1. The main appropriation to the Vote increases from R15.3 billion in 2012/13 to R16.7 billion in 2013/14. This amount, however, includes a direct charge against the National Revenue Fund of R2.6 billion for judges and magistrates' salaries. If the direct charge is excluded, the appropriation in 2013/14 to the Vote's five programmes is R14.1 billion. 2. Overall, in 2013/14, the allocation grows in real terms by 3.3%. At programme level, the Administration, Court Services and State Legal Services programmes, which the Department administers directly, show little real growth from 2012/13 (The programmes grow in real terms by -0.72%, 3.24% and 2.8% respectively). Similarly, the allocation to the National Prosecuting Authority grows in real terms by only 1.72%. The Auxiliary and Associate Services programme, however, shows the largest growth. This programme grows in real terms by 9.73% driven by additional allocations for the criminal justice system review/revamp and further capacity in the public entities and constitutional institutions.
