  3. Important policy decisions and strategic issues facing the department • The delivery of the policy speech and strategic plan in May 2005 followed a national election. • The Executing Authority gave the strategic direction that transport is moving back to rail. • The department also identified programmes to improve rural accessibility in order to contribute to the national and provincial goals in particular the Provincial Growth and Development Plans 2004 to 2014. • It is general knowledge that strategic performance planning in government is guided by political priorities as cited by the State President, Premier and Member of the Executive Council. The successful implementation of the strategic performance plan for the department is a collective approach led by the Executing Authority on a policy formulating level and the Accounting Officer on an administration level. The senior managers provide strategic collective leadership in policy implementation and monitoring through the different departmental programmes.

  4. Important policy decisions and strategic issues facing the department • The objectives of the departmental programmes indicate how the department intended to continue with its commitment of transforming the department in transport related matters: - • Administration: To render effective financial, human resources and management support services. To provide efficient and sustainable government transport services to user provincial departments. • Public Transport: To formulate, promote and implement integrated transport planning and policies. To provide reliable, safe, affordable and efficient public passenger multi-modal transport systems; and regulation of air traffic control and navigational services. • Traffic Management: To facilitate and promote traffic safety and traffic control.

  5. Significant events and major projects during the year • The road functions was legally transferred from the then Department of Roads and Public Works to the then Department of Transport with effect from 1 September 2004. • The Kei Rail project progressed at a less satisfactory due to the re-location of citizens from siding rail site at Zamukulungisa informal settlement (Mthatha) to a new residential area.

  6. Overview of the voted funds • During the 2005 financial year, provincial legislature appropriated an amount of R312 507 000 (2004:R309 037 000) to the department. • The R312 507 000 was revised to R302 586 000 in order to assist in funding a provincial deficit. The actual total expenditure for the financial year amounted to R 289 367 853 (2004: R 307 901 000). • The amount that was not spent from the vote is R13 218 147, which is 4 % of the Voted funds (2004:R1 136 000, which equals 0.5% of the Voted funds). The unspent amount of R13 218 147, is before the inclusion of non-voted funds and expenditure of local and foreign aid assistance. • The expenditure of R289m reflects a 96 % spending (2004:99.5%) after the final adjustment and write-offs of irrecoverable debts of R2m. The spending, before write-off, amounts to R286m, which is 95% (2004:98%) of the Voted funds.

  7. Motor Vehicle License Fees • The major source of own collected revenue arise from motor vehicle licence fees as a result of fees charged on vehicles usingpublic roads. • The fee is applicable to all annual registrations and renewals of motor vehicle licenses and trailers. While not directly earmarked for road works, the revenue generated from this process provides an important contribution to the provincial fund as own revenue.

A private company 3M (Pty) Ltd was appointed by the Department of Transport to collect these royalties on its behalf. Since February 2003 the company stopped collecting the royalties as a result of unsigned agreement. Efforts to collect monies since February 2003 are still pursued via the signing of a written agreement. It appears that the amount is recoverable because it is collectable. • The second category of licence number plates is the specific plates or numerical alpha and is sold at R500.00 per set. This revenue is collected by and payable directly to the Department of Transport. • The third category of licence number plates is the personalised plate, which is sold at R1 500.00 per set. The department also collects the revenue from this category.

  10. Capacity constraints • An organisational structure, as a result of the transfer of Roads function to the Department is in place as at March 2005. • The Department is still constrained by non-filling of critical posts which hampers the Department to deliver on its mandate as prescribed by various legislations particularly the Public Finance Management Act, Public Service Act, National Road Traffic Act and National Land Transport Transition Act.

  19. Explanation of Variance Voted Funds after virement Actual Difference % • Programme 1:Administration 83,854 81,189 2,665 3.18 • The saving against this programme is due to effective control of expenditure against communication, travel and subsistence and accommodation costs. • Programme 2: Public Transport 117,866 110,072 7,794 6.92 • The under-spending against this programme is due to the fact that the Kei Rail project progressed at a less satisfactory pace due to re-location of citizens from he rail site at Zamukulungisa informal settlement (Mthatha) to a new residential area. • Programme 3 100,866 98,106 2,750 2.74 • The saving against this programme is due to the curbing of spending especially against payments for capital assets in order to assist Provincial Treasury in avoiding the provincial deficit.

  20. R&T at a glimpse • The core business of the department is to promote an integrated transport system that promotes accessibility and mobility. Thus the planning and provision of adequate urban and rural transport facilities and infrastructure relating to land and civil aviation. • Thus creating a transport system which will provide fully integrated transport operations and infrastructure which will best meet the needs of its primary customers plus support governments’ strategies for socio-economic development whilst being environmentally sustainable. • The vote constitutes 5% of the provincial budget or R1,714 billion. • Funding for the vote comprises R885,303 million (51,7%) equitable share, R675,330 million (39,4%) conditional grants and R153,062 million (8,9%) from own revenue.

  21. R&T at a glimpse • There is an overall growth of 7 % from 2004/05 compared to the first year of the 2005/06 MTEF period. This is due to the transfer of Roads function from the Department of Public Works to the department of Transport. Consequently, substantial increases have been recorded in all economic classification as a result of the shift. • The most significant categories of expenditure are Payments for Capital Assets (35%), Goods and Services (31%) followed by Compensation of Employees (20%). • There is a decrease of 13% in Payments for Capital Assets, and 3% for Transfers and subsidies compared to 2004/05 adjusted budget. The decrease in Payments of Capital Assets is due to the department shifting funds to maintenance, which is part of Goods and Services, hence an increase of 57% for Goods and Services.

Programme 4 main driver of the department’s activities. • All programmes increased in their 2005/06 budgets compared to the 2004/05 revised allocation with Roads Infrastructure remaining constant. • The allocations to Municipalities are for contractual obligations to pay for workers taken over by the Municipalities specifically to perform roads functions. • A further 250,000 is allocated specifically for the HIV/Aids program.
