Personnel head count increased from 528 in 2019/20 to 544 in 2022/23. The decrease to 483 from
2023/24 is due to the decision to halt the filling of vacant positions owing to budgetary constraints.
The increase in personnel budget in 2023/24 is mainly as a result of inflationary alignment, pay
progression, competitiveness relating to the market and benchmarking / job evaluation as
consideration is made for motivation in respect of certain posts.

This trend is expected to continue in this manner over the MTEF.
