2022/23 PER PROGRAMME
Programme One- Administration
Expenditure for Quarter One is R25.5 million against projection of R27.3 million resulting in an under
expenditure of R1.8 million(6.5%) mainly due Compensation of employees (R2.9 million) as a result of
vacancies and overspending on goods and services (R1.1 million) due to higher expenditure than projected for
travel, fleet services, Audit costs and bursaries.
Programme Two – Sector Market and Development
Expenditure for Quarter One is R13.6 million against projection of R10.9 million resulting in an over expenditure
of R2.7 million (24.9%) mainly on goods and services due to incorrectly posted expenditure for IMEDP (R5.4
million) that should have been posted instead of Programme. Compensation of employees underperformed by
R2.7 million due to misalignment of expenditure as some officials in Programme Two are paid from programme
Three. Excluding IMEDP expenditure the programme spent R7.8 million against projection of R10.9 million
resulting in a variance of R3.1 million (28.5%).
Programme Three – Development Finance
Expenditure for Quarter One is R201.2 million against projection of R214.5 million resulting in an under
expenditure of R13.3 million (6.2%) mainly due to transfers and subsidies (R15.4 million) for Cooperatives
Development Programme(CDSP). Compensation of employees over spent by R2.9 million due to misalignment
of expenditure as some officials in programme Two are paid from Programme Three.
Programme Four – Enterprise Development
Expenditure for Quarter One was R351.7 million against projection of R358.2 million resulting in an under
expenditure of R6.4 million(0.6%) mainly on Compensation of employees (R1.3 million) due to Vacancies and
goods and services (R5.1 million) due to expenditure for IMEDP posted in programme two. Inclusive of IMEDP
expenditure the programme spent R357.6 million against projection of R358.2 million resulting in a variance of
R601 thousand (0.1%).

2022/23 Q1 PER ECONOMIC CLASSIFICATION
Compensation of Employees – Expenditure for quarter one is R34.1 million (89.6%) against
projection of R38.1 million resulting a variance of R4 million (10.4%) due to a vacancies
(16.2%)
Goods and services – Expenditure for quarter one is R21.5 million (103.3%) against
projection of R20.8 million resulting in an over expenditure of R691 thousand (-3.3%) largely
due to payments for Audit cost and travel related expenditure which was higher than
anticipated in quarter one.
Transfers and subsidies - Expenditure for quarter one amounted to R536.1 million (97.2%)
against projection of R551.4 million resulting in an underspending of R15.3 million (2.8%) due
to:

the slow uptake of the CDSP programme. Funds will be transferred as National Treasury
has approved the submitted virement request.
CDSP (R5.3 million): Delays in the appointment of services providers to supply the
required machinery and equipment.
Machinery and Equipment – Expenditure for quarter one was R363 thousand (70.5%)
against projection of R514 thousand resulting in an under expenditure of R151 thousand
(29.5%) due to expiry of Konica Minolta contract and the cost of Vodacom RT contract which
is less than anticipated.
