The original allocation to the Department as per Estimates of National Expenditure (ENE) was R1 030 billion but was adjusted to R995.8 million after roll-over and shifting of funds. The allocation decreased from the R4 682 billion allocated in the 2009/10 financial year to R1 030 in 2010/11, which was a significant decrease (-78.7 %). The Departmental revenue was down to R30.3 million from R217.1 million (-86.0%). The total revenue was down to R1 026 billion from R4 899 billion (-79.1%). The decrease in revenue can be attributed to the split in the DME into two stand-alone departments, namely Department of Mineral Resources and Department of Energy.
