The Province of Mpumalanga (Sport and Recreation) reported to the Committee that it spent R4.8 million (83 percent) of the R5.7 million that it received in the first quarter of 2010/11 financial year. The Committee was informed that the reason for under-spending was due to Golden Oldies and Regional Indigenous Games that could not be facilitated in the first quarter of the 2010/11 financial year towing to the hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. These games are postponed to the second and third quarters of the 2010 financial year. In addition, slow submission of documentation by service providers which led to the delay in the processing of payment further contributed to under-spending. The Province of Mpumalanga informed the Committee that all programmes that were put on hold will be rolled out the remainder of the 2010/11 financial year and payment of service providers will be prioritized.
