R139.801 million in 2022/23. The increase is attributable to the improvement in conditions service for

employees. Compensation of employees will decrease by 1.3 per cent to R137.923 million in 2023/24 due

million due to the increased support that will be provided to the craft industry to help the sector access
bigger markets.

of R56.749 million in 2022/23. The increase is due to a greater investment in the field of the arts through

per cent to R51.559 million due to the once-off funding to the film sector in 2022/23.
