Estimates of the Provincial Revenue and Expenditure (EPRE) – 2023/24 Financial Year

estimate of R2.054 billion in 2022/23. The 2023/24 budget allocation decreases by 11 per cent due to the

effect of higher revised baseline.

Expenditure on Compensation of Employees increased from R12.439 million in 2019/20 to a revised
estimate of R31.929 million in 2022/23. However, provision for 2023/24 decline sligtly whilst remained
constant in the outer years. The decline is caused by decline in infrastructure grant allocation. In spite, the

department has, however, catered critical posts for human resource capacitation.

Expenditure on Goods and Services increased substantially from R204.052 million in 2019/20 to a revised
estimate of R847.880 million in 2022/23. Contrary, allocation for 2023/24declined drastically 73.5 per cent

and continues to show a declining trend over the outer year, largely due to decreased grant allocation.
Further impacting the decline is a significant amount of roll over received during the current year’s

adjustment period, which ultimately gave rise to a revised estimate figure, from which budgeting and
planning for next fiscal year is based.

Capital expenditure decreased from R1.362 billion in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R1.175 billion in
2022/23, and continue to decline further to R1.143 billion in 2023/24 mainly due to decrease Education

Infrastructure Grant allocated to the province.
