Over the MTEF period, the expenditure in that programme was expected to grow to R 3 billion, at an average annual rate of 10.7 per cent. The growth was mostly attributable to the Infrastructure, Development and Rehabilitation sub-programme, which was projected to increase by R 755.8 million over the period as a result of the additional allocation of R 245 million to complete the construction of the De Hoop Dam and R780.3 million for the bulk distribution system of De Hoop Dam.
