FOREWORD BY THE MINISTER
                                                              One of the key occupations of the Department of Labour (DoL) is
                                                              to promote opportunities for women and men to obtain decent
                                                              and productive work that is characterised by conditions of freedom,
                                                              equity, security and dignity, the International Labour Organisation
                                                              (ILO) defines these fundamental principles as “Decent Work”. In this
                                                              formulation, the protection of workers against work-related sickness,
                                                              disease and injury, as embodied in the Bill of Rights in our Constitution
                                                              is an essential element of security and continues to be a high priority
                                                              for this government.

                                                              Mistakes, accidents, oversights, injuries, no matter how skilled and
                                                              careful, can happen even in the safest workplaces. They usually
                                                              occur when least expected and inadvertently cause harm to workers
                                                              especially to those who are the most vulnerable and who work in
                                                              precarious work environments. According to ILO estimates, each
                                                              year two million men and women die from work-related diseases
                                                              and accidents – a death toll averaging some 5, 000 workers a day.
                                                              The socio-economic damage of these incidents and fatalities on
                                                              workers and their families, as well as the entire society, has reached
                                                              the levels where all of us need to join hands in finding solutions and
                                                              real partnerships going forward.

The 2018/19 Compensation Fund’s Annual Performance Plan (APP), is by and large a reflection of our resolve to ensure that we
play our part in insuring that the Fund contributes to the attainment of “Decent Work” from occupational injuries and diseases
perspective. To this end the Fund will be implementing its revised organisational structure which is geared towards improving
performance in general and rehabilitation and the return to work programme in particular.

Vocational rehabilitation will be one of the key focus areas, wherein workers who cannot return to work because of injuries or
diseases sustained at a workplace, will be reskilled based on their current capabilities in order to enhance their re-absorption back
in the labour market.

This Plan is also designed to lift the overall quality of work and impact of the Compensation Fund in order to improve the lives
of all those that we serve. I look forward to an effective and efficient implementation of this Plan, and I am confident that with
dedication and commitments, nothing is impossible.

We are here to serve; providing the best service delivery possible to our people is the end, the Annual Performance Plan is the
means.

ACCOUNTING OFFICER’S STATEMENT
                                                              I am pleased to present the Compensation Fund’s Annual
                                                              Performance Plan for 2018/2019 that covers the organisational
                                                              renewal and priorities which must be achieved in the financial year.

                                                              The Annual Performance Plan is based on five priorities, namely:
                                                              building capacity to act truly as a vanguard for the protection of
                                                              vulnerable workers and their families, ensuring that work places
                                                              are safe from injuries and diseases; fast-tracking the improvement
                                                              of service delivery; eradicating backlog; improving stakeholder
                                                              relations, implementing rehabilitation and reintegration programme
                                                              and amending the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and
                                                              Diseases (COID) aimed at broadening the scope of coverage so as to
                                                              include domestic workers.

                                                              The Policy’s priorities are also to strengthen the core business and
                                                              provide avenues to fulfil the goals on the National Development Plan
                                                              (NDP) and the Medium Term Strategic Framework and advancing
                                                              outcome 4 and outcome 13 aimed at improving the lives of
                                                              vulnerable employed South Africans. Improved internal capacity and
                                                              morale is a recipe for improved performance.

                                                             During the 2017/18 Financial Year, the Compensation Fund has
                                                             made significant progress in addressing backlog, improving relations
with key and strategic stakeholders, setting up internal control measures and addressing key health and safety issues that affect
vulnerable employees in a workplace. Processing of claims also improved significantly. Compared to the 90% of registered claims
which were adjudicated within 60 working days of receipt during the 2016/17 Financial Year, 97% of the registered claims were
adjudicated within 60 working days of receipt by the end of December of the 2017/18 Financial Year.

Amongst the issues which are the focus by the Fund over the medium term is to continuously improve access to social insurance
for the working age population with the aim of preventing or alleviating poverty and providing protection against vulnerability. It
is on this basis that the Fund is working together with the Inspections and Enforcement Services of the Department of Labour to
ensure that intense inspections are conducted within workplaces.

Working towards impact

In the year 2018/2019, the Compensation Fund will continue to ensure that its strategic investments are aimed at broadening
coverage of services to all employees of the Republic of South Africa. This will be done through investment in human capacity
development, improvement of technological infrastructure, investments on social security programmes, and building capacity in
the provinces.

In response to the service delivery challenges, the Fund is continuously investing on strengthening its provincial processing
centres, to ensure an improved registration, adjudication and processing of all qualifying claims within reasonable turnaround
times. Improvement on turn-around times in delivering quality services is key. In order for this to be realised, the Fund has budgeted
R11 billion for the 2018/2019 financial year, capacitated its key and strategic programmes by reviewing its organisational structure
and standard operating procedures.

Given the budget pressures, it cannot be business as usual. Increased efficiency and productivity in every corner of the
Compensation Fund is mandatory to get the best value from the income generated from employers. We have a choice; we can
choose to focus on the impossibilities of it all, or we can choose to see the opportunities. In the words of Dr Nelson Mandela, “Let
our choices reflect our hopes and not our fears”. And in our case, we choose that latter.

4                                                                                     Annual Performance Plan 2018/19 I Compensation Fund
I want to take this opportunity to thank the Minister and Deputy Minister of Labour for their leadership and support in my plan of
turning the Compensation Fund around and improving service delivery.

Conclusion

The pace and magnitude of outcry for improving service delivery is currently racing ahead beyond our control and manifests
in threats to the Compensation Fund. There is an urgent need for the holistic assurance of discipline and dedication from the
employees of the Fund to shape the performance environment and facilitate progress towards sustainable and improved service
delivery.

Simply put, if social development is a goal of the country, prevention of injury on duty, occupational diseases and/or fatalities that
occurs in a workplace provides boundary conditions and economic growth, as they always say that “A productive employee is a
happy and healthy employee”.

Transforming the Compensation Fund has taken great effort, but with everyone in unison, greater heights can be achieved.
I believe that this Annual Performance Plan will go a long way in ensuring that the Compensation Fund achieves its stated
objectives and fulfilling its mandate.

Compensation Fund I WORKING FOR YOU

PART A: STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
The South African labour administration system recognises that labour market flexibility for competitiveness of enterprises should
be balanced with the promotion and protection of the basic rights of workers and with provision of adequate social safety nets
to protect vulnerable workers.
Despite the introduction of progressive labour and employment policy reforms and programmes, the labour market is still
characterised by high levels of unemployment and under-employment, inequality and discrimination, violation of employment
standards and fundamental rights at work, and unacceptably high levels of workplace incidents and injuries.

1.       UPDATED SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

1.1.     PERFORMANCE DELIVERY ENVIRONMENT

The Fund’s delivery environment is affected by many external environmental factors. Some of the challenges from this environment
are as follows:
•        The first challenge is:
The World Bank has lowered its estimates for South Africa’s economic growth between 2017 and 2019. It said South Africa’s
economy, which grew by 0.5% in 2016 (2017 Budget Review), would not show much improvement with 0.6% growth in 2017 and
1.1% in 2018, before showing more gains in 2019 of 2%. The projections for 2017 and 2018 are 0.5 and 0.7 percentage points less
respectively than its January 2017 figures
The figures paint a far gloomier picture than the South African Reserve Bank’s (SARB) latest economic projections. It said on 25 May
that it had revised growth projections down to 1.0% (2017), 1.5% (2018) and 1.7% (2019).
These figures were lower than the official growth projections revealed in the 2017 Budget Review, which expected growth figures
of 1.3% (2017), 2% (2018) and 2.2% (2019).
The SARB’s reasoning for the lower projections were due to “the expected impact of the sovereign credit ratings downgrade on
domestic private sector gross fixed capital formation in particular”.
The World Bank agreed, saying a “deterioration of investor confidence in South Africa amid two recent sovereign rating downgrades
to sub investment grade” have impacted its economic growth. These will have a negative effect on the Funds ability to grow the
investment portfolio. As a result of the slow growth, many businesses will be negatively affected. This will in return impact on the
Funds investment growth as the Fund will in all probability receive less revenue from business. DoL will continue to implement
measures to ensure that employers are submitting (Return of Earnings ) ROE’s to the Fund.
•        The second challenge relates to:
Poverty alleviation programs designed to promote employment and strengthen protection of social security are overwhelmed by
the current South African’s unemployment rate which according to the Statistic SA 1st Quarter Labour Survey 2017:
“The growth in employment by 144 000, was offset by the growth in the number of job-seekers by 433 000 driving the
unemployment rate to 27,7% in the first quarter (Q1) of 2017. This is the highest unemployment rate observed since September
2003.
The growth in employment was observed in all industries except agriculture, trade and services. The biggest growth was observed
in manufacturing (62 000), finance & other business services (49 000) and Mining (26 000). Mining grew for the first time in
Q1:2017 after declining for four successive quarters. Furthermore, employment grew in all provinces quarter to quarter except
in Eastern Cape and Limpopo. All metros registered growth in employment except Nelson Mandela Bay, Mangaung and City of
Johannesburg which remained virtually unchanged.
There were approximately 500 000 extra people in employment in Q1:2017 compared to the same period last year. The year-on-
year employment growth was driven by manufacturing (145 000), construction (143 000) and finance (152 000).
Of the 433 000 people who joined the ranks of the unemployed, approximately 58% were young people aged 15-34 years
increasing the youth unemployment rate by 1,6 percentage points to 38,6%. The proportion of those in short term unemployment

    12                                                                              Annual Performance Plan 2018/19 I Compensation Fund
(i.e. those who have been looking for work for less than a year) increased by 2,4 percentage points to 34,2% a further indication
that these were young people who joined the labour force at the beginning of the year.
Unemployment rate remained high among those with education level of less than matric at 33,1% which is 5,4 percentage points
higher than the national average. While the unemployment rate among graduates remained at 7,3%.
Unemployment rate increased or remained virtually unchanged in all provinces except Northern Cape. The biggest increase in
unemployment rate was observed in Eastern Cape which increased by 3.8 percentage points to 32,2%.
The expanded unemployment which includes those who wanted to work but did not look for work increased by 391 000 people,
resulting in an increase of 0,8 of a percentage point in the expanded unemployment rate to 36,4%. This is approximately 9,3
million people who did not have work but wanted to work in Q1:2017.
The above mentioned should be seen together with the outcomes of the StatSA Poverty Survey published on 22 August. The
report states the following:
“Despite the general decline in Poverty between 2006 and 2011, poverty levels in South Africa rose in 2015. When applying the
upper-bound poverty line ( R992 per person per month)in 2015 prices), we see that more than one out of every two South African
were poor in 2015, with the poverty headcount increasing to 55,5% from a series low of 53,2% in 2011. This translates into over
30,4 million South Africans living in poverty in 2015. While the recent increase in headcount is unfortunate, we are still better off
compared to the country’s poverty situation a decade earlier when it was estimated that two out of every three people (66,6% or
roughly 31,6 million) people were living below the upper-bound poverty line in 2006”.
There is a need to ensure compliance by employers on COID services and the Fund is working with the Inspections and Enforcement
Services (IES) in this regard by creating awareness on safety in the workplaces.
•      The third challenge is:
New technological innovations will have impact on the labour market as many of the jobs will become automated. This might have
a negative impact on the labour market as many jobs might become redundant resulting in an increase in the unemployment
rate. Training of employers and CF employees on Umehluko will continue to ensure an improvement in the delivery of services.
•      The fourth challenge relates to:
Lack of Safety Compliance by the Mining Industry and other industries to the Occupational Health and Safety Amendment Act
gives rise to the high injury and fatalities in the labour market. There is a need to ensure compliance by employers on COID
services and the Fund is working with the Inspections and Enforcement Services (IES) in this regard by creating awareness on
safety in the workplaces.
•      The fifth challenge is:
Inadequate instruments for constant performance monitoring and evaluation of labour market policies and programmes to
determine their impact on the economy:
       -- Stakeholder participation and strategic partnerships in programme delivery, monitoring and feedback is inadequate,
          despite our strong culture of social dialogue in policy development.
       -- Planning processes are to some extent not well co-ordinated between strategic departments on related socio-
          economic development programmes.
       -- Our appreciation and use of modern information and communication technology systems to manage data and
          information is inadequate.

1.2    OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

The Compensation Fund plays a significant role in terms of providing social security to employees. However, the Fund is impacted
by various challenges which impedes on its mandate and strategic objectives.
The following strengths and weaknesses have been identified in the CF Environment:
Strengths
•      CF Strategic Plan 2015/16-2019/20
•      Continuous implementation of the CF Action plan

Annual Performance Plan 2018/19 I Compensation Fund                                                                              13
Compensation Fund I WORKING FOR YOU

•        Collective and participatory planning process by CF management including Provincial Offices
•        Revised organisational structure which is being implemented
•        Contribution to Outcome 13
•        Improving employer compliance and revenue generation(CF-Filling)
•        Staff skill development (through bursaries and other initiatives)
Weakness
•        The ever changing economic landscape which has the prospects to affect the investment by the Fund. The Fund appointed
         Actuaries to ensure informed investments are done through the Public Investment Corporation (PIC).
•        All identified and/or suspected fraudulent activities are dealt with through both internal processes and law enforcement
         agencies.
•        Systems not responsive to effective and efficient service delivery. The Fund is in the process of procuring systems that will
         ensure service delivery including the turnaround times is improved. This includes a system wherein employers will perform
         self-registration and declarations.
•        Ability to attract and retain critical skill, e.g. Medical Practitioners. The Fund reviewed job profiles for required critical skill
         to ensure ability to compete with already established departments requiring similar skill set. The Fund further partnered
         with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) wherein the Fund invested in the training of critical skills.
Further to this, the following key issues have been identified related to the Fund’s Organisational Environment:
•        The Fund’s Head Office vacancy rate was at 23.2% at the end of December 2017. This can be attributed to the fact that due
         to implementation of the revised CF structure, new posts are being created which will be filled in due course.
•        The Fund is in process of addressing the Audit Findings from the Auditor General of South Africa ( AGSA) Audit Report of
         2016/17. In order to address the audit findings the Fund developed an AGSA Audit Action Plan and being monitored on
         a continuous basis.
•        The Fund is continuing with the implementation of the revised Structure. As part of the process the programme structure
         has been revised. The revised Programme structure contains the following 4 Programmes which are reflected in the
         2018/19 APP:
         -- Programme 1: ADMINISTRATION
         -- Programme 2: COID SERVICES
         -- Programme 3: MEDICAL BENEFITS
         -- Programme 4: ORTHOTIC AND REHABILITATION
•        The Fund has paid 100% of approved benefits within five working days by 31 December 2017.
•        97% (142 666 claims finalised out of the 147 529 received) of claims received was adjudicated within 60 workings of
         receipts (end of December 2017).
•        94% of medical invoices received (568 311 invoices were received and 536 899 was finalised within 60 workings of receipts
         (end of December 2017).

2.       REVISIONS OF LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER MANDATES

2.1.     CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE

The mandate of the Compensation Fund is derived from Section 27 (1) (c) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. In
terms of this Act, specifically the mentioned Section, all South Africans have a right to social security. The Compensation Fund is
mandated to provide social security to all injured and diseased employees

    14                                                                                     Annual Performance Plan 2018/19 I Compensation Fund
2.2.   LEGISLATIVE MANDATE

The Compensation Fund is a Schedule 3A Public Entity (These entities are normally extensions of a public entity with the mandate
to fulfil a specific economic or social responsibility of government. They rely on government funding and public money, either
by means of a transfer from the Revenue Fund or through statutory money. As such, these entities have the least autonomy.) of
the Department of Labour. The Fund administers the Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act No 130/1993 as amended by the
COIDA 61/1997. The main objective of the Act is to provide compensation for disablement caused by occupational injuries or
diseases sustained or contracted by employees, or for death resulting from injuries or diseases, and provide for matters connected
therewith.
The Fund generates its revenue from levies paid by employers and this consists of annual assessments paid by registered employers
on a basis of a percentage or fixed rate of the annual earnings of their employees. The COID Act, however, makes provision for a
minimum assessment to ensure the assessment is not less than the administration costs incurred.
The operations of the Fund are also informed by the following legislations:
•      Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, as amended;
•      Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993;
•      National Economic Development and Labour Council Act (NEDLAC), 1994;
•      Labour Relations Act, 1995, as amended;
•      Basic Conditions of Employment Act, 1997, as amended
•      Employment Equity Act, 1998, as amended;
•      Skills Development Act 1998, as amended;
•      Unemployment Insurance Act, 2001, as amended;
•      Unemployment Insurance Contributions Act, 2002;
•      Employment Services Act, 2014;
•      Public Finance Management Act, 1999, as amended;
•      Public Service Act, 1994, as amended;
•      Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 2003;
•      Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, 2000;
•      Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, 2004;
•      Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000;
•      Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, 2000; and
•      Promotion of Equality and Elimination of Unfair Discrimination Act, 2000.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Minister, the Deputy Minister, the Director- General and the Compensation Fund
Board for their leadership and support as well as the Compensation Fund employees for their dedication in ensuring that we meet
the Fund’s mandate.

year.
