. Preliminary Revenue & Expenditure Outcomes: End March 2017
Analysis per department • Education • Compensation of employees • The over expenditure in the department is mainly under compensation of employees, which has recorded overspending of R123.2 million as a result of an increase in learner numbers which has required the appointment of additional educators in the system. • Goods and Services • The under expenditure of R66.9 million is mainly due to cash flow problems as a result of the overspending on compensation of employees. • Transfers and subsidies • The over expenditure is mainly due to the payment of leave gratuities for officials who left the employ of the department during the financial year. It is difficult to accurately budget for this item as it is difficult to anticipate the resignations with precision. • Health • The department has recorded an under expenditure of R125,2 million, this relates mainly to the underspending on conditional grants. Rollovers have been requested for the unspent conditional grants. • Compensation of employees • The department has overspent on compensation of employees as a result of OSD rank translations, grade progressions and improved qualifications that have been implemented during the financial year.
Analysis per department cont… • Transfers and Subsidies • The overspending is mainly attributed to the transfers to households committed towards the Cuban programme for which no budget was allocated in the current financial year. • Payments for Capital Assets • The under spending is attributable to slow delivery on infrastructure projects including refurbishments and procurement of medical equipment for new infrastructure. Rollovers have been requested for the completion of projects. • Social Development • The department of social development has recorded under expenditure of R47.6 million, which relates mainly to the underspending on the substance abuse treatment grant as a result of a prolonged litigation which delayed the construction of the centre. A roll over has been requested in this regard. • Public Works • The department has underspent with an amount of R3.5 million at the end of the financial year. The department has recorded overspending on payments for capital assets due to the procurement of equipment for EPWP. Virements will be effected to defray the excess expenditure. • Sport, Arts and Culture • The department has underspent with an amount of R22.9 million, this is mainly due to the delays in the construction of libraries in the province as a a result of delays in the acquisition of land and appointment of consultatnts by the implementing agent.
Analysis per department cont… • Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development • The underspending in the department is mainly in the CASP and illema conditional grants as a result of the late receipt of invoices from service providers as well as the delay in the verification process of work done at the vaalharts revitalisation project.
