This Programme budget has increased from R223 million in the 2010/11 financial year to R247.9 million in the 2011/12 financial year, which is an increase of 10.8 per cent in nominal terms and 5.7 per cent in real terms. Although all sub-programmes within the Administration programme increased in nominal terms, this increase is also due to the significant increase in the Ministry sub-programme budget. This sub-programme increased by 94.4 per cent in nominal and 82.2 per cent in real terms from R1.8 million in the 2010/11 financial year to R3.5 million in the 2011/12 financial year. This increase can be attributed to the establishment of the Ministry after the split of the former Department of Minerals and Energy (DME). The Corporate Services sub-programme receives a budget allocation of R191.8 million or 77.4 per cent of the programme budget.
