1. The Budget Vote 24: Justice and Constitutional Development comprises five programmes, as well as a direct charge for magistrates and judges' salaries. The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is directly responsible for the Administration, Court Services and State Legal Services programmes. Programme 4 is the allocation to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). Although the Director-General: Justice and Constitutional Development remains its accounting officer, the NPA accounts separately for its spending. Programme 5 contains allocations to various auxiliary services, including transfer payments to: Legal Aid South Africa (Legal Aid SA) and the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), as well as to two of the State Institutions Supporting Democracy - the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) and the Public Protector (PP). Notably, this year, funding for the Represented Political Parties Fund is no longer found under this Vote.
