Chapter 1D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C EF o r e w o r d b y t h eH o n o u r a b l e M i n i s t e ro f D e f e n c e a n dM i l i t a r y V e t e r a n s ,L . N . S i s u l u , M PThe year under review has, from the outset, been framed bythe challenge issued by His Excellency JG Zuma, Presiden<strong>to</strong>f the Republic <strong>of</strong> South Africa during his State <strong>of</strong> the Nationaddress <strong>of</strong> 11 February 2010. Here he articulated the strategicfocus <strong>of</strong> Government and its commitment <strong>to</strong> build astrong developmental state, able <strong>to</strong> respond <strong>to</strong> the needs andaspirations <strong>of</strong> the people <strong>of</strong> the country, and able <strong>to</strong> performbetter and faster.This was amplified through the affirmation that the strategicintent <strong>of</strong> Government for the period was <strong>to</strong> build a performance-orientatedstate, through the optimising <strong>of</strong> planning aswell as performance moni<strong>to</strong>ring and evaluation. Efforts were<strong>to</strong> be measured by outcomes, with an emphasis on accountabilityand an action orientation.Within the parameters <strong>of</strong> this context, the <strong>Department</strong>s <strong>of</strong><strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veterans have embarked on the vigorouspursuance <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> key strategic objectives. Thesehave included, inter alia, a focus on such pivotal elements asthe creation <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Defence</strong> Dispensation; ensuring the fullfunctionality <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Military Veterans;addressing audit qualifications; border security; <strong>Defence</strong>infrastructure and budget. We also committed ourselves <strong>to</strong> amuch-needed policy review in a number <strong>of</strong> critical sec<strong>to</strong>rsincluding the repositioning <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Secretariat, thecreation <strong>of</strong> a National Youth Service, and the repositioning <strong>of</strong>the <strong>Defence</strong> Industry. These areas <strong>of</strong> policy review haveyielded noteworthy results, and the positive realisation <strong>of</strong>these is anticipated.Furthermore, it is with much pleasure that we are able <strong>to</strong>report on significant achievements in the majority <strong>of</strong> all otherdomains. Most notably, a revised defence dispensation hasbeen instituted, with the associated <strong>Defence</strong> Amendment Billbeing passed in Parliament. This will impact significantly onthe ability <strong>of</strong> the department <strong>to</strong> address such key aspects asANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011MS L.N. SISULUMINISTER OF DEFENCE ANDMILITARY VETERANSaccommodation, grievance resolution and discipline, as wellas <strong>to</strong> optimise matters <strong>of</strong> human resource administration,including remuneration, conditions <strong>of</strong> service in recognition<strong>of</strong> associated hardships inherrently unique <strong>to</strong> the military.Furthermore, the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Military Veterans has beenestablished, with the structures having been approved by the<strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Service and Administration on 30 June2010. In support <strong>of</strong> this entity, the requisite regulations havebeen drafted, including the Military Veterans Affairs Bill.The matters <strong>of</strong> good governance in general, and audit quali-xi


D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C Efications in particular, have been systematically pursuedthrough a programme <strong>of</strong> interventions addressing internaldepartmental controls. This has had the desired outcome,with the concomitant reduction in audit qualifications fromseven in FY2007/08 <strong>to</strong> one in the FY2010/11. The remainingaudit qualification falls within the defence asset domain, anarea <strong>of</strong> genetic disadvantage in defence departments internationally,given the unique nature <strong>of</strong> the core business. Thematter <strong>of</strong> asset management, both pertaining <strong>to</strong> tangible andintangible assets, will remain a critical departmental objectivein the coming period.We are particularly proud <strong>to</strong> report on the return <strong>of</strong> our menand women <strong>to</strong> the borders. Currently, some 1500 kilometres<strong>of</strong> border are being covered, with this distance anticipated <strong>to</strong>expand <strong>to</strong> some 4 471 kilometres <strong>of</strong> land border, 2 700 kilometres<strong>of</strong> maritime border and 76 600 kilometres <strong>of</strong> air borderby the end <strong>of</strong> the deployment. The effects <strong>of</strong> this presenceare readily apparent, with cross-border crime having declinedsignificantly.The matter <strong>of</strong> infrastructure has received considerable attention,and we are gratified <strong>to</strong> note that on 01 April 2011 the<strong>Defence</strong> Works Capability was formally instituted. This hasbeen the result <strong>of</strong> constructive deliberation between thedepartment and the National <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Works inorder <strong>to</strong> give effect <strong>to</strong> our intent <strong>of</strong> establishing a <strong>Defence</strong>Estate Management mechanism. The implementation <strong>of</strong> thecapability in its full spectrum will receive our continued attentionin the forthcoming period.Two areas which have not seen full resolution have been therevitalisation <strong>of</strong> the landward forces and the expansion <strong>of</strong> thebudget in order <strong>to</strong> accommodate the emergent Constitutionalrequirements. These priorities will remain key strategic focusareas for FY2011/12.Further critical priorities which shall occupy our attention inthe coming period will include, inter alia, entrenchment <strong>of</strong> ournew dispensation for South African National <strong>Defence</strong> Forcemembers, and the associated improvement <strong>of</strong> the conditionswithin the South African National Derence Force, includingthe pressing concerns, raised by the Interim National<strong>Defence</strong> Force Commission, <strong>of</strong> accommodation. Our effortsin supporting Government intent on the matter <strong>of</strong> youth ingeneral and furthering our agenda with regard <strong>to</strong> the NationalYouth Service in particular, will receive our concerted attention.The effects <strong>of</strong> the successful implementation <strong>of</strong> this initiativewill be significant, and we await the realisation there<strong>of</strong>with anticipation.The defence and security <strong>of</strong> South Africa is inextricablylinked <strong>to</strong> that <strong>of</strong> the region and continent. South Africa isessentially a lit<strong>to</strong>ral state, and accordingly the requirementfor a balanced maritime capability, able <strong>to</strong> respond <strong>to</strong> identifiedand potential maritime security threats, is undisputed.This is particularly pertinent, given the recent escalation <strong>of</strong>maritime crime in the region. This matter will therefore begiven particular focus in our efforts.Additional priorities for FY2011/12 remain the matter <strong>of</strong> therepositioning <strong>of</strong> ARMSCOR and DENEL, <strong>to</strong> ensure synthesisbetween these entities and departmental requirements,and the revitalisation <strong>of</strong> our Reserve Force.In conclusion, allow me <strong>to</strong> acknowledge the dedication, loyaltyand commitment <strong>of</strong> our men and women who serve ourcountry and who so relentlessly pursue the furthering <strong>of</strong> ourstrategic intent as a department. We extend our considerableappreciation <strong>to</strong> all those who have so selflessly ensured thatthe year under review, has been such a notable success.(MS L. N.

In pursuit <strong>of</strong> this priority, the organisationalstructure <strong>of</strong> this department was designed andapproved by the Minister on 28 May 2010, subsequent<strong>to</strong> the approval, a determination <strong>of</strong> functions was doneby the Minister <strong>of</strong> Public Service & Administration. Theappointment <strong>of</strong> the senior members is in process andwill be completed in the early part <strong>of</strong> FY2011/12. Toensure a mandate for the department, the MilitaryVeterans Affairs Bill has been drafted and the costing <strong>of</strong>military veterans' benefits as contemplated in the Bill iscurrently being considered by Cabinet.Rejuvenation and Upgrading <strong>of</strong> the LandwardProgramme. This project has been prioritised for theANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011


D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C EFY2011/12. The Landward <strong>Defence</strong> Capability has nothad the advantage <strong>of</strong> being part <strong>of</strong> the Strategic <strong>Defence</strong>Package programme and is thus lagging in technologicallyadvanced prime mission equipment. The developmen<strong>to</strong>f this capability relies on the acquisition <strong>of</strong> specificcombat and logistic product systems. This capabilityis essential <strong>to</strong> ensure the sustainment <strong>of</strong> deploymentsbeyond the borders <strong>of</strong> the RSA. Apart from additionalfunding allocated for the upgrade <strong>of</strong> the operationalambulance fleet in FY2011/12, no additional funds havebeen allocated or approved.Infrastructure and the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong>Works Regiment. At the end <strong>of</strong> the period underreview, Project LEBAKA was completed and transferredfrom the SA Army <strong>to</strong> the Logistics Division andmerged with the Service Corps and existing facilitymanagement agencies <strong>to</strong> form the <strong>Defence</strong> WorksCapability. The macro-structure was approved by theMinister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> on 23 March 2011. Subsequently,the A/CSANDF issued an implementation instructionfor the establishment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Works Formationunder command <strong>of</strong> Chief <strong>of</strong> Logistics with effect from01 April 2011. The new formation is aimed at providingefficient, effective and economical operational levelfacility management, including maintenance, repair andconstruction, in support <strong>of</strong> the strategy and objectives <strong>of</strong>the DOD. The Service Corps, previously under command<strong>of</strong> Chief <strong>of</strong> Human Resources, has also been integratedin<strong>to</strong> this capability. Skills development traininghas been undertaken with 676 members (56 alreadyqualified) who have gained valuable practical experienceby working on DOD and other construction projects.These members will form the core <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong>Works Formation.Alignment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> Secretariat with its Constitutionaland Legislative Mandate. Research has beenconducted in<strong>to</strong> the best possible manner <strong>of</strong> repositioningthe <strong>Defence</strong> Secretariat so as <strong>to</strong> assist the Minister in hercivil control responsibility. Both domestic and internationalexperiences were taken in<strong>to</strong> account in thisresearch. During 2010, a <strong>Defence</strong> Secretariat repositionproposal was submitted <strong>to</strong> the Minister for consideration.Depending on which option is adopted, the repositioning<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Secretariat might have consequentialpolicy implications.The Establishment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Force ServiceCommission and Supporting Structures. The <strong>Defence</strong>Amendment Act (Act No 22 <strong>of</strong> 2010) which providesfor the establishment <strong>of</strong> the permanent <strong>Defence</strong> ForceService Commission was promulgated in December2010. FY2011/12 will see the promulgation <strong>of</strong> theapplicable regulations <strong>to</strong> give content <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong>Amendment Act with respect <strong>to</strong> the ServiceCommission. Over and above this, all necessary supportstructures <strong>to</strong> the Service Commission will also be establishedand operationalised.Transformation <strong>of</strong> ARMSCOR. ARMSCOR is establishedin terms <strong>of</strong> legislation <strong>to</strong> serve as the acquisitionagency <strong>of</strong> the DOD. ARMSCOR is therefore a criticalstakeholder in so far as the SANDF operational effectivenessis concerned. ARMSCOR falls under the jurisdictionalauthority <strong>of</strong> the Minister. Experience over theyears has repeatedly pointed <strong>to</strong>wards the need for areview <strong>of</strong> the relationship between the DOD and ARM-SCOR so as <strong>to</strong> enhance efficiency and economy. A conceptualFramework for the repositioning <strong>of</strong> ARMSCORhas been developed. This framework addresses details<strong>of</strong> the relationship between ARMSCOR and the DOD inthe areas <strong>of</strong> business process, governance, risk, complianceand accounting.Incremental Refocusing <strong>of</strong> DENEL <strong>to</strong> Support theidentified <strong>Defence</strong> Strategic Capabilities. DENEL isa public enterprise that falls under the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> theMinister <strong>of</strong> Public Enterprises. DENEL is crucial <strong>to</strong> theDOD in as much as it serves as the reposi<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>of</strong> certainSANDF strategic capabilities. Noting the importance <strong>of</strong>DENEL <strong>to</strong> the SANDF operational efficiency and effectiveness,the DOD has adopted a framework whichforms the basis <strong>of</strong> its discussions with the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong>Public Enterprises on its relationship with DENEL. Theaim is an end state in which DENEL remains a strategicsupplier <strong>to</strong> the DOD whilst maintaining economic viabilityin its own right.Promote a Culture <strong>of</strong> Good Governance Prescripts.During 2009, the DOD introduced specific interventions<strong>to</strong> strengthen internal controls. These interventions haveresulted in the reduction <strong>of</strong> audit qualifications fromseven <strong>to</strong> one. The one remaining audit qualification inthe area <strong>of</strong> defence asset management has been the focusfor this financial year. International experience hasshown that most defence forces across the world experiencemajor challenges with asset management.Notwithstanding this, the DOD has made significantimprovement <strong>to</strong> the management <strong>of</strong> its tangible andintangible assets. A new single logistic process has beendeveloped <strong>to</strong> ensure compliance with National Treasuryaccounting and reporting requirements and internationalauditing standards. An organisational structure wasdeveloped <strong>to</strong> support this process.Information Technology (IT). The pilot HumanResource Module has been rolled-out with a formallaunch by the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Service andAdministration. The DOD is currently undergoing trainingand testing <strong>of</strong> the module which is intended <strong>to</strong>replace the current Human Resources application withinthe National Treasury set timelines. The DOD and theNational Treasury are finalising the discussions <strong>to</strong> gainapproval for the lifting <strong>of</strong> the mora<strong>to</strong>rium for the developmen<strong>to</strong>f the DOD unique logistics systems.

The <strong>Defence</strong> StrategyConceptual Framework has been completed and hasbeen accepted by the Minister. This can now be discussedwith Cabinet as part <strong>of</strong> the consultation process.The Revitalisation <strong>of</strong> the Reserves. The <strong>Defence</strong>Amendment Act (Act 22 <strong>of</strong> 2010) promulgated in December2010 makes provision for the utilisation <strong>of</strong>Reserve members and their obligation <strong>to</strong> serve in times<strong>of</strong> need. The implementation <strong>of</strong> the legislative provisionsshall be given effect through the applicable regulationsand contracts <strong>to</strong> be developed during the course <strong>of</strong>FY2011/12. The roll-out <strong>of</strong> the University ReserveTraining Programme for under-graduates is progressingwell, with a number <strong>of</strong> tertiary education institutionsparticipating in the programme.Optimal Utilisation <strong>of</strong> the Collateral Value <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong>Capabilities in Responding <strong>to</strong> the Country'sSocio-Economic Needs. The SANDF prepared andemployed multi-roled military capabilities on requestand in accordance with the prescripts <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Act(42 <strong>of</strong> 2002) in support <strong>of</strong> other government departments.Border safeguarding, safety and security support,maintaining essential services, disaster relief andhumanitarian assistance and search and rescue missionswere conducted during the period under review.Assistance provided <strong>to</strong> 74 hospitals during the nationalstrike <strong>of</strong> nursing personnel, is a particular case in point.In addition, two bridges were constructed by the SAArmy engineers in the Eastern Cape <strong>to</strong> provide safe andeasy access <strong>to</strong> the local communities.Provide a lead <strong>to</strong> the development and Implementation<strong>of</strong> the Community Service Programme. A conceptpaper on a National Youth Service has been completedand approved. A pilot programme was launchedin Bloemfontein with a group <strong>of</strong> 500 recruits undergoingtraining.

The primaryresponsibility <strong>of</strong> the Ministry <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> was <strong>to</strong> provide politicaldirection <strong>to</strong> the DOD enabling a contribution <strong>to</strong> globalpeace, security and stability through the deployment <strong>of</strong> theSANDF in peacekeeping missions and the participation indefence-related bilateral and multilateral engagements.The period under review began with the SANDF gearing upfor the increased demand on internal deployment capabilities<strong>to</strong> support the South African Police Service (SAPS). Duringthe 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup the SANDF (OperationKGWELE) supported the SAPS by deploying on average4 573 members per day, ensuring the maintenance <strong>of</strong> a safeand secure South Africa. The success <strong>of</strong> this event proved <strong>to</strong>the sceptics and the international community that SouthAfrica could successfully host world class major events. TheSANDF also provided internal assistance during the xenophobiaincidents, public service strikes, the opening <strong>of</strong>Parliament and the voter registration security for the 2011local elections. The SANDF successfully partnered with theSAPS by providing personnel, helicopters and fixed wing aircraftfor the crime combating operation DUTY CALLS duringthe festive season.In compliance with the Cabinet decision for the SANDF <strong>to</strong>return <strong>to</strong> border safeguarding, the Minister directed theSANDF <strong>to</strong> undertake this function effectively. Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> thedeployment was completed by the 1 st April 2011; the deploymenthas now moved in<strong>to</strong> Phase 2 <strong>to</strong> cover additional areasidentified for border safeguarding.Internally, in order <strong>to</strong> ensure full functionality <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Military Veterans (DMV), the MilitaryVeterans Bill was presented and approved during December2010. An analysis and determination <strong>of</strong> the strategic resourcerequirement <strong>of</strong> the DMV was completed and presented <strong>to</strong> theMinister at the Ministerial Work session in March 2011. TheMTEF budget costing and MTEC funding requirements, asapproved by the Minister, were articulated in a CabinetMemorandum and presented <strong>to</strong> Cabinet on 16 March 2011.The Minister is in the process <strong>of</strong> formulating departmentalregulations and policies in support <strong>of</strong> the approved Bill.The Minister appointed a new Secretary for <strong>Defence</strong> and anew Chief Financial Officer during the year under review.The Minister directed the DOD <strong>to</strong> resolve all audit qualificationsin pursuance <strong>of</strong> the consolidation <strong>of</strong> good corporategovernance, effective administration and accounting.

Within the context <strong>of</strong> many achievements, theDOD is grappling with a limited budgetary allocation.Comprehensive plans <strong>of</strong> action have been generated andimplemented in order <strong>to</strong> prioritise defence objectives andoptimise performance accordingly. In pursuit <strong>of</strong> the DOD'smandate <strong>to</strong> provide, prepare and employ defence capabilitiescommensurate with the needs <strong>of</strong> South Africa, a multitude <strong>of</strong>decisive interventions aimed at improving the quality <strong>of</strong> lives<strong>of</strong> all the people <strong>of</strong> South Africa, the region, the continent andthe globe were successfully implemented and are reportedherein.In the year under review, underperformance and revised targetswere mainly as a result <strong>of</strong> severe underfunding <strong>of</strong> therenewal <strong>of</strong> the Landward <strong>Defence</strong> Programme. The integrationand operationalisation <strong>of</strong> the Strategic <strong>Defence</strong> Packageswere also affected by limited funding. The poor state <strong>of</strong> facilities,IT infrastructure obsolescence in the financial, logisticsand human resource domains as well as prime mission equipmentmaintenance negatively impacted the efficient andeffective functioning <strong>of</strong> the DOD. The loss <strong>of</strong> scarce skillsprior <strong>to</strong> specific interventions aimed at retention, led <strong>to</strong> ashortage <strong>of</strong> critical personnel resulting in the overburdening<strong>of</strong> the remaining capacity especially in the training environment.P e a c e M i s s i o n sIn pursuit <strong>of</strong> the Government's support for peace, security andstability and <strong>to</strong> enhance the diplomatic initiatives in the regionand the continent, the DOD continued <strong>to</strong> play a pivotal roleduring the year under review. On average a <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 2 238SANDF members including 148 Reserves, were deployed intwo Peace Support Operations in the Democratic Republic <strong>of</strong>Congo (DRC) and Sudan, as well as three general militaryassistance operations in the DRC, the Central AfricanRepublic (CAR) and the rendering <strong>of</strong> support <strong>to</strong> theMozambique Government <strong>to</strong> curb piracy in the Mozambique6The Secretary for <strong>Defence</strong>,Ms N.Z.H.

A <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 556 099 man days wereused during internal operations. The deployment <strong>of</strong> theSANDF for border safeguarding ensured that 20 613 illegalimmigrants were apprehended, 263 criminals were arrested,21 s<strong>to</strong>len vehicles were recovered, 14 weapons were recovered,18 lives<strong>to</strong>ck were recovered and various narcotics wereconfiscated including 807kg marijuana (dagga), 137g tik-tikand 122 mandrax tablets.

The mandate <strong>of</strong>the DFSC will be amongst others, <strong>to</strong> focus on the conditions<strong>of</strong> service <strong>of</strong> SANDF members. Support structures <strong>to</strong> facilitatethe mandate <strong>of</strong> the DFSC are <strong>to</strong> be completed during theFY2011/12.M i l i t a r y V e t e r a n sThe <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Military Veterans was proclaimed inDecember 2009. The organisational structure <strong>of</strong> the departmentwas approved by the Minister on 28 May 2010, subsequent<strong>to</strong> the approval, a determination <strong>of</strong> functions was doneby the Minister <strong>of</strong> Public Service & Administration. TheDirec<strong>to</strong>r-General <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong> has been appointed andother senior members <strong>of</strong> the department are in the process <strong>of</strong>appointment. This senior staff appointment process will becompleted in the early part <strong>of</strong> FY2011/12.In order <strong>to</strong> realise the mandate <strong>of</strong> the department, the MilitaryVeterans Affairs Bill has been drafted. The costing <strong>of</strong> militaryveterans benefits contemplated in the Bill was considered andapproved by Cabinet. The implementation <strong>of</strong> the Act willoccur soon after the Bill has been passed by Parliament andaccented <strong>to</strong> by the President. It is, however, important <strong>to</strong> notethat the full realisation <strong>of</strong> the object <strong>of</strong> the Military VeteransAffairs Bill will be largely dependent on the availability <strong>of</strong>the necessary budget for both the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> MilitaryVeterans and the budget allocation in other governmentdepartments <strong>to</strong>wards the benefits for military veterans. It iswith this understanding that the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> MilitaryVeterans accords this matter the priority status it deserves.The costing <strong>of</strong> military veterans' benefits, which include theNon-statu<strong>to</strong>ry Forces (NSF) pension, as contemplated in theBill is currently being considered by Cabinet. The finalisation<strong>of</strong> the necessary budget for the NSF pension will enablethe payment <strong>of</strong> the NSF pension <strong>to</strong> the deserving militaryveterans.N a t i o n a l Y o u t h S e r v i c eThe DOD drafted the MOU with the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> RuralDevelopment and Land Reform on co-operation regardingNational Youth Service (NYS), with particular reference <strong>to</strong> apilot programme. Participation in meetings with variousyouth stakeholders in order <strong>to</strong> consult on the DOD's conceptfor NYS (i.e. the National Youth Development Agency, politicalparties, religious organisations, etc) was undertaken. AConference that <strong>to</strong>ok place in Egypt during late Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2010was organised by the International Association for NYSwhere the DOD was represented; thereafter a report with recommendationswas submitted <strong>to</strong> the Sec Def. On 04 November2010 a presentation was submitted <strong>to</strong> the Minister onthe DOD's concept for NYS. The DOD has also participatedin various social responsibility activities which have assistedin the improvement <strong>of</strong> the living conditions <strong>of</strong> the youth inthe previously disadvantaged communities.During the period under review, the concept paper on NYSwas completed and at the same time a pilot programme inBloemfontein <strong>to</strong>ok place with a group <strong>of</strong> 500 recruits undergoingtraining. A further 1 500 recruits will be trained and areplanned for FY2011/12, 2 000 recruits planned forFY2012/13 and 6 000 recruits planned for FY2013/14.P r o v i s i o n o f S k i l l sThe Military Skills Development System (MSDS) wasimplemented in January 2003 with the aim <strong>to</strong> provide theSANDF with military trained human resources as requiredfor force preparation and force employment specifications. Itforms the DOD's primary contribution <strong>to</strong> youth developmentand alleviates unemployment and poverty by preparingyoung people between the age <strong>of</strong> 18 and 26 years for rewardingcareers either in the SANDF or for decent employment inthe broader public and private sec<strong>to</strong>rs. The MSDS is a twoyearcontract based service system and is the main feeder systemfor the Regulars and Reserves.Since the inception <strong>of</strong> the MSDS, 33 536 youths participatedin the system <strong>of</strong> the SANDF. Of the <strong>to</strong>tal intake, 8 542 arecurrently serving in the MSDS, 6 770 have separated fromthe SANDF, <strong>of</strong> whom 4 821 are serving in the Reserves, and18 224 translated <strong>to</strong> the Regulars where they are undergoingadvanced training in various disciplines and are being utilisedaccordingly. The results <strong>of</strong> implementing the MSDS are bestviewed from the vantage point <strong>of</strong> rank-age compliance: only10.8% <strong>of</strong> Privates were in the age group 18 <strong>to</strong> 24 years old inthe year 2000 compared <strong>to</strong> 55% currently. The MSDS also isa feeder system, at entry levels, <strong>of</strong> scarce skills and criticalmusterings. Since its inception, 6 172 youths were employedin critical musterings i.e. air space control, aircrew, combatnavy, engineer, medical pr<strong>of</strong>essional, nursing, technical andtechnical air. Thus, the MSDS significantly contributes, atentry level, <strong>to</strong> the sustainment <strong>of</strong> scarce skills and criticalmusterings.The young men and women who emerge after MSDS serviceare on the whole, much more mature, disciplined, servicedelivery orientated, career orientated and patriotic than onewould normally expect from young people who have justcompleted high-school. Through the MSDS, the SANDFcontinues <strong>to</strong> invest directly in South Africa's most importantasset, our youth. In support <strong>of</strong> the government outcome onjob creation, the DOD plans <strong>to</strong> create job opportunities for5 700 young South Africans per year through the MSDS.ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 7


D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C ER e v i t a l i s a t i o n o f t h e R e s e r v e sThe current Reserves strength has increased <strong>to</strong> 26 147 <strong>of</strong>which approximately 84% are from the previously disadvantagedgroups. About 12 000 Reserves are calledup per year.This has enabled the DOD not only <strong>to</strong> utilise the Reserves inexternal deployment but also <strong>to</strong> deploy them on the borderswhere they are achieving success. During the reporting year,the <strong>Defence</strong> Act was amended <strong>to</strong> make it compulsory for theReserves <strong>to</strong> respond <strong>to</strong> call-ups not only in times <strong>of</strong> war butalso in times <strong>of</strong> need. This has provided the ability <strong>to</strong> investin the development <strong>of</strong> the Reserves.B o r d e r S e c u r i t yAs per the 2009 Cabinet decision, the SANDF has assumedthe border safeguarding function. In execution <strong>of</strong> this taskunder Operation CORONA, the SANDF has adopted aphased strategy. The first phase <strong>of</strong> the borders betweenZimbabwe and South Africa and the second phase <strong>of</strong> the borderbetween Mozambique and South Africa have been rolledout. The last phase <strong>of</strong> the strategy with regard <strong>to</strong> the Lesothoand South Africa border will be completed by FY2012/13.The safeguarding <strong>of</strong> the borders <strong>of</strong> South Africa is one <strong>of</strong> thekey responsibilities <strong>of</strong> government which helps protect thepeople and the economy <strong>of</strong> the country from illegal crossings<strong>of</strong> people as well as the illegal exportation and importation <strong>of</strong>goods. In the short period that the SANDF has been on theborders, numerous illegal activities have been s<strong>to</strong>pped andprevented. The positive outcomes achieved by the SANDFwith the border safeguarding function will escalate as theSANDF's presence at borders is expanded.P o l i c y R e v i e wDuring September 2010, a work team finalized the developmen<strong>to</strong>f the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy Conceptual Framework as aprelude <strong>to</strong> the development and drafting <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong>Strategy. The <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy Conceptual Framework waspresented <strong>to</strong> the Minister during March 2011 for her considerationand approval. As a further input <strong>to</strong> the development <strong>of</strong>the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy, two detailed staff papers pertaining <strong>to</strong>geostrategic environment and defence scenarios as key elements<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy are in the process <strong>of</strong> development.It is envisaged that the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy will be consideredfor approval by the Minister during the course <strong>of</strong> theFY2011/12 after a public/stakeholder consultation processhas been finalized. In addition <strong>to</strong> the above, a staff paper onthe National Security Strategy is in the process <strong>of</strong> developmentwithin which the National Security Strategy Policyanchors impacting on <strong>Defence</strong> are <strong>to</strong> be identified.D e f e n c e W o r k s C a p a b i l i t yThe reversal <strong>of</strong> the DOD deteriorating infrastructure requiresboth additional financial allocations and increased technicalcapacity. In order <strong>to</strong> address the declining state <strong>of</strong> defenceinfrastructure, the DOD will be finalising discussions withthe National <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Works on the establishmen<strong>to</strong>f the <strong>Defence</strong> Estate Management mechanism whichwill result in DOD progressively exiting from its currentarrangement on Property and Facilities Management with the<strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Works. In pursuance <strong>of</strong> this objectiveand the roll-out <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Works Capability, which is anin-house capacity <strong>to</strong> maintain and repair defence facilities,will be implemented in the coming financial year. On 01April 2011 Project LEBAKA <strong>of</strong>ficially merged with ServiceCorps and existing Facility Management elements <strong>to</strong> form the<strong>Defence</strong> Works Capability. The new formation is aimed atproviding efficient, effective and economical operationallevel facility management in support <strong>of</strong> the strategy andobjectives <strong>of</strong> the DOD. The macro-structure <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong>Works Capability was approved by the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong>on 23 March 2011. Subsequently, the A/CSANDF issued animplementation instruction for the establishment <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Defence</strong> Works Formation with effect from 01 April 2011.C l e a n A u d i tThe DOD has reduced audit qualifications from 16 <strong>to</strong> sevenin FY2008/09. In the FY2009/10 the DOD introduced specificinterventions <strong>to</strong> strengthen its internal controls and <strong>to</strong>improve financial processes. These interventions furtherresulted in the reduction <strong>of</strong> qualifications from seven <strong>to</strong> one.During FY2010/11 particular focus was paid on addressingthe one very complex remaining asset management qualification.Other matters <strong>of</strong> emphasis include the continuousenhancement <strong>of</strong> financial management and internal controls.International experience shows that the asset managementchallenge is not unique and is inherent in most <strong>Defence</strong>Forces across the World. International benchmarking is beingpursued with the Audi<strong>to</strong>r General, the Accountant Generaland the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) inorder <strong>to</strong> implement a sustainable solution <strong>to</strong> this challenge.Notwithstanding this, the DOD has made significant progressin putting action plans in place <strong>to</strong> address the qualificationon tangible and intangible assets.8ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011


D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C EThe audit on tangible assets has registered progress, with theaudit <strong>of</strong> the immovable assets, such as properties and thelarge assets including transportation and equipment, alreadycompleted.In order <strong>to</strong> sustain the achieved audit results, the DOD has,during the period under review, embarked on a process <strong>to</strong>ensure robust internal controls. The Accounting Officer andChief Financial Officer <strong>of</strong> the DOD were appointed witheffect from 01 April 2010 and 01 May 2010 respectively.These appointments have contributed <strong>to</strong> stability in the DODaudit process.

However, the DOD has increased the fundsfor the upcoming years in order <strong>to</strong> decrease the maintenancebacklog.Actual Maintenance Expenditure. The DOD expresseddissatisfaction with the resources allocated by NDPW formaintenance projects. The figures provided by the NDPW on25 February 2011 are as follows: Projected expenditure Rm112.8 Funds committed Rm101.2 Expenditure Rm81.7Addressing the Maintenance Backlog. Insufficient progresswas made by NDPW <strong>to</strong> address the maintenance backlogcreating an increased in the backlog. In addressing theproblem, the NDPW has embarked on a RefurbishmentProgramme in place <strong>of</strong> the Repair and MaintenanceProgramme (RAMP), which will address the backlog duringthe MTEF period.

TheICS Control Plan controls the implementation <strong>of</strong> the DODInformation Strategy <strong>to</strong> enable the systematic improvemen<strong>to</strong>f the effectiveness and interoperability <strong>of</strong> the ICS <strong>of</strong> theDOD. ICS policies are promulgated in accordance with theICS Policy Development plan. The risk identified within theDivision regarding possible non-realisation <strong>of</strong> promulgatedICS Policy was mitigated and managed by an ICS PolicyDevelopment Plan executed by the Command andManagement Information System (CMIS) Division by callingup Reserve Force members <strong>to</strong> provide the capacity andcapability.To improve inter-operability and interconnectivity betweeninformation and communication systems within and external<strong>to</strong> the DOD, the following ICS Strategic Studies were completedand approved. These include the following:<strong>Defence</strong> Information and Communication SystemStandard on De-Militarised Zone (DMZ)<strong>Defence</strong> Data and Information Standard for Data warehouseStrategic Study on the use <strong>of</strong> Virtualisation Technologies<strong>Defence</strong> Information and Communication SystemStandard for Key Public InfrastructureDuring the period under review, another main concern was <strong>to</strong>systematically improve compatibility and interoperability <strong>of</strong>the ICS <strong>of</strong> the DOD through collaboration with the NationalTreasury in preparation for the rollout <strong>of</strong> the IntegrationFinancial Management System (IFMS).The Human Resources (HR) Module, led by the Departmen<strong>to</strong>f Public Service & Administration (DPSA), was rolled outwith a formal launch in February 2011.

D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C ES U B P R O G R A M M E : F I N A N C I A LS E R V I C E SO v e r v i e wDuring the reporting period, the Financial ManagementDivision played a pivotal role in ensuring that the DOD continued<strong>to</strong> uphold the principles <strong>of</strong> best practice <strong>of</strong> financialmanagement. The Division ensures an environment in whichthe prescribed deliverables in the utilisation <strong>of</strong> resources arein line with the principles in the Public Finance ManagementAct (PFMA) <strong>of</strong> efficiency, effectiveness and economy. Theprescribed products include, inter alia, the Estimates <strong>of</strong>National Revenue and Expenditure, the Annual and InterimFinancial Statements and the internal Financial Managementinformation and other related reports used for decision-makingin the DOD such as the monthly Early Warning Reportson expenditure and cash flow as well as those that are submitted<strong>to</strong> the National Treasury.In support <strong>of</strong> the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong>'s commitment <strong>to</strong> cleaningup the audit report, the Division coordinated the achievemen<strong>to</strong>f an improvement in the audit outcomes during theyear under review, within the auspices <strong>of</strong> the Operation CleanAudit project whose central aim is <strong>to</strong> produce positive annualaudit outcomes for the DOD. Sustainable mitigation plans<strong>of</strong> action have been put in place <strong>to</strong> ensure that the negativeaudit outcomes <strong>of</strong> the past years do not recur and that the onlyoutstanding asset management audit qualification is alsoeliminated.During the year under review, the Division has worked hardat refining departmental financial processes, systems andpolicies with a view <strong>to</strong> aligning them with the public financemanagement regula<strong>to</strong>ry framework in order <strong>to</strong> improve servicedelivery. It is planned that in the coming year, anAccounting Manual will be completed <strong>to</strong> serve as a <strong>to</strong>ol <strong>to</strong>empower the DOD regarding defence accounting standards.Furthermore, the Division collaborated with other key roleplayersin the analysis <strong>of</strong> key issues during preparation forDOD appearance before the Parliamentary Committees suchas the Portfolio Committee on <strong>Defence</strong> (PCD) and theStanding Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) on budgetaryand financial aspects <strong>of</strong> the strategic plan and theAnnual Report. The SCOPA preparation was used <strong>to</strong> sensitisethe DOD <strong>to</strong> key risk areas that contribute <strong>to</strong> the negative outcomesin the financial statements <strong>of</strong> the DOD, such as irregularexpenditure, fruitless and wasteful expenditure and unauthorisedexpenditure.The Financial Accounting function paid suppliers <strong>of</strong> goodsand services and remunerated personnel within the determinedtime frames. Financial transactions were recorded andreported as required. Initiatives are in progress <strong>to</strong> improvepayments and reduce cash in circulation through the introduction<strong>of</strong> electronic methods <strong>of</strong> payment, for which a purchasecard is currently under investigation.In the area <strong>of</strong> budget Management, the Division providedadvice and support in giving effect <strong>to</strong> both government prioritiesand DOD initiatives within appropriate adjustments duringthe year under review. These initiatives included interalia, general modernisation, MSDS, improved infrastructure,training <strong>of</strong> Reserves, compensation <strong>of</strong> employees and peacesupport operations within a limited budget. The Division als<strong>of</strong>ocussed on improving revenue management by enhancingexisting policies, providing comprehensive monthly datafrom the logistic and personnel feeder systems, despite theiroutdated status. Budget Management also participated in thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> the IFMS, while at the same time it enhancedthe existing Financial Management system <strong>to</strong> ensure compliancewith the new economic reporting framework.Despite high staff turnover, the division continued the excellentservice in respect <strong>of</strong> its mandate.

This has been achievedby means <strong>of</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> the DOD Corporate HRSupport Plan, the provisioning <strong>of</strong> HR strategic inputs for theDOD Strategic Direction Process, continuous moni<strong>to</strong>ring <strong>of</strong>the implementation <strong>of</strong> the DOD HR Strategy, provision <strong>of</strong>advice on equal opportunity issues, moni<strong>to</strong>ring <strong>of</strong> the implementation<strong>of</strong> equity legislation and moni<strong>to</strong>ring the execution<strong>of</strong> HR Support Plans and budgets through the monthly HRPlanning Committee.During August 2010, the Division was convened and hostedthe annual DOD Gender Conference with the theme"Together Entrenching Constitutional Imperatives within theDOD". The primary purpose was <strong>to</strong> report on the progressmade in implementing the Gender Mainstreaming ActionPlan and also <strong>to</strong> reflect on the Research Findings on the status<strong>of</strong> women in the DOD, sixteen years in<strong>to</strong> Democracy.During the period under review, the revised Non-statu<strong>to</strong>ryForces (NSF) Pension Dispensation was approved byCabinet. This makes provision for 100% recognition <strong>of</strong> theservice period <strong>of</strong> former NSF members without a requirement<strong>to</strong> contribute 5%. This, revised dispensation, alsobrought about equity amongst members with more or lessthan 10 years' service <strong>to</strong> the extent that the 50% recognitionfor members with less than 10 years' service in the previousdispensation was cancelled. The Government EmployeesPension Fund (GEPF) rules for the revised dispensation wereapproved, paving the way for the implementation.The Division has had <strong>to</strong> embark on an additional project emanatingfrom a Government Instruction <strong>to</strong> implement PublicService Co-ordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC)Resolution 7 <strong>of</strong> 1998 and Resolution 12 <strong>of</strong> 2002 relating <strong>to</strong>pension restructuring. Command Body sanction has beengranted for the Division <strong>to</strong> continue with the implementation<strong>of</strong> these Resolutions within the DOD. Services and Divisionsprovided personnel <strong>to</strong> form part <strong>of</strong> a Task Team <strong>to</strong> serve andassist with the roll-out <strong>of</strong> the Pension Restructuring Project.Subsequently, the Task Team has held a number <strong>of</strong> meetings,primarily <strong>to</strong> discuss strategy, training venues, time framesand funding <strong>of</strong> the Project that will include countrywidetraining.The Interim <strong>Defence</strong> Force Service Commission (IDFSC)crafted a Programme <strong>of</strong> Action and embarked on the followingactivities during the reporting period:The process <strong>of</strong> advising the Minister on the organisationalstructure <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Force ServiceCommission and the Draft <strong>Defence</strong> Force ServiceRegulations.ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 33

However, the DOD continued <strong>to</strong> engage the militarytrade unions outside the MBC <strong>to</strong> discuss issues <strong>of</strong> mutualinterest.On 11 March 2011, the Registrar <strong>of</strong> Military Trade Unionsderegistered the South African Security Forces Union(SASFU) for non-compliance with Regulation 42 <strong>of</strong> theGeneral regulations for the SANDF and Reserve members.SASFU therefore has no collective bargaining and organizationalrights in the DOD.During the year under review, the Minister approved the recommendationfor the implementation <strong>of</strong> the re-ranking <strong>of</strong> formerNon-statu<strong>to</strong>ry Force members within the FinanceManagement Division. In terms <strong>of</strong> this recommendation, allmembers who were so disadvantaged will have their ranksrectified and be compensated accordingly.Owing <strong>to</strong> serious infrastructure shortcomings at the PersonnelServices School, accreditation as a training facility could notbe obtained as a result and the accredited curricula for thetraining <strong>of</strong> Human Resource Practitioners could not beimplemented. This situation is crippling the entire DOD interms <strong>of</strong> the training <strong>of</strong> Human Resource Practitioners.During the FY2010/11 an amount <strong>of</strong> R600 000 was allocated<strong>to</strong>wards the upgrading <strong>of</strong> the facilities and this project willbe carried <strong>to</strong> the next financial year.The Division continued <strong>to</strong> coordinate the management <strong>of</strong> HRrelated audit queries and with the establishment <strong>of</strong> a nodalpoint for communication with the Audi<strong>to</strong>r General (AG) onHR related matters, this has already resulted in fewer negativefindings.Despite relatively low staffing levels and financial constraints,the Division has continued <strong>to</strong> render the expectedoutput during the past financial year.

This allowed for the requiredflexibility <strong>to</strong> deal with a number <strong>of</strong> issues within a volatileand unpredictable environment.The SANDF established a situational awareness system thatincluded strategic early warning, regional military cooperation,the conducting <strong>of</strong> joint, interdepartmental and multinational(JIM) military exercises. It maintained the ability <strong>to</strong>react quickly <strong>to</strong> safety and security support requirementsfrom other government departments.On average a <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 2 238 1 members, including 148 Reservemembers, were successfully deployed for the FY2010/11 intwo peace support operations, namely Operation MISTRALin the Democratic Republic <strong>of</strong> Congo (DRC) and OperationCORDITE in the Sudan, as well as three general militaryassistance operations, namely Operation TEUTONIC in theDRC, Operation VIMBEZELA in the Central AfricanRepublic (CAR) and Operation COPPER. Operation COP-PER is a new operation whereby the RSA Government is renderingsupport <strong>to</strong> the Mozambique Government as requested,<strong>to</strong> curb piracy in the Mozambique Channel. Operation TEU-TONIC in the DRC was terminated at the end <strong>of</strong> Oc<strong>to</strong>ber2010 after all the objectives for the operation were achieved.The SANDF continuously provided support <strong>to</strong> governmentdepartments in pursuance <strong>of</strong> national security objectives andgovernment initiatives. In realising these, the SANDF providedsafety and security-related support <strong>to</strong> the South AfricanPolice Service (SAPS). During the 2010 FIFA World Cup(Operation KGWELE), the SANDF cooperated with theSAPS by deploying on average 4 573 members per dayensuring the maintenance <strong>of</strong> safety and security. Assistancewas also provided during the xenophobia incidents, publicservice strike, the opening <strong>of</strong> Parliament and the voter registrationfor local elections. The SANDF continued <strong>to</strong> partnerwith the SAPS by providing personnel, helicopters and fixedwing aircraft for Operation DUTY CALLS during the festiveseason for the combat <strong>of</strong> crime.In supporting the people <strong>of</strong> South Africa, the SANDF built aBailey bridge in April 2010 and a pedestrian suspensionbridge during September 2010 in the Umtata area in theEastern Cape. These bridges were built and donated by theSA Army Engineers <strong>to</strong> provide safe and easy access <strong>to</strong> thecommunities. The SANDF provided assistance with firefightingin the Western Cape, Northern Cape, Eastern Capeand Limpopo Provinces, search-and-rescue at sea and on landin the Eastern Cape, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal Provincesas well as support during the floods in the Northern Cape(Uping<strong>to</strong>n area).Subsequent <strong>to</strong> the cabinet decision that the SANDF shouldtakeover the responsibility for border safeguarding, theSANDF changed the limited concept <strong>of</strong> borderline control <strong>to</strong>that <strong>of</strong> border safeguarding. Operation CORONA has beendesigned <strong>to</strong> encompass the safeguarding <strong>of</strong> the land, air andmaritime borders simultaneously. The SANDF has beendeployed in Limpopo (Pontdrift and Musina), Mpumalanga(Macadamia) and Kwa-Zulu Natal (Ndumu) Provinces. Thedeployment <strong>of</strong> the SANDF for border safeguarding ensuredthat 20 613 illegal immigrants were apprehended, 263 criminalswere arrested, 21 s<strong>to</strong>len vehicles were recovered, 14weapons were recovered, 18 lives<strong>to</strong>ck were recovered andvarious narcotics were confiscated. The SANDF also providedcontrol <strong>of</strong> the maritime and airspace environment. Thissupport was provided by the SANDF through the collateralvalue <strong>of</strong> core conventional capabilities.The Joint Operations Division planned, co-ordinated anddirected seven JIM force preparation activities. Theseexclude the Special Forces exercises and the support <strong>to</strong> foreigndefence force exercises conducted in accordance withthe Joint Force Employment concept and existing bilateral/multilateral agreements.During the year under review, the Joint Operations Divisionutilised 922 Reserve members <strong>to</strong> alleviate staff shortages and1In the Minister's budget speech inputs, the figures for external deployments are 2 045 and they represent only deploymentsup until 01 March 2011.

The risk and impact <strong>of</strong> thisclaim will be that, if successful, there will be a gap on the borderthat could be exploited for the illegal crossing <strong>of</strong> peopleand merchandise, and as a consequence, undermine theSANDF deployments for border safeguarding.Strategic lift capability remains a challenge which negativelyimpacts deployments and sustainment <strong>of</strong> the SANDF externaloperations, as well as the deployment and sustainment <strong>of</strong>the SANDF reaction force. The chartering <strong>of</strong> aircraft andships is a short-term solution and comes at a high price.The <strong>to</strong>tal cost for the SANDF support <strong>to</strong> the preparation andhosting <strong>of</strong> the 2010 FIFA World Cup, (Operation KGWELE)was Rm276. The SANDF received an additional allocationfrom the National Treasury <strong>of</strong> Rm200 and the deficit <strong>of</strong>Rm76 was obtained by reprioritising the Joint OperationsDivision Budget.During the reporting period, the Division focused on ensuringthe safety and security <strong>of</strong> the RSA and its people by maintainingthe employment <strong>of</strong> military capabilities as directed by theauthorities.

Chapter 6D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C EP R O G R A M M E 3 :L a n d w a r d D e f e n c eO v e r v i e wIn the year under review, the South African Army (SAArmy)fulfilled all its internal and external commitments, notwithstandingthe fact that it is severely overstretched, especially inthe infantry, engineer and support capabilities.Approximately 85% <strong>of</strong> force levels required by C SANDFwere provided. Deviations were as a result <strong>of</strong> logistics andhuman resource challenges experienced, especially theunavailability and / or un-serviceability <strong>of</strong> prime missionequipment (PME) (A, B, C and D vehicle fleets), shortages <strong>of</strong>certain ammunition types, medical health status <strong>of</strong> personnel,shortage <strong>of</strong> personnel in specific musterings, ie technical andhospitality service personnel as well as suitable qualified andknowledgeable instruc<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> ensure quality training andskills transfer.The SA Army's commitments for the year under review,included inter alia, the provisioning <strong>of</strong> landward forces forPSO deployment in the Democratic Republic <strong>of</strong> the Congo(DRC) (Op MISTRAL) and Sudan (Op CORDITE); trainingmissions in the Central African Republic (CAR) (Op VIM-BEZELA) and the DRC (Mission THEBE); border safeguardingdeployments on the RSA/Zimbabwe, Mozambique/RSA and Swaziland/RSA borders; and internal deployment inco-operation with the South African Police Service (SAPS).In the DRC 109 SA Army members are on the verge <strong>of</strong> completingtraining <strong>of</strong> two rapid deployment battalions (FARDC42 & 43 Bns) consisting <strong>of</strong> six infantry companies trainedfrom lower / sub-unit level. In <strong>to</strong>tal 1 780 FARDC memberswere trained. In the DRC soldiers were handed over <strong>to</strong> theMinister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> <strong>of</strong> the DRC after completing a plannedcycle <strong>of</strong> training in Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2010.The SAArmy provided 8 923 members for deployment <strong>to</strong> theUnited Nations (UN) and African Union (AU) Missions inAfrica, border safeguarding and internal deployment.Learning opportunities were afforded <strong>to</strong> 93 members belonging<strong>to</strong> 11 foreign defence forces namely: Botswana,Zimbabwe, Namibia, Rwanda, South Korea, Nigeria,Republic <strong>of</strong> Congo, Pakistan, CAR, India and Tanzania at SAArmy Centres <strong>of</strong> Excellence.The support <strong>to</strong> the SAPS and the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Health by theSA Army forces provided during the national public servicestrike by government employees in August/September 2010was among the 'not initially planned for' miles<strong>to</strong>nes. In thisregard, 1 868 members were deployed. This was over andabove the forces provided for the successful hosting <strong>of</strong> 2010FIFA World Cup (Op KGWELE).The SAArmy demonstrated its collateral utility by contributing<strong>to</strong> the construction <strong>of</strong> a suspension bridge in conjunctionwith the National <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Works (NDPW).Limited construction work by SAArmy engineers is in stages<strong>of</strong> completion at a number <strong>of</strong> facilities. The Works Regimentrefurbished the hospice in the Lenz military base and theRegiment was transferred <strong>to</strong> Joint Logistics as an operationalcapability on 1 April 2011.The rejuvenation <strong>of</strong> the support musterings, particularly inthe Technical Service Corps (TSC), Ordinance Service Corps(OSC), Signals, Catering and Ammunition Corps environmentsremains a challenge as only a limited number <strong>of</strong>MSDS members could be accommodated due <strong>to</strong> financiallimitations. The retention <strong>of</strong> qualified members is not alwaysguaranteed and this negatively impacts on the sustainmentcapacity and the ability <strong>to</strong> support SA Army forces and unitsin their force employment and preparation roles.In the wake <strong>of</strong> the increased operational tempo in external,internal and border safeguarding deployments, the SA Armyutilized its Reserve component substantially <strong>to</strong> augmentshortages in its Regular component. Approximately 18 000call-ups were issued for a variety <strong>of</strong> duties including administrative,guards training and operations. Despite this, thedefined end state for the SA Army Reserves could not beachieved, due <strong>to</strong> the low rate <strong>of</strong> MSDS members entering theReserves and a lack <strong>of</strong> funding in general.All current SA Army projects are essentially partial acquisitionsand do not provide for the full capability requirementsin accordance with the <strong>Defence</strong> Review or the SA ArmyForce Design/Structure due <strong>to</strong> current funding shortfalls.Operational gaps due <strong>to</strong> shortages <strong>of</strong> PME are already evidentin certain capability areas due <strong>to</strong> end <strong>of</strong> life-cycle, obsolescence,under-funding and late delivery dates. Currentfunding levels will not be able <strong>to</strong> sustain the SAArmy's PMErequirement. An achievement however, in terms <strong>of</strong> the rejuvenation<strong>of</strong> PME, is the 35mm Mk V Gun system that hasbeen re-commissioned.ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 61


D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C EIn summary, the challenges faced by the SA Army remainedthe critical shortage and continued loss <strong>of</strong> scarce skills, theage and health status <strong>of</strong> the HR component and the unsatisfac<strong>to</strong>rystatus <strong>of</strong> the A, B and D vehicle fleets, PME, ammunitionand facilities, as well as the lack <strong>of</strong> critical structures <strong>to</strong>produce specific outputs in support <strong>of</strong> force preparation andoperations. These challenges are being addressed throughvarious initiatives, but owing <strong>to</strong> the cost and time, they willnot be fully mitigated in the near future. However, the implementation<strong>of</strong> a technical allowance in the SA Army and theSANDF at large will go a long way <strong>to</strong> alleviate continued loss<strong>of</strong> scarce skills in the technical service environment. Salaryincreases as instituted by the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> have alsoreduced the high outflow figures but have not s<strong>to</strong>pped them.Notwithstanding the complex challenges and limitedresources, the SA Army provided combat-ready forces andsupported landward operations as required.

This figure indicatesthat the Air Force Reserves contributed 8,4% <strong>of</strong> the AirForce's <strong>to</strong>tal flying hours and 17.5% <strong>of</strong> the force employmenthours. The successes <strong>of</strong> the Air Force can be attributed <strong>to</strong> thededication and commitment <strong>of</strong> the Air Force personnel whohad continually demonstrated dependable skill and loyaltyunder challenging circumstances. However, these achievementscame at a cost <strong>of</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> future assurance in terms <strong>of</strong> theAir Force's diverse capabilities' integrity and sustainability.There was a marked and visible increase in the Air Force'scontribution <strong>to</strong>wards <strong>Defence</strong> Diplomacy during the yearunder review. These include flying <strong>of</strong> VVIPs and VIPs duringthe reporting period. The support <strong>to</strong>wards <strong>Defence</strong>Diplomatic activities is regarded as an essential contribution<strong>to</strong>wards the country's first line <strong>of</strong> defence within the context <strong>of</strong>conflict prevention and peaceful resolution <strong>of</strong> conflicts. In thisregard the Air Force has managed <strong>to</strong> meet its mandatenotwithstanding challenging conditions. The considerablychanged scope and frequency <strong>of</strong> activities <strong>of</strong> the RSA government'sinvolvement in regional and international affairs from1994 <strong>to</strong> date has a direct impact on the current SAAF availableresources. During the Africa Aerospace and <strong>Defence</strong>Exhibition (AAD) held in September 2010, 28 Air ForceChiefs or representatives were hosted with the aim <strong>to</strong> strengthenmilitary relations with these countries and <strong>to</strong> discuss possibleareas <strong>of</strong> future cooperation.The SAAF has supported different Joint OperationsRequirements for external operations and internal exercises.Within the external operations domain the Air Force providedsustainment flights <strong>to</strong> the external SANDF operations.Successful exercises with foreign countries included participationin the naval exercise held on the East Coast <strong>of</strong> SouthAfrica with Brazil, India and the South African Navy. Thesecombined efforts have contributed in enhancing the AirForce's expertise in combined maritime operations.In keeping with the mandate <strong>of</strong> providing support <strong>to</strong> the peoplethe Air Force provided support <strong>to</strong> the people by executing15 flights in fire-fighting operations, 34 flights during medicaland casualty evacuationsa and 9 flights searching for persons.The 2010 FIFA World Cup was the RSA's highlight event thatrequired high level <strong>of</strong> expertise in airspace security and continuoussurveillance and moni<strong>to</strong>ring. During this event theNational Airspace Security was delegated <strong>to</strong> the SAAF viathe National Joint Operations Centre. Over this period, theSAAF committed diverse assets and resources such as controlsec<strong>to</strong>rs, different tactical mobile radar systems, Hawk andGripen supersonic fighters, helicopters, Electronic Warfare(EW) capabilities and Intelligence SurveillanceReconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.Utilizing these diverse capabilities, the SAAF managed <strong>to</strong>screen 12 921 aircrew <strong>of</strong> which 6 were rejected as undesirable,conducted 64 739 flight authorisations, 347 combat airpatrols, <strong>to</strong>ok appropriate action against 65 non-compliant aircrafts,carried out 51 interceptions and diverted 9 aircraftaway from the prohibited flying zones. The technologicaledge <strong>of</strong> the Gripen's data link, advanced airborne radar andIIR pod proved <strong>to</strong> be a valuable investment as it provided realtime information simultaneously <strong>to</strong> diverse users during theair defence operations. Opportunities <strong>to</strong> use Air Power <strong>to</strong> supportGovernment security and anti-crime initiatives with newtechnology were fully exploited.The Hawk lead in fighter trainers were delivered and handedover <strong>to</strong> the Air Force. Integration and phasing in <strong>of</strong> the systemin<strong>to</strong> the SAAF is essentially completed but diverse challengescontinue <strong>to</strong> prevail due <strong>to</strong> insufficient operational funding.During the year under review, 9 crew members were quali-ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 67


D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C Efied. The lack <strong>of</strong> steady state contract for the Hawk capabilitywill continue <strong>to</strong> negatively impact on the sustained longterm combat and mission readiness <strong>of</strong> this capability.The Helicopter Capability has served as a paramount asset <strong>to</strong>both internal and external operations. Long lead times oncomponents required by the Lynx and late approval <strong>of</strong> aninterim support contract for the Rooivalk system had a directimpact on the cash flow <strong>of</strong> the capability area. The orderedcommitments, humanitarian support and search and rescueoperations were honoured.The Side-by-Side pupil pilot training by Babcock FlyingAcademy at Air Force Base Swartkop was conducted and dueobservations were made regarding its overall impact on theSAAF pupil pilot training efforts.The Avionic retr<strong>of</strong>it <strong>of</strong> the PC7 MKII aircraft progressed asplanned. Funds were made available <strong>to</strong> repair three enginesand overhaul six engines in order <strong>to</strong> increase aircraft availabilityand mission readiness.The Air Force unfortunately suffered two major accidentswith the Agusta A109 helicopter crashes in November 2010at Potchefstroom and in December 2010 at Bali<strong>to</strong>. RelevantBoards <strong>of</strong> Inquiry have been convened and are in progress.There is another investigation being conducted following theincident at AFB Makhado where a pilot lost his life during hisfirst solo flight on a HAWK aircraft. Aviation safety training,however, continued <strong>to</strong> be provided, with 306 Air Force membersqualifying in aviation safety. Safety, Health,Environment, Risk and Quality (SHERQ) training courseswere presented with a <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 266 SAAF members beingdeclared competent during the financial year.Within the SAAF strategic focus, the critical challenges in theshort and medium term remains in the domain <strong>of</strong> four areas,Human Resource development and utilization, affordability,operational readiness and support optimisation. Actions wereinitiated <strong>to</strong> retain skilled personnel and <strong>to</strong> improve representivity.Although recruitment by aviation industries hasreduced, skilled Air Force personnel will be in demand oncethe effect <strong>of</strong> the global economic downturn improves.Cutting through every sphere <strong>of</strong> these strategic issues is achallenge <strong>of</strong> underfunding. The Air Force's diverse interventionsefforts <strong>to</strong>wards infrastructure maintenance, developmentand retention <strong>of</strong> specialist skills, enhancing operationalsupport, do not have a long term and lasting impact. Theyprovide an important emergency relief <strong>of</strong> a temporal nature.The impact <strong>of</strong> underfunding further exacerbates the obsolescenceproblems especially on the older generation aircraftsystems that are more than 40 years old.A strategic guideline decision <strong>to</strong> relocate the Air Force BaseDurban <strong>to</strong> King Shaka during the year under review could notbe implemented due <strong>to</strong> the financial implication. The <strong>to</strong>talcosts for the relocation is estimated at Rm 800.Given the account <strong>of</strong> the SAAF on the expected output for theyear under review, the Air Force has managed <strong>to</strong> deliver on68the planned output albeit at a cost. There is clear evidence, aselaborated in this report, that the previous cuts and underfunding in the SAAF operating budget has reached culminationpoint in terms <strong>of</strong> adverse effects on SAAF capabilities.A risk exists that not all the required system tests can beeffectively done due <strong>to</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> adequate flying hours. Thesystem operational hand-over timeline <strong>to</strong> the SAAF isplanned for March 2012.There is no doubt that the SAAF diverse air capabilities,given the adequate support in terms <strong>of</strong> resources, can deliveron the required output beyond expectations as was demonstratedduring the 2010 FIFA World Cup.P u r p o s e o f t h e P r o g r a m m eThe Air <strong>Defence</strong> Programme provides prepared and supportedair defence capabilities for the defence and protection <strong>of</strong>South Africa.S u b p r o g r a m m e sStrategic Direction provides strategic direction <strong>to</strong> theAir <strong>Defence</strong> programme by formulating and controllingstrategies, policies and plans via the Air Force Office <strong>to</strong>prepare and provide the capabilities required by Chief <strong>of</strong>the SANDF.

D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C EChapter 8P R O G R A M M E 5 :M a r i t i m e D e f e n c eO v e r v i e wThe FY2010/11 was extremely demanding for the SA Navydue <strong>to</strong> an increased operational tempo.At the multi-national level, the SA Navy successfully participatedin Exercise ATLASUR - a biennual, joint and combinedmaritime exercise between the Navies <strong>of</strong> Argentina,Brazil, South Africa and Uruguay. The aim <strong>of</strong> the exercisewas <strong>to</strong> provide collective training, improve interoperabilityand enhance mutual understanding on maritime matters forthe participating nations. This exercise was held in Argentina,South America and all the objectives were achieved. The SANavy also participated successfully in Exercise IBSAMAR II- a multi-national exercise involving the navies <strong>of</strong> Brazil,India and South Africa. The objective <strong>of</strong> the exercise was <strong>to</strong>improve interoperability and this was deemed <strong>to</strong> have beenan overwhelming success by the participating nations. Theskills and experience acquired during Exercise IBSAMAR IIwill contribute <strong>to</strong> the SA Navy's ability <strong>to</strong> deal with issuessuch as conducting humanitarian aid operations and the combating<strong>of</strong> threats like terrorism and piracy in the future. TheIndian Commander <strong>of</strong> the IBSAMAR II Task Force commentedon the exercise as follows: "The meticulous planning,efficient co-ordination and flawless execution <strong>of</strong> theexercises reflect dynamic leadership, high levels <strong>of</strong> motivation,well-trained crews, efficient ship management andmaterial preparedness <strong>of</strong> the three Navies."The SA Navy's international diplomacy program with itsstrong regional focus continued <strong>to</strong> yield good results. At thestrategic level <strong>of</strong> international cooperation, the Chief <strong>of</strong> theNavy or his delegated representative visited the followingcountries: Argentina, China, France, India, Italy, Sri Lanka,UK, Vietnam and USA with reciprocal visits being paid byIndia, Vietnam, UK and USA. Elements <strong>of</strong> the MaritimeReaction Squadron and support personnel were deployed invarious peacekeeping missions thereby contributing <strong>to</strong> theRSA's diplomatic initiatives in Africa. The deployment <strong>of</strong>the frigate SAS MENDI on Operation COPPER, an anti-piracypatrol in the Mozambique Channel, further enhanced theRSA's contribution <strong>to</strong> safety and security in the region. Thecombat support vessel, SAS DRAKENSBERG conductedOperation IKHALA, an emergency evacuation contingencyoperation <strong>of</strong>f the West Coast <strong>of</strong> Africa.The SA Navy successfully prepared and deployed the SASDRAKENSBERG, the frigate SAS AMATOLA, the hydrographicsurvey vessel SAS PROTEA and the mine countermeasures vessels SAS UMZIMKULU and SAS UMKO-MAAS at the required levels <strong>of</strong> readiness during the 2010FIFA World Cup (Operation KGWELE). Also deployedwere the submarines SAS CHARLOTTE MAXEKE andSAS QUEEN MODJADJI I, as part <strong>of</strong> force preparation <strong>to</strong>ensure maximum maritime security during this period. Whatis significant about Operation KGWELE is that the SA Navywas at its highest level <strong>of</strong> operational readiness, since theacquisition <strong>of</strong> the Strategic <strong>Defence</strong> Packages. In <strong>to</strong>tal 16 897sea hours were achieved during force preparation andemployment, <strong>of</strong> which 3 033 were during the unforeseenoperations <strong>of</strong>f the West coast and in the MozambiqueChannel.The SA Navy acquired the Shallow Water Route SurveySystem and the system proved most effective in mine detectionoperations conducted during Operation KGWELE. Thesystem has proved <strong>to</strong> be an excellent asset in ensuring thecontinued safety and security <strong>of</strong> the RSA ports. What isequally significant is that policy option funding obtained wasdirected at providing a core maritime defence capability. Thisis a niche capability that no other state maritime agency couldprovide and also proved <strong>to</strong> be invaluable during recoveryoperations when it was used <strong>to</strong> assist the South African CivilAviation Authority <strong>to</strong> locate and recover the wreckage <strong>of</strong> thelight aircraft that crashed <strong>of</strong>f Plettenberg Bay.Internally, the SA Navy achieved a payment figure <strong>of</strong> 99.2%for FY2010/11. The SA Navy also participated actively in thetask team that prepared a report on achieving better efficiencieswith the DOD's budget.An integral part <strong>of</strong> the SA Navy's planning and strategicdirection process is the SA Navy's social responsibility programme.Several disadvantaged communities have beenassisted and continue <strong>to</strong> be assisted through these programmes.The ISIVUNGUVUNGU sailing team continued<strong>to</strong> attain excellent results in international competitions wheretwo sailors attained ninth position at the Volvo Youth SailingISAF World Championships held in Turkey and fifth positionin the Open 420 World Championships in Haifa, Israel. Atnational level one sailor, Asenathi Jim, was twice nominatedas SA Sailor <strong>of</strong> the month and eventually became the SASailor <strong>of</strong> the year for 2010. This great achievement resultedin him being introduced <strong>to</strong> the Olympic Class 470. He willANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 73

Although thereare sufficient newly recruited candidates in these domainsthat are under training, it will take time before these candidatesacquire the requisite skills, knowledge and experience<strong>to</strong> counter the loss <strong>of</strong> experienced personnel.The general status <strong>of</strong> buildings in the Simon’s Town areacontinued <strong>to</strong> be a cause for concern. Day <strong>to</strong> day maintenanceis being carried out, but due <strong>to</strong> the age <strong>of</strong> the buildings theircondition continues <strong>to</strong> deteriorate.Although the Directed Levels <strong>of</strong> Capability as stipulated interms <strong>of</strong> the force employment requirements for the respectivecapabilities were achieved, the SA Navy will not be able<strong>to</strong> sustain these levels <strong>of</strong> capability in<strong>to</strong> the future, due <strong>to</strong> thecontinued underfunding. The SA Navy performed in accordancewith its plan and exceeded expectations in certaininstances i.e. in its force preparation and force employmentcommitments. It remains committed <strong>to</strong> pursuing its primaryobjective <strong>of</strong> providing a credible maritime defence <strong>to</strong> thepeople <strong>of</strong> South Africa.P u r p o s e o f t h e P r o g r a m m eThe Maritime <strong>Defence</strong> Programme provides prepared andsupported maritime defence capabilities for the defence andprotection <strong>of</strong> South Africa.O b j e c t i v e s a n d M e a s u r e sDefend and protect South Africa and its maritime zones byprovidingA surface combat capability <strong>of</strong> four frigates, one combatsupport vessel, three <strong>of</strong>fshore patrol vessels, threeinshore patrol vessels and a maritime reaction squadronin each annual operational cycle;A sub-surface combat capability <strong>of</strong> three submarines ineach annual operational cycle;Two mine countermeasures systems in each annualoperational cycle <strong>to</strong> ensure safe access <strong>to</strong> South Africanharbours, and where mine clearance may be required;andAn ongoing hydrographic survey capability <strong>to</strong> ensuresafe navigation in charting areas and <strong>to</strong> meet internationalobligations.S u b p r o g r a m m e sMaritime Direction provides strategic direction withinthe Maritime <strong>Defence</strong> programme by formulating andcontrolling strategies, policies, plans and advice in order<strong>to</strong> prepare and provide the maritime capabilitiesrequired for the defence and protection <strong>of</strong> South Africa.Funding is distributed based on the cost <strong>of</strong> operating theNaval Headquarters.Maritime Combat Capability provides mission readyand supported maritime combat capabilities in accordancewith the approved force design <strong>of</strong> the DOD.Funding is distributed according <strong>to</strong> the number and size<strong>of</strong> units, systems and equipment operating and maintenancerequirements and the number <strong>of</strong> force employmen<strong>to</strong>perations.Maritime Logistic Support Capability sustains theavailability <strong>of</strong> the force structure elements in the navalforce design <strong>to</strong> ensure compliance with ordered operationalcommitments.

The fac<strong>to</strong>rs impactingon the service delivery objectives are the loss <strong>of</strong> scarceskills, an insufficient budget <strong>to</strong> fulfil ordered commitmentsand <strong>to</strong> renew the SA Military Health Service (SAMHS) obsoleteequipment and capabilities.The SAMHS contributed <strong>to</strong> the broader State service deliveryobjectives through its partnership and support <strong>to</strong> the<strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Health in providing health support <strong>to</strong> the 2010FIFA World Cup during Operation KGWELE. A <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 902SAMHS members were deployed at National HealthOperation Centres, stadiums and fan parks. SAMHS memberswere also deployed with the SA Army during OperationKGWELE and health elements also rendered health support<strong>to</strong> maritime operations during Operation KGWELE. Supportwas also provided <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Health during thenational strike <strong>of</strong> nursing personnel in provincial hospitals.During Operation PROSPER, the SAMHS supported 74 hospitalsin the nine provinces with a <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 2 822 membersconsisting <strong>of</strong> 1 266 health care practitioners.The health care <strong>to</strong> designated military veterans was operationalizedafter the approval <strong>of</strong> the Minister in December2010.The SAMHS contributed immensely <strong>to</strong> the strengthening <strong>of</strong>foreign relations. Medical equipment and general <strong>of</strong>ficeequipment was donated <strong>to</strong> the Uganda People’s <strong>Defence</strong>Force. The 6 th Annual Protection Course for African Statesparty <strong>to</strong> the Chemical Weapons Convention on behalf <strong>of</strong> theSA Council for Non-Proliferation <strong>of</strong> Weapons <strong>of</strong> Mass Destructionand the Organisation for the Prohibition <strong>of</strong> ChemicalWeapons was presented by the SAMHS in September2010. The course was attended by representatives fromAlgeria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cote D'Ivoire, Kenya,Malawi, Morocco, Nigeria, Tanzania, Tunisia, Zambia, Zimbabweand Uganda. The Chemical and Biological <strong>Defence</strong>Advisor attended an international workshop on StrengtheningInternational Efforts <strong>to</strong> Prevent the Proliferation <strong>of</strong> BiologicalWeapons in November 2010 and made a presentation on theIntercessional Process in preparation <strong>of</strong> the 7 th ReviewConference that will be held in 2011. The Surgeons Generalhad bilateral meetings with the Surgeons General <strong>of</strong> theNetherlands and Zambia during the attendance <strong>of</strong> the AfricanAerospace <strong>Defence</strong> and a working visit <strong>to</strong> France. The aimwas <strong>to</strong> strengthen military health relations with these countriesand <strong>to</strong> discuss possible areas <strong>of</strong> future co-operation.The SAMHS Facility Master Plan continued <strong>to</strong> guide therepair and upgrading <strong>of</strong> infrastructure through a phasedapproach. The day-<strong>to</strong>-day maintenance <strong>of</strong> facilities is hampereddue <strong>to</strong> the insufficient budget allocation. Donor fundingdirected <strong>to</strong> antiretroviral treatment has been utilised <strong>to</strong>upgrade and renovate health facilities such as the Sickbay atLangebaanweg and the pharmacy at the Military MedicalClinic Waterklo<strong>of</strong>. The upgrade <strong>of</strong> the Military HealthTraining facility at Lephalale was completed for the training<strong>of</strong> members <strong>of</strong> the military skills development system.Progress continued <strong>to</strong> be made with the repair and maintenanceprogramme at the three military hospitals.

D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C ERepositioning Programme (LIRP) started <strong>to</strong> finalise thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> a new logistic process framework. This is asingle logistic process based on supply chain and life cyclemanagement, and a draft macro-structure for the futureSANDF logistics organisation.The DOD under the auspice <strong>of</strong> the Operation Clean Audit(OCA) teamed up with SITA, embarked on alleviating currentand possible future audit qualifications by a concertedeffort in developing appropriate draft policy in respect <strong>of</strong>assets, leases, <strong>of</strong>ficial gifts, donations, sponsorships and disposalsin compliance with the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong>'s instructionfor a zero qualification audit cycle for a FY2010/11.In order <strong>to</strong> address the audit qualifications, the LogisticsDivision has developed a short and long-term plan. The shortterm plan focuses on the utilisation <strong>of</strong> the existing systems(OSIS and CALMIS) <strong>to</strong> establish an asset register, while thelong term plan focuses on the implementation <strong>of</strong> a single integrateddefence logistics information management system,including a codification and cataloguing system that willenhance s<strong>to</strong>ck/inven<strong>to</strong>ry rationalisation within the DOD.During the reporting period, a supply chain management andprocurement implementation charter between NationalTreasury (IFMS) and the DOD was finalised. Eleven unitshave been identified as lead sites and the implementation <strong>of</strong>the asset register and procurement will commence in the nextfinancial year.In order <strong>to</strong> improve the serviceability <strong>of</strong> equipment, contractsfor the maintenance and repair <strong>of</strong> materiel handling equipmentfor internal and external operations were concluded forthe next two years. The approval <strong>of</strong> the technical allowanceshas made a significant contribution <strong>to</strong>wards the attraction andretention <strong>of</strong> suitably qualified technical members within theDOD.A tender for bar coding <strong>of</strong> all equipment in the DOD, withspecial attention <strong>to</strong> firearm and vehicle control was publishedwith implementation during the next financial year, whichwill greatly enhance the DOD's ability <strong>to</strong> accurately manageits assets.New legislation concerning the management <strong>of</strong> fuel installationsrequired the DOD <strong>to</strong> assess all its installations throughoutSouth Africa <strong>to</strong> ensure compliance with municipal bylawsand other legislation <strong>to</strong> bring about continued safe operations.The DOD produced a user assets management plan (UAMP)that will address the rapid and escalating deterioration <strong>of</strong> thedefence immovable assets. From the UAMP, the DOD willbe able <strong>to</strong> develop accurate and functional accommodationand maintenance plans that are consistent with DOD strategicand operational requirements.Progress was also made with the capturing and verification <strong>of</strong>the <strong>Defence</strong> Endowment Property (DEP). A DEP register isin place with associated market values. This register willassist in the assessment <strong>of</strong> options available <strong>to</strong> maximise utilisation<strong>of</strong> endowment properties <strong>to</strong> address DOD facilityrequirements.Facilities management plays a vital role within the DOD inensuring that property, buildings and real estate are in suppor<strong>to</strong>f DOD objectives. Due <strong>to</strong> the lack <strong>of</strong> capacity in the NDPW,DOD facilities and infrastructure are in disrepair and furtherdeterioration will tarnish not only the image <strong>of</strong> the DOD, butalso constrain force preparation and employment and impac<strong>to</strong>n the execution <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> mandate.The DOD Works Capability (Project LEBAKA) was transferredfrom the SA Army <strong>to</strong> the Logistics Division, and itsstructure under command and control <strong>of</strong> Chief <strong>of</strong> Logisticswas approved by the Minister. This capability places theDOD in a better position <strong>to</strong> assume the execution <strong>of</strong> the cus<strong>to</strong>dianfunctions as presently performed by NDPW.The DOD funded 28 capital works building projects duringthe reporting period. The bulk <strong>of</strong> the capital works fundswere spent on the upgrading <strong>of</strong> military health facilities,installing fire detection and protection systems, makingchanges <strong>to</strong> buildings <strong>to</strong> accommodate disabled members,upgrading kitchens, buildings and improving security atbuildings.Range clearance operations on the former Hell's Gate trainingarea (Project UMTHOMBO) were concluded. The Madimbotraining area has been marked and prepared for clearance. Anenvironmental awareness programme is underway within theDOD that will ensure sustainability <strong>of</strong> the current initiatives<strong>to</strong> enhance environmental management within the department.Operation VUSELELA projects which is the removal <strong>of</strong> allalien trees and plants, was optimized in the Free Stateprovince for increased mutual benefit <strong>to</strong> both the environmentand beneficiaries; ie military veterans.

This was achieved despite funding, infrastructureand personnel deficiencies.The CMIS Division provided support <strong>to</strong> the 2010 FIFAWorld Cup by rendering a Very Small Aperture Terminal(VSAT) (Two Way Satellite Ground Station) capability fornational Video Conferencing.The Free Open Source S<strong>of</strong>tware (FOSS) Desk<strong>to</strong>p and Server(Office Application) recommendation, that forms part <strong>of</strong> theFOSS feasibility within the DOD, has been completed andapproved. The DOD is now in a better position <strong>to</strong> make decisionson further platforms for the future. The preliminarydesign <strong>of</strong> the Electronic Content Management System(ECMS) for <strong>Defence</strong> Intelligence has been completed and isready for implementation during the next financial year.The CMIS Division managed <strong>to</strong> rollout the IntegratedCommunication Experimental Network (ICENET) in theDOD during the financial year. A <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 338 DOD membersare now connected both internally and externally <strong>to</strong> the DOD.To protect the DOD systems and users, a Protection AgainstMalicious Code (PAMC) evaluation has been concluded withresults documented in a System Prospectus.The funding for the essential upgrade <strong>of</strong> the DOD CentralServer has been activated through a re-allocation <strong>of</strong> fundsfrom projects that have a lesser priority on the <strong>Defence</strong>Enterprise Information System Master Plan (DEIS MP). Theprocess for the purchase <strong>of</strong> a new central server has been initiatedand the delivery is expected in the next financial year.As reported previously, the lack <strong>of</strong> adequate s<strong>to</strong>rage space forthe DOD Archives, combined with the mora<strong>to</strong>rium placed on90the destruction <strong>of</strong> records, is still an obstacle as far as achievementsafekeeping <strong>of</strong> DOD records in the DOD Archives isconcerned. The CMIS Division is in consultation with theLogistics Division and National <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Works(NDPW) for additional archive s<strong>to</strong>rage space.The problem with regard <strong>to</strong> the poor infrastructure at thefacility where the DOD's mainframe is located was alsoaddressed in the previous report and remains a concern. If theinfrastructure is not upgraded or adequately repaired, the serviceabilityand availability <strong>of</strong> the DOD's mainframe withinthis complex may be questionable.The new CMIS Division force design and structure that wassubmitted <strong>to</strong> the Minister for approval was referred back <strong>to</strong>the CMIS Division for clarification and amendments duringthe year. The updated proposal was resubmitted andapproved by the acting C SANDF in January 2011 and later,was submitted <strong>to</strong> the Secretary for <strong>Defence</strong> for further action.The continued shortage <strong>of</strong> personnel in most sections <strong>of</strong> theCMIS Division will only be addreassed after the finalapproval <strong>of</strong> the structure.The continued shortfall in funding <strong>of</strong> the DEIS Master Planresulted in the extension <strong>of</strong> the realisation <strong>of</strong> the Master Plan.This may result in some technologies being "obsolete" beforebeing implemented. The value that the DOD ultimatelyrealises from these projects may therefore not be in accordancewith expectations.Difficulties were also experienced during the last quarter <strong>of</strong>the year with the obsolete telecommunication equipment,local area network data, voice cable infrastructure and poweroutages. New equipment needs <strong>to</strong> be purchased, <strong>to</strong> avoid possiblepoor service delivery from the CMIS Division that mayhave a negative impact on the DOD. An increase in the baselineallocation <strong>of</strong> the Division will, however, be required <strong>to</strong>adequately address this requirement in the next financial year.Despite the challenges experienced, the CMIS Division managed<strong>to</strong> successfully execute its objectives. The challengesand risks have been managed <strong>to</strong> ensure that all planned outputswere achieved. The Division will endeavor <strong>to</strong> continue<strong>to</strong> provide viable ICT Services and a Joint InformationANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011

In striving <strong>to</strong>wards a crime-free militaryenvironment, the MP Division involved Services andDivisions in crime-combating exercises and established ananti-criminality capability <strong>to</strong> orchestrate the management <strong>of</strong>crime in the DOD. Although service delivery <strong>to</strong> DOD clientsremained a priority, MP members were also involved inexternal and internal deployments.In the reporting year, a <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 260 members was providedfor deployment in operations. In the DRC 134 memberswere deployed as part <strong>of</strong> Operation MISTRAL, 10 as part <strong>of</strong>Operation THEBE, and two as part <strong>of</strong> an advisory team. Afurther 10 members were deployed in Sudan, while 104 weredeployed internally during operations and exercises. Of the<strong>to</strong>tal number, 26 were female <strong>of</strong> which seven were deployedin command positions.In April 2010, the Provost Marshal General led a delegation<strong>to</strong> visit the USA <strong>to</strong> engage with the USA military police inorder <strong>to</strong> discuss the exchange <strong>of</strong> training opportunitiesbetween the two countries. Training slots on their criminalinvestigation training programme and basic special investiga<strong>to</strong>rcourse during FY2011/12 were secured.During the opening <strong>of</strong> Parliament and the 2010 FIFA WorldCup, the MP Division assisted by rendering security supportduring and provided escort services <strong>to</strong> the DOD as required.A <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 654 deliberate crime prevention operations wereconducted jointly with the SAPS and traffic departmentsthroughout the country, ranging from roadblocks and checkpoints<strong>to</strong> searches and targeting <strong>of</strong> identified hot spots.A <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 5 056 criminal and disciplinary cases was carriedover from FY2009/10 and 2 166 new cases were reported. Ofthe reported cases 2 339 were finalized, however, 4 883 docketswill be carried over <strong>to</strong> FY2011/12. Liaison forums wereestablished between the MP Division and the Legal ServicesDivision <strong>to</strong> ensure contribution <strong>to</strong> watertight cases resultingin the speeding up and successful finalisation <strong>of</strong> cases by bothmilitary and civilian courts.The monetary value <strong>of</strong> assets that were reported s<strong>to</strong>len or lostduring FY2010/11 was Rm1.4 and assets <strong>to</strong> the value <strong>of</strong> R349798 were recovered. A <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 261 DOD members werearrested, about 200 are uniform and 61 civilian members.Most <strong>of</strong> them were detained at SAPS facilities because <strong>of</strong> alack <strong>of</strong> holding cell capacity at a number <strong>of</strong> MP structures.The MP Division continued <strong>to</strong> play a critical role in theFinance Management Division's upgrading <strong>of</strong> security measuresat cash <strong>of</strong>fices nationwide and in evaluating securitymeasures <strong>of</strong> cash <strong>of</strong>fices in the deployment areas outside theRSA; ie DRC, CAR and Sudan. 31 crime prevention forumswere held with military communities in different areas <strong>of</strong>responsibility <strong>to</strong> encourage the understanding <strong>of</strong> the crimepicture and <strong>to</strong> address the levels <strong>of</strong> crime.The Division participated in the Africa Aerospace and<strong>Defence</strong> Exhibition 2010 held at AFB Ysterplaat inSeptember 2010, with the slogan 'mobilise the youth <strong>to</strong>day <strong>to</strong>sustain the aerospace and defence capability <strong>of</strong> <strong>to</strong>morrow',which was also aimed at creating MP awareness and targetingthe MSDS interest.

The strategy aims <strong>to</strong> ensure anappropriately composed, empowered and managed defencehuman resource complement <strong>to</strong> execute the DOD's mandateand mission. The emphasis <strong>of</strong> implementation remained theongoing rejuvenation <strong>of</strong> the South African National <strong>Defence</strong>Force's (SANDF) human resources, the ongoing configuration<strong>of</strong> the DOD's human resource composition <strong>to</strong> meet operationalrequirements and the development <strong>of</strong> the DOD'shuman capital, including youth development initiativesembedded in the Military Skills Development System(MSDS) and National Youth Service (NYS).A <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> 4 296 young members were appointed in theMSDS. The sustained implementation <strong>of</strong> the MSDS has led<strong>to</strong> 57% <strong>of</strong> Privates and equivalent ranks in the Regulars havingcomplied with the ideal rank-age norm <strong>of</strong> between 18 and24 years, at the end <strong>of</strong> FY2010/11.As part <strong>of</strong> the DOD's continued efforts <strong>to</strong> rejuvenate, 145Uniformed Personnel and 43 Public Service Act Personnelexited voluntarily by means <strong>of</strong> the Mobility Exit Mechanismand Employee-Initiated Severance Package, respectively.Besides facilitating the DOD's rejuvenation efforts, these voluntaryexits also gave further impetus <strong>to</strong> improve the demographicrepresentation within the DOD. At the end <strong>of</strong>FY2010/11, the full-time human resource composition <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Department</strong> comprised 71% Africans, 13% Coloureds, 1%Indians and 15% Whites. The <strong>to</strong>tal gender composition was27% women and 73% men.During FY2010/11, the acquisition and retention <strong>of</strong> scarcecombat, technical and pr<strong>of</strong>essional skills and experience continued<strong>to</strong> be a challenge. The DOD continued, however, <strong>to</strong>pursue new retention incentives for the above scarce skillscategories, including the implementation <strong>of</strong> a new TechnicalAllowance.Besides the intakes for the MSDS, the DOD executed the firstintake for the new NYS. The seven week foundation phasepilot project provided for 500 young people who receivedtraining in amongst others, personal discipline, civic education,patriotism and voluntarism. Together with the MSDS,the NYS remained core <strong>Department</strong>al initiatives <strong>to</strong> preparethe youth for careers either within or outside the DOD.In order <strong>to</strong> give further impetus <strong>to</strong> human capital development,the DOD's Human Resource Development Strategywas finalized and is in the final stages <strong>of</strong> approval.Concomitant with the development <strong>of</strong> the DOD's WorksCapability <strong>to</strong> maintain its own facilities, a reskilling programmehas also been embarked on <strong>to</strong> build capacity withinthe SANDF for the development <strong>of</strong> qualified pr<strong>of</strong>essionalsand artisans who will form the core <strong>of</strong> the future <strong>Defence</strong>Works Capability. At the end <strong>of</strong> FY2010/11, there were 673members under training with subsequent intakes having beenplanned for the coming financial years.In summary, during FY2010/11 the DOD continued <strong>to</strong> pursuea human resource composition <strong>of</strong> appropriate quality, quantity,composition and cost, accountable human resource administrationand meeting its commitments in pursuance <strong>of</strong>Government's human resource policy and strategy.Note: In cases where the added <strong>to</strong>tal differs from theindicated <strong>to</strong>tal in the table, it will be due <strong>to</strong> the rounding<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> figures.The current DOD Organisational Design is presented inFigure 4.1 below.ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 95

The AnnualDOD Anti-Criminality Conference held on 8 Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2010was aimed at providing orientation-training <strong>to</strong> representatives<strong>of</strong> Services and Divisions in support <strong>of</strong> the Nodal Point onAnti-Criminality. Members were trained <strong>to</strong> conduct crimerisk surveys in order <strong>to</strong> determine the extent <strong>to</strong> which physicalsecurity measures were lacking and/or adequate at units inthe DOD.In order <strong>to</strong> strengthen the management <strong>of</strong> Anti-Criminality,policies will have <strong>to</strong> be aligned with the Strategy on Anti-Criminality and DOD members will have <strong>to</strong> undergo formaltraining on managing crime. To this end, the ProvostMarshall General has been tasked <strong>to</strong> formalize the DODAnti-Criminality Policy by no later than the end <strong>of</strong> June2012. The DOD Nodal Point on Anti-Criminality hasengaged <strong>Defence</strong> Intelligence on the design <strong>of</strong> a training programwhich will be specifically aimed at managing crime inthe DOD.The DOD Nodal Point on Anti-Criminality also activelyinteracted with SITA for the design <strong>of</strong> an overarching CrimeInformation System that integrates all the existing fragmentedinformation data already available in other DOD systems.The aim <strong>of</strong> this system is <strong>to</strong> verify the integrity <strong>of</strong> informationfrom the existing systems and <strong>to</strong> make business intelligenceavailable <strong>to</strong> commanders and managers at all levels.This overarching integrated data system is in an advancedstage <strong>of</strong> development.The management <strong>of</strong> crime requirement has been included inthe performance agreements and management directives <strong>of</strong>all commanders and managers. In addition, Anti-Criminalityhas been incorporated as a standing agenda point in the commandand management forums <strong>of</strong> the DOD. This serves as aconstant reminder and raises awareness <strong>of</strong> crime in the drive<strong>to</strong> implement the Anti-Criminality Strategy. The DODSafeguarding Board meets monthly and is attended by theServices and Divisions. The commitment <strong>of</strong> commandersand managers <strong>to</strong> the management <strong>of</strong> crime was demonstratedby their personal signature on all safeguarding or anti-criminalityreports and compliance plans.The DOD vehicle fleet is safeguarded through the use <strong>of</strong> nonremovablestickers on D-vehicles in order <strong>to</strong> make them easilyidentifiable. Some vehicles have also been fitted withsatellite tracking systems, which are moni<strong>to</strong>red by <strong>Defence</strong>Intelligence or the respective Service/Division.Anti-Criminality in the DOD is well on its way <strong>to</strong> achievingthe goals <strong>of</strong> the Strategy on Anti-Criminality. All members<strong>of</strong> the DOD will be part <strong>of</strong> the fight against crime.136ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011

During the period under review the following progresswas made on previously identified strategic issues and policy decisions.1.1.1 Strategic issues1.1.1.1 White Paper on <strong>Defence</strong> and <strong>Defence</strong> Review. During September 2010, a work team finalised the development <strong>of</strong>the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy Conceptual Framework as a prelude <strong>to</strong> the development and drafting <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy.The <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy Conceptual Framework was presented <strong>to</strong> the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veterans duringMarch 2011 for her consideration and approval. As a further input <strong>to</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy, twodetailed staff papers pertaining <strong>to</strong> Geostrategic Environment and <strong>Defence</strong> scenarios and key elements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong>Strategy are in the process <strong>of</strong> development. It is envisaged that the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy will be considered for approvalby the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veterans during the course <strong>of</strong> the financial year 2011/12 after a public/stakeholderconsultation process has been finalised as a final input <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Strategy. In addition <strong>to</strong> the above, a staffpaper on the National Security Strategy is in the process <strong>of</strong> development wherein the National Security Strategy PolicyAnchors impacting on <strong>Defence</strong> are being identified.1.1.1.2 The <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Military Veterans. The Military Veterans' Bill was approved during December 2010, which wasconsequently followed with an analysis and determination <strong>of</strong> the strategic resourcing <strong>to</strong> enable the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong>Military Veterans <strong>to</strong> achieve its constitutional mandate <strong>of</strong> ensuring justifiable socio-economic rights <strong>to</strong> military veterans.This was presented <strong>to</strong> the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veterans during a Ministerial work session in March2011.

Itforms the DOD's primary contribution <strong>to</strong> youth development. The MSDS also alleviates unemployment and povertyby preparing young people between the age <strong>of</strong> 18 and 26 years for rewarding careers either in the SANDF or for decentemployment in the broader public and private sec<strong>to</strong>rs. The MSDS is a two-year contract based service system and isthe main feeder system for the Regular Force and Reserves. The MSDS has the following goals:The system inducts new members in<strong>to</strong> the SANDF.It equips members with basic military skills and functional training for service in the military.It evaluates member's development potential and suitability for continued services in the Regular Force andReserves.It tests members so that the organisation can choose individuals for a possible continued career in the military.It ensures a sufficiently trained pool <strong>of</strong> young and fit members <strong>to</strong> fulfil the SANDF's deployment needs.It feeds the Reserves with trained troops and junior leaders.Is the primary vehicle <strong>to</strong> rejuvenate the SANDF's Human Resource composition (Regular Force and Reserves)<strong>to</strong> improve mission readiness and <strong>to</strong> grant development opportunities <strong>to</strong> the youth.1.1.1.5.2 Since the inception <strong>of</strong> the MSDS, 33 536 youths joined the employment system <strong>of</strong> the SANDF. Of the <strong>to</strong>tal intake,8 542 are currently serving in the MSDS, 6 770 have separated from the SANDF (<strong>of</strong> whom 4 821 are serving in theReserves) and 18 224 translated <strong>to</strong> the Regular Forces where they are undergoing advanced training in various disciplinesand are being utilised accordingly.1.1.1.5.3 The results <strong>of</strong> implementing the MSDS are best viewed from the vantage point <strong>of</strong> rank-age compliance: only 10.8%<strong>of</strong> Privates were in the age group 18 <strong>to</strong> 24 years old in the year 2000 compared <strong>to</strong> 55% currently.1.1.1.5.4 The MSDS also is a feeder system, at entry levels, <strong>of</strong> scarce skills and critical musterings. Since its inception, 6 172youths have been employed in critical musterings i.e. air space control, aircrew, combat navy, engineer, medical pr<strong>of</strong>essional,nursing, technical and technical air. Therefore, the MSDS significantly contributes, at entry level, <strong>to</strong> the sustainmen<strong>to</strong>f scarce skills and critical musterings.1.1.1.5.5 The young men and women who emerge after MSDS service are on the whole much more mature, disciplined, servicedelivery orientated, career orientated and patriotic than one would normally expect from young people who havejust completed high-school. Through the MSDS, the SANDF continues <strong>to</strong> invest directly in South Africa's mostimportant asset, our youth. In support <strong>of</strong> the government initiative on job creation, the DOD plans <strong>to</strong> create job opportunitiesfor 5 700 young South Africans per year through the MSDS.1.1.1.6 Border Safeguarding. As per the 2009 Cabinet decision, the SANDF has assumed the borderline control function.In execution <strong>of</strong> this task under Operation CORONA, the SANDF has adopted a phased-in strategy. The first phase(Zimbabwe/South Africa border) and the second phase (Mozambique/South Africa border) has been rolled out. Thelast phase <strong>of</strong> the strategy with regards <strong>to</strong> the Lesotho/South Africa border will be completed by the financial year2012/13.1.1.1.7 <strong>Defence</strong> Industry.1.1.1.7.1 ARMSCOR and DENEL are central in this regard. Armscor is established in terms <strong>of</strong> applicable legislation <strong>to</strong> serveas the acquisition agency <strong>of</strong> the DOD. Because <strong>of</strong> this role, ARMSCOR is a critical stakeholder in so far as theSANDF's operational effectiveness is concerned.

Experience over the years has continuouslypointed <strong>to</strong>wards the need for the review <strong>of</strong> the relationship between the DOD and ARMSCOR for the purposes <strong>of</strong>achieving efficiency and economy. A conceptual framework for the repositioning <strong>of</strong> ARMSCOR has been developed.This framework addresses matters <strong>of</strong> relationships between ARMSCOR and the DOD in terms <strong>of</strong> business process,governance, risk, compliance and accounting.1.1.1.7.2 DENEL is a public enterprise falling under the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the Minister <strong>of</strong> Public Enterprises. DENEL is veryimportant <strong>to</strong> the DOD as it serves as the reposi<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> the SANDF's strategic capabilities. For DENEL <strong>to</strong>remain such an important supplier <strong>of</strong> defence capabilities and given the current challenges faced by DENEL, the relationshipbetween the DOD and DENEL has <strong>to</strong> be clearly defined. Noting the importance <strong>of</strong> DENEL <strong>to</strong> the SANDF'scontinued operational efficiency and effectiveness, the DOD has adopted a framework which forms the basis <strong>of</strong> itsdiscussions with the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Enterprises on DENEL. Central <strong>to</strong> the discussions is the realisation <strong>of</strong> anend state where DENEL shall remain the reliable supplier <strong>of</strong> strategic capital equipment <strong>to</strong> the SANDF, yet remainsa going concern that claims a share in the international defence market. A presentation outlining several options interms <strong>of</strong> the public entities will be made <strong>to</strong> the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veterans for consideration andapproval by the Council on <strong>Defence</strong> (COD) during the financial year 2011/12.1.1.1.8 Revitalisation <strong>of</strong> the Reserves. The current Reserves strength has increased <strong>to</strong> 26 147 <strong>of</strong> which approximately 84%are from the previously disadvantaged groups. About 12 500 <strong>of</strong> the 26 147 are being called-up per year. This hasenabled the DOD not only <strong>to</strong> utilise the Reserves in external deployment but also <strong>to</strong> deploy them on the borders wherethey are achieving success. During the reporting period, the <strong>Defence</strong> Act was amended <strong>to</strong> make it compulsory for theReserves <strong>to</strong> respond <strong>to</strong> call-ups not only in times <strong>of</strong> war but also in times <strong>of</strong> national need. This has provided the ability<strong>to</strong> invest in the development <strong>of</strong> the Reserves.1.1.1.9 <strong>Defence</strong> Infrastructure. The reversal <strong>of</strong> the DOD deteriorating infrastructure requires both additional financial allocationand increased technical capacity. In order <strong>to</strong> address the declining state <strong>of</strong> defence infrastructure, the DOD willbe finalising discussions with the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Works on the establishment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> EstateManagement mechanism which will result in the DOD progressively exiting from the current arrangement on Propertyand Facilities Management by the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Works. In pursuance <strong>of</strong> this objective, the rolling-out <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Defence</strong> Works Capacity, which is an in-house capacity <strong>to</strong> maintain and repair defence facilities, will be implementedin the financial year 2011/12. On 01 April 2011 Project LEBAKA <strong>of</strong>ficially merged <strong>to</strong> form the <strong>Defence</strong> WorksCapability. The new formation is aimed at providing efficient, effective and economical operational level FacilityManagement in support <strong>of</strong> the strategy and objectives <strong>of</strong> the DOD. The macro-structure <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> WorksFormation was approved by the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veterans on 23 March 2011. Subsequently, theActing CSANDF issued an implementation instruction for the establishment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Defence</strong> Works Formation witheffect from 01 April 2011.1.1.1.10 Balanced Scoreboard (BSC) Project. The ongoing development <strong>of</strong> the BSC within the DOD has been enhancedthrough the development <strong>of</strong> the DOD Strategic Planning Framework (SPF) during the financial year 2010/11. TheBSC has aligned itself with the corporate Level 0 and 1 performance information as contained within the SPF andapproved by the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veterans. The translation <strong>of</strong> the noted SPF performance informationin<strong>to</strong> the electronic COGNOS system, in conjunction with SITA, will see the incremental roll-out <strong>of</strong> electronicallymanaged performance information during the financial year 2011/12.1.1.2 Strategic decisions. During the year under review the following strategic decisions were confirmed:On 3 March 2011, the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veterans made a determination on matters considered importantfor the DOD <strong>to</strong> pursue as strategic priorities during the financial year 2011/12 and beyond. These defence prioritiesseek, on the one hand, <strong>to</strong> implement the State <strong>of</strong> the Nation Address pronouncements applicable <strong>to</strong> the DODwhilst on the other hand, they place at focus other defence important sustained agenda matters.

Services rendered2.1 The services rendered by the DOD are detailed in Part 1 Chapter 2 <strong>of</strong> the Annual Report.2.2 Tariff policyThe DOD tariff policy consists <strong>of</strong> the following elements:2.3 Free servicestariffs instituted by law,tariffs prescribed by a department that are applicable <strong>to</strong> all spheres <strong>of</strong> government; andtariffs unique <strong>to</strong> the DOD determined by the tariff owner and where the tariff structure is approved by theNational Treasury.Free services <strong>to</strong> the amount <strong>of</strong> Rm0,291 were provided by Naval Base Simon's Town <strong>to</strong> visiting foreign ships.3. Capacity Constraints and the impact there<strong>of</strong>Capacity constraints impacted again on the DOD across most functional areas.3.1 The downward trend in skills losses continued throughout the period under review resulting in some critical skills <strong>to</strong>be acquired from industry at exorbitant cost due <strong>to</strong> the expertise not being available in the department anymore.Although new personnel, as an initiative <strong>to</strong> address a joint human resource strategy for training and the utilisation <strong>of</strong>scarce human resources were recruited and trained, it will take time for these members <strong>to</strong> gain the necessary experience.The improved remuneration dispensation implemented during the year under review, is expected <strong>to</strong> decreasethe rate <strong>of</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> personnel at specifically the lower levels.3.2 The impact <strong>of</strong> non-repair and maintenance <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> facilities has resulted in further dilapidation <strong>of</strong> DOD facilities.This continued <strong>to</strong> negatively affect service delivery. A forum has been established at a strategic level between the<strong>Department</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Public Works <strong>to</strong> ensure better service delivery and liaison between the two departments.This has already led <strong>to</strong> a slight improvement in services provided by the National <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Public Works(NDPW). The phased approach <strong>to</strong> create own maintenance <strong>of</strong> facilities capability and migration away from relianceon the NDPW which was accepted by the DOD in the previous financial year has been pursued. In this regard, a<strong>Defence</strong> Works Capability has been established and has already undertaken some maintenance and repair tasks.3.3 The state <strong>of</strong> prime mission equipment, particularly in the Landward <strong>Defence</strong> programme, continued <strong>to</strong> decline <strong>to</strong> unacceptablelevels. Additional funding provided for maintenance and repair <strong>of</strong> the operational vehicle fleet has had someeffect, but is not sufficient <strong>to</strong> address this concern adequately. The rejuvenation <strong>of</strong> these capabilities therefore remainsone <strong>of</strong> the DOD's <strong>to</strong>p priorities. It is expected that in the ensuing financial year, this capacity will be upscaled.3.4 The shortage <strong>of</strong> specialists (technical staff) and support personnel continued <strong>to</strong> have a negative effect on the staffing<strong>of</strong> personnel <strong>to</strong> all the peace support missions, resulting in contingents not being fully staffed. This again has resultedin the non-compliance <strong>of</strong> minimum standards <strong>of</strong> serviceability <strong>of</strong> major equipment and as a result there<strong>of</strong> the DODANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 159

To mitigate this, theFinancial Management Division is in the process <strong>of</strong> realigning its structures with the intention <strong>of</strong> creating capacity interms <strong>of</strong> skills and qualifications as well as the number <strong>of</strong> incumbents. Within the Logistic Division the macro structurehas already been adjusted making provision for the appointment <strong>of</strong> senior managers in the specialist areas <strong>of</strong> assetmanagement, accruals and leases. Micro structures will be developed in the 2011/12 financial year and will be staffedwith skilled and qualified incumbents.4. Utilisation <strong>of</strong> donor funding4.1 The DOD did not receive any donations that were directly administered by the department.4.2 The DOD received reimbursements from the United Nations for the participation in peace support operations amounting<strong>to</strong> Rm250, 767.

It is acknowledged that during the year under review, the Internal Audit Unit did no<strong>to</strong>perate under the leadership <strong>of</strong> the Head <strong>of</strong> Internal Audit as the post was vacant, thus all its activities were carriedout under the leadership <strong>of</strong> the Inspec<strong>to</strong>r General DOD. It is anticipated that the unit's head will be appointed duringthe financial year 2011/12 as the recruitment process has reached an advanced stage. It is anticipated that once theinternal audit function is fully functional in the coming years, it will provide management with the assurance aboutthe processes in place <strong>to</strong> ensure accurate reporting in-year and the adequacy <strong>of</strong> these before the external audit is conductedwhich should reduce the number <strong>of</strong> findings and misstatements in the interim and final financial and performancereports.8.3.3.2 During the period under review, 87 audits were conducted and the following components were addressed:Performance Measurement. Annual and quarterly reports were audited and inconsistencies in the reporting<strong>of</strong> targets were identified and reported <strong>to</strong> the appropriate management. However, there has been a remarkableimprovement on the accuracy <strong>of</strong> performance information reported in the quarterly and annual reports.Combat Readiness. Although no combat readiness audits were conducted in the period under review, the outcome<strong>of</strong> the audits conducted in the previous financial year proved <strong>to</strong> be valuable. Chronic and critical shortcomingsin the resources, budget constraints and loss <strong>of</strong> technically qualified and/or skilled personnel reportedin the previous financial year, led <strong>to</strong> the improvement <strong>of</strong> combat readiness <strong>of</strong> forces reporting <strong>to</strong> the mobilisationcentres.Mobilisation and Foreign Deployment.

The budget and supporting systems are cash-based resulting in limiteddecision making financial management information. <strong>Defence</strong> is continuously assessing and updating its budgetingsystems <strong>to</strong> ensure compliance with the regula<strong>to</strong>ry framework.8.4 External reporting8.4.1 Annual Report. The Minister tables the annual report including financial statements <strong>to</strong> provide an account <strong>of</strong> thedepartment's performance against the objectives set in the strategic business plan and its financial position and performanceagainst the appropriate budget.8.4.2 Accounting Standards. The Financial Statements have been prepared on the cash basis <strong>of</strong> accounting modified forthe recognition <strong>of</strong> certain near-cash balances and supplemented with disclosures on transactions and balances notrecognised in the primary statements.8.4.3 Performance Measures. The performance measures for departmental outputs are set out in the strategic businessplan as measurable outputs and targets. The actual performance against these measures is reported in the main portion<strong>of</strong> the annual report.8.4.4 External Audit. An objective and pr<strong>of</strong>essional relationship has been established with the Audi<strong>to</strong>r-General. TheSecretary for <strong>Defence</strong> chairs first, interim and final audit steering committee meetings. Co-ordination meetings areheld with the Secretary for <strong>Defence</strong> quarterly and with the Chief Financial Officer monthly. The Audit Committeeco-ordinates the internal audit programme with that <strong>of</strong> the Audi<strong>to</strong>r-General.8.5 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)8.5.1 The function shift <strong>of</strong> the Joint Direc<strong>to</strong>rate Occupational Health and Safety (JDOHS) from the SA Military HealthService (SAMHS) <strong>to</strong> the Human Resources Division was approved by the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and Military Veteranson 19 July 2010. This has improved the line <strong>of</strong> reporting <strong>to</strong> the Secretary for <strong>Defence</strong> and the Chief <strong>of</strong> the SANDF.8.5.2 Significant progress was achieved in the execution <strong>of</strong> OHS by the Services and Divisions. The formally constitutedDOD OHS Forum contributed <strong>to</strong> this improvement. The DOD OHS Forum is a coordinating management forumwhich meets monthly. As constituted, all divisions with units under command are represented on the DOD OHSForum. The Forum also provides for the participation <strong>of</strong> experts <strong>to</strong> provide OHS training and health service deliveryinputs or legal advice.8.5.3 The review <strong>of</strong> the OHS policy was completed and the draft has been distributed for comments. The OHS policyadopts a wider scope. It incorporates the need for the DOD <strong>to</strong> address precautionary and preventative measures; <strong>to</strong>identify the need for strict selection and training <strong>of</strong> members, and <strong>to</strong> review training and equipment doctrine <strong>to</strong> matchanthropomorphic features <strong>of</strong> members. The emphasis has also been placed on instituting good moni<strong>to</strong>ring systems.8.5.4 Good progress was also made in building capacity through training. Al<strong>to</strong>gether 345 <strong>of</strong>ficials underwent OHS training.The OHS course curriculum was redesigned <strong>to</strong> train managers on the OHS Management System at the level <strong>of</strong>execution. This was undertaken <strong>to</strong> align the training curriculum with the new OHS policy and <strong>to</strong> meet the requirementsfor accreditation. An OHS Seminar was held in February 2011 and attended by 89 delegates. The Seminarserved <strong>to</strong> expand the knowledge <strong>of</strong> DOD <strong>of</strong>ficials on the nature <strong>of</strong> occupational hazards in the military.8.5.5 Moni<strong>to</strong>ring OHS compliance is undertaken through the monthly and quarterly reporting system that has been instituted.In addition, on-site inspections <strong>of</strong> units were conducted. This is instrumental in rectification actions and preventativemeasures.8.5.6 The emphasis was placed on units conducting the workplace assessment as prescribed in section 8(d) <strong>of</strong> the OHS Act1993. The Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) was conducted in 64 units. This achievement will beimproved as the DOD builds its OHS capacity and skills.

Theirprimary output being the OHS assessments conducted at units and biological moni<strong>to</strong>ring <strong>of</strong> members. As regards pr<strong>of</strong>essionalskills and staffing, it must be noted that there is a national skills shortage <strong>of</strong> occupational medical practitioners,nurses and occupational hygienists. To address this skill shortage, the SAMHS has initiated a Service LevelAgreement (SLA) with the National Institute <strong>of</strong> Occupational Health <strong>to</strong> meet this need.8.5.7 The JDOHS and IG DOD held discussions during the period under review regarding OHS inspections and audits. Thekey issue being; the building <strong>of</strong> capacity and skills. The concepts <strong>of</strong> establishing an OHS inspec<strong>to</strong>rate is under discussionwith the Chief <strong>of</strong> Human Resources and requires the approval <strong>of</strong> the concept and a post structure. The IGDOD inspects the OHS management aspects during their scheduled inspections.8.5.8 The status <strong>of</strong> OHS compliance <strong>of</strong> facilities received critical attention in the department. Under the direction <strong>of</strong> theChief <strong>of</strong> Logistics the facilities refurbishment programme has been prioritised and the Works Capability Formationhas been established. This programme will see many occupational health and safety issues addressed.8.6 Military Integrated Environmental Management8.6.1 International Environmental Co-operation. The RSA-USA Environmental Security Working Group (ESWG)under the RSA-USA <strong>Defence</strong> Committee achieved all its objectives including the initiation <strong>of</strong> the Joint Guidebook onEnvironmental Auditing and attendance <strong>of</strong> the US Environment, Energy Security and Sustainability (E2S2) symposiumin June 2010 in Denver, Colorado. In collaboration with the ESWG, two events namely, on Maritime SpillResponse during August 2010 in Durban and on Contaminated Land and UXO Contamination during September 2010in Pre<strong>to</strong>ria, were presented <strong>to</strong> arrange, plan and train personnel from military training areas.8.6.2 Military Range Clearance and Total Environmental Contingent Liability. The range clearance operations on theformer Hell's Gate Training Area as part <strong>of</strong> Project UMTHOMBO were concluded with the finalisation <strong>of</strong> independentquality assurance. The surface clearance operations on the thirteen identified priority areas at Madimbo TrainingArea have been initiated with one <strong>of</strong> the danger areas finalised. The development <strong>of</strong> various training modules for thefunctional streams have been finalised for delivery in May 2011 at the Centre <strong>of</strong> Excellence at De Aar. Relevant militarypersonnel are being trained <strong>to</strong> support and provide decision support <strong>to</strong> the proposed Military Range Clearancecapability, as well as the implementation <strong>of</strong> Integrated Training Area Management on military training areas. TheUXO costing model has been extended <strong>to</strong> include spill contamination, soil erosion and alien vegetation <strong>to</strong> determinethe <strong>to</strong>tal environmental contingent liability for disclosure in the DOD financial statements.8.6.3 Operation CORONA. DOD Environmental Services are providing environmental decision support in the re-establishmen<strong>to</strong>f operational bases for the border safeguarding as part <strong>of</strong> Operation CORONA <strong>to</strong> ensure environmentalcompliance by the DOD.8.6.4 Operation VUSELELA. Operation VUSELELA projects were optimised in the Free State Province for increasedbenefit <strong>to</strong> the environment as well as the military veterans. Moni<strong>to</strong>ring and control measures between the DOD,<strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Water Affairs (DWA) and its implementing agent, the Independent Development Trust (IDT) werestrengthened <strong>to</strong> improve the management <strong>of</strong> the project. The identification and verification <strong>of</strong> military veterans by the<strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Military Veterans for participation in this project remain a challenge for the DOD, DWA and IDT.8.6.5 Environmental Appreciation in Force Employment Planning Processes. The Joint Operations Force EmploymentRequirements and Guidelines were promulgated by CSANDF Directive 069/2010. A permanent fac<strong>to</strong>r "Environment"for all force employment planning processes will in future be appreciated and incorporated in planning processes. Inthis sense, environmental personnel have been involved in the planning <strong>of</strong> joint, bilateral and multi-national exercises,namely, Exercise YOUNG EAGLE, Exercise IBSAMAR II, Exercise SHARED ACCORD and Exercise BLUECLUSTER, respectively. Military environmental personnel have also been deployed in the Sudan.ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 167

Discontinued activities/activities <strong>to</strong> be discontinued and new/proposed activities.Discontinued activities, activities <strong>to</strong> be discontinued, new services/outputs <strong>to</strong> be scaled up and services scaled up andservices scaled down or suspended are reported on in Appendix E <strong>of</strong> the Annual Report.10. Asset Management10.1 Background. The DOD was not in a position <strong>to</strong> disclose the required asset information in the Annual FinancialStatements for the past three years as a result <strong>of</strong> the following challenges:10.1.1 Assets are managed manually or on one <strong>of</strong> the five logistical systems and are paid for via the Financial ManagementSystem (FMS). These systems support cash accounting and are not integrated.10.1.2 The use <strong>of</strong> the multiple logistic systems lead <strong>to</strong> data integrity issues, especially when assets are transferred betweenunits using different logistical systems.10.1.3 No segregation between asset and inven<strong>to</strong>ry items on the system as required by the National Treasury's Standard Char<strong>to</strong>f Accounts (SCOA).10.1.4 Monetary values such as the original purchase price are only carried in respect <strong>of</strong> certain items as it was not requiredon the system.10.1.5 In cases where the original purchase price has been captured, it is not always verifiable.10.1.6 Acquisition dates were also not carried on the systems and it is therefore difficult <strong>to</strong> determine the value <strong>of</strong> the assets.10.1.7 Not all assets are uniquely identifiable (equipment unique serial number or bar code) such as <strong>of</strong>fice furniture. Theyare managed based on quantities per National S<strong>to</strong>ck Number (NSN) and location only.10.2 Asset Management PlanIn order <strong>to</strong> address these challenges and the audit qualifications, the DOD developed a short and long term rectificationplan. The short term plan focuses on the utilisation <strong>of</strong> the existing systems, Operational Support InformationSystem (OSIS) and Computer Aided Logistic Management Information System (CALMIS) <strong>to</strong> establish an assetregister, while the long term plan focuses on the implementation <strong>of</strong> an integrated defence supply chain and life cyclemanagement system based on internationally recognised best practices, and enabled by a single integrated logisticmanagement information system, including the IFMS asset register and procurement modules.10.3 Progress against plan10.3.1 Short Term Intervention Plan. As a result <strong>of</strong> the high volumes <strong>of</strong> assets, geographical spread and in some cases thelack <strong>of</strong> unique identification (bar coding) <strong>of</strong> assets, the short term plan is executed in three phases. Phase one focussedon the serial controlled items, while phase 2 and 3 will focus on the bar coding and verification <strong>of</strong> the other asset categories.Highlighted below is the progress with regards <strong>to</strong> phase 1.10.3.1.1 Moveable Capital AssetsA draft asset management policy framework has been developed.The Item Identification Database (IID) has been updated <strong>to</strong> allow for the indication <strong>of</strong> SCOA AssetClassifications. Each NSN can be marked as an Asset or an Inven<strong>to</strong>ry Item based on the SCOA and managedaccordingly.The current logistic Information Systems (CALMIS and OSIS) have been updated <strong>to</strong> carry the informationrequired as reflected in the National Treasury Asset Management Framework in order <strong>to</strong> adhere <strong>to</strong> the minimumrequirements <strong>of</strong> an asset register. Although these are two separate registers - a single view on assets has168ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011

The first step in phase 2will be <strong>to</strong> complete this process.The relevant asset information is available on the DOD Corporate Data Warehouse in order <strong>to</strong> providea single view on end assets (Asset Register).10.3.1.2 Immoveable Capital Assets - <strong>Defence</strong> Endowment Property (DEP)The Endowment Property Asset Register compilation project has advanced considerably. Category A assets, being theLand and Buildings register has been fully compiled and work <strong>to</strong> complete valuation in that regard is nearing completion.CategoryB assets, being Leases and Agreements and Category C assets, being Securities are currently beinganalysed and appropriately classified and valued and it is anticipated that the work on this will be completed by 30September 2011 at which stage the DOD will be in a position <strong>to</strong> have a fully compliant asset register <strong>of</strong> all these assetsin line with the requirements <strong>of</strong> the Endowment Property and Account Act (Act No 33 <strong>of</strong> 1922).10.3.2 Long Term Repositioning Plan10.3.2.1 A draft Supply Chain Management and Life Cycle Management Framework has been developed.10.3.2.2 The User Requirement Specification for an integrated <strong>Defence</strong> Logistic Information System is in the process <strong>of</strong> beingdeveloped.10.3.2.3 An implementation charter was signed with the IFMS project team <strong>of</strong> the National Treasury, whereby it was agreedthat the DOD will implement the Asset and Procurement modules <strong>of</strong> the IFMS. National Treasury (IFMS Section)will assist the DOD in acquiring approval for the lifting <strong>of</strong> the mora<strong>to</strong>rium on procurement and implementation <strong>of</strong> aunique Single <strong>Defence</strong> Logistic Integrated Information Management System.10.4 ValuationsAs highlighted above, all the assets were carried at the latest purchase price on the current logistical systems. As par<strong>to</strong>f the short term intervention plan, all serial controlled items are in a process <strong>of</strong> being revalued at fair value or in caseswhere sufficient evidence was available, it was recorded at cost price.10.5 DisclosureIn order <strong>to</strong> illustrate the progress that has been made during Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> the short term intervention plan the DODagreed <strong>to</strong> disclose assets information in the Annual Financial Statements. The DOD recognizes that the asset informationdisclosed is not complete and has therefore included additional notes <strong>to</strong> explain what has been disclosed in order<strong>to</strong> ensure a fair presentation <strong>of</strong> the financial statements. The work largely completed in Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> the project dealtwith the verification and data clean-up on the complete systems <strong>of</strong> the major categories <strong>of</strong> Transport Assets andSpecialised Military Equipment. The balance will be carried out <strong>to</strong>gether with the other categories <strong>of</strong> assets underPhase 2 <strong>of</strong> the project which will entail the bar coding <strong>of</strong> these assets as well.ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011 169

A proper project plan has beencompiled and it is envisaged that a proper intangible asset register will be completed by the end <strong>of</strong> the 2011/12 financialyear. In the meantime all the additions as per the SCOA definitions for the 2010/11 financial year have been disclosed.11. Inven<strong>to</strong>riesBoth the short and long term asset management plan will also address the current challenges with regards <strong>to</strong> inven<strong>to</strong>ry,especially the segregation between assets and inven<strong>to</strong>ry and the valuation <strong>of</strong> inven<strong>to</strong>ry. The DOD will however,in the interim, disclose inven<strong>to</strong>ry on the first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis which matches the design <strong>of</strong> the current systemsthat reflect values at the latest purchase price.12. Special <strong>Defence</strong> AccountIn the year under review, the annual financial statements <strong>of</strong> the Special <strong>Defence</strong> Account are excluded from the AnnualReport <strong>of</strong> the DOD. This has been necessitated by the decision <strong>to</strong> change the accounting framework from an entityspecificframework <strong>to</strong> GRAP. The change in the framework necessitated the financial statements <strong>to</strong> be reconstructed<strong>to</strong> be in line with the new framework, including the restatement <strong>of</strong> all comparative figures for the previous year, includingthe notes and accounting policies applicable. It is anticipated that these statements will be available for tabling <strong>to</strong>the Legislature immediately after completion <strong>of</strong> the audit process.13. Events after the reporting dateThere were no events after the reporting date.14. Performance information14.1 Performance information is described in Part 1 <strong>to</strong> 4 <strong>of</strong> the Annual Report.14.2 The DOD is addressing the following issues regarding performance information as identified by the Audi<strong>to</strong>r General:14.2.1 Policy Framework. In order <strong>to</strong> deal with the weaknesses in the policy framework around the management <strong>of</strong> performanceinformation, the department is developing a comprehensive corporate policy which clearly describes roles,responsibilities and control activities necessary for the efficient management <strong>of</strong> this task.14.2.2 Strategic Plan. During the financial year 2010/11 the DOD under<strong>to</strong>ok the institutionalisation and implementation <strong>of</strong>the results-based planning process principles (outcomes, outputs, activities and inputs) as prescribed by the NationalTreasury through the development <strong>of</strong> the DOD Strategic Planning Framework (SPF). The SPF facilitated the reformulationand enhancement <strong>of</strong> departmental performance information as aligned <strong>to</strong> outcomes and outputs, thereby ensuringthe auditability <strong>of</strong> performance information in compliance with the National Treasury performance informationstandards. This will be evident in the financial year 2011/12.14.2.3 Internal Control. Taking cognisance <strong>of</strong> the weaknesses that have been raised regarding the accuracy and completeness<strong>of</strong> the information reported in the Annual Report, during the year under review, improvements in controls havebeen implemented <strong>to</strong> ensure that the information planned and reported at the lower levels is accurately and completelytransferred <strong>to</strong> the Annual Report. The matters raised in the Audit Report have been investigated and rectified inpreparation for the next audit cycle.14.2.4 Risk Management. The DOD Strategic Risk Register has been updated <strong>to</strong> include the risks and mitigation actionsrelating <strong>to</strong> performance information.170ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011

Isolated requests for aid were reviewedbut not approved. The newly appointed Board has finally been <strong>of</strong>ficially approved by the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> and MilitaryVeterans. With the Board in place and the finance committee functioning, it is anticipated that activities <strong>of</strong> the Fund will increaseand the Fund will render aid <strong>to</strong> the beneficiaries <strong>of</strong> the Fund during the 2011/2012 financial year.F i n a n c i a l r e s u l t sIncome for the financial year consisted <strong>of</strong> interest received mainly on investments. Interest on investments was capitalised. Thisresulted in the investment capital increasing by 5.97 %. (7.39 % in 2009/2010). The growth <strong>of</strong> the investment is lower than theprior year due <strong>to</strong> the lower interest rates during the current year and the transfer <strong>of</strong> capital (R16 000) <strong>to</strong> the current account <strong>to</strong>finance operating costs.Expenditure for the financial year consisted mainly <strong>of</strong> audit fees, honorarium <strong>of</strong> the accountant and travelling expenses for Boardmembers attending Board meetings.E v e n t s a f t e r t h e r e p o r t i n g d a t eThere were no events, favourable and unfavourable, that occurred after the reporting date.I n t e r e s t o f t h e B o a r d m e m b e r sBoard members do not have any interest in the SANDF Fund.278ANNUAL REPORT FY 2010/2011

Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan andperform the audit <strong>to</strong> obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures <strong>to</strong> obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.The procedures selected depend on the audi<strong>to</strong>r's judgement, including the assessment <strong>of</strong> the risks <strong>of</strong> material misstatement <strong>of</strong> thefinancial statements, whether due <strong>to</strong> fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the audi<strong>to</strong>r considers internal control relevant<strong>to</strong> the entity's preparation and fair presentation <strong>of</strong> the financial statements in order <strong>to</strong> design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances, but not for the purpose <strong>of</strong> expressing an opinion on the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the entity's internal control.An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness <strong>of</strong> accounting policies used and the reasonableness <strong>of</strong> accounting estimatesmade by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation <strong>of</strong> the financial statements.I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate <strong>to</strong> provide a basis for my audit opinion.O p i n i o nIn my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position <strong>of</strong> the South African National<strong>Defence</strong> Force Fund as at 31 March 2011, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordancewith South African Standards <strong>of</strong> Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (SA Standards <strong>of</strong> GRAP) and the requirements <strong>of</strong>section 22 (7) <strong>of</strong> the Fund Raising Act 1978, (Act No. 107 <strong>of</strong> 1978).A d d i t i o n a l m a t t e r sI draw attention <strong>to</strong> the matters below.
