The KwaZulu-Natal's Provincial Department of Public Works (PoKZN) reported that its total budget for the 2009/10 financial year was R237 million, this amount included the budget allocation of R236 million and the roll-over from the 2008/2009 financial year of R1 million. The PoKZN reported that invoices received and payments made were to the amount of R237 million. However, the PoKZN reported that the invoices received totalled R459 million resulting in a shortfall of R221 million and that the unpaid invoices had to be held over for the 2010/11 financial year due to insufficient funds in the 2009/10 financial year. The implication was that the first charge for the 2010/11 financial year was R221 million, leaving a balance of R39 million out of R260 million which was allocated for the 2010/11 financial year.
