FOR WRITTEN REPLY

Date of publication on internal question paper: 6 June 2008

Internal question paper no:

Dr. R Rabinowitz (IFP) to ask the Minister of Social Development:

(1) Whether he will ensure that his department and all entities or councils reporting to him (a) monitors and (b) reduces its carbon footprint with immediate effect; if so, how will this be done;

(2) Whether this will include the phasing out of glossy publications from all agencies or councils reporting to him; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details;

(3) (a) whatis the estimated cost of all such (i) reports and (ii) publications per annum in the case of these agencies or councils and all other working documents of his department and (b) what kinds of (i) energy are being used in the offices of department and (ii) energy saving measures are being implemented in these offices? NW1221E

REPLY:

(1) DSD supports government initiatives to actively start to monitor and reduce its carbon footprint with immediate effect. This should be done amongst others as follows:

· Changing the procurement policy of government to only allow for the procurement energy efficient equipment – e.g. printers, copiers, computers, etc.

· By actively addressing the energy consumption of the department – obtain the figures of consumption of both electricity and liquid fuels and then instructing the facilities managers to actively manage the reduction of energy consumption, by training, making sure that all equipment is switched off when not in use and replacing old inefficient equipment with new technology e.g. LED bulbs and LED tube lights. Where lights can only be switched off per corridor and not per office, motion detectors should be installed.

· Have the IT section reviewed – it has been proven internationally that only 5% of the capacity of servers is used at any one time. Air conditioning in server rooms can be done more efficiently.

· Establishing fixed procedures for recycling of paper, computer equipment, glass, and plastic. Departments should not give old computers to schools in rural areas as old computers are very inefficient and will burden a rural school with high electricity accounts. It should be recycled and the funds received for spare parts could be used to buy computers for rural schools.

· Implementation of a paperless work environment – where only final documents will be printed, scanned and filed electronically.

· Introducing flexi hours with a wider range (at office between 10:00 and 14:30) so that some officials can prevent travelling at peak times in congested traffic. Those wishing to start at 6:00 could leave at 14:30.

· Have regular training sessions or workshops for officials on how to be energy efficient in their homes and at the office, what are the benefits, how to determine the lifecycle cost of a product, what does the energy efficiency label mean, how to drive energy efficiently, etc.

· Actively replacing electric geysers with solar water heaters where possible.

· For backup systems during power failures solar energy with batteries and uninterruptible power supplies should be looked at for essential equipment like computers only.

· Government should introduce carbon trading schemes to part fund projects where new technology must be procured. Private Public Partnerships could also be used in this regard.

(2) Yes, costs to glossy publications are reduced by uploading or posting documents on the website. It is agreed that glossy publications should only be allowed in those government entities where there is an active, monitored and managed recycling of paper system in place, and all officials, cleaners and management adheres to it.

(3) (a) (i) Reports Annual Report R168 330

Locuum Report R53 000

(ii) Publications: Profiles and Strategy Document R161 880

NDA generic brochure R104 880

Posters R16 396

Strategy document 2007 R33 000

Strategy document 2008 R58 000

(3) (b) (i) Electricity (normal)

- computers

- electricity for lights

(ii) DSD has made provision through its facilities management for electricity to be switched off when offices are not used. In line with Eskom’s suggestions, DSD is moving towards replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy savy light bulbs. DSD further encourages the department and agencies to use cheaper means of producing key documents. This will include the possible use (depending on cost) of recycled paper. Glossy publications are also actively discouraged to be replaced with acceptable alternatives.

QUESTION 906

FOR WRITTEN REPLY

Date of publication on internal question paper: 6 June 2008

Internal question paper no: 16

Interdepartmental transfer from Health, this question was transferred by Questions Office in Parliament on 17 July 2008.

906. Mr L W Greyling (ID) to ask the Minister of Social Development:

(1) Whether his department has ascertained or estimated how many orphaned families are headed by teenagers as a result of the death of parents because of illness; if so, how many such orphaned families are living in each province;

(2) whether they are receiving any assistance from the State; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;

(3) (a) how does his department promote the rights of orphaned and vulnerable children through services of support that are available to child headed household and (b) were are these rendered in each province and (c) by whom to (d) how many child headed households? NW1596E

REPLY:

(1) DSD has not yet ascertained the number of orphaned families that are headed by teenagers as a result of the death of parents because of illness, however, here under follows the number of Child Headed Households (CHH) per provinces that received services within Home Based Care for the period April 2007 – March 2008:

Province	Number of CHH
Eastern Cape	610
Free State	714
Gauteng	4 828
Kwa Zulu Natal	12 381
Limpopo	176
Mpumalanga	2 951
Northern Cape	93
North West	1 623
Western Cape	522
Total	23 898

(2) Yes, CHH including the families headed by teenagers as a result of death of parents because of illness do receive assistance from the State. The services rendered to them are guided by Child Care Act number 74 of 1983 as amended.

Presently children in Child Headed Households (including orphaned families that are headed by teenagers) are regarded as children in need of care according to the Child Care Act number 74 of 1983 as amended. After identifying each and every Child Headed House Hold, it is assessed by social workers who would then provide either statutory services or community based services. The type of service that needs to be rendered to the family will then be informed by the outcome of the assessment.

Statutory services rendered to the CHH’s families are as follows:

- Therapeutic counselling where the family members are motivated to learn and understand their individual and different situations; and also learn to live with it.

- Alternative placement where children, who are keen to be removed and be placed in alternative care, that is foster care or residential care, are removed and be placed accordingly. Both foster care and residential placements are court ordered by the local magisterial court after the social worker has investigated the situation and recommended the suitable placement to the court.

- Adult supervisory arrangement, where an adult in the nearby surrounding is identified to provide the family with parental care and guidance regularly. The adult supervisor is staying at her or his respective home, but keeps constant supervision to the family. This is an out of court settlement, but the social worker is expected to provide the overall supervision.

- In situations where children are on their own without any adult supervision, the family is linked with the local home community based care centers.

- Poor relief in a form of food parcels (as a temporary intervention whilst the social worker is planning for a permanent intervention) is provided to Child Headed Households.

Community based care services are rendered in drop in centers or home community based care centers. The following services are renders in a drop in center:

- Provision of meals

- Assistance with home work, for those children that are attending school

- Recreation in a form of sports

- Linking the children with other resources that might improve their individual situation, for instance the department of Health, Education, Housing and so on

- Counselling to the family

The following services are rendered in home community based care centers:

- Care and support

- Linking the children with other resources that might improve their individual situation, for instance the department of Health, Education, Housing, Home Affairs and so on.

The specific focus on CHH is outlined in section 137 of the Children’s Act, Act No 38 of 2005. This will enable DSD to develop strategies specifically targeting CHH’s. The services will then be uniform and consistent across provinces. Presently the services to CHH’s are fragmented and not the same across the provinces.

(3) Yes, DSD promotes the rights of orphaned and vulnerable children,

(a) Through services of support. This includes statutory services and community based care services render to the orphaned and vulnerable children.

(b) In the provinces the services are rendered at the social workers’ offices, drop in centers and home community based care centers.

(c) These services are rendered by social workers, community development workers and child, child and youth care workers and volunteers.

(d) Presently there is no representative data on the number of CHH. The information in (1) is an estimated number.

Currently provinces operate differently in rendering the services. The Children’s Act, Act No 38 of 2005 as amended, section 137 is focusing specifically at addressing the needs of CHH. Furthermore, DSD is expected to develop the strategy for CHH, which will then inform a consistent and uniform approach to service delivery. The finalisation of the regulations to the Children’s Act will also assist in this regard.

QUESTION NO. 907

(Internal Question Paper No 16 – 2008)

Mr I E Jenner (ID) to ask the Minister for Provincial and Local Government:

(1) Whether his department is taking any steps to increase the delivering capacity of local authorities in respect of services and the provision of housing; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what steps;

(2) (a) which local authorities are receiving assistance to increase its delivering capacity and (b) with what result?

ANSWER

(1) Yes, the dplg has taken steps to increase the delivery capacity of municipalities in respect of infrastructure and service provisioning. Since the inception of the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) Programme, municipalities have been allowed to top-slice their MIG allocation (0,5% - 5%, but not exceeding R3,5 million), so that they may be able to establish Project Management Units (PMUs). As at the end of the previous national financial year (2007/08), 190 PMUs had been established.

In addition, in 2006 Government commenced with the deployment of technical, project management, financial and planning experts within municipalities through the Project Consolidate initiative. As at the end of the March 2008, support had been provided to 110 municipalities.

(2) (a) The municipalities receiving assistance to increase their delivery capacity are:

“909. Mrs D van der Walt (DA) to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture:

(1) Whether any staff appointments were made by the Chief Executive Officer of the Pan South African Language Board; if so, what are the relevant details of the appointments since January 2007;

(2) whether he was consulted on such appointments since January 2007; if not, why not, if so, what are the relevant details?”

NW1599E

REPLY:

1. Indeed the Chief Executive Officer did make some appointments and post level changes to the PanSALB establishment since her appointment on 1 April 2007.

2. Since I was not consulted nor formally informed of the appointments, I am not able to give the relevant details.

I am however aware that she appointed a Deputy Chief Executive Officer; elevated staff members’ post levels in her Office; and elevated the post levels of the Provincial Officers. I am concerned about these developments since the Ad Hoc Committee on the Review of Chapter 9 Institutions called for the dissolution of these offices. I am especially concerned about the appointment of the Deputy CEO as this is not provided for in the Act. I have also not seen it happening with similar institutions such as the Commission on Gender Equality (CGE) or the CRL Commission – not that I am implying that it ought not to happen for a good reason. I just think that it would be appropriate if there were justifiable reasons for the appointment.

Many of the concerns that relate to PanSALB can be attributed to the current reporting lines (i.e. PanSALB reporting to Parliament). In other words, while I am financially accountable for the organisation and responsible in terms of appointing the Board, they do not report to me. This is something that even the Ad Hoc Committee on the Review of Chapter 9 institutions pointed out. This relationship needs urgent clarification. As things stand now, I am not fully apprised by PanSALB of its activities or plans.

Whether the Competition Commission will conduct an investigation into the scrap metal sector regarding the theft of nonferrous metals, in particular aluminium and copper; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?NW1603E

The Competition Commission has no jurisdiction to investigate any matters relating to theft. However, the Commission has investigated anticompetitive practices in the scrap metals sector. The findings of the investigation indicated that the New Reclamation Group and others were engaged in collusion and exclusionary conduct in contravention of the Competition Act. In April 2008, the Commission entered into a consent agreement with the New Reclamation Group (“Reclam”).

QUESTION 938

FOR WRITTEN REPLY

Mr E W Trent (DA) to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry:

(1) Whether, he is considering the establishment of export processing zones; if not,
what is the position in this regard; if so,

(2) Whether he will consider converting existing Industrial development zones into export processing zones; If not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?NW1628E

Response:

(1) the dti has not considered establishing Export Processing Zones (EPZs) in the sense of the historical model adopted by many countries across the world.

An EPZ is a designated area set up by government to promote industrial and commercial exports and to provide tax and other incentives to export firms. Historically, EPZs are exempt from numerous laws such as labour laws. Another prominent feature of an EPZ is that once declared, the zone would only apply to industrialists or investors that export 100% of their finished .goods with no flexibility of selling some of their products locally even when expedient or practical.

In South Africa, following consultations between government, organised labour and business, it was decided to introduce Industrial Development Zones (IDZ). The IDZ concept was drawn from the EPZconcept and adapted to the local context IDZs are still export-oriented but unlike EPZs, allow for certain manufactured goods to be sold into the local market. However, in order to achieve the main objective of the IDZ programme, duty free and VAT exemption benefits accrue to export activities and for every consignment that is destined for the South African market such benefits are forfeited.

(2) the dti is not at present considering converting existing IDZs into EPZs. However, the dti is currently in the process of reviewing the IDZ policy in order to broaden the scope of the programme and improve its governance. The objective of promoting value-added manufacturing in .expirt-oriented IDZs will still be maintained but support will now be extended to services sectors that contribute to GDP growth and employment creation. The laws and regulations of the country will still apply, such as, labour and environmental laws.

This approach is being debated within the context of the IDZ policy review and its rationale is that:

South African IDZs can differentiate themselves from other competing zones
In the region and other developing economies and create an enabling
environment to attract investors;
IDZs can develop automated cargo control capabilities which will result in significant reduction in cumbersome administrative requirements for both SARS and companies located in the IDZS;
All critical government departments and agencies would .be required to participate in a One-Stop-Shop arrangement to facilitate the requirements of companies based in the IDZs.

An inclusive stakeholder management approach can be developed to
increase accountability and ownership for thelDZ programme.

Mr E W Trent (DA) to ask the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Development:

(1) Whether, the unrestricted access to the application system of the Guardian’s Fund by super-users of the Government Finance System (GFS) referred to by the Auditor-General in the 2007 audit report has (a) been investigated and/or (b) corrected; if not, why not; if so, what (i) corrective action has been taken and (ii) are the further relevant details;

(2) whether any fraud or corruption was detected; if so, what (a) are the relevant details and (b) action was taken?

NW1629E

REPLY

1) The application system in question is actually the Guardian’s Fund System (GFS) and not the Government Finance System. The unrestricted access to the application system by super-users was in line with the profile rights set up for this class of users. The rights were to enable a more effective deployment of the system by empowering system champions at local sites. The utilisation of these rights was subsequently investigatedand nocases of abuse were detected.

A proposal to suspend the local super-user status was accepted and has been implemented. All system changes previously done by local super-users will now be done centrally at head-office. Further to the above measure, a comprehensive audit trail report on all system activity has been implemented.

(2) No fraud emanating from the Super user class was detected.

QUESTION 941

Mr C M Lowe (DA) to ask the Minister for Public Enterprises:

Whether the Government intends taking over Eskom’s Demand Side Management (DSM) programme and its associated costs; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW1631E

Reply:

There are currently no plans in place for Government to take over Eskom’s Demand Side Management (DSM) programme. The funding of the accelerated part of the DSM plan has, however been declined for 2008/9 by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) and will have to be provided for by the fiscus. The current focus is on the delivery of DSM programmes on a national scale to provide much needed relief in light of the current tight electricity supply/demand situation.

The Eskom DSM programme is being implemented in close co-operation with the National Energy Efficiency Agency (NEEA) established under the auspices of the Department of Minerals and Energy and the National Electricity Response Team (NERT) which includes a wide range of stakeholders. The structure and location of DSM will undoubtedly be the subject of much debate into the future and, should it prove optimal, government may consider relocating the Eskom DSM programme and its associated costs and funding to another, more suitable entity in time.

Question 942

Mr C M Lowe (DA) to ask the Minister for Public Enterprises:

Whether privatising of any state owned enterprises is currently being considered; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW1632E

Reply:

No. Privatisation of State Owned Enterprises (SOE) is not being considered. Government has committed itself to restructuring of SOE as a means to improve efficiencies. As a component of such restructuring, certain non-core business units and assets of the SOE are being disposed of in order for the SOE to re-focus to their core business activities. In other cases, some SOE are entering into partnerships with the private sector to gain access to technology, skills and global markets.

With regard to property, SOE have undertaken an assessment of property required for current and future core operations (e.g. provision of electricity, freight movement). Such property required for core business will not be sold. The SOE will be responsible for the disposals of properties identified as non core. In recognition of the role the property disposals can play in helping to transform the property sector the Department of Public Enterprises has developed a set of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Guidelines to guide the SOE sales process. The Guidelines are aligned to the Department of Trade and Industry’s gazetted Codes of Good Practice for B-BBEE. In addition, DPE has developed a Toolkit for B-BBEE Self Assessment to assist enterprises in measuring compliance with the Codes of Good Practice.

NW1637E

The Minister replied:

1. The Client Satisfaction Survey conducted in September 2007 shows that the overall service delivery of the services rendered to beneficiaries of UYF is satisfactory. Of the sample done:

· 63% of people say the UYF products and services processes was explained clearly to them

· 86% know where the UYF nearest office to them is located

· 45% always read information published about UYF

· 75% are fairly satisfied with products the UYF is offering and are happy from the service they received from UYF Representatives

· 73% of them have called the UYF Call Centre and were happy with the service received.

Having adopted the route of being ISO 9001:2000 certified, UYF has had to further develop customer satisfaction processes and continual improvement. The data collected and analysis of these customer surveys is audited by DEKRA (a German certifying body for ISO). These surveys are ongoing and are currently being conducted at all UYF branches. The analysis of surveys is done quarterly and communicated to key stakeholders.

2. UYF was ISO 9001:2000 certified in 2006 and has retained their certification status. Their operations are driven by effective business processes and systems. Quality audits are conducted regularly to ensure that they implement according to the standards set and corrective actions are implemented as identified. Through this the processes are evaluated for effectiveness then improvement and/or corrective actions are effected to the processes. The quality management system implemented by UYF looks at the organisation holistically ensuring that there is effective and efficient use of all resources and that the output from the processes matches the input.

As part of its strategy to complement its allocated resources, the Fund has leveraged additional funds from both private and public sector. Entrepreneurship Finance continues to be self sustainable and continue to operate at a profit since its inception.

Economical use of resources:

This is what R1, 4 billion of tax payers money has bought since 2001:

(i) Trained over 240 000 youth including: 74 000 youth participating in the National Youth Service Programme to engage in community service and thereby acquire skills;

(ii) Over 15,000 youth trained in scarce skills including with 28 FET Colleges which received capacity building support;

(iii) 129 000 youth trained in various Entrepreneurship Education programmes including 62 000 learners in schools;

(iv) Supported over 214 000 youth entrepreneurs including committing over R647 million for Enterprise Finance (loans & investments) and Business Development Support Services valued at R235 million through the Voucher Programme;

(v) Leveraged approximately R2 billion from the Private Sector (including R220 million from First National Bank, R100 million from Old Mutual, R25 million from Business Partners and from the Public Sector including the Expanded Public Works Programme and various SETAs);

(vi) Created a network of 121 Youth Advisory Centres accessed by over 1, 6 million youth;

(vii) The first and only development funding institution in South Africa to receive ISO 9001:2000 certification confirming the Fund’s status as the World's leading Youth Development Institution; and

(viii) Over 100 000 jobs created and or sustained. If each of these beneficiaries contributes R12,000 per annum in tax (through Pay as You Earn or VAT), over 5 years they have contributed R4.3 billion to the economy.

3(a) Small, Medium and Micro Enterprise Finance Projects: For the period approximately 7 300 loan applications have been received of which 432 have been approved;

· Micro Enterprise Finance : For the period approximately 140,000 loan applications have been received of which 49,669 have been approved;

QUESTION NO: 947

MR M R J SELF (DA) TO ASK THE MINISTER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES

(1) Whether the four persons appointed to represent the public as contemplated in section 83(2) (h) of the Correctional Services Act, Act 111 of 1998, serve on the National Council for Correctional Services; if not (a) why not and (b) when will such person be appointed; or if so (i) who are they and (ii) when were they appointed;

(2) Whether prior to the appointment of such person consultation took place with the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services; if not why not; if so when in respect of each such appointment. NW1638E

Answer:

(1). When the current NCCS members were appointed on 1 March 2005, the following appointments were made in relation to each clause of the Act:

(a). two judges of the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa or of the High Court of South Africa appointed after consultation with the Chief Justice - Judge Desai And Judge Khampepe was appointed

(b) a magistrate of a regional division appointed after consultation with the chairperson of the Magistrates Commission; Ms Mpofu was appointed

(c) a director or Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions appointed after consultation with the National Director of Public Prosecutions; Adv Batohi was appointed

(d) two members of the Department, of or above the rank of director, appointed after consultation with the Commissioner; Ms Schreiner and Ms Sishuba were appointed, Ms Sishuba was subsequently replaced by Mr Motseki

(e) a member of the South African Police Service, of or above the rank of director, appointed after consultation with the National Commissioner of the South African Police Service; Commissioner Moonoo was appointed

(f) a member of the Department of Welfare, of or above the rank of director, appointed after consultation with the Director-General of Welfare; Ms Mabetoa was appointed, subsequently replaced by Ms Nxumalo

(g) two persons with special knowledge of the correctional system who are not in full-time service of the State; and Prof Cilliers and Prof Van Der Merwe were appointed

(h) four or more persons not in the full-time service of the State or members of Parliament appointed as representatives of the public after consultation with the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services. Mr Giffard, Ms Solomons, Adv India, Ms Ngobeni, Adv Silas Nkanunu, and Prof Sodi

In hindsight, the appointments of the last category of members were not made after consultation with the Portfolio Committee as required by the Act. This matter was raised with the NCCS Chairperson in August 2005. The inadvertent error was acknowledged to the Portfolio Committee when the NCCS Chairperson met with the Portfolio Committee in August 2005. The Chairperson of the National Council indicated that to correct this error, the Portfolio Committee should nominate additional people to further represent the interests of the public on the NCCS. Neither the NCCS nor the Minister has received such nominations. Since the term of office of the NCCS is a five year term, it is still hoped that the names would be forthcoming.

Mr G R Morgan (DA) to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism:

(1) How much (a) ivory had been stockpiled up to 1995 and (b) ivory has South Africa been permitted to sell since 1995, (c) of the amount of ivory sold since 1995 up to the latest specified date for which information is available has been sold (i) locally and (ii) for non-commercial purposes and (d) ivory has been confiscated from (i) poachers, (ii) dealers and (iii) any other illegal source since 1995 up to the latest specified date for which information is available;

(2) whether measures are taken to ensure that confiscated ivory is prevented from being included in the legally recovered stockpile; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW1642E

MR G R MORGAN (DA) SECRETARY TO PARLIAMENT

HANSARD

PAPERS OFFICE

PRESS

950. THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS AND TOURISM ANSWERS:

(1) (a) The Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism did not keep record of ivory stockpiles for South Africa before the new political dispensation in 1994 as it only had to deal with four provinces and information on stockpiles kept up to 1995 is thus not available. The four old provinces kept records of ivory stockpiles in hand written ivory registers. Some of these have been computerised.

(b) Provincial conservation authorities with ivory stockpiles and the South African National Parks (SANParks) sell ivory in accordance with their Provincial Ordinances and the Protected Areas Act and no record is kept of these sales at national level. Ivory can be traded within South Africa for commercial or non commercial purposes.

(c) Data kept by provincial conservation authorities and SANParks on confiscated ivory does not necessarily differentiate between ivory confiscated from poachers, dealers or any other illegal source although origin could be found in SAPS charge sheets or in seizure documents it is not stored as such in their databases. Confiscated stocks of ivory totaled 68 256.10 in 2000. Since then the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has appointed the Trade Record Analysis For Fauna and Flora in Commerce (TRAFFIC) to keep a database of the Elephant Trade Information System (ETIS) which Parties to CITES use to report incidences of illegal trade in ivory. The latest statistics on confiscated ivory is available in the documents to the Fourteenth Meeting of the Conference of Parties to CITES on the CITES website at www.cites.org.

(2) South Africa has measures in place to ensure that confiscated ivory is prevented from being included in a legally recovered stockpile. Every piece of ivory including finished products that have been obtained illegally or that have been imported or exported without the relevant documents and which have been confiscated will be documented as such. Should anybody be charged for any illegal activity involving ivory, the confiscated item will be booked into the South African Police Service’s (SAPS) evidence register and a number will be allocated to the item (this is done in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977). The seized ivory will be kept separately from legally obtained ivory and should the suspect be found guilty in a court of law, the item should be forfeited to the State.

Every legally obtained tusk or piece of ivory that are both 20cm and more in length and one kilogram in weight is marked according to the rules of CITES and will have a paper trail of its origin. If ivory has been confiscated or poached and retrieved, the paper trail will indicate that it has been obtained illegally.

Internal question paper no:

Dr. R Rabinowitz (IFP) to ask the Minister of Social Development:

(1) Whether he will ensure that his department and all entities or councils reporting to him (a) monitors and (b) reduces its carbon footprint with immediate effect; if so, how will this be done;

(2) Whether this will include the phasing out of glossy publications from all agencies or councils reporting to him; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details;

REPLY:

(1) DSD supports government initiatives to actively start to monitor and reduce its carbon footprint with immediate effect. This should be done amongst others as follows:

· Changing the procurement policy of government to only allow for the procurement energy efficient equipment – e.g. printers, copiers, computers, etc.

· Have the IT section reviewed – it has been proven internationally that only 5% of the capacity of servers is used at any one time. Air conditioning in server rooms can be done more efficiently.

· Implementation of a paperless work environment – where only final documents will be printed, scanned and filed electronically.

· Actively replacing electric geysers with solar water heaters where possible.

· For backup systems during power failures solar energy with batteries and uninterruptible power supplies should be looked at for essential equipment like computers only.

· Government should introduce carbon trading schemes to part fund projects where new technology must be procured. Private Public Partnerships could also be used in this regard.

QUESTION 910

DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 6 JUNE 2008: INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 16-2008

“910. Mrs D van der Walt (DA) to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture:

(a) What are the (i) fields of expertise and (ii) qualifications of each of the persons he announced as members of the SA Geographical Names Council on 29 May 2008, (b) what are the reasons for the late appointment of the Council, (c) what is the exact task of the special social cohesion campaign this Council will be undertaking on a national level and (d) when will this campaign start in each province?”

NW1600E

REPLY:

(a) (i) In terms of the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC) Act of 1998 (Act No. 118 of 1998) and regulations for the establishment of the (SAGNC) the Council is made up of nine members appointed through public nomination process, nine provincial representatives, one South African Post Office representative, one Chief Directorate: Surveys and Mapping representative and one Pan South African Language Board representative. All of the individuals appointed as members of the SAGNC are competent in (one or more of listed fields) linguistics, cultural history, heritage, cartography, tourism and standardization of geographical names.

(a)(ii) The information at my disposal was sourced from the affected individuals solely for the purposes of the establishment and appointment of the South African Geographical Names Council. Members of the public and the media during the announcement of the SAGNC (which took place on the 30 May 2008 not 29 May 2008) were offered the opportunity to interact with members of the SAGNC. It will be unethical of me to divulge personal information on individual members without their permission. Suffice it so say that members have expertise as listed in part (a)(i)

(b) When the process was due to conclude, I received a delegation from Solidariteit and others claiming to speak for the Afrikaans-speaking white community. They complained that they had not been able to make nominations. To ensure that no section of our society felt excluded, I re-opened the nominations so as to allow Afrikaans-speaking Whites to make nominations on 13th July 2007.

(d) The Department and respective provinces are still finalizing logistics and the dates from July 2008 to November 2008. Once the dates are finalized the public will be notified through print and electronic media.
