Service Delivery: Programme 2 was allocated a total amount of R712.5 million for the 2009/10 financial year after adjustments period, but the Department only spent about R710 million or 99.7 per cent of this budget. This shows a 0.3 under expenditure in this programme at the end of the 2009/10 financial year. The reasons for lower than expected expenditure was due to the unspent R74.3 million which was supposed to have been spent in the buying of Hilux bakkies and the Department decided to purchase less than what was budgeted for as well as failure to spend on machinery and other equipments. Of note is that an amount of R72.3 million was shifted from compensation of employees to other programmes due to high vacancies (13.8 % in 2009/10 and 11% in 2010/11) which were not filled in the 2009/10 financial year.
