CAPACITY CONSTRAINS • Shortage of Technical personnel • The contracts of 4 Cubans ended July 2006 and the Department is awaiting 6 new Cubans to be appointed on contract basis. • The Department went through a restructuring process that had now been completed and critical vacant posts are being identified to be filled. • Contractors are in some instances not able to deliver within timeframes. This is now taken into account with the new allocation of 10 000 subsidies.
