Table 7 above shows the summary of payments and estimates on infrastructure per category. Expenditure

2022/23. The 2023/24 budget allocation decreases by 10.8 per cent. The increase is attributable to higher
revised estimated in 2022/23 caused by slow implementation of infrastructure projects.

R1.812 million in 2022/23. The budget decreases by of 17.9 per cent in 2023/24 financial year. The primary

investment area remains maintenance and repairs to existing school infrastructure, and a further increase
of 2.3 per cent in refurbishment and rehabilitation, with a slight decline of 0.6 per cent in upgrades and

additions. The majority of the projects in design and procurement stage are expected to begin construction
in the second quarter of 2023/24

Expenditure on new infrastructure assets decreased from R212.687 million in 2019/20 to a revised

estimate of R48.011 million in 2022/23. The budget allocation further decreases by 7.9 percent in 2023/24
as the focus is largely planned on improving existing infrastructure.

Expenditure on non-infrastructure increased from R160. 818 million to a revised estimate of R208.2 million
in 2022/23. The budget allocation increases by 50.9 per cent in 2023/24 due to provisions made for
