As illustrated by Table 1, the overall appropriation of R8.1 billion highlights a slight 6.3% real terms increases when compared to the R7.2 billion appropriation for 2010/11. The increase was mainly driven by the real increase of 88.7% allocation for the programme of Land Reform and 23% for the programme of Rural Development. The committee welcomed the increase in the two programmes and further noted that such allocation symbolized the significance of the programmes. However, the budget allocation for the programme of administration, geo-spatial and cadastral services and that of restitution showed a decline in both nominal and real terms.
