2.1.4 Irregular expenditure has increased from R214,65 million in 2011/12 to R363,79 in 2012/13. An amount of R579,329 million, which included an amount dating back to 2011/12, was still awaiting condonation at the time of reporting. The irregular expenditure was reportedly caused by the DCS' non-adherence to procurement procedures, and the absence of service level agreements with amongst others, the Departments of Public Works (DPW) and Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DoJCD).
