The expenditure increased from R47.636 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R57.433 million in 2024/25 mainly due to the appointment of contractual personnel for municipal support interventions. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 19.7 per cent to R68.765 million mainly due to provisions made for new critical posts in the revised organisational structure. Compensation of Employees increased from R45.746 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R53.932 million in 2024/25 due to the appointment of contractual personnel for municipal support interventions. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 22 per cent to R65.802 million due to provisions made for new critical posts in the revised organisational structure. Goods and Services increased from R1.001 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R3.078 million in 2024/25 due to costs associated with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. In 2025/26, the budget decreases by 3.7 per cent to R2.963 million due to internal reprioritisation. Transfers and Subsidies decreased from R889 thousand in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R423 thousand in 2024/25 due to a decrease in the number of officials exiting the department. It is anticipated that no officials will be exiting the department, hence no further allocation over the 2025 MTEF. 796
