The department%u2019s expenditure increased from R940.276 million in 2021/22 to R961.588 million in 2022/23, mainly due to capital expenditure on new libraries and renovations to museums. The department%u2019s expenditure increased from R961.588 million in 2022/23 to R983.988 million in 2023/24, mainly due to increased funding for the community library grant to fund the operationalisation of new libraries through the supply of books and equipment. The department%u2019s expenditure increased from R983.988 million in 2023/24 to R1.043 billion in 2024/25, mainly due to the additional funding for the library function in municipalities. The department%u2019s expenditure increased from R1.043 billion in 2024/25 to a revised estimate of R1.060 billion in 2024/25, mainly due to capital expenditure for Ntabankulu and Fingo Library. Expenditure increases from revised estimate of R1.060 billion or 1.8 per cent to R1.079 billion in 2025/26 mainly due for the implementation of wage agreement and the exile repatriation project of remains from foreign countries to South Africa (Eastern Cape). Compensation of employees increased from R524.855 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R604.848 million in 2024/25. This increase is due to the improvement of the conditions of service.
