20. 20 The priorities of the Commission in the next five years shall be as follows: Research of all outstanding claims (a research strategy has been developed) Streamlining and electronic processing of the procedure for processing claims to shorten the time it takes to settle a claim Managing the lodgment of new claims, including the communication campaign on the lodgment of claims The 1998 claims will be ring-fenced as required by the Bill and therefore prioritised for settlement and finalisation. PRIORITIES OF THE COMMISSION IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS

21. 21 “…RIA’s most important contribution to the quality of decisions is not the precision of the calculations used, but the action of analyzing – questioning, understanding real-world impacts and exploring assumptions”. OECD (2002) The RIA is a systematic analysis of the potential impacts in order to assess whether the amendments are likely to achieve the desired objectives. The RIA includes a socio-economic impact assessment that was conducted to identify and quantify the macroeconomic impacts that are likely to occur as a result of implementation of the of reopening of lodgment of claims. The RIA also provides for various scenarios of possible policy interventions available. The methodology used in the socio-economic impact study uses current restitution information as a baseline, which was used to examine the variables that could influence re-opening. The RIA records that “even though this [information of current claims] is the best method of estimation of the nature of future claims, there are uncertainties to which degree future claims will be similar to historic data” THE REGULATORY IMPACT ASSESSMENT

22. 22 The RIA uses a factor of five in arriving at a conclusion that of the claims to be lodged approximately 397 000 will be valid. This also relates to estimates of forced removals that took place between 1913 and 1994. The RIA calculates that it may cost R129 bn to R179 bn to settle these claims if settled within a 15 year period. The RIA also concludes that approximately 8 932 860 individuals could benefit directly from the claims representing about 2 481 350 households The RIA does not take into account the fact that there will be claims which will be in respect of land already restored to communities where the settlement of the claim will not necessitate expenditure, but adding the beneficiary into an already existing legal entity. The RIA also does not take into account that the restoration of state land does not have a financial cost implication. IMPLICATIONS FOR LODGMENT OF CLAIMS

23. 23 The RIA also does not take into account the impact that the norms and standards to be implemented by the Valuer General as part of the implementation of the payment of just and equitable compensation as opposed to willing buyer willing seller used in all baseline data that it relies upon. There were factors taken into account by the Department when it states in the Memorandum on the objects of the Bill that financial implications can not be determined until claims are lodged. Legal precedent (Grootboom judgment of the Constitutional Court) socio-economic rights are realised progressively, and within the available resources of the state. IMPLICATIONS FOR LODGMENT OF CLAIMS

24. 24 Institutional arrangements: A National Planning Steering Committee was established The Steering Committee developed a plan, which is implemented at provincial level. It obtains provincial progress reports and unlocks issues Each province established a task team dealing with: Accommodation and logistics Human resource matters Information technology Communication Security READINESS FOR LODGMENT OF CLAIMS

25. 25 New claims will be lodged through an electronic system. Claimants to provide information about their claims to be captured in the system. A print out will be signed and filed (together with supporting documentation, which will also be scanned). An automated acknowledgement of receipt of the claim will be generated by the system with a unique reference number. The Lodgement system has been developed and staff have been trained on its use. A simulation dry run is scheduled for 18 March Bulk SMS sending system to confirm lodgement Lodgement system will automatically create a Claim Register to be accessible through PAIA as required by the Bill LODGEMENT OF NEW CLAIMS

26. 26 Lodgement will initially take place at 14 Lodgement sites located in Pretoria, Nelspruit, Witbank, Polokwane, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, East London, Queenstown, Cape Town, George, Pietermaritzburg, Vryheid, Mmabatho, Vryburg Each site is ready for lodgement (furniture, equipment, network points, security etc. has been made available.) Where the sites are leased, the Department of Public Works has agreed that sites shall remain unchanged for the duration of the 5 year lodgement period. Plans are in place to extend the lodgement sites to 38 additional sites. These sites are not yet included in the initial phase as they are still to be supplied with furniture and other equipment to host the lodgement system. LOGISTICS FOR RE OPENING

27. 27 304 posts have been created to facilitate the lodgement of claims. 116 posts have been advertised for the lodgment process in the 14 offices. This number shall be increased in phase 2 when the lodgement sites are increased by a further 38 offices. The advertised posts will be filled in March 2014. The posts include supervisors, data capturers, receptionist, staff for records management. The existing experienced staff will initially support lodgement and train new staff who will be phased in NARYSEC youth shall assist in the communication campaign, collection of oral history, and in the management of the claim lodgement process. LOGISTICS FOR RE OPENING

28. 28 There will be initially be 1 mobile unit per province The mobile units will be used for first 4 months for information sharing/ capacity building to prepare communities for lodgement, for NARYSEC “knock and drop” These units will then be deployed to targeted areas according to provincial schedule (to be advertised prior to deployment) Large units to be deployed to rural centres, smaller units (Iveco/ Sprinter type) to be used for less accessible areas and remote rural areas Fleet management principles shall be implemented to track use, monitor fuel use, oversee maintenance and supervise deployment MOBILE UNITS

29. 29 A comprehensive communication campaign has been developed, in consultation with the GCIS Central to the communication shall be the distribution of a citizens’ manual for claims, which informs citizens about their rights to restitution and how to go about lodging a claim, and what happens once a claim is lodged. The manual has been translated in 11 official languages, Braille and main Koi and San languages. Trained NARYSEC youth, NGOs, PBOs, CDWs and other stakeholders shall assist to distribute the citizens manual All media releases, draft adverts, posters etc. are ready to launch A call centre and information centre at national office is being prepared to especially address existing claimants The distribution of the citizens manual shall be communicated through electronic and print media COMMUNICATION

30. 30 NARYSEC youth has been trained for the knock and drop campaign ID tags, reflective vests, shirts, lodgement bags have been procured Management of NARYSEC youth to be done according to provincial plan Each province have developed a deployment plan “Hot spots”/ areas of high lodgement potential identified per province Security will contact police stations in “knock and drop” areas to support youth, provide additional security NGOs and other stakeholders shall assist in the distribution of the citizens manual. Other distribution networks shall also be explored as the process gets underway NARYSEC DEPLOYMENT
