The Adjustments Appropriation Bill proposes a shift of functions from the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry due to the reconfiguration of government structure. This shift of functions resulted in R487.6 million originally allocated to this Department being shifted to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The shift of the sanitation function to the Department of Human Settlements has not been fully implemented and no funds have been shifted for this purpose. The Department rolled over R232.3 million of the funds for capital projects from the previous financial year. These include funds for the construction of the De Hoop Dam and the Regional Bulk Infrastructure grant. The funds for the De Hoop Dam have been rolled over since the 2007/08 financial year. The Department has indicated that delays in finalising a memorandum of agreement with 23 mines contributed to the slow spending in the 2008/09 financial year. Furthermore, continuous rainfalls delayed the timeous completion of projects. The late submission of invoices delayed spending on the Regional Bulk Infrastructure.
