THE CHAMBERS

DEVELOPMENT CHAMBER

The chamber had twelve meetings during the period under review. The Chamber meetings covered administrative, strategic and political consultations and engagements on issues that had been prioritised in the Chamber's work programme. The Chamber Convenors played a key role in giving the Chamber direction on strategic issues and in ensuring that there was adequate implementation and management of the work programme of the Chamber.

In the Chamber's work programme the following was prioritised:

• HIV/AIDS
• restructuring of public transport
• restructuring of public education
• restructuring of local government
• restructuring of the construction industry
• Poverty eradication as it related to rural development, infrastructure provisioning and the establishment of a social security system.

One policy session on the National Plan for Higher Education was convened by the Chamber.

Restructuring of Public Transport

Recapitalisation of the Taxi Industry

The unacceptable levels of violence coupled with low safety standards in the taxi industry were amongst the key concerns driving the Nedlac parties' engagement with the Government's programme to re-capitalise the taxi industry.

After receiving a briefing from the Department of Transport, the Development Chamber established a task team to discuss the transformation of public transport and prioritise the re-capitalisation of the taxi Industry.

The transport task team had four meetings to receive information from Government and to make inputs into the bidding process for the manufacturing of the new vehicle models. All Nedlac parties tabled written submissions.

The next process will focus on the establishment of the National Taxi Council, the Taxi Chamber, Commuters' Association, and the provision for a customer care system.

HIV/AIDS

The escalating spread of HIV/AIDS and the impact thereof on the socio-economic development of the country necessitates the issue to be given priority status at Nedlac.

The Department of Health was invited by the Development Chamber in 1999 to make a presentation on the status quo of HIV/AIDS in the country and globally, and also indicate its consequences to social development. The Chamber established a task team that was to coordinate a research project to identify and assess best practice case studies within Nedlac constituencies. It would also consolidate research on international best practice in areas of relevance to the Nedlac constituencies such as HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness programmes adopted in workplace and communities. The task team established a terms of reference for the research project. The first research project should be completed by September 2001.

Restructuring of Public Education

The historical imbalances in the provision of education called for a restructuring of the public education system. Nedlac parties prioritised the provisioning of public primary education and the restructuring of Higher Education.

Three sessions were held with the Department of Education. One on primary education, another on the "Shape and Size" report on Higher Education and a third policy session on the National Higher Education Plan. The Chamber established a task team with a mandate to engage on and make proposals on the restructuring of public education.

Restructuring of Local Government

The task team on local government has been considering the Property Rates Bill and the Water Regulations of the National Water Act.

Other Activities

Civil Society Summit At a Cosatu Congress held in September 2000, Nedlac was requested to convene a summit "of the left". The purpose of the summit would be to strengthen civil society participation in deepening democracy. In a parallel process, the task team dealing with ACP/EU issues (see joint processes) was also asked to coordinate a civil society summit. This should take place later in 2001.

LABOUR MARKET CHAMBER

The Labour Market Chamber was less active than in previous years, but was involved in a number of joint processes with other chambers (see joint processes). There were six meetings of the Chamber in the year under review.

Code of Good Practice on Key Aspects of HIV/AIDS and Employment

This code (commonly referred to as the HIV/AIDS Code) was referred to Nedlacby the Minister of Labour on 5 April 2000. A task team was established and this task team met on six occasions between 25 May 2000 and 01 August 2000. Its report was ratified by the Overall Convenors in October 2000.

The HIV/AIDS Code is premised on a recognition that the pandemic will affect every workplace through prolonged staff illness, absenteeism and death. This will result in productivity, employee benefits, occupational health and safety, production costs and workplace morale being affected negatively.

The Code's primary objective is to set out guidelines for employers and trade unions to implement so as to ensure that individuals with HIV infection are not unfairly discriminated against in the workplace. Its secondary objective is to provide guidelines for employers and trade unions on how to manage HIV/AIDS within the workplace.

White Paper on International Migration

The white paper on international migration was approved by Cabinet on 31 March 1999 and published in the Government Gazette on 1 April 1999. However, it was only dealt with at Nedlac in 2000. Business, Labour and Government submitted their comments in May 2000. A Migration Policy Committee was formed, held four meetings from May to July 2000, and held a workshop in July 2000. A Nedlac Report was ratified by the Overall Convenors in November 2000.

Among other things, the White Paper seeks to regulate entrance of immigrants and to ensure that the country is able to attract skilled foreign workers.

Labour Law Amendments

The Minister of Labour forwarded the proposed amendments to labour legislation in August 2000. The Labour Market Chamber established a negotiating committee to deal with the proposals. The Negotiating Committee held meetings in September and October 2000. The parties deadlocked on the proposed amendments. A one-a-side contact committee was established to attempt to break the deadlock. Bilateral meetings took place between the parties, including between Business and Labour in the Millennium Labour Council. No further formal negotiating meetings were held at Nedlac in the year under review.

Judgement of the Labour Appeal Court in the Appeal of Langeveldt V Vryburg Transitional Local Council

This judgement highlighted overlapping jurisdiction on labour disputes between, among others, the CCMA, Labour Court, Labour Appeal Court and the High Court. The judgement gave a direction that a policy intervention should be made to provide certainty in the labour dispute resolution system, as the current system was found not to be cost-effective. The Labour Appeal Court ruled that the judgement should be forwarded to the Ministers of Justice, Labour and Constitutional Development, and Nedlac.

Government was to table a discussion paper at Nedlac in order to take the issue further.

Principles and criteria for determining the sector and area of bargaining and statutory councils

This matter was aimed at providing clear principles and criteria for demarcating sectors and bargaining councils, to avoid disputes. At the beginning of 2000, there was a court case regarding sector demarcation and the matter was adjourned to allow the judgement to provide clarity on principles and criteria. However, the case was withdrawn. The Chamber will revisit this issue later in the year.

Register of Laws

The Labour Market Chamber agreed that a register of labour laws which impact on the employment relationship, should be compiled by the secretariat. The register should include information on government departments responsible for administration and relevant codes of good practice.

Demarcation Applications

The following demarcation applications were considered by the Standing Committee on Demarcation and supported by Nedlac:

• Application by the South African Municipal Workers' Union for Registration of a Statutory Council: Amanzi;

• Application for Variation of Scope of Registration of the Bargaining Council for the Hairdressing and Cosmetology Trade, Pretoria;

• Application for Variation of Scope of Registration of the National Bargaining Council for the Leather Industry of South Africa;

• Application for Variation of Scope of Registration of the Worsted Textile Manufacturing Industry (Cape);

• Application for Variation of Scope of Registration of the Bargaining Council for the Furniture Manufacturing Industry (KwaZulu-Natal); and

• Application for Variation of Scope of Registration of the National Bargaining Council for the Textile Manufacturing Industry of R.S.A.

Nominations to statutory bodies

The Labour Market Chamber has co-ordinated nominations for the followingbodies:

• Employment Conditions Commission;

• Essential Services Committee;

• CCMA Internal Audit Committee;

• Occupational Health & Safety Steering Committee;

• Technical Committee for Electrical Regulations;

• National Fire Brigade Board;

• Unemployment Insurance Board;

• National Skills Authority; and

• CCMA Governing Body.

PUBLIC FINANCE AND MONETARY POLICY CHAMBER

Chamber meetings

The chamber only held one formal meeting during the period under review. However, the chamber convenors have met on a fairly regular basis. Discussions have been ongoing regarding the work programme for the chamber, but these have not been finalised. The chamber dealt with one major issue, the Pension Fund Surplus, and held a number of other briefing sessions.

Pension Funds Second Amendment Bill

The Pension Funds Second Amendment Bill was tabled at Nedlac in order to try to facilitate agreement between Business, Labour and Government on the issue of the repatriation of pension fund surpluses. The Department of Finance had tabled a Bill in Parliament in 1999, which had proposed that employers be granted the right to repatriate surpluses under certain conditions, but this had been vehemently opposed by Labour, and subsequently withdrawn.

The Nedlac process looked at policy principles underlying the distribution of surplus in pension funds, as well as how to address past practices. A task team was established, which met 10 times between March 2000 and March 2001. A technical sub-committee was also established, which met four times, and discussed issues such as minimum benefits payable to employees, the definition of "fair value" to be used in the future, the obligation of employers and the effect on financing of the funds.

Due to the considerable differences in the positions of Business and Labour, and the urgent need to address the surplus issue and future dispensation, it was agreed that government would proceed and draft legislation to facilitate further discussion. A Pension Funds Second Amendment Bill, 2001 was drafted in a concurrent process to the Nedlac negotiations. Government negotiators conveyed the outcome of the discussions in the task team to the drafters of the Bill.

After a break in discussions of five months, the task team met again in February 2001 to examine the Draft Pension Funds Second Amendment Bill, 2001, which had been submitted to Cabinet in December 2000

The Nedlac partners confirmed areas of agreement and reaffirmed their disagreement with aspects of government's stance as reflected in the draft legislation. Government undertook to forward reservations and comments made by Business and Labour regarding the draft bill to the Minister of Finance and the chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Finance.

Information sharing sessions and workshops

On 25 July 2000 the Ministry of Public Enterprises held an information sharing session on the Policy Framework on the Restructuring of State Assets.

On 30 August 2000 the National Treasury held a workshop to consider the current Medium Term Expenditure Framework numbers. Constituencies provided submissions on the optimal ordering of expenditure in terms of their priorities for the third year of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework namely 2003 / 2004.

On 23 November 2000 the National Treasury held an information sharing session on the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement. Government discussed its projection of economic and budgeting prospects for the next three years.

TRADE AND INDUSTRY CHAMBER

The Trade and Industry Chamber had a very busy year in the period under review, with many processes taking place in a number of sub-committees, task teams and counterpart groups.

TRADE ISSUES

South African Development Community (SADC) Trade Agreement

The Amendment Protocol of the SADC Free Trade Agreement (FTA) was finalised in September 2000. The Chamber's Technical Sectoral Liaison Committee considered the final offers during three meetings prior to the finalisation of the FTA.

Overall trade strategy for South Africa

South Africa's trade strategy is seen as one of the key tools to engage with the global economy. The strategy includes addressing the multilateral rules and their implementation through the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the development of market-opening agreements with key trading partners, and market access facilitation. Having entered into an agreement with the EU, the emphasis is now on developing relationships with other key countries of the South. Two Ministerial policy sessions during the year gave consideration to the overall trade strategy for South Africa.

"After care" of South Africa - European Union Trade Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA)

There is recognition by all constituencies that a special effort is required to ensure that maximum benefit is gained from the trade agreement for the South Africa. Social partners have discussed ways to improve information-sharing and the involvement of social partners in institutional mechanisms for implementation.

SADC Trade Agreement Implementation

The benefits gained from the SADC FTA depend significantly on the effectiveness with which it is implemented. The Teselico subcommittee has begun consideration of the role that social partners can play in the implementation of the agreement.

Potential South Africa - Mercosur Trade Agreement

The South African Government's overall strategy for engaging globalisation includes the development of strategic alliances with other countries in the South. This strategy is termed the "Butterfly Strategy" and a strategic relationship with the Common Market of the South (Mercosur) forms one element of this strategy. Mercosur represents one of the more developed attempts at regional integration, including Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay as core members, and Chile and Bolivia as associate members.

A framework agreement between South Africa and Mercosur was signed in December 2000. This agreement sets the parameters for a process of information-sharing, co-operation and exploration of a trade agreement between the two areas.

It has been agreed that social partners will be involved from the early stages in researching and assessing the potential opportunities and threats in a trade agreement with Mercosur.

INDUSTRY AND OTHER ISSUES

Industrial Development Zones (IDZs)

The Nedlac report on the Industrial Development Zone policy document was finalised during 2000. In addition, the Chamber received a briefing on the implementation of the IDZs and the role of national, provincial and local Government in this process. It is envisaged that the first IDZ operating licenses would be granted during the second part of 2001, and that the first IDZs themselves would be fully operational within the next 5 years.

Competition Second Amendment Bill

The Competition Act came into force, bringing with it transformed systems and institutions. Through the operation of the Act in practice, it became clear that some refinements were required. These were effected through the Competition Second Amendment Act which, amongst other issues, addressed definitional matters and the removal of the contested Section 3(1)(d), which had exempted economic activities subject to or authorised by public regulation from the scope of the Competition Act. The Competition Policy Task Team was briefed on the proposed amendments and provided some inputs.

Draft Mineral Development Bill

The Draft Mineral Development Bill aims to, amongst others, "give effect to the principle that mineral resources are the common heritage of all South Africans, provide for the recognition of the State as the custodian of the nation's mineral resources; provide for a legislative framework within which the nation's mineral wealth can be developed to its fullest potential. The Department of Minerals and Energy tabled the Bill to the Trade and Industry Chamber in March 2001. A task team has been considering the Bill, which is being redrafted in response to comments received through the Nedlac and public comment processes.

Sector summits

The agreement to a series of sector summits emerged from the Presidential Jobs Summit Agreements. The Chamber is seeking to review the policy implications and cross-cutting issues emerging from past sector summits, and to assist Nedlac to develop guidelines for the coordination and prioritisation of its efforts in relation to future summits.

International marketing and branding of South Africa

Numerous interactions have been held with Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) International Marketing Council (IMC), and Trade and Investment South Africa (TISA). Particular attention has been paid to the relationship between such initiatives and the Proudly South African campaign.

Monitoring implementation

The Chamber continued to receive reports on a number of processes, including:

• Workplace Challenge (now being implemented by the National Productivity Institute)

• Implementation of Competition Policy

• Supply-side measures and industrial incentives

• Transformation of the Department of Trade and Industry

• Implementation of Jobs Summits Agreements (including transformation of customs & excise)

RESEARCH

A number of important studies were undertaken under the auspices of the Fund for Research into Industrial Development Growth and Equity (Fridge):

• National Tourism Collaborative Planning Action Initiative

The initiative was a collaborative effort by the social partners to work towards realising the potential of South African tourism, and thereby impact positively on the national economy, through enhanced national and international tourism earnings and job creation.

The focus was on formulating strategies for the implementation of a programme which would promote and develop tourism and equity objectives through marketing, investment, skills and infrastructure development. It included a national initiative, thematic clusters and local initiatives in Magaliesburg, Khayelitsha, Fish River (in the Eastern Cape) and Valley of the Olifants (in the Northern Province).

One of the outputs of the study was a "How To Manual", which provides a practical resource to support cluster facilitators in accelerating the development of local clusters.

• Sustainable production study

There is an increasing global focus on environmental sustainability. Consequently, the relationship between trade, industrial competitiveness and the environment presents numerous challenges and opportunities for South Africa. This study aimed to address the role of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in relation to these challenges. The outputs of the study included the following:

• A legal manual on environmental law and implications for DTI

• A background report (an Overview of DTI Functions and related Environmental Aspects; Identification of Relevant Environmental Legislation; and Current Environmental Processes and Forums of Relevance to DTI); and

• Discussion Document on the role of the DTI in Promoting Sustainable Production in South Africa

• Strategic recommendations

• "Proudly South African" campaign strategy development

In order to inform the decisions of the Nedlac constituencies, a study was conducted to develop strategy recommendations and a Business plan for the campaign. International benchmarking, internal analysis and market analysis were used to inform these recommendation. The research was conducted in very close interaction with the Task Team, and a system of interim deliverables was used to allow implementation to move forward in some areas prior to the completion of the study as a whole. The research was completed in March 2001.

• Cut flower industry cluster study

The study focussed on identifying the most appropriate export markets and selecting the right products for the South African cut flower industry, and then developed a clear and distinct strategy for achieving maximum penetration of world markets in the short, medium and long term.

Although South Africa's industry is currently relatively small, it is considered to have significant potential. Particularly in relation to South Africa's indigenous products, it is considered to have one of the highest employment multipliers, minimal barriers to entry, and relatively low capital expenditure ratios, and is therefore a potential source of SMME development with a wide scope for new entrants and empowerment initiatives.

The investment in the study is already bearing fruit, as some of the recommendations begin to be implemented, and the industry becomes more able to act co-operatively and strategically to meet the challenges it faces.

Implementation of the "Proudly South African" campaign One of the agreements of the Presidential Jobs Summit Agreement was the "Buy South Africa" campaign. In November 1999, the Department of Trade and Industry tabled a proposal for the implementation of the campaign under the name "Made in South Africa" to the Trade and Industry Chamber. A Task Team established under the auspices of the Chamber gave detailed consideration to the implementation of the campaign, and requested that research be conducted to inform the campaign, in order to maximise the effectiveness of the campaign. This research was commissioned through Fridge, with the aim of providing clear recommendations on strategy and a business plan. Preparation for implementation has been done in parallel to the research process. The campaign aims to contribute to creating jobs and stimulating the economy by promoting South African products and services and facilitating improvements in quality and competitiveness. It has been agreed that the campaign will be branded as the "Proudly South African" campaign.

Current Fridge studies and projects:

• South African- European Union Trade Development and Cooperation Agreement - Non-tariff barriers facing South African exporters, and vulnerable sectors in the South African economy

• South African jewellery industry cluster study

• Potential implications of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for the South African economy

• Socio-economic implications of the proposed plastic bag regulations

• The feasibility of eco-labelling for South Africa

• Ostrich leather industry study

• Stainless steel industry studies

• developing an industry producing blanks, pressings and component parts

• increasing the marketing and distribution of stainless steel products globally through collaborative e-business.

• Wool and mohair cluster facilitator

• Footwear cluster facilitator

• South African Standardisation, Quality Assurance, Accreditation and Metrology infrastructure study)

• South African silicon high technology cluster)
