The total spending for the period under review amounted to R1,792 billion, representing 89, 5 % with the under-spending of R210,9 million (10, 5 %). The under-spending is made up as follows: (i) R21,6 million for compensation of employees due to the organisation review and staff resignation; and (ii) R187,6 million for goods and services mainly for 112 Emergency Call Centre and Broadband, which emanated from the delay by National Treasury in providing the department with approvals on the project feasibility on 112 Emergency Call Centre and the delay by the Departmental Bid Adjudication Committee in approving the tender for Broadband. The Department had appointed technical advisors for feasibility study on 112 Emergency Call Centre project during the 2011/12 financial year and tender was advertised towards the end of March 2012 so that this project can be implemented as early as possible in the 2012/13 financial year. The Department has also engaged Sentech in the implementation of the broadband project.
