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

I take pleasure in presenting the Departmental Annual Report for

the financial year 2014/15, satisfied by the achievements realized by

this Department despite encountered service delivery and

organisational challenges. In the total provincial economy

Agriculture, Culture and Tourism (ACT) contributed MEC M. TLHAPE

approximately 23°/o of all value added during the period under review. Agriculture,

which includes the agro-processing sub-sectors, contributed 16°/o of the ACT value

added.

In the midst of constrained economic growth contribution of 2.6% to Gross Domestic

Product (GDP) without backward and forward linkages by the agricultural sector and

food crisis, government has been able to reposition the agricultural sector to ensure

national food security, job creation and economic development.

The delivery of Environmental Management Services is a constitutional right to the

people of the NWP. Some of the key deliverables during the period under review include

environmental waste, quality, biodiversity management and empowerment initiatives.

Competitiveness of the agricultural sector is significantly impeded by production

limitations, access to credit, human capacity and market access. Competiveness of the

agricultural sector in the North West Province (NWP) is low and challenges or factors

that inhibit competiveness could be addressed.

Furthermore, the North West Province (NWP) is vulnerable to drought and inability to

meet demand for water would have highly significant negative natural environment and

economic growth impacts. Climate change is very likely to harm economies, the lives

and health of millions of people, particularly in the poor regions, but no country will be

spared. Government together with all other key role players will have to consider the




effects of agriculture on climate change as well as the effects of climate change on

agriculture. Agriculture is one of the many green house gas emitters and therefore we

must as government begin to quantify what the situation in South Africa is.

Consumers in rural areas continued to pay higher prices for food during the period under

review and the trend is projected to continue in the coming years. This requires us as

government to continue improving on our service delivery systems, policy directives and

ensuring achievements of our strategic outcome based goals. The department started

with the implementation of programmes ensuring that all agricultural land that has been

lying fallow is brought back into production during the period under review. We still need

to work hard over the remaining four years of the Medium Term Strategic Framework

(MTSF) to ensure that food security is increased.

As part of our medium to long term goals, the department will ensure that the outcome

based planning approach, ACT as the Bokone Bophirima economic pillars, Rebranding,

Repositioning and Renewal (RRR) as well as the development of the Villages, Townships

and Small Dorpies (VTSD) economies of the province forms the basis of adequate and

consistent resource allocations towards the attainment of 6% economic growth. The

department will further strive towards aligning infrastructure budgets to projects that

would allow the department to create the required number of work opportunities and the

full time equivalents.

The department wish to acknowledge the overall winner of the 2014 DAFF Female

Entrepreneur of the Year in the Province, Phindi Abdulla of the South African Game

Association from Bojanala Platinum District.

The Departmental Annual Report generally shows that most of the commitments made

by the department have been achieved or progress is on track. However, there are still

challenges which need to be resolved to ensure that progress is brought on track in the

next financial year.




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.

MAN KETSI TLHAPE

MEC of the Department of Rural, Environment and Agricultural Development

22 August 2015




4. REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER

4.1. Overview of the operations of the department

Dr P.J. Mokaila

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.

In executing Agriculture as one of the three key mandates of the Department, global

warming and consequently the adverse climatic conditions posed serious challenges. In

an effort to effectively deal with these challenges, a Bokone Bophirima Drought Dialogue

was convened in Potchefstroom on 26 March 2015. One of the key findings in that

gathering was that the Province received sub-normal rainfall, extremely high

temperatures and deteriorating vegetation. The Department further undertakes to

engage other role players in mobilising the required resources for drought mitigation and

risk management.

The outlook on drought as depicted by National Agricultural Marketing Council projected

that the 2014/2015 maize production will drop to approximately 9.6 million metric tonnes

against 2013/2014's 14.25 million metric tonnes (32%), with estimated loss at a

staggering of R9.2 billion. Sunflower production is also estimated to decline by 30%.

The undesirable effect of this decrease in production will lead to increased food prices

and grain importation which is not desirable for the sector and the economy.

•




The Department's drive to Rebrand, Reposition and Renew the Bokone Bophirima

Province through agriculture, has seen the light through the completion of the Provincial

Investment Plan in the form of the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Plan

(CAADP), which is to serve as a blueprint for collaborative increased investment into

agriculture. The plan is aligned to the Provincial Agricultural Master Plan, and the

developed sectoral plans on key agricultural commodities in the Province have also been

incorporated into the plan.

The Bokone Bophirima Province is faced with the task of reclaiming its position as a key

strategic player in the maize triangle of the country, and through the revitalisation of

grain production the Department cultivated 9 186 hectares of underutilised agricultural

land to maize, sunflower, ground nuts, and dry beans production at a cost of R 88.1

million ..

As part of the Setsokotsane programme, the Department rolled out the Tshimo Ya

Kgosi Programme and a total of 100 hectares were cultivated for Kgosi Molete, 160

hectares for Kgosi Mabalane and a further 200 hectares for Kgosi Madoda Zibi in both

the Ditsobotla and Moses Kotane local municipalities, respectively.

In its quest to ensuring production efficiency, the Department continued to provide

support on the maintenance and expansion of land under irrigation. An amount of R9

million was further spent on construction of the Taung Agro- Hub linked to the Irrigation

Scheme which is due for completion by June 2015.

The refurbishment of the Springbokpan grain silo is on course and the facility will

be ready for the next harvest, resulting in a creation of 63 EPWP temporary jobs. The

2015/16 will be marked by further refurbishment of the second of the three silos, Vryhof,

at a budgeted amount of R13 million

Over the past five years the Department made good investment of R20 million to the

Nguni Cattle Development Programme in partnership with NWU and IDC. The




Nguni programme has to date benefited a total number of 78 sites positively impacting

the lives of 185 farmers. During the period under review, additional 14 sites received

Nguni packages consisting of 23 heifers and one bull per site, i.e. total 14 bulls and 322

heifers. The programme has empowered a total of 72 women and 31 youth.

The expansion of the bull subsidy scheme was successfully implemented in the Ngaka

Modiri Molema District, to the tune of R3 million, and has benefitted 54 Smallholder

farmers. The programme is gradually gaining momentum and it is due to be rolled out in

the Bojanala District during next financial year.

Primary Animal Health Care remains a priority; a total of 496 557 animals were

vaccinated against Brucellosis, Anthrax and Rabies as animal diseases which can

potentially affect human beings and cause economic losses. One hundred and sixty one

thousand and five hundred (161 500) animal and samples respectively were tested

through our veterinary laboratories and a total of 1 292 Primary Animal Health Care

sessions were conducted in rural areas. The Export Control unit saw to 3 189 export

consignments to various countries of the world.

The departmental plan to reposition Disaneng Village as a centre of excellence for

aquaculture and recreational fisheries for the Province is progressing as planned,

with the current production capacity of 20 tons per annum. The construction of the

hatchery, processing unit and pools with installed pipes were completed. The quarantine

unit is work-in-progress and has resulted in the creation of a total of 6 permanent jobs.

Furthermore, the recreational f ishing clubs were engaged with the aim of not only

encouraging them to make use of the Provincial dams but to also foster partnerships

with the local communities where they fish.

The involvement of the youth in the sector remains a priority. The Department seeks to

draw-in and encourage the youth to fully participate in programmes aimed at

empowering them to realize a better life. This has seen the re-launch of the Provincial

Youth in Agriculture and Rural Development {YARD) structure with 300 youth,

representing all Districts, in attendance. It was preceded by successful formation of

district committees. Plans to finalize policy guidelines on youth programs and awards are




afoot to ensure staging of the event in the coming year. A 900 hectare farm was acquired for

one (1) youth cooperative which was identified in the Lekwa-Teemane local area. Training

was provided for the beneficiaries to ensure sustainability of the project.

The Department recognized and rewarded the outstanding role played by women in the

agricultural sector at its annual Female Entrepreneur Awards ceremony. All the eleven (11)

winners for 2014 were awarded in seven different categories with a total of R5, 3 million in

cash and infrastructure development support as prizes

Kgora Farmer Training Centre has equipped over 300 farmers with farming skills during

the 2014/15 financial year to the tune of R10,3 million. The Department will through the

centre further impart specialized and tailor-made farming skills to an additional 400 farmers in

the coming financial year.

As part of the R10 million 3-year donor funding by Dannish Haldor Topsee to the Taung

Agricultural College, designs and plans were completed for the new soil science and water

laboratory in 2014/15 and the redesign of the water reticulation system for the entire College.

Other facilities includes the designs and plans for --

the construction of an additional boardroom,

eco-friendly lecture hall and security upgrades

for a total allocation of R6 million.

An amount of R8.1 million was spent, through

the Land Care Programme, towards the

rehabilitation of 3 100 hectares, through ...,..,,...,.,� . ..,,,

sustainable management systems in Madibeng, .....,._ ......... ____ �..-.:,..o;.� ...................... ..::.,...-

Moses Kotane, Ramotshere Moiloa, Greater

Taung and Kagisano-Molopo.

As part of contributing towards the realisation of sub-outcome 3 of outcome 7 on improving

food security, 582 verified food insecure households were supported with production starter

packs.




The restoration of the Taung Skull World Heritage site, in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati

District, which seeks to achieve the return of the skull to the site continued during the period

under review. The key enabling projects that were implemented include road upgrade,

protection of the core area of the heritage site and the construction of a new ablution facility

at the Thomeng-Waterfalls at a cost of R46 million. In the same breath, the ecological

restoration of the Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site, located in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda

District, progressed well through the management of the invasive of alien species program.

The Memorandum of Agreement between READ and its counterpart in the Gauteng Province

on the listing of Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve was implemented. The critical zonation

scheme for the biosphere was meticulously revised and submitted to United Nations

Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).

The Department has improved from the 65% of permitted landfill sites status to a remarkable

95% in the Province. Hundred [100] wheelie bins were distributed to the Danville community

in Mahikeng in order to improve waste management systems in the locality.

Rhino poaching continues to soar in the country whilst the North West Province has marked

a gradual decrease in the number of rhinos poached this year, compared to those of same

period in the last year. To date only 6 rhinos were killed and 2 wounded as compared to 15

poached in the previous year. In overall, this translates to an annual decrease from 87

poached rhinos in 2013 to 65 in 2014, which can be attributed to efforts placed on increased

visibility and other enforcement programs

towards anti-poaching of game. All these

efforts are a result of key control intervention

that were implemented which. include three

(3) joint operation blitz with SAPS & Hawks,

the recruitment and training of 50 rangers on

Advanced Anti-Poaching as well as 30

community conservation ambassadors, the

designation of 50 additional Environmental

Management Inspectors, the use of

specialised equipment and alliances with the




Botswana Government. Bokone Bophirima Province became the first Province to conduct

a rhino horn audit in the country. •

The Wildlife Management Strategy for Free Roaming Game on communal and state land

has been developed . The strategy seeks to ensure direct economic benefits to the

previously disadvantaged communities to which hunting quotas will be allocated on the

basis of such a strategy.

The development of the North West Biodiversity Act and its Regulations consolidated the

current fragmented biodiversity regulatory framework in the Province. The two (2) will

be promulgated and implemented in the coming year coupled with the development of

the North West Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan. Furthermore, an Index of Habitat

Integrity (IHI) survey of selected rivers for ecological integrity will be conducted through

the River Health Programme (RHP).

The Bokone Bophirima Biodiversity e-Permit System, which is a cost effective system

that was developed in partnership with the Northern Cape Environmental Service, is

aimed at making the permitting process more responsive and efficient thus reducing the

turn-around time from 8 days to less than a day. The required training has been

conducted and the first inaugural permit number 162056 was issued on Monday, the

11th May 2015.

The Environmental Management and Protection has processed and finalised 100% EIA

applications received within legislated timeframe. Bokone Bophirima Environment

Outlook 2013 was successfully published as planned during the year to serve as a

valuable resource for environment to decision-makers, communities, academia and the

private sector. A total of 6 023 job opportunities and 1 233 Full Time Equivalent were

created through the Department's infrastructure program of implementing 109 projects.




The Department has implemented the staff re-skilling program which saw 9

administration and support related personnel being admitted into the agricultural

technical higher education training programme. This is done to supplement the 14 full

time employees on a Learnership Programme, 90 learners on Internship Programme, 23

students with bursaries for tertiary qualifications, 133 employees on Adult Basic

Education Training Programme (ABET), as well as provide training and empowerment of

employees with a total budget of R8.5 million.

The Department has paved the way by appointing the first of its kind in the Province, the

Departmental Governance and Risk Management Committee comprising of both internal

and external stakeholders. This will enhance departmental efforts on Performance

Monitoring and Evaluation. This stands as one measure to raise the bar on Monitoring

and Performance Evaluation Tool (MPAT) for which we have made several strategic

improvements.

Departmental performance has improved on the capacity for quality and efficient delivery

of the infrastructure programs. The overall financial expenditure stood at 97% for the

year under review.

department:

• Revitilisation of Crop Production:- In the 2015/2016 financial year the

Department will commit in excess of R120 million with a target of 12 226 hectares

to be planted. This will be done in partnership with private investors who will

provide the opportunity to expand the envelope indicated above.

• Provincial Agricultural Show:- The Department will be hosting Provincial

Agricultural Show which will coincide with the Maize Triangle Soccer Tournament

in collaboration with Department of Culture, Arts, and Traditional Affairs.

• Tshimo Ya kgosi Programme:- Programme will be rolled out to eighteen (18)

Chiefs during the 2015/2016 financial year covering seven (7) in Bojanala, three

(3) in Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati and eight in Ngaka Modiri Molema Districts to

the tune of Rl 1.8 million.

• Expansion of land under irrigation:- Additional 60ha of land will be added to

Taung Irrigation Scheme within the Greater Taung Local Municipality and lOha for

Disaneng in Ratlou Local Municipality resuscitated to the tune of R12 million thus

creating 45 jobs. An amount of R9 million of the total R12 million was further .

spent on construction of the Taung Agro- Hub which is due for completion by June

2015.

• Horticultural projects:- Horticultural projects ranging from vegetable

production, citrus and other fruits to the tune of R39,3 million will be implemented

during the 2015/2016 financial year. These projects include the establishment of

the Zeerust Fresh Produce Market to the initial tune of R5 million. More than 550

jobs are expected to be created through these business enterprises.




• Refurbishment of Vryhof grain silos:- 2015/16 will be marked by further

refurbishment of the Vryhof grain silos to the tune of R13 million. Plans for the

future entail setting up maize milling plant to expand the value chain inclusive of

the creation of food bank facility for food security purpose.

• Agri-parks:- READ in collaboration with the Department of Rural Development

and Land Reform, District and Local Municipalities and Dikgosi has positioned the

Province to establish three (3) Agri-Parks, namely Vryburg in Dr Ruth Segomotsi

Mompati District for livestock, Makapanstadt in Bojanala District for livestock and

Springbokpan in Ngaka Modiri Molema District for grain value chains.

• Nguni Cattle Development Programme:- Second phase of the partnership

programme will continue during the 2015/2016 year and with special focus on

commercialisation and value adding within the Nguni Programme. A new MOU will

be signed in this regard with READ, NWU and IDC to the tune of R3 million. The

Bull Subsidy programme will also be rolled out to the Bojanala District with a

budget of R3 million for 2015/16.

2015/2016 target 60% procurement towards the villages, townships and small

dorpies through the infrastructure grants, goods and services provision and key

departmental events. Furthermore, the department has ta.ken a bold step of

allocating an amount of R64 million for this year towards the implementation of

the Agro processing projects This investment will go a long way towards fostering

economic development in Villages, Townships and Small Dorpies_(VTSD).

• Mahikeng Revitalisation, Repositioning and Renewal Programme

2015-2016 financial year and once completed will cater for the supply of fresh fish

and processed fish (e.g. fish paste for schools, etc.). Department has already

engaged the University of Johannesburg's Food Technology Department in

finalizing plan for the processing plant.

Recreational fishing remains an important component of our Aquaculture and

Fisheries Strategy. In this regard, recreational fishing clubs were engaged with

the aim of not only encouraging them to make use of the Provincial dams but

more importantly to develop partnerships with the local communities where they

fish. The department will continue with the training of local fishers and provision

of equipment and tools.

• Revitalization of Agricultural Markets:- Adequate ground work has been

performed in partnership with Rustenburg Local Municipality to include the third

Farmers Market into the Rustenburg Flea Market. Department will also promote

Government--led markets for agricultural cooperatives through other public sector

departments such as Social Development on Early Childhood program, Education

on School Feeding and Nutrition Program and Health of provision of agricultural

produce for hospitals.

• Women and Youth:- The re-launch of Women in Ag"riculture and Rural

Development (WARD) will take place during Women month in August 2015. The

Department plans to create additional agricultural youth cooperatives in

partnership with FEED as part of rural enterprises.

is taking agricultural production to improved heights in the refurbishing of an

Agro-processing LAB at Kgora Farmer Training Centre where farmers will be




trained in basic food processing. Department will be imparting further specialized

and tailor-made farming skills to an additional 400 farmers during the 2015/16

financial year with a total allocation of R 10 million, while a satelite campus for

farmer training will be expanded to Moretele.

Taung Agricultural College will this year in December be conferring its first

Diplomas as part of the bigger vision to have it as a centre of excellence in

irrigation for SADC. READ has set aside R5 million for infrastructure development

at Potchefstroom.

• Food Security Initiatives:- The program will continue with the erection of

tunnels in Mahikeng, Setlagole and Lotlhakane.

• Comprehensive Rural Development Programme:- The creation of

comprehensive rural development sites in Lekwa-Teemane and Marikana will

continue in the new financial year following the municipal engagement and the

creation of critical Council of Stakeholders in these areas to identify critical basket

of services. A total of R14 million has been allocated to the 6 existing and 2 new

sites. Partnerships will be created with the Department Local Government &

Human Settlement and mining houses to establish food gardens on households in

Marikana. READ will also sign a MOU with the Department South African National

Defence Force on the promotion of rural -development initiatives throughout the

Province.

• Taung Skull World Heritage:- Heritage Visual Impact Assessment, Site Safety

Assessments, restoration of the Mine Managers Office, restoration of the

powerhouse and the view of the platform at the memorial site will be finalised

during the 2015-2016 financial year to the tune of R50 million.




• Rhino Poaching:- On a zero tolerance on rhino poaching incidents in the parks

within province, appropriated selection, training and equipping of rangers will be

conducted this year to ensure the required capacity, utilising available

infrastructure suitable for training and reputable institutions.

• Wildlife Management Transformation Policy:- Continue with the

development of the Wildlife Management Transformation Policy for the next three

years. A concept will be delivered this year as the most awaited transformation of

this precious industry. One project will be implemented on transformational

ground in Kgetleng River Local Municipality and in partnership with the private

sector, the newly formed Parks Board to unleash the required empowerment.

• North West Biodiversity Act:- Continue with the Development of the North

West Biodiversity Act and its Regulations which has consolidated the current

fragmented biodiversity regulatory framework in the province. The two will be

promulgated and implemented during 2015-2016 financial year. This will be

coupled with the development of the North West Biodiversity Strategy and Action

Plan. Further, an Index of Habitat Integrity (IHI) survey of selected rivers for

ecological integrity will be conducted through the River Health Programme (RHP).

• Climate Change Vulnerability and Resilience Assessment:- The draft

Vulnerability Assessment and adaptation· responses will be completed in the

second quarter.

• Waste Management:- Department will conduct a feasibility study on waste

generation and develop an implementation plan to establish three waste

management cooperatives. The plan will inform the strategic location for the

establishment of three buy-back centres. The Provincial Integrated Waste

Management Plan (IWMP) 2008 will be reviewed and the North West




Environmental Implementation Plan 2015-2020 will be gazetted in the coming

financial year.

• Agricultural Information and Management System:- The provision of

Agricultural Information and Management System to improve collection of

performance information and portfolio of evidence will be finalised in the new

financial year.

PART B: PERFORMANCE INFORMATION




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 182 of the Report of the Auditor General, published as Part E:

Financial Information.

2. OVERVIEW OF DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE

2.1 Service Delivery Environment

On the back of the various previous assessments for the province, together with the

findings of the current iteration, several key socio-economic threats to sustainability

in the North West have been identified. These socio-economic threats have the

potential, if not addressed, to result in potentially catastrophic consequences. The

current economic conditions, therefore, only allows us to prioritize and direct

resources to high impact government programmes.

The North West province is vulnerable to reduced water availability (a future without

water) and this is an almost intractable problem for the province. The inability to

meet demand for water in the province would have multiple and highly significant

negative impacts both in terms of the natural environment but also possible job loss.




While employment in the sector has declined somewhat, output per worker has

increased significantly from 62.84 tons per worker in 2004 to 102.7 tons per worker

in 2012. Formal employment in the agricultural industry is generally much lower

compared to the 2008 period. Much less people were employed in Q4 2014 (41,850)

compared to Q3 2014 (40,560), and the recent number is also significantly lower

compared to the Ql 2008 (58,987) level. The sector has succeeded to add to jobs in

Q4 2014. Historically, from Ql 2008 until Q4 2014, the number of formally employed

averaged 40,472 people reaching an all-time high of 63,796 people in Q4 2008 and

a record low of 28,678 people in Q4 2012. The Q-on-Q growth was 8.6% with the

average growth over the period being -1.3%.

Thirty-four percent (34%) of the provincial agricultural land is potentially arable with

66% classified as grazing land. Approximately 4% of the arable land is under

irrigation. Commercial and developing agricultural systems are the two major systems

existing in the province, the latter dominated by the previously disadvantaged

farming communities. The continued pressure on agriculture to increase output per

unit of land poses a different challenge of ensuring that the natural resource base is

protected. In addition, climate change has massive impact across the sector.

Declining farming profitability and water scarcity (drought, declining rainfall or over

demand for water) has left South Africa with less than two-thirds of the number of

farms it had in the early 1990's. In many instances the lost farms have been

changed to other land uses, or consolidated into larger farming units· to achieve

effective economies of scale. Although the area under maize, wheat and dairy (5%

of the national cattle herd) has decreased significantly over the last 20 years,

production remains relatively constant, indicating an increasing trend in intensified

production.

Agricultural production in the province has dropped from 3 086 thousands of tons in

2004 to 2 931 thousands of tons in 2012. The agricultural sector currently

contributes approximately 2.6% to the Gross domestic Product of NWP and RSA




respectively. The percentage contribution indicated is the direct contribution without

backward and forward linkages.

Sunflower seeds, groundnuts, maize, wheat and cattle dominate the agricultural

sector in the province. Most of the arable crops within the NWP are extensively

produced under dry-land conditions - 1 % maize for grain is irrigated. Wheat and

Lucerne are predominantly produced under irrigation. In terms of physical output

the Ngaka Modiri Molema District (NMMDM) produces the most arable crops which

include maize, sunflower and wheat. Other districts where maize and wheat

constitute a major part are the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District (RSMDM) and

to a lesser extent the Bojanala Platinum District (BPDM). Important to remember

that parts of the RSMDM and NMMDM fall within the maize triangle of South Africa.

Major horticultural crops produced in the NWP are potatoes followed by oranges,

onions and carrots. Horticultural production extremely prominent in Bojanala

(Rustenburg, Brits, Madikwe) and nearly half of horticultural production in Bojanala

is made up of onions and oranges. Vegetable production is most prominent in

RSMDM and KKDM, with potatoes accounting for bigger portion of total horticultural

production. Citrus production is almost entirely absent in the RSMDM, NMMDM and

KKDM.

Agricultural practices in the North West Province also impact severely on natural

resources and the integrity of the available land, as shown by the level of

transformation of land cover and the potential for land degradation attributed to

agriculture. Agriculture must therefore be adapted to be more innovative,

environmentally friendly and sustainable, and agricultural practices implemented in

such a way so as to support and enhance natural resource management.




Province has considerable potential in terms of comparative and competitive

advantages in livestock production, especially in the western areas of the Province.

North West Province accounts for 12.9 % (fourth largest) of the total South African

cattle herd.

A changing climate is a reality and attention must increasingly turn to adapting to

change to match efforts to limit the change. Climate change has multiple

consequences, but the vulnerability of the province to restricted water availability

has to be seen as the critical consequence. Expansion of agriculture would be

severely constrained, as there will not be any additional water for irrigation, with

food security potentially threatened as the population continues to grow.

Finally, but importantly, waste must be tackled while the opportunities exist to

internalise the costs of that waste to the companies that profited from generating it

in the first place. If that does not happen, the province will be left with the legacy.

Various observers have described waste in South Africa's a ticking time bomb. At

current rates of generation, the limits to currently available solid waste disposal

space in the North West province are likely to be reached quite soon. With the costs

of providing waste removal services ever increasing and space for disposal being

difficult to secure, the opportunity for turning waste products into waste resources

has to be taken up in a coordinated manner by the authorities, and not left to ad

hoe private initiatives.

The province is a significant generator of greenhouse gas emissions both directly in

the form of emissions from agriculture, mines and associated metallurgical

processes, and also in the significant energy demands of the mining and

manufacturing sectors.




The challenge for the province is then one of preparing for the impacts of

climate change and developing and implementing interventions that will

mitigate the impacts of climate change rather than climate change itself.

This does not mean mitigation of greenhouse ,,,gas emissions should not receive attention,

but simply that the reality of climate change

should be accepted and prepared for.

From the broad perspective offered by the

analysis in the NW Outlook 2013 - 2015

report, it seems as if the North West remains

poised on a knife-edge. Whereas gains are

being made in some spheres, others are deteriorating, which makes resource conflicts

inevitable. Unless appropriate steps are taken by the governance system as a whole, the

situation will deteriorate and tipping points will be breached. Positive interventions,

however, wi l l not merely prevent

environmental deterioration, but will in fact

ensure that disparate gains consolidate or

work together to improve the overall quality

of life of individuals and welfare of society

through optimisation of ecosystem services

and sustainable flows of natural resources.

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 Premier of the North West Province has reorganised the configuration of the

Department of Rural, Environment and Agricultural Development to bring it in line

with the new mandates and government priorities. 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.

The total number of approved posts is 2 358 with 1 647 posts filled and 402

vacancies. The current vacancy rate is at 20%. The department requires robust

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

possessing critical skills necessary to deliver quality services to departmental clients.

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 take 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

2014-2019 MTSF therefore builds on both these documents in identifying how




departments covered by Outcome 12 can provide effective support to sector

departments.

Other management related issues which will be prioritized during the MTSF period

include employment of skilled personnel, ensuring compliance to government

prescripts as a whole and improve our capacity to serve the farming communities.

The other key challenges facing the department include:

• Inadequate programme management/project management processes; including

project monitoring and evaluation

• Inefficient and effective Human Resource Structures;

• Inadequate Human Resource Management (Including Skills attraction,

• Performance Management)

• Inadequate allocation and inconsistent funding for environmental projects ( eg

game holding facilities, buy-back centres, information management systems), as

well as agricultural economic and rural development infrastructure

• Inadequate office space and shortage of vehicles for Environmental Services

• Lack of Specific Team to only dedicate its operations on Rhino Poaching

• Investigations is needed.

• Non-existence of Programme to assists with the protection of Rhinos on private

land must be jointly initiated by the Government and private land owners, and

such should include the training and equipping of rangers and identified farm

workers on Private Rhino farms and Reserves.

In a long term, by co-ordinating activities within the rural development strategy we

will be in a position to revitalize infrastructure for agricultural production. We will

also have a multi-sectoral approach to minimize the negative impact of agricultural

production on the environment.




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

identified the following key risks with potential to hinder achievement of

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

• Inability of the Department to pay workers on the EPWP Project

timeously. EPWP Payments not made timeously to workers on the projects,

Vouchers not available to affect timeous payment of worker wages.

• Inability of the Department to provide sufficient and rapid response

/assistance on Disaster Rehabilitation schemes. Insufficient funding, too

many red tape and stakeholders involved to ensure funding for relieve measures.

• Inadequate assessment of imported and exported meat and by

products which exposes the province to possibilities of exotic diseases

introduced. Lack of and insufficient quarantine facilities for animals and

animal's by-products (life produce), insufficient skilled staff to perform import

and export assessment on animal and animal by-products, absence of a cooling

down quarantine facility in the Province for meat.

• Inadequate integrated environmental planning. Inadequate buy-in,

support and coordination between other programmes and other spheres of

government to enable the execution of targets being achieved.

• Lack of integrated planning of climate change aspects into Provincial

and Local plans. Dependence on external donor funding due to a lack of

dedicated budget, no expertise and capacity to conduct climate change audits

and plans, lack of a specialised unit for climate change programmes within the

department.




2.4 Key policy developments and legislative changes

The Premier of the North West Province has reorganised the configuration of the

Department to include Environmental Services as a new mandate for the

department. The reconfiguration was to align the departmental mandate with the

new mandates and government priorities. 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.

PART C: GOVERNANCE




•




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




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 of the department. This risk database information and the final top

10 risk register of 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 is

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 register 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 member. 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 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;

Operational plan for the execution of the ccommittee deliverabless; and

Standard Operating Procedure Manual for the secretariat and committee

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, 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

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.

• 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 and Professional Ethics. 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.

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.

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 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

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. In addition the Department

were the best performer in the North West Province on the recent MPAT audit on

Governance, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention and Professional Ethics for the

past two consecutive years.

• 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 a disclosure at all times. Internal structures within the

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

Department also recently established a customer call centre were serve

•




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.

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.

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.

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.

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

two consecutive years on the recent MPAT audit in the North West Province on

Governance, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention and Professional Ethics. 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. HEAL TH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT AL 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.

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!.

Audit Committee Responsibility

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 control, risk management and governance processes

to determine their effectiveness and efficiency, and also by developing

recommendations for the enhancement or improvement thereof.

Through our analysis of internal and external audit reports and engagement with the

Department we can report that the system of internal control for the period under

review was adequate and effective except for internal controls relating to reporting

on Predetermined Objectives and compliance with laws and regulations.

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

effectively implementing all internal audit action plans agreed upon.

1 c:,::




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

management system can be further improved to realise the full benefit thereof for the

Department and the attainment of Departmental objectives.

During the year under review the Executive Council of the Province commissioned a

forensic investigation at the Potchefstroom Agricultural College. At the time of writing

this report the investigation was still in progress and the outcome and impact of the

investigation on the fraud management system and the annual financial statements

is uncertain.

The Audit Committee remains concerned with the slow progress in the finalisation of

unauthorised expenditure.

In-Year Management and Quarterly Report ing

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 and interim

financial statements are however a concern to the Audit Committee.

Reconfiguration of Departments

During the year under review the Department was reconfigured as part of the provincial

reconfiguration announced by the Premier in May 2014. The Province implemented various

control measures to manage this process. The Audit Committee reviewed this process

during its quarterly meetings and made recommendations in this regard.

Evaluation of Financial Statements

The Audit Committee 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 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 predetermined objectives

The Audit Committee advised the Accounting Officer to ensure that all the review

notes and comments of Internal Audit and the Audit Committee are fully addressed

prior to submission of the report on Predetermined Objectives to Auditor General

South Africa.

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

Predetermined Objectives to be included in the annual report with the Auditor

General South Africa and the Accounti ng Officer.

Internal Audit

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

during the year under review. The Audit Committee noted that the deficiencies in the

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

based audit approach. However, the Audit Committee is satisfied that adequate

alternative risk assessments were performed to ensure that audit plans are risk

based.

Auditor General South Africa

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.

PART D: HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

1 t:;(l




1. INTRODUCTION

The information contained in this part of the annual report has been

prescribed by the Minister for the Public Service and Administration for all

departments in the public service.

2. OVERVIEW OF HUMAN RESOURCES

The aim of Human Resource Management is to ensure that future human

resource and concomitant needs of the Department must be quantitatively

and qualitatively met.

The Department ultimately have the right number and type of human

resource and practices to deliver a relevant, comprehensive, professional

and efficient agricultural public sector service to the people of the North

West based on the existing situation and circumstances vis-a-vis future

expectations and demands as can be derived from inter alia, the -

• Departmental Strategic and Annual Performance Plan

• Initiatives and priorities of the National Department of Agriculture,

• Forestry and Fisheries as well as that of the Provincial Minister of

Agriculture and Rural Development.

• Departmental specific plans, policies and strategies e.g. employment

equity; work skills plan; compulsory training; human capital development

strategy, etc.

• Operational targets and relevant national and provincial statistics and

impact studies.




In order to determine appropriate staffing and concomitant human resources

needs, the following ten key areas will be explored -

• Organisational structure.

• Competencies.

• Training and development.

• Types of employment and resourcing.

• The profile of the workforce.

• Employment equity.

• Staffing patterns.

• Staff turnover, vacancy and stability.

• Employee health and wellness.

• Value and ethical behaviour.

The following aspects will be taken into consideration -

• Scarce and critical skills occupations.

• Current and future availability of staff i.e. race, gender, youth, disability,

qualifications, occupations and subcategories thereof.

• Current and future costs attached to the above.

• An appropriate programme of action regarding implementation of

interventions resulting from a qualitative and quantitative the analysis,

as well as monitoring, evaluation and reporting measures to ensure

appropriate staffing and skills development.

As wayforward:

• The department is indeed faced with an arduous task that has a wide

scope with variants of complexity. The extenuating factors in this regard

are the influence that aspects stemming from the internal and external




environment have on service delivery. The Department nevertheless view

and regard this as a critical challenge that must be addressed.

• Steady progress has over the years been made regarding employment

equity targets and requirements.

• Existing staff are found to be appropriately and suitably qualified for the

posts and positions they occupy. In addition the loyalty and staff stability

ratios are regarded as encouraging when reasons for exiting the

department are looked at.

• The existing vacancy rate as well as difficulty to fill key and critical posts

with staff from the designated groups, needs attention.

• Also encouraging are the good human resources practices applied by the

Department such as retention of scarce and critical skilled staff, incentive

schemes and awards, all types of employment, training and development

programmes, employee wellness and assistance intervention and other

transformation and empowerment initiatives.

Approximately 371 employees will retire during this MTEF period. Only a small

number of these retirements will affect the critical and skilled personnel of the

Department. But measures will be taken to ensure recruitment of a large

percentage of young and skills transfer interventions shall take place.

Report of the auditor-general to the North West Provincial Legislature

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

Development

Report on the financial statements

Introduction

l. I have audited the financial statements of the Department of Rural, Environmentand Agricultural Development set out on pages 187 to 245, which comprisetheappropriation statement, the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2015,the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in net assets,and cash flow statementfor the year then ended, as well as the notes, comprisinga summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Accounting officer 's responsibility for thefinancial statements

2. The accounting officer is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation ofthese financial statements in accordance with the Modified Cash Standard(MCS) prescribed by the National Treasury and the requirements of the PublicFinance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA) andthe Division of Revenue Act of South Africa, 2014 (Act No. 10 of 2014) (DoRA),and for such internal control as the accounting officer determines is necessary toenable the preparation of financial statements that are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor-general's responsibility

3. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based onmy audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards onAuditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements, andplan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thefinancial statements are free from material misstatement.

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about theamounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selecteddepend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks ofmaterial misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevantto the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements inorder to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, butnot for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity'sinternal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness ofaccounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates madeby management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financialstatements.

1




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

Opinion

6. In my opinion, thefinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, thefinancial position of the Department of Rural, Environment and AgriculturalDevelopment as at 31 March 2015 and its financial performance and cash flowsfor the year then ended, in accordance with the MCS prescribed by the NationalTreasury and the requirements of the PFMA and the DoRA.

Emphasis of matters

7. I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modified in respect ofthese matters.

Unauthorised and irregular expenditure

8. As disclosed in note 11 to the financial statements, the unauthorised expenditure inrespect of prior years of R20 679 OOO had not yet been dealt with in accordance withsection 34 of the PFMA.

9. As disclosed in note 31 to the fin ancial statements, irregular expenditure of R13 419 OOOwas incurred in the current year.

Material Underspending

to. As disclosed in the appropriation statement, the department has materially underspent the budget to the amount of R31 627 OOO.Consequently the department did not completely achieve its objectives.

Additional matter

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

Unaudited supplementary schedules

12. The supplementary information set out on pages 239 to 245 does not form part ofthe financial statements and is presented as additional information. I have notaudited these schedules and accordingly I do not express an opinion thereon.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

13. In accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of2004) (PAA) and the general notice issued in terms thereof, I have aresponsibility to report findings on the reported performance information againstpredetermined objectives for selected programmes presented in the annualperformance report, non-compliance with legislation and internal control. Theobjective of my tests was to identify reportable findings as described under eachsubheading but not to gather evidence to express assurance on these matters.Accordingly, I do not express an opinion or conclusion on these matters.

2




Predetermined objectives

14. I performed procedures to obtain evidence about the usefulness and reliability ofthe reported performance information for the following selected programmespresented in the annual performance report of the department for the year ended31 March 2015:

Programme 3: Farmers support and development on pages 89 to 95

Programme6: Agricultural economic service on pages 107 to 110

Programme 7: Structured agriculturaleducation and training on pages 111 to 113

Programme 9: Environmental services on pages 119 to 130

15. evaluated the reported performance information against the overall criteria ofusefulness and reliability.

16. I evaluated the usefulness of the reported performance information to determinewhether it was presented in accordance with the National Treasury's annualreporting principles and whether the reported performance was consistent withthe planned programmes. I further performed tests to determine whetherindicators and targets were well defined, verifiable, specific, measurable, timebound and relevant, as required by the National Treasury's Framework formanaging programme performance information (FMPPI).

17. The material findings in respect of the selected programmesare as follows:

Programme 3: Farmers support and development

Reliability of reported performance information

18. The FMPPI requires auditees to have appropriate systems to collect, collate,verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and completereporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators andtargets. Significantly important targets were not reliable when compared to thesource information or evidence provided. This was due tolimited review andmonitoring of the completeness of source documentation in support of actualachievements and frequent review of the validity of reported achievementsagainst source documentation.

Programme 6: Agricultural economic service

19. I did not identify any· material findings on the usefulness and reliability of thereported performance information of this programme.

Programme 7: Structured a gricultural education and training


20. The FMPPI requires auditees to have appropriate systems to collect, collate,verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and completereporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators andtargets. Significantly important targets were not reliable when compared to thesource information or evidence provided. This was due to limited review andmonitoring of the completeness of source documentation in support of actualachievements and frequent review of the validity of reported achievementsagainst source documentation.

3




Programme 9: Environmental services


21. The FMPPI requires auditees to have appropriate systems to collect, collate,verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and completereporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators andtargets. Significantly important targets were not reliable when compared to thesource information or evidence provided. This was due to limited review andmonitoring of the completeness of source documentation in support of actualachievements and frequent review of the validity of reported achievementsagainst source documentation.

Additional matter

22. I draw attention to the following matter:

Achievement of planned targets

23. Refer to the annual performance report on pages 119 to 130 for information onthe achievement of the planned targets for the year. This information should beconsidered in the context of the material findings on the reliability of the reportedperformance information for the selected programmes reported in paragraphs 18to 21.

Compliance with legislation 24. I performed procedures to obtain evidence that the department had complied

with applicable legislation regarding financial matters, financial management andother related matters. My findings on material non-compliance with specificmatters in key legislation, as set out in the general notice issued in terms of thePAA, are as follows:

Financial statements, performance and annual reports

25. The financial statements submitted for auditing were not prepared in accordancewith the prescribed financial reporting framework and supported by full andproper records as required by section 40(1 )(a) and (b) of the PFMA. Materialmisstatements of irregular expenditure identified by the auditors in the submittedfinancial statement were subsequently corrected and the supporting recordswere provided subsequently, resulting in the financial statements receiving anunqualified audit opinion.

Strategic planning and performance management

26. Effective, efficient and transparent systems of risk management and internalcontrol with respect to performance information and management were notmaintained as required by section 38(1 )(a)(i) of the PFMA.

Procurement and contract management

Construction contracts were awarded to contractors that were not registered with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and did not qualify for the contract in accordance with section 18(1) of the CIDB Act and CIDB regulations 17 and 25(7A).

4




Expenditure management

27. Effective steps were not taken to prevent irregular expenditure, as required bysection 38(1 )(c)(ii) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulation 9.1.1.

Human resource and compensation management

28. Funded vacant posts were not filled within 12 months as required by PublicService Regulation 1NII/C.1A.2.

Internal control

29. I considered internal control relevant to my audit of the financial statements, theannual performance report and compliance with legislation. The matters reportedbelow are limited to the significant internal control deficiencies that resulted inthe findings on the annual performance report and the findings on noncompliance with legislation included in this report.

Leadership

30. The leadership of the department has established effective internal controlshowever, the oversight practices of leadership were not able to prevent materialcorrections to the financial statements and the reportable matters onpredetermined objectives and the consequential compliance findings.

Financial and performance management

Management's internal controls and processes over the preparation and presentation of the financial statements and performance information were not able to ensure that the reportswere free from material misstatements. This includes information relating to the collection, collation, verification, storing and reporting of actual performance information.
