PANSLAB ACT 59 of 1995 SECTION 2 • Promote and ensure respect of all South African official languages thus ensuring that they enjoy parity of esteem • Promote and ensure respect for- i. All languages commonly used by communities in South Africa including German, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Portuguese, Tamil, Telegu and Urdi and; ii.

STRATEGIC OUTCOME-ORIENTED GOALS OF PANSALB • In line with Section 6(5)(a) of the Constitution and the objects of the PanSALB Act, which requires promotion and creations of conditions for the development and equitable use of all official languages the following strategic objectives have been identified as critical: • Creation of the conditions for development and use of the South African languages • Equitable use of all South African languages • Establishment of linguistic human rights ethos • Establishment of research capacity • Promotion of PanSALB’s mandate deliverables • Creation of the organization's suitable institutional ability to deliver on the core business and comply with legislation, regulations and prescripts
OVERVIEW OF THE PANSALB PROGRAMMES The PanSALB conducts its activities through the following three broad programmes, namely: • Programme 1: Administration – Focus is on providing administrative support for optimal functioning of the PanSALB’s core business (programme 2). It consists of various sub-programme such as Finance, Supply Chain, IT and Institutional Planning and Governance. • Programme 2: Language Development, Use and Equitability – The basis of this programme is the Constitution of the Republic and the PanSALB Act, which is mainly about promotion and creation of the conditions for development of all official languages, including Khoi, Nama, San and Sign Languages. This is divided into a number of sub-programmes which vary from dictionary development to linguistic human rights. • Programme 3: Public Engagement and Stakeholder Relations – In executing its mandate, the PanSALB uses the public engagement and stakeholder relations sub-programme for advocacy

BUDGETING • The total budget of PanSALB is R108 million. This will be spent of three main programmes, vis; • Service delivery programme – Language Development, Use and Equitability • Service delivering Enabling programme – Public Engagement and Stakeholder Relations • Support programme – Administration/support services • Zero-Based Budgeting approach has been utilised to ensure that budget is distributed according to the priorities as much as possible. • Due to the smaller allocation, it is impossible to have a position-based strategy for the PanSALB. The mandates of the PanSALB remain largely underfunded and this affects negatively on the impact PanSALB should have language development, use and equitability. Therefore, consideration for additional funding must be made, while management will continue in their effort to attract secondary revenue .
BUDGET 2017/18 Budget Allocations PanSALB mandate (service delivery programme) is funded by 66% of the R108 million appropriated budget. Support programme takes up 35% of the appropriation. The capital budget is limited to R1,5 million for computer equipment budgeted for under support programme.
