Tables 4 and 5 above shows the department’s summary of payments and estimates by programme. The

department’s expenditure increased from R963.363 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of
R1 004.045 billion 2022/23, due to the increased spending on transfers to departmental agencies to
finance film development and increased spending on capital spending for library infrastructure.

Compensation of employees increased from R540.233 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of

R567.475 million in 2022/23. This increase is due to the improvement in conditions of service for officials.
In 2023/24, expenditure increases by 3.1 per cent to R585.325 million due the planned staffing of the new

libraries in the province and also the pay progression to qualifying members of staff.

Goods and services decreased from R227.118 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R194.989 million
in 2022/23. The decrease was driven by a change in the mode of doing service delivery in certain areas
