The negative growth for roads in 2000/01 was because the Department had to cut the budget for roads and increase the budget for rail subsidies to prevent the discontinuation of certain rail services. The impact of this budget shift was R 292 million from the roads budget to the rail budget. If the adjustment had not taken place, the budget for Rail would have decreased by 10% and the budget for Roads would have grown by 10,3%. In 2001/02 the high growth in the Roads budget reflects a correction of this budget. (If no adjustment was made in 2000/01, net growth in 2001/02 would have been 7,5% and 29,4% for Roads and Rail respectively).
More details explain the impact of certain additional and once-off allocations on growth patterns in the following slides.

This slide further explains growth patterns of the Roads budget, particularly the baseline, because certain additional and once-off allocations distort the growth patterns. If the effect of the R 292 million reduction in 2000/01 was removed, the baseline budget would have grown by 16,38% in 2000/01. Because of the reduction, a correction was made in 2001/02, but this correction was limited to prevent a too high growth in 2001/02 compared to the previous year. (Baseline would have reduced by 3,13%). The correction was therefore continued in 2002/03 with a baseline growth of 21,46%.

The high growth in rail subsidies and the negative growth for roads in 2000/01 was because the Department had to cut the budget for roads and increase the budget for rail subsidies to prevent the discontinuation of certain rail services. Initially the adjustment was R 342 million, but an adjustment of R50 million, reflected in the figures, reduced the impact of this budget shift to R 292 million. This adjustment increased the growth for rail subsidies by 25,13% while reducing the growth of the roads budget by 37,68%. If the adjustment had not taken place, the budgets for Rail and Road would have grown by 23,52% and 22,83% respectively. In 2001/02 the high growth in the Roads budget reflects a correction of this budget. (If no adjustment was made in 2000/01, growth in 2001/02 would have been 6,91% and 19,61% for Roads and Rail respectively).
The budget for Roads in 2001/02, however, included an amount of R 94 million for Poverty Relief. If this amount is excluded from the Roads budget, the growth in 2001/02 would have been a negative 2,97%.
The negative growth of 2,34% in the Roads budget for 2004/05 is because of the discontinuation of a special allocation for Poverty Relief of R 100 million from that year. If this special allocation was excluded, growth would have been 6% in 2004/2005.

DLTC’s R 21,5m (100%)
NATIS R 14,5m (39,3%)
2002/03: Additional allocations for safety issues and extending access to public transport, totaling a further R40m and reprioritisation of the remainder of the budget took up other increases. Main increases were:
RTM Communication & Education 24,8m (46,6%)
AARTO R17m (100%)
