The budget estimate over the MTEF per economic classification excluding transfers was R 378, 886 million. Non-Profit institutions accounted for 31%, capital goods 1%, compensation 24%, public entities 5% and goods and services for about 39%. The allocations were informed by equitable distribution of resources but care was taken to include smaller and challenged province particularly in the Northern Cape where schools are far apart. As such it was very expensive to run tournaments or play inter-school leagues. Money had been taken from bigger spender Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal to subsidise projects in the Northern Cape.
