Programme1: Administration was allocated a total budget of R649.9 million for the 2010/11 financial year before adjustment. The Department has spent about R134.4 million or 20.6 per cent of the allocation in the first quarter. Even though the programme has over-spent on its transfer to household budget but it has spent less than expected in the first quarter in general. The programme had been allocated about R159 thousand for the household transfer budget but an amount of R1.1 million or 698.7 per cent of the allocation has been spent in the first quarter. According to the Department, the programme has under spent due to the fact that it is difficult to budget for such items as it depends on staff initiative. The over spending on the household budget is a symbol that funds have been redirected from other programmes to this programme which is indicative of poor budgeting.
