End May Newsletter End May 2019 Issue No.05 1. PRINCIPAL’S CORNER In announcing the new Free State Executive Council of the 6th demo- cratic dispensation, Honourable Premier Sefora “Sisi” Ntombela stated that, “The struggle for radical socio-economic change is the cornerstone of our mandate, and we shall ensure that the visions contained in the Freedom Charter are realised. We are concerned about the high levels of unemployment, especially amongst the youth. Statistics show that almost three hundred thousand youth are unemployed in Free State. This represents 48% of the entire unemployed population”. Undoubtedly, this new Executive Council is seized with the responsibility of uplifting many of our youths and women out of the bondage of unemployment, inequality and poverty. Through sport, arts, culture and recreation, we shall create an environ- ment that is abundant with opportunities for all the people of the Free State to explore their talents and express their innovations. The Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation (DSACR) is funda- mentally seeking to “Champion Social Transformation” as stated in its vision statement. In doing so, we commit to accelerating sport tourism and unlocking all economic opportunities within the arts and culture sector. We are guided by the need to build a modern developmental state that has the means to drive economic and social transformation, to embrace innovation and to direct effort and resources towards where they will have the greatest impact. With this in mind, it is also befitting to commend the ruling party for appointing a significant number of young people into the 6th Executive Council. This is in fulfilment of our commitment to giving young people roles of responsibility in all sectors of society and forms part of a generational transition in which we are creating a pipeline of leaders to take our country further into the future. Let’s grow South Africa together! MEC:Ms Sport,LP Arts, Mahasa Culture and Recreation 1 2.

POLICY SPOTLIGHT NORMAL SICK LEAVE An employee is entitled to 36 working days sick leave with full pay over a three-year cycle. Any unused sick leave credits shall lapse at the expiry of the three-year cycle. It is incumbent on the employee to utilise and manage his/her normal sick leave responsibly and with cir- cumspect. An employee must submit his/her application for sick leave in respect of clinical procedures in advance, unless the treating practitioner certifies that such procedures have to be conducted as an emergency. If overcome by a sudden illness or injury, the employee must personally notify his/her supervisor/manager immediately. A verbal message to the supervisor/manager by a relative, fellow employee or friend is only acceptable if the nature and/or extent of the illness/injury prevents the employee to inform the supervisor/ 6 manager personally. An employee must submit an application for sick leave personally or through a relative, fellow employee within 5 working days after the first day of absence. The employee’s supervisor/manager/ Head of Depart- ment and/or his/her delegate/must within two working days from receipt of the leave application form recommend/not recommend and/or approve/disapprove the application and submit to the relevant Human Resource division in the department. If the employee fails to submit an application within the period indicated above, the following arrange- ments apply: • The employee’s manager/supervisor must immediately notify the employee that if such application is not received within 2 working days, the leave period will be regarded as unpaid leave or annual leave. If the employee fails to submit the application on time or compelling reasons why an application cannot be submitted, the supervisor/manager must immediately inform the Human Resource division and the rel- evant authority shall approve such absence as unpaid leave or annual leave if the employee consents. The employee’s supervisor/manager/ Head of Departments and/or his/her delegate must within two working days from receipt of the leave application form recommend/not recommend and/or approve/disapprove this leave application and submit to the relevant Human Resource division in the department. • Failure by the employee to submit his/her application form within the stated periods, or failure by the supervisor/manager to properly manage it, must be viewed in a serious light and disciplinary steps against the employee and/or supervisor/manager should be taken. During the month of MAY we mourned the loss of: • Mr September Nkoe who was a Museum Officer at Provincial Museum Services.

The CHIEF WHIP OF THE MAJORITY PARTY moved: That the House suspends Rule 290(2)(a), which provides inter alia that the debate on the Second Reading of a Bill may not commence before at least three working days have elapsed since the committee’s report was tabled for the purposes of conducting the Second Reading debate today on the Adjustment Appropriation Bill and the Special Appropriation Bill. I so move House Chair. Declarations of Vote: UNREVISED HANSARD NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WEDNESDAY, 28 NOVEMBER 2018 Page: 2 Mr M WATERS: Chairperson, the wavering of the three day rule is a direct consequence of us having three months holiday from this Parliament. We become a sausage factory. We have pressurised all the committees to produce legislation at record speed. Yesterday in the Rules committee, we had a report from the high level panel whereby one of their concerns for Parliament was that we do not have proper public participation when dealing with legislation. We use it as window dressing. We do not take the inputs of the public seriously and this is one further example of how we are just using Parliament as a sausage machine. The DA will not be supporting this motion. Thank you. [Applause.] Question put. Motion agreed to (Democratic Alliance dissenting). The CHIEF WHIP OF THE MAJORITY PARTY: House Chairperson, I move with due respect the precedence be given to Third Order and Fourth Order as they appear on the Order Paper; which in simple language means that we will start our business today with Third UNREVISED HANSARD NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WEDNESDAY, 28 NOVEMBER 2018 Page: 3 Order and Forth Order and if so agreed; and then revert back to First Order and Second Order.

Critical trade-offs will likely become more apparent in 2020: though government is unwilling to consider meaningful job cuts at, or direct privatisation of, Eskom, it is nonetheless pushing forward with the utility’s unbundling and is evidently intent on supporting the deregulation of the energy sector, thus enabling far stronger private sector participation in electricity generation in order to alleviate the damaging effects of load-shedding on growth and confidence.

Honourable speaker, this budget speech is presented few weeks after hotly contested electoral campaigns. Our people in their overwhelming majority, adhered to the ANC’s invitation to grow South Africa together with them. They renewed the ANC’s mandate for the next five years, through a decisive majority. Speaker, our people did not do so without giving us a clear mandate. Through our interactions with them, when we knocked on their doors, they told us their expectations and what the 6th administration of the country should do to better their lives, reduce poverty and inequality. 1 | P a g e We therefore reaffirm and declare to the people of Dihlabeng that we heard them. This municipality’s programme of development is aligned to the clear mandate we received from the people to deliver sustainable services. Our people through their votes rejected false and misleading various research institutions, which alarmed us to the fact that the ANC is in trouble. They defended their organisation at the polls and endorsed the ANC to continue constructing a better country for all.
