4.2.2 The DCS' allocation is expected to reach R18,3 billion in the 2012/13 financial year i.e. an annual increase of 9,7 % owing largely to an additional allocation over the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period for the Occupational Specific Dispensation (OSD) for correctional officials (R300 million per year) and the adjustment to compensation of employees (R583,1 million in 2010/11; R619,4 million in 2011/12 and R652,8 million in 2012/13). The allocation of additional funds for the construction of four new public-private partnership (PPP) correctional facilities in Paarl, East London, Klerksdorp and Nigel, at a combined cost of R1,4 billion, has also contributed to the increased allocation.
