Analysis of trends are dissected hereunder. Compensation of Employees%u2019 budget increased from R49.765 million in 2021/22 to the revised estimate of R51.035 million in 2024/25, a gradual expenditure growth that is driven by annual increase in Improvement on Conditions of Service. The personnel budget for 2025/26 grows by 44.6 per cent and outer years of the medium-term period show a significant increase, partly due to provision made for Cost-of-Living Adjustment, coupled with additional funding provided for the additional support staff, owing to upsurge in the number of MPLs in the new government administrative term. Goods and services expenditure increased from R4.358 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R8.075 million in the 2024/25 due to once off funds received for various action which do not continue to the same extent in the medium period. Thus, 2025/26, budget baseline decreases by 28.3 per cent. The outer years maintain a stabilised growing scenario, primarily catering for inflationary related increases. Expenditure on Transfers and subsidies increased from R121.419 million in 2021/22 to the revised estimates of R133.189 million in 2024/25, whilst 2025/26 depicts a decrease of 11.7 per due to the impact of the previous expenses related to exit benefits for non-returning members.
