The Province of Gauteng reported that it under-spent on this grant and the reasons that were given for under-spending were as follows: . That most of the programmes were not implemented due to the FIFA World Cup. . That the Department implemented the integrated Gauteng Provincial Government Holiday Programme and most of the Human Resources were deployed to this activity. Since this took place during June/July months, the expenditure will only reflect during the second quarter. With respect to challenges experienced, the Province of Gauteng reported the following: that events that were hosted in the evening posed risks for personnel and spectators, especially in far out and unlit areas; that reaction to events as they surfaced stretched the capacity of the directorate; that there was lack of staff in some units which hampered the implementation of programmes; that stakeholders did not submit their business plans timeously; that there were change of plans that were not communicated or effectively communicated by relevant stakeholders; and that slow procurement processes hampered the delivery of some services.
