The entity received a transfer of R144 782 million for 2009/10 from the Department of Social Development. It earned an interest of R16 million and this was less than it had expected. The financial report showed that an amount of R94 million was committed as mandate expenses, that is, costs committed for poverty eradication projects. It further reported that an amount of R12, 3 million was withheld from projects that were terminated (or project written back). These are the projects that were not performing due to unresolved conflicts among beneficiaries as well as lack of capacity. Some of these projects had not been performing for over six years.
