Tourism Information and Infrastructure in Buffalo City EPD researchers worked closely with the Buffalo City Metropolitan Development Agency on a new Tourism Infrastructure Masterplan. They helped the Agency to develop a hub or gateway precinct on the beachfront for tourists entering the city, and also prepared six outdoor heritage walking tours in East London, King Williams Town and Dimbaza. These focus on the hidden histories of the city, such as boxing, and aim to create new heritage-tourism products in the townships and to make such experiences more accessible and meaningful to city residents. The project uses free Wi-Fi stations, cell phones, new software, digital heritage and place-making technologies to make the products especially attractive to young people.

Enhancing the Impact of Food and Nutrition Policies The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN (FAO) commissioned EPD researchers to investigate how to increase the impact of the South African Government’s plan to overcome hunger and malnutrition. The study focused on the Department of Agriculture’s information management system to coordinate food and nutrition programmes in several priority districts.

Data users hail mostly from South Africa (61.8%) and a smaller number (38.2%) from other countries (Figure 9). Most of the data users from international institutions are from the USA (12.7%) and the United Kingdom (6.4%), but data sets were also requested by users from many other countries reflecting 1 to 4 individuals per country. Of the South African data users, only 7% were HSRC staff members compared to 93% who were external individuals.

In the 2019/20 financial year geospatial analysis added value to a number of projects. For example, for the project on the Socioeconomic Impact of Liquor in Mpumalanga, geo-coding the data and calculating the density of liquor outlets per population enabled a spatial understanding of where high concentrations of A liquor outlets are situated. This, in turn, enabled the formulation of geo-targeted policies.

The Idea of Transformative Social Policy: on sustainable human wellbeing? Historical and Securing Wellbeing in the African Context contemporary cases were used to demonstrate the strength of the transformative approach to The HSRC, through its Research use and Impact social policy in Africa. For instance, the proposed Assessment (RIA) Unit, organised a seminar with National Health Insurance in South Africa seeks not the theme ‘Transformative social policy: securing to reform but transform the healthcare system and A wellbeing in the African context’. The seminar ensure that the majority of the people have access attracted a diverse audience including academics, to good quality care irrespective of socioeconomic policy actors, government departments, media, status. Transformative social policy is concerned civil society and the public and sought to debunk with equality and social solidarity which requires the notion of transformation social policy and changing the structural barriers to economic activities experiences across Africa. It was led by Prof. Jimi and allowing equitable access to essential services, O Adesina who is an NRF SARChI Chair in Social be these education, pension, health, economic Policy at the College of Graduate Studies at Unisa. activities or other social services. The key seminar The audience was reminded of the conceptual message was that transformative social policy meaning of social policy and more importantly its needs to be understood more as an evaluative function. Social policy is defined as “…collective framework (see Figure 21) that allows policy public efforts at affecting and protecting the makers and those in power to frame economic social well-being of the people within a given and hence social policies with this in mind. territory.” (Adesina 2007, 2009) and is concerned with, amongst other factors, the redistributive effects of economic policy; protection of people from the negative impact of the market and the changing circumstances of life; improvement of the productive potential of people; and enhancing social cohesion. The question of transformative social policy was then addressed by looking at its fundamental logic which is about social solidarity and focuses on equality. The seminar looked at the following critical questions: 1. What questions does one ask of social policy in contexts requiring social and economic Professor Adesina is leading the transformation?; and 2. How does social policy reconceptualisation of social policy on work in tandem with economic policy to deliver the African continent

Revenue collection achieved 80% against budget estimates for the 2019/20 financial year and 91% for the 2018/19 year. This reduction in achievement was due to certain research activities that could not be realised against secured funding. Delays experienced included postponement of activities planned for the final quarter when international travel restrictions and the South African national lockdown impacted negatively on the feasibility of planned activities.

Delegates included scientists, medical practitioners, representatives from the public sector, NGOs, faith-based organisations and the corporate sector. The HSRC has always used this conference as a key platform to present its research, disseminate important findings and profile its researchers. At this conference, the HSRC focused on sharing some of the key findings of the SABSSM 5 household survey. Prof. Khangelani Zuma delivered a keynote address to the opening plenary session entitled ‘Where are we: statistics, successes, failures and challenges’.

Twenty-eight (28) employees attended international conferences, whilst an equal number attended national conferences and four (4) employees attended regional conferences. The HSRC also offered 42 bursaries to employees as part of skills development and career enhancement.

Employment and Vacancies as at 31 March The table below captures the details of all permanent employees and those on long-term contracts, i.e. 12 months or longer, including those whose salaries are recovered from project funding. The approved vacancies, however, only depict approved Parliamentary Grant-funded positions. The number of vacancies is therefore informed by a comparison between approved posts and the actual number of employees and is not a direct reflection of the Parliamentary Grant-funded appointments only.

* The HSRC intentionally delayed the recruitment and appointment of certain senior positions in order to remain compliant with the National Treasury instructions on the salary cap and in anticipation of a realigned organisational structure. When considering the details in relation to Top Management tabled above, it is important to note that the HSRC Board considered the combined role of Group Executive: Shared Services (GE:SS) and Chief Financial Officer, and resolved to revert to the original two positions. The GE:SS position has been vacant since September 2019. The unique combination of skills required to fill this position, as well as the salary offer, have made it difficult to fill the position.

Report on the Audit of the Annual Performance Report Introduction and Scope 10. In accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA) and the general notice E issued in terms thereof, I have a responsibility to report on the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information against predetermined objectives for the selected programme presented in the annual performance report. I performed procedures to identify material findings but not to gather evidence to express assurance.

11. My procedures address the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information, which must be based on the approved performance planning documents of the entity. I have not evaluated the completeness and appropriateness of the performance indicators included in the planning documents. My procedures do not examine whether the actions taken by the entity enabled service delivery. My procedures also do not extend to any disclosures or assertions relating to planned performance strategies and information in respect of future periods that may be included as part of the reported performance information. Accordingly, my findings do not extend to these matters.

12. I evaluated the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information in accordance with the criteria developed from the performance management and reporting framework, as defined in the general notice, for the following selected programme presented in the annual performance report of the entity for the year ended 31 March 2020:

Pages in the Annual Programme Performance Report Programme 2 – Research, development and innovation 67–70

13. I performed procedures to determine whether the reported performance information was properly presented and whether performance was consistent with the approved performance planning documents. I performed further procedures to determine whether the indicators and related targets were measurable and relevant, and assessed the reliability of the reported performance information to determine whether it was valid, accurate and complete.

14. I did not identify any material findings on the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information for the selected programme.

Other Matter

15. I draw attention to the matter below.

Achievement of Planned Targets

16. Refer to the annual performance report on pages 63 to 72 for information on the achievement of planned targets for the year and explanations provided for the under/over achievement of a number of targets.

Report on the Audit of Compliance with Legislation Introduction and Scope

17. In accordance with the PAA and the general notice issued in terms thereof, I have a responsibility to report material findings on the entity’s compliance with specific matters in key legislation. I performed procedures to identify findings but not to gather evidence to express assurance.

18. I did not identify any material findings on compliance with the specific matters in key legislation set out in the general notice issued in terms of the PAA.

I consideredinternalcontrolrelevant tomyreportedperformance auditofthefinancialstatements, information (continued) Annexure – Auditor-General’s Responsibility for the Audit

1. As part of an audit in accordance with the ISAs, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout my audit of the financial statements and the procedures performed on reported performance information for the selected programme and on the entity’s compliance with respect to the selected subject matters. Financial Statements E 2. In addition to my responsibility for the audit of the financial statements as described in this auditor’s report, I also:

• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks; and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Accounting Authority • conclude on the appropriateness of the Accounting Authority’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements. I also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Human Sciences Research Council to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements about the material uncertainty or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion on the financial statements. My conclusions are based on the information available to me at the date of this auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause an entity to cease operating as a going concern • evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and determine whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Communication with Those Charged with Governance

3. I communicate with the Accounting Authority regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.

4. I also confirm to the Accounting Authority that I have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to have a bearing on my independence and, where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

11.4.2 Key Demographic Assumptions

The demographic assumptions were consistent in the previous and current valuation period, and are as noted below: Normal retirement age – 60 years E Employment age used for past service period: Actual service entry ages

Assumption Active Employees Continuation Members Age difference between spouses Three years Proportion married in retirement Proportion married table Actual marital status used

Example at Proportion Married Stated Date (Male and Female) 20 1.30% 25 12.90% 30 48.30% 35 70.20% 40 80.90% 45 84.70% 50 84.90% 55 86.00% 60 90.00%

11.4.3 Continuation Percentages

It was assumed, in the previous valuation and current valuation, that continuation of the post-employment healthcare subsidy would be at 100% at retirement age.

11.4.4 Income Brackets at Retirement

It is fairly common to expect a continuation member’s income to be lower than the income earned just prior to retirement. The difference between the income after retirement and the income just prior to retirement is referred to as the Net Replacement Ratio (NRR). The NRR is used to reduce the expected salary on retirement. We have assumed a NRR on retirement of 75%. A salary inflation assumption is used to adjust the salary from the current date to the date of retirement. This assumption should be considered in conjunction with the assumed CPI rate.

11.4.5 Withdrawal and Ill Health Assumptions

The withdrawal assumptions have been set in line with those generally observed in the South African market. They are consistent with the previous valuation period, and noted on the table below:

2020 2019 March March R’000 R’000 E 12 Analysis of Surplus/Deficit

Surplus/(deficit) recorded 28 283 (1 449)

The surplus incurred in the current year was primary due to a significant decrease in the staff cost in the organisation resulting from the moratorium placed on appointments applicable in the financial year. The decrease in operating expenditure has also contributed to the surplus incurred.

The prior year deficit was largely as a result of the organisation failing to meet its external income target, which resulted in fixed costs being incurred without recovery from projects. This position is anticipated to turn around in the new quarter with a number of large projects expected to commence. This will improve recoveries, which should offset fixed costs incurred by the organisation. The deficit was also as a result of debtors outstanding for more than 120 days which were provided for as bad debts.

The surplus/deficit annual declaration to National Treasury is calculated in accordance with Instruction number 12 of 20120/21 and amounted to R45.518 million.

30 Financial Instruments
