Tables 20 and 21 above reflect the programme’s expenditure summary per sub-programme and economic

classification from 2019/20 to 2025/26. The expenditure increased from R330.277 million in 2019/20 to a
revised estimate of R358.514 million in 2022/23 due to funding received for the implementation of the

Determination of Remuneration of Public Office Bearers. In 2023/24, the budget decreases by 0.3 per cent
to R357.425 million due to departmental reprioritisation to deal with cost pressures for 2023/24.

Compensation of Employees increased from R309.936 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of
R333.898 million in 2022/23 due to the on-going recognitions to fill the position of traditional leaders and

implementation of wage increment for Traditional Leaders backdated from 2021/22 in the 2022/23 financial
year. In 2023/24, the budget decreases by 1.1 per cent to R330.200 million due falling away of the
2 financial year payment of salary adjustment implemented in 2022/23 and only carrying over the

implications of that implementation for the carry-through costs as well as funding received from PT for
incremental implementation of the handbook for tools of trade in respect of support staff for Chairpersons

of the local house of Traditional Leaders established in 2017 in the province. Furthermore, internal
reprioritisation to fund the initiation programme, funerals support as well as gratuities for traditional leaders
is contributing to this decline.

Goods and Services increased from R14.457 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R19.764 million

in 2022/23 due to continued reprioritisation to deal with underfunded activities relating to support to
institutions of Traditional leaders. In 2023/24, the budget increases by 11.9 per cent to R22.115 million
additional funding received for incremental implementation of the handbook for tools of trade, mainly

directed at Capacity building of Traditional leaders over the MTEF amongst others and also contributing
