Compensation of Employees is the primary cost driver of the programme's budget, with a projected increase of 1.7 per cent from a revised estimate of R130.116 million in 2024/25 to R132.375 million in 2025/26 due to additional funding allocated for the wage agreement. Expenditure on Goods and Services increase from R27.910 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R58.989 million in 2024/25. However, the estimated budget is expected to decrease by 25.3 per cent between 2024/25 and 2025/26. Goods and services expenditure is primarily driven by contractual obligations and the administrative support required for core programmes that implement the department's mandate. The decrease is due to the implementation of the broadband cuts.Payments for Capital Assets are expected to decrease by 56.4 per cent, from a revised estimate of R29.381 million to R12.800 million. Capital expenditure (CAPEX) is primarily driven by contractual obligations, including fleet rentals, departmental cell phone rentals, and the upgrading of ICT infrastructure.
