4.2.1 The DCS received R15 129,1 billion in the 2010/11 financial year i.e. 3,8 % of the total national budget and 14 % of the allocation to the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) cluster, which received 23,6% (R108 781 billion) of the national budget. The DCS' budget thus reflects a R1,3 billion nominal increase which translates to a real increase of only R344,5 million.
