Programme 2 had been allocated 102.1 million, which represented an average nominal increase of -17.79 per cent when compared to the 2009/10 financial year. The reason was because this programme increased substantially from R 81.3 million in 2006/07 to R 124.2 million in 2009/10, at an average annual rate of 15.1 per cent. The 42.7 per cent growth in spending in 2009/10 was due to the rollover of R 15 million from 2008/09 for the training of volunteers for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The Scientific Support sub- programme allocation was projected to grow at a much slower average annual rate of 24.3 per cent over the medium term, due to increase expenditure on consultants to train more athletes through the Sport Science Institute in preparation for the 2012 Olympics and for research on medical and scientific interventions. In fact this year the budget for this programme moved from 104.3 to 158 million, with a nominal increase of 52.06 per cent due to the above stated reasons. This was a programme that was meant to provide support to public entities.
