CDC is as a result of funding for the BFI project for the water effluent project. Over the 2023 MTEF,

as well as for the BFI project at CDC.

ECDC and MTC, which are listed as government business enterprises (Schedule 3D) in the PFMA. The

2023/24. The total transfers to ECDC increase from R328.407 million in 2022/23 revised estimate to
R596.636 million in 2023/24 mainly due to additional funding provided to recapitalise the entity in support
of its new strategy as well as funding for the Economic Development Fund.
