This presentation, led by Director-General James Maseko, outlines the inadequacies of the Department's budgetary allocation for the upcoming year, highlighting critical funding deficiencies that threaten essential public service programmes. Key areas of focus include administration, land provision, and the National Public Works Programme. The implications of underfunding are severe, with potential eviction from leased properties and compromised public facility maintenance. Maseko seeks the Committee's support to secure additional funding to ensure continued service delivery and meet government priorities in employment, infrastructure, and poverty alleviation.

  1. BUDGET PREVIEW PRESENTATIONTO THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SERVICES 02 APRIL 2002 JAMES MASEKO DIRECTOR-GENERAL

  2. VISION To be a leader in Africa and the developing world in the provision and management of State property and implementation of Public Works Programmes.

  3. KEY FOCAL AREAS • Issues for the next Budget Year • In general it is apparent that the Department’s budgetary allocation is far inadequate to fund the Department’s critical programmes as would be demonstrated in slides 16 - 19. • The Department has demonstrated capacity to spend its allocated budget, as evidenced by the R34million over-expenditure in the 2001/02 financial year as well as the current expenditure trends that indicate a potential over-expenditure of R40 million • The serious negative implications of under-funding are in the next forthcoming slides

  4. PROGRAMME 1: ADMINISTRATION • OConducting the overall management of • the Department • O Formulates policy issues relating to the • Department’s mandate • O Provides centralised leadership support • of the Ministry and the Senior • Management • O Transformation Programme

  5. Custodian of fixed State Assets • Design and Construction of Buildings and Support Infrastructure • Repair and Maintenance of State Facilities • Leasing • Municipal Services (Water and Electricity) • Rates and Taxes • Acquisition of Property • Property and Facilities Management PROGRAMME 2: PROVISION OF LAND AND ACCOMMODATION

  6. To implement the National Public Works Programme by: • Delivering assets, jobs and capacity building through the Community Based Public Works Programme (CBPWP) – as a basis for sustainable rural development. • Promoting construction industry growth, development and transformation for enhanced infrastructure delivery – through the Construction Industry Development Programme (CIDP) PROGRAMME 3: NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMME MISSION

  7. COMPARISON OF REQUESTED BUDGET WITH PROPOSED ALLOCATION AT PROGRAMME LEVEL

  8. COMPARISON OF REQUESTED BUDGET WITH PROPOSED ALLOCATION AT STANDARD ITEM LEVEL

  9. IMPLICATIONS • The implications of underfunding as they relate to the main cost Items are: • Leasing: The failure to honour lease commitments will result in the affected client departments being evicted from the offices they occupy. • Rates & Taxes: The municipal Services will be terminated with catastrophic results to public facilities like hospitals etc. In addition, this sphere of Government’s service delivery efforts will be greatly compromised

  10. IMPLICATIONS (continued) • Maintenance: May result to non compliance with Occupational Health and Safety Act as some buildings are already in dilapidated state. • Transfer Payments: The shortfall in the main is in CBPWP. The department will therefore be unable to provide as many public assets as it had wished to provide. A number of potential temporary jobs opportunities have therefore been lost.

  11. COURSE OF ACTION • In view of the underfunding, service delivery by the • department will be compromised. There however • exists a window of opportunity in that additional funding may still be found around October during the consideration of Adjustment Estimates Appropriation Bill. • To this end, the department appeals to the • Committee to provide whatever support it has to ensure that additional funding is received as indeed, the cut back on expenditure is not a realistic solution to the problem.

  12. CONCLUDING REMARKS • In conclusion, the department wishes to highlight the • positive impact and achievements that its programmes • continue to contribute to government’s overall objectives • and priorities in areas of: • Employment creation • Black economic empowerment • Infrastructure investment • Land reform initiatives and • Poverty alleviation. • The department requests the Committee to assist the department in its endeavours to solicit additional funding in future appropriations as the service delivery will be severely compromised due to inadequate funding.
