Analysis reprioritisation for current financial year Different sub-programmes: (R 375 million) –Funds have been identified against various programmes which will not be spent during the 2012/13 financial year. –This is due to the current capacity problems faced by the Department as well as projects not spending as expected –It is in the best interest of the department to reprioritise funding to built capacity and resources to effectively implement the Turn around strategy Home Affairs (R 110 million ring-fenced) –Capital Infrastructure projects were not identified and agreed to in time to spend funds before the end of the financial year –This amount is ring-fenced and cannot be reprioritised, but will be given back to National Treasury
