Expenditure for the programme increased from R466.921 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R578.306 million in 2024/25. In 2025/26, it increases by 6.5 per cent to R616.127 million. Compensation of Employees increased from R264.618 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R318.185 million in 2024/25, which is attributed to the implementation of the new organisational structure on PERSAL and the ongoing process of filling vacant posts. The 14.4 per cent increase to R363.992 million in 2025/26 is due to provisions made for the CoE adjustment in anticipation of the wage agreement and the prioritised filling of critical vacant posts. Goods and services increased from R108.753 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R173.397 million in 2024/25, due to the centralisation of funds from other programmes to this programme. The decrease of 4.6 per cent to R165.499 million in 2025/26 is due to budget cut for the provision of broadband services. Transfers and subsidies relate to households mainly for the payment of leave gratuities and penalties and external bursaries. The budget increased from R16.183 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R27.851 million in 2024/25. This increase was driven by the payment of leave gratuities, resulting from a higher-than-expected attrition rate. This is followed by 25.8 per cent decrease to R20.652 million in 2025/26, which is attributed to a lower number of employees leaving the department and reduced costs for departmental vehicle licenses. Payment of capital assets decreased from R76.904 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R58.874 million in 2024/25 mainly due to the function shift of Microsoft Licenses to the Office of the Premier. This is followed by an increase of 12.1 per cent to R65.984 million in 2025/26 due to reprioritisation of funds to provide for software contractual obligations such as, End-User Protection (Anti-Virus) and e-signatures, which remain critical for the department. 672
