Expenditure increased from R2.631 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R2.723 million in 2024/25 due to reprioritisation of funds for ad hoc maintenance of infrastructure in the Traditional councils and kingdoms. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 311.5 per cent to R11.204 million due to additional funding from funds rescheduled in the 2024/25 budget adjustment as well as maintenance budget reprioritisation as well as EPWP grant received that was higher than previous financial year. 7.5.2 Maintenance The maintenance budget relates to EPWP programme allocation and is captured in the department annexure (Table B.5) as well as funds set aside for maintenance of Kingdoms and Traditional Councils. 7.5.3 Non infrastructure items None. 7.6 Departmental Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects None. 7.7 Conditional Grants Payments 7.7.1 Conditional grant payments by grant Table 8: Summary of departmental conditional grants by grant Outcome Mainappropriation Adjusted appropriation Revised estimate 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 2025/26 2026/27 2027/28 2 186 2 281 2 040 2 000 2 000 2 000 2 492 - - 24.6 -- - - - - --- 2 186 2 281 2 040 2 000 2 000 2 000 2 492 - - 24.6 R thousand % change from 2024/25 Medium-term estimatesTotal Expanded Public Works Programme Intergrated Grant for Province G t 11 Table 8 above shows the departmental expenditure on conditional grants per grant from 2021/22 to 2027/28.
