9. Expenditure TrendsOverall

10. Explanation of Expenditure Trends per Economic Classification

11. Compensation of Employee Expenditure Trends

12. Compensation of Employees • Compensation budget is under severe pressure and leaves very little room to appoint additional staff • However expenditure was only at 45% at end of 2nd Quarter • Department still has to incur expenditure relating to: • Performance Bonuses: R2,4 million • General Salary increases: R6 million • Pay progression: R2,3 million • Notwithstanding these expenditures there is an anticipated saving of R10 million due to the fact that post that have been vacated have not been filled, pending a prioritisation exercise

13. Goods and ServicesExpenditure Trends

14. Goods and Services • Expenditure is at 34% after the 2nd Quarter • There are three main areas in which Goods and Services are divided namely;

15. Goods and Services • Property management • Property Management budget relates to the reimbursement of payments made by DPW for the Municipal Accounts and Property Leases on behalf of the Department and its Public Entities • The reason for the slow spending in this area is due to the delay in the submission of monthly accounts by DPW • Given past history and current commitments it is anticipated that the budgeted amount will be spent by 31 March 2012 • Mzansi Golden Economy • Approval was obtained from the Treasury to transfer R81 million from the Investing in Culture Budget to be redeployed for the purposes of the Mzansi Golden Economy (Households) • A Business Plan is to be developed which will dictate the spending areas and processes to ensure spending by 31 March 2012 • Normal Departmental activities • The expenditure of the remainder of the Goods and Services Budget is pegged at 51% for the 2nd Quarter • Projected to 31 March 2012 no under or over expenditure is anticipated but expenditure will be carefully managed to avoid any possible over expenditure for the remainder of the financial year

16. Goods and Services(Normal Departmental activities)

17. Expenditure TrendsProvinces and Municipalities(Conditional Grant on Community Libraries)

18. Provinces and Municipalities(Conditional Grant on Community Libraries) • In total 50% of the budget was transferred to the various Provinces in the 2nd Quarter • Funds transferred to the various Provinces are based on their needs • By implication spending is not managed by the Department directly • In order to stimulate spending the Department is working closely with the Technical Assistance Unit of the National Treasury • The Department also encourages the Provinces to increase capacity to expedite expenditure • It also has regular meetings with the Provinces, collectively and individually to iron out erratic expenditure

19. Expenditure TrendsDepartmental Agencies Accounts (Current)

20. Departmental Agencies Accounts (Current) • This expenditure item relates to subsidies paid to the Department’s Public Entities • Expenditure is at 55% after the 2nd Quarter • Payments to the Playhouses are made every trimester based on a third of their total subsidy • This is the reason why the expenditure percentage is at 55% • Payments to Heritage Institutions and Libraries are done monthly based on a twelfth of the total subsidy • No over or under expenditure is anticipated under this economic classification

21. Expenditure TrendsDepartmental Agencies Accounts(Capital)

22. Departmental Agencies Accounts(Capital) • As at the end of the 2nd Quarter only 9% of the budget had been spent • This expenditure item relates to the maintenance , upgrading, and refurbishment of the Department’s Public Entities as well as for Heritage Legacy Projects • The Department has for the past two financial years under spent on this budget although it improved markedly from an under spending of R351,679 million in 2009/10 to R79,787 million in 2010/11 • Approximately 50% of this budget is managed by the DPW which is directly related to the infrastructure projects of the Museums and heritage institutions

23. Departmental Agencies Accounts(Capital) • Delivery by the DPW remains problematic and the Department will be appointing its own implementing agency such as the Independent Development Agency (IDT) to ensure the fast tracking of new projects • The Department is also in the process of appointing the Technical Assistance Unit of the National Treasury to assist in the Project Management of the Capital Works Programme • In addition the Department has recently received approval from the National Treasury to transfer R204 million directly to Playhouses, National Film and Video Foundation, National Library of SA and SAHRA within the current financial year • Funds allocated to the Heritage Legacy projects will also be accelerated through the appointment of the IDT

24. Expenditure TrendsNon Profit Organisations

25. Non Profit Organisations • This expenditure relates to the subsidies to subsidies to BASA, Blind SA, and the Engelenburg Art Collection • At the end of the 2nd Quarter expenditure is at 59% • As in the case of the Playhouses, BASA receives a third of its subsidy in April • No over or under expenditure is anticipated under this item

26. Expenditure TrendsHouseholds

27. Households • This expenditure item relates to all the financial assistance projects the Department funds during the financial year and includes the Investing in Culture Project • Only 30% of the total budget had been spent in the 2nd Quarter • Spending on IIC has remained problematic since the Forensic Investigations • The Department realises that the IIC Project is very important as it contributes to government priorities on Job Creation.

28. Households • It was however of the view that the redeployment of these funds to the Mzansi Golden Economy will stimulate job creation on a broader scale of arts, culture and heritage • The National Treasury had therefore been approached to redirect R81 million of the IIC funds for the purposes of kick starting the Mzansi Golden Economy Strategy in relation to the Art Bank Resource, Cultural Events, Public Art Resources and Touring Ventures • An amount of R56,155 million remains for the IIC in order to wrap up this programme (R41,404 million after payments to date) • Regarding the remainder of the Households funding all the funds have been committed and will be spent by 31 March 2012

29. Expenditure TrendsCapital Assets

30. Capital Assets • This budget relates to the purchasing of machinery and equipment including IT equipment • Although only 33% of the budget had been spent at the end of the 2nd Quarter, the Department’s Chief Information Officer has established a Procurement Plan for the purchasing of IT equipment and upgrading of systems for all Programmes • Consequently no over or under expenditure is expected under this item
