Statistics South Africa was allocated a total budget of R2, 1 billion for the 2010-11 financial year. By the end of December 2010, it showed a total expenditure of R1 billion or 50, 4 per cent. The Corporate Relations Programme showed an over-expenditure of 5 per cent which amounted to R16, 7 million. The reasons for that was the cut of R30 million on the Income and Expenditure Survey and the overspending on Compensation for Employees of R22, 02 million. It was reported that Survey Operations showed slow expenditure of R194 million or 24 per cent which was attributed to that delays in expenditure for Census 2011. The actual unit costs that have decreased materially as compared to the budgeted unit costs and the economies of scale contributed to the slow spending. It was reported that the majority of expenditure in respect of Census 2011 would take place in October 2011. The Committee expressed concern at the poor planning of Statistics South Africa since a significant amount would be requested to be rolled-over to the 2011/12 financial year.
