ANC mulls proposal to cut Luthuli House headcount

The number of failed former ministers who have in the past been redeployed to the African National Congress's (ANC's) Luthuli House head office is set to be significantly reduced should the party adopt proposed constitutional amendments. A move to reduce to three the number of members deployed to permanent positions at Luthuli House is among the proposed constitutional amendments put forward by ANC structures. The proposals will be published on Tuesday. The proposed amendment limits the positions to secretary-general and two deputies. During a media briefing on Monday following the national executive committee (NEC) meeting over the weekend, Ronald Lamola confirmed that party structures had proposed various changes to the party's constitution. Lamola, the head of the party's constitutional development committee, said one of the most significant proposed changes was the introduction of a second deputy secretary-general. The party has had to redeploy more than five NEC members to the secretary-general's office since Ace Magashule's suspension and the death of his deputy, Jessie Duarte. As such, the proposal to have two deputy secretaries-general has found resonance among the party's structures. Lamola said that "with regards to the deputy secretary, the rationale is that we will need to have a second deputy secretary who will be able to be assigned specific responsibilities by the NEC". Should the proposed new resolution be adopted at the ANC's conference next month, the headcount of permanent staff deployed by the NEC will drop significantly. Several former ministers and NEC members, including Malusi Gigaba, Nomvula Mokonyane, Jeff Radebe, and NEC members Nkenke Kekana, Dakota Legoete, and Sibongile Besani, are employed at Luthuli House. It's been reported that these members are paid the equivalent of a deputy minister's salary, placing further strain on the party's already bloated salary bill. Over the last two years, the ANC has struggled to pay its administrative staff, with disgruntled employees speaking out over the late payment of their salaries. They have also had to make ends meet after only portions of their salaries were paid. Delegates attending the elective conference in Nasrec, Johannesburg, next month will vote on the proposal on the first day of the event, ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile said last week. Mashatile, who is also the acting secretary-general, said deliberations on the proposed change would also take place on the first day. Lamola said for the proposed change to take effect, at least three-quarters of voting delegates would have to support the constitutional amendment. Just more than 4 500 voting delegates will be attending the conference. Attempts to increase the number of positions for deputy secretaries-general and deputy presidents have failed in the past. The party's contentious step-aside rule is also expected to be put to a vote at the conference. The step-aside rule stems from the party's 2012 Mangaung conference, where delegates deliberated on what should happen when someone tarnished the organisation's image and integrity, usually after being linked to criminal charges. Given that no mechanisms were in place to ensure that members could be held accountable, the ANC's national elective conference in Nasrec in 2017 resolved to put specific guidelines in place and will now seek to strengthen the resolution by constitutionalising it. "Once the amendment is made, it can be applied in a manner that is transparent and is also consistent because when it's in the constitution, the NEC and any structures will be obliged to follow the constitution," Lamola said. He explained that all the proposed changes to the party's constitution were being advanced to "enhance the work of the ANC on renewal". "They should give the impetus to guide what was started at the 2017 elective conference in terms of restoring the image of the party," said Lamola.

Former Transnet chief executive officer (CEO) Brian Molefe, Anoj Singh, the parastatal's former finance boss, and their co-accused were granted bail on Monday after being arrested in connection with a R93-million corruption and fraud case linked to the procurement of 1 064 locomotives in 2015. The two former executives were joined in the dock by Niven Pillay and Litha Nyhonyha, directors at the Gupta-linked firm, Regiments Capital. The four men were granted R50 000 bail. The case has been postponed to 14 October. Earlier in the morning, six other people, who had already been charged in the matter, appeared briefly in the same courtroom. The six - another ex-Transnet group CEO, Siyabonga Gama, Regiment Capital's Eric Wood, former Transnet acting chief financial officer Garry Pita, former group treasurer Phetolo Ramosebudi, Trillian Asset Management director Daniel Roy and Kuben Moodley, owner of Albatime - previously appeared in court in May. Wood has requested that his bail conditions be amended. He will be back in court on 7 October for the hearing. The matter stems from a payment of R93-million to Trillian Capital, a Gupta-linked proxy company, to secure funding for the purchase of the locomotives. The transaction advisory contract was initially awarded to global investment bank, JP Morgan, before the deal was cancelled. It was subsequently awarded to Trillian. The estimated cost of the project ballooned from around R38-billion in 2012 to more than R50-billion. In its report, the Zondo Commission recommended that the police investigate Molefe, Gama and Singh for their alleged roles in siphoning money from Transnet to the Gupta family. A 2018 forensic report found that Molefe had misled the state-owned entity's board about its obligation to inform then-public enterprises minister Malusi Gigaba about the spike in the project's costs. BAIL APPLICATIONS During their first appearance, Molefe, Singh, Pillay and Nyhonyha detailed their personal circumstances to the court as they sought to secure bail. All four indicated that they intended to plead not guilty. Nyhonyha told the court he was married in community of property. He also said his children had previously studied in America and Britain, but that they had since returned home. He added that he held shares in various companies. Molefe said he didn't have any relatives outside of South Africa's borders. His lawyer, Mpho Molefe, told the court the former Eskom CEO was married with two minor children, who relied on him for support. He said he also supported his mother. Molefe said he received R52 000 monthly from his pension, and he earned a R12 000 salary from his directorship at a company. Singh's attorney, Anneline van den Heever, said he had no previous convictions and wasn't a flight risk. Van den Heever told the court her client wouldn't interfere with the State's evidence or witnesses.

Why has the ANC allowed these compromised individuals to return as public representatives? Is this a sign that Ramaphosa is struggling to implement an anti-corruption programme? Or is it a simple case of "innocent until proven guilty"? Most importantly, what will voters make of the decision? Alec Hogg and Felicity Duncan dig into these questions.

“Brought to you by Absa ETFs”  Simon Shares Discovery* (JSE code: DSY) results were top notch and complicated as they always are. I own this stock as the business model really works, but as I have mentioned before the complexity adds risk. Risk I am happy with as most stocks I own have real simple business models. JSE (JSE code: JSE) results show HEPS down 6%. But look at value being traded these days. R25billion a day has become a regular feature, last year average was around R15billion. That equals lots of extra revenue in this financial year. Mining charter back to the drawing board. Good for local miners (of which we have very few). January CPI dropped to 4.4%, interest cuts coming to a prime rate near you? But budget may add to inflation (fuel being the one, not directly but will increase transport costs so food inflation). Up coming events; ABSA NewFunds ETF seminars (DBN, CPT, JHB and webcast) * I Hold ungeared positions #Budget2018 Firstly I think Cyril Ramaphosa may have played it real smart by letting Malusi Gigaba deliver the budget. He can now spend the next year claiming it was not his budget but a Zuma legacy budget. Overall not the train smash expected but still lots of tax increases with R36billion of extra tax. Lots of cuts to spending, R86billion over three years and which has to actually happen. VAT increased to 15% (first change since 1993), with 19 basic food items being zero-rated. Cue everybody suddenly caring about how this will hurt the poor. “Wealthiest 30% of household contribute 85% of VAT revenue”.  "The Old age, disability and care dependency grants will increase on 1 April 2018 from the existing R1600 by R90 to R1690 and by a further R10 to R1700 on 1st October 2018." GDP growth 1.5% in 2018 and rising to 2.1% in 2020. I hope they are very wrong on this. No changes to; Dividend withholding tax (DWT) CGT (40% inclusion rate with first R40k exempt) Tax-free limits (annual or life time) No Nuclear. Retirement funds will be allowed to invest up to 40% outside of SA - 30% "offshore" and another 10% elsewhere in Africa. JSE added 1.25% during the speech, USDZAR 8c and government bonds back at 8%, bond levels last seen three years ago. For our investments. Consumers being taxed, no surprise. But with inflation dropping leading to prime rate likely heading lower I still like the SA Inc. investment thesis. Overall - a good balancing act albeit still a tough budget. But could have been much worse and I think Moodys will not downgrade us on the back of it.

In these six years there have been many developments – for instance, renewable energy is now firmly established as part of the energy mix (although still a minor part); retrofitting buildings, and the development of environmentally friendly construction methods The Alternative Information and Development Centre
