Expenditure increased from R25.660 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R35.324 million in 2024/25 mainly due to funding towards the operations of the programme such as opening of the Provincial House of Traditional Leaders, the initiation and Inkciyo programmes as well as other house activities. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 0.1 per cent to R35.361 million due internal reprioritisation and impact of Fiscal Consolidation while the department continue to prioritise the Initiation, Inkciyo and other House activities of the Provincial House. Compensation of Employees increased from R20.474 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R24.192 million in 2024/25 due to reprioritisation of funds to fill critical posts and funding allocated for impact of salary adjustment. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 10.7 per cent to R26.788 million due to provision made for critical vacancies and the impact of slower than anticipated implementation of ARP in the 2024/25. Goods and Services increased from R5.186 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R11.067 million in 2024/25 as the department continue to effect internal budget reprioritisation to scale up support to the Provincial House to pre COVID-19 levels, to enable the Provincial House to carry its mandate on activities of the house especially the initiation programme. In 2025/26, the budget decreases by 22.5 per cent to R8.573 million due to impact of the implementation of the fiscal consolidation over the past financial years. The Programme will continue to ensure that awareness campaign and monitoring of the initiation programme in the main continue to be implemented. Transfers and subsides decreased from R1.402 million in 2022/23 to R215 thousand in 2023/24 as the department paid for ex-gratia payments to qualifying former members of the Provincial House of Traditional Leaders (PHOTLs). 515
