Estimates of the Provincial Revenue and Expenditure (EPRE) – 2023/24 Financial Year

R12.720 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R13.120 million in 2022/23. The increase was due to

an increased investment in the film production through co-operation with Multichoice for a Telenovela
shooting in Gqebera. The increase to the film industry was among other outcomes meant to drive the
sector to self-sustainability. Allocation declines by 15.1 per cent to R11.145 million in the 2023/24 financial

year, due to the once-off allocation for the film project.

Table 11 above shows the transfers to other entities increased from R56.613 million in 2019/20 financial
year to a revised estimate of R62.515 million in 2022/23 financial year. This was aimed at strengthening
the Provincial Heritage Resource Agency so that it can efficiently carry out its mandate of managing the

heritage sites of the province. Transfers to other entities will decrease in 2023/24 by 0.7 per cent to
R62.057 million, due to once-off supply of audio-visual equipment to the Guild Theatre in the 2022/23
financial year. The department will continue with the support given to the Steve Biko Foundation Library

over the MTEF period.

2023/24 due to the projected completion of the repairs to the Alfred Nzo Cultural History Museum.
