Table 26 and 27 above provide information on the number of persons trained, gender profiles of the
persons trained and to be trained. The training expenditure increased from R1.811 million to
R12.356 million in 2022/23 due to provision made skills development as result of the change or

reconfiguration of the organizational structure. In 2023/24, there is a decrease to R3.056 million due to
scaling down of the demand of personal to be trained. The department provides training on short courses

based on Workplace Skills Plan and the departmental Training Plan. The bursaries are awarded for
upskilling and priority is given to scarce skills in the department. The number of bursaries awarded
decreased from 88 in 2019/20 to 55 in 2022/23 due to lesser number of persons that applied. In 2023/24

the department is projecting to maintain the same number of bursaries.

9.3. Reconciliation of structural changes
