Amendments to the APP The objectives of the NPA are linked to its sub-programmes in terms of its core business No changes have been made on the strategic objectives The NPA has three strategic objectives, namely: Increased successful prosecution Ensure profit is removed from crime Ensure vulnerable and intimidated witnesses and related persons are successfully protected
Amendments to the APP (cont) The strategic objective “Ensure that threatened witnesses and related persons are successfully protected” revised to “Ensure that vulnerable and intimidated witnesses and related persons are successfully protected” to align to the vision and mission for witness protection in terms of the Witness Protection Act The following indicators were removed from the APP : Number of cases finalised with verdict Number of cases finalised through ADRM; To be reported in a consolidated manner as: All criminal/court matters finalised (inclusive of ADRM cases). The target for the number of operational TCCs reduced from 60 to 55 for the MTEF period, due to budgetary constraints.
Amendments to the APP (cont) The following targets were not increased due to optimal performance: Conviction rate: High Courts, Regional Courts, Organised Crime, Trio Crimes and Complex Commercial Crime The following AFU indicators were revised to address queries by Auditor General “Number of Completed forfeiture cases” was changed to a % measurement. The indicator now reads as Percentage of completed forfeiture cases (Target = 96%) Number of freezing orders changed to Percentage of freezing orders obtained Success rate expanded to read as Litigation success rate” This was done to enhance the meaning of success rate in measuring the AFU’s overall performance

Projected overspend on Compensation of Employees (CoE) – 2017/18 Economic Classification Original budget 2017/18 Projected expenditure (Incl. COLA) Performance Bonuses and Notches Projected Total Expenditure Variance Compensation of Employees 3 229 218 3 211 308 54 000 3 265 308 -36 090 NB: This is the projected overspend if the personnel numbers remain unchanged - 7.3% COLA for all levels including SMS and Performance Bonuses reduction
Continued Interventions to curb COE expenditure Non filling of vacant positions Continue to explore more interventions to re-organise work and responsibilities - provide support with current available resources. Aspirant prosecutor programme still on hold
Impact of reduced CoE Non-filling of vacancies will results in: Increase in backlog cases Absenteeism due to increased pressure of existing staff Increased cost on EWP services Limited availability of prosecutors and negative impact on court performance Threats to witnesses due to reduction of protection services
Forward funding needs (2018) Staffing establishment of the new DPP Offices in Polokwane and Mpumalanga. New Additional 53 post with total cost of R 33,8 million (R108 million over MTEF) Enrolment of the Aspirant Prosecutor Programme (100 at cost of R38 million per year – R 109 million over MTEF)
