Over the MTEF period, total forecasted expenditure decreased substantially from R3.8 billion in 2009/10 to R3.1 Billion in 2010/11. Further total expenditure decreased from R3.1 Billion in 2010/11 to R183.6 million in 2011/12. The significant decline in 2010/11 is as a result of reduced transfer payments to the SOE. Transfers to SOE amount to R6.9 billion: R3.5 billion to PBMR, R1.5 billion to South African Airways, R724.1 million to Broadband Infraco and R259.1 million to Alexkor.
