3. FOREWORD BY THE MEMBER OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL(MEC)

I take pleasure in presenting the Departmental Annual Report for

the financial year 2015/16, satisfied by the achievements

realized by this Department despite encountered service delivery

and organisational challenges.The agricultural sector in recent

times, on the back of severely sub-normal rainfall and heat

waves has met head-on with the drought. Having to see animals

die of hunger and fertile soil disappears in storms requires resilience and emotional

strength of a very special kind. The current drought is of such intensity and

magnitude that it was beyond the planning ability of any farmer, regardless of his

or her resource-base. While South African farmers compete in a fierce global

environment and have often been described as some of the best in the world, both

in terms of planning and production, the disaster that we now face is such that

farmers cannot and could not cope with it as part of normal risk-planning.

Statistics South Africa 2015 report stated that at least 14 million poverty stricken

families do not know where their next meal is going to come from. The year

2015/16 was declared the driest year in South Africa over a century and this has

adversely affected the state of food security. For the period under review, the

National Crop Estimates Committee anticipated harvest of just over 7 million tons

which is 29% lower than the previous year.

Furthermore, the Department marshalled a rewarding Provincial Dialogue with the

financial institutions with the aim of finding solutions to the current drought crisis.

Emanating from the Provincial Dialogue, a Provincial Task Team on Financing

Agriculture was established to examine and advance concrete remedial options that

will prepare farmers in the province the next planting season. The Dialogue further

highlighted the plight of South African farmers and brought to light the dire

consequences of an ailing agricultural sector.This was a reaffirmation by the

Hon M. Tlhape Executive Authority

10

department that immense work is at hand for the department in sustaining food

security.

The agricultural sector is an important purchaser of the products and services of

other sectors, which contribute to the manufacturing aspect of GDP. The decline in

agricultural production as a result of drought will inevitably influence activity in

these input sectors. The South African Agricultural Machinery Association (SAAMA)

has already reported that as at January 2016, yearly tractor sales were down 11%

and sales of combine harvesters declined by 30% as a result of drought.

Producers of seed have also reported severe increases in unsold maize seed stocks

that will not be fit for resale in the next production season.

The role of environmental development and management is precarious in our

province. It calls for a delicate balancing act as we ensure maximum and

sustainable use of our already strained resources. It is through this responsibility

that we aim to transform approaches on environmental protection while retaining

the balance for socio-economic development.

As one of the key players in the sector, we have been touched by the outpouring of

support from all corners of South Africa. We are propelled by the belief that the

agricultural sector belongs not only to the farmers of our country, but to every

South African. It is with this in mind that we urge our key players in government

and business to carry on with their support efforts and to continue to work closely

with the farmers as we recover from this disaster.

I wish to thank all stakeholders that have participated in compiling this Annual

Report and trust that we will, in the coming financial year, be able to devise

suitable remedial measures to deal with the after effects of the drought.

11

I hope this report shall meet the expectations of the public we serve, and shall

serve as a record of our contribution to halve poverty and create employment to

our people.

MEC of the Department of Rural, Environment and Agricultural Development

4. REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER

Overview of the operations of the department

Our organisational goal to achieve clean governance is still on track

for the issues that were raised by the Auditor General. The audit

action plan has been developed as per the timelines and programme

managers implemented their projects according the prescripts and

regulations.

As one of our three key mandates, Rural Development is about enabling rural people

to take control of their destiny, thereby dealing effectively with rural poverty through the

optimal use and management of natural resources. The department continued the roll

out of the CRDP to bridge the false dichotomy between the urban and rural space as well

as empowering vulnerable groups which included women, youth, unemployed, people

living with HIV/AIDS, people living with disabilities, child-headed households, and older

persons. Department facilitated Integrated development and social cohesion as part of

the CRDP through participatory approaches in partnership with all sectors of society.

In pursuit of the Rural Development mandate, department further ensured at least fifty

percent (50%) of both internal and external stakeholders contributed to the

implementation of the rural development programme in line with the Rural Development

Plan (technical and financial resources) during the 2015/16 financial year.

As per the published 2013 North West Environment Outlook report, the state of the

environment in the North West has unfortunately not shown much improvement over the

past five years. Although a range of policies, guidelines and regulations have been

published, effective change still needs to manifest.

Dr P.J. Mokaila Head Of Department

13

The identified „Tipping points‟ currently facing the North West Province to achieving

sustainability in the North West Province are:

A future without water

Competition for land by different land uses, which could comprise the “wise use”

of land

Climate Change impacts

Inadequate Waste management practices

The Environmental Services programme in NW READ responded to these challenges and

„tipping points‟ through implementing the gazetted NW Environmental Implementation

Plan (EIP) 2015-2020, which is required in terms of Chapter 3 of the National

Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998). The North West Environmental

Implementation Plan 2015-2020 contains specific targets and outcomes to be achieved

by different departments. It also specifies responsibilities and timeframes for the

implementation of the different actions identified. Furthermore, the targeted actions in

the NW EIP 2015-2020 are aligned with Outcome 10 Delivery Agreement.

The drought experienced during the period under review had a devastating effect on

South African agriculture. The existence of drought-induced recessionary pressures on

the agricultural sector during 2015 was confirmed by Statistics South Africa which

reported year-on-year declines in seasonally adjusted sectoral Gross Domestic Product

(GDP) for all of the first three quarters of 2015 (-18% in Q1; -19.7% in Q2 and -12.6%

in Q3).

The maize crop having been reported at a level of 9.9 million tons in 2015 (a tonnage

already significantly below the norm) contributed greatly to the reported decline in

sectoral value-add.

The severe drought has fastened its grip on the agricultural sector resulting in:

Natural grazing becoming seriously depleted leading to the forced slaughtering of

livestock, livestock deaths due to fodder unavailability and increasingly questionable

prospects for veld recovery in 2016

14

Reduced plantings of summer cash crops, particularly in the western regions. The

Crop Estimates Committee (CEC) has estimated that the area of maize planted for the

2015/16 season could total approximately 2 million hectares, 25% lower than the

area planted in the 2014/15 season

Extremely high temperatures especially in December 2015 and January 2016. These

above – normal temperatures have affected pollination in a number of areas

(including irrigation areas) and will likely result in lower yields

A looming grain deficit especially toward the second half of 2016 resulting in maize

import requirements of up to 3-5 million tons. This will undoubtedly place pressure on

South Africa‟s balance of payments.

A total of 21 717 farmers were assessed following the declaration of the disaster by Hon

Premier. Twenty five million (R25m) was appropriated for this program through funds

reprioritisation process. To date, 15 915 qualifying farmers emergency received fodder

relief assistance across the all affected areas in the province, 23 boreholes were sighted,

drilled and equipped, over 500 000 litres of water tankered to distress farms for

livestock. Besides this, 1 324 households were bolstered up on food security programs

and ninety six (96) awareness events were conducted on drought mitigation to our

farmers.

In consonance with the “Food and Nutrition Security Strategy”, the department created

ways for the North West people to feed themselves and ensured that the province is

food and nutrition secure. The Department has once more established 48 vegetable

tunnels in NgakaModiriMolema District through this programme.

Department‟s visibility in the Tswaing Local Municipality during March to extend food

security efforts and launch the Community Seedbank Project as part of our Annual

Extension and Advisory Services Conference did not go unnoticed. Work has been done

to erect food garden tunnels for the 67 households who are mainly elderly people,

orphans and child headed families and 11 institutions to the tune of R3 million. The

programme will be extended to supply an additional 126 households with vegetable seed

packets in order for food security efforts to bear fruits.

15

The commitment by the department to put into production 20 000 hectares of the

unused communal land still remains on course although not short of challenges. To

date, R14 million was spent on the 16 118ha of cropping lands in areas of Tswaing,

Mahikeng and Ditsobotla. The impact of drought limited our progress, and we salute our

farmers for their remarkable persistence to plant crop that suits the weather conditions

as well as rain patterns.

In the expansion of irrigation schemes across the province, 60 hectares in Taung

and Disaneng have been developed under irrigation and the provincial comprehensive

strategy was developed during the period under review.

Four sites have been identified to establish AgriParks. These areas include

Springbokpan, Vryburg, Moretele and Maquassi Hills (Klerksdorp). The infrastructural and

mechanical refurbishment of the Springbokpan Grain Value Chain AgriPark, have been

accomplished and the facility will be operational during this harvest period. In Dr. Ruth

SegomotsiMompati, stakeholder mobilization has taken place, and a site for the

establishment of the AgriPark has been identified. For the Bojanala AgriPark, a business

plan has been developed as well as identifying of key anchor projects to support it, while

Maquasie Hills consultations with key stakeholders is ensuing.

A total of twenty eight (28) Magosi in the Bokone Bophirima Province have benefitted

from the TshimoYaKgosi programme during the period under review. Benefits included

livestock and crop production mechanization packages to the tune of R11.2 million.

For the North West Nguni Cattle Development Program, 13 applications

benefitting five projects were approved during 2015/16 year. To date we have 89 project

sites with 196 beneficiaries and these include 64 women and 34 young people. Since its

inception, an estimated amount of R24 million has been invested into the project. We

treasure some beneficiaries who stood out amongst the rest and these include a family

of Medupe in Ventersdorp as well Moeketsi in Driehoek. Both Families have long returned

their loans but are still striving as Nguni Breeders. This has paid off handsomely, when

they prestigiously won the ARC Nguni Beef cattle Improvements Awards during 2015.

We greatly congratulate the two for their farming excellence.

16

As part of Departmental Livestock Improvement Plan anchored by quality tested

genetic material in partnership the Agricultural Research Council, a total of 52 bulls and

142 cows and heifers were distributed to farmers in Bojanala District, 41 bucks & 23

ewes for Dr Ruth SegomotsiMompati District.

The department successful embarked a third farmers’ Market in Mogwase, Bojanala

Platinum District as an effort to facilitate the survival of the small holder producers, who

might, when well-organised, share the envisaged market infrastructure and transport,

resulting in some economies of scale to their advantage.

Department has in the past year brought about the Driefontein Livestock Auction at

a cost of R1, 5 million. This is a first auction initiative in the rural communities and came

as result of continuous enormous challenges faced by communities in relation to market

access. The turnover in the very first auction was R1 548 365.00 (One million, five

hundred and forty eight thousand, three hundred and sixty five Rands). We appreciate

the role played by communities of Morokweng, Bona-Bona as well as Tseoge.

The year under review witnessed a very triumphant Bokone Bophirima Annual

Agricultural Show that was held at Kgora Farmer Training Centre with a total cost of

R6 million. The momentous event provided a golden opportunity for smallholder

producers to exhibit their products, knowledge and technologies. In branding the show,

an Agribusiness Legacy Development Project was launched to catalyse partnerships with

the private sector on the establishment of various Agricultural Business Enterprises for

Women and Youth. The show is geared to expand and diversify into a world class

Agricultural Growth and Investment Initiative for the coming season.

A call by our Premier during the SOPA 2016 address on the reviving of the VTSD

economies remains one of our priorities. Out of the 60% procurement target towards

these sites, we proudly report that 74% was achieved through goods and services

provision, key departmental events capital projects.

17

Department has in the past financial year initiated several agro-processing projects,

these include abattoirs, milling and feedlots in line with the Agripark approach and the

Provincial Agro-processing Strategy. Of the total amount of R58 million that was

budgeted for the projects, most of the funds were redirected to the drought relief

initiative. Despite the drought challenges, excellent progress was registered in the

implementation of the Bokone Meats and Monontsha Agro Projects in Klerksdorp and

near Magaliesberg in Bokone Bophirima respectively. These agro business enterprises

are meant to become game changers and catalysts in the area of commercial primary

livestock production and processing in the Province.The projects affected by drought will

continue into the new financial year and an amount of R43 million has been aside for

their implementation.

A total of R7.3 million was spent on three landcare projectscreating 369 green jobs for

the year under review in RamotshereMoiloa, Kagisano Molopo and Greater Taung Local

Municipalities. Work is still ongoing at the Comprehensive Rural Development

Programme sites (CRDP sites) with the cooperation of sister Departments and other

stakeholders.Department has as part of the Youth and Women sectors transformation

re-launched Women in Agriculture and Rural Development (WARD) as well as Youth in

Agriculture and Rural Development (YARD) structures.

Taung and Potchefstroom Colleges of Agriculture as well as Kgora Farmer Training

Centre are strategically placed to enhance the performance of our Province on the ideals

of the National Development Plan. As part of our expansion of farmer agricultural

training, we have established a Satellite Farmer Training Centre at Moretele. The Taung

Agricultural College and the Kgora Farmer Training Centre continues to enjoy its

accreditation status. Through the Danish HaldorTopsoe donation to Taung Agricultural

College towards it being a centre of excellence in irrigation agriculture, work on the soil

and water laboratory and the water reticulation system is at an advanced stage.

As part of maintaining our accreditation status we will continue with infrastructural and

other developments to the three sites which ensured that 50 students graduated at

Potchefstroom Agricultural College on mixed farming and 750 farmers were trained

18

during 2015/16. Further the first graduation ceremony for Taung Agricultural College will

take place in the month of May following the new accreditation curriculum on irrigation

agriculture.

As spelled out during the President‟s State of the Nation‟s address on Phakisa, the

province has made its mark through continued development of aquaculture and

inland fisheries. A provincial hatchery has been established in Disaneng. The facility

will be strengthened to meet the needs of the province.

As announced by the National Minister during the budget speech, the department has

signed into law the Compulsory Community Service throughout the rural areas for newly

qualified veterinarians. This saw a total of 11 newly qualified Veterinarians deployed with

the intention in increasing access of Veterinary Services to the Villages, Townships and

Small Dorpies.

Regarding veterinary interventions, department visited 12431 epidemiological units

throughout the province. This action was achieved through conducting 151 000 tests in

line with ISO 17025 standards. In facilitating exports, a total of 3 460 clients were

serviced for animal and animal products export control.

One of department‟s key achievements of note in the Environmental sector is the

publication of the North West Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) 2015. Air

quality is one of the pressures leading to climate change. In our attempt to make a

meaningful contribution towards the mitigation initiatives, the department in partnership

with the national Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), hosted a provincial

stakeholder consultation workshop in September 2015 in preparation for South

Africa‟s participation in the climate change negotiations at the United Nations Framework

Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP 21 in Paris, France.

Stakeholders were consulted on South Africa‟s Intended National Determined

Contribution(INDC). To date, the department managed to develop the North West

Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation strategies for the most vulnerable

19

sectors in the province. This work will culminate into an overall North West Climate

Change Response Strategy, which will be developed within the next two years.

The NW Environmental Implementation Plan EIP 2015-2020 was finalized and

gazetted in May 2015, as required by the National Environmental Management Act,

1998. It is worth noting that the North West province was the only province that

managed to achieve this milestone within the required timeframe in the country. This is

another effort in contributing towards the SaamwerkSaamtrek approach.

READ has successfully launched one momentous game transformation project in

partnership with the South African Rare Game Breeding Holdings in Kgetleng River Local

Municipality.

The management of tuberculosis in buffaloes within the Madikwe Game Reserve

has taken an absolute new turn through the approval of the plan by DAFF to pursue

cleansing option rather than direct culling which has vast consequences. The plan is set

to roll out from the 16th May 2016 through a team of experts for the next eighteen

months.

The work of the department on the restoration of the Taung Skull World Heritage

site is quite satisfactory. An amount of R33 million was spent on key deliverables

including construction of the road to Thomeng, water works at Buxton, Draaihoek,

Mokassa and Tamasikwa; protection of the core area to ensurethat the open and

sensitive caves that house historic information about the origins life are not destroyed by

animals.

Magaliesberg area has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by the United Educational

Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) during the period under review. This

declaration means that we will have improved management of landscapes, ecosystems

approaches for integrating the management of land, water and biodiversity for

conservation for a fair and sustainable use. Institutions and landowners will be

20

empowered on promoting sustainable development for socio-economic upliftment around

Biosphere.

The Department has also declared Molopo Oog and Rasoord as nature reserves and

these areas will be monitored for compliance.Furthermore,Groot Marico was declared

as a protected environmental site and the application process for listing it as a biosphere

is planned to commence this year.

Department has made strides in ensuring that the North West Biodiversity Bill is

developed. Further to this, we managed to develop and publish the NW Biodiversity

Sector Plan 2015 which will be used to inform spatial planning and decision-making on

developments in the province.In pursuit of the healthy and sound environment,

Department conducted 1 845 compliance inspections and 112 enforcement actions

were undertaken.

Regarding job creation efforts, department created a total of 484 EPWP Work

opportunities and 416 Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) through implementation of 16

projects during the 2015/16 financial year.

Amid delivery of services,the department also has a system to continually reflect on

accountability, fairness, and transparency in it‟s relationship with all stakeholders.

Department continued to reflect on its milestones in the commitments that we make on

procedures for proper supervision, control, and information-flows to serve as a system of

checks-and-balances.

Employment Equity statistics in relation to women at the Senior Management Service

(SMS) level have improved since last year and now stands at 39% to 61% males, as

compared to 34.7% females and 65.3% males in the previous reporting. It is the

intention of this department to continue ensuring that suitably qualified women are

employed in all vacant SMS positions. In our endeavour to ensure that this department

becomes representative of the population of this province, the department intends

prioritising women and people with disabilities when filling vacant posts.

The Internship and Learnership programmes are an integral part of our

department. Department has tailored departmental programs to offer our students

personal exposure to the real world and actual working life experience as an experiential,

foundation to their career choices. READ managed to train 20 interns who have

completed their 12 months in February 2016. In 2015/16 department had 12 full time

employees on learnership, 40 unemployed youth on learnership and 23 bursars.

4.1.3. Unauthorised, fruitless and wasteful expenditure

o Unauthorised expenditure:- The department has been allocated funds

through the provincial legislature to finance the write-off of the

unauthorised expenditure amount reported in the financial statements.

o Irregular expenditure:- The department closed the financial year with

irregular expenditure of R157 million during the financial year with R154

millions of this amount arising out of transactions with the contractor to

carry out infrastructure projects for the department. The irregularity arose

out of gaps in the contract with no losses suffered by the department.

o Fruitless expenditure:- A total of R111 000 was reported as fruitless

PART B:PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

38

1. AUDITOR GENERAL’S REPORT: PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES

The AGSA currently performs certain audit procedures on the performance

information to provide reasonable assurance in the form of an audit conclusion. The

audit conclusion on the performance against predetermined objectives is included in

the report to management, with material findings being reported under the

Predetermined Objectives heading in the Report on other legal and regulatory

requirements section of the auditor‟s report.

Refer to page 173 of the Report of the Auditor General, published as Part E:

Financial Information.

2. OVERVIEW OF DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE

2.1 Service Delivery Environment

Guided by the various assessments conducted by the province, major socio-economic

threats to sustainability in the North West were identified. These socio-economic

threats have great potential, if not addressed, to result in potentially adverse

consequences. The prevailing economic conditionsonly allowed us to prioritize and

direct resources to high impact government programmes during the period under

review.

As one of our three key mandates, Rural Development is about enabling rural

people to take control of their destiny, thereby dealing effectively with rural poverty

through the optimal use and management of natural resources. The department

continued the roll out of the CRDP to bridge the false dichotomy between the urban

and rural space as well as empowering vulnerable groups which included women,

youth, unemployed, people living with HIV/AIDS, people living with disabilities, child-

headed households, and older persons. Department facilitated Integrated

development and social cohesion as part of the CRDP through participatory

approaches in partnership with all sectors of society.

39

In pursuit of the Rural Development mandate, department further ensured at least

fifty percent (50%) of both internal and external stakeholders contributed to the

implementation of the rural development programme in line with the Rural

Development Plan (technical and financial resources) during the 2015/16 financial

year.

As per the published 2013 North West Environment Outlook report, the state of the

environment in the North West has unfortunately not shown much improvement over

the past five years. Although a range of policies, guidelines and regulations have been

published, effective change still needs to manifest.

The identified „Tipping points‟ currently facing the North West Province to achieving

sustainability in the North West Province are:

o A future without water

o Competition for land by different land uses, which could comprise the “wise use” of

land

o Climate Change impacts

o Inadequate Waste management practices

The Environmental Services programme in NW READ responded to these challenges

and „tipping points‟ through implementing the gazetted NW Environmental

Implementation Plan (EIP) 2015-2020, which is required in terms of Chapter 3 of the

National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998). The North West

Environmental Implementation Plan 2015-2020 contains specific targets and outcomes

to be achieved by different departments. It also specifies responsibilities and

timeframes for the implementation of the different actions identified. Furthermore, the

targeted actions in the NW EIP 2015-2020 are aligned with Outcome 10 Delivery

Agreement.

Despite the declining contribution of the Agricultural Sector to South Africa‟s GDP over

the past four decades, the agricultural sector remains a key player in the country‟s

economy. While a decline in rainfall has had an initial adverse physical impact on

primary agricultural production, drought shocks also have a range of second-round

effects given the strong linkages that exist between the agricultural sector and other

sectors of the economy.

40

South Africa is particularly vulnerable to the effects of drought as a result of the

importance of dry-land agricultural production. It is estimated that 83% of South

Africa‟s maize, 53% of the country‟s wheat crop and 73% of sugarcane are produced

under dry-land conditions. Commodities that comprise the agricultural sector have

been affected by the drought to varying degrees depending on their dominant

geographical locations and commodity-specific physiological requirements.

The drought experienced during the period under review had a devastating effect on

South African agriculture. The existence of drought-induced recessionary pressures

on the agricultural sector during 2015 was confirmed by Statistics South Africa which

reported year-on-year declines in seasonally adjusted sectoral Gross Domestic Product

(GDP) for all of the first three quarters of 2015 (-18% in Q1; -19.7% in Q2 and -

12.6% in Q3).The maize crop having been reported at a level of 9.9 million tons in

2015 (a tonnage already significantly below the norm) contributed greatly to the

reported decline in sectoral value-add.

The severe drought has fastened its grip on the agricultural sector resulting in:

o Natural grazing becoming seriously depleted leading to the forced slaughtering of

livestock, livestock deaths due to fodder unavailability and increasingly

questionable prospects for veld recovery in 2016

o Reduced plantings of summer cash crops, particularly in the western regions. The

Crop Estimates Committee (CEC) has estimated that the area of maize planted for

the 2015/16 season could total approximately 2 million hectares, 25% lower than

the area planted in the 2014/15 season

o Extremely high temperatures especially in December 2015 and January 2016.

These above – normal temperatures have affected pollination in a number of

areas (including irrigation areas) and will likely result in lower yields

o A looming grain deficit especially toward the second half of 2016 resulting in

maize import requirements of up to 3-5 million tons. This will undoubtedly place

pressure on South Africa‟s balance of payments.

41

In addition to the direct impact of the drought situation on the agricultural sector,

general economic indicators also currently point to an aggravated situation.

Upstream economic activity i.e. input providers have already been hard hit due to

the lack of purchasing power in the agricultural sector; a situation that is likely to

worsen given the import propensity of suppliers and a depreciating local currency.

Inflationary pressures inter alia resulting from drastic increases in food prices

could result in further increases in interest rates impacting negatively on the debt

service costs of farming enterprises and further restricting access to credit in the

sector.

The agricultural sector, as the main employer in rural areas, employs 897 000

people, which represents 4.2% of the South African labour force. The sector is

considered to be labour intensive as agriculture in South Africa employs more

people per unit of value created than the mining and manufacturing sectors.

While this bodes well for job creation in good production years, it also means that

the sector will shed more labour per unit decrease in the value of production.

While some shedding of labour by maize farmers can be expected due to reduced

farm incomes, the impact of this on overall employment levels is unlikely to be

significant. No significant job losses are expected in the horticultural and wine

producing industries provided that irrigation requirements are sustained.

2.2 Service Delivery Improvement Plan

The Service Delivery Improvement Plan (SDIP, 2015 - 2018) for the Department of

Rural, Environment and Agricultural Development is informed by 2015/20

StrategicPlanand is aligned to the Annual Performance Plan for 2015/2016. This SDIP

sets out the primary services areas that the READ intents to deliver on for the period

of the next three years.

INTRODUCTION

42

Key Service: Managing Brucellosis:

Bacterial disease of cattle caused by Brucellaabortus, which may cause abortions.

The disease is most commonly spread between herds by the movement of infected

animals and between animals by contact of susceptible animals with infective

discharges at the time of calving or abortion of infected animals, and for up to 1

month thereafter. Other less common means of spread occur.

In cattle the disease is controlled in terms of the Animal Diseases Act, 1984 (Act 35 of

1984) and by the Director of Animal Health.

A 10% abortion rate in a 100 cow herd can easily result in an annual loss of R600 000

plus to the dairy farmer and R240 000 plus to the commercial beef farmer. The loss in

an infected herd where no or few abortions occur will be as a result of decreased milk

production, extended inter-calving period and reduced sale value ofbreeding stock.

Key Service: Mitigating Drought

The Bokone Bophirima experienced frequency of drought in the recent years

The current drought started since 2002-03 until 2013-14, that left most of the farmers

devastated.

During the outlined drought period the national and provincial government assisted

with fodder.

Rainfall: From the previous report, the rainfall drastically reduced against average

precipitation andmost of the Province experience abnormal dry conditions.

Temperature: Province experienced extremely high temperature, minimum temp

ranging from 16°C- 22°Cand maximum 32°C - 43°C

The Impact Of Drought

Economic costs and losses to agricultural produces, annual and perennial crop

losses, damage to crop quality and Income loss to farmers due to reduced crop

yield.

43

Costs and losses to livestock producers

Reduced productivity of grazing lands,high costs/unavailability of water for

livestock,high costs/unavailability of feed for livestock mortality rate.

Mitigation and Remedial Factors to Drought

Pre-Disaster: Early Warning (Veld Fires, Floods) and awareness campaigns

Post-Disaster: Fodder supply, Water reticulation, Fire belts

LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR SDIP

The development of SDIP is formed by Section 195(5) OF THE South African

Constitution (1996) which states that the Public administration

Must be governed by the democratic values and principles, these principles are as

follows:

A high standard of professional ethics must be promoted and maintained

Efficient ,economic and effective use of resources must be promoted

Public administration must be development – oriented

Service must be provided impartially ,fairly, equitable and without bias

People’s needs must be responded to ,and the public must be encouraged to

participate in policy – making

Public barriers must be accountable

Transparency must be fosteredby providing the public with timely, accessible

and accurate information

Good human resource management and career – development practices to

maximise human potential, must be cultivated

70

Administration must be broadly representative of the South African people,

with employment and personnel management

Practices based on ability, objectivity, fairness and the need to redress the

imbalances of the past to achieve broad representation.

The implementation of these principles is governed by a regulatory framework,

which includes the following (but not limited to)

Public Service Act, 1994(Act no 103 of 1994)

Public Service Amendment Act, 1999 (Act no. 5 of 1999)

Public Service Commission Act 1997 (Act no, 46 of 1997)

Promotion of Administrative Justice act, 2000 (Act no 3 of 2000)

White paper on the Transforming Public Service delivery (Batho Pele),1997

Service delivery improvement plan (SDIP) objectives

THE SDIP AIMS 2015/2018 TO:

Outline the key service that the Department provides

Identify the service beneficieries along with the key services

Identify the key service that the department will focus on improving

Provide the current standards for the focus service

EXTENSION SERVICES

The Province experienced frequency of drought in the recent years. The current

drought started since 2002- 03 until 2013-14, that left most of the farmers

devastated

Rainfall : From the previous report, the rainfall drastically reduced against

average precipitation and most of the Province experience abnormal dry

PROBLEM STATEMENT

71

conditions. So the impact of drought is very heavy on farmers and the

department.

The Loss caused by drought

Crop (940 000 Ha)

Livestock (970 000 LSU’s)

VETERINARY SERVICES

Bovine Brucellosis

Providing the introduction of Bovine Brucellosis Schemes as a measure to

mitigate the economic consideration and public health hazard implications it

imposes to the farmers and community as a whole, whereby10% abortion rate in

100 cow herd results in an annual loss of R600 000 in a dairy farmer and

R240 000 loss in a beef herd.

Infected herds where no or few abortions occur will be as a result of decrease in

milk production, extended inter-calving period and reduced sale value of breeding

stock, as well as inter-fertility, loss of genetically superior, adapted replacement

heifers (50% of all calves aborted are heifers), loss of all maintenance costs (

nutrition, health management, etc.) whereby an aborted cow has to be

slaughtered and not sold for auction and the public health danger of which its

prevalence in humans is unknown.

AREA OF EMPROVEMENT

KEY SERVICE – Nguni Projects -Communal Farmers (to detect a

plan/policy in the Province to deal with disease status) - Commercial

Farmers (to find a way to reduce the infection rate in the farms)

Develop a Policy for Brucella control within the Province - (Test all animals

before Auctions and movement of animals be restricted even within

72

theprovince– farmers should be work-shopped about the Animal Disease Act, Act

no. 35 of 1984, have their own copies especially the section which stipulates the

livestock owner’s responsibilities and the prosecution part from the Act regarding

farmer who does not comply with the Act. Special workshop be arranged to

educate farmers.).

All farms have to be Accessed and No Voluntary Scheme Joining. all farms

to be tested annually- Only farmers who has joined the Brucellosis and

Tuberculosis Schemes are entitled to be tested by Government only one time when

they enter the Scheme and from there it is up to a farmer to carry on with the tests

and mostly they are the Dairy and Beef farmers, so other livestock owners who do

not farm for business, don’t deem it necessary to join and they are mostly the ones

who comes up with such problems. Therefore all farmers must be forced to join

the schemes regardless of farming for business or not

According to the Policy, Testing and Culling is the only way to Control- If

there could atleast be Compensation for Culling process, if one cow culled could be

replaced by another CA free cow brought by the Department to the farmer.

If all herds of cattle brought in for the projects to farmers for their own

benefit- If all the herds brought could firstly produce their FREE Herd Certificate

before being transported to the farmers and if not, then have to be tested by our

AHTs before they brought to the farmers to put them together with their livestock.

STRATEGIES FOR MITIGATING PRODUCTION

CROP PRODUCTION

Choose the correct soil type for the crop being planted.

Choose fields with fewer gradients to minimize water runoff.

Coarse soil surface can minimize evaporation.

Choose drought resistant cultivars.

Practice crop rotation.

73

LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

Retain young best females and cull poor old and unproductive animals.

Provide suitable licks, and other suitable supplementary feed to maintain

nutrition.

Postpone the breeding periods during extreme dry conditions.

Spread water points in camps to avoid over grazing.

Eradicate invader plants.

Avoid over-stocking and over grazing.

Firebreaks must be constructed and be maintained.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The document will be monitored through inspections, be part of them same times

when they do awareness campaigns and quarterly submission of reports.

2.3 Organisational environment

As in the past, the department has strong communication linkages with key

stakeholders. The need to deepen integration and cooperation with other

Departments, as well as district and local municipalities, remains a vital ingredient

towards the ultimate and effective development of the agricultural and rural

development sectors.

The total number of approved posts is 2 148 with 1 635 posts filled and 514

vacancies. The current vacancy rate is at 24%. The department requires robust

recruitment and retention strategies so as to employ and retain proficient personnel

possessing scarce and critical skills necessary to deliver quality services to

departmental clients.

74

Departmental organogram is currently being reviewed to align to sector priorities

and envisaged to be concluded by the end of March 2017. Posts must be widely

advertised so as reach an adequate pool of both external applicants as well as

internal employees without exception due to the principle of open competition.

Vacancies took on the average more than 3 months to fill and the departmental

retention policy is being implemented.

In order to professionalise the department, there is a need for stability in leadership,

sound human resource policies and systems, skilled workers, clear lines of

accountability, appropriate systems and strategies to upgrade skills and improve

coordination. To solve technical skills shortage, the department must also develop

skills it needs through career-pathing and mentoring. This was identified as a major

priority in both Outcome 12 Delivery Agreement for 2009-2014 and the NDP. The

2015-2020 MTSF therefore builds on both these documents in identifying how

departments covered by Outcome 12 can provide effective support to sector

departments.

A number of changes are envisaged to improve capacity and enhance service

delivery as outlined in the Delivery Agreements for Outcomes 4,7,10 and 12 of

Government’s Programme of Action.The envisaged revised organisational structure

will of course increase department’s capacity to support government’s strategic

thrust of comprehensive rural development programme and to address the identified

challenges in the rural, environment and agriculture sectors. This organisational

structure will further reinforce the systems and processes of the Department and

management structures at all levels.

Other management related issues which will be prioritized during the next financial

year include employment of skilled personnel, ensuring compliance to government

prescripts as a whole and improve our capacity to serve our client base.

75

As part of the Departmental Risk Management Plan, department currently has

identified the following high priority risks with potential to hinder achievement of

predetermined objectives and targets set out in the Annual Performance Plan:

2.4 Key policy developments and legislative changes

Rebranding, Repositioning and Renewal (RRR) is the policy thrust adopted by the 5th

administration to support the realization of the NDP objectives. It is anchored on the

following five (5) developmental concretes:

1. Agriculture, Culture and Tourism (ACT):- three anchors of economic

growth (6%) especially in rural areas where poverty, unemployment and

inequality is very high.

2. Villages, Townships and Small Dorpies (VTSD) :- to address the skewed

economic landscape in the province by ensuring that the previously

marginalized villages, townships and small dorpies are developed and

economically vibrant

No Risks description Programmes

1 Inadequate compliance to Policy and Planning framework.

3 Inadequate infrastructure project management 2;3;4;5;6;7;8 & 9

4 Poor financial planning and budget management. 2;3;4;5;6;7;8 & 9

5 Inadequate implementation of the CGICTPF requirements.

Risk management and Information Technology (Programme 1)

6 Inability of the Department to provide sufficient and rapid response /assistance on Natural Disaster to Departmental Clients.

2;3;4;5;6;7;8 & 9

7 Lack of integrated planning of climate change aspects into Provincial and Local plans.

2;3;4;5;6;7;8 & 9

76

3. Reconciliation, Healing and Renewal (RHR): - The RHR seeks to bring

together the people of the Bokone-Bophirima (Black and White) and to

engage and deal with issues of moral and social cohesion, past experiences

and pains emanating from the past era of oppression, conflict and racial

hatred

4. Setsokotsane: - Setsokotsane is an approach to service delivery that

promotes comprehensive, quality, effective and efficient delivery of services

that contributes to a self-reliant society

5. SaamtrekSaamwerk Philosophy:- collaboration with the religious,

business and other critical sectors of our society to pull our resources

together for the common good of the province

PART C: GOVERNANCE

139

1. INTRODUCTION

Corporate governance embodies processes and systems by which public entities are

directed, controlled and held to account. In addition to legislative requirements

based on a public entity’s enabling legislation, and the Companies Act, corporate

governance with regard to public entity’s is applied through the precepts of the

Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and run in tandem with the principles

contained in the King’s Report on Corporate Governance.

Parliament, the Executive and the Accounting Authority of the public entity are

responsible for corporate governance.

2. RISK MANAGEMENT

Departmental Risk Management Policy and Strategy:- The department

has an approved risk management policy and approved risk management

strategy, which is regularly reviewed to oversee the relevance of operations and

appropriate compliance with the risk management strategy. The Centralised

Internal Audit section in the Province is requested by the Department, to conduct

bi-annual audits on the level of compliance against the risk management policy

and strategy to ensure that the department is consistently compliant with its

requirements of which both internal and external audit results are communicated

to the EID Cluster Audit Committee and Centralised Audit Committee of the

Province as a management oversight function and appropriate checks and

balances in risk operations.

Departmental Regular Risk Assessments to determine the effectiveness of

its risk management strategy and to identify new and emerging risks:- The

department is conducting regular risk assessments which commence at operational

level per business unit, and then result in a collective risk database of

information(incorporating strategic risks, operational risks, ethic risks, fraud risks,

140

project risks etc.) which is used at a strategic risk assessment exercise where

management analyse the information from an informed decision making basis and

collectively decide on the top 10 risks or top high risk priority levelsof the

department. This risk database information, incorporating the MPAT Improvement

plan and the final top 10 risk register or top high risk prioritiesof the department;

including the entire process that unfolded to collect the information is compiled

within the risk profile of the department which is approved for implementation by

the Accounting Officer.

The top 10 risk register or top high risk prioritiesare used to monitor and track

progress of implementation and to analyse the mitigation trend in the department.

Progress and action against the top 10 risk registerof top high risk priorities is

monitored on monthly basis and the results are communicated on quarterly basis to

the Accounting Officer, Provincial Risk Management Forum, Provincial Internal Audit,

the EID Cluster Audit Committee and Centralised Audit Committee of the Province.

Any recommendations emanating from these structures are immediately

implemented to ensure compliance with operations, regulations and the applied risk

management strategy within the department.

Risk Management Committee that advises management on the overall

system of risk management, especially the mitigation of unacceptable

levels of risk:- The Department reviewed its Risk Management Committee

extensively to establish a Governance Risk Management Committee (GRMC) that will

host all fragmented governance operations (such as Risk Management, Professional

Ethics, Fraud Prevention, ICT Governance, PAIA, Internal and External Audit

recommendations etc.) and establish an integrated cooperative governance system

within the Department. The Governance Risk Management Committee was

appointed by the Executive Authority with the Chairperson being an independent

external memberwith 2 additional External Members. The Committee’s membership

comprise of both internal and external members to ensure an objective oversight

body over the risk and governance operations within the department for sound

corporative governance within the department. The concept strategy of the GRMC

141

was approved by the Accounting Officer and the following inception documents were

developed for the establishment of the committee operations:

Terms of Reference / Constitution of the Governance Risk Management

Committee;

Service Level Agreement for the External Chairperson appointment;

Service Level Agreement for the two External Committee members appointments;

Standard appointment letters for the normal internal and external membership of

the Committee;

Declaration of interest and confidentiality forms for disclosures;

High level Action plan for the execution of the committeedeliverables;

Standard Operating Procedure Manual for the secretariat and committee

operations;

All Committee members were formally appointed with a proper job description in

terms of their roles and responsibilities that should be executed in line with the

Committee Charter.

All the various Risk, Fraud, Ethics, Governance, ICT Champions etc. were formally

appointed with proper job descriptions in terms of their roles and responsibilities

that should be executed in line with the Committee Charter.

Meetings were hosted.

Resolution registers were compiled to track progress on operations.

In addition, the Department is reporting its risk operations on quarterly basis to the

Accounting Officer, Provincial Risk Management Forum, Provincial Internal Audit,

EMC, DMC, EDMC,EID Cluster Audit Committee and the Centralised Audit Committee

in the Province for appropriate management oversight, to assess compliance and to

advice or make recommendations to the department for immediate implementation

and adherence of which results are monitored and assessed at these structures at

the next upcoming meeting.

Audit Committee advises the department on risk management and

independently monitors the effectiveness of the system of risk

management:- On quarterly basis the Accounting Officer reports to the Audit

142

Committee on its governance and risk operations, of which the Audit committee is

making recommendations for immediate implementation by the department, after

which progress is monitored and assess by the Audit Committee at the next

upcoming Audit Committee meeting.The department is fully compliant as per the

outcomes.

Progress in the management of risks, whether this has transmitted into

improvements in the department’s performance, and if not, what it plans

on doing to address this problem:- Tremendous progress had been assessed by

the Department, as the governance and control environment had been extensively

strengthened, so much so that the Department is on annual basis improving on its

internal and external audit reports with lessor audit findings and control deficiencies,

and the department is also on the verge of obtaining a clean audit opinion through

the Auditor-General. In addition the Department are the best performing

Department within the recent MPAT audit in the North West Province for the past

two consecutive years and the leader on Governance, Risk Management, Fraud

Prevention, ProfessionalEthicsand ICT Governance. The department also received

several level 4 compliance scores in terms of Supply Chain Management, Financial

performance, employee wellness and the pilot project in terms of the

Implementation of the Promotion to Administrative Justice Act (PAJA). The

Department performance were also acknowledged by DPSA as one of six (6)

Departments in the Country being part of the 5.38% that are fully compliant with

the Auditor General’s requirements on ICT Governance, whereby 94.62% of

departments are failing.

3. FRAUD AND CORRUPTION

The department’s fraud prevention plan and the progress made in

implementing the fraud prevention plan:- The Department has an

approved Fraud Prevention Plan and Strategy which is regularly reviewed.

Specific policies had also been approved for Whistle-Blowing, Ethics

Management, Gifts, donations, hospitality and sponsorship to ensure appropriate

compliance.

143

The department is regularly hosting Governance awareness campaigns to

educate officials on risk management, fraud prevention, professional ethics,

information management, information privacy, information security, ICT

Governance and Cyber Crime. Flyers, brochures and newsletter articles are

circulated with case studies to officials to educate and serve as elimination to the

risk of potential fraud incidents.

Circulars are issued and random assessments are conducted on financial

disclosures and possible 3rd party transactions to identify potential business

conflict of interests. Incidents are investigated and disciplined in accordance and

reports are provided to the Accounting Officer and relevant structures such as

the Office of the Premier and the Public Service Commission. There were a

tremendous improvement on the systems established as the general internal

control environment, governance control environment, risk and ethics culture had

improved as the level of conflict of interests had declined including the number of

misconduct cases and hotline case incidents which are a tremendous

improvement on the ethical control environment.

A register of the Code of Conduct circulation within the department is kept. A

survey questionnaire is developed to assess the level of understanding of officials

on anti-corruption aspects and to assess the governance compliance level in the

organisation. These survey results are incorporated into the Risk Profile of the

organisation of which fraud risks and ethics risks are incorporated for appropriate

mitigation strategies. The level of education of officials between what is right and

what is wrong had tremendously improved based on the governance programme,

including the level of volunteered participation towards the governance

questionnaire had improved.

The department encourages key fraud prevention initiatives as it tend to

minimise the impact, number of incidents, nature, type and seriousness of a case

reported including the cost implications to recover after an incident had been

144

identified. This approached had healed positive results, as the number and

incidents had declined within the department and most incidents reported deals

with petty matters that are not corruption related, which also declined. In

addition the Department were the best performer in the North West Province for

the part 3 consecutive years on the MPAT audit including various programmes in

Financial Management, Governance, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention,

Professional Ethics and ICT Governance.

The department also received clean audit reports on Fraud Prevention, ethics,

risk and governance from Provincial Internal Audit as the shared Internal Audit

division in the Province.

Mechanisms in place to report fraud and corruption and how these

operate.eg: Whistle blowing - The need for officials to make

confidential disclosure about suspect fraud and corruption:- Whistle-

blowers are encouraged to use the listed agencies available for whistle-blowing

operations to encourage openness, transparency, un-biased objectivity and to

ensure protection on disclosures at all times. Internal structures within the

department are also available if preferred by the Whistle-blower to be used. The

Department also established a customer call centre were customer complaints

can be raised, to ensure that quality services are rendered to the public.

How are cases reported and what action is taken:- Cases or incidents are

reported to the listed agencies and referred to the department or an alternative

agent for investigation depending the nature and seriousness of the incident or

case that was reported. Each case or incident receives a unique case number or

reference.

The Public Service Commission and the Office of the Premier enquires regular

progress on these cases through reports until the case had been finalised for which

the Accounting Officer is the responsible official to issue account of its case

operations. Feedback is communicated by the Public Service Commission back to the

relevant agent that reported the case or incident to the Public Service Commission.

145

The Department takes appropriate disciplinary measures in accordance with the

type, the nature and seriousness of the transgression. In the past years and for the

period under review the Department took drastic action against officials in conduct in

relation to the type, seriousness and nature of the transgression at the time.This

resulted in a tremendous decline in case incidents.

4. MINIMISING CONFLICT OF INTEREST

To encourage transparency with regards to conflict of interest, all Departmental Bid

Committee members make verbal and written declaration of interests before each

meeting on the submissions to be tabled. All members of the bid committees subscribe

to a code of conduct of Bid Committees which is issued to each member upon

appointment to refrain from transactions that could lead to conflicts of interest while they

hold that office. Furthermore, the Department has adopted the Code of Conduct for SCM

practitioners issued by the National Treasury which all SCM practitioners have signed.

The Department recorded no conflicts for the year under review.

In addition, at the beginning of each financial year, all senior managers in the

Department sign a financial disclosure form declaring all their financial interests to the

Executive Authority.100% of SMS members are compliant towards their disclosures for

the past three consecutive years.

Policies on Fraud Prevention, Ethics Management, Gifts, donation, hospitality and

sponsorships, Whistle-blowing and Admin Circular directives were issued to manage

conflict of interests in the department. A gift register were also introduced to ensure

that officials comply and adhere to the Public Service Act and Regulations.

5. CODE OF CONDUCT

The Department is enforcing the Code of Conduct of the Public Service in the

Department, as it is regularly circulated in a pocket seize booklet format and

educated to officials through road shows, campaigns and brochures. A register is

kept of officials in acceptance of the Code of Conduct as a pledge.

146

Professional Ethics behaviour in the workplace had been educated to officials

through Governance Awareness campaigns and brochures on Professional Ethics.

The department considers ethics risks within its risk profile as part of its mitigation

strategies to minimise and limit the exposure. With the Professional Ethics methods

used in the department, the governance - and control environment had

tremendously improved with lessor control deficiencies detected by the Auditor-

General in its audit report and a general decline in the reported incidents of corrupt

practices in the workplace. This approach further assisted the department to start

building integrity in business dealings of which the department is on a verge of

obtaining a clean audit opinion to build on its reputation.

In addition the Department were also the best performing Department for the past

three consecutive years on the MPAT audit in the North West Province including

various Key Performance Areas. If a serious breach is identified with the contractual

agreement of the employer or in accordance with any of the provisions listed within

the Code of Conduct, such cases are referred for investigation and disciplinary

measures are taken in accordance with the type, nature and seriousness of the

transgression. In the past dismissals were affected or a final written warning.

6. HEALTH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) inspections were conducted in the

Department to eliminate hazards and occupational health risks in the Department.

First aid cases were attended to, to assist clients who sustained minor injuries at

work. COIDA cases were handled and taken to compensation houses.

There is a challenge of non compliance on OHS inspection reports/recommendations

in the Department. Poor maintenance of Departmental buildings is also a long

standing challenge. The Department is experiencing backlog of COIDA due to slow

responses from the Compensation House.

147

The state of the compliance of the Agricentre building is still unresolved, however

the department attended to these anomalies on a case by case to avert worsening of

the conditions. Department of Public Works has initiated a process for seeking

alternative office accommodation.

7. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEES

All the scheduled dates and meetings of the Portfolio Committee on Agriculture and

Rural Development were honoured by the Department. This also included the

submission of all the reports requested by the Portfolio Committee

8. SCOPA RESOLUTIONS

There were no scopa resolutions during 2015/16 financial year.

148

9. PRIOR MODIFICATIONS TO AUDIT REPORTS

There were no prior modifications to Audit reports

10. INTERNAL CONTROL UNIT

The unit is located in Office of the Chief Financial Officer, due to the compliance

challenges experienced in the past a focal point for the year under review was

internal control measures. All transactions are tested at the point of entry or

transaction level for compliance test.

Furthermore, a committee was established to assess all irregular expenditure

incurred for recommendation to the Accounting Officer to either regularise, refer for

further investigation and/or institute necessary disciplinary actions. The process has

yielded positive results as the prior years’ irregular expenditure has reduced

significantly, and the current year was curbed at a minimal level.

11. INTERNAL AUDIT AND AUDIT COMMITTEES

Key activities and objectives of the internal audit

Key activities:

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity

designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It helps an

organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach

to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and

governance processes.

Key objectives:

Provide a value add risk based internal audit service to the department.

149

Summary of audit work done

For the financial year under review 26 assurance and advisory reports were issued to

the Department. Work performed was based on a risk based internal audit plan and

included audits of: risk management; supply chain management; financial

statements; report on pre-determined objectives; IT governance; and audit action

plans (both internal and external). The audit work performed indicated that in

certain audit areas deficiencies in internal control, risk management and governance

processes exist and that this will require improvement on by the Department

through timely and adequate implementation of agreed upon audit action

plans.

Audit Committee Responsibility

151

The Audit Committee reports that it has complied with its responsibilities arising

from section 38(1) (a) (ii) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulation 3.1.

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

In line with the PFMA, Internal Audit provides the Audit Committee and management

with assurance that the internal controls are appropriate and effective. This is

achieved by evaluating internal controls to determine their effectiveness and

efficiency, and by developing recommendations for enhancement or improvement.

From the various reports of the Internal Auditors and audit report of the AGSA it was

noted that matters were reported indicating deficiencies in the system of internal

controls in areas pertaining to reporting on pre-determined objectives and

compliance with laws and regulations

Through our analysis of audit reports and engagement with the Department we can

report that the system on internal control for the period under review was adequate

and effective except for the above mentioned

A matter of concern for the Audit Committee is that the department is currently not

timely implementing all Internal Audit action plans agreed upon.

Based on the quarterly reviews performed, the departmental fraud and risk

management system is adequate but not effective.

In-Year Management and Quarterly Reporting

The Provincial Treasury has confirmed that the department has reported to the

Treasury as is required by the PFMA. The quality of the in-year performance

reporting including interim financial statements are however a concern to the Audit

Committee.

152

Evaluation of Financial Statements

The Audit Committee reviewed the draft annual financial statements prepared by the

department and advised the accounting officer to ensure that all the review notes

and comments of the Internal Audit and Audit Committee are fully addressed prior to

submission of the annual financial statements to the Auditor General South Africa.

The Audit Committee has:

reviewed and discussed the external audit outcomes on the audited annual

financial statements to be included in the annual report, with the Auditor

General South Africa and the Accounting Officer,

reviewed the Auditor General South Africa’s management report and

management’s responses thereto, and

reviewed significant adjustments resulting from the audit.

Evaluation of reporting on pre-determined objectives

The Audit Committee reviewed the draft annual report prepared by the department

and advised the accounting officer to ensure that all the review notes and comments

of the Internal Audit and Audit Committee are fully addressed prior to submission of

the annual report to the Auditor General South Africa.

The Audit Committee has discussed the external audit outcomes on the reporting on

pre-determined objectives to be included in the annual report with the Auditor

General South Africa and the Accounting Officer.

Internal Audit

153

The Audit Committee is satisfied that the Internal Audit function operated effectively

during the year under review. The Audit Committee also notes that the deficiencies

in the risk management system mentioned above impact on the implementation of

the risk based audit approach.

Auditor General South Africa

We have reviewed the department’s implementation plan for audit issues raised in

the previous year and we are satisfied that all the matters except irregular

expenditure have been adequately resolved.

The Audit Committee is not aware of any unresolved issues with respect to the

current audit.

The Audit Committee concurs with the Auditor General South Africa's opinion on the

annual financial statements.

1. REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL

Report of the auditor-general to the North West provincial legislature

on vote no. 13:the Department of Rural, Environment and Agricultural

Development

Report on the financial statements

Introduction

1. I have audited the financial statements of the Department of Rural, Environment and

Agricultural Development set out on pages 176 to 230 which comprise the appropriation

statement, the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2016, the statement of

financial performance, statement of changes in net assets, and cash flow statement,

comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

information.

Accounting officer’s responsibility for the financial statements

2. The accounting officer is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these

financial statements in accordance with the Modified Cash Standard (MCS) prescribed

bythe National Treasury and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of

South Africa, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA) and the Division of Revenue Act of South

Africa, 2015 (Act No. 1 of 2015) (DoRA)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.

171

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 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 materialmisstatement.

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.

Opinion

6. In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the

financial position of the Department of Rural, Environment and Agricultural Development

as at 31 March 2016 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then

ended, in accordance with the MCS prescribed by the National Treasuryand the

requirements of the PFMAand theDoRA.

Emphasis of matter

7. I draw attention to the matter below. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

172

Irregular expenditure

8. As disclosed in note 31 to the financial statements, irregular expenditure of

R157 452 000 was incurred in the current year.

Additional matter

9. I draw attention to the matter below. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Unaudited supplementary schedules

10. The supplementary information set out on pages 230 to 237 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 requirements

11. In accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA)

and the general notice issued in terms thereof, I have a responsibility to report findings

on the reported performance information against predetermined objectives for selected

programmes presented in the annual performance report, compliance with legislation

and internal control. The objective of my tests was to identify reportable findings as

described under each subheading but not to gather evidence to express assurance on

these matters. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion or conclusion on these matters.

Predetermined objectives

12. I performed procedures to obtain evidence about the usefulness and reliability of the

reported performance information for the following selected programmes presented in

the annual performance report of the department for the year ended 31 March 2016:

Programme 3: Farmers support and development on pages 100 to 104

Programme 8: Rural development coordination on pages 117 to 121

Programme 9: Environmental service on pages 121 to 132

13. I evaluated the usefulness of the reported performance information to determine whether

it was presented in accordance with the National Treasury’s annual reporting principles

173

and whether the reported performance was consistent with the planned programmes. I

further performed tests to determine whether indicators and targets were well defined,

verifiable, specific, measurable, time bound and relevant, as required by the National

Treasury’s Framework for managing programme performance information (FMPPI).

14. I assessed the reliability of the reported performance information to determine whether it

was valid, accurate and complete.

15. The material findings in respect of the selected programmes are as follows:

Programme 3: Farmers support and development

Reliability of reported performance information

16. The FMPPI requires auditees to 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 were not reliable when compared to the source information or evidence provided.

This was due to limited review and monitoring of the completeness of source

documentation in support of actual achievements and frequent review of the validity of

reported achievements against source documentation.

Programme 8: Rural development coordination

Usefulness of reported performance information

17. A total of 30%indicators did not relate logically and directly to an aspect of the auditee’s

mandate and the realisation of strategic goals and objectives as per the five year

strategicplanas required by the FMPPI.

Programme 9: Environmental services

18. I did not identify any material findings on the usefulness and reliability of the reported

performance information for this programme.

Additional matter

19. I draw attention to the following matter:

174

Achievement of planned targets

20. Refer to the annual performance report on pages 78 to 132 for information on the

achievement of the planned targets for the year. This information should be considered

in the context of the material findings on the reliability of the reported performance

information for the selected programmes reported in paragraphs 17 to 19 of this report.

Compliance with legislation

21. I performed procedures to obtain evidence that the department had complied with

applicable legislation regarding financial matters, financial management and other

related matters. My findings on material compliance with specific matters in key

legislation, as set out in the general notice issued in terms of the PAA, are as follows:

Expenditure management

22. Effective steps were not taken to prevent irregular expenditure as required by section

38(1)(c)(ii) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulation 9.1.1

Procurement and contract management

23. Goods and services of a transaction value above R500 000 were procured without

inviting competitive bids, as required by Treasury Regulation 16A6.1.

Internal control

24. I considered internal control relevant to my audit of the financial statements, the annual

performance report and compliance with legislation. The matters reported below are

limited to the significant internal control deficiencies that resulted in the findings on the

annual performance reportand the findings on compliance with legislation included in this

report.

Leadership

25. The leadership of the department has established effective internal controls however, the

oversight practices of leadership were not able to prevent, detect and correct all the

175

possible irregular expenditure or the reportable matters on predetermined objectives and

the consequential compliance findings.

Financial and performance management

26. Managements’ monitoring and oversight over daily controls did not prevent all the

material misstatements in compliance with laws and regulations and did not prevent,

detect and report all the possible irregular expenditure. This includes establishing

sufficient controls over the collection, collation, verification, storing and reporting of

actual performance information.

Governance

27. The audit committee and internal audit fulfilled their legislative function and provided

support to the department by monitoring key areas that is applicable to the external

auditors. Future focus can be directed towards helping the department to address

significant findings relating to procurement and contract management and predetermined

objectives.
