PRESENTATION expenditure for the 2008/09 financial year
REASON FOR UNDERSPENDING The unspent budget allocation of R505,047 million is mainly due to the under expenditures on the De Hoop Dam project. • The Department requested the National Treasury to utilise the funds that could not be spent on this project for other projects (Nandoni and Inyaka water treatment works and the Hluhluwe regional water scheme), but the request was not approved- R265m • Unpaid invoices as at 31 March 2009: R227m Action taken by the department: • The Department requested the National Treasury to roll-over R272,3 million of the underspending to the 2009/10 financial year for the continuation of the De Hoop Dam project.
Explanation • Disbursements of the funds iro De Hoop was not made as a result of the delays in the conclusion of the negotiations to finalise a memorandum of agreement with the 23 different mines. • The memorandum records the principles for the sharing of the project cost and was essential to conclude the negotiations prior to the commencements with preparations for project implementation. • Against this situation, the DWA requested the NT for approval to utilised the unspent funds for the benefit of other bulk water supply infrastructure projects that were nearing completion. • The necessary approval was not received from the National Treasury and consequently these funds remained unspent within the Vote while WTE continued to implement the relevant bulk water services projects using funds meant for recurrent expenditure items. • Had the approval from NT been received R262,67 million would have been paid out to the WTE to augment the capex on other bulk water infrastructure projects.
