NORTH WEST PROVINCEDepartment: Public Works, Roads &TransportPRESENTATION TO SELECT COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS 07 September 2011
S’HAMBA SONKE BUSINESS PLAN The Province prepared the Business Plan in March 2011, under the impression that S’hamba Sonke Funding of R501 million would be extra funds over and above the previous years Infrastructure Grant to Provinces (IGP). In this Plan the Department included Carryovers/ongoing projects, Flood Damages Projects and Accruals. Projecting R597 million, R735 million and R828 million for current MTEF. The plan was later adjusted to reduce the budgets to R501 million, R590 million and R636 million, signed off on 20th April 2011. The approved plan together with the Gazetted list of projects were published in June 2011.
S’HAMBA SONKE PRMG ALLOCATION National Department of Transport transferred only R57M, received in May 2011. This is less than 25% of the R501M. (We spent the difference from the Provincial allocation)

BUDGET VS. EXPENDITURE National Department of Transport transferred only R57M, received in May 2011. This is less than 25% of the R501M. (We spent the difference from the Provincial allocation)
FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SPENDING OF THE GRANT Capital Projects suspended due to: insufficient funds in 2009/10 financial year non-performance of Service Providers (Consultants and Contractors) budget over commitment There’s extra burden of going back to complete incomplete work before starting any new work. Approved Projects list for PRMG are not a true reflection of the actual work on the ground. Allocation to North West Province is not sufficient to deal speedily with the current backlogs.
FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SPENDING OF THE GRANT Treasury Supply Chain Management Processes The possible delays in spending the current budget because of the National Treasury Instruction Note affecting bid in excess of R10 million. Unbundling of projects to allow maximum participation of Emerging Consultants and Constructors maybe construed as avoiding submission of bids over R10 million to Treasury.
