   1. (a) to (f) Fall away.
2. (2) Falls away.
3. (3) No.

Mr Chairman, as I have told the hon member, we could not find any trace of any complaint having been lodged. If the hon member or anyone else submitted a complaint to us in this connection, we would investigate it.

Mr Chairman, I would not know that. I do know that the particulars which appeared in the NP’s information brochure, as far as I know, were taken from a newspaper report on this whole matter.

Order! That is not a permissible question.

New Questions:

1. (1) Yes.
2. (2) Yes.

(1) to (3)

The name of the organization furnished by the hon member is Spetsnaz. According to available information, this organization is a reconnaissance division of the Russian Army.

Russian citizens and citizens from other East Bloc countries who wish to visit the Republic, are subject to visa control. Should it be found that the admission of a person concerned will ostensibly not be in the interests of the country, a visa will not be granted to such person.

It stands to reason that the Government will not allow persons who pose a threat to the security of the country to enter the Republic.

1. (1) No. In terms of section 23(6)(b) of the Group Areas Act, 1966, the comments of the Administrator of Natal are being awaited before I or my Minister may consider the matter.
2. (2) (a) Yes. In terms of section 5(2) of the Group Areas Act, the proposal was advertised in two local newspapers on 30 October 1987.
   1. (b) yes.
3. (3) This information cannot be furnished before the report has been finally considered.

Mr Chairman, I have no information to that effect.

[Reply laid upon the table with leave of the House]:

1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) City Council of Sandton.
   2. (b) 19 November 1985.
2. (2) Yes.
   

   Firstly, the City Council decided that not only the central business district of Sandton, but the entire municipal area, be declared a free trading area. In view of the Government’s policy to only open the central business areas and regional centres which serve all the race groups the proposals were unacceptable to the Department. Consequently, as an alternative, the Department had to investigate all the various business centres in the municipal area in order to determine which other areas, apart from the CBD, would qualify for advertising and investigation as free trading areas. Particulars in connection with the zoning of properties, development and the number of businesses at each centre had to be obtained and personal inspections of the centres had to be carried out.

   Secondly, the Department had to wait for the boundary descriptions of the recommended area from the office of the Surveyor General. Altogether thirteen free trading areas and the deproclamation of two industrial zoned areas are involved.

3. (3) Yes.
   1. (a) All possible steps, in writing as well as by telephone, hare been taken by the Department, to obtain the particulars as early as possible. The draft proclamation, which is of considerable length, will be submitted to me before the end of June whereafter it will be transmitted to the office of the State President.
   2. (b) Depending on when the signed proclamation is received back by the Department, the proclamation of the relevant areas may be expected during July/August 1988.

In view of the fact that the issue regarding the suspension of certain teachers is presently the subject of legal proceedings and therefore sub judice, I do not consider it to be in the public interest to answer this question.

Mr Chairman, I think the reply I gave was quite clear. We believe that the public interest is at stake and for that reason we are not prepared to answer the question.

This matter vests in the Administrator of the Cape Province and he furnished the following information:

1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) (i) A new fire look-out will be built during 1988 on Signal Hill.
      1. (ii) Two law-enforcement officers posts were “unfrozen” during 1987.
      2. (iii) Four casual law-enforcement officers were employed during the summer of 1987/88.
      3. (iv) Removal of stands of alien trees posing a fire hazard to property was carried out during 1987/88.
      4. (v) Communications have been reviewed and improved.
      5. (vi) Various proposals were submitted to the Minister of Environment Affairs and the Administrator by the Cape Peninsula Nature Area Management Committee.
   2. (b) The Cape Town City Council.
   3. (c) During 1987/88
2. (2) No. Various reports are available from the Cape Town City Council.

Yes.

During the period 1 January to 30 April 1987, 1 327 serious crimes were reported. As a result of the continued crime prevention patrols, the number of crimes for the corresponding period during 1988 decreased drastically to 539 cases, which represents a decrease of 59,3%.

Although crime prevention patrols yielded excellent results, it did not provide a permanent solution to the crime problem. Mainly homeless vagrants were responsible for the crime situation in the area. In order to find a permanent solution to the crime problem, the care and rehabilitation of these persons had to be attended to. The Divisional Commissioner, Western Province took the initiative and appointed an officer to investigate the problem. Several charitable organisations which are responsible for the welfare of vagrants were involved in the investigation. At present suitable accommodation which can be used as a rehabilitation centre for the vagrants, is being sought.

1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) Hourly samples of all effluent taken before discharge into the pipe-line. In addition the quality of seawater and the status of marine life is closely monitored at the point of discharge into the sea.
   2. (b) The Mhlatuze Water Board and the Department of Water Affairs, as well as the institutions that discharge the effluent into the pipe-line. Sea monitoring is carried out by the CSIR.
2. (2) (a) No.
   1. (b) No.
   2. (c) No.
      

      The temperature and solid levels of one particular effluent before discharge into the pipe-line has on occasion exceeded permit levels, but the situation has since been rectified.

3. (3) No. Analysis of the individual effluents are not available to the public for the following reasons:
   1. (a) Effluent qualities can reveal trade secrets and is therefore considered to be confidential information which can only be revealed with the concurrence of the producer of the particular effluent.
   2. (b) Without other parameters of the effluent pipe-line known (for example dilutions achievable) interpretation of individual effluent qualities in respect of toxicity and environmental impact will not be possible.

The operation of the pipe-line and the results of sea monitoring is being closely scrutinized by the Richards Bay Effluent Pipeline Research Coordinating Committee. Overall performance is reported to the public in the form of news releases.

1. (4) Yes.
   1. (a) (i) The Mhlatuze Water Board, the CSIR, the Department of Water Affairs and the institutions that discharge the effluent into the pipeline.
      1. (ii) Individual effluents will be sampled on an hourly basis. Toxicity testing on grab samples will be taken from time to time. The CSIR will continue sea-monitoring.
   2. (b) Monitoring of individual samples are financed by the dischargers, the Mhlatuze Water Board and the Department of Water Affairs. From 1 April 1988 the Mhlatuze Water Board also finances toxicity testing by the CSIR, as well as sea-monitoring conducted by the latter.

1. (1)
   1. (a) Yes
      1. (i) 1 200
      2. (ii) Persons with whom I communicate frequently in my various capacities
      3. (iii) R1 460
      4. (iv) The Government Printer
   2. (b) Yes.
      1. (i) 500
      2. (ii) Persons with whom the Department communicates frequently
      3. (iii) R251
      4. (iv) Pretoria Office Supplies (Pty) Ltd
2. (2) Postage stamps were not used. The cards were distributed as official mail.

May I add that this was done within the framework of prescribed guidelines affecting the rights and privileges of Ministers.

1. (1) (a) and (b) Yes. I have received the advice of the Committee on Education Structures on the backlog position of college and school related educators after an investigation in this regard had been conducted by the Research Committee on Education Structures.
   1. (i) I received this advice on 20 April 1988.
   2. (ii) This advice pertains to the backlog in the salaries of educators relative to the rest of the public sector as well as ways in which to prevent such backlogs from developing again.
   3. (iii) As a result of this advice I am now negotiating an occupational specific salary adjustment for educators.
2. (2) Yes. According to the said advice, the rest of the public sector had an average of 7 per cent advantage over educators as far as salaries were concerned as at 1 April 1988.
3. (3) Yes. Negotiations are being conducted at present regarding an occupational specific salary adjustment for educators.
4. (4) No.

Mr Chairman, I have also had enquiries from the Press in this regard. My reply to them and to the hon member is that in relation to the statement by the hon the Minister for Administration and Privatisation regarding the further disposal of occupational-specific investigations by the responsible authorities, I will shortly hold talks with the Committee of University Principals, the Committee of Technikon Principals and the organised teaching profession. Speculation about how the conditions of service of educators could be affected would be inopportune at this stage.

(1) to (3)

It is clear to me that, by means of this question, the hon member wants to abuse parliament to obtain publicity for a radical organisation like the Western Cape Teachers’ Association.

Any organisation that propagates a school boycott does not do so in the interests of education, the children or the social welfare of the people of a country. Such a boycott, on the short term, creates the potential for unrest, violence, serious damage and also serious injuries and death. On the long term, it places the future of our children at stake. Experience has taught us this from the unrest that has prevailed since 1984. Numerous school children of that time who were abused in this way, are today disillusioned, unemployed youths with serious welfare and social problems. This, while radicals who abused them, now wash their hands in innocence saying “they are suffering for the cause”.

It is the responsibility of the South African Police to preserve the internal security and peace. This task is executed diligently because it is in the interests of South African and the well-being of all its people. Therefore we will not hesitate to take suitable steps against those organisations which, at the expense of the children and the people of South Africa, promote their selfish revolutionary political motives.

I therefore regard my reply to question 23, which I supplied to the hon member on 26 May 1988, as sufficient.

(1) and (2)

Toilets at police stations have already been opened to all races for a considerable time. As far as could be ascertained, all notice boards relating to race have been removed.

1. (1) No, (2) falls away.

This matter vests in the Administrator of Transvaal and he furnished the following information:

1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) July 1985.
   2. (b) R. A. Searle and P. K. Searle.
2. (2) No steps have been taken against these persons. An application for a concession to occupy the premises is under consideration at present.

Mr Chairman, according to my information permission has once again been applied for.

Mr Chairman, the authority to grant permits has been delegated to the Administrator of the Transvaal and, in the other cases, to the other Administrators.

Mr Chairman, apparently the hon member does not have the correct facts. If he wishes to lodge a complaint in this connection, he is free to lodge a complaint at the nearest police station. If an application is made for a permit, it is addressed to the Administrator of the Transvaal, who has the authority to grant or refuse a permit.

Order! The question now put by the hon member will be the last supplementary question.

1. (a) Yes,
   1. (i) to establish both the unity of the Department and the separate identity of each provincial education department,
   2. (ii) on each letterhead appears the blazon of the Department of Education and Culture and at the bottom the blazon of the relevant education department; the words Department of Education and Culture, the name and address of the particular provincial education department are given in both languages;
      1. (aa) falls away;
2. (b) no;
   1. (i) and (ii) fall away,
      1. (bb) a standardized compliment slip has not been designed.

(for the Minister of Local Government and Housing):

Yes, by Rent Board, Cape Town;

1. (a) 119 applications;
2. (b) Each application is considered with regard to section 6 of the Rent Control Act of 1976 in terms of which restoration and other improvements, increases in rates, water and electricity tariffs have an influence. The average increase was 25,58%

[Reply laid upon the Table with leave of House]:

1. (2) yes, a preliminary report in respect of (b) has been submitted to the Committee of Heads of Education; the matter is being further investigated;
2. (3) yes, should it be deemed necessary.

Yes, a member of an education council who is not a full-time member of the Public Service receives an allowance.

Sessional allowances payable are:

Chairman: R218,07 per session day,

Member: R172,18 per session day.
