45. EXPLANATIONS TO THE UNDER SPENDING • Current Budget: Compensation of Employees The under spending is due to additional funds reprioritized for the filling of vacant posts. Apart from the normal staff attrition, the department had commenced with the high drive of the recruitment process, however, the lag period between the interviews, appointment letters and the assumption of duties usually averages a two month period. • Goods & Services The savings under goods and services relates to commitments under the energy efficiency programme with the IDT. Roll over has been requested. Out of the R75 million transferred in February, R16,490 million was spent as the 31st March. An amount of R40,9 million was requested for roll over. • Measures put in place The department has already put in please aggressive measures of filling all the vacant posts. All the 641 vacant funded posts have been advertised. Almost 522 interview have taken place and the process of filling is proceeding exceptionally well.

46. EXPLANATIONS TO THE UNDER SPENDING • Capital and Infrastructure: • The under spending of R120 million relates to funds committed through the IDT as an implementation agent for the transformation of mud schools.
