DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: FRIDAY, 09 MAY 2008 (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 12 – 2008)
Mr S B Farrow (DA) asked the Minister of Transport:

(1) Whether his department can provide an organogram of the (a) national road network and (b) provincial road network for each of the past ten years; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;

(2) whether the (a) national road network and (b) provincial road network have increased over the past ten years; if not, why not; if so, by how many kilometers have these networks increased?

NW1348E


REPLY:
The Minister of Transport:
(1) No, the Department of Transport is unable to provide an organogram of the (a) national road network and (b) provincial road network for each of the past 10 years. However, the Department can provide maps to show the change in the extend of the road network over the last 10 years, as follows:-
SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL ROADS AGENCY LIMITED (SANRAL)
(1) (a)

For the National Road Network under the jurisdiction of the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) the change in the extend of the road network over the last 10 years is shown in following two figures:-

2(b)



PROVINCES
(1) (b)
Unfortunately the process of obtaining the required maps from the nine Provinces is taking considerably longer than anticipated. In order, therefore, not to delay the submission of the reply to Question No 658, the maps in respect of the Provinces will be submitted to the Honourable Member under cover of a separate communication in due course.
SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL ROADS AGENCY LIMITED (SANRAL)
(2) (a)
Yes, the national road network has increased over the last 10 years from 7,200 km in 1998 to 16,134 km in 2008. This increase is mostly due to existing provincial roads being incorporated under SANRAL jurisdiction as part of the envisaged 20,000 km strategic network to fall under SANRAL.
(b) Not applicable.
PROVINCES
(2) (a) Not applicable.

(b)
Western Cape

The provincial road network has not increased over the past ten years. The basic network is fairly complete and the Province is in a process of upgrading existing roads. The network has expanded by some kilometres, but the increase has been off-set by two major reductions to the network, i.e.:-

• 
  Large portions of the N2 and N7 routes were transferred to SANRAL; and
  
• 
  when the minor road network was logged and captured into the system, it was established that many kilometres of these roads actually did not exist and the minor road network was over estimated in the past.
  

Limpopo
The provincial road network has not increased over the past ten years. The provincial network has decreased from 23 081km in 2006, to 22 061km in 2008, due to the following reasons:-

• 
  Changes in boundaries between the Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces; and
  
• 
  1 483km of road was transferred to SANRAL.
  

Mpumalanga
The provincial road network has not increased over the past ten years. The provincial network has decreased from 15 885 km in 2000, to 14 045 km in 2008, due to the following reasons:-

• 
  Changes in provincial boundaries resulted in a net loss of 372km; and
  
• 
  transfer of roads to SANRAL.
  

North West
The provincial road network has not increased over the past ten years. The provincial network has decreased from 4 895,79 km in 1998, to 4 717,59 km in 2008, due to the following reasons:-

• 
  Changes in provincial boundaries; and
  
• 
  transfer of roads to SANRAL.
  

Gauteng

The provincial road network has not increased over the past ten years. The provincial network has decreased from 23 729 km in 2001, to 21 451 km in 2007, due to the following reasons:-

• 
  Roads transferred to SANRAL;
  
• 
  roads transferred to municipalities; and
  
• 
  roads transferred to other Provinces and roads transferred to other Provinces during process of eliminating cross border municipalities.
  

Eastern Cape

The provincial road network has increased from 43 465 km to 47 816 km due to the following reasons:-

• 
  Lack of accuracy in the information that was skimmed out of the documents of the former Ciskei and Transkei administrations. A process to verify the numbers concluded that access roads were excluded.
  

Free State

The provincial road network has not increased over the past ten years. The provincial network has decreased from 50 394,76 km to 49 493 km due to the following reasons:-

• 
  The road network declined by 901 km when the N5, N6, N8, R30 and R34 were transferred to SANRAL.
  

Northern Cape
The provincial road network has not increased over the past ten years. The provincial network has decreased from 27 159 km to 25 935 km due to the following reasons:-

• 
  During 2005, the Provincial Executive Council ceded 2 500 km to SANRAL. These routes are the N12, N7, N10, N14, N8, R27 and the one (1 km) to all the border posts; and
  
• 
  after the finalisation of the Kgalagadi Cross-Border, the Province inherited 122 km of paved roads and 1 154 km of gravel roads from the North West Province.
  

KwaZulu-Natal
The provincial road network has increased from 22 863 km to 42 025 km due to the following reasons:-

• 
  Ex-KwaZulu-Natal Government roads were added to the provincial network in 2003;
  
• 
  the KZN Department of Transport (DoT)reviewed the road system in 2004 and established that the network was actually much greater than previously recorded;
  
• 
  the Department of Agriculture transferred over 5 500 km of roads to the KZN DoT; and
  
• 
  due to border demarcations, the roads in the Umzimkhulu area were transferred to the KZN DoT.
  

QUESTION NUMBER 659

DATE OF PUBLICATION: 9 MAY 2008
Dr D T George (DA) to ask the Minister of Finance:
(1) In respect of the Office of the Pensions Funds Adjudicator, (a) how many complaints were outstanding for adjudication as at 31 December 2006, (b) how many complaints were received between January 2007 and March 2008, (c) how many complaints were outstanding for adjudication as at 31 March 2008 and (d) how many complaints have been outstanding for more than, (i) one month, (ii) three months, (iii) six months and (iv) 12 months;

(2) In respect of the closure of the Cape Town office of the Pension Funds Adjudicator, (a) what was the reason for the office closure, (b) what is the date of closure and (c) (i) what is the current number of adjudicators in Cape Town and (ii) what number of adjudicators will re-locate to the Johannesburg office? N1350E

REPLY:

(1)(a) According to information submitted by the Pensions Funds Adjudicator, 4 153 complaints were outstanding for adjudication as at 31 December 2006.

(b) The total number of complaints received from 1 January 2007 to 31 March 2008 were 11 475 according to the Pensions Fund Adjudicator. The number of matters finalised for that period are 5 026.

(c) As at 31 March 2008, there were 10 602 complaints outstanding according to the Pensions Funds Adjudicator.

(d) (i) to (iv)

It is not possible, without conducting an extensive manual exercise, to provide a classification of complaints in this manner as the Pension Funds Adjudicator’ s electronic systems are not geared to provide the required information. System improvements are currently being designed by the office of the Adjudicator that can enable a more comprehensive tracking of complaints in the future.

It should also be noted that many complaints are referred back to complainants since the Adjudicator may require additional information or documentation. Such complaints may be considered as “outstanding”, but are in fact not in the control of the Adjudicator’s office.

(2)(a) The decision to close the Cape Town office and have one centralised office in Johannesburg was taken four years ago in consultation with the Pensions Funds Adjudicator sub-committee of the Financial Services Board. The decision was primarily based on two reasons: (1) Gauteng was the province from where the majority of pension related complaints emanated; and (2) duplicating the Adjudicator’s office in two centres increased cost unnecessarily as the functions of the Adjudicator could be performed by a centralised office.

(b) A public announcement will be made when the Cape Town office is due to close.
(c) (i) In terms of the Pensions Funds Act, No 24 of 1956 there is only one Adjudicator of Pension Funds. The Adjudicator is assisted by seven senior case managers and twelve assistant case managers. In total, Adjudicator is assisted by nineteen professional staff members, seven of whom are based in Cape Town.
(ii) The Adjudicator of the Cape Town has advised that the number of staff that will relocate to the Johannesburg office is not known at this stage. Relocation of members based in the Cape Town office will be negotiated with affected parties when the need arises. However, it is important to emphasise that all members of staff in the Cape Town office are to be offered employment on the same terms and conditions in the Johannesburg office.

SUMMARY
(1 and 2) The South African Council for Educators (SACE) reports that for the period 2005 to 2007 there were twenty cases involving unprofessional conduct towards learners. Sixteen cases related to unprofessional sexual conduct towards learners, and all were found guilty and dismissed. In four cases the educators were found guilty of assault, and two were dismissed while the other two were fined and continue to be in the employ of their respective provincial education department. SACE is still consolidating statistics for the first quarter of 2008. The names of educators cannot be disclosed, as decisions on some of these cases are challenged through judicial processes.
