

to retain the rank of captain. 

(2) No.

department have been employed as 

consultants in the abovementioned 

financial years; if so, (a) why and (b) 

why did each such person leave her 

department? NW2189E 


SECURITY: 

(1) (a) (i)-(iii) The total cost within the 

expenditure category: Consultants, 

Contractors and special services, 

was R130,908 million for 

the 2005-06 financial year, 

R227,488 million for the 2006-07 

financial year and R222,445 million 

for the 2007-08 financial year. 

(b) A name list cannot be provided at 

this stage as it will require some 

programming to extract the information. 

(c) to (d) To provide a perspective on 

the extent and significance relative 

to the context of the question, it is 

deemed appropriate to provide the 

following information: 

● A new Standard Chart of Accounts 

(SCOA) synchronised 

with a new Economic Reporting 

Format was introduced with effect 

from the 2004-05 financial 

year. The SCOA contains the 

classification of items according 

to classification standards. The 

SCOA, therefore, comprises the 

coding of items used for classification, 

recording and reporting 

within the accounting system. 

Different classification regimes 

were harmonised in the chart. 

The chart caters for data dissemination 

as determined by the 

National Treasury. 

● The design principles of the new 

reporting tables inter alia allow 

for the grouping of transactions 

based on their nature. One such 

grouping of items included in 

the annual report (page 145 of 

the 2005-06 financial year and 

page 156 of the 2006-07 financial 

year. The annual report for 

the 2007-08 financial year is 

still to be tabled in Parliament)


786 

is Goods and Services, of which 

‘‘Consultants, contractors and 

special services’’ is a sub-classification. 

● The full complement of this 

sub-category and accompanying 

description can be indicated as 

follows: 

— Goods and services 

— Consultants, contractors and 

special services (2005-06: 

R130,908 million/2006-07: 

R227,488 million/2007-08: 

R222,445 million) 

Consulting services refer to 

specialist services and skills 

provided that are required for 

the achievement of a specific 

objective, with the aim of providing 

expert and professional 

advice on a time and material 

basis. It is unnecessary to maintain 

these skills in-house, since 

they are required on a once-off 

or temporary basis. Therefore, a 

consultant is a professional person 

appointed by the department 

to provide technical and 

specialist advice or to assist 

with the design and implementation 

of projects/programmes. 

The legal status of this person 

can be an individual, a partnership 

or a corporation. The fact 

that a consultant is defined as a 

professional person implies that 

the consultant is professionally 

qualified. The provision of advice 

or service is in line with a 

contractual arrangement (usually 

commissioned on a project 

basis). Remuneration is usually 

based on an hourly fee or a fixed 

fee for a product/deliverable. 

Contractors, on the other hand, 

are required to provide services 

that are of a current and nonspecialised 

nature, that are not 

core business of the department. 

It is normally not cost-effective 

to maintain these skills within 

the department, eg cleaning services. 

— The major sub-categories as utilised by 

the SAPS, are the following: 

● Accountants and auditors (2005-06: 

R13,395 million/2006-07: R15,321 

million/2007-08: R13,921 million) 

A distinction should be made between 

fees paid for the audit and fees paid for 

other services. Audits of departments 

are performed by the Auditor-General 

or by a firm of auditors on behalf of the 

Auditor-General. That firm may not 

render other services to the department, 

unless prior approval of the Auditor- 

General has been obtained. Accordingly, 

any fees paid to firms that also act 

as auditors, but not to the department, 

would be included under the heading of 

consultants and advisory services, in 

particular where, for example, the internal 

services have been outsourced. (Example: 

Internal Audit firm appointed) 

● Financial, advisory and management 

consultants (2005-06: R82 thousand/ 

2006-07: R1,933 million/2007-08: 


Management consulting services/advisory 

services are those professional 

services provided to management by a 

management consulting services practitioner 

and which typically involves 

some combination of the following 

activities in relation to the functions of 

management: 

(1) Identifying and investigating 

(2) 

problems and opportunities concerned 

with policy, organisation, 

procedures and methods 

Providing advice and recommend-


788 

ing appropriate actions or programmes 

(3) Helping to implement actions or 

programmes 

(4) Monitoring the results of actions 

or programmes that have been 

implemented. (Example: Facilitation 

of workshop) 

● Engineering: Mechanical (2005-06: 

R3,811 million/2006-07: R25,129 million/2007-08: 


Costs incurred for services rendered by 

persons with skills to develop/build/ 

reconstruct highly specialised mechanical 

equipment. These professionals 

must be registered at an appropriate 

recognised institution in order to work/ 

operate in their specific specialised 

fields. (Example: Mechanics at local 

workshops) 

● Health: Private medical services (2005- 

06: R2,828 million/2006-07: R1,489 


Costs incurred in providing medical 

care by consultants/other service providers 

responsible for the general wellbeing 

of the bodies and minds of SAPS 

employees. (Example: Nurses at police 

colleges) 

● Personnel and labour (2005-06: 

R84,556 million/2006-07: R72,350 



persons with skills in training/assisting 

personnel in addressing specific needs 

and problems in the workplace and 

improving general happiness, efficiency 

and productivity. This includes 

psychological services, skills development 

workshops, etc. (Example: Cleaning 

services/day labourers, special 

escorts and matrons) 

● Investigation of crime (2005-06: 

R25,010 million/2006-07: R33,934 


This category still requires acknowledgement 

by the National Treasury in 

the new reporting structure, i e separate 

classification owing to the nature of 

transactions involved. (Example: Police 

actions) 

● Reservists (2005-06: No expenditure 

incurred/2006-07: R66,906 million/ 

2007-08: R84,408 million) 


reservists. 

● In terms of Public Service Regulation 

J.3, Part III: Planning, Work Organisation 

and Reporting of Chapter 1 of 

the Public Service Regulations, 2001, 

a consultant means ‘‘a natural or 

juristic person or a partnership who 

or which provides, in terms of a 

specific contract on an ad hoc basis, 

any of the following professional 

services to a department against 

remuneration 

source: 

received from any 

(a) The rendering of expert advice; 

(b) The drafting of proposals for 

the execution of specific tasks; 

and 

(c) The execution of specific tasks 

that are of a technical or intellectual 

nature, but excludes an 

employee of a department’’. 

● Further, a consultant — 

● is not regarded as a public 

Service employee in 

terms of the criteria set 

out in the labour laws; 

● does not include any 

person appointed on a 

fixed term contract 

against 

post; 

an approved


790 

● is an independent contractor 

working as a consultant, 

or 

● is an independent labour 

broker providing con- 

(2) 

sultants to departments. 

● The above include items for 

the 2005-06, 2006-07 and 

2007-08 financial years such 

as: 

— Mechanical services 

— Cleaning services 

— Internal audit 

— Day labourers, special escorts 

and matrons, etc. 

In absence of a universally accepted 

definition regarding consultants per se, 

and if the aforementioned is taken as 

demarcation, the viewpoint is held that 

the Department of Safety and Security 

has none or at least very few consultants. 

Yes. 

(a) The primary objective towards the 

appointment of one former employee 

as a consultant during the 

2007-08 financial year was to 

optimise the structuring and organisation 

of the department, to 

strengthen the capacity to combat 

organised crime as well as to 

improve the effectiveness of policing 

and crime combating at local 

level. 

(b) The services of the employee was 

terminated as a result of early 

retirement. 

Inspection of police stations 



(a) How many police stations in each 

province (i) were inspected for com- 

pliance in accordance with the Occupational 

Health and Safety Act, Act 

85 of 1993, in each of the past three 

years and (ii) were assessed as (aa) 

compliant and (bb) noncompliant, 

(b) what were the findings for each 

police station in terms of each regulation 

in the Act, (c) what standard 

procedures are followed if a station 

is assessed as being noncompliant in 

terms of the Act and (d) what action 

has been taken to date to ensure 

compliance at each of the stations 

that were assessed as being noncompliant?

(bb) Noncompliant should not be 

interpreted as totally noncompliant. 

During an evaluation 

it might be found that only 

one aspect out of a number of 

aspects is not in place and then 

that station is indicated as noncompliant, 

although it might be 

90% compliant in real terms,

(d) The following actions have been taken 

to ensure that police stations are compliant 

with the relevant regulations: 

● Repairs and renovation are executed 

whenever the need arises. 

● Buildings are being remodelled to 

become more accessible to people 

with disabilities. 

● Regular inspections are held. 

● On-the-job workshops and training 

are given. 

● An electronic SHE programme with 

guidelines are downloaded at the 

particular workplace as a reference 

and to provide guidance. 

● Follow-up inspections by the National 

and Provincial SHE Management. 

It must be noted that the status of 

these police stations are not constant 

and changes daily, therefore the totals 

provided in this report will also 

not remain constant.

crime commissioned by his department 

on behalf of the Justice, Crime 

Prevention and Security cluster, was 

put out to tender; if not, why not; if 

so, (a) which organisations tendered, 

(b) on what basis was the Centre for 

the Study of Violence and Reconciliation 

(CSVR) chosen and (c) what 

has been the financial costs of the 

undertaking (i) in total and (ii) paid

NW2292E 


SECURITY: 

(1) The research into violent crime was not 

put out to tender. However, the sole 

supplier route was utilised. 

(a) Only the Centre for the Study of 

Violence and Reconciliation tendered. 

(b) The CSVR is, by designation,


798 

currently the only organisation 

that has specialised in the study of 

violence for the past decade and a 

half. Throughout this period, the 

organisation has been an innovator 

in preventing violence, dealing 

with its effects and in building 

reconciliation in South Africa 

through its research and outreach 

programmes. Furthermore, it is 

dedicated to conducting ‘‘actionoriented’’ 

research. It is the only 

organisation that boasts the capacity 

to undertake various kinds of 

violence-related studies and these 

include: political, criminal, domestic, 

gendered, vigilante and 

state violence. The organisation 

employs specialist researchers 

who, among others, include psychologists, 

sociologists, political 

scientists, historians, lawyers, criminologists 

and community 

development practitioners as a 

means to address violence from 

a multi-disciplinary perspective. 

The CSVR also boasts to have 

profound knowledge and has publications 

in the JCPS Cluster

Abduction of children 



(1) Whether any (a) children and/or (b) 

adults were reported (i) missing, (ii) 

kidnapped or (iii) abducted (aa) in 

2005, (bb) in 2006, (cc) in 2007 and

for which information is available; if 

so, (aaa) how many and (bbb) in 

which province in each case; 

(2) whether any of these cases (a) went 

to court, (b) went to trial and (c) 

ended in a successful conviction; if 

so, how many in each case? 

NW2428E 


SECURITY: 

(1) (a) and (b)(i) Missing 

The number of children and adults 

reported missing from 2005/2006/ 

2007 up to 31 August 2008, per 

province, are indicated on the attached 

table. 

(ii) and (iii) Kidnapped and abducted 

The required information is not 

readily available. To obtain the 

information would be time consuming 

and would necessitate the 

redeployment of police personnel 

to verify every case docket relevant 

to the period in question. 

The redeployment of personnel to


802 

carry out this task would be to the 

detriment of other essential duties 

and service delivery to the community. 

(2) (a), (b) and (c) Missing 

A missing person (and reported as 

such to the SA Police Service) 

does not constitute a crime at the 

time and on the date of such a 

report. These cases are, therefore, 

registered as enquiries and will 

only be converted to criminal 

cases if and when it is suspected 

that a crime has been committed, 

which in most cases will be when 

such a person reported missing is 

found or if investigations into such 

a case prove that there might be 

foul play involved. The investigation 

of cases of missing persons 

are, therefore, concluded as soon 

as the person or the person’s body 

is found. If it is suspected that a 

crime took place, investigations 

into the criminal aspects will commence 

and the enquiry will be 

converted into a case docket. The 

Information on missing children and adults 

(1) (a) (i) Children reported missing: 

‘‘case’’ of a missing person will 

therefore never go to court nor go 

on trial and no conviction will take 

place. The investigation of cases 

of missing persons can, therefore, 

be seen as a humanitarian service 

the SA Police Service renders to 

the community. A missing person 

must first be found before any 

assessment can be made whether 

or not he or she was subjected to 

any criminal activity. The only 

exception to the above will be if a 

ransom demand is received soon 

after the person went missing; if 

an eyewitness makes a statement 

concerning the forceful removal 

of the missing person from the 

place he or she usually moves 

around in; or when a court-appointed 

custodian of a child reports 

that the noncustodial parent 

did not return the child on the 

agreed time and is not found at his 

or her usual place of residence.

QUESTIONS 


Financial misconduct in PSC 



(1) Whether her department has implemented 

any measures to deal with 

the problems of financial misconduct 

identified by the Public Service 

(2) 

Commission (PSC) in the 2005-06 

financial year (details furnished); if 

not, why not; if so, (a) what measures 

and (b) what are the reasons for the 

high number of cases reported in the 

PSC report for the 2006-07 financial 

year; 

what were the reasons in each case 

for withdrawing the charges in respect 

of 43 cases out of the 179 that 

were reported; 

(3) (a) how many (i) of the other 136 

cases where charges were not withdrawn 

have been finalised and (ii) 

departmental officials have been (aa) 

charged with and (bb) found guilty of 

financial misconduct and (b) what 

action was taken against those who 

had been found guilty? NW858E 



(1) (a) Yes, my department has implemented 

measures to deal with 

problems of financial misconduct 

as identified by the Public Service 

Commission. Checking officials 

have been sent on training programmes 

to ensure compliance 

with financial prescripts. In addition, 

a retention programme has 

also been implemented to retain 

experienced officials. 

(2) I would like to inform the member that 

there were actually 197 cases reported 

to the PSC for the 2006-07 financial 

year of which 49 were withdrawn. 

These cases were thoroughly investigated 

by my department and the reasons 

for their withdrawal include a lack 

of evidence or where cases were reported 

to the police, the investigations 

were finalised or closed without success. 

(3) (a) (i) There were 148 cases where 

charges were not withdrawn. 

All of these cases have been 

finalised. 

(ii) (aa) There were 148 officials 

who were charged with 

financial misconduct. 

(bb) There were 94 officials 

who were found guilty of 

financial misconduct. 

(b) These officials either were dismissed, 

demoted, issued with final 

written warnings and/or suspended 

without pay. 

Role of person in arms deal 



(1) Whether, with reference to the criminal 

investigations that were undertaken 

into the Strategic Defence 

Procurement Packages or arms deal, 

any further investigations will be 

made into the role of a certain 

person* (name furnished); if not, 



(2) whether, with reference to paragraph 

C 3 of the 15th Report of the 

Committee on Public Accounts on 

the Joint Investigation Report into 

the Strategic Defence Procurement


814 

Packages, dated 11 December 2001, 

there are any further criminal investigations 

into the arms deal pending 

or currently under way; if not, what 

is the position in this regard; if so, 

what are the relevant details of the 

(a) suspects, (b) alleged offences and 

(c) progress of the investigations? 

NW1297E 

*Name of person referred to: Mr Chippy 

Shaik. 



(1) The DSO preparatory investigation and 

the investigations concerning aspects 

of the arms deal and authorised in terms 

of section 28 of the NPA Act remain 

ongoing. It is not the policy of the DSO 

to comment on ongoing investigations 

or the suspects involved. 

(2) See (1) above. 

Arms deal: four corvettes 



(1) Whether, with regard to the arms 

deal investigation into the four corvettes, 

the Directorate of Special 

Operations (DSO) has approached 

her department for mutual legal assistance 

(MLA) with German investigators; 

if so, what is the nature, 

scope and obligations of the MLA 

agreement; 

(2) whether the DSO entered into any 

MLA agreements with criminal investigative 

bodies from other countries 

that are conducting investigations 

similar or relevant to the 

ones taking place in South Africa; if 






(1) No. It appears that the member is not 

familiar with the legal framework 

(2) 

which applies in this regard. The law in 

South Africa in respect for Mutual 

Legal Assistance (MLA) is that, the 

Central Authority of the requesting 

country, writes to the Central Authority 

in South Africa for an MLA. In South 

Africa the central authority is the Director-General: 

Department of Justice 

and Constitutional Development. The 

latter then considers whether or not the 

requirements as set out in the International 

Co-operation in Criminal Matters 

Act, 1996 have been met and then 

acts in terms of the law in the further 

processing of the matter. 

Mutual Legal Assistance is a framework 

in terms of which states can assist 

each other in the investigation of criminal 

cases. This framework is based on 

the Treaty on International Co-operation 

in Criminal Matters Act, 1996. In 

this regard, requests are made by the 

Central Authority of the requesting 

country to the Central Authority of the 

requested country for assistance in the 

investigation of facts that are detailed 

in the request itself. The request is 

forwarded to the requested country 

through diplomatic channels. 

I am advised that the DSO does not 

have MLA agreements with criminal 

investigative bodies from other countries. 

In any case the law does not 

permit for such eventuality. MLA 

agreements can only be concluded between 

States and not investigative bodies. 

However, it is not uncommon for 

investigative bodies to conclude Memoranda 

of Understanding to facilitate 

general co-operation between them. 

This is however different to an MLA for 

co-operation. The latter has a formal 

legal status and has to comply with the 

provisions of the International Co-operation 

in Criminal Matters Act, 1996.

QUESTIONS 


Day-care centres for the disabled 


of Social Development: 

(1) Whether he has been informed that 

people with disabilities who attend 

partially subsidised disability day 

care centres have 75% of their disability 

grants deducted; if so, 

(2) whether he intends intervening in 

this regard; if not, why not; if so, 


NW2263E 


MENT: 

(1) No, the Minister has not been informed 

because officials in the department are 

not aware of this practice. 

Regulation 22(1) states that, if a beneficiary 

of an older person’s disability or 

war veteran’s grant is admitted to an 

institution that has a contract with the 

state to care for and maintain such a 

beneficiary, the relevant social grant 

must be reduced to an amount equal to 

25% of the maximum amount of the 

social grant with effect from the first 

day of the fourth month following the 

month of the beneficiary’s admission to 

that institution. Therefore, partially 

(2) 

subsidised day care centres are excluded 

from this provision. 

The Minister of Social Development 

shall, on receipt of detailed information 

pertaining to the abovementioned practice, 

investigate the issue. 

Distinction between grants 



(1) (a) What is the distinction between a 

disability and a care dependency 

grant, (b) what are the criteria for 

granting each grant, (c) when were 

the criteria approved, (d) what documentation 

must applicants submit 

with their application for these grants 

and (e) what is the estimated time 

from receipt of an application for

MENT: 

(1) (a) Yes. There are various programmes, 

facilitated by state departments 

and nongovernmental 

organisations, aimed at preventing 

people from using and/or abusing 

substances including heroin, 

which is sometimes referred to as 

‘‘sugars’’. 

Department of Social Development 

plays a leading role in the 

implementation of the government’s 

anti-drug campaign (‘‘Ke 

moja: No thanks I’m fine without 

drugs’’) targeting the youth, parents 

and educators. This programme 

is aimed at preventing the 

abuse of substances. It promotes


838 

healthy life style and makes provision 

for skills development. 

(b) Yes. Currently there are five public 

and 80 registered private treatment 

centres offering treatment 

programmes to persons affected 

and/or abusing substances such as 

heroin etc. 

(2) Yes. The South African Community 

Epidemiology Network on Drug Use 

(SACENDU) conducted a study in 

2006-07 on the levels of substance 

abuse in the country. The study indicated 

that there is a sharp increase in 

patients admitted for treatment for 

heroin use in Durban. The proportion of 

patients who reported heroin as their 

primary substance of abuse increased 

from 2% to 32% between 2006 and 

2007 in Pietermaritzburg and Durban. 

(3) Yes. Durban, particularly Chatsworth 

has the high rate of heroin abuse. Heroin 

is also abused in other parts of the 

country under different names. Often 

heroin is mixed with cannabis (dagga). 

In Mpumalanga heroin mixed with 

dagga is called ‘‘pinch’’and in Pretoria it 

is called ‘‘nyaope’’. The street name for 

heroin mixed with dagga is called

Recommendations made to ICD 



(a) How many recommendations (i) have 

been followed, (ii) have not been followed 

and (iii) are still pending with regard to 

each of the 1 334 recommendations made 

by the Independent Complaints Directorate 

to the SA Police Service for the period 

1 April to 31 December 2007, with regard 

to (aa) deaths, (bb) criminal offences and 

(cc) misconduct and (b) what are the 

relevant details in each case? 

NW1735E


848 


SECURITY: 

(a) During the period 1 April 2007- 

31 December 2007, a total of 1 273 

recommendations were made to the 

South African Police Service (SAPS) 

management. These recommendations 

were directed to the stations where the 

incidents happened and/or the member 

involved was stationed. 

(aa) On the 204 recommendations 

made in respect of death: 

(i) 47 recommendations have 

been followed; 

(ii) 64 recommendations have 

not been followed or acted 

upon; 

(iii) The decision on 93 recommendations 

are still outstanding. 

(bb) On the 451 recommendations 

made in respect of criminal offences: 

(i) 78 recommendations have 

been followed; 

(ii) 192 recommendations were 

not followed; 


are still pending. 

(cc) On the 618 recommendations 

(b) 

made in respect of misconduct: 

(i) 137 recommendations were 

followed; 

(ii) 255 recommendations were 

not followed; 


are still outstanding. 

The details of the cases would be 

common depending on the class of the 

complaint — in respect of deaths (Class 

1), the police member involved, would 

be charged for their role in the death of 

an individual as far as his/her actions 

violated the discipline regulations of 

the South African Police Service 

(SAPS) or Standing Orders. The same 

scenario would apply in respect of 

criminal offences while with misconduct 

the police member would be 

charged for a direct violation of SAPS 

Disciplinary Code or Standing Order, 

which action does not flow from any 

criminal action. 

Explanatory note to member 

The information provided in answering 

the question is correct. The calculation 

that the question was based on was 

incorrect. The actual total should have 

been 1 273 and not 1 334 as in the slide 

of the presentation that was presented 

in Parliament, which Question 997 was 

based on. So the figures are correct but 

the final figure of 1 334 is wrong as it 

should have been 1 273.

MCC investigation into Bitter Orange 



Whether the Medicines Control Council 

has conducted any investigation into or 

taken any action against any products sold 

as alternative medicines containing the 

product Bitter Orange; if not, what is the 

position in this regard; if so, what are the 

relevant details of (a) such investigations 

and/or (b) action? NW2120E 


Bitter Orange, also known by its scientific 

name — Citrus aurantiumth contains the 

substance Synephedrine, which brings about 

stimulation similar to ephedra. The Minister 

of Health, on recommendation of the Medicines 

Control Council (MCC) has resolved, 

by publication in the Government Gazette 

No. 491 of 25 April 2008 that all ephedra 

alkaloids (natural or synthetic) intended for 

oral use (except when indicated for treatment 

of colds and flu containing not more 

than 30 milligrams of ephedra alkaloids per


852 

dose and in a maximum pack size of 720 

milligrams) be listed as a Schedule 6 substance. 

This implies that these medicines 

may only be sold in a pharmacy on a 

prescription from a medical practitioner. 

Ephedra is a permitted food constituent 

which allows alternative medicine distributors/manufacturers 

to sell the product as a 

herb containing supplement. Currently 

complementary/alternative medicines are 

not regulated, however, the Minister of 

Health has published complementary medicines 

comprehensive regulations in the Government 

Gazette No 31334 of 22 August 

2008 which will endeavour to regulate the 

different disciplines of complementary 

medicines including herbal medicines. 

In the interim, the MCC has embarked on an 

awareness campaign advising the public on 

the use of ephedra-containing medication 

and its rescheduling, particularly as a slimming 

agent. The Department of Health is 

following up with the complementary medicine 

industry on the rescheduling of 

ephedra-containing products. 

MCC reports withheld 



Whether any of the experts who conduct 

testing/analysis of any drugs at the Medicines 

Control Council withheld their reports 

(a) in 2006, (b) in 2007 and (c) 

during the period 1 January 2008 up to the

happen, (ii) what were the reasons for the 

reports being withheld, (iii) how many 

reports were withheld, (iv) what was the 

name of each product and (v) how was the 

situation resolved? NW2166E 


Neither my Department nor I are aware of 

reports that were withheld by experts of the 

Medicines Control Council.

2009. 

(d) (i) The bucket backlog in informal 

settlements has not been quantified 

in this programme as it was targeting 

buckets in formal areas only. 

(ii) The target date for the provision of 

all basic services, with specific refer-


854 

ence to water supply, sanitation services, 

electricity and the upgrading 

of informal human settlements has 

been set for 2014. The emphasis is on 

an integrated approach when delivering 

these services as they are not 

mutually exclusive, for instance, 

reaching the sanitation target is dependent 

on making rapid progress 

with the proclamation and upgrading 

of informal settlements. Therefore, 

the upgrading of the informal settlements 

will be done through the 

housing delivery programme, whilst 

the relevant sector departments and 

Water Services Authorities will ensure 

that the necessary services like 

water, sanitation and electricity is 

integrated in the delivery process and 

achieved by 2014.

QUESTIONS 


Agreement signed between companies 



(1) Whether the process that took place 

prior to the signing of the initial 1998 

agreement between two companies 

(names furnished) met all the constitutional 

requirements of transparency, 

fairness and competitiveness; 

if not, 


the person or persons failing to 

comply with any legislation and/or 

regulations or directives regarding 

the alienation of land and buildings 

owned by one of the companies 

(name furnished); if not, why 


details; 

(3) whether the other company (name 

furnished) still exists; if not, why 

not; if so, who were the directors at 

the time when the 1998 agreement 

was signed? NW2517E 


PRISES: 

(1) No, it did not. The Public Finance 

Management Act was legislated but 

was not yet in operation when the latter 

agreement was finalised. It should be 

noted that this agreement was the result 

of a process dating back to 1998 within 

the context of the objective to give life 

to the economic development of the 

Eastern Cape. In particular, the potential 

for mixed use development of port 

land as recogised and encouraged by 

the Burggraaf Commission in 1980 and 

Parliamentary endorsement of the es- 

(2) 

tablishment of the port of Coega, were 

clear indicators as to the role that 

Transnet could play in the promotion of 

economic development in the Eastern 

Cape region. 

The present management has investigated 

whether or not any action was 

taken against any persons who may 

have failed to comply with the requirement 

concerning obtaining Ministerial 

approval. Transnet’s enquiry has not 

been able to reveal whether any steps 

were taken against such persons. It has, 

however, been noted that the employment 

contract with the then Managing 

Director of Portnet (a division of 

Transnet Limited) was terminated with 

Transnet, 

1999.

Benguela Current Commission 



(1) (a) When was the Benguela Current 

Commission (BCC) first instituted 

and (b) what was its purpose; 

(2) whether the work of the BCC was 

found to be effective since it was 

instituted; if not, why not; if so, what 

are the relevant details on which his 

conclusion is based? NW2592E 



(1) (a) The Benguela Current Commission 

(BCC) Agreement was signed 

by the Ministers of the Republic of 

South Africa, Namibia and Angola 

in August 2006. The first Management 

Board Meeting was held in 

(b) 

April 2007 and the first Ministerial 

Conference held in July 2007. 

The BCC was established to manage 

transboundary impacts on the 

Benguela system, such as environmental 

variations (South Africa’s 

responsibility), migratory fish 

(2) 

stocks (Namibia) and pollution 

threats (Angola). 

The BCC has only recently become 

operational, with the appointment of 

the Executive Secretary. Other officebearers 

will soon be appointed and 

thereafter the Commission will be fully 

operational. The BCC will also only 

become fully supported after the establishment, 

early next year, of the second 

phase of the Benguela Current Large 

Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) and Norwegian 

funding for research (around 

R70 million over five years) have been 

released.

Engineers developing plan for MEPUs a team from our Macroeconomic Policy 



(1) Whether the engineers who helped a 

certain group of companies (names 

furnished) to develop a countrywide 

manufacturing plan aimed at addressing 

poverty and joblessness 

(details furnished) presented this 

plan to the Macroeconomic Policy 

Unit (MEPU) of his department; if 


regard; if so, (a) when and (b) what 

was the MEPU’s response to this 

plan; 

Unit in early 2005 to discuss an industrial 

plan titled ‘‘The Job Creation Blue 

Print’’. Mr Wood’s blue print proposed 

the development of factories that manufactured 

walls and other building materials 

for the construction of houses, 

classrooms and other types of buildings. 

Mr Wood also submitted a proposal 

to the Minerals and Manufacturing 

Technology Department of 

the CSIR. Nowhere in Mr Wood’s plan 

does it say that he developed the plans 

for the firms mentioned. The plan 

presented to the National Treasury was 

not endorsed by these firms and re- 

(2) whether the government has implemented 

measures to support this 

manufacturing plan; if not, why not; 


flected an idea that could be effected if 

funding were available as well as determining 

the institutions and individuals 

that could be involved. 

(3) 

(4) 

whether the MEPU undertook in 

2005 to evaluate this manufacturing 

plan and report back to the government; 


this regard; if so, what were the 

outcomes of the evaluations; 

whether the MEPU rejected this 

manufacturing plan; if so, on what 

basis? NW2654E 

(2) To my knowledge, government has not 

implemented measures to support the 

plan proposed by Mr Wood. The exact 

details on the why this was not done 

will have to be asked of the Department 

of Trade and Industry. The National 

Treasury does not have direct involvement 

in industrial development and 

assessment of industry plans nor do we 

fund private initiatives that have not 


been endorsed by the DTI as National 

Programmes. In a letter addressed to 

(1) Yes, a Mr Greville Wood of Greville Mr Wood in 2003, the Minister of Trade 

Wood Developments (GWD) met with and Industry raised questions regarding


892 

the practical implications of the blue 

print. In addition, Mr Wood was advised 

to consult with the industries 

involved. 

(3) In a letter addressed to Mr Wood in 

May 2005, I indicated that I would refer 

his proposal to our Macroeconomic 

Policy Unit for evaluation. I did not, 

however, say that I would prepare a 

report back on this matter to government. 

Having referred the proposal, the 

Macroeconomic Policy Unit met with 

Mr Wood to discuss the plan. The 

evaluation was based on what was 

contained in Mr Wood’s written proposal 

and concluded that the plan was 

still at an early stage of development — 

the factories that he was referring to did 

not exist and the viability of the idea 

had not been tested in the South African 

market. Mr Wood wanted to pilot the 

plan, which is something that the National 

Treasury does not deal with. 

(4) The Macroeconomic Policy Unit did 

not reject the plan as it was not their 

mandate to do so. Their function focuses 

on assessing the economic impact 

of government programmes. This was 

indicated to Mr Wood and he was 

advised to test his idea in the market 

with other entrepreneurs, engineers and 

financial experts that would be better 

placed to test and ascertain the viability 

of his idea.

QUESTIONS 


Finansiële skade gely deur TSDBF 



(1) Of die Transnet Tweede Vastevoordeelfonds 

(TSDBF) finansiële skade 

gely het as gevolg van (a) swak 

bestuur deur die raad van trustees en 

(b) regeringsbeleid ten opsigte van 

beleggingsvoorskrifte vir die Transnet 

Pensioenfonds; so ja, wat die 

tersaaklike besonderhede is; 

(2) of sy departement die Transnet-bestuur 

gaan versoek om die trustees 

van die fonds te magtig om die reëls 

van die fonds te wysig om sodoende 

’n groter as 2% groei per jaar in 

pensioene te kan realiseer; so nie, 

waarom nie; so ja, wat die tersaaklike 

besonderhede is; 

(3) of sy departement die bepaalde pensioenfonds 

gaan finansier sodat ’n 

groter persentasie as die 2% statutêre 

vergoeding in pensioene toegestaan 

kan word; so nie, waarom nie; so ja, 

wat die tersaaklike besonderhede 

is? NW2538A 


[Losses suffered by SDBF 



(1) Whether the Second Defined Benefit 

Fund (SDBF) has suffered financial 

losses as a result of (a) poor management 

by the Board of Trustees and 

(b) government policy regarding investment 

directives for the Transnet 

Pension Fund; if so, what are the 


(2) whether his department will request 

the Transnet management to authorise 

the trustees of the fund to amend 

the rules of the fund in order to 

realise a growth rate exceeding 2% 

per year in pensions; if not, why not; 


(3) whether his department will fund this 

specific pension fund so that a larger 

than the 2% statutory remuneration 

in pensions can be granted; if not, 


details? NW2538E] 


PRISES: 

(1) (a-b) The fund is controlled by a Board 

of Trustees and not Transnet. However, 

Transnet is not aware of any financial 

losses suffered by the TSDBF due to 

poor management by the Trustees of 

the TSDBF or investment directives 

from government. 

(2) Rule 9(1) of the Pension Fund Rules 

provides that the Board of Trustees 

may, with the approval of the Managing 

Director and the Minister, acting in 

concurrence with the Minister of Finance, 

prescribe the manner in which 

the award of benefits shall be considered 

by the Fund. Changes to the rules 

are initiated by the Board of Trustees. 

The Department of Public Enterprises 

cannot therefore request Transnet 

management to authorise the trustees 

of the fund to amend the rules. In 

July 2007, the Department and Transnet 

took various steps to improve the 

financial position of pensioners and 

Fund beneficiaries, which included the 

amendment of the fund rules (with the 

Minister’s approval and the concurrence 

of the Minister of Finance) to 

include a bonus payment to supplement


896 

a pensioner’s annual income. The fund 

trustees have the discretion to pay the 

bonuses depending upon the Fund’s 

financial performance, affordability 

(3) 

and other considerations. 

In terms of section 2 of the Transnet 

Pension Fund Act, the fund is vested 

with its own legal personality which is 

distinct from Transnet or the department. 

The mandate of the department is 

to provide shareholder oversight over 

the state-owned enterprises, it is therefore 

not within its mandate to fund the 

pension fund.

Fifa Soccer World Cup 



(1) Whether the co-ordination of the 

2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup between 

government and the local 

organising committee has been effective; 

if so, (a) how did he arrive at 

this conclusion, (b) how is this coordinating 

body structured and (c) 

who in his department is responsible 

for ensuring that transport logistics 

are properly planned and delivered 

timeously; 

(2) whether this incumbent has the 

necessary management team to- 

(3) 

gether with appropriate specialist 

skills available to him/her; if so, 


whether he has considered appointing 

a specialist advisor to his office to 

deal with and advise him of day-today 

matters pertaining to the technical 

and programmed management of 

the event; if not, why not; if so, what 


(4) whether, in terms of the Transport 

Action Plan of April 2006, the recommendation 

for the identification 

and appointment of specialist skills 

and the need for securing both local 

and international resources have 

been met; if not, why not; if so, what 



(1) (a) and (b) The co-ordination between 

the Department of Transport (DoT) 

and the Local Organising Committee 

(LOC) has functioned very well 

to date. The co-ordinating body 

was established in accordance with 

the LOC/Fifa guidelines on the 

2010 transport serving concept. 

The DoT is fully represented in all 

the transport structures of the LOC, 

and the LOC is also represented in 

the departmental structures, which 

are the Transport Sector Co- 

(c) 

ordinating Forum, Land Transport 

Task Team and the Aviation Sub- 

Sector Task Team. 

The Department of Transport has 

seconded Mr S Macozoma, who is 

a Chief Director for Integrated 

Infrastructure Network Development, 

Branch: Integrated Planning 

and Intersphere Co-ordination, to 

ensure that transport logistics are 

properly planned and delivered 

timeously. The incumbent has the 

requisite technical expertise and 

qualifications which formed the


910 

basis of such secondment to deal 

with transport infrastructure and 

logistics for the event. 

(2) The official referred to above works 

closely with the 2010 World Cup Unit, 

which currently has a Director and 

three (3) Deputy Directors as incumbents. 

The recruitment process for the 

other Director position is in its final 

stages. The 2010 World Cup Unit is led 

by the acting Deputy Director-General, 

Branch Integrated Planning and Intersphere 

Co-ordination. 

(3) 

The 2010 World Cup preparations are 

not the responsibility of a single unit, 

but of all the branches in the Department 

of Transport. The preparations are 

co-ordinated at senior level. 

A tender for Programme Management 

of the 2010 event was recently advertised 

and is currently being adjudicated. 

(4) The Department of Transport’s Management 

Services, which oversees the 

human resources and capacity development 

units, has been tasked with the 

development of a 2010 Skills Plan, 

which will be assessing the transport 

skills requirements of the event, both 

nationally and within host cities. It will 

also include an intervention plan to be 

implemented by the Department, TETA 

and the host cities. The plan will be 

presented at the next MINMEC 

scheduled to be held in November 

2008. 

Training for Grade R teachers 



Whether her department has any (a) training 

programmes for Grade R teachers and 

(b) public awareness programmes aimed 

at encouraging parents to register learners 

for Grade R programmes in public 

schools; if not, why not; if so, what are the 



(a) Yes, the DoE has training programmes 

for Grade R teachers. Most teachers are 

being trained as part of the NPDE 

programme. Some provinces have 

(b) 

made agreements with institutions of 

higher learning in their areas to provide 

training programmes for the teachers. 

All current teacher development initiatives 

include Grade R practitioners. 

Yes, the multi-media information campaigns 

conducted every year to remind 

parents to register their children (for all 

grades) for the next academic year 

includes Grade R learners. 

PSETA report 



(1) Whether he has received the Public 

Service Sector Education and Training 

Authority (PSETA) report (copy 

furnished); if not, why not; if so, 

(2) whether he has taken any action in 

relation to the findings of this report; 

if so, (a) what action and (b) against 

whom; if not, why not; 

(3) whether he will take any action; if 


relevant details? 


NW2601E 

(1) I have not received a copy of the 

PSETA Memorandum as furnished 

from your office and I want to thank 

you for bringing it to my attention. 

As for the PSETA annual report for the 

2007-08, the entity has not submitted 

their audited financial statements and 

report to me as required in terms of the 

PFMA. I have formally raised my 

concern with the entity’s Board in a 

letter dated 19 September 2008, regarding 

their failure to meet the said deadline 

and requesting an indication of the 

necessary steps in terms of section 51


912 

(2) 

of the PFMA against any employee 

who may have led to the contravention 

of the provisions of this Act. 

I have not yet taken any action regarding 

matters raised in the report as we 

are still busy conducting our internal 

investigation and consulting with our 

legal advisors including DPSA on some 

aspects of the Memorandum. 

(3) I will certainly act on the outcome of 

our internal investigation including the 

advice from my legal team. 

Skills development programmes 



(1) Whether his department has (a) a 

skills development programme, (b) 

career pathing, (c) a policy on travel 

allowances and (d) a leave policy for 

inspectors; if not, why not; if so, 

what are the relevant details in each 

case; 

(2) whether his department has a policy 

regarding the job evaluation of inspectors; 

if not, why not; if so, (a) 

what are the relevant details and (b) 

what is the frequency of evaluations 

for every inspector? 


NW2603E 

It is essential to point out to the hon member 

that the Department of Labour does not have 

a separate and specific set of policies applicable 

only to inspectors but has policies 

dealing with all employees in general. Inspectors 

are part of the general population of 

employees in the department that are affected 

by such policies and therefore there is 

no special arrangement for the treatment of 

inspectors. 

The rest of the questions therefore fall away. 

(1) (a) Yes, the department has a skills 

development programme for all 

employees employed in the DoL 

which offers the following skills 

development opportunities: 

● Bursaries 

● Skills programmes 

● Short courses 

● Learnerships 

(b) 

● Conferences and seminars 

● Internships 

Each employee has a Personal 

Development Plan (PDP) which 

forms the basis for the department’s 

workplace skills plan for 

the year and inspectors are covered 

under this programme. 

Career pathing is reflected on the 

job profiles for all employees and 

employees discuss their career aspirations 

with their supervisors for 

them to agree on skills development 

interventions aimed at addressing 

identified career aspirations. 

Such interventions are 

(c) 

then captured on the employee’s 

Personal Development Plan for 

implementation. 

Inspectors are covered under the 

department’s Travel and Subsistence 

Policy. This Policy is applicable 

to all DoL employees and 

therefore, it was not necessary to 

develop a policy specifically applicable 

to the Inspectorate. 

(d) Inspectors are covered under 

DoL’s Leave Policy which caters 

for all employees in the DoL. 

There is therefore no specific 

policy applicable only to inspectors. 

(2) (a) The department has one Job 

Evaluation policy that is applicable 

to all jobs in the department 

and there is no separate policy for 

inspectors.


914 

(b) All posts at SR 9 upwards are 

regarded as mandatory posts with 

regards to the need for job evaluation 

and are evaluated once every 

three years in line with Public 

Service Regulations, 2001 IV/B3 

mandate. Posts below SR 9 are 

evaluated only on request in cases 

where the job content changed or 

where there is uncertainty with 

regards to remuneration level.

Unemployment levels 



Whether unemployment has been reduced 

since 2004 up to the latest specified date 

for which information is available; if not, 

why not; if so, to what extent? 

NW2631E 


According to the Labour Force Survey unemployment 

levels declined from 

4 611 000 in March 2004 to 4 191 000 in 

March 2008, representing a decline of about 

9,1% (ie 420 000). The official rate of unemployment 

has also been going down from


916 

27,8% in March 2004 to 23,5% in March

QUESTIONS 


Particulars of departmental prescripts 



(1) What are the full particulars of departmental 

prescripts regulating the 

use of state vehicles by the (a) 

Divisional Commissioner, (b) Deputy 

National Commissioner, (c) National 

Commissioner and (d) private 

persons; 

(2) whether a personal friend of a certain 

official in his department (name furnished) 

was arrested at a roadblock 

in Pretoria on 26 August 2006 whilst 

driving a state vehicle allocated for 

the use of the official; if not, what is 

the position in this regard; if so, 

(3) whether a docket was opened in 

respect of the matter; if not, why not; 

if so, what was the outcome of the 

investigation? NW1616E 


CURITY: 

(1) (a) to (c) The vehicle scheme for 

senior management makes provisions 

in terms of paragraph 9 of 

National Instruction 3/2004, that a 

Deputy National Commissioner, 

Divisional Commissioner or a 

(d) 

Provincial Commissioner may at 

any time, at their own discretion, 

drive or travel as a passenger in a 

state vehicle. 

In terms of the provisions of paragraph 

10 of Special Force Order 

(General) 3A of 1987, state vehicles 

may only be utilised for 

official purposes and for those 

duties which the National Commissioner 

of the South African 

Police Service may authorise from 

time to time. 

(2) 

In terms of paragraph 11(2)(b) of 

Special Force Order (General) 3A 

of 1987 the following persons who 

are not members of the South 

African Police Service may be 

regarded as competent to drive 

State vehicles: 

An official of another state department 

and an employee of a private 

concern doing motor vehicle repair 

work who is in possession of a 

valid driver’s licence and who has 

to drive a state vehicle in the 

execution of his/her duties. 

Yes, a personal friend of the Divisional 

Commissioner: Legal Services (a 

certain Mr Motsepe) was apprehended 

in Pretoria (Atteridgeville area) on 

27 August 2005, not at a roadblock but 

whilst the police were doing patrol 

duties. He was driving a state vehicle 

allocated for the use of the said Divisional 

Commissioner: Legal Services. 

Mr Motsepe was not arrested as the 

commanding officer of the roadblock 

was advised that the individual concerned 

need not be arrested — as his 

whereabouts were known to the SAPS, 

but to open a case docket in this matter. 

(3) The matter is still under investigation.

QUESTIONS 


Access to Justice Week 



(1) (a) How many people were assisted 

by her department during the Access 

to Justice Week from 18 to 23 August 

2008 and (b) what was the total cost 

to the state for this project; 

(2) whether this project will be repeated; 

if not, why not; if so, what amount 

has been budgeted for this project? 

NW2205E 



(1) (a) I would like to advise the hon 

member that a large number of 

people interacted with my department’s 

officials during the ‘‘Access 

to Justice Week’’, seeking 

advice and clarity on especially 

family related matters. It is difficult 

to be precise on the number as 

statistics were not kept. 

During the Access to Justice 

Week, all SAWLA members and 

the DoJ&CD employees from the 

Masters Office, Family Advocate, 

State Law Advisers, Regional Office, 

Courts, National Prosecution 

Authority including the Legal Aid 

Board set up advice desks at their 

place of employment or in the 

community halls in order to offer 

advice to communities far and 

wide. The advice desks were 

aimed at covering family related 

matters with emphasis on the following: 

● Marriage 

● Customary marriage 

● Domestic partnerships 

● Wills (preparing and printing 

ordinary wills on the spot, for 

complicated wills we will refer 

the person to the LAB, law firms 

and others) 

● Succession and administration 

of estates 

● Domestic violence 

● Child abuse 

● Custody and access 

● Guardianship and fostering 

● Maintenance 

● Credit 

● Pension funds 

However, in cases where advice 

could not be provided on the spot 

referrals were made to the relevant 

institutions for further investigations. 

But generally the clients’ 

enquiries had a similar thread in 

that mostly centred on family 

related matters. 

(b) The total cost to the state for this 

project has not been finalised yet. 

(2) This project is in line with one of my 

department’s key initiatives — of providing 

‘‘access to justice’’ to all people. 

The success of this project has highlighted 

the further need for such events. 

My department therefore hopes to repeat 

this event next year. To date, no 

budget has been allocated yet. 

Judge serving on commission 



(1) Whether a certain judge (name fur-


924 

nished)* applied for permission to 

serve on the Erasmus Commission; if 


regard; if so, 

(2) whether permission was granted; if 


regard; if so, (a) on what grounds 

was permission granted and (b) what 

conditions were put? NW2330E 



*The judge referred to is Judge Nathan 

Erasmus 

(1) and (2) No, the Judge referred to in the 

question did not apply to serve on the 

relevant Commission. I am not familiar 

with the procedure alluded to by the 

hon member of a Judge applying for 

permission to serve on a Commission. 

The Premier of the Western Cape had 

decided to appoint a Commission of 

Inquiry in terms of the powers vested in 

him by section 127(2)(e) of the Constitution 

of 1996. The Premier then consulted 

with my predecessor to make an 

appointment of a Judge to head the 

Commission. Since it was envisaged at 

The MINISTER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES: 

(a)(i)(ii)(iii)(aa)(aaa) 

the time that the inquiry would be 

finalised during the upcoming December/January 

Court recess and, as such, 

the Judge’s absence would not disrupt 

the court. My predecessor appointed 

the mentioned Judge to chair the Commission. 

No particular conditions were 

put in process.

Containers shipped through ports 



Whether, in respect of each of the past five 

years, (a) manganese ore, (b) iron or (c) 

coal was exported through ports in containers; 

if so, (i) how many containers 

were shipped, (ii) what was the total 

tonnage and (iii) what was the average 

handling costs per container in each case 

at each port? NW2655E 


PRISES: 

Container exporters have to declare in full to 

the South African Revenue Services details 

of cargo exported in containers or otherwise. 

Transnet National Ports Authority’s (TNPA) 

system currently does not record the contents 

of imported and exported containers. 

TNPA charges on a per Twenty-foot Equivalent 

Unit (TEU) basis, irrespective of the 

contents of the container and no ad valorem 

charge is raised based on commodity prices, 

and therefore, Transnet Limited (Transnet) is 

not in a position to provide the requested 

information. 

The average handling costs of a container at 

the South African ports consists of a number 

of different cost components. The cost components 

are not known to Transnet, but the 

tariffs charged by TNPA and Transnet Port 

Terminals (TPT) are published and are 

raised when containers are landed/shipped at 

the respective container terminals (ie 

Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth). 

The current TPT charges for landing/shipping 

per container is R855,00 for a six metre 

container and R1 264,00 for a 12 metre 

container. 

In addition to these charges, TNPA charges 

cargo dues per container as tabled below: 

TNPA Cargo dues (per container) 

6m container 12m container Empty container

QUESTIONS 


Case of assault 



(a) What are the reasons for the case of 

assault with the intent to commit grievous 

bodily harm (details furnished) being 

withdrawn, (b) in which court was the 

case heard and (c) what are the reasons for 

the victim not being (i) summoned to 

court to give evidence and (ii) informed of 

the court date? NW1088E 



(a) The Control Prosecutor, upon receipt of 

the case docket, decided not to institute 

proceedings against the accused. The 

investigation by the Control Prosecutor 

found that the complainant was the 

aggressor in the incident and swore at 

the accused’s mother. Thereafter, the 

two became embroiled in a fight. 

An affidavit was also obtained from a 

16-year-old relative of the accused who 

had witnessed the incident. The witness 

confirmed that the complainant was the 

first to hit the accused with a stick. The 

witness also indicated that the complainant 

had also assaulted her when 

she tried to stop the fight. 

(b) The matter was referred to the Gelvandale 

Magistrate’s Court as the incident 

occurred in that court’s area of jurisdiction. 

The matter was, however, not 

formally enrolled as the Control Prosecutor 

was of the opinion that there 

was no prospect of a successful prosecution. 

(c) (i) The complainant was not summoned 

to court to give evidence as 

the matter was not enrolled for 

trial due to the reasons provided 

above. 

(ii) The complainant was not informed 

of a court date as the 

matter was not set down for trial.

(a) a certain company (name and 

details furnished) claimed that their 

subsidiary company (name fur- 

(3) 

nished) has been mandated to assist 

the Government in acquiring land for 

land redistribution and (b) a certain 

official of her department (name 

furnished) has claimed that her department 

has entered into a contract 

with said subsidiary to acquire agricultural 

land for redistribution; if

against those involved for fraudulently 

using the name of her department

Status of certain claim 



What is the status of the claim of a certain 

person (name and details furnished)? 

NW2204E 



The claim lodged by the late Mr Mogdien 

Hendricks (husband of Ms Fareda Maart)is 

part of the Port Elizabeth Phase 2 (223) 

claims, which were grouped together in 

order to speed up the efficient and effective 

settlement of claims in that area. These 

claims were submitted to the Office of the 

Chief Land Claims Commissioner for approval. 

However, approval was not granted 

due to the wrong Consumer Price Index 

(CPI) used by the valuer to determine the 

monetary values of the claims. Unfortunately, 

the valuer passed away before correcting 

the valuation. As a result, the 

Commission had to appoint a new valuer to 

restart the valuation process. 

The valuation has been completed and the 

claim is now at the referral stage for approval 

in terms of section 42D of the 

Restitution of Land Rights Act, 1994.

Department’s policies give effect to 

developmental State 



Whether policies of her department give 

effect to the developmental state; if not, 

what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) 

which policies, (b) how do they give effect 

to the operation of the developmental 

state, (c) on what research are these 

policies based and (d) what examples of 

developmental states are they based on? 

NW2349E 



Yes. This reply responds initially to (d) in a 

general comment on the South African 

developmental state, and responds to (a), (b) 

and (c) in relation to each policy initiative 

cited below. 

● The South African Developmental State 

In a developmental state government leads a 

strong, concerted drive for economic 

growth, ensuring the mobilisation of national 

resources towards development goals. 

Although a developmental state prioritises 

and promotes development, it is a conjunctural 

configuration whose route and 

approaches are contingent on national history 

and the choices made by citizens and 

leaders. Many countries are examples of the 

developmental state, including Germany under 

the Marshall Plan, post-colonial Uganda, 

and the ‘‘Asian tigers’’ (South Korea, 

Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong). 

It is important to emphasise that each developmental 

state is historically unique, so 

there is no simple plan that delineates 

progress towards the attainment of the ‘‘developmental 

state’’ and South Africa cannot 

be said to base its approach on any existing 

model. In South Africa the developmental 

state is characterised by its democratic 

content and the role of the state in socioeconomic 

transformation. It prioritises both 

social and economic development and draws 

on participatory and integrated planning 

processes to undertake pro-poor, redistributive 

and proactive interventions. The emerg-


1368 

ing South African developmental state is 

democratic, nonracial, interventionist, redistributive, 

people-centred and participatory. 

The Constitution prescribes basic values and 

principles for the administrative apparatuses 

of the state (section 195(1)): 

1. A high standard of professional ethics 

must be promoted and maintained. 

2. Efficient, economic and effective use of 

resources must be promoted. 

3. Public administration must be development-oriented. 

4. Services must be provided impartially, 

fairly, equitably and without bias. 

5. People’s needs must be responded to, 

and the public must be encouraged to 

participate in policy-making. 

6. Public administration must be accountable. 

7. Transparency must be fostered by providing 

the public with timely, accessible 

and accurate information. 

8. Good human-resource management 

9. 

and career-development practices, to 

maximise human potential, must be 

cultivated. 

Public administration must be broadly 

representative of the South African 

people, with employment and personnel 

management practices based on 

ability, objectivity, fairness, and the 

need to redress the imbalances of the 

past to achieve broad representation. 

This includes an explicit requirement that 

public administration be development oriented. 

The evolution of a developmental 

state is invariably dependent upon the 

strength, competency and coherence of 

those public servants who must convert the 

stated developmental goals into reality. The 

state therefore requires a capable and effective 

Public Service in order to plan and guide 

the implementation of its national develop- 

ment plan. The policies of the Ministry for 

the Public Service and Administration are 

aimed at the realisation of the developmental 

state in South Africa by empowering and 

enabling the public service to deliver on 

government’s socioeconomic objectives. 

● Strengthening the capacity of the Public 

Service 

Government Employees’ Medical Scheme 

(GEMS) 

GEMS was conceived in order to ensure 

value for money for public servants’ medical 

contributions by realising economies of 

scale, owing to the large pool of potential 

members in the public service. Comprehensive 

actuarial research was conducted on the 

feasibility of the scheme, after which Cabinet 

gave approval for its implementation. 

GEMS was established in terms of the 

Medical Schemes Act in 2005 and began 

enrolling members in 2006. Benefit options 

were designed to include a Sapphire option, 

coupled with a 100% subsidy on this option 

for the lowest-paid levels in the public 

service. More than half its members (54%) 

did not access the employer subsidy for 

medical schemes beforehand (which suggests 

they were not covered by medical aid) 

and over 40% of all GEMS members earn a 

monthly income below R6,000 per month, 

demonstrating that GEMS is performing a 

developmental function within the healthcare 

sector and the economy more broadly. 

More than 100 000 employees are now 

covered on GEMS. GEMS is already the 

largest closed medical scheme in the country 

and the second largest overall. The extent to 

which it has brought new members into the 

medical scheme sector is evidenced by the 

unprecedented 6,5% growth in the overall 

industry, attributable to GEMS, as recorded 

in the Council for Medical Schemes Annual 

Report. This growth in new beneficiaries 

therefore not only benefits the public service 

but also the broader sector and the country. 

Occupation-Specific Dispensations (OSDs) 

for professionals


1370 

In 2006 the department conducted a Personnel 

Expenditure Review which evaluated the 

effectiveness of government’s remuneration 

expenditure and identified where the challenges 

lay. The study found that remuneration 

for professionals at entry level was 

competitive with the private sector, but once 

they had gained some years of experience it 

was no longer competitive, and many professionals 

were leaving the public service 

after a number of years, having been trained 

and gained experience in the public service. 

To ensure the retention of professionals in 

the public service, the Occupation-Specific 

Dispensations were devised, which placed 

professionals in critical occupation on occupation-specific 

remuneration frameworks 

and arrangements for grade progression and 

career paths. 

Implementation has been phased, with 

nurses, school-based educators and legallyqualified 

personnel being prioritised. Implementation 

for nurses and school-based 

educators has been completed, while a shortage 

of funds is delaying implementation in 

the Justice sector. The dispensation for 

social workers is currently being negotiated. 

Technical work has been completed for 

medical specialists and Correctional Services 

employees. A task team has been 

established for engineers, architects, environmentalists 

and other identified professionals. 

The OSDs are developmental 

because they assist the public service in 

attracting and retaining highly skilled professional 

staff and boost the capacity of the 

state to deliver on government’s socioeconomic 

objectives, in the same way that 

the flexible remuneration framework for 

senior managers and middle managers, introduced 

in 2001 and 2004, were intended to 

attract and retain high calibre managers. 

Policy on Incapacity Leave and Ill-health 

Retirements (PILIR) 

The intention of PILIR is to curb abuse of 

incapacity leave and ill-health retirements 

by appointing a Health Risk Manager for all 

departments who will scrutinise applications 

and advise the Head of Department. Extensive 

actuarial research was conducted before 

the pilot was approved. In the pilot, incapacity 

leave and ill-health retirements reduced 

by more than 50%. Following the pilot, the 

dpsa co-ordinated the roll-out of PILIR to all 

departments. Currently preparations are being 

made to decentralise PILIR. A tender is 

being issued for the provision of Health Risk 

Management services, and departments will 

be able to select from an approved panel of 

service providers. PILIR is developmental 

because it boosts the capacity of the public 

service by reducing wastage of human and 

financial resources and providing departments 

with optimal advice on incapacity 

leave and ill-health retirements. 

Human Resource Development Strategic 

Framework 

The Human Resource Development Strategic 

Framework (HRDSF) for the Public 

Service (Vision 2015) was approved by 

Cabinet in December 2007. Its development 

was based on a review of the Human 

Resource Development Strategy for the Public 

Service (2002-06) between November 

2006 and June 2007. A stakeholder review 

process was undertaken through a series of 

nine regional workshops and one national 

workshop as well as a workshop for 

organised labour under the auspices of the 

PSCBC. In addition, 39 individual interviews 

of key policy actors in HRD were 

conducted, making the sum total of 272 

respondents. Flowing out of this a new 

HRDSF was developed. 

The objectives of the HRDSF are: to promote 

and support the National Skills Development 

agenda, including ASGI-SA 

objectives and JIPSA initiatives; to address 

the national skills challenges at all public 

sector delivery points in line with the National 

HRD Strategy; align all public service 

HRD strategies with sectoral and provincial 

economic and development growth needs; to 

ensure a continuous supply of public sector


1372 

specialist skills and absorption thereof into 

the public service labour market; and to 

enable human capital performance in public 

sector organisations that ensures effective 

service delivery in all spheres of Government 

and contributes to economic growth. 

The HRDSF aims to achieve these objectives 

through implementation of four strategic 

initiatives which depict the human 

capital development path: firstly, individual 

capacity development; the organisational 

support systems at an institutional level; the 

governance and institutional development 

systems for a group of organisations (provincially 

and nationally); and the economic and 

growth development plans for a group of 

organisations (country, continent and globally). 

The HRDSF includes an implementation 

plan and annual reporting 

requirements, as well as implementation 

support through HR steering committees. 

The HRDSF is developmental because it 

aims to provide a skilled public service to 

implement government’s socio-economic 

objectives. 

Citizen-Focused Developmental Initiatives: 

Implementation of the Access Strategy 

Government has since 1994 explored ways 

of expanding access to government services, 

including e-Government, ‘‘one-stop shops’’, 

CDWs and the Single Public Service. These 

initiatives are developmental because they 

empower and encourage citizens and communities 

to take up social services and 

economic opportunities which might otherwise 

be out of reach. 

e-Government 

In 2004 the Batho Pele Gateway portal was 

launched and is available in all official 

languages. The portal is at www.gov.za. It 

provides information on government services 

in a user-friendly manner, organising 

the information in terms of life events so that 

citizens do not need to be concerned about 

which sphere of government is delivering 

the service. Desk top comparative research 

on e-government initiatives had been conducted. 

The portal is phase 1 of the implementation 

of an e-Government strategy; and 

the Next Generation e-Government entails 

the ‘‘e-enablement’’ of services, beginning 

with six pro-poor services: application to 

register birth; application for an identity 

document; application for foster care grant; 

application for an old age pension; applications 

for a maintenance order; and application 

to give notice of death. The aim is to 

enhance access, to reduce costs and to 

improve efficiency. 

Thusong Centres 

In 1999 Government initiated a programme 

to build ‘‘one-stop shop’’ service centres in 

townships and rural areas across the country. 

The intention is to have a Thusong Centre in 

all 283 municipalities by 2014. Currently 

over 107 are operational. The centres are 

managed by the municipalities and government 

services from all three spheres are 

offered, based on demand, including the 

services of the Departments of Home Affairs, 

Social Development and Labour. 

Projects led by the dpsa are underway to 

supply each Thusong Centre with internet 

connectivity, and build General Services 

Counters, at which the Batho Pele Gateway 

portal will be made available. Thusong 

Centres also provide information on services 

and opportunities through the Government 

Communication and Information Service. A 

project led by the dpsa is also underway to 

establish Thusong Centres in urban malls in 

major centres. The particular configuration 

of the Thusong Centre is unique, but other 

jurisdictions (including Brazil and Canada) 

have implemented government services 

centres that offer integrated service delivery. 

Community Development Worker Programme 

There are currently over 3 000 CDWs deployed 

to municipalities. They are fullyfledged 

public servants within the provincial 

government, and have completed a learnership. 

They are co-ordinated nationally by the


1374 

National Task Team, led by the dpsa. The 

CDW’s role is to make citizens aware of the 

services to which they are entitled and to 

help them to access those services; to ascertain 

what citizens’ needs are and to provide 

this feedback to departments and municipalities 

for implementation; and to provide 

information to citizens on ways in which 

they can take up economic opportunities. All 

of these functions are developmental; in 

addition, CDWs operate in the poorest urban 

and rural areas, where the need for government 

services and information on opportunities 

is the greatest. Desk top research was 

conducted prior to implementation. An impact 

assessment of the CDW Programme is 

currently underway. 

Know Your Service Rights Campaign 

The Public Service Commission and the 

dpsa conducted studies which confirmed that 

many government departments do little to 

inform citizens about the services to which 

they are entitled. This was further supported 

by the absence of service charters or service 

standards in most government departments. 

The Know Your Service Rights Campaign 

seeks to raise awareness amongst citizens 

about their service rights and educate them 

on ways of exercising their rights. These 

rights are explained in a user-friendly and 

easily understandable booklet that provides 

information on service rights and obligations. 

The campaign also seeks to exert 

positive pressure on the public service and 

its officials. The Know Your Service Rights 

booklet for the Social Sector was published 

in 2007, launched in March 2008 and 

distributed thereafter. The booklet addresses 

various rights encompassing the services of 

Home Affairs, Housing, Healthcare and Social 

Security. A process of developing a 

booklet for the Justice Cluster (SAPS, Correctional 

Services and Justice and Constitutional 

Development) will be completed in 

2009. Initiatives that promote citizens’ 

awareness of rights and duties are developmental 

in that they expand access for citizens 

to vital social services offered by the 

government. 

Single Public Service 

The Single Public Service is government’s 

response to the need for better quality 

services to the people where they live, and in 

particular to offer as many services as 

possible from a single window by integrating 

the institutions responsible for service 

delivery and the personnel at the frontline. 

This project is primarily aimed at improving 

service delivery, by promoting convenience 

and access to services for the people of the 

South African developmental state, and entails 

a fundamental transformation of the 

administrative state apparatuses. 

Legislation for the Single Public Service has 

been tabled in Parliament following an 

extensive consultation process. Research 

was conducted into common human resource 

practices and norms and standards for 

the Single Public Service, and the costing of 

various scenarios for implementation. Government 

is also considering the geo-spatial 

implications of integrated service delivery. It 

is necessary to identify where the people are, 

where the need for services exists, where the 

existing service delivery points are and 

where future sites should be built. In addition, 

within the Single Public Service initiative 

it is necessary to identify where the 

public servants are located geographically, 

to ensure optimal deployment of human 

resources where they are needed. The 

project to establish a Geographical Information 

System (GIS) for the Single Public 

Service is already underway and research 

into GIS in government departments has 

been conducted. 

The scope of the Public Administration 

Management Bill covers the current public 

service and municipalities. The principal 

object of the Public Administration Management 

Bill is to provide for administration in 

all three spheres of government to be 

organised and to function in ways that 

ensure efficient, quality, collaborative and 

accountable service delivery to promote 

social and economic development for the 

people of South Africa.


1376 

The ancillary objects of the Public Administration 

Management Bill are to provide for 

institutions, systems and mechanisms and 

for human resources’ utilisation and development 

in a manner which best enhances 

service delivery by public administration 

institutions; establish a culture of service 

delivery across public administration institutions 

and provide for standards for services 

by public administration institutions; 

strengthen relations between the spheres of 

government; enhance coherent, integrated 

planning, budgeting, implementation, reporting, 

monitoring and evaluation in all 

spheres of government; provide for frameworks 

for employment practices, including 

employee relations and conditions of service, 

for all employees of all public administration 

institutions; and establish a single 

senior management service across all public 

administration institutions, amongst others. 

The Bill continues a tradition of decentralisation 

of power established in 1999, and its 

provisions are based on the experience of the 

last ten years in public administration. The 

approach taken in the Public Service Act and 

the Public Service Regulations was for the 

Minister as regulator to set a framework of 

norms and standards within which executive 

authorities and their delegates could make 

policies suited to their own unique circumstances. 

In the Public Administration Management 

Bill, the Minister is empowered to 

create a framework of generally applicable 

norms and standards within which government 

institutions in the national, provincial 

and local spheres may determine their own 

policies and practices. At the same time, 

however, efforts will be made to harmonise 

systems, structures and conditions of service 

in order to reduce unjustifiable disparities, 

duplication and lack of interoperability between 

institutions, and to promote integration 

and co-ordination for improved service 

delivery. 

The Single Public Service is developmental 

because it aims to reduce duplication and 

wastage through integration of services, 

concentrate staff and service centres in the 

locations where they are most needed and to 

enable a wide range of services to be 

delivered at these conveniently located service 

points. It also aims to improve intergovernmental 

co-ordination and integration by 

harmonising the conditions of services, systems 

and procedures of the institutions that 

provide services and the personnel which 

serve the public. Overall the intention is to 

improve service delivery by integrating the 

back and front offices of the public service 

and municipalities. Other jurisdictions (including 

Brazil and Canada) have integrated 

their service delivery back offices (integrating 

the back office is a long term undertaking) 

and many jurisdictions have 

decentralised human resource management 

within a framework of norms and standards. 

Conclusion 

Central to government’s ability to realise the 

goal of the developmental state is that the 

organs of state have the capacity and are 

correctly organised to deliver on the state’s 

socio-economic objectives. The Minister for 

the Public Service and Administration has 

introduced policies to enhance the capacity 

of the public service by empowering public 

servants to improve their skills and enjoy 

benefits that also contribute to the development 

of the country, and by eliminating the 

abuse of policies and systems to ensure their 

health and wellness, among several others. 

Expanding access to services and empowering 

citizens to take up services and economic 

opportunities are developmental and support 

the implementation of government’s socioeconomic 

objectives through enhanced access 

to social services and economic 

opportunities. The implementation of the 

Access Strategy and the Single Public Service 

initiative will further strengthen South 

Africa as a developmental state by ensuring 

that services that have a positive impact on 

the quality of life of our citizens are delivered 

effectively, economically and efficiently.

Inadequate road infrastructure to 

handle heavy vehicles 

1632. Mrs C DUDLEY (ACDP) asked the 


(1) Whether he has been informed of 

concerns of communities (details 

furnished) regarding inadequate road 

infrastructure for heavy vehicles accessing 

national key points; if so, 


(2) whether, in view of the fatal road 

accident on Saturday, 9 August 2008 

(details furnished), his department 

will investigate the concerns with 

regard to heavy vehicles utilising 

inadequate infrastructure in residential 

areas; if not, what is the position 




(1) The Department of Transport (DoT) 

has intensified its efforts with regard to 

the implementation of the National 

Freight Logistics Strategy since the 

Strategy’s approval by Cabinet in 2005. 

One of the key interventions by the 

DoT in dealing with constraints in 

efficiencies and limited infrastructure 

and operational capacities within the 

National Freight Logistics System, was 

the establishment of provincial institutional 

structures, namely, Provincial 

Freight Logistics Forums. 

The KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Provincial 

Freight Logistics Forum (KZN Freight 

Task Group) and all other forums include 

the following key stakeholders, 

namely government departments (national, 

provincial and local municipalities), 

state-owned enterprises (SOEs), 

the private sector, organised labour and 

community organisations. 

(2) As highlighted in the response to part 

(1) above, the provincial Freight Logistics 

Forums were established to ensure 

that infrastructure and services enable 

safe passage of freight in a manner that 

does not pose a danger to communities. 

The KwaZulu-Natal provincial department 

of transport is addressing the 

concern raised in partnership with the 

Freight Forums. 

Status of claim in District Six 



(a) What is the status of claim H48 in 

District Six, (b) what is the reason for the 

delay and (c) when can the settlement of 

this claim be expected? NW2544E 



(a) The Regional Land Claims Commission: 

Western Cape (RLCC: WC) is in 

the process of appointing a service 

provider to conduct historical valuations 

on the subject land, in order to 

determine whether the claimants received 

just and equitable compensation 

at the time of dispossession. 

(b) The RLCC: WC deemed the land claim 

noncompliant with the Restitution of 

Land Rights Act, 1994, as it appeared 

that the claimants received just and 

equitable compensation at the time of 

dispossession. The claim therefore did 

not meet the requirements of section 

2(2)(a) and (b) of the Act. 

(c) The Commission undertakes to finalise 

the matter expeditiously, however, a 

specific timeframe cannot be pronounced 

due to the nature and complexity 

of the process of conducting 

historical valuations.

(d) Consultants were appointed to 

render specialised services and in 

some cases consultants were 

(2) (a) 

utilised due to insufficient capacity. 

Ms Ishara Bodasing was reappointed 

as a consultant in the latter 

part of the 2006-07 financial year 

to assist the DPSA with technical 

support with the Global Forum V 

Conference which was hosted by 

the department during April 2008. 

(b) Ms Bodasing resigned from the 

department for personal reasons. 

The former employee was one of 

the key role-players in the initial 

planning process of the Global 

Forum V whilst she was employed


1396 

by the DPSA. The department 

deemed it necessary to contract 

her on a part time basis to assist 

with the planning process until the 

project was finalised. Her services 

were terminated in April 2008. 

Applications received by NLDTF 



(a) How many applications have been 

received in each of the past three 

years up to 15 September 2008 by 

the National Lotteries Distribution 

Trust Fund (NLDTF), (b) how many 

of these applications (i) have been 

processed and (ii) were successful 

and (c) with regard to each successful 

application, (i) who was the 

organisation that applied, (ii) how 

much funding did they apply for, (iii) 

how much was allocated to the said 

organisation and (iv) what were the 

reasons for providing less funding 

than the amount requested? 

NW2405E 


MENT: 

(a) The NLB receives about 7 000 applications 

per year. 

(b) (i) All applications are adjudicated. 

(ii) The NLB allocates funds to about 

2 000 beneficiary organisations per 

year. 

(c) (i) (ii) and (iii) Information on all grants 

made by the NLDTF is oncluded in 

the annual report of the National 

Lotteries Board (NLB) that is tabled 

in Parliament. A copy of the report is 

distributed to each Member of Parliament 

and also appears on the NLB 

website. 

(iv) The reasons why applicants might 

not be granted exactly what they 

request include: 

There is on average R1,5 billion 

available for distribution, while the 

requests exceed R10 billion. The aim 

of the NLDTF is to distribute the 

available funds to all who meet the 

required criteria. 

Although some organisations sometimes 

submit their whole budget to 

be funded, the NLDTF does not fund 

entire annual budgets. This is done to 

prevent dependency. 

The Act and related regulations are 

clear on the fact that only projects of 

applicants are funded.

(1) Whether any bonuses were paid to 

staff members of the National Lotteries 

Board (NLB) in the 2007-08 

financial year; if not, what is the 


amount was paid in each case and (b)

(2) whether these bonus payments were 

tied to any performance requirement; 


regard; if so, what is the requirement;

NW2437E 


TRY: 

(1) An amount of R1,2 million was paid 

out in bonuses to 66 employees. In 

compliance with applicable laws, the


1406 

NLB is not in a position to provide 

confidential information relating to 

(2) 

staff members without their permission. 

The information relating to senior management 

can be accessed from the NLB 

annual report as it is public information. 

The NLB has a performance management 

system in place. The bonuses 

were tied to performance indicators. 

Each member of staff signs a performance 

management contract that is 

reviewed and assessed against performance 

indicators. 

(3) The payment of bonuses is linked to 

performance, which is assessed against 

targets set in the performance contract. 

The performance contracts take into 

account the nature of the NLB functions 

and the specific turnaround times 

agreed upon. The performance management 

system therefore guides the 

payment of bonuses.

Sale of confiscated abalone 



What was the financial contribution from 

the sale of confiscated abalone to the 

Marine Living Resources Fund in the past 

financial year? NW2621E 



Fifty million, four hundred and four thousand, 

seven hundred and eighty-four rand 

and twenty cents (R50 404 784,20) was received 

by the Marine Living Resources 

Fund from the sale of confiscated abalone in 

the 2007-08 financial year. 

Enforcement of provision of MPA in 

Stilbaai 



(1) Whether his department has the capacity 

to enforce the provisions of a 

marine protected area (MPA) in the 

Stilbaai area; if not, why not; if so, 

what are the relevant details 

(2) what benefits will accrue to the 

marine ecosystem from declaring 

this area a MPA; 

(3) (a) when was (i) the notice of intention 

to declare a MPA in Stilbaai 

announced and (ii) the period for 

public comment closed and (b) how 

many comments were received during 

the public participation process; 

(4) whether any comments were included 

in the final provisions of the 

MPA; if not, why not; if so, what are 




(1) Yes. The department has a contractual 

agreement with CapeNature (signed in 

2007) to assist it in the management of 

five Marine Protected Areas in the 

Western Cape, including the new 

(2) 

Stilbaai MPA. The department itself 

actively manages the Stilbaai fishing 

harbour which falls within the MPA. 

Both DEAT and CapeNature staff are 

authorised to act throughout the MPA. 

NGOs are also playing an important 

support role. 

The main benefits of the MPA include: 

(a) Providing protection from fishing 

for marine species in two marine 

restricted areas to assist with the 

recovery and sustainable use of 

over-exploited marine species, in 

particular linefish. 

(b) Providing complete protection to 

over 75% of the Goukou estuary so 

that it can function as a nursery 

area for estuarine fish, and estuarine-dependent 

marine fish. (Also 

improved catchment-to-coast management). 

(c) Protecting the coastline including 

the ‘‘visvywers’’ (indigenous 

stone fish traps), and establishing 

continuity between the terrestrial 

Geelkrans Reserve and the new 

Geelkrans Restricted area of the 

MPA. (A conservation corridor.) 

(d) Overall improved environmental 

protection of the area and its 

biodiversity. 

(e) Allowing the continuation of recreational 

and commercial activities 

in the controlled zone. 

(3) (a) The notice to propose the MPA 

was published on 14 October 

2005. The period allowed for com-


1420 

(4) 

ment was from 14 October 2005 to 

20 January 2006 (98 days). 

The comments received indeed impacted 

on the final provisions of the 

MPA. The most frequent comment was 

that the proposed estuarine area in 

which fishing would be allowed was 

regarded as being too small to accommodate 

users, and there were numerous 

concerns about the impact of recreational 

power-boating on the estuary. 

Thus the major change between the 

gazetted proposal in 2005 and the final 

published version in 2008 increases the 

extent of the Goukou Estuary in which 

fishing is allowed from 1,2 km (upstream 

to the mouth), to 3,4 km 

(upstream from the mouth). The matter 

of power-boating in the estuary is being 

dealt with as an estuarine management 

issue. Other details are that spearfishing 

will be allowed in the marine controlled 

area (where traditional commercial and 

recreational fishing activities are also 

allowed), and that scuba diving will be 

allowed throughout the MPA (but will 

require a permit from February 2009 

and will be subject to conditions). The 

previously existing prohibitions on 

launching of jetskis in the area are 

strengthened through banning their use 

anywhere in the MPA as proposed in 

the 2005 gazette. 

MCM officials arrested 



(1) Whether officials from the Marine 

and Coastal Management arrested or 

threatened to arrest surfers and 

(2) 

swimmers who wear wetsuits in the 

sea in order to enforce the ban on 

diving; if not, what is the position in 


details; 

whether any clauses in the regulations 

regarding the current dive ban 

prevent recreational users of our seas 

from wearing certain attire; if so, 


NW2637E 



(1) No. Such a situation has to our knowledge 

not arisen. 

(2) The Government Gazette No. 30716 of 

1 February 2008 does not restrict the 

wearing of wetsuits or other attire in the 

dive ban area. It does, however prohibit 

the wearing of certain gear, including 

‘‘goggles, diving masks, snorkels, flippers, 

artificial breathing apparatus, 

weight belts or weights, bags used for 

underwater collection of fish, shucking 

tools or any implement which could be 

used for harvesting abalone’’. 

Honorary marine conservation officers 

in Eastern Cape 



(1) Whether any steps have been taken 

to support the honorary marine conservation 

officers in the Eastern 

(2) 

Cape; if not, why not; if so, what are 

the relevant details; 

whether measures are in place to 

ensure that such officers have a good 

working relationship with the Marine 

and Coastal Management; if not, 


details; 

(3) How many such officers are in the 

Eastern Cape; 

(4) whether any steps are being taken to 

recruit new honorary marine conservation 

officers; if not, why not; if so, 

what steps? NW2640E 



(1) Honorary officers receive on-the-job


1422 

training from experienced officials in 

order to equip them to deal with members 

of the public effectively. Training 

sessions have been conducted on the 

Marine Living Resources, National Environmental 

Management Act and 

(2) 

other related legislation. 

There are generally good working relationship 

between honoraries and officials 

of the department especially in 

Port Elizabeth. 

(3) There are presently 42 active honorary 

officers in Eastern Cape. See table 

below

(4) The recruitment of honoraries forms 

part of performance assessment for all 

officials in the Eastern Cape as is the 

case throughout the whole coastline. 

Application forms have been distributed 

to police stations and libraries in 

the region and presentations are often 

made at the community police forums 

and conservancy meetings. 

Manganese particles in air 



(1) What is the allowable limit of Manganese 

Particulate matter per cubic 

meter of air in terms of the National 

Environmental Management: Air 

(2) 

Quality Act, Act 39 of 2004; 

whether the limit is consistent with 

World Health Organisation standards; 

if not, to what extent does it differ; 

(3) whether any consideration has been 

given to the health and environmental 

consequences by allowing higher 

levels of particulate matter per cubic 

matter air; if not, why not; if so, what 

action will be taken in this regard? 

NW2657E 



(1) There are no specific standards for ‘‘manganese 

particulate matter’’ in terms of the 

National Environmental Management: 

Air Quality Act, Act 39 of 2004. However, 

the Act does provide a national 

standard for ambient concentrations of 

particulate matter with a particle size of 

less than 10 microns (µ) in size (PM10) which may not exceed: (a) a 24-hour 

average of 180 micrograms per cubic 

meter (µg/m 3 ) and the 24-hour limit may 

not be exceeded more than three times in 

one year; or (b) an annual average of 60 

micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m 3 ). 

(2) Falls away. 

(3) Health and environmental impacts are the 

basis for ambient air quality standards 

setting and, as such, are always considered. 

The ambient air quality standards 

contained in the Act are currently under 

review in line with the standard setting 

process prescribed in the 2007 National 

Framework for Air Quality Management 

in South Africa. Thus, updated standards 

for the criteria pollutants are likely to be 

published for public comment in early 

2009. Furthermore, the 2007 National 

Framework has also identified new pollutants 

to be considered for national 

standards over and above the criteria 

pollutants. However manganese in general 

and ‘‘manganese particulate matter’’


1424 

in particular has not been included in this 

identification as it is not considered to be 

a pollutant of national concern. A province 

where extensive manganese processing 

takes place and where there is a 

risk of manganese pollution affecting 

human health and the environment may 

consider setting a provincial standard for 

manganese. Should this be the case it is 

likely that the standard would be set for 

manganese in a similar way to that set for 

lead (another heavy metal) and a similar 

methodology for measurement and 

analysis would be applied (heavy metal 

content of particulate samples is measured).

World Cup operational budget 



(1) What is his department’s latest operational 

budget allocation for the 

2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup for 

the (a) (i) 2009-10 and (ii) 2010-11 

financial years, (b) what is the estimated 

budget requirements for the 

host cities’ transport operations after 

fare recovery and (c)(i) how will the 

shortfall between the budget allocated 

and the budget required be 

overcome and (ii) by whom; 

(2) whether the operational budgets 

have been reduced as a consequence 

of the construction overruns on the 

costs of stadiums; if so, what do 

these overruns amount to at each of 

the stadiums involved? NW2535E 


(1) (a) The National Treasury has centralised 

the 2010 Fifa Soccer World 

Cup event operational budget under 

one grant, which is being 

administered by the Department 

of Sport and Recreation. The grant 

can only be accessed by host 

cities, and the allocations were 

made based on the number of 

venues and the number of matches 

each City will be hosting. 

(i) For 2009-10, the total allocation 

is R488 million; and 

(ii) for 2010-2011 it is R196 million. 

(b) Host cities are currently working 

out the final figures, which will 

differ from one city to the next. 

(c) (i) and (ii) 

It is the Department of Transport’s view that, 

with adequate fare recovery, there should not 

be large budget shortfalls from hosting the 

event. Host cities have been advised to start 

looking at alternative sources of funding, 

including borrowing, to overcome any identified 

budget shortfalls. 

(2) The budget for stadium construction is 

administered by the Department of 

Sport and Recreation and they should 

be in the best position to provide the 

exact figures of expected cost overruns. 

EIA on nuclear reactor 



(a) (i) What is the expected total cost of 

the environmental impact assessment 

process for Nuclear 1 and (ii) 

what is the breakdown of the figure 

and (b)(i) what is the expected total 

cost of the environmental impact 

assessment process for the demonstration 

power plant of the pebble 

bed modular reactor and (ii) what is 

the breakdown of the figure? 

NW2632E


1430 


PRISES: 

(a) (i) The Environmental Impact Assessment 

(EIA) for the Nuclear-1 project 

is expected to cost approximately 

R 18.0 million. The Scoping Phase of 

this EIA investigated five different 

sites. The detailed Impact Assessment 

phase of this EIA is currently 

being undertaken on three of the 

original five sites. 

(ii) Different activities are undertaken at 

different times during the full EIA 

process; for example the public participation 

takes place throughout the 

process, some of the specialist studies 

commence early in the process 

and continue into the detailed assessment 

phase, whereas other specialist 

studies are only performed in the 

second phase of the project. The final 

reconciliation of costs to each component 

of the full EIA process will 

thus only be possible once the EIA 

has been completed. 

(b) (i) The EIA for the pebble bed modular 

reactor (PBMR) project is expected 

to cost approximately R 6,5 million. 

The Scoping Phase of this EIA investigated 

four (4) different sites. The 

detailed Impact Assessment phase of 

this EIA was undertaken on the 

preferred site (Koeberg). 

(ii) The final reconciliation of costs to 

each component of the full EIA 

process will thus only be possible 

once the EIA has been completed.

regard; if so, (a) for what amount and 

(b) when does his department expect 

the transfer to be made? NW2659E 


(1) (a) As of now, the Department of 

Transport (DoT) has not experi-


1434 

enced any shortfall on the subsidy 

budget. However, the DoT is anticipating 

a shortfall of about 

R1,2 billion on the bus subsidy 

during the current financial year. 

Due to a shortfall of R542 million 

that was carried over from the 

2007-08 financial year, the department 

has already spent 

(b) 

R2 424 million of the current budget 

of R2 829 million as at the end 

of September 2008. In terms of the 

department’s records and the expenditure 

trends from provinces, 

the available balance in the subsidy 

budget will be depleted in 

November 2008. 

The department is engaging the 

(c) 

National Treasury and has brought 

the matter to the attention of the 

Minister of Finance. 

Up to the end of September 2008, 

all operators have been paid their 

monthly subsidies and will be paid 

until November 2008. 

(2) (a) As part of the 2008-09 Adjustment 

Budget process, the Department of 

Transport submitted an application 

for additional funding of 

(b) 

R1,2 billion to the National Treasury 

in September 2008. 

The department was recently informed 

that no additional funds 

have been approved for bus subsidies.

QUESTIONS 


Definition of ‘‘employed’’ 

1726. Prof B TUROK (ANC) asked the 


(1) What is the basis for the definition of 

the term ‘‘employed’’, used in the 

Quarterly Labour Force Survey for 

28 August 2008 issued by Statistics 

SA, which refers to ‘‘persons aged 

15-64 years who, during the reference 

week, did any work for at least 

one hour’’; 

(2) whether the government’s employment 

figures include such persons; 



(3) whether this gives an accurate figure 

for the employment levels in our 

economy; if not, what is the position 




(1) To decide on who is employed, the 

International Labour Organisation (ILO) 

recommends that the activities within the 

production boundary of the United Nations 

Systems of National Accounts be 

used. This system defines what activities 

are considered as economic. Anybody 

involved in these economic activities 

during the reference period is considered 

employed. The activities are defined below 

and elaborated through examples. 

These activities include market and 

Table 1 

nonmarket activities. Market activities 

include production of goods and services 

supplied to other units intended 

for sale, barter, in-kind pay on the 

market. Nonmarket activities include 

mostly production of goods and services 

for own final use, eg subsistence 

farming, collecting wood or water for 

own final consumption. However for 

nonmarket activities to be included as 

employment they must make a significant 

contribution to household consumption. 

In the old Labour Force Survey (LFS) 

both market activities and some nonmarket 

activities were considered employment. 

In the New Quarterly Labour 

Force Survey only market activities are 

considered to be employment. Nonmarket 

activities are not considered as 

employment in the new LFS because it 

was difficult to decide on what criteria 

would be used to establish if nonmarket 

activities made a significant contribution 

to household consumption. 

On temporary absence, in the old LFS 

as long as people had a job or even an 

economic activity to return they would 

be classified as employed and in the 

new LFS it is only people who indicate 

that they have market activities that 

they will definitely go back to (excluding 

working unpaid in a household 

business) who are considered as employed. 

Below is a table on how the employment 

question was asked in the old LFS 

and how it is asked in the new QLFS. 

LFS QLFS 

2.1 In the last seven days, did you do any of the 

following activities, even for only one hour? 

2.4 In the last week,


1438 

(a) Run or do any kind of business, big or small, for 

himself/herself or with one or more partners? 

(b) Do any work for a wage, salary, commission or 

any payment in kind (excl. domestic work)? 

(c) Do any work as a domestic worker for a 

wage, salary, or any payment in kind? 

(d) Help unpaid in a household business of any 

kind? 

(e) Do any work on his/her own or the household’s 

plot, farm, food garden, cattle post or kraal, or 

help in growing farm produce or in looking after 

animals for the household? 

(f) Do any construction or major repair work on 

his/her own home, plot, cattle post or business 

or those of the household? 

(g) Catch any fish, prawns, shells, wild animals or 

other food for sale or household food? 

2.2 Even though . . . did not do any of these activities 

in the last seven days, does he/she have a job, 

business, or other economic or farming activity that 

he/she will definitely return to? 

In summary then in the old LFS employment 

comprised the following: 

● Having worked at least for an hour in 

the last seven days in either market or 

nonmarket activities (Question 2.1 in 

Table 1 above). 

● If a person had not done any of the 

activities listed in Question 2.1 in the 

last seven days, then they are considered 

as employed only if they have a 

job, business or other economic or 

farming activity that they will definitely 

return to (Question 2.2 in Table 1 

above). 

In the new LFS employment comprises the 

following: 

● Having worked for at least one hour in 

the previous week in market related 

LFS QLFS 

(a) Did you work for a wage, salary, commission or 

any payment in kind (including domestic work), 

even for only one hour? 

(b) Did you run or do any kind of business, big or 

small, for yourself or with one or more partners, 

even for only one hour? 

(c) Did you help without being paid in any kind of 

business run by your household, even if it was 

for only one hour? 

2.5 In the last week, even though you did not do any 

work for pay, profit or helped unpaid in a household 

business, . . . 

(a) Did you have a paid job that you would 

definitely return to? 

(b) Did you have a business that you would 


(c) Did you have an unpaid job in any kind of 

business run by your household that you would 


activities (Question 2.4 in Table 1 

above). 

● If a person had not done any of the 

activities listed in Question 2.4 in the 

previous week, then they are considered 

as employed only if they have a paid job 

or a business that they will definitely 

return to (question excludes unpaid 

household members even if they say 

they have a household business that 

they will definitely return to). 

● In the new LFS all those who were 

engaged only in non market activities in 

the previous week are taken through to 

questions on unemployment and inactivity 

and are not considered as employed. 

The question on nonmarket 

activities is asked in the following way 

(Table 2 below):

Old New 

2.6 In the last week, . . . 

(2) We are not quite sure what this question 

is referring to but if it is about employment 

in government the response is 

given below. 

Everyone who is employed in government 

irrespective of their terms of 

employment (permanent or contract) 

forms part of employment as defined 

above as long as they worked for at 

least an hour in the reference week and 

are aged from 15 to 64. 

(3) Yes, the employment levels are accurate 

because the sample is representative. 

Allocation for renewable energy 



(1) Whether all or part of the R2 billion 

allocated for renewable energy in the 

2007-08 budget had been spent; if so, 

(a) on what (i) vision and (ii) plan, 

was this spending based and (b) for 

which purpose; if not, 

(2) whether he will allocate the unspent 

amount towards the implementation 

of a feed-in tariff; if not, why not; if 


NW2578E 

(a1) Did you do any work on your own or the household’s plot, 

farm, food garden, cattle post or kraal or help in growing farm 

produce or in looking after animals for the household’s own 

consumption? 

(a2) If yes, for how many hours? 

(b1) Did you fetch water or collect wood/dung for household use? 

(b2) If yes, for how many hours? 

(c1) Did you produce any other goods for household use? 

Examples: clothing, furniture, clay pots, etc. 

(c2) If yes, for how many hours? 

(d1) Did you do any construction or major repair work on your 

own home, plot, cattle post or business or those of the household? 

(d2) If yes, for how many hours? 

(e1) Did you catch any fish, prawns, shells, wild animals or other 

food for household consumption? 

(e2) If yes, for how many hours? 


(1) There was no allocation of R2 billion 

for renewable energy in the 2007-08 

budget. In the 2008 Budget Speech it 

was announced that 

‘‘We are . . . setting aside R2 billion 

over the next three years to support 

programmes aimed at encouraging 

more effıcient use of electricity, generation 

from renewable sources, installation 

of electricity-saving devices and 

co-generation projects. Intensive work 

over the next few months is needed to 

give content to these proposals, so that 

allocations for this year can be included 

in an Adjustments Appropriation’’. 

It should be noted that the amount of 

R2 billion refers to the MTEF period 

that it is not limited to renewable 

energy initiatives and it is not limited to 

the 2008-09 year. It should also be 

noted that this supplements existing 

allocations, such as the R84 million a 

year available on programme 7 of the 

Minerals and Energy vote for nongrid 

electrification. Details of the new allocations 

for the 2008-09 year were set 

out in the Adjustments Appropriation


1442 

(2) 

tabled in Parliament on 23 October 

2008. These include R180 million earmarked 

for the Compact Flourescent 

Light (CFLs) bulbs roll-out by Eskom 

and R20 million allocated to the Department 

of Public Works (DPW) for 

retrofitting already-audited government 

buildings with energy efficiency devices, 

for which proposals and plans 

were submitted to National Treasury. 

Responsibility for implementation and 

monitoring rests with the departments 

of Minerals and Energy and Public 

Works, respectively. 

As is evident from the above, there is 

no question of ‘‘unspent amounts’’ 

being available at this stage. It is the 

Treasury’s understanding that questions 

relating to ‘‘feed-in’’ tariffs applicable 

to co-generators or other 

external suppliers to the Eskom grid are 

currently under review by the National 

Energy Regulator (Nersa), which has 

established a Working Group for this 

purpose. Possible expenditure allocations 

in support of renewable energy 

and co-generation projects are currently 

under consideration. Details of 

proposed expenditure allocations for 

future years will be made available in 

the 2009 Budget. At this stage no 

decision has been taken on the appropriateness 

or not of a direct tariff

(2) There is no direct or explicit earmarking 

of excise tax revenue. The abovementioned 

revenue flows to government’s 

National Revenue Fund, 

from where it is allocated to general 

government expenditure programmes. 

As such, alcohol excise tax revenue, 

together with other general government 

revenue, indirectly forms part of meritorious 

expenditure programmes aimed 

at addressing the health and social 

impact of alcohol abuse. Allocations 

for such interventions are on the budgets 

of the Departments of Health and 

Social Development.

QUESTIONS 


Animal rights 

987. Mr M J ELLIS (DA) asked the Minister 


(1) Whether, with reference to a document 

commissioned by her department 

from the SA Veterinary 

(2) 

Foundation (details furnished), animal 

rights is one of the main threats 

of the new millennium and one 

which no animal health, pharmaceutical 

or agricultural organisation can 

take lightly; if not, how was this 

conclusion reached; if so, how was 

this conclusion reached; 

what are the main differences between 

animal (a) care, (b) welfare 

and (c) rights? NW1724E 

The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND 

LAND AFFAIRS: 

(1) The Department of Agriculture has not 

commissioned a document with the 

South African Veterinary Foundation. 

The SA Veterinary Foundation offered 

to assist with the collection of all 

available information on the care and 

protection of animals to facilitate a 

process of evaluation of guidelines, 

codes and regulations that could be of 

use to South Africa. This document has 

never been presented to the Department 

thus no conclusion has been reached at 

all. 

(2) (a) & (b) There are no substantive 

differences between animal care 

and animal welfare as both refers 

to the well-being of animals. Animal 

well- being is a condition 

where animals experience good 

health, are able to effectively cope 

with their environment. 

(c) Animal rights are different as it 

refers to what animals are entitled 

to. We can therefore only assume 

that the reference to animal rights 

refers to those pressure groups that 

adopt measures to ensure that animals 

have rights also.

List of recommendations 



(1) Whether his department received the 

list of 21 recommendations made by 

the Harvard Panel of international 

and local economists in its research 

papers on economic growth in South 

Africa, released in May 2008; if not, 

(a) why not and (b) when is it 

expected that the department will 

receive these recommendations; if so 

(2) whether his department has implemented 



not; if so (a) which recommendations 

and (b) what are the timeframes for 

each recommendation to be implemented? 

NW2086E 


TECHNOLOGY: 

(1) The ‘‘Harvard Review Panel of International 

and Local economists’’ was initiated 

by the Minister of Finance to 

enable sound reflection and robust engagement 

on economic policy in South 

Africa. Through the normal process of 

policy development in South Africa, 

the Department of Science and Technology 

(DST) has been engaging with 

the findings and recommendations of 

the panel at a range of levels from 

Cabinet processes to processes at the 

economic cluster of Director-General 

and in bilateral discussions between the 

DST and National Treasury. The department 

is using the findings and 

recommendations of the Harvard Panel 

as one of many important inputs that is 

used for ongoing analysis of Science 

and Technology Policy and how such 

policy can be refined and enhanced. 

(2) The DST conducted a peer review of 

the National System of Innovation 

(NSI) in 2007, advised by the Organisation 

for Economic Co-operation 

and Development (OECD). Peer reviews 

such as these provide us with 

valuable insights into the strengths and 

weaknesses of our policy frameworks. 

Such insights are combined with other 

experiences and analysis (including insights 

and views from members of 

legislature and the Portfolio Committee 

on Science and Technology and our 

social partners in business, labour and 

society) to sharpen and improve policy. 

The introduction of the Technology 

Innovation Agency (TIA) Bill is an 

example of such a policy refinement 

where the need for such an agency was 

confirmed by external reviews, others 

include the Intellectual Property Rights 

from Publicly Financed Research and 

Development (IPR FRD) Bill which is 

awaiting the President to sign. 

(3) The recommendations of the Harvard 

Panel deal with a range of areas such as 

macro-economic policy, trade and industrial 

policy, education and training 

policy, science and technology policy. 

Based on a preliminary assessment of 

the 21 recommendations, the department 

is not taking the lead in any of the 

recommendations. However, the set of 

recommendations relating to Industrial 

Policy (recommendations 12-16) includes 

elements that talks to the DST’s 

mandate. Existing arrangements are in 

place where the DST engages with the 

lead department responsible for industrial 

policy on these elements.

Crew to man new submarines 



Whether the SA Navy has trained crew to 

man the three new submarines in the fleet; 

if not, (a) what are the extent of shortages,


1492 

(b) in what areas of the operation of 

submarines and (c) what steps are being 

taken to reverse the shortages? NW2152E 


(a) and (b) The SA Navy did train sufficient 

submariners for all three submarines. 

However, it has lost numerous qualified 

submariners. 

(c) The SA Navy therefore now has sufficient 

crew to man the two submarines 

that are currently operational. The third 

submarine is undergoing a maintenance 

cycle and as such does not require an 

entire crew. 

The SA Navy has gone on record a 

number of times to indicate that there is 

a shortage of technical personnel in the 

Navy. Due to the technical nature of the 

submarines, the crew is predominantly 

technically trained, which means that 

there is currently a shortage of submarine 

qualified personnel. 

The SA Navy is in the process of 

implementing a strategy aimed at re- 

taining the scarce skills of submariners 

and is actively targeting the submariners 

in the Navy in order to ensure that 

their services are retained.

Irregular price increases in processed 

agricultural products 


Minister for Agriculture and Land Affairs: 

(1) Whether she will request the Competition 

Commission to investigate 

irregular competition and price 

(2) 

increases in processed agricultural 

products; if not, why not; if so, what 


whether the uncertainty regarding 

finalisation of land restitution and 

dealing with land reform is having a 

negative effect on the production and 

supply of livestock, crop harvesting, 

market gardening and forestry produce; 





(1) The Minister for Agriculture and Land 

Affairs appointed the Food Pricing 

Monitoring Committee in January 2003 

in terms of section 7 of the Marketing 

of Agricultural Products Act, Act 47 of 

1997, to investigate price formation in 

food value chains, particularly basic 

foodstuffs. The Committee was tasked 

to engage, during its investigations, 

with food industries value chains and 

regulators like the Competition Commission 

in conducting its investigations 

and to further make its findings public. 

The first task of the Committee was to 

conduct an investigation to determine 

the competitiveness of production and 

food processing operations and price 

formation mechanisms within the food 

value chains. The view was that the 

conclusion of the investigation will 

provide recommendations on required 

productivity improvements in identified 

areas of market inefficiencies and 

distortions; identify incidents of predatory 

pricing and monopolistic tendencies, 

as well as collusive, discrim- 

inatory or otherwise unfair practices. 

Following were the Terms of Reference 

for the Food Pricing Monitoring Committee: 

✓ Monitor the pricing of basic foodstuffs; 

✓ Investigate any sharp or unjustified 

food price increases; 

✓ Determine the competitiveness of 

production operations; and 

✓ Investigate price formation mechanisms 

within the value chains of 

basic foodstuffs by analysing each 

supply chain in terms of the following 

aspects: 

● Number of producers, processors 

and traders and the level of concentration 

at each node 

● Extent of vertical/horizontal integration 

and competition/concentration 

in the supply chain 

● Do a gross margin analysis at each 

node of the supply chain 

● Establish the magnitude of differences 

between urban and rural 

pricing structures and the causal 

factors thereof; 

● Identify major cost drivers in each 

food product’s supply chain; 

● Make recommendations on an appropriate 

environment for optimal 

food pricing. 

✓ Recommend required productivity 

improvements 

✓ Review the effectiveness of government 

systems of research, monitoring 

and information dissemination 

on food prices and policy 

✓ Establish and maintain a national 

food price monitoring database 

✓ Monitor by using the existing sys-


1502 

tem (eg early warning unit), the 

regional (SADC) food situation and 

its possible impact on the national 

food security 

✓ Investigate incidents of predatory 

pricing, discrimination, collusive, 

unfair business practices and monopolistic 

tendencies within the 

basic food supply chains in collaboration 

with the Competition Commission. 

The committee concluded its work and 

generated some recommendations that 

were tabled and approved by Cabinet. 

As part of the recommendations, it was 

approved that the Minister establishes a 

permanent Food Pricing Monitoring 

Unit (FPMU) within the National Agricultural 

Marketing Council to track 

food prices on a permanent basis. The 

FPMU is now fully functional and is 

working closely with the Department of 

Agriculture and the Competition Commission 

on matters pertaining to any 

irregular practices by agro-industries in 

broad. Since the release of the Food 

Price Monitoring Committee report, a 

number of investigations were launched 

on the food industries such as the 

baking, dairy, silo, fertilisers, etc. It 

must therefore be noted that the Minister 

for Agriculture and Land Affairs has 

established a permanent and automatic 

system that is geared towards investi- 

gating any anti-trust practices in industry 

within the agro-industry complex. 

(2) The answer for redistribution will be 

‘‘No’’; thus land reform does not have a 

negative effect on the production and 

supply of livestock, crop harvesting, 

market gardening and forestry produce.

Question of land addressed by 

amending Constitution 

1788. Dr SEMPHEKO (PAC) asked the 


Whether section 25(7) of the Constitution 

of the Republic of South Africa will be 

amended to address the question of land; 





No. The reason for this is that we have 

adequate programmes including restitution, 

redistribution and tenure reform which deal 

with past racially discriminatory laws and 

practices. It was considered unwise to consider 

any land dispossessions pre-dating 

19 June 1913 as these included many tribal 

and ethnic wars. It would not be advisable to 

reopen that chapter. 

Finalisation of BRT system 



(1) Whether any of the host cities are 

advanced in terms of (a) planning 

(2) 

and (b) financing the rollout of a 

fully-serviced and operational Bus 

Rapid Transit (BRT) system in time 

for the 2010 Fifa World Cup; if not, 


so, which cities in each case; 

whether any progress has been made 

with taxi associations relinquishing 

their routes affected by the BRT 

system in favour of shareholding in 

the new bus companies servicing the 

said routes; if not, what is the position 

in this regard; if so, (a) what 

progress and (b) in which cities? 

NW2584E 


(1) (a) Johannesburg, Cape Town, 

Tshwane and Nelson Mandela 

(b) 

Bay are well advanced in planning 

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems 

(Phase 1 projects), that aim to be 

operational by May 2010. 

Johannesburg and Tshwane have 

sufficient funding to commence 

with a basic Phase 1 system. 

Cape Town started slightly later, 

but has now made significant


1538 

strides to gear up to roll out by 

April 2010. This included a City 

of Cape Town contribution of over 

R400m of local funds to the Phase 

1 project. Currently the Department 

of Transport (DoT) and the 

National Treasury are exploring 

options for ensuring that funding 

from the outer years of the Public 

Transport and Infrastructure Systems 

Grant is made available to 

Cape Town in the 2008-09 and 

2009-10 financial years in order to 

ensure implementation by April 

2010. 

Nelson Mandela Bay is planning a 

BRT and at the same time intends 

to restructure public transport 

across the entire City. There is a 

funding shortfall in this regard and 

the City has been asked to 

(2) (a) 

prioritise a core network for 2010. 

At the same the DoT is in discussions 

with the National Treasury 

about increasing the funding allocation 

to Nelson Mandela Bay. 

The Department of Transport has 

held a workshop with the national 

leadership of both the SA National 

Taxi Council (Santaco) and the 

National Taxi Alliance to explain 

the approach to the BRT system 

and that there will be no loss of 

legitimate jobs or profits. The taxi 

industry and the DoT have committed 

to holding a summit to 

discuss this further. This summit 

will also include the provinces and 

host cities. 

(b) At the local sphere, Johannesburg 

is at an advanced stage of negotiations 

with the incumbent bus and 

minibus operators. It is expected 

that an agreement will be reached 

by February 2009. 

Nelson Mandela Bay has held extensive 

discussions with the incumbent 

bus and minibus operators over the past 

three years. There has been a recent 

objection from certain operators who 

feel they have been excluded from the 

consultations and the city is committed 

to ensuring a fully inclusive process. 

Tshwane and Cape Town are beginning 

the initial stages of consulting with the 

incumbent operators and as such will 

learn from the experience of Johannesburg 

and Nelson Mandela Bay and 

will also be guided by the outcomes of 

the national summit on the BRT system 

with the taxi industry. 

Crimes committed with firearms 



How many crimes were committed in the 

past twelve months up to the latest specified 

date for which information is available,

key points; if not, why not; if 

so, how many visits or inspections 

were conducted in the past ten years;


1540 

(2) whether any problems were encouraged 

in each case; if so, (a) what was 

the nature of the problems and (b) 

what actions were taken to remedy 

the problems? NW2656E 


(1) The Presidential Proclamation No 21 

dated 10 February 2004 transferred the 

functions regarding the National Key 

Points Act, Act 102 of 1980 from the 

Minister of Defence to the Minister of 

Safety and Security in terms of section 

97 of the Constitution, Act 10 of 2006. 

Prior to the transfer of the function, the 

SANDF conducted two inspections per 

annum at each of the national key 

points. Where indicated, findings of 

such inspections were presented on a 

monthly basis to the National Key 

Points Committee for rectification. Representation 

on the Committee included 

inter alia officials from departments 

responsible for the various national key 

points. 

(2) At the time of the function transfer to 

the Department of Safety and Security, 

the SANDF personnel responsible for 

executing the function and all relevant 

documentation were transferred to the 

South African Police Services. It is not 

possible, therefore, for the SANDF to 

provide feedback on the nature of 

specific problems that were encountered 

nor what actions have been taken.

industry opportunities 

— Retirement 

— Voluntary Severance Packages 

(4) (a) (i) SAA paid a total of R100m to 

the Competition Commission in 

respect of administrative penalties. 

(ii) Following a complaint by Nationwide 

Airlines, which was referred 

by the Competition Commission 

to the Competition Tribunal, 

SAA’s conduct in regard to 

the operation of its travel agency 

incentive schemes was found to 

be in contravention of the Competition 

Act. SAA was ordered to 

pay an administrative penalty of 

R45m. 

SAA concluded a settlement 

agreement with the Competition 

Commission in respect of 

three investigations conducted 

by the commission into possible 

anti-competitive conduct. The 

investigations related to: (i) 

possible collusion of members 

of the Association of Southern 

African Airlines (ASAA) in regard 

to fuel levies; (ii) a Comair 

complaint in regard to travel

agency incentive schemes; and 

(iii) management of the code 

share relationship between 

SAA and Lufthansa. On application 

by the Commission, the 

Tribunal confirmed the settlement 

agreement as appropriate 

consent orders in terms of section 

58(1)(b) of the Competition 

Act. In the consent orders 

SAA agreed to pay administrative 

penalties amounting to a 

total of R55m.

for assistance and (cc) received assistance 

to start up small businesses in the 

abovementioned sector? NW2362E 

The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND 

LAND AFFAIRS: 

(a) Jobs for Growth was launched in 2006 

as a cross cutting programme involving 

a number of Departments. It was immediately 

moved to the IDT, under the

QUESTIONS 


Department’s carbon footprint 



(1) Whether she will ensure that her 

department (a) monitors and (b) reduces 

its carbon footprint with immediate 

effect; if so, how will this be 

done; 

(2) whether this will include the phasing 

out of glossy publications from all 

agencies or councils reporting to her; 



details; 

(3) (a) what is the estimated cost of all 

such (i) reports and (ii) publications 

per annum in the case of these 

agencies and all other working documents 

of her department and (b) 

what kinds of (i) energy are being 

used in the offices of her department 

and (ii) energy saving measures are 

being implemented in these offices? 

NW1233E 



(1) My departments will strive to make use 

of service providers who provide 

(2) 

‘‘green’’ and eco-friendly services, particularly 

in respect of the publishing of 

official documents. 

Until such time that Parliament and 

other decision-making entities in government 

change their reporting requirements, 

my departments will continue to 

publish documents such as the Strategic 

Plan and Annual Report. The Annual 

Reports and Strategic Plans are printed 

once a year as required by the legislation. 

(3) (a) For PALAMA the cost for the 

printing of the Strategic Plan 

amounted to R62 590 and to 

R121 266 for the Annual Report in 

the 2007-08 period, at quantities 

of 2 000 each. 

For DPSA the cost for the printing 

of the Strategic Plan and the Annual 

Report in the 2007-08 period 

amounted to R239 000, at quantities 

of 1 500 each. 

(b) (i) The Academy (PALAMA) and 

DPSA use energy saving lights 

as far as possible. 

(ii) The air conditioners are switched 

off after hours, weekends and 

holidays. 

In PALAMA, under-counter 

heaters have been installed in 

all of the kitchenettes, so that 

geysers are not used. This reduces 

the demand and usage of 

electricity. In DPSA lighting 

other than emergency lighting is 

switched off during the evenings. 

DPSA has already 

recorded a 13% saving in its 

electricity accounts. 

At PALAMA the landlord has 

been requested to install a timer 

to the electrical circuit, so that 

most lights will turn off in the 

evening without compromising 

security. 

Expenditure on expo at Olympic Games 


of Sport and Recreation: 

What are the reasons for his department 

spending more on the expo at the 2008 

Olympic Games and on the SA Sports 

Confederation and Olympic Committee 

(Sascoc) than on Team SA’s preparations 

for the Olympics? NW2172E


1556 

The MINISTER OF SPORT AND RE- 

CREATION: 

It is incorrect to imply that the department 

spent more funds on the expo (Ekhaya) than 

on team preparation. During the 2007-08 

financial year alone the department spent 

R21 354 569,95 on preparation of the team. 

This amount was split as follows: 

R9 100 000 was allocated to Sascoc; of 

which R6 100 000 was utilised for Operation 

Excellence and R3 000 000 for the 2007 All 

Africa Games which in itself is a preparatory 

event for the Olympic Games. 

The amount of R12 254 569,95 was paid to 

the High Performance Centre at the University 

of Pretoria as they won the tender for the 

preparation of athletes through the National 

Academy Programme. 

The table below shows the breakdown per 

federation of the funds spent on the National 

Academy Programme at the High Performance 

Centre from 2005 to 2008. The total 

spent for the period referred to above is 

R25 270 306,29 excluding funds allocated to 

Sascoc (Olympic sports in italics).

Amount spent on preparations 



What was the total amount of money 

spent on (a) Team SA’s preparations in 

international sports competitions in each 

year since 1994 up to the latest specified 

date for which information is available 

and (b) team officials in all the tournaments? 

NW2264E 


ATION: 

(1) (a) The total amount spent by the 

department on Team SA’s preparations 

for international competitions 

from 1999 to 2008 is 

R247 623 057,69. 

(b) The amount reflected above is 

inclusive of the expenses for team 

management and officials. 

The amounts for 1994 to 1998 inclusive will 

be provided as soon as they are available. 

Flight arrangements of Sascoc officials 



(1) Whether the SA Sports Confederation 

and Olympic Committee 

(Sascoc) has a policy that allows its 

officials to fly business class while 

disabled athletes travel in economy


1560 

class; if so, what are the relevant 

details; if not, 

(2) whether his department intends 

amending the policy to ensure that 

the needs of disabled athletes are 

taken care of; if not, why not; if so, 


NW2308E 


ATION: 

(1) Sascoc does indeed have a policy 

which entitles Board members and staff 

to travel business class. In addition, the 

chef de mission, assistant chef, chief 

medical officer and chief physiotherapist 

also fly business class to events at 

which Sascoc presents a team. 

(2) This is the policy of Sascoc which is an 

NGO. Accordingly my department cannot 

amend the policy. 

Report on performance at Olympics 



(1) Whether his department is compiling 

a report about Team SA’s performance 

at the 2008 Beijing Olympic 

Games; if not, why not; if so, when 

will this report be completed; 

(2) whether the report will be made 

public; if not, why not; if so, what are 



ATION: 

(1) The department is not in a position to 

compile a report on the performance of 

Team SA at the Beijing Olympic 

(2) 

Games as my officials were not part of 

the team management and only played 

a support role in terms of the preparation 

of the team. My officials have, 

however, requested a report from the 

SA Sports Confederation and Olympic 

Committee on the team’s performance 

which will be discussed in detail with 

Sascoc and with the relevant national 

federations if necessary before being 

submitted to myself. 

Sport and Recreation SA has had an 

evaluation workshop of the results of 

Team SA at the Beijing Olympics. The 

findings of the workshop of scientists, 

administrators and sports activists will 

be made available to all interested 

parties. 

My department will also propose to 

Sascoc that the report be made public as 

the team is indeed a national asset and 

significant public funds supported the 

preparation and presentation of the 

team.

Financial support to African leader in 

exile in SA 

1853. Mr J P I BLANCHÉ asked the 

Minister of Foreign Affairs: 

Whether the government has been providing 

financial support for any former African 

leader who has fled his/her country 

and is now living in exile in South Africa; 

if not, what is the position in this regard; if 

so, (a) for whom, (b) what funding is the 

government providing in each case, (c) for 

how long has this funding been provided 

in each case and (d) in each case, what 

total amount has been provided up to the 




The government has not been providing 

financial support to any former African 

leader and there is no former African leader 

who is living in exile in South Africa. The 

decision to host or not to host a former head 

of state at state expense is taken on the basis 

of merit of each case. 

Act 7 of 2002 in effect 

1938. Mr IODAVIDSON (DA) asked the 


Whether all sections of the Animal Health 

Act, Act 7 of 2002, are in effect; if not, (a) 

what sections are not yet in effect, (b) why 

and (c) when will the entire Act become 

effective; if so, what are the relevant 




(a) There are no sections of the Animal 

Health Act, Act 7 of 2002, that are in 

effect. The Animal Health Act was 

promulgated by publication in the 

Government Gazette 23675 of 30 June 

(b) 

2002, but has not been proclaimed yet. 

There are challenges in respect of the 

provincialisation of veterinary services 

and the delegations provided for the 

Animal Health Act are not considered 

conducive to the effectiveness of the 

legislation. 

(c) The challenges with respect to the 

provincialisation of the veterinary services 

need to be resolved first. It is 

necessary to have a harmonised system 

for effective veterinary services. 

Funds allocated to certain companies 



(1) Whether her department allocated 

any funds to certain companies 

(2) 

(names furnished) in each of the past 

five years up to the latest specified 

date for which information is available; 


this regard; if so, (a) how much, (b) 

when and (c) on what was it spent; 

whether any such funding will be 

supplied to these institutions in the 

future; if not, what is the position in 





(1) No. The Bethelsdorp Development 

Trust applied for funding in June 2006 

to purchase land for the purpose of 

creating a facility for hand weaving and 

other ventures. A property valuation 

was done and the seller did not agree to 

the proposed selling price. He later 

found another buyer to purchase the 

land before any further negations could 

be finalised. 

(a) to (c) Fall away. 

(2) All applications for land reform grants 

are adjudicated on merit and in terms of 

policy provisions and priority criteria.
