Selected votes – Health Total expenditure increased from R4.477 billion in June 2009 to R5.265 billion in June 2010 at an annual rate of 17.6 per cent. The largest expenditure increase is 43.6 per cent in Programme 2, from R1.1 billion by June 2009 to R1.7billion in June 2010, due to the step up for HIV/AIDS funding. Spending in Programme 6 decreased by 18.4 per cent from R16 million in June 2009 to R12 million in June 2010.This is due to the large expenditure that happened abroad and claimed via Foreign Affairs account which is only received in 5 months after expenditure incurred /11

There is an increase to Payments for Capital due to the finalisation of the move to the new CIVITAS building. The movement was delayed, but finally happened between June and July Goods and Services increased by 32.3 per cent, while Personnel spending decreased to 22.4% in June 2010 from 25.7 per cent in June 2009.This is due to the reason that Improvement of Conditions of Services (salary increase) only started later ( in July) than planned due to the current wage negotiations. Selected votes – Health 16

HIV /AIDS Grant spending increased by 53.1 per cent from R940 million in June 2009 to R1.4 billion in June 2010 (R1.1 billion spent in provinces). The step up in HIV/AIDS funding is due to the new policy announcement by the President during the World AIDS day. Hospital Revitalisation spending decreased by 5.6 per cent from R1.048 billion in June 2009 to R990 million in June 2010 (R836 million spent in provinces – 20.8%). Slower than expected spending occurred in: -Free State – 7.6% -Kwa-Zulu – 10.5% -Limpopo – 11.5% Selected votes – Health 17

HIV/AIDS –As announced by President Zuma on World AIDS Day in December 2009, started on 1 April 2010 to provide Antiretroviral Treatment to pregnant women at CD4 count of 350 or less, to enhance maternal survival. ART is also being provided to people co-infected with TB and HIV at a CD4 count of 350 or less –The new policy resulted to a step up in the HIV/AIDS funding and expenditure –Consideration needs to be given to the problems of the vertical programme and whether the time has come to integrate into PES Selected votes – Health 18

Health Infrastructure / Hospital Revitalisaion –Slow spending on the programme in 2009/10 looks likely to continue this year –The department is putting in place various strategies to accelerate infrastructure delivery. –These include: Employment of additional engineers Technical support including IDIP, DBSA Strengthening national and provincial programme and project management PPPs 5 tertiary hospital projects –Would be useful to ensure increased oversight of slow spending in this programme Selected votes – Health 19

Expenditure increased from R billion in 2009/10 to R billion in 2010/11 at a rate of 39.9 per cent. There was a decrease of 18.4 per cent in Programme 1 from R million in 2009/10 to R million in 2010/11 because the lease payment of accommodation was done in the second quarter. Programme 2 grew at 40.6 per cent mainly because of the payments of Appeals Backlog cases and the higher number of beneficiaries that applied for social grants due to amendments in the means test. Programme 3 grew at 26.3 per cent mainly because of the first payment for NSFAS was made for the social workers bursaries. Programme 4 decreased by 59.8 per cent due to a decrease in the allocation to the National Development Agency, and programme 5 decreased by 22.1 per cent because the Appeals Unit was shifted to programme 2. Selected votes – Social Development 20

There was an increase of 40.2 per cent in compensation of employees in 2009/10 to 2010/11 due to the filling of vacant posts and the higher inflation adjusted annual increases as expected. Goods and Services decreased by 27.8 per cent mainly because of invoices that were received late and paid in the second quarter. Transfers and subsidies grew at 40.1 per cent due to the payments of Appeals Backlog cases and the higher numbers of beneficiaries that applied for social grants due to amendments in the means test. Payment for capital assets decreased because of stricter measures taken by department. 21 Selected votes – Social Development

A major policy issue that is currently under reviewing by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is that a large amount of the Agency’s administration funds are spent on cash payment contractors. SASSA is reviewing these cash payments contracts in order to negotiate cheaper prices which will resulted in a significant savings for the department and for government as a whole. About 80 per cent of social grant recipients are currently paid via cash payment contractors at a significant cost to government. SASSA is also looking at ways to move beneficiaries to bank accounts which will also resulted in a significant savings because the bank charges are much less than the cash payment contractor fees. Selected votes – Social Development 22

Spent R1.6 billion or 27 per cent of the total available budget of R6.1 billion by the end of the first quarter. Spending broadly in line with expectations, except in programme 2 Programme 2 spent R62.8 million or 4.64 per cent of the R1.4 billion appropriation in this programme. The slower than expected spending is mainly in goods and services where 3 per cent of allocated funds have been spent thus far. This is mainly due to: –delays in the submission of claims for payments related to Kha-Ri- Gude (the adult mass literacy campaign), which will be processed in Q2; and –delays in the roll out of the Workbooks project 23 Selected votes – Basic Education

DBE was allocated R750 million for the provision of workbooks to Grade R – 7 learners in the 2011 academic year None of these funds spent by 30 June, but the process is now underway DBE is employing curriculum and materials development experts on contract to develop, translate and quality assure the workbooks in- house rather than tender for outside consultants Project split into a Workbook A (for 1 st and 2 nd terms in 2011) and Workbook B (for 3 rd and 4 th terms) Planned piloting of workbooks for alternate grades by Sept/Oct – to be printed and distributed thereafter (the major expenditure) Department confident that Workbook A will be at schools and ready for use by learners at the start of the 2011 school year in January. Printing and distribution of Book B thereafter 24 Selected votes – Basic Education

Spent R10.6 billion or 45% of the total available budget of R23.7 billion Spending broadly in line with expectation, with some slow spending Spent R58.2 billion of 15% of it current payments allocation, which is mainly due to: –Delays in the QCTO project –Delays in carrying-out he forensic audit of Indlela –Delays in the submission of accommodation and transport claims Transfers: Spent R12.2 billion of the projected R13.1 billion, which is 7% or R881 million less than anticipated mainly because approved claims for capital grants were less than expected. (i.e., Universities submit business plans for capital projects, and if approved are paid according to projections and progress reports) 25 Selected votes – Higher Education

Selected votes – Cooperative Governance & Traditional Affairs  At the end of the 1st Quarter, CoGTA’s actual expenditure was R1,7 billion, as compared to projected expenditure of R275 million  This faster than expected trend is due to Local Government equitable share transfer that were transferred to the municipalities earlier than normal. According to CoGTA, the transfer was informed by a strategic decision taken to assist selected municipalities that were financial stretched 45

This was due to structural changes that led to Rural Development function being moved from CoGTA to Department of Rural Development and Land Reform

 The projected expenditure in the first quarter of 2010/1 was R551.1 million, however, actual expenditure was R208.5 million. This was about 37.83% of the projection. The primary reason for under- expenditure was attributed to transfers that were not made to public entities. Public entities such as Telkom and Sentech did not submit drawdown requests.

Selected votes – Energy 49 Note: comparison of the department’s current expenditure to the expenditure of the 2009/10 financial year has not be done because the analysis might give a distorted picture of the department’s performance. For the 1 st quarter, the department’s total projected expenditure amounted to R million. However, for the period under review, the department has spent R million which is per cent of the Department’s projected quarterly expenditure, and this translates to slower spending than expected of R93.62 million or 13.68%

Selected votes – Human Settlements Housing Policy, Research and Monitoring – Expenditure is slower than expected due to the delay in the issuing of tenders related to evaluation study on the upgrading of informal settlements and the performance of rental housing. Housing Planning and Delivery Support – The slow spending relates to the sanitation programme, a function that has been transferred to the department in 2010/11. The programme has been experiencing delays in contracting service providers to provide on-site training to rural households on the maintenance of the infrastructure before the infrastructure is installed. Strategic Relations and Governance – Expenditure is slower than expected as a result of invoices not received from SITA for the maintenance of the Housing Subsidy System. 50

Selected votes – Human Settlements Slower than expected expenditure on current payments relate to: –Signing the contract with the Special Investigations Unit, –Issuing tenders for impact and evaluation studies on rental housing, and informal settlement upgrading –Invoices not received from SITA for the maintenance of the Housing Subsidy System –Slow implementation support on the rural sanitation programme. Slower than expected expenditure on payments for capital assets relates to an indirect grant to municipalities, the Rural Households Infrastructure Grant for on site sanitation services to rural households. The slower than expected expenditure on transfers to public entities is as a result of the delay in the finalisation of the business plans of the Housing Development Agency and the Rural Housing Loan Fund. 51

Selected votes – Human Settlements Human Settlements Development Grant finances 13 housing programmes –Limpopo and Northern Cape spending faster than expected, with slowest spenders including Free-State, North-West and KwaZulu-Natal Housing Disaster Relief Grant to support flood damage in KwaZulu-Natal Rural Households Infrastructure Grant - Allocation in kind to municipalities –New programme in department; policy maker to implementer 52

Selected votes – Transport Higher than projected expenditure was partly due to payment schedules for the PTIS which were increased to cover short term bridge funding agreements made by the City of Johannesburg and City of Cape Town in terms of MFMA Section 45 for BRT systems Higher than projected expenditure was partly due to capital transfers to PRASA being increased to reduce to loan for inter-city busses. 53

Selected votes – Water Affairs  The Department has been allocated an appropriation of R7.997 billion for the current financial year. Projected expenditure was R1.999 billion and the Department expended R1.275 billion (15.94%). This represents an slower spending of R724.2 million or (9.06 %) for the 1 st quarter of this financial year. Some of the primary reasons:  Outstanding invoices for services rendered in the previous financial year (e.g. fleet management, information technology, construction works (De Hoop Dam) and consultancy). The delay was due to the BAS structure that was not ready for implementation from April  Contractual agreement between DWA and professional services providers not being finalised  Vacant posts 54

Selected votes – Water Affairs 55 In the financial years 2009/10 and 2010/11, the Department of Water Affairs changed programme structure. It makes it difficult to compare the two financial years. On the other hand, the Forestry and Sanitation functions were also moved out of the department. This is also confirmed by the negative year-on-year growth. Total expenditure decreased from R1.554 billion in June 2009 to R1.274 billion in June 2010 at an annual rate of 17 per cent as a result of the sanitation function to the Department of Human Settlements and the Forestry function to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. 2010/ /10 Current Programme Structure AllocationActualActual as % Allocation Previous Programme Structure AllocationActualActual as % Allocation Year-on- Year Growth R'000 % % Administration R 884,205R 123, % AdministrationR 795, R 120, %2.12% Water Management R 364,749R 50, % Water Resources Management R 3,895, R 848, % National Water Resources Infrastructure R 2,241,418R 507, % Water ServicesR 2,717, R 452, % Regional ManagementR 4,239,013R 575, %ForestryR 485,641.00R 123, % Water Sector RegulationR 177,207R 17, % TotalR 7,906,592R 1,274, % R 7,893,827.00R 1,544, %-17.48%
