The purpose of the programme is to provide effective leadership, management and administrative support services to the Minister and other branches in the Department. This programme includes an allocation to Corporate Services (55 per cent) and Management (28 per cent) whilst the rest of the activities in the programme will be primarily used to set up the new Department, which includes expenditure on recruitment of staff, capital expenditure for the renovation of premises, information technology infrastructure, operating and support systems for the new Minister and mandate implementation costs. However, it is indicated that for the periods 2011/12 and 2012/13 this programme still receives approximately 23 per cent of the Department's annual budget. In addition, an allocation has also been assigned for Ministerial Special Programmes which the Minister intends using to undertake activities such as imbizos.
