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

Goods and Services decreased from R9.141 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R6.015 million in

2022/23 due to impact of the 2021 MTEF budget cuts while means had been made with the department
to try and limit its impact on the activities of the house, especially the initiation programme. In 2023/24, the
budget increases by 66.8 per cent to R10.035 million due to funds received by way of internal

reprioritisation to enhance awareness campaign and monitoring of the initiation programme in the main.

Transfers and subsidies reflects a decrease from 2022/23 by 100 per cent due to once-off payment of ex-
gratia to Members of the Provincial House for the last term(s) served.

The roles and functions of the Eastern Cape Traditional Leaders are premised on the preservation of the
traditional, cultural and customary practices of the Eastern Cape rural communities. The election of new
office bearers in the House of Traditional Leaders will require orientation and induction for the newly

elected members and all other Traditional Leaders to understand their mandate and what is expected of
them as they execute their customary duties within the confines of the constitution and other relevant
prescripts of the institution to enhance their effectiveness and efficiency. In ensuring proper functioning of

traditional institutions, funds have been made available for infrastructure renovation and to construct two
new traditional councils.
