The department only has one entity, namely the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council (ECPACC), which is responsible for fostering developments in Arts and Culture. The total allocation for ECPACC decreased from R36.120 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R22.375 million in 2024/25, due to the once off allocation to the entity in 2021 to address the socio-economic needs of artists that were not extended to the years after Covid 19. This was the reason for the decline in expenditure. Allocation to the entity increases by 3.8 per cent to R23.239 million in the 2025/26 financial year, due to the funding of the film industry and for purposes of covering office rental costs which was accommodated by the Department of Public Works in the past. 7.7.2 Transfers to other entities Table 11: Summary of transfers to other entities Outcome Main appropriationAdjusted appropriation Revised estimate Medium-term estimates % change from 2024/25R thousand 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2025/26 2026/27 2027/28Public Sector Training Institutions 1 349 1 395 1 407 1 500 1 335 1 335 1 500 1 500 1 568 12.4Arts and Culture Associations 26 855 22 324 24 580 24 580 24 580 24 580 25 580 25 580 26 731 4.1Eastern Cape Museums 13 262 12 174 14 034 17 404 17 404 17 404 17 404 17 404 18 191 0.0Heritage Institutions 4 000 4 000 4 000 5 800 5 800 5 800 7 050 6 250 6 531 21.6Library Institutions 2 000 2 000 2 000 2 000 2 000 2 000 2 000 2 000 2 090 0.0Steve Biko Foundation Library 500 %u2013 500 500 500 500 500 500 523 0.0Sport Federations 17 298 23 500 19 567 18 529 18 529 18 529 19 116 19 395 20 286 3.2Total departmental transfers 65 264 65 393 66 088 70 313 70 148 70 148 73 150 72 629 75 920 4.32024/25Table 11 above shows the transfers to other entities increased from R65.393 million in 2021/22 financial year to a revised estimate of R70.148 million in 2024/25 financial year.
