We are happy to present our fourth Annual Report to the citizens of Gauteng on the performance of the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural development including Environment, for the 2012/13 financial year. Once again, we have made significant strides towards fulfilling our mandate and vision of building “Vibrant, equitable & sustainable rural and urban communities that contribute to food security for all, protected and enhanced environmental assets and natural resources”.

Working together with and support of co-operatives, smallholder and commercial farmers with Extension Advisory services and Letsema/ Ilima production inputs such as implements, seeds, tractors, we have observed increased productivity, better yields and better income for our farmers, especially within our Maize Triangle. Our facilitation of access to finance and markets is also yielding economic livelihoods. In total 182 received assistance in this regard.

Implementation of key on-farm infrastructure to farmers in the province assisted in unlocking other farm activities thereby rendering the farms productive. Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services, Comprehensive Agricultural Support Program, Farmer Extension Program, Support to Land and Agrarian Reform is beginning to contribute to sustainable agrarian reform and a thriving

agricultural economy and food security. In total, 734 farmers were assisted in this regard.

Empowerment of farmers through skills development and knowledge transfer remains the key fundamental factor of farmers’ development. During the year in question and in an effort to address the set departmental outcome, a total of 185 smallholder farmers were trained on horticulture production, soil preparations, farm management, and book keeping, as well as piggery production. The training was conducted by the Agricultural Research Council (ARC).

Our Veterinary Service’s proactive vaccination of animals against diseases such as rabies, brucellosis and African swine fever has helped us to not only curb the outbreak and spread of animal diseases but has also saved jobs in our abattoirs and averted meat price hikes. A total of 162 224 animals were vaccinated.

Our support of citizens involved in household, community and school food gardens with starter pack garden implements is contributing towards improved access to affordable and diverse food and is reducing poverty, hunger and unemployment in Gauteng. A total of 11129 food gardens were established.

7. FOREWORD BY THE MEC2012/13 Annual Report Foreword by the MEC

Our work on Rehabilitation of priority Wetlands, Working for Water, Working for Fire, Water use efficiency contributes to our scarce water resources protection. The ongoing implementation of our climate change strategy, our involvement at the COP 18 held in Qatar in December 2012 and our monitoring of our air quality stations network contributes to reduced air pollution, and green-house gas emissions. Our Land Care projects implemented with our learners, youth support for local government’s waste management programs including recycling, reducing and re-using programs, removal of alien vegetation and our BKB and Clean and Green campaigns, continue to contribute to sustainable environment. A total of more than 600 jobs were created through the EPWP for our young unemployed people.

Our State of the Environment Report revealed that our environment is under stress. We therefore appeal to our citizens to work with us in its protection. We also appeal to our residents to participate in the management of Gauteng’s Nature reserves and protect environmentally sensitive areas through EIA’s. We protected high potential agricultural land by not approving EIAs for development in these areas.

In conclusion, all the work done by the department including EPWP, CWP, NARYSEC and Preferential Procurement, contribute to skills development and job creation for the unemployed including women, youth and people with disabilities, and economically empowers them.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Team GDARD including the MEC’s staff, all led by the HOD, Ms Simangele Sekgobela, for their good performance and commitment towards excellence. We also appreciate the support and guidance received from the Executive Council led by the Premier, the Legislature led by the Speaker, the Portfolio Committees that oversee our work, the MMCs’ and officials from local government, all our Sector Partners, role players and stakeholders.

I Thank you.

18I am pleased to write this Executive Summary for the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Annual Report for the 2012/13 financial year. The report outlines significant services that were rendered to the citizens of Gauteng in the financial year and challenges faced by the Department.

The Department made extensive progress on its commitments in the financial year with a spending of 99.7% of the appropriated budget. The Department achieved 83% of the targets set for the 2012/13 financial year.

The actual expenditure for the 2012/13 financial year was R515,888,000 of the adjusted budget of R517,659,000 representing an expenditure of 99.67. The under spending was a result of transfer payments that had to be paid under Goods and Services instead of under Transfers and Subsidies.

As previously indicated, the Department achieved 83% of the targets set for the financial year. The following specific achievements are worthy of note: the Flagship Maize Triangle Revitalisation project showed real gains with 4416 hectares of maize planted in Sedibeng, Tshwane and the West Rand. Since the inception of the

Maize Triangle, 603 temporary jobs have been created. Gauteng Veterinary Services continued to offer high level veterinary services for the Gauteng public as evidenced by the extension of the ISO 17020 SANAS accreditation for the 2012/13 year and the very high levels of customer satisfaction of all surveyed clients. GDARD supported projects won five national awards at the National LandCare Conference which took place in October 2012. Three successful Agricultural Expos were hosted in the year under report. These Expos were attended by 1080 farmers. A consultation and public participation process was undertaken for the draft Gauteng Nature Conservation Bill which was drafted in-house in 2011/12 financial year. Other achievements not mentioned here can be found under the Accounting Officer’s report and in the Performance Information section.

The Accounting Officer’s Report elaborates on the Department’s finances and management-related issues including governance. The audit opinions for the Department’s finances and for the cost recovery account are unqualified.

We continue to improve working relations with our stakeholders, including labour, farmers, farmers’ unions and business. The various projects we have collaborated

on with our partners (within and outside government) have assisted in further strengthening these partnerships.

In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to MEC Nandi Mayathula-Khoza for her leadership and contributions made to the Department during the financial year. The Department’s senior management and staff of GDARD - a professional team of highly dedicated individuals - remain committed to ensuring excellent service delivery to the peoples of Gauteng.

1. STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Statement of Responsibility for Performance Information for the year ended 31 March 2013

The Accounting Officer is responsible for the preparation of the Department’s performance information and for the judgements made in this information.

The Accounting 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 performance information of the Department for the financial year ended 31 March 2013.

3.1 Service delivery environmentThe 2012/13 Annual Performance Plan (APP) of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD) continues to be informed by the department’s Five Year Strategy as contained in the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2009/14. The introduction of the Outcomes Based Approach to planning in 2010 has resulted in the amendment of the 2009/14 Strategic Plan. The Annual performance of GDARD is thus guided by the 2010/14 Strategic Plan that is linked to the mandate period of the current administration with particular emphasis on:

a) An outcome based performance approach to planning and monitoring based on eight identified provincials Outcomes that derived from and are aligned to national Outcomes and;

b) Agriculture, food security, protecting the environment, rural development and service delivery.

In 2010, the new provincial administration, in line with national government, introduced the eight priority areas of delivery which the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD) is responsible to implement:

• Outcome 5a: Vibrant, equitable and sustainable and rural communities and food security for all

• Outcome 5b: Protected and enhanced environmental assets and natural resources

• Outcome 8: An efficient, effective and development oriented public service and empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship.

Other than the changes in focus as per the new Outcomes based approach the external and internal environment of performance by GDARD remains unchanged.

3.2 Service Delivery Improvement PlanThe Department has completed a service delivery improvement plan. The tables below highlights the service delivery plan and the achievements to date.

3.3 Organisational environment The Department continued to deliver on its strategic plan and annual performance plan. The successes and challenges of the Department are highlighted in the Accounting Officer’s overview. The Department has made significant progress towards the achievements of the 5 year targets. The Department implemented strategies that have been approved and successfully spent 99.7% of its appropriated budget.

3.4 Key policy developments and legislative

changesThe following key policy developments and legislative changes will require GDARD to develop an adequate institutional structure/body/organisation/agency with appropriately designed support systems to meet requirements:

1. Administration of Protected Areas

In February 2012, the Minister for Environmental and Water Affairs published Protected Area Regulations that all provinces are required to adhere to. National Government requires all Protected Areas to operate according to the National Norms and Standards, Protected Area Regulations for the ‘proper administration of a protected area’.

2. Expansion of the Conservation Estate

Based on the International Convention of Biological Diversity Treaty, to which South Africa is a Signatory, the National Department of Environmental Affairs developed the National Protected Areas Expansion Strategy. All provinces were expected to develop a provincial expansion strategy. GDARD has developed the strategy which is due for finalization in 2013/14, where after GDARD will be expected to resource and implement the strategy.

4. STRATEGIC OUTCOME ORIENTED GOALS

Outcome 7: Vibrant, equitable and sustainable and rural communities and food security for all

Outcome 10: Protected and enhanced environmental assets and natural resources

5. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION BY PROGRAMME

5.1 PROGRAMME 1: ADMINISTRATIONPurposeTo provide leadership, management, efficient and effective financial management, human resource management and development, facilities management services, professional legal services and enforcement services, communication and awareness as well as knowledge and project management services to the department in response to Outcome 8 (An efficient, effective and development oriented public service and empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship); through the following strategic objectives, in line with the 5 Year Strategic Plan of the Department.

Sub-programmes1. Senior Management

2. Office of the MEC

3. Financial Management

4. Corporate Services

Strategic objectives/Outputs (as per the 2010/14 Strategic Plan)

Output 1: Service delivery quality and access

Output 2: Human resource management and development

Output 3.1: Efficient and effective governance

Output 3.2: Business process, systems, decision rights and accountability

Output 8: Promotion of active and responsible citizenship


34

Strategic objectives, performance indicators planned targets and actual achievements

Strategic objectives

Legal ServicesLegal Services provides an integrated corporate legal service and litigation management support towards the achievement of the Department’s objectives. It ensures that the Department is protected from legal risks by offering legal advisory service to various branches within the Department; vetting legal documents and appeals administration to ensure legal defensibility and compliance with the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act and the Promotion of Access to Information Act; commenting on draft legislations and regulations that have a direct or indirect impact on the operations of the Department; and management of cases instituted by or against the Department.

The Branch achieved most of its targets for the financial year and in some instances exceeded these. Some main achievements are as follows:

• A consultation and public participation process for the draft Gauteng Nature Conservation Bill was undertaken in the 2012/13 financial year and the draft Bill is currently with the State Law Advisers for pre-certification in line with the target set for the financial year.

• Proactive administration of litigated matters resulted in fewer litigious matters against the Department and wasteful litigation costs were avoided.

Financial Management The Finance Branch ensures efficient, effective and transparent financial management to the department, in line with the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA, 1999 as amended) and other applicable laws and regulations. The branch’s strategic objectives are to ensure sound Financial Management, Financial Accounting and Supply Chain Management support as well as Risk Management and Fraud Prevention.

During the course of the financial year, the Branch improved on paying invoices within 30 days, clearing the suspense account, reducing debtors, and the overall quality of financial management. Risk assessment and

fraud prevention interventions were addressed timeously during the year under review and mitigating controls to reduce the impact thereof were implemented.

The partnership with the Gauteng Audit Section (GAS) was maintained and greater co-operation between the Department and GAS was achieved. This resulted in audits being executed as planned for the financial year. Internal Audit findings were included in the Risk Register and recommendations by GAS implemented and controls generally were strengthened.

A major change during 2012/13 was the migration of procurement functions from the Gauteng Department of Finance (GDF) to the Department. In the past, the Department depended entirely on GDF for the invitation of quotations as well as the appointment of service providers. The migration rendered the Department responsible for the entire procurement process. Four officials joined GDARD from GDF as part of the migration process. As a result, the Finance Branch was able to create Purchase Orders on SAP. To enable the Finance Branch to undertake the procurement responsibilities, a service provider was appointed by GDF to reconfigure SAP.

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) resigned, leaving the post vacant in October 2012. Processes are in place to appoint a new CFO.

Support ServicesThe purpose of Support Services is to provide an enabling environment in the areas of Facilities Management, Human Resource Management and Development. The strategic goals of the branch are to ensure a sound human resource management and development support service for GDARD employees and to provide support for an efficient, effective and development oriented Public Service and an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship. This is done by maintaining appropriate skilled and knowledgeable human capacity and suitable and safe physical structures and equipment for the many officials who work to deliver on GDARD’s mandate.

Transformation BranchThe strategic objectives of the Transformation Branch are to promote and facilitate transformation in internal and external departmental programmes by ensuring that these are underpinned by transformation fundamentals


35

and contribute to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE).

The following priority areas drive sustainable transformation of the Department, and the agriculture and rural development sectors:

• Mainstreaming of designated groups (women, youth, black people and people with disabilities);

• Facilitating and promoting development of black enterprises, in particular Small Medium and Micro Enterprises, and transforming the provincial agriculture sector by implementing the AgriBEE Charter, and code of good practice;

• Enhancing social development and empowerment programmes such as HIV and AIDS and employee health and wellness;

• Capacity and awareness building to improve social cohesion and build vibrant sustainable communities; and,

• Targeting designated groups for projects and programmes.

During the year under review, a total of 200 WARD members from the 6 districts attended the GDARD’s Women’s Dialogue with the MEC Nandi Mayathula-Khoza held at Gold Reef City on 20 August 2012. The purpose of the event was to map a way-forward on developmental programmes for women who are stakeholders in GDARD.

As part of capacity building, a presentation by GIBS was attended by 14 WARD PEC members, and 8 WARD members joined the six-month long GIBS course on Agriculture for Women.

More than 50 Girl Learners from Sizwile School for the Deaf were hosted during the Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day. The 16 Days of No Violence Against Women and Children Campaigns were held in Carletonville, Tembisa, Roodeplaat, Foschville and Diepsloot to create awareness on gender based violence, children abuse and promotion of women rights.

GDARD also achieved preferential procurement targets in the following categories in Women (40.45%), exceeding the 30% target; and, Youth (15.97%), exceeding the 10% target. Representation of women in GDARD Senior

Management is 47% departmental overall; black people comprise 86% of the entire GDARD staff complement.

Knowledge Management The Knowledge Management branch ensures continuous availability of efficient spatial and non-spatial information systems for sustainable agriculture, rural development, use of natural resources and compliance and enforcement in GDARD.

The branch’s main achievements during the period under review include:

• Continuity of IT systems was maintained by establishing wireless networks at Diamond Corner, the Head Office, after the evacuation of the Glencairn Head Office building during a health and safety emergency. Additional IT connectivity was provided to both Diamond Corner head office and regional offices to ensure that re-located officials continued to have access to IT systems.

• Improved stability of the ICT Infrastructure, Information Systems and IT network as evidenced by the reduced annual total number of service requests, from 5,423 in 2011-2012 to 4,384 in 2012-2013.

• In compliance with the IT Governance requirements of the Auditor General, a GDARD IT Governance Framework, aligned to the national IT Governance Policy Framework; a comprehensive GDARD IT Security Policy; and, a new GDARD IT Strategic plan were approved.

• The IT Server Infrastructure of the department was upgraded and capacity was increased by implementing modern Virtual Server technology.

• The critical vacant post of Director IS&IT and five other posts were filled, thereby reducing the vacancy rate for the branch to 10%.


36

Communications The Communication Branch ensures an increased perception of institutional ownership in the Gauteng citizenship through a programme of outreach, education, capacity building, information sharing campaigns and key messages conveyed through appropriate channels and languages.

The main achievements for the branch in the period under review have been the successful management of a number of GDARD events, including the Agri business woman of the Year in August, and the coordination of the province-wide Clean and Green and Bontle ke Botho campaigns that focus on cleaning, greening and developing and nurturing best environmental practice throughout the year. The Branch also maintained its programme of stakeholder engagement, media monitoring and media liaison.

5.2 PROGRAMME 2: Agriculture and Rural

DevelopmentPurpose:The programme aims to optimise the contribution of sustainable agriculture to the equitable development of all communities in the province, by enhancing food security, income, employment and the quality of life; and to control and manage health risks of animal origin by ensuring healthy livestock production and the availability and affordability of healthy high quality food and animal products, thus stimulating economic growth and contributing to poverty alleviation and international trade. It responds to the provincial Outcome 5a: Vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural communities and food security for all.

Sub-programmes1. Farmer Support and Development

2. Research and Technology and Development Services

3. Agricultural Economics Services

4. Sustainable Resource Management

5. Veterinary Services

6. Rural Development Coordination

Strategic objectives/Outputs (as per the 2010/14 Strategic Plan)

Output 1: Sustainable Agrarian Reform with a Thriving Small and Large Farming Sector

Output 2: Improved access to affordable, safe and diverse food

Output 3: To improve rural services in order to support improve the livelihoods

Output 4: To ensure improved employment opportunities and economic Livelihoods

Output 5: Enabling institutional environment for sustainable and inclusive growth

Strategic objectives, performance indicators planned targets and actual achievements

Strategic objectivesAgriculture Agriculture Branch made major inroads in meeting provincial priorities during the financial year in spite of a lack of service providers within the province which could meet technical requirements.

A very successful roll-out of the National Extension Recovery Plan not only ensured quality continuing training and education of extension officers but equipped them with cutting edge tools to the benefit of the farmers they serve. GDARD extension officers assisted 1436 farmers and 42 co-operatives with high quality technical advice, and 789 farmers were assisted with production inputs and 489 were provided with vital infrastructure. In addition, 120 cooperatives were supplied with inputs and infrastructure, including fencing, hydroponics structures, vegetable pack-houses, and poultry houses.

The Department improved the nutritional status of many food insecure people in Gauteng by establishing 38 372 homestead food gardens, 240 community food gardens with 3030 project participants, and 490 school food gardens during the financial year.

Departmental Economists and Technical Specialists helped farmers and co-operatives with market access, specialised technical advice, and new technologies transferred. These included twenty-two agricultural co-operatives assisted to secure government contracts for the supply of vegetables and eggs to public institutions over a period of three years. Vital applicable research was commissioned by the Department and the results practically transferred to farmers. The Flagship Maize Triangle Revitalisation project showed real gains with 4416 hectares of maize planted in Sedibeng, Tshwane and the West Rand. Since the inception of the Maize Triangle, 603 temporary jobs have been created.

The Research and Technology Services (RTDS) Directorate, as part of the Gauteng Biotech Strategy, funded a total of 50 biotechnology bursaries and 17 internships at the University of Johannesburg, Wits University, University of Pretoria, Tshwane University of Technology, and Vaal University of Technology. In addition, 13 new research projects were approved and implemented. The directorate successfully managed a mechanization project from


48

the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) that disseminated 72 tractors and 332 pieces of equipment. The tractors were successfully distributed to 59 co-operatives, 3 metropolitan municipalities and 2 district municipalities of West Rand and Sedibeng. An annual Agriculture Research Symposium was held In June 2012, with 220 researchers and agriculture officials attending. DAFF, other provincials departments of agriculture, and GDARD officials participated in the proceedings. A total of 43 presentations were made at the event. AfricaBio, a non-governmental organization, also graced the event. Three successful Agricultural Expos, which were attended by 1080 farmers, were also hosted.

Rural Development CoordinationThe Department continued with its coordination function across the province with regards to development in the rural areas. After the successful rural development summit as well the signing of the Gauteng Rural Social Compact Plan, GDARD supported stakeholders such as AFASA, WARD and YARD with capacity building programmes to empower the social partners. At least one Farm Worker Equity Scheme was facilitated to increase stake in the company that deals with Tropical Mushroom in Magaliesburg area. In collaboration with Gauteng Growth and Development Agency (GGDA), GDARD conducted an investigation to link dairy farmers in the province with one of the big pharmaceutical companies. This initiative will promote agro-processing in the province.

In addition the Branch supported the Council of Stakeholders in the four rural nodes of Devon, Hekpoort, Kwa-Sokhulumi and Bantu-Bonke with logistical support to enable them to participate in various activities in the province such as Youth Day in Bantu-Bonke. Together with the national Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, GDARD hosted a workshop to solicit inputs from the Council of Stakeholders into the policy framework led by DRDLR as well as to establish the training needs of the Council of Stakeholders. The purpose of the Council of Stakeholders is to ensure local participation and ownership people at the Ward level for all development interventions in their areas.

Together with other GPG departments and municipalities GDARD conducted career guidance and exhibitions in the four rural nodes to encourage learners to take interest in their own academic future. Over 400 learners participated

in the career guidance and exhibition. DRDLR continued with renovations of schools in Devon area and the project will be concluded in the next financial year.

During the year under review, an additional 1000 National Rural Youth Service Corps young people joined the programme in the province. This second intake resulted in the number of young people in the programme at more than 1800. The programme is aimed at imparting work experience for the young people in areas such as construction, agriculture, community service and administration. In collaboration with DRDLR, GDARD organized the provincial NARYSEC workshop to review the programme and to develop interventions to address challenges with a view to make the programme more effective and sustainable.

All other GPG departments continued development work in their respective areas such as rural roads upgrading, rural housing construction, boarding facilitys construction in Magaliesburg, Multi-purpose Community Center in Kwa-Sokhulumi, community safety patrollers in rural areas, health post establishment, sporting activities and feasibility studies. All these interventions are aimed at improving the lives of people in the rural areas.

Veterinary Services Due to the excellent work in disease control and surveillance carried out by GDARD’s Veterinary Services, no reported outbreaks of exotic diseases of economic significance occurred within the province. This favourable disease status meant that trade in both livestock and processed livestock products were stimulated and could continue unhindered.

The surge in the economic growth of most countries on the African continent was accompanied by expansion of South African companies exporting into the continent, including those that seek retail opportunities. This in turn has seen an increase in the demand for farm compartmentalisation services which enables producers to meet the stringent animal health requirements of the importing countries. Gauteng Veterinary Services also continued to offer high level veterinary services for the Gauteng public as evidenced by the extension of the ISO 17020 SANAS accreditation for the 2012/13 year and the very high levels of customer satisfaction of all surveyed clients.


49

The section of Veterinary Public Health continued to ensure that healthy meat and meat products were produced in Gauteng. The meat labelling scandal burst on the scene during the financial year highlighting the problems that can arise from fragmented control of the food chain. Although it did no fall within the Services mandate, GDARD assisted in the investigation.

The country received OIE (the World Animal Health Organisation) auditors to conduct a country audit of the entire livestock industry as well as both the public and private sector veterinary services. The final report, which is being awaited, should pinpoint gaps, which will inform the development of strategy and allocation of resources for Veterinary Services. South Africa was the only remaining country in the SADC region that had not yet invited the OIE to conduct this country audit.

Innovative and efficient service delivery allowed Veterinary Services to meet the skyrocketing demand for Primary Animal Health. More than 97 000 vaccinations were carried out during the year by branch staff.

Sustainable Resource ManagementThe Sustainable Resource Management component continued with its award-winning innovative work, and

changed lives, created jobs and protected the natural resource base by community-based natural resource, landcare and Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) projects.

The departmental proposed exit strategy was presented as a paper at the National LandCare Conference, which took place in Mmabatho during October 2012. GDARD supported projects won five national awards at the conference.

In 2012/13 the EPWP created 626 work opportunities and 275 full-time equivalent jobs, exceeding targets thanks to an allocation from the EPWP Incentives Grant. The beneficiaries included 185 youth (50%), 194 women (52%), and 9 people (2%) living with disabilities.

The Gauteng Environment and Culture sector jobs, created from 01 April to 31 December 2012, totalled 11,696 work opportunities, which translates to 4,878 full-time equivalent jobs. EPWP beneficiaries received a total of 1907 person days training, exceeding the annual target of 1000.

5.3 PROGRAMME 3: CONSERVATIONPurposeThe programme is responsible for promoting the equitable and sustainable use of ecosystem goods and services; and contributing to economic development by managing biological diversity and its components, processes, habitats and functions. This contributes to the protection and enhancement of environmental assets and natural resources through biodiversity protection.

Sub-programmes1. Biodiversity Management

2. Environmental Empowerment Service

Strategic objectives/Outputs (as defined in the 2010/14

Strategic Plan)

Output 1: Enhanced quality and quantity of water resources

Output 3: Sustainable Environmental Management

Output 4: Protected Biodiversity

Strategic objectives, performance indicators planned targets and actual achievementsStrategic objectives

• Conservation

• Conservation contributes to Outcome 5b: Protected and enhanced environmental assets and natural resources and its attendant outputs, and Outcome 10: Protected and enhanced environmental assets and natural resources.

• In support of water resource protection, Management Plans were developed for Natalspruit wetland in Ekurhuleni Local Municipality; Sebokeng zone 3 wetland in Emfuleni Local Municipality; Grasmere wetland in City of Johannesburg; Leewpan (Wattville) in Ekurhuleni Local Municipality.

• To help protect biodiversity, through its people and parks programme, GDARD supported community-based natural resource management thatch grass

harvesting projects. Suikerbosrand provided support to the Magagula and ZonkiZizwe local communities through its natural resource use program that allows for thatch grass harvesting in Suikerbosrand between April and November each year. An experienced team of nature conservation managers, supported by scientists, monitors the use of resources. The annual monetary value of the thatch grass harvested by 30 woman from Magagula and ZonkiZizwe is in access of R250 000.00. Interviews with the harvesters have confirmed that the programme assists them by better positioning them to take their children to school and to provide daily meals.

• Access to nature reserves for people with disabilities was enhanced by the Suikerbosrand Nature reserve hiking trails specifically designed for people with disability. The reserve ran a joint environmental education program with Eco Access, an organisation which supports people with disability. During the year, 238 learners with various disabilities participated in environmental and heritage education programmes at Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve.

• A special cycling event, the Rand Water Race for Victory, took place at Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve in support of the School for Cerebral Palsy and children with learning disabilities. This event takes place in October each year.

• The tourist route is closed between 06h00am and 11h30am to prevent potential accidents. During this window period visitors are given free entry to undertake other activities such as picnicking, and hiking. The free entry during this period compensates for the inconvenience of tourists who might have wanted to use the tourist route for game viewing. After 11h30 all visitors coming in are charged the normal entry fee.

• The Performance Information section of this annual report contains progress against indicators for the Conservation programme.

5.4 Programme 4: Environmental AffairsPurposeTo ensure that the province implements the principles of integrated waste management; promotes sustainable development and quality of life by ensuring acceptable ambient air quality and sustainable mining practices; and manages hazardous chemicals and industrial related activities. The programme responds to Outcome 5a in the province: Protected and enhanced environmental assets and natural resources.

Sub-programmes1. Environmental Policy, Planning and Coordination

2. Environmental Quality Management

3. Compliance and Enforcement

Strategic objectives/Outputs (as defined in the 2010/14 Strategic Plan)

Output 1: Enhanced quality and quantity of water resources

Output 2: Reduced Greenhouse gas emissions, climate change and improved air/atmospheric quality


Strategic objectives, performance indicators planned targets and actual achievementsStrategic objectivesPollution and Waste Management In order to capacitate municipalities and community members regarding the implementation of Gauteng General Waste Collection Standards, GDARD monitored levels of cleanliness at various municipalities and gave them feedback in order to improve the level of cleanliness within their jurisdictions.

Four successful Waste Management fora were convened. Participants included industry recycling and waste management companies, municipalities, research institutions, waste entrepreneurs, co-operatives and NGOs. The fora were convened to:

• Strengthen co-operative governance on waste management in the province;

• Present a communication platform between GDARD and local government, industries and non-governmental organisations on waste management issues;

• Share information on waste management best practices; and,

• Provide a platform for networking.

The fora contributed to sharing information for recycling towards the minimisation of waste disposed to landfills, and assisting waste entrepreneurs to improve their waste management skill. This helped to increase the sustainability of their waste jobs and environmental protection.

In an effort to assist with waste minimisation, GDARD supported buy-back centres and distributed 30 waste collection trolleys to 6 waste recycling facilities and recycling equipment to 4 recycling facilities; 21 waste “Ecobins”, i.e. bins with separate compartments for recycling, were distributed to the City of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipalities. This was part of implementing the separation-at-source concept of the Waste Minimisation Plan and Clean and Green Plan.

In addition, a provincial recycling training for small waste companies, waste entrepreneurs, waste pickers and collectors was conducted to assist them to increase their waste collection volumes and improve their businesses.

GDARD maintains the Gauteng Waste Information System (GWIS), which is designed to collect provincial waste data. This system was upgraded in this financial year in order to align it with the national Waste Information System (SAWIS). Wand aste generators, treatment and disposal facilities participated in 6 training interventions in order to facilitate registration and reporting to the system.

Air Quality The Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) / Mine Residue Areas (MRA) Awareness Event was the main achievement of the Air Quality Directorate for the period under review. The aim of the event was to present Gauteng’s AMD status as well as national and provincial authority initiatives to address AMD/MRA and to ensure the community understands the impact of mining pollution. The event also fostered an understanding of the issues of civil society in terms of the impact of AMD and MRA. A brochure explaining AMD was developed and distributed.


74

Relevant mining companies (Mintails and Gold1) were consulted and were part of the programme. Both mining companies also supported the visits to sites by the MEC to see treatment facilities. The site visits were attended by MMCs, HOD, Ward Councillors, and members of communities. Local municipalities were part of the planning team and Mogale City presented on the impact of AMD on the game reserve adjacent to the decanting point.

The event was well attended and carried a positive message on the observed improvement of water quality and river health of Tweelopiesspruit and current and planned government interventions. Municipalities, relevant provincial Departments and national Departments and entitites were in attendance.

Compliance and EnforcementThe Compliance and Enforcement Branch operates under the auspices of the Environmental Management Inspection (EMI) brand, a national network of environmental enforcement officials from different government departments. In order to fulfil the mandate bestowed upon the EMIs, officials undergo a specific training programme that qualifies them for designation as EMIs. Because the training is lengthy only a few officers can be designated to work as EMIs.

The legislative framework within which EMIs are designated is currently limited to the one set of laws (the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) and its specific environmental management Acts), which thus limits the enforcement powers and functions of EMIs. “New” enforcement tools such as compliance notices have been introduced by the amendments of NEMA and these are now gaining strength and momentum.

The designation of Environmental Management Inspectors (EMI) at local authority is a key national indicator which forms part of the delivery agreement between the President and the Minister of Environmental Affairs. GDARD was the first province in the country to designate 3 officials as EMIs at Emfuleni Municipality. During the year Ekurhuleni, City of Joburg, West Rand District and Lesedi Municipality signed the MOU and MEC has designated 24 municipal officials as EMIs. GDARD was also the only province that was able to obtain approval for an admission of guilt fines for the Waste Act, which was approved by the Chief Magistrate of Pretoria.

In total 14 national sector inspections were conducted and 13 notices were issued to amongst others Arcelormittal, Seaton, Impala Platinum, Merafong Municipality and Tshwane Metro.

The Compliance and Enforcement Branch does not only concentrate on prosecutions or administrative enforcement actions. Awareness raising is also high on the branch’s agenda. The branch participated in capacity building and awareness-raising interventions and informed a wide range of stakeholders on the work of the Environmental Management Inspectorate. The Vets Enforcement unit, for example, has undertaken 78 and the Biodiversity Unit 17 awareness raising actions during the year. At the 2012 EMI Lekgotla, held in Polokwane, 3 officials from the Branch were nominated for the national award of excellence for outstanding contribution to the inspection and/or administrative enforcement of environmental legislation in the whole country and they all made it to top 5. One of them scooped an award of excellence for outstanding contribution to the inspection of environmental legislation nation-wide.

The Branch’s performance for 2012/13 Financial Year exceeded the targets as per the performance information provided elsewhere in this annual report.

Strategy to overcome areas of under performanceDelayed procurement processesDuring the first two quarters of the 2012/2013 financial year, there were delays in the appointment of services providers and the award of tenders. A decision to hold Departmental Acquisition Council (DAC) meetings on a weekly basis was taken, so as to expedite the appointment of service providers. Ever since this decision was taken, there was a huge increase in the number of tenders which were awarded. As a result most service providers were appointed in the third Quarter, hence the increase in spending as of the 3rd and 4th Quarter.

Delays in the implementation of school food gardensDelays were experienced due to the challenges in getting information from the Department of Education (DED), as the projects were being implemented in partnership with DED. This led to the late implementation of this project. In order to expedite the implementation of school food gardens, contract workers were appointed and tractors were availed to assist with the establishment of school food gardens. The engagement of stakeholders like Tshwane Municipality also contributed to the increase in the number of school food gardens developed.

Delays in the implementation of community food gardensService providers for the provision of production inputs to establish community food gardens started delivering in the 3rd Quarter, which was behind schedule to meet quarterly targets. The support of the PCO Office was then enlisted with regard to the development of food gardens. Tshwane Municipality was also requested to assist with the transportation and delivery of the delivered starter packs needed for the development of community food gardens. The municipality responded positively to our request, hence the improvement in reaching the target.

Agro-processing projectsCompliance with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) requirements proved to be a challenge for many service providers who tendered for Agro-Processing tenders. Three tenders had to be cancelled as there were no bidders/tenderers who met the CIDB requirements. These included the supply, delivery and Installation of Wintervelt Citrus Processing and Packing Facility; and supply, delivery and installation of specialised Agro processing machinery. This meant that some of these tenders had to be re-advertised in order to find appropriate service providers. This led to delays in the achievement of the set targets.

Gauteng Clean and Green (Tree Planting)With regard to the planting of trees, contract workers were appointed to assist with the actual delivery and planting of trees. Extra trucks were also made available to assist with the project. Services of the Independent Development Trust (IDT) were also sourced to assist with the planting of trees project.

Implementation of Infrastructure ProjectsThere were also delays in the implementation of departmental Infrastructure projects. This was mainly due to the poor performance of the Department of Infrastructure Development (DID) as implementing agent. Due to the aforementioned, the IDT was appointed as the implementing agent of the Department’s infrastructure projects. This decision was taken in consultation with DID. This led to an improvement in the implementation of the infrastructure projects.

National QPR indicators not included in the APP 2012/13

Serial Old indicator/target New Indicator/target(if applicable)

1 Number of agricultural engineering advisory reports prepared

GDARD does not have a structure and not funded for engineering services.

2 Number of final certificates issued for infrastructure constructed

GDARD does not have a structure and not funded for engineering services.

3 Number of samples collected for residue monitoring at export establishments

This function is a national function. GDARD is not involved in the sampling

4 Number of control audit reports Gauteng Veterinary Service does not own and manage a diagnostic laboratory and therefore will not be able to report on this indicator

5 Number of research infrastructure provided

The reason for not including in the QPR/APP: GDARD does not own any research farms. The short definition in the indicators for the QPR 2013/14 refers to the number of research infrastructure made available for research and technology development refers to research farms and facilities. GDARD research funding covers only the research consumables (Inputs, such as seeds, required to conduct the research) and not infrastructure costs. Furthermore, the evidence required for infrastructure costs includes farm registers, facility register or title deeds which GDARD would not have because the farms and facilities are owned by Universities and ARC

6 Number of research infrastructure maintained

Programme 1 - Administration: The Programme spent 99.99% of its allocated budget for the 2012-2013 financial year.

Programme 2 - Agriculture and Rural Development: This Programme spent 99.34% of its allocated budget. An amount of R1,6 million was not spent on Transfers and Subsidies. The reason for this under-spending was that the Department originally budgeted for transfer payment under Departmental Agencies and Accounts, but at the time payment was to be effected, the Standard Chart of Accounts (SCOA) had changed. The changes meant that SAFEC was not recognised as one of the Entities that could receive transfer payments under Departmental Agencies and Accounts. The SAFEC payment was subsequently processed under Goods and Services and not under Transfers and Subsidies. This consequently led to an under spending on Transfers and Subsidies and over-spending on Goods and Services.

Programme 3 – Conservation: The Programme spent 100% of its allocated budget for the 2012-2013 financial year.

Programme 4 - Environmental Affairs: This Programme spent 99.79% of its allocated budget. An amount of R137 thousand was not spent under the compensation of employees budget. The under-spending can be attributed to vacancies during the financial year.

Each year the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development organises the Gauteng Agricultural Expo

6.4 Public Entities Public entities receive sizeable transfer payments from government and are often the front-line providers of services on behalf of government. It is therefore important to understand the impact of these services on the community. Departments are requested to provide information on the services provided by these public entities, transfer payments to the public entities, the actual amount spent from the transfer received by the public entities, strategic achievements of the public entity. Departments must also comment on monthly monitoring systems or the lack thereof to monitor spending on such transfer payments. If such monitoring did take place, departments must provide details of difficulties experienced and what steps (if any) were taken to rectify such difficulties.

The allocations projected in the user asset management plan are spent accordingly and assets are utilised optimally with none left vacant for any financial year. The Department does not plan to down grade or close down any facilities. Good progress has been made on maintenance of infrastructure with maintenance of infrastructure on all GDARD buildings being budgeted for and implemented on a yearly basis. No major maintenance projects have been undertaken during the period under review. The rate of progress is according to plan as there was no backlog from 2011/12. Due to on-going maintenance, there is no infrastructures that need to be demolished. However there was slow progress with regard to specific projects that could not be completed during 2012/13 and will be carried over into 2013/14.

Details as to how asset holdings have changed over the period under review, including information on disposals, scrapping and loss due to theft are available in the Disclosure Notes to the Annual Financial Statements and measures taken to ensure that the department’s asset register remained up-to-date during the period under review

The Department’s Asset Management unit is notified of any purchase of an asset. This assists in ensuring that as soon as delivery is made, the newly procured asset is barcoded. The Asset Management unit is also informed of any movement of assets through the provision of Asset Transfer forms. An asset verification exercise was also conducted during the course of the financial year.

Governance


114

1. INTRODUCTIONThe Department maintains a high standard of governance which includes a Risk Management unit and Internal Audit as well as an Ethic Committee. The Provincial Audit Committee services a cluster of Departments, viz. Department of Economic Development, Department of Community Safety, Trading Entity : Liquor Board and Dinokeng Cradle of Humankind. The committee consists of external members from civil society, the HOD, CFO and CRO from the these Departments. The Audit Committee is effective in that it provides valuable support and oversight to the Department in relation to financial management and accountability.

The Audit Committee was functional and reviewed all plans and progress for the 2012/13 financial year. The department has a fully functional and effective Risk Management Committee which meets Quarterly. All Chief Directors are members thereof including the Chief Risk Officer.

The purpose of the Risk Management function is to monitor the Department’s risk profile quarterly and to report this to the Risk Management Committee.

2. RISK MANAGEMENTEffective management of risk and opportunity is essential in the achievement of the department‘s goals and objectives. Risk Management has remained an integral part of the operations of the department during the year under review.

The Department has adopted the Gauteng Provincial Government Risk Management Framework approach to Risk Management which means that each key risk in every business unit of the department is included in a structured framework and systematic process of Risk Management. Risk assessment reviews are conducted annually and specifically address strategic, operational, human resource, information technology, financial and reputational risks as well as risks covered by the legislation on Health, Safety and Environmental issues. The Risk Management unit is headed by the Chief Risk Officer and it now reports directly to the Accounting Officer. The unit has been given access to Top Management and facilitate the process of embedding Risk Management into day-to-day activities and management processes within the

department. This includes the following activities:

• Conducting annual strategic risk assessments;

• Conducting operational risk assessments or re-evaluate key risks for all business units at-least annually;

• Regular reviews and update of risk registers and progress on management actions intended to mitigate or reduce the identified risks;

• Development of contingency plans for high risks;

• Early identification of emerging risks and initiation of risk reduction or mitigation actions; and

• Monitor and report on key risks affecting the department including any incidents or losses.

The Risk Management unit and line managers are accountable on risk mitigation to the Risk Management Committee, even though the Head of Department is ultimately responsible for Risk management within the department.

The Head of Department is accountable to the Executive Authority regarding the effectiveness of the Risk Management process.

Risks are reported to the following oversight bodies

• The Audit Committee.

• Executive Management Team

• Risk Management Committee

• Gauteng Provincial Government Risk Management Forums

The risk identification process is performed at risk assessment workshops and includes all risks whether or not such risks are under the control of the department.

Further methods of risk identification will include:

• Strategic Planning Reports

• Internal Audit Reports

• External Audit Reports

• Forensic/Investigation Reports

• Changes in the business environment


115

• Changes in external environment

• Best practices

• Actual loss data

• Historical data information

• Review of SCOPA reports

• Financial analysis and

• Similar risks occurring in other departments

Risks identified through Risk Management workshops are reported to the Risk Management unit on a quarterly basis these reports are further reviewed by the risk management for quality purposes

The Risk Management culture has improved significantly for the year under review as management is more committed with regard to reporting on risks identified for their specific directorate as well as reporting emerging risk to the Risk Management unit, this has ensured a continuous monitoring of identified risks as well as updating of alternative mitigation actions with risks that require much detailed attention.

3. FRAUD AND CORRUPTION The department has Fraud Prevention Policy and Prevention Plan in place. The plan was revised during the year in line with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and the Treasury Regulations (TR)

The main objectives of the Plan include the following:

• Developing a culture of ethical behaviour and instilling zero-tolerance to fraud and corruption;

• Sending a clear message to all employees and members of the public who interact with the department that it is committed to fighting fraud and corruption;

• Improving accountability, efficiency and effective administration within the department and to deal decisively with acts of fraud and corruption;

• Improving the application of systems, policies, procedures and regulations;

• Encouraging all employees and other stakeholders to strive towards the prevention and detection of fraud and corruption impacting or having the potential to impact the department

The Department has implemented the GPG Whistleblowing Policy, with guidance for staff on anonymous reporting. Reporting can be done through the departments’ Legal representative, Member of the Executive Council, Public Service Commission, Public Protector, The Auditor General, The Gauteng Premiers’ Office, National Gauteng Hotline by form of South African telephone numbers, or post, with the Chief Risk Officer as the principal contact.

All employees and other stakeholders have the opportunity to make confidential disclosures about any suspected impropriety and wrongdoing. Confidential disclosures can be made to the National Anti-Corruption Hotline (NACH) which is maintained by the Public Service Commission (PSC). All reported cases are thoroughly investigated and where necessary dealt with in terms of disciplinary code and procedures.

The Department is supported by the Gauteng Department of Finance: Forensic Services unit with regard to dealing with all cases of fraud and corruption reported through to the department. The unit fulfils the department’s objective of timeously investigating and reporting fraud and corruption and other related irregularities.

4. MINIMISING CONFLICT OF INTEREST

All SMS members are required to complete the declaration of financial interest as prescribed by the Public Service Act. These forms are submitted to the Executive Authority and then to the Public Service Commission. The Department has complied with all these requirements.

5. CODE OF CONDUCT/ETHICSThe Department complies with the Public Service Code of Conduct and The Ethics Committee in the Department has been established and an Ethics Officer has been appointed by the Head of Department. The Committee meets once every quarter and part of its functions include oversight, training, reporting and advice. An Ethics Integrity Assessment was conducted by the Public Service Commission and the result is awaited.


116

6. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OHS)

The Occupational Health and Safety unit experienced capacity challenges in the year under review with the resignation of the Deputy Director Safety and Security who had been designated as the Department’s OHS officer. This has affected the functioning of the Department’s Occupational Health and Safety Committee comprised of the DD: Safety and Security and members from each site (Regional Offices and Reserve). Processes are being put in place to revive the Committee in the 2013/14 financial year.

7. INTERNAL CONTROL UNITThe Internal Audit function is carried out by Gauteng Audit Services within the Department of Finance. A risk assessment was conducted by the Department which formed the basis for all the internal audit work done during the year under review. The Internal Audit Plan was duly approved by the Audit Committee as part of their oversight duties in ensuring that all high risk areas of the business are audited. In the 2012/13 financial year the Gauteng Audit Services planned to perform 11 audits. Out of the 11 audits planned, nine (9) have been completed and two were finalised in April 2013.

During the financial year under review, Ms. Simangele Sekgobela resigned as the Head of Department and Ms. Priscilla Pietersen was appointed to act in the capacity of Head of Department. The Chief Financial Officer of the Department also resigned and Mr. Mfundo Hadebe was appointed Acting Chief Financial Officer. However, the Audit Committee is satisfied that the Department adhered to the provisions of the GPG Audit Committee Charter.

The Members of the Audit Committee met with the Senior Management of the Department and Internal Audit, collectively to address risks and challenges facing the Departments. A number of in-committee meetings were held to address control weaknesses and conflicts with the Department.

Audit Committee ResponsibilityThe Audit Committee reports that it has complied with its responsibilities arising from section 38 (1) (a) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulation 3.1.13. The Audit Committee also reports that it has adopted appropriate formal terms of reference as its Audit Committee Charter, has regulated its affairs in compliance with this Charter and has discharged all its responsibilities as contained therein.

The effectiveness of internal control The Audit Committee has observed that the overall control environment has continued to improve during the year under review. However, there are still some concerns with the level of internal controls within the Department where evidence of lapses of effective monitoring and enforcement by Management were observed.

During the year under review, several deficiencies in the system of internal control and deviations were reported by the Auditor-General South Africa. In certain instances, the matters reported previously have not been fully and satisfactorily addressed.

The quality of in year management and monthly / quarterly reports submitted in terms of the PFMA and the Division of Revenue Act The Audit Committee is satisfied with the content and quality of monthly and quarterly reports prepared and issued by the Accounting Officer of the Department during the year under review, in compliance with the statutory reporting framework.

Evaluation of Financial StatementsThe Audit Committee has:

• reviewed and discussed the audited Annual Financial Statements to be included in the Annual Report, with the Auditor-General and the Accounting Officer;

• reviewed the Auditor-General’s management report and Management’s response thereto;

• reviewed the Department’s compliance with legal and regulatory provisions; and

• reviewed significant adjustments resulting from the audit.

The Audit Committee concurs with and accepts the Auditor-General’s conclusions on the Annual Financial Statements, and is of the opinion that the audited Annual Financial Statements be accepted and read together with the report of the Auditor-General.

Internal Audit The Audit Committee is satisfied that the Internal Audit plans addresses a clear alignment with the major risks, adequate information systems coverage, a good balance between different categories of audits, i.e. risk-based, mandatory, performance and follow-up audits.

The Audit Committee has noted considerable improvement in the communication between the Executive Management, the Auditor General and the Internal Audit Function, which has strengthened the Corporate Governance initiatives.

The Audit Committee wishes to stress that in order for the Internal Audit Function to operate at optimal level as expected by the Audit Committee, it requires more capacity and skills.

Risk ManagementProgress on Departmental risk management was reported to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. The Audit Committee is satisfied that the actual management of risk is receiving attention, although there are areas that still require improvement. Management should take full responsibility for the entire Enterprise Risk Management process and support the Chief Risk Officer.

Forensic InvestigationsThe Audit Committee is not satisfied that the forensic investigations are properly reported with age-analysis of all reported issues indicated. Details of results in respect of investigations conducted as a result of calls through the fraud hotline were not provided to the Committee.

One-on-One Meetings with the Accounting OfficerThe Audit Committee has met with the Accounting Officer for the Department to address unresolved issues.

One-on-One Meetings with the Executive AuthorityThe Audit Committee has met with the Executive Authority for the Department to apprise her on the performance of the Department.

Evaluation of the Annual ReportThe Committee has: -

• Reviewed and discussed the financial statements.

• Reviewed the accounting policies and practices.

• Reviewed and discussed with the management the annual financial statements financial statements and performance information included in the Annual Report.

The monitoring of the Department’s performance is a key function of the executive management of the Department. The Committee has no direct line responsibility for the Department’s performance measurement. However, the Committee has ensured, principally through the internal audit function, that the systems of performance measurement and reporting, as well as the systems of internal control that underpin the performance management framework of the Department, remain


119

robust and are addressed routinely in the audit plans. The Committee also obtained assurance from management and internal audit that the Department’s performance management system adequately and effectively report appropriate and relevant information.

The Committee has accepted the responsibility to ensure adequate reporting on performance information and the policies and that the procedures are of a standard acceptable to the Department. The Committee’s mandate and charter has been altered to acknowledge this responsibility. The Committee has taken note of the Performance Information Report which compares the actual performance of the organization against the approved Business Plan for the financial year, the strategic objectives, key performance indicators and targets set.

ConclusionThe Committee concurs in general with the conclusions of the Auditor-General on the Annual Financial Report of the Department for the year ended 31st March 2013.

The Committee has once again taken note of the concerns of the Auditor General and accepts that there is further room for improvement in the areas of asset management, expenditure control, human resources and procurement and contract management. As in previous years the Audit Committee will ensure that the internal audit plan addresses these issues and will monitor the implementation of the recommendations contained in the Auditor-General’s Report.

I would like to thank all members of the Committee for their contribution and the professional way in which meetings were conducted. To the Honorable MEC, Acting HOD and the staff of the Department, the Committee wishes to express its sincere appreciation for the progress made this year and the manner in which the Department engaged with the Audit Committee.

1. LEGISLATION THAT GOVERNS HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The information provided in this part is prescribed by the Public Service Regulations (Chapter 1, Part III J.3 and J.4).

2. INTRODUCTION • Overview of HR matters at the department

The Department is embedding the culture of ownership by line managers on human resource related processes. This is done through continuous support, skills development where required and full involvement of line managers on people management processes.

The Department generally complied on HR regulated aspects but was found to be inadequate on the following areas: timeous filling of vacancies, leave management, performance contracting and management. All these aspects are being addressed through quarterly action plans.

The relationship between the Department and Organised Labour generally improved, which led to the resuscitation of the departmental labour forum and better consultation processes which contributes towards better service delivery and labour peace.

• Set HR priorities for the year under review and the impact of these priorities

HR Planning and Monitoring: The development and approval of the human resources plan has assisted the Department to be focused in the functioning of the Department. The human resource plan serves as a one stop shop and line management is gradually brought into working within the confines of the human resources plan. This will improve the attainment of set goals of the plan.

Policy Review and Development: The Department reviewed and approved a number of human resources policies. The process of reviewing key process within human resources management will be continued in the following financial year.

• Workforce planning framework and key strategies to attract and recruit a skilled and capable workforce

The implementation of the Occupation Specific Dispensation (OSD) assisted the Department in attracting and retaining employees in some of the scarce and critical skills areas.

The Department funded a total of 8 youth to pursue careers in the environmental, veterinary services and conservation sectors.

In the financial year a total number of 7 awareness sessions were held including participation in a career exhibition specifically for Persons with Disabilities. These sessions seek to cultivate interest in careers in the scarce skills categories and to promote the Public Service, GPG and specifically GDARD as an employer of choice offering exciting and lucrative career prospects.

Internal capacity building initiatives like formal training, study tours and skills programmes are used develop employees for career progression.

• Employee performance management framework

The application and implementation of the framework has been identified as a gap in the Department. In order to address this, refresher sessions will be conducted to ensure common understanding and application.

The Department has managed to ensure compliance to the regulatory framework in the utilisation of the performance management budget.

• Employee wellness programmes

The Department offers a wide range of employee wellness programmes including the support on HIV/AIDS. Approximately twenty-three (23) peer educators were trained.

A total of three (03) wellness sessions were conducted for the year, reaching internal employees. The Department utilises Careways for psycho-social services and offers face to face and telephonic counselling services for employees. Furthermore regular articles on various health and wellness topics


123

are circulated to employees.

Policy development • Highlight achievements

The approval and submission of the Human Resource Plan

The Department hosted three (03) wellness sessions for internal staff

As part of the HIV/AIDS support and management, 23 peer educators were trained

The Department exceeded the 5% GPG target and appointed 6% of the staff establishment on internships

• Challenges faced by the department

The reliance on the Shared Services for the implementation of key human resources processes continues to be an a challenge and affect turnaround times

The Department did not meet its employment equity targets; 50% females on SMS level and 2% of people with disability

Insufficient funding to implement employee wellness programmes continues to be a challenge in the Department.

• Future HR plans /goals

i. Improve the turnaround time in the filling of posts

ii. Improve the turnaround time in resolving disciplinary cases and grievances

iii. Finalise the organizational structure review process

iv. Review of current personnel budget in order to prioritise within the confines of the approved budget

The reasons for under spending are as follows:


178


178

The Department underspent by 0.34% mainly as a result of transfer payments that had to be paid under Goods and Services.

Administration – R15 thousandThe Programme was able to spend 99.99% of its allocated budget for the 2012-2013 financial year.

Agriculture – R1, 6 million This Programme spent 99.34% of its allocated budget. R1,6 million was not spent on Transfers and Subsidies. The reason for this under-spending was that the Department originally budgeted for this transfer payment under Departmental Agencies and Accounts, but when we wanted to effect payment to South African Flower Export Council (SAFEC), the Standard Chart of Accounts (SCOA) had changed. The changes meant that SAFEC was not recognised as one of the Entities that could receive transfer payments under Departmental Agencies and Accounts. The SAFEC payment was subsequently processed under Goods and Services and not under Transfers and Subsidies. That consequently led to an under spending on Transfers and Subsidies and over-spending on Goods and Services.

Conservation – R1 thousandThe Programme was able to spend 100% of its allocated budget for the 2012-2013 financial year.

Environment – R137 thousandThis Programme spent 99.79% of its allocated budget. R135 thousand was not spent relating to compensation of employees budget. The under-spending can be attributed to vacancies during the financial year.

VirementsA request was submitted to Treasury to approve Virements as indicated below:

Programme 1: AdministrationTotal amount of R637 thousand was moved to Programme 1, of which – Financial management sub programme received R351 thousand to cater for bad debts that were written off during the financial year. Funds are only allocated to this item once the expenditure

is written as irrecoverable and approved as a loss. Corporate Services sub programme received R286 thousand to fund critical posts under compensation of employees.

Programme 2: Agriculture and Rural DevelopmentTotal amount of R5,9 million was moved to Programme 2 , of which –

Famer Support and Development sub programme received R5,3 million to fund shortfalls under compensation of employees and filling of critical posts in this Programme.

Programme 3: ConservationA total amount of R3,1 million was moved from Conservation Agencies & Services to Programme 2. A saving was realised in order to fund critical posts in another Programme. Recruitment was done in line with the needs of the Department as well as critical posts identified.

Programme 4: Environmental AffairsA total amount of R3,1 million was moved from Environmental Affairs which is broken down as follows, R500 thousand from Environmental Policy planning and Cooperation, R1,4 million from Environmental Quality Management and R1,2 million Compliance and Enforcement to Programme 1 and 2. A saving was realised in order to fund critical posts in another programme. Recruitment was done in line with the needs of the department as well as critical posts identified.

Reason for the Overspending/underspendingThe Department underspent by 0.37% mainly as a result of transfer payments that had to be paid under Goods and Services.

SERVICES RENDERED BY THE DEPARTMENTThe Services RenderedThe Services rendered by the Department are covered under Section 1.1 of the Accounting Officer’s report.

Tariff policyThe Department charges tariffs/fines based on the various legislative frameworks that form the mandate of the Department. These include:

• Convention of International Trade in endangered species of fauna and flora (CITIES) export, import, re-export and general permits;

• Veterinary export certification and post-import control;

• Visitor services at the Nature Reserves;

• Section 24G NEMA fines (Section 24G of NEMA specifically refers to an “administration fine” which serves as an initial penalty for activities that commence prior to authorisation as required by NEMA as well as contravention of the conditions applicable to any environmental authorisation) using a calculator developed jointly by the National Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and the relevant provinces.

Free ServicesThe Department provides all agricultural and environmental related services free of charge to the public. These services include:

• Preparation of business plans

• Feasibility studies

• Training, conferences and information sessions

• Ploughing of farms

• Processing of Environmental authorisation applications

For more information please refer to the Cost Recovery Annual Financial Statements.

CAPACITY CONSTRAINTSThe Departmental vacancy rate at the end of the financial year was at 15.37%, which is 0.37% above the target of 15% but a great improvement from the previous financial year. Two recruitment drives were embarked in the 2012/13 financial year. Attracting and retaining scarce skills remains

problematic due to the pressures in this area from other Government Departments and the private sector. The Department has continued to appoint interns, learners and contract workers (through ERP Grant), and has closely monitored the retention processes. In addition the Department offers bursaries to deserving individuals to assist in building a pool of skills for scarce skills areas. Bursaries with Tshwane University of Technology, University of Pretoria, University of South Africa and the University of Johannesburg were continued in 2012/13 financial year. However, increased demands on the Department’s services and additional mandates without concurrent funding remain a challenge.

Utilisation of donor funds No donor funds were received for the 2012-2013 financial year

Trading entities and public entitiesThe Department manages a Cost Recovery Trading Account which is used for the recovery of costs in the following areas:

• Veterinary Services and Conservation – CITES, export certification and post-import control revenue and associated costs.

• Conservation – Visitor services collections and associated costs

• Compliance and Enforcement – section 24G NEMA Administrative fines as stated above.

For more information please refer to the Cost recovery Annual Financial Statements.

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (PPP)The Department did not enter into any Public Private Partnership for the year under review.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ARRANGEMENTS The Department maintains a high standard of governance which includes a Risk Management unit and Internal Audit as well as an Ethics Committee. The committee consists of external members from civil society, the HOD, CFO and CRO from the these Departments.

The Audit Committee was functional and reviewed all plans and progress for the 2012/13 financial year. The department has a fully functional and effective Risk Management Committee which meets Quarterly. All Chief Directors are members thereof including the Chief Risk Officer.

Risk ManagementThe Department has adopted the Gauteng Provincial Government Risk Management Framework approach to Risk Management which means that each key risk in every business unit of the department is included in a structured framework and systematic process of Risk Management. Risk assessment reviews are conducted annually and specifically address strategic, operational, human resource, information technology, financial and reputational risks as well as risks covered by the legislation on Health, Safety and Environmental issues. The Risk Management unit is headed by the Chief Risk Officer and it now reports directly to the Accounting Officer.

The Risk Management unit and line managers are accountable on risk mitigation to the Risk Management Committee, even though the Head of Department is ultimately responsible for Risk management within the department.

The Head of Department is accountable to the Executive Authority regarding the effectiveness of the Risk Management process.

Risks are reported to the following oversight bodies

• The Audit Committee.

• Executive Management Team

• Risk Management Committee

• Gauteng Provincial Government Risk Management Forums

The Risk Management culture has improved significantly for the year under review as management is more committed with regard to reporting on risks identified for their specific directorate as well as reporting emerging risk to the Risk Management unit.

Fraud and Corruption The Department has a Fraud Prevention Policy and Prevention Plan in place. The main objectives of the Plan include the following:

• Developing a culture of ethical behaviour.

• Sending a clear message that the department is committed to fighting fraud and corruption;

• Improving accountability, efficiency and effective administration within the department and dealing decisively with acts of fraud and corruption;

• Improving the application of systems, policies, procedures and regulations;

• Encouraging all employees and other stakeholders to strive towards the prevention and detection of fraud and corruption.

The Department has implemented the GPG Whistleblowing Policy, with guidance for staff on anonymous reporting. Reporting can be done through the departments’ Legal representative, Member of the Executive Council, Public Service Commission, Public Protector, The Auditor General, The Gauteng Premiers’ Office, National Gauteng Hotline by form of South African telephone numbers, or post, with the Chief Risk Officer as the principal contact.

All employees and other stakeholders have the opportunity to make confidential disclosures about any suspected impropriety and wrongdoing. All reported cases are thoroughly investigated and


182


182

where necessary dealt with in terms of disciplinary code and procedures.

The Department is supported by the Gauteng Department of Finance: Forensic Services unit with regard to dealing with all cases of fraud and corruption reported through to the department.

Minimising Conflict of InterestAll SMS members, officials in Finance (Procurement and Financial Management), officials at the level of Assistant Directors and above are required to complete the declaration of financial interest. These forms are submitted to the Executive Authority and then to the Public Service Commission. The Department has complied with all these requirements. Approval must also be obtained before any remunerative work outside the public service can be undertaken by officials. In terms of the Remunerative Work Outside the Public Service Policy that governs this, an official cannot seek approval to do work that would be in conflict with his/her job responsibility in the Department.

Code of Conduct/EthicsThe Department complies with the Public Service Code of Conduct and The Ethics Committee in the Department has been established and an Ethics Officer has been appointed by the Head of Department. The Committee meets once every quarter and part of its functions include oversight, training, reporting and advice. The Public Service Code of Conduct is also workshopped during induction of new employees.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)As indicated under the section “Corporate Governance”, the Occupational Health and Safety unit experienced capacity challenges in the year under review with the resignation of the Deputy Director Safety and Security who had been designated as the Department’s OHS officer. This has affected the functioning of the Department’s Occupational Health and Safety Committee comprised of the DD: Safety and Security and members from each site (Regional Offices and Reserve). Processes are being put in place to revive the Committee in the 2013/14 financial year.

Internal Control UnitThe Internal Audit function is carried out by Gauteng Audit Services within the Department of Finance. A risk assessment was conducted by the Department which formed the basis for all the internal audit work done during the year under review. The Internal Audit Plan was duly approved by the Audit Committee as part of their oversight duties in ensuring that all high risk areas of the business are audited. In the 2012/13 financial year the Gauteng Audit Services planned to perform 11 audits. Out of the 11 audits planned, nine (9) have been completed and two were finalised in April 2013.

DISCONTINUED ACTIVITIES/ACTIVITIES TO BE DISCONTINUEDNo activities were discontinued.

NEW/PROPOSED ACTIVITIESThere are no new/proposed activities.

ASSET MANAGEMENTAsset management

• All assets acquired in the period were recorded in the Asset Register through proper liaison between asset controllers, end-users and procurement practitioners regarding assets acquisition and delivery. Compliance with the minimum requirements has been achieved to date.

• Monthly reconciliation between BAS and Asset Register and asset verifi cation has been performed to ensure that departmental Assets Register remained up-to-date

• During the period under review a game count was also undertaken on the nature reserves under the management of GDARD.

• The Department continued to participate in the Provincial Asset Management Forum.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERALfor the year ended 31 March 2013

186186


Introduction1. I have audited the financial statements of the

Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development set out on pages 190 to 264, which comprise the appropriation statement, the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2013, the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in net assets and the cash flow statement for the year then ended, and the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Accounting Officer’s responsibility for the financial statements2. The accounting officer is responsible for the

preparation of these financial statements in accordance with the The Departmental financial reporting framework prescribed by the National Treasury and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa,1999 (Act No 1 of 1999) (PFMA), and for such internal control as the accounting officer determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor-General’s responsibility 3. My responsibility is to express an opinion on

these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), the General Notice issued in terms thereof and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures

selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

5. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

Opinion6. In my opinion, the financial statements present

fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development as at 31 March 2013, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the The Departmental financial reporting framework prescribed by the National Treasury and the requirements of the PFMA.

Emphasis of matters 7. I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is

not modified in respect of these matters.

Material losses8. As disclosed in note 30.5 to the financial

statements, material losses to the amount of R4 918 000 were incurred as a result of write-off of movable assets.

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


187187


Restatement of corresponding figures9. As disclosed in note 30 and 31 to the financial

statements, the corresponding figures for the 31 March 2012 have been restated by R15 232 000 as a result of an error discovered during 31 March 2013, relating to movable assets that could not be verified. These assets are being investigated by the department.

Accruals10. The Department incurred accruals amounting

to R23 947 000 for the financial year ended 31 March 2013. This amount, in turn, exceeds the voted funds to be surrendered of R1 771 000 as per the statement of financial performance by R22 176 000. The amount of R22 176 000 would have resulted in unauthorised expenditure if the balance was settled at year end.

Additional matters11. I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is


Unaudited supplementary schedules 12. The supplementary information set out on pages

254 to 264 does not form part of the financial statements and is presented as additional information. I have not audited these schedules and, accordingly, I do not express an opinion thereon.

Financial reporting framework 13. The financial reporting framework prescribed

by the National Treasury and applied by the department is a compliance framework. The wording of my opinion on a compliance framework should reflect that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with this framework and not that they ‘present fairly’. Section 20(2)(a) of the PAA, however, requires me to express an opinion on the fair presentation of the financial statements. The wording of my opinion therefore reflects this requirement.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS14. In accordance with the PAA and the General

Notice issued in terms thereof, I report the following findings relevant to performance against predetermined objectives, compliance with laws and regulations and internal control, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion.

Predetermined objectives 15. I performed procedures to obtain evidence about

the usefulness and reliability of the information in the annual performance report as set out on pages 23 to 99 of the annual report.

16. The reported performance against predetermined objectives was evaluated against the overall criteria of usefulness and reliability. The usefulness of information in the annual performance report relates to whether it is presented in accordance with the National Treasury’s annual reporting principles and whether the reported performance is consistent with the planned progamme. The usefulness of information further relates to whether indicators and targets are measurable (i.e. well defined, verifiable, specific, measurable and time bound) and relevant as required by the National Treasury Framework for managing programme performance information (FPPI).

The reliability of the information in respect of the selected programmes is assessed to determine whether it adequately reflects the facts (i.e. whether it is valid, accurate and complete).

17. The material findings are as follows concerning the usefulness and reliability of the information:

Usefulness of informationPresentationReasons for variances not supported by sufficient appropriate evidence18. The National Treasury Guide for the preparation

of the annual report requires that explanations for variances between the planned and reported (actual) targets should be provided in all instances and should also be supported by adequate and reliable corroborating evidence. Adequate and reliable corroborating evidence could not be provided for 32% of major variances as disclosed in the annual performance report. The department’s records did not permit the application of alternative audit procedures. Consequently, I did not obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to satisfy myself as to the reliability of the reasons for major variances.


188188


Reliability of informationReported performance not reliable19. The National Treasury FMPPI requires that

institutions should have appropriate systems to collect, collate, verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and complete reporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators and targets. Significantly important targets with respect to programme 2: Agriculture and Rural Development are materially misstated. This was due to the lack of standard operating procedures for the accurate recording of actual achievements and monitoring of the completeness of source documentation in support of actual achievements.

Compliance with laws and regulations 20. I performed procedures to obtain evidence that

the entity has complied with applicable laws and regulations regarding financial matters, financial management and other related matters. My findings on material non-compliance with specific matters in key applicable laws and regulations as set out in the General Notice issued in terms of the PAA are as follows:

Annual financial statements, performance and annual report21. The financial statements submitted for auditing

were not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of section 40(1)(a) of the PFMA. Material misstatements of disclosure items identified by the auditors were subsequently corrected.

Procurement and contract management22. Contracts and Quotations were awarded to

suppliers whose tax matters were not declared to be in order by the South African Revenue Services as required by TR 16A9.1(d) and the Preferential Procurement Regulations.

23. Goods and services with a transaction value below R500 000 were procured without obtaining the required price quotations, as required by TR 16A6.1.

24. Contracts and quotations were awarded to bidders who did not submit a declaration on whether they are employed by the state or connected to any person employed by the state, which is prescribed in order to comply with TR 16A8.3.

25. Contracts were awarded to suppliers who did not provide the department with B-BBEE certificate issued by the agency accredited by South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) or Registered Auditors approved by Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA) as required Preferential Procurement Regulations.”

26. Contracts were awarded to bidders based on preference points that were not correctly calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and its regulations.

Human Resource Management27. Employees were appointed without verifying

the criminal record checks as required by Public Service Regulation 1/VII/D8.

Expenditure management28. The accounting officer did not take effective steps

to prevent irregular expenditure as disclosed in note 25 to the annual financial statements as required by section 38(1)(c)(ii) of the PFMA and TR 9.1.1.

Asset management29. The accounting officer did not implement proper

control systems to safeguard and maintain assets, as required by section 38(1)(d) of the PFMA and TR 10.1.1(a).

Internal control30. I considered internal control relevant to my

audit of the financial statements, annual performance report and compliance with laws and regulations. The matters reported below under the fundamentals of internal control are limited to the significant deficiencies that resulted in the findings on the annual performance report and the findings on compliance with laws and regulations included in this report.


189189


Leadership31. The accounting officer did not adequately exercise

effective oversight over matters of compliance with law and regulations and ensuring that financial statements and performance reports are free from material misstatements.

Financial and performance management32. Management did not adequately review and

monitor compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

33. Management did not adequately review the annual financial statements and performance report prior to submission for audit purposes. As a result there were material misstatements in the annual financial statements which were identified by the audit.

OTHER REPORTSInvestigations34. Investigation relating to procurement irregularities

was completed and recommendation was submitted to the Accounting Officer for consideration and execution. However, due to the change of the Accounting Officer, the implementation of the recommendation was delayed.

NOTES TO THE APPROPRIATION STATEMENTfor the year ended 31 March 2013

1. Detail of transfers and subsidies as per Appropriation Act (after Virement):The department transfers funds to Municipalities, Universities and other institutions to implement some of its projects/programmes during a financial year. Examples of such projects/programmes are Continuation of Alien vegetation removal Project at Mogale city (Bamba manzi) and Elandsfontein (Wonga Manzi); building a pack house for Bantu Bonke Agricultural Project, Implementation of Research Agenda projects and Implementation of conservation agriculture projects (Water tanks); Biotechnology bursaries; the physiological constraints to animal production associated with home-sourced and formulated feed in small-scale farming operations in Gauteng and clearing, amongst others.

Detail of these transactions can be viewed in the note on Transfers and subsidies, disclosure notes and Annexure 1 (A-H) to the Annual Financial Statements.

2. Detail of specifically and exclusively appropriated amounts voted (after Virement):Included in the appropriation statement are the final funds appropriated per programme to the Department after shifts and virements have been taken into account.

Detail of these transactions can be viewed in note 1 (Annual Appropriation) to the Annual Financial Statements.

3. Detail on payments for financial assetsPayments for financial assets relate to the amount of debt written off during the 2012/13 financial year.

Detail of these transactions per programme can be viewed in the note on Payments for financial assets to the Annual Financial Statements.

Explanations of material variances from Amounts Voted (after Virement):Administration:The under spending of 0.01% amounting to R15 thousand under Administration is not material. The Programme was able to spend 99.99% of its allocated budget for the 2012-2013 financial year.

4. Agriculture and Rural Development:The under-spending of 0.66% under Agriculture and Rural development of R1,6million is due to the under spending on Transfers and Subsidies. The reason for this under-spending was that the Department originally budgeted for this transfer payment under Departmental Agencies and Accounts, but when we wanted to effect payment to South African Flower Export Council (SAFEC) the Standard Chart of Accounts (SCOA) had changed. The changes meant that SAFEC was not recognised as one of the Entities that could receive transfer payments under Departmental Agencies and Accounts. The SAFEC payment was subsequently processed under Goods and Services and not under Transfers and Subsidies. That consequently led to an under spending on Transfers and Subsidies and over-spending on Goods and Services.

Conservation:No under-spending for Conservation. This The Programme was able to spend 100% of its allocated budget for the 2012/13 financial year

Environment:The under-spending of 0.21% amounting to R135 thousand under Environment is not material. The Programme was able to spend 99.79% of its allocated budget for the 2012/13 financial year.

Notes to the Annual Financial Statements ending 31 March 2013 .............................................................. 273

267





Introduction1. I have audited the financial statements of the Cost

Recovery Trading Entity set out on pages 269 to 296, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2013, the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in net assets and the cash flow statement for the year then ended, and the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Accounting Officer’s responsibility for the financial statements2. The accounting officer is responsible for the

preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the South African Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (SA Statements of GAAP) and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No 1 of 1999) (PFMA), and for such internal control as the accounting officer determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor-General’s responsibility 3. My responsibility is to express an opinion on

these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), the General Notice issued in terms thereof and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those

risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

5. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

Opinion6. In my opinion, the financial statements present

fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Cost Recovery Trading Entity as at 31 March 2013, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the SA Statements of GAAP and the requirements of the PFMA.

Emphasis of matters 7. I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is


Restatement of corresponding figures8. As disclosed in note 13 to the financial statements,

the corresponding figures relating to payables and revenue for 31 March 2012 have been restated by R82 000 as a result of an error discovered during the year in the financial statements of the entity for the year ended 31 March 2012.

Additional matter9. I draw attention to the matter below. My opinion is

not modified in respect of this matter.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO THE GAUTENG PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE ON COST RECOVERY TRADING ENTITY

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

268





Unaudited supplementary schedules 10. The supplementary information set out on pages

254 to 264 does not form part of the financial statements and is presented as additional information. I have not audited these schedules and, accordingly, I do not express an opinion thereon.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS11. In accordance with the PAA and the General

Notice issued in terms thereof, I report the following findings relevant to performance against predetermined objectives, compliance with laws and regulations and internal control, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion.

Predetermined objectives 12. The entity’s performance objectives are included

as part of the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development’s annual performance report.

Compliance with laws and regulations 13. I performed procedures to obtain evidence that

the entity has complied with applicable laws and regulations regarding financial matters, financial management and other related matters. My findings on material non-compliance with specific matters in key applicable laws and regulations as set out in the General Notice issued in terms of the PAA are as follows:

Annual financial statements14. The financial statements submitted for auditing

were not prepared in accordance with the prescribed financial reporting framework as required by section 40(1)(a) of the PFMA. Material misstatements of revenue and payables identified by the auditors in the submitted financial statement were subsequently corrected, resulting in the financial statements receiving an unqualified audit opinion.

Revenue management15. The accounting officer did not review the scale of

tariffs for fees and charges at the time of preparing the budget and did not obtain approval from the relevant treasury for the tariff structure, as required by Treasury Regulation 7.3.1.

Internal control16. I considered internal control relevant to my audit of

the financial statements and compliance with laws and regulations. The matters reported below under the fundamentals of internal control are limited to the significant deficiencies that resulted in the findings on compliance with laws and regulations included in this report.

Leadership17. The accounting officer did not adequately exercise

effective oversight over matters of compliance with law and regulations and ensuring that financial statements are free from material misstatements.

Financial and performance management18. Management did not monitor compliance with

applicable laws and regulations on revenue management.

19. Management did not adequately review the annual financial statements prior to submission for audit purposes. As a result there were material misstatements in the annual financial statements which were identified by the audit.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ENDING 31 March 2013General Information Cost Recovery is a trading entity for Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and constitutes 0.33% of the operations of the Department. The cost of allocating operational expenses incurred on behalf of Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Cost Recovery Trading Entity (Cost Recovery) would exceed the benefit of so doing, furthermore the quantity of time spent on the operations that generate income for Cost Recovery are considered immaterial and therefore do not have a significant impact on Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

1. Summary of significant accounting policiesThe principle accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below and have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (SA GAAP) and in accordance with the following policies, which have been applied consistently in all material aspects, unless otherwise indicated. However, where appropriate and meaningful, additional information has been disclosed to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements and to comply with the statutory requirements of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999 (as amended by Act 29 of 1999), and the Treasury regulations issued.

The financial statements are prepared using the historic cost convention. Except as otherwise disclosed, these accounting policies are consistent with those applied in previous years.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (SA GAAP) requires the use of some critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to

exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas that required judgement in the process of application are disclosed in policy note 2.20.

The financial statements of the Cost Recovery have been prepared on a going concern basis.

1.2 New standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been issued but not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Cost Recovery.

IFRS 1 - First Time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

Amendment adds an exception to the retrospective application of IFRSs to require that first-time adopters apply the requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance prospectively to government loans existing at the date of transition to IFRS.

(Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: disclosure

Amendments require entities to disclose gross amounts subject rights of set-off, amounts set off in accordance with the accounting standards followed, and the related net credit exposure. This information will help investors understand the extent to which the entity has set off in its balance sheet and the effects of rights of set-off on the entity’s rights and obligations.


IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

The new standard forms part of a three-part project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

(Annual periods beginning on after 1 January 2015)

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements

274





The new standard replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated Separate Financial Statements. Standards builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor whether an entity should be included within consolidated financial statements of the parent company and provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where it is difficult to assess.


Amendments to the transition guidance of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests on Other Entities, thus limiting the requirements to provide adjusted comparative information.


IFRS 10 exception to the principle that all subsidiaries must be consolidated. Entities meeting the definition of ’Investment Entities’ must be accounted for at fair value under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, or IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.


IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

New standard deals with the accounting for joint arrangements and focuses on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. Standard requires a single method for accounting for interest in jointly controlled entities.



IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

This is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off

balance sheet vehicles.


New disclosures required for Investment Entities (as defined in IFRS 10)


IFRS 13- Fair Value Measurement

The standard provides new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements.


IAS1 - Presentation on Financial Statements:

The standard has requirements to group together items within OCI that may be reclassified to profit or loss section of the income statement in order to facilitate the assessment of their impact on the overall performance of the entity.

(Annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012)

Annual Improvements 2009 -2011 Cycle: Amendments clarifying the requirements for comparative information including minimum and additional comparative information required.


IAS 12 – Income Taxes

Rebuttable presumption introduced that an investment property will be recovered in its entirety through use.


IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment

Annual improvements 2009 – 2011 Cycle: Amendments to the recognition and classification of servicing equipment.


275





IAS 19 – Employee Benefits

Amendments to the accounting for current and future obligations resulting from the provision of defined benefit plans.


IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

The statement has consequential amendments resulting from the issue of IFRS 10, 11 and 12.


Requirement to account for interests in ‘Investment Entities’ at Fair value under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, or IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, in separate financial statements of a parent.


IAS 28 – investments in Associates

Consequential amendments resulting from the issue of IFRS 10, 11 and 12.


IAS 32 - Financial Instruments Presentation

The statement has amendments that require the entity to disclose gross amounts subject to rights of set-off, amounts set off in accordance with the accounting standards followed, and the related net credit exposure. This information will help investors understand the extent to which an entity has set off in its balance sheet and effects of rights of set-off on the entity’s rights and obligations.

Annual improvements 2009 – 2011 Cycle: Amendments to clarify the tax effect of distribution to holders of equity instruments.


IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting

Annual improvements 2009 – 2011 Cycle: Amendments to improve the disclosures for interim financial reporting and segment information

for total assets and liabilities. (Annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2013)

Other new standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations that have been issued by the Accounting Standards Board and are effective for the period beginning 1 March 2013 are not relevant to the current operations of the Cost Recovery.

1.3 Functional and presentation currency

All amounts have been presented in the currency of the South African Rand (ZAR), which is also the functional currency of the entity.

1.4 Rounding

Unless otherwise stated all financial data have been rounded to the nearest on thousand (R’000).

1.5 Foreign currency translation

Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year – end exchange rates are recognised (if any) in the statement of comprehensive income.

1.6 Impairment of assets

Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Cost Recovery Trading entity does not own any assets. Should the Trading entity acquire assets, the treatment in regard to impairment of assets will apply. The entity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets at each reporting date to determine the amount of the impairment, if any. If an indication is identified, the Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the asset in order to determine the amount of the impairment, if any.

Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount of the asset, or cash-generating unit, is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

276





Value in use is assessed by discounting the estimated future cash flows generated by the asset to the present value using a discounted rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset, or cash-generating unit, is determined to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset, or cash-generating unit, is reduced to its recoverable amount. The related impairment is recognised as an expense in surplus or deficit.

Where a change in the underlying circumstances indicates that a previously recognised impairment has subsequently reversed, the carrying mount of the asset, or cash-generating unit, is increased to the revised estimate of it recoverable amount.

Such reversal is limited to the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment been recognised for the asset, or cash-generating unit. The related reversal of the impairment is recognised in surplus or deficit.

1.7 Property, plant & equipment

Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Cost Recovery Trading entity does not own any assets. Should the Trading entity acquire assets, the treatment with regard to Property, plant & equipment will apply.

The cost of an item of property plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Property, plant and equipment would be measured initially at cost had the Entity had any PPE. After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they incurred. Depreciation would be charged so as to write off the cost of assets to residual values over its expected useful lives using the straight line basis.

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Computer equipment 3 years

Office equipment 5 years

Office furniture 7 years

Audio visual equipment 5 years

Residual values remaining useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and adjustments are made if appropriate.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater that its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

1.8 Intangible assets

An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance.

An asset is identifiable if it either:

a. is separable, i.e. is capable of being separated or divided from the Entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or together with a related contract, identifiable asset or liability, regardless of whether the Entity intends to do so; or

b. arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferable or separable from the Entity or from other rights and obligations.

An intangible asset is recognised if it is probable

277





that expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Costs associated with the acquisition of computer software are recognized as intangible assets. Computer software are amortised over their expected useful lives using the straight- line basis.

Estimated useful life:

Intangible assets (software) maximum 3 years.

The remaining useful lives and amortisation method re reviewed annually and adjustments are made if appropriate.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

1.9 Leasehold improvements

Leasehold improvements expenditure (If any) is capitalised and depreciated over the lease period of five years. The amount being depreciated is net of the tenant allowance due to the entity, which reduces the capitalised cost of the leasehold improvements. The tenants allowance due to the entity does not include VAT, as Cost Recovery is not registered for VAT purposes.

1.10 Financial Instruments

The Cost Recovery classifies its financial instruments based on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.

The Cost Recovery recognises a financial instrument in its statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value, including transaction costs.

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Less accumulated impairment losses.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. A financial asset is derecognised only when:

The right to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

The Cost Recovery retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without delay to a third party under a pass through arrangement; or

The Cost Recovery has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.

A financial liability is recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. For financial instruments measured at amortised cost, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the financial instrument is derecognised, and through the amortisation process. A financial asset and financial liability are only offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when the Cost Recovery currently has legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The statement of financial position includes financial assets classified as receivables.

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not

278





quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the statement of financial position date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Cost Recovery’s loans and receivables comprise “Receivables and Cash and cash equivalents” in the statement of financial position. Details included in note 2.11 and 2.12 respectively.

The statements of financial position include financial liabilities classified as payables.

Financial liabilities are non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The Cost Recovery financial liabilities at amortised cost comprise trade payables in the statement of financial position. Details included in note 2.13

1.11 Receivables

Receivables comprise Revenue from Protea hotels and environmental fines issued. Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Cost Recovery will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payment is considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.

The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Impairment losses are reversed when an increase in the financial asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date that the impairment is reversed

shall not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Subsequently recoveries of amounts previously written off are reversed directly and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

1.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents reflect bank balance.

Interest earned on the bank balance does not accrue to the Cost Recovery but to the Revenue fund of the Gauteng Provincial Government.

1.13 Trade payables

Trade payables comprise payments which are due to Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and expenditure incurred by Protea Hotel. Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised using the effective interest rate method.

1.14 Compensation of Employees

The accounting policy in terms of the compensation of employees is in line with the policy of the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development which is guided by the DPSA.

The Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural development charge Cost recovery a management fee because cost recovery does not appoint employees, all sort term employee benefits and post-retirement benefits, termination benefits as well along term employee benefits are covered by the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

1.15 Key management personnel

Compensation paid to key management personnel of Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is included in the management fee charge by the Department of Agriculture and Rural development.

1.16 Revenue recognition

Cost Recovery recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it

279





is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

Cost recovery generated revenue when costs are recovered with the delivery of services to the public. These services include:

• Section 24G fines - Revenue in this case is recognized only after the fine has actually been paid instead of when fines are issued. This is mainly because the recipient is given time to appeal the fine in a court of law.

• Imports and Export Permits - Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis.

• Veterinary Services - Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis.

• Accommodation and Entrance fees- Revenue is recognized if and when the actual service does take place.

Interest income is recognised on time- proportion basis using the effective interest method. When/ If a receivable is impaired, Cost Recovery will reduce the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

1.17 Transfer Payments

Revenue comprises the fair value of the transfer payment received [if any] from other institutions. Transfer payments are recognised when the right to receive such grants is established and there is reasonable assurance that Cost Recovery will comply with the conditions attached to it. They are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when received, or on a systematic basis over the periods necessary to match those with the related costs that they are intended to compensate.

1.18 Lease

Lease in which a significant portion of the risk and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments (if any) made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

The lease for the building is classified as an operating lease and payments made under the operating lease are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight- line basis over the period of the lease. The difference between actual lease payments and the amount recognised is shown as part of current liabilities.

The lease commitment for the future years is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, if any.

1.19 Commitments

Contracted commitments ( except for the lease of the building) be paid after 1 April 2011 are not recognised in the statement of financial position as a liability or as expenditure in the statement of comprehensive income but are included in the disclosure notes, if any.

These commitments are linked to specific service delivery contracts and are payable in future years.

Key areas of judgement in applying accounting policies.

The following key areas of judgement were required in preparation of the financial statements:

• The estimated useful lives of assets are based on its expected useful lives and are measured against the industry norms.

• Residual values of assets for the year amount to Nil, as Cost Recovery does not own any assets.

• Expenditure transferred from Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is inclusive of the management fees which is chargeable on a yearly basis as per the Cost Recovery policy

280





1.20 Unauthorised Expenditure

When confirmed unauthorised expenditure is recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position, until such time as the expenditure is either approved by the relevant authority, recovered from the responsible person or written off as irrecoverable.

Unauthorised expenditure approved with funding is derecognised form the statement of financial position when the unauthorised expenditure is approved and the related funds are received.

Where the amount is approved without funding it is recognised as expenditure in the statement of comprehensive income on the date of approval.

1.21 Fruitless and Wasteful expenditure

Fruitless and wasteful expenditure is recognised as expenditure in the statement of comprehensive income according to the nature of the payment and not as a separate line item on the face of the statement of comprehensive income. If the expenditure is recordable it is treated as an asset until it is recovered from the responsible person or written off as irrecoverable.

1.22 Irregular Expenditure

Irregular expenditure is recognised as expenditure in the statement of comprehensive income. If the relevant authority does not condone the expenditure it is treated as an asset until it is recovered or written off as irrecoverable.

1.23 Financial Risk Management

Financial Risk FactorsThe Cost Recovery’s activities expose it to some financial risks, most of which are managed through internal controls. Cost Recovery has direct access to its bank account, and cash management is performed.

Risk Management is carried out and monitored by the Risk Management unit in the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development under policies approved by the Head of Department. The Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development

has written principles for overall risk management. As a trading entity of the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, these principles apply to the Cost Recovery.

The most significant financial risks are related to reporting (inaccurate financial information that might result in inaccurate reporting and not meeting reporting deadlines in terms of PFMA) and financial systems (payment systems not aligned to business processes).

The risk of reporting was mitigated by the implementation of an independent financial package, enabling Cost Recovery to record financial information on an accrual basis, as opposed to the modified cash basis run by its parent department.

Market RiskFair value interest rate risk

The Cost Recovery does not have an interest – bearing asset for the 2012/2013 Financial year.

Credit RiskCredit risk was managed on a Departmental Basis and performed cash management and deposits with banks and financial institutions.

Trade and other receivables pledged as security:

The Cost Recovery does not hold any collateral as security.

Credit quality of financial assets neither past due nor impaired:

The credit quality of both financial assets is high.

Liquidity RiskFor the Cost Recovery, prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to meet its commitments. To a certain extent, the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development through its cash management programme covered this, if any.
