Table 2 above provides the summary of the department’s funding from 2019/20 to 2025/26. Equitable
share increased from R721.481 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R734.928 million in 2022/23.
The increased funding was mainly driven by the increased funding for capital projects for renovation of

museums and the increased allocation for the film industry development. In 2023/24, equitable share has
decreased by 0.57 per cent to R739.108 million, due to the function shift to centralise funds for Microsoft

Licences under the Office of the Premier (OTP). Another function that has been shifted to OTP is the
commemoration of days which do not fall within the mandate of the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts
and Culture. These include the World Aids Day, Day for the aged, Children’s Day etc. Equitable share

Increases in the MTEF period to accommodate improvements in the conditions of service for employees.

Conditional grants increased from R241.882 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R254.203 million
in 2022/23 due to greater investment in the library to change the landscape of the Eastern Cape as it was

poorly resourced with these facilities in the past. In 2023/24, conditional grants show slight increases to
R254.286 million.
