The Committee noted the following: . That the framework of the grant requires provinces to employ contract workers. However, these workers have taken provinces to court demanding permanent employment. As a result of this, provinces cannot contract new volunteers/contract workers until judgement on litigation cases has been given and this causes provinces to under-spend. . That the provinces purchased the 2010 FIFA World Cup tickets and it is not clear whether this was in line with their business plans as required by conditional grant framework. . That the Province of the Free State only spent on activities that had to do with the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Because all other activities were put on hold, the spending outcomes as reported by the province are virtually nothing.
