1. Personnel numbers includes all filled posts together with those posts additional to the approved establishment
Table 25 above shows the projected increase in Compensation of employees as contributed by the
adjustment in conditions of service of staff as anticipated by agreements in the Public Service
Co-ordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC). However due to fiscal consolidation, very minimal growth will

take place around expenditure on compensation of employees as this will only be for replacements in
critical vacancies.

The increase of posts caused by new mandates such as the establishments of a new district i.e., Buffalo

City Metropolitan, the separation of Corporate service and Finance, based on Department of Public Service
and Administration generic structures and National Treasury Generic Model (CFO Model), Language Act,

Archives Act, the elevation of Communications, Risk and Security, ICT. Total restructuring of Museum
structures, establishment of the Eastern Cape Provincial Geographical Names Committee (ECPGNC) and
Eastern Cape Provincial Heritage Resources Agency (ECPHRA). New posts will also be filled in the new

libraries with a view to open them for utilisation by the public, especially school children so to contribute to
the ultimate improvement of matric results.
