Department: Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture

Transfers and subsidies decreased from R6.795 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R3.066 million

in 2022/23, due to amounts paid for leave gratuities since most of the current employees joined the public
service after year 2000 when capped leave is no longer accumulating, resulting in less amounts paid for
leave gratuities than before. In 2023/24 transfers decreases by 1.8 per cent to R3.012 million due to the

projected decrease in the number of officials who will retire through an age analysis.

Payments for capital assets increased from R9.856 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of
R15.752 million in 2022/23 due to expenditure on the maintenance of the departments ageing Information
and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure. In 2023/24 allocation increases by 4.1 per cent to

R16.397 million due to the need to replace ICT equipment.
