5 A. MAYORAL COMMITTEE MEETING: 10 JULY 2019: ANNEXURE A.1 III. MATTERS CONSIDERED Reference No 70478/1 Stephens Notoane (3773) MAYORAL COMMITTEE: 10 July 2019 1. UTILITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT PROGRESS REPORT ON MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION LOSSES (From the Executive Committee: 10 June 2019) 1. PURPOSE The purpose of the report is to provide progress report on the electricity distribution losses (non-technical and technical losses), and the 2018/19 financial year implementation plan in line with five-year strategy to deal with the electricity distribution losses across the City’s Regions. 2. STRATEGIC PILLARS The Strategic Pillar to be addressed: Pillar 3: A City that delivers excellent services and protects the environment. Priority 11: Delivering high quality services. A City that delivers excellent services and protects the environment. Priority 11: Delivering high quality services. 3. BACKGROUND The City of Tshwane electricity distribution losses have been in the increase for the past 5 financial years with an exception of a slight decrease in 2017/18. The electricity losses are the results of technical and non-technical losses which are termed distribution losses (see figure 1 below). The technical losses are attributed to the inherent network losses which are the results of electricity transmission and distribution from the point of supply to the point of consumption (see figure 2). As noted in figure 2, the electrical equipment such as transformers, cables, power lines, switchgears, metering equipment, etc. contribute significantly to the technical losses. Figure1: Distribution losses (source: www.sapub.org) Figure 2: Technical Losses illustration (source: www.pinterest.com) However, the major challenge of the distribution losses remains non-technical losses which are attributed to administrative errors, illegal connection, professional theft of
6 electricity, tampering with the metering devises, unmetered connections, and employees’ fraudulent conduct and under billing/metering of the connected loads. The non-technical losses have accounted between 7 to 13% of the total expected revenue in the past 5 financial years. The non-technical losses have been estimated to be R650 million annually. The electricity losses have been increasing in the past five financial years with only an exception of a slight decrease in 2017/18. In emphasizing the specifics on the losses, the 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and 2017/18 financial years recorded 19.2%, 20.58% and 19.75% respectively. Figure 3 indicates the five-year electricity losses. The base electricity losses for 2018/19 FY is 19.75%. Figure 3: Historical Energy losses for the past financial years. 4. DISCUSSION Unaccounted Electricity (Distribution Losses) losses are made of technical and non- technical losses. These losses are made of the difference between electricity purchased inclusive of own generation (kWh) and electricity sold (kWh). Technical losses is inherent to the electricity distribution infrastructure and it is normally capital-intensive to minimise and based on the number of transformers, kilometres of distribution of cables and lines, class accuracy of our meters (STS compliance) and other network connected equipments to Tshwane electrical network is fixed at 7%. Non-technical losses (commercial losses) are mainly the result of administrative and technical errors, negligence, professional theft of electricity, tampering with meters, under-billing, unmetered connections incorrect settings of HV consumptions instruments like Current Transformers (CTs) and Voltage Transformers (CTs) ratios and illegal connections. Electricity distribution losses are also defined as 'unaccounted for electricity’ or commercial losses plus technical losses and are determined as indicated in the Table A below: Table A: Electricity Distribution Losses Calculation Formulae Category kWh (2017/18) Percentage A = 9 751 926 117 100% A Electricity Purchased B Electricity Generated B=0 0% C Total Electricity Sales C = 7 775 860 521 80.25% Own Use (Streetlights, D = 3% of [ (A +B) – C ] D 3% Highmasts, Traffic = 59 281968 Signal & Buildings)

Then the power get evacuated or transported to over 88 Substations (Primary and Secondary Substations), resulting in less Electricity at the point of sales. Based on the approved tariffs (Time of Use) and flat rates for the different customers, allocate the energy purchased and compare it with what is on SAP System and Suprema for sales. Hence the interdependence between Group Finance and Utility Services. In addressing the non-technical losses that have been on the rise for the past financial years, the Energy and Electricity Divisions identified several causes (drivers) of the losses. The programme of action to curb these losses is put in place and executed against the target set. This 2018/19 implementation plan is revised in line with allocated budget and IDP targets. The envisage reduction is to reduce the losses from 19.75% to a target of 16% by the financial year end. Table B below indicates a progress to date.

(COT period 13 reconciliation include energy purchased during that month). The losses as indicated has been on decline in the past 3 years, however above the norms. The Network losses due to old infrastructure and vast network are standardised at 7% (which is within regulatory tolerance based on the age of network and infrastructures. Own consumptions and streetlights (248 000) burning on average for 10hrs and based on Eskom streetlight and highmasts lights (2000) and traffic signals intersections (1022) account for 3% of energy consumption but not paid for. Therefore, 10% of Non-Revenue Energy is accounted for energy. The focus of the Department is to address the Unaccounted for Energy (non-technical or commercial losses), which is standing at 12.27% by end of Quarter 3 of 2018/19 as per programme in Table B above.

For technical losses, the focus of the Department is the replacement of obsolete and non-function equipments in substations, including the rollout of power quality meters at 10 infeed substations, 67 primary substation and 7 secondary substation. Through this intervention, COT will be able to do load balancing to avoid grid collapse. The complete replacement of 13000 PEU/TUMS meters will add impetus to the efforts to reverse the losses due to administrative and professional theft of electricity. To date a total of 3200 meters have been replaced. 5. COMMENTS OF THE STAKEHOLDER DEPARTMENTS 5.1 COMMENTS OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER Cognisance is taken of the contents of the report. There are no financial implications emanating as a result of this report for the City of Tshwane as the purpose of the report is to provide a progress report on the electricity distribution losses (non-technical and technical losses) in line with the five-year Energy and Electricity Division (EED) strategy to deal with the electricity distribution losses across the City’s regions. 5.2 COMMENTS OF THE GROUP HEAD: GROUP LEGAL AND SECRETARIAT SERVICES The purpose of this report is to provide progress report on the electricity distribution losses (non-technical and technical losses) in line with five-year Energy and Electricity Division (EED) strategy to deal with the electricity distribution losses across the City’s regions.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT (WASTE MANAGEMENT) OPERATING MODEL FOR WASTE STORAGE AND SORTING FACILITY FOR ALL THE REGIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF TSHWANE (From the Executive Committee: 24 June 2019) 1. PURPOSE The purpose of the report is to present and request the approval of the City waste storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play as a catalyst through integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in order to achieve waste separation and minimization across the City. 2. STRATEGIC PILLARS This report seeks to address the following strategic pillar(s), namely: Strategic Pillar 1: A City that facilitates economic growth and job creation; and Strategic Pillar 2: A City that cares for residents and promotes exclusivity. The City of Tshwane’s vision 2030 commits to developing and implementing a waste management operating model that is geared towards promoting waste minimization as well as hazardous and industrial waste management. Tshwane Vision strategic actions include waste management infrastructure investment separation at source recycling. It is within this background that this model seeks to promote, encourage, and shift all waste related activities to a system that follows the principles of ‘cradle to grave approach’. This is also outlined in the City of Tshwane’s Strategic Framework on Green economy. 3. BACKGROUND City of Tshwane is responsible for 28 million tonnes of carbon dioxide to Green House Gas Emission (GHG) Inventory in 2014/15. Waste Sector is the second which contributes to at least 39% after Energy sector. It is therefore, compelling for the City to implement aggressive interventions which will assist in reducing the carbon emissions. Investment in the recycling facilities and infrastructure is identified as one of the key measures to enhance the program of diverting waste from the landfill sites. Section 152 (1) (d) of the Constitution of the Republic (Act 108 of 1996), stipulates that local government should promote a safe and healthy environment. The National Environmental Management Waste Act, which came into effect on 1 July 2010 (Act No.59 of 2008), requires that waste minimisation be considered by municipalities in addition to the traditional municipal waste management services such as cleaning, collection and disposal to landfill. One of the game changing actions articulated in the City’s Vision is waste minimization. It is projected that by 2020, the City will enjoy the
14 benefits of waste minimization. However, the journey of igniting excellence on the matter starts now. 4. DISCUSSION A waste sorting facility is where informal recyclers in the in the city would have access to on a daily basis to store and sort recyclable waste. It is anticipated that the informal recyclers would be able to securely store their waste over-night as opposed to leave it unattended in the streets across the City. This facility would address the problem of informal recyclers sorting waste in an uncoordinated manner across the City. South African waste management, and to be specific, City of Tshwane Metropolitan municipality seeks to adopt a new and more sustainable policy based paradigm, where dependency on landfilling is reduced and energy generation, recycling, composting , reuse and reduction are encouraged. Informal waste reclaimers operate in an unregulated world of day to day personal injury; poor health and exploitation are commonplace. It is estimated that there are more than 150 000 reclaimers estimated to be active in the South African integrated waste system (IWS), working and parallel to the formal waste management system. The approval of this proposed model will assist in enhancing and improving the waste management systems of the City, whilst also empowering, eradicating poverty and creating green sustainable jobs in a coordinated manner. 5. INTEGRATED RECYCLING PROGRAM APPROACH There is a need for an increase in environmental awareness as well as a shift to promote sustainable waste management approaches that will solely focus on “reduce, re-use and recycling”. The City is therefore forging to extend their waste management systems in order to include recycling and informal reclaimers within their waste management practices.
15 It is a fact that South African municipalities face multiple challenges, such as, rapid population growth, urbanization, lack of capital finance for new infrastructure and equipment, lack of public awareness and buy-in into new approaches, conflicting interests between numerous operators, cooperatives and informal reclaimers. Irrespective of the challenges highlighted above the City of Tshwane is striving to meet the goals set in the National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS), whilst also shifting their waste management practices towards multi-dimensional approach. This requires serious consideration of how existing waste management systems and practices can be changed and improved. Waste management systems are often complex, and not necessarily technologically, but in terms of social and economic dimensions. It is a fact that working inside the system comprises of diverse actors and stakeholders, and of these are playing different roles, especially because they are competing for the recyclable materials in the waste stream. There is a need for an integrated new management system to shape the way in which waste materials are managed. Countries such as Costa Rica, Brazil, Philippines, India and Singapore have a clear view of available integration models and South African government and City of Tshwane can adopt these case studies, lessons and integration strategies from the above mentioned countries. Upon completing construction of the facility, the following elements for operationalizing the centres need to be implemented: Minimum requirements for the registration of informal recyclers. The informal recyclers will be required to have the following minimum requirements to be accepted to operate from the facility: • Must have valid South African Identity Document; • Must have a permanent resident permit of South Africa; • Must be available on the database that will managed by the onsite supervisor; • Must have identification (access card); and • Must be older than 18 years. 5.1 Stakeholders roles and responsibilities: a.

COMMENTS OF THE STAKEHOLDER DEPARTMENTS 6.1 COMMENTS OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER Cognisance is taken of the contents of the report. The purpose of this report is to present and request the approval on City waste storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play as a catalyst through integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in order to achieve waste separation and minimization across the City. Having due regard to the contents of the report, Group Financial Services support the objectives of the proposed initiative as the successful implementation of the model will contribute towards The City’s Vision and City becoming a smart, sustainable, and green City. The implementation of City’s waste storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions will not bear any financial implications on the City’s budget. Group Financial Services will render further financial comments on future reports in this regard. 6.2 COMMENTS OF THE GROUP HEAD: GROUP LEGAL AND SECRETARIAT SERVICES The purpose of this report is to present and request the approval on City waste storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play as a catalyst through integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in order to achieve waste separation and minimization across the City. Section 152 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (hereafter referred to as the (Constitution) places an obligation on the Local Government to promote social and economic development and to promote a safe and healthy environment, and the municipality must strive within its financial and administrative constraints to achieve these objectives.
19 In terms of Section 11 (3) (a) (l) & (n) of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act No. 32 of 2000) (hereafter referred to as the “MSA”), a municipality exercises its legislative or executive authority by developing and adopting policies, plans, strategies and programs, including setting of targets for delivery, promoting a safe and healthy environment and doing anything else within its legislative and executive competence. Section 15 of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act No. 56 of 2003) (hereafter referred to as “MFMA”) requires the municipality to incur expenditures in terms of the approved budget and within limits of the amounts appropriated for the different votes in an approved budget. Having taken regard to the aforesaid and with specific reference to the contents of the report, Group Legal Services Department support the approval of the report and the recommendations. 6.3 COMMENTS OF THE GROUP HEAD: GROUP HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The purpose of the report is to seek approval on the City waste storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play as a catalyst through integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in order to achieve waste separation and minimisation across the City. Though the report indicated that it does not have Human Resource Implications, it however have an implication on the operating hours of the employees due to the shift system as well as the functions/duties recommended in the report. Upon completing construction of the facility; request form for assistance with the following must be submitted to Group Human Capital Department: • Operating hours to accommodate shift system; and • Functions in terms of managing the operational of the model. The Group Human Capital Department takes cognisance of the report and support the approval of the recommendations thereof. 6.4 COMMENTS OF THE GROUP HEAD: REGIONAL OPERATIONS AND COORDINATION The purpose of the report is, 'to present and request the approval on City waste storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play as a catalyst through integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in order to achieve waste separation and minimization across the City'. ROC takes cognisance of the contents of the report. Waste minimization is key to ensuring a cleaner environmental sustainability. Waste storage and sorting facilities will assist in ensuring that waste is minimised through recycling.
20 The operational model will also ensure that informal recyclers are formalised. This is an important milestone in the operational model to ensure that the vulnerable citizens of the City are brought into the mainstream economy. Regions will also benefit considering that the City is running out of space for current landfill sites to accommodate endless waste. It is prudent that the waste division involve Regions from the onset of creating the facilities and when rolling out the operational model. Considering the envisaged benefits to be accrued by the creation of the storage and sorting facilities across Regions, and benefits to be realised by the informal recyclers, ROC supports the report, its objectives and recommendations. 7. IMPLICATIONS 7.1 HUMAN RESOURCES None. 7.2 FINANCES None. 7.3 CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL FACTORS The operational mechanisms of these waste storage facilities is in line with Section 24 of the Constitution of South Africa (Bill of Rights) which indicates that everyone has the right to a safe and healthy environment and to have the environment protected for current and future generations. 7.4 COMMUNICATION All relevant stakeholders will be engaged and communicated on the outcome of this model 7.5 PREVIOUS COUNCIL OR MAYORAL COMMITTEE RESOLUTIONS None 8. CONCLUSION The successful implementation of the waste storage and sorting facility will contribute towards The City’s Vision and City becoming a smart, sustainable, and green City.

22 Reference No 76622/1 Tich Mekhoe (4715) MAYORAL COMMITTEE: 10 July 2019 3. COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SOUTH AFRICAN PRECISION SPORT SHOOTING FEDERATION (SAPSSF) FOR THE HOSTING OF THE 2019 WORLD RIMFIRE AND AIR RIFLE BENCHREST SHOOTING CHAMPIONSHIPS (From the Special Executive Committee: 3 June 2019) 1. PURPOSE The purpose of the report is to request for approval to enter into a partnership with the South African Precision Sport Shooting Federation for the hosting of the 2019 World Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest Shooting Championships that will take place during the last week of July and the first week of August. 2. STRATEGIC PILLARS Strategic Pillar 1: A City that facilitates economic growth and job creation; and Strategic Pillar 2: A City that cares for residents and promotes inclusivity. 3. BACKGROUND The SAPSSF (South African Precision Sport Shooting Federation) is an accredited Sport Shooting Federation with SAPS (South African Police Service) and is affiliated to SASSCO (South African Sport Shooting Confederation) which in turn is affiliated to SASCOC (South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee). The SAPSSF is a member of WRABF (World Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest Federation) which is the international governing body for Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest shooting. In April 2018, the Department received a request from the SAPSSF for the City to partner with them in hosting the 2019 World Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest Shooting Championships. This follows the application the Federation made to South African Confederation and Olympic Committee (SACOC) which was duly approved. The Competition will be held at the Krokodilspruit Shooting Range from the last week of July until the first week of August 2019. Pursuant to the request, the Department engaged with the representatives of the Federation to establish all the necessary facts about the event and what the expectations are from the City. Upon the establishment of all the facts, the Department was satisfied with the information provided and the fact that the event does resonate with the City’s broader strategic objectives and one five focus areas that will create economic growth which is labour absorbing, will provide many more residents with new employment opportunities and further the development. The hosting of the event also responds to the objective of creating a caring and inclusive City that reflects our heritage through sporting events that embraces our shared heritage, thus building a socially cohesive and integrated communities.
23 4. DISCUSSION The World Championship Competition is held every 4 years and is hosted by a member country. The World Cup and European Cup events are also hosted every 4 years in the middle year between World Championships. The international competition is thus held every 2nd year. Previous hosting countries were USA, Czech Republic, Italy, Australia and Slovenia. South Africa made a bid during 2011 to host the 2019 World Championships in South Africa and the bid was accepted in 2015. South Africa is one of the countries with the most competitive Rimfire and Air Rifle benchrest shooters in the World. At the 2017 World Cup competition that was held in Progersko, Slovenia, South Africa performed well in the Air Rifle division as the Junior Proteas won Silver and Bronze medals in the light varmint class, and Gold in heavy varmint. The Senior Proteas also excelled in Air Rifle heavy varmint winning Gold (world record score of 747/750 by Billy Chamberlain) and Silver, with six Protea shooters finishing among the top ten. The SA teams, consisting of three members, won Gold and Silver, with the C team placed seventh out of 31 teams in heavy varmint. South Africa has several shooting ranges where bench rest is practised. However only two ranges meet the international requirements regarding size and they are the Milnerton Range in Cape Town and the Krokodilspruit Shooting Range in Pta. Due to the fact that most member countries are based in Europe, the competition is always held during the last week of July and the first week of August. This coincides with the European summer holidays. Weather conditions during July and August are not favourable in Cape Town, therefore the organising committee decided to host the competition at the Krokodilspruit Shooting range in Pretoria. Hosting a World Championships event requires funding to make it a success. The one major advantage that the City has is an established Shooting Range with proper infrastructure readily available. To ensure the successful hosting of the event, the City has to be involved in supporting and committing some funds towards the required logistics of hosting such an event. The only way the City can be able to assist in this regard as per the prescripts of the MFMA would be to enter into a partnership or sponsorship agreement with the organizers of the competition. The agreement will detail in full the commitment of the City and the specific responsibilities of all the parties to the agreement. In line with the Comments of CSOP and that of the COO the benefits accruing to the City in supporting the championships are outlined as follows; namely: • The City's Logo will be included in all marketing and public material thereby enhancing the image of the City both nationally and internationally; • The MMC will deliver a key note address and also handover prizes at the end of the event; • Local small businesses will be given a platform to display and sell their products which includes arts and craft and sport merchandise;
24 • The hospitality industry will benefit immensely from hotel accommodation, shuttle services, food etc.; • Temporary jobs and opportunities for SMMEs e.g. Casual cleaning staff, target crew for changing of targets, catering and provision of lunch to participants and supports on the shooting range and provision of transport; • Over a 1 000 spectators from various cities in South Africa to attend the event; • 200 participants from various countries to visit Tshwane; and • 10% of participants (about 20) will stay longer and the Tourism Division will make available destination information packs for tourists to visit Tshwane tourism attractions. 5.

CITY STRATEGY AND ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE DEPARTMENT CITY OF TSHWANE (COT) STATUS UPDATE ON THE DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (From the Executive Committee: 24 June 2019) 1. PURPOSE The purpose of the report is to provide a status update on the implementation of departmental Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and departmental Memorandums of Agreement (MoAs) as at 31 March 2019. 2. STRATEGIC PILLARS 2.1 A City that delivers excellent services and protects the environment; and 2.2 A City that is open, honest and responsive. 3. BACKGROUND The new vision of the City of Tshwane capitalises on Tshwane’s position as South Africa’s capital of opportunity and on the approach that is needed to focus on transforming the city’s social and economic spheres. The City of Tshwane views partnerships as critical in advancing growth and development. In terms of the provisions of Section 41(1)(h) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, all spheres of government and all organs of state in each sphere must cooperate with one another in mutual trust and good faith by fostering friendly relations; assist and support one another; inform one another of, and consult one another on, matters of common interest; coordinate their actions and legislation with one another; adhere to agreed procedures; and avoid legal actions against one another. Furthermore, Section 153 of the Constitution provides that a municipality must structure and manage its administration as well as budgeting and planning processes to give priority to the needs of the local community, and to promote the social and economic development of the community.

28 committed to as well as ensure the establishment, coordination and proper management of all MoUs and MoAs. Departments and entities can contact CSOP to establish and coordinate MoUs and MoAs with stakeholders. CSOP must provide guidelines and a standard operating procedure for the establishment of MoUs and MoAs and ensure that departments enter into MoUs and MoAs without deviating from the supply chain process. 4.1 Progress on implementation of MoUs and MoAs In the previous financial year all departments and entities were required to complete and submit progress reports on the status of MoUs and MoAs. Consequently, this report sets out progress with the implementation of MoUs and MoAs by the City of Tshwane in the financial year concerned. However, the following challenges are still experienced with the submission of MoUs and MoAs by departments: • Reporting timelines still not adhered by some departments; • There are still some departments that do not forward the signed agreements to CSOP for noting but there has been some effort made by other department in this regard; • Some agreements are not signed or vetted by the legal, this is slightly improving as departments have been constantly engaging CSOP seeking advice this process; • No indication of the intention to renew expired agreements; and • Guiding templates populated but with no adequate and complete information. The following departments have existing MoUs and MoAs with strategic partners, including academic partners: o Environment and Agriculture Management; o Economic Development and Spatial Planning; o City Sustainability Unit; o City Strategy and Organisational Performance; o Health and Social Development; o Emergency Services; o Roads and Transport; o Shared Services; o Community and Social Development Services; o Housing and Human Settlements; and o Human Capital Management.

All MoUs and MoAs must be vetted by the Contract Management Division of Legal and Secretariat Services. Legal Services must also forward policy guidelines and a MoU template to all departments, or departments should contact CSOP for guidance. A standard operating procedure (SOP) on MoUs and MoAs must be developed by CSOP and shared with all departments and entities. Each department must submit a quarterly report on progress with the implementation of MoUs and MoAs to the Strategic Relations Coordination Division, who will consolidate the information and produce a conclusive report to be presented to the Executive Committee or Mayoral Committee on a quarterly basis. CSOP and Legal Services must do short-term and long-term intervention. 4.2.1 Short-term intervention Short-term intervention is aimed at mainly those departments who have not finalised progress reports on the implementation of plans. The intervention is looking at assisting in data cleaning, making sure that the lists (MoU/MoA database) are complete and contain all the required information for preparing a conclusive and consolidated database. If senior departmental managers directly intervene to ensure that the required information on MoUs and MoAs is provided to CSOP, complete and relevant information can be shared throughout the organisation. 4.2.2 Long-term intervention Group Legal to assist CSOP and provide a summary of all signed agreements on a monthly basis. 5.
