The grant is the department’s share of the Expanded Public Works Incentive grant to provinces based on
the Full Time Equivalent (FTEs) job opportunities created by the department. This conditional grant
increased from R6.814 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R13.502 million. In 2023/24, the budget
decreases by 22.3 per cent to R10.485 million when compared to the 2022/23 revised estimate due to the
reduced number of work opportunities created in 2022/23.

Table 10 above shows the summary of transfers in respect of payment of property rates and taxes for
provincial owned properties. Transfers to municipalities increased from R507.339 million in 2019/20 to a
revised estimate of R666.002 million. This increase is attributable to the broadening of the property
portfolio owned by the province as well as the impact of higher municipal valuations that increases the
property rates and taxes. In 2023/24, the budget decreases by 18.2 per cent to R544.608 million when
compared to the 2022/23 revised estimate due to once off allocation for the settlement of municipal rates
and taxes accruals.
