is the internal reprioritisation to improve on the support to Traditional Institutions, with focus being the Local

House of Traditional Leaders, dealing with funerals support to all traditional leaders amongst others.

Transfers and subsides increased from R315 thousand in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R2.852 million
in 2022/23 due to anticipated increased payments of leave gratuities for Traditional Leaders. In 2023/24,
the budget decreases by 41.1 per cent to R1.680 million as the department continue to provide for gratuity

as well as statutory payments to traditional leaders.

Payment for Capital Assets decreased from R5.569 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of
R2.000 million in 2022/23 due to completion of construction of Traditional Councils as well as absorbing

the 2021 MTEF budget cuts. In 2023/24, the budget increases by 71.5 per cent to R3.430 million mainly
as a result of internal reprioritisation to continue to prioritise the infrastructure challenges in the traditional

space implemented through Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPW&I) as well as the
rescheduled funds to continue with the construction of kings house.
