LEGAL AID SOUTH AFRICA INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 20 PART B: PERFORMANCE INFORMATION In spite of the prevailing unfavourable economic circumstances, we continued to provide access to justice to all South Africans without compromising the high quality standards which we have committed ourselves to.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION 1. STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018 The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the preparation of Legal Aid South Africa’s performance information and for the judgments made in this information. Furthermore, the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for establishing and implementing a system of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of performance information. In my opinion, the performance information fairly reflects the actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators and targets as per the Strategic and Annual Performance Plan of the public entity for the financial year ended 31 March 2018. Legal Aid SA’s performance information for the year ended 31 March 2018 has been examined by the external auditors and their report is presented on page 107. The performance information of Legal Aid South Africa set out on pages 37 to 46 was approved by the Board. Vidhu Vedalankar Chief Executive Officer: Legal Aid SA 28 July 2018 2. AUDITOR’S REPORT: PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES The role of the Auditor-General South Africa/Auditor is acknowledged as critical to the sustainability of Legal Aid SA, as it provides independent assurance that activities being carried out within Legal Aid South Africa are in accordance with the approved predetermined objectives and mandate. The audit conclusion on the performance against predetermined objectives is included in the report to management, with material findings being reported under the Predetermined Objectives in the Report on other legal and regulatory requirements. Please refer to page 106 of the Report of the External Auditor, published in Part F: Financial Information. LEGAL AID SOUTH AFRICA INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 Children remain a focus area for Legal Aid South Africa and this includes foreign children that find themselves in a vulnerable position. A 15-year-old child fled war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo to South Africa but in the process was separated from her family and other refugees. The child was found abandoned on the streets of Pietermaritzburg. Mr N attempted to assist the child to locate her family but was unsuccessful. Mr N also attempted to re-patriate the child but this could not be done as no family could be found in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mr N wanted to approach courts to assist the child. Our Legal Aid SA Pietermaritzburg Local Office assisted Mr N in applying for parental rights and responsibilities in respect of the child so that a proper assessment of the circumstances could be done and that a Court, which is the uppermost guardian of children, can intervene and make an appropriate order to protect the child. 21
