4.3.1 Administration: Programme 1 was allocated a total budget of R239.0 million. The programme spent R67.4 million or 28.2 per cent of this budget in the first quarter. This means that the Department has over spent by 3.2 per cent in the first quarter budget. The over expenditure was due to spending on goods and services, which was associated with the payments of the previous financial year that took effect in April and May 2010. The expenditure for this programme was therefore expected to slow down during the second quarter of the financial year.
