22. 2016/19 Allocation: Notes
In order to restructure financial resources according to the current economic reality, the CRL Rights Commission currently freeze vacant positions. Savings from frozen positions amounts to R 6, 288 m per year. The limitation of human resources affects the effective implementation of programs negatively.
The current baseline adjustment of 11% is below inflation in respect of remuneration of staff at 13.1%. As a result service delivery will be limited accordingly.
Current performance will not be sustainable due to the regression of financial resources available to program implementation.

24. CHALLENGES – LIMITED RESOURCES
The CRL Rights Commission will continue freezing vacant positions to create savings to reallocate to commissioners and delivery of programs For 2016/17
The above creates a burden for the organization to serve +-52 million people with limited human resources

25. CHALLENGES – LIMITED RESOURCES
Non compliance (Act 19 of 2002), that states that the Commission must call the National Consultative Conference at least twice in every five years.
Research and community engagements on virginity inspection is sought in order to come up with recommendations for possible legislation

26. RECOMMENDATIONS
Baseline to be increased in order to maximise our work
