GDID ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25

Linking performance with budgets In the 2024/2025 financial year, the Department recorded total actual expenditure of R513,317 million against a final appropriation of R513,317 million, resulting in 100% spent. This contrasts with the 2023/2024 financial year, where the Department recorded actual expenditure of R530.334 million against a final appropriation of R531.820 million , resulting in an under-expenditure of R1.486 million. Sub-programme: MEC Office • 2024/2025: Appropriation – R6.830 million; Actual – R7.246 million; Over-expenditure – R416 million • 2023/2024: Appropriation – R13.726 million; Actual – R13.726 million; No variance The core administrative and oversight functions of the MEC Office were maintained, and the sub-programme supported decision-making and accountability processes throughout the year. In contrast, the 2023/2024 financial year reflected full utilisation of the allocated budget, allowing for the full execution of planned activities. Sub-programme: Corporate Support • 2024/2025: Appropriation – R500.133 million; Actual – R499.716 million; Under-expenditure – R417 thousands • 2023/2024: Appropriation – R511.883 million; Actual – R510.397 million; Under-expenditure – R1.486 million The overspending was mainly driven by increased operational costs, including ICT system upgrades, fleet services, and support services required across the Department. Additionally, legal costs related to court orders continued to escalate, placing further pressure on the already constrained Goods and Services budget. These resources played a critical role in supporting the internal functioning of the Department, ensuring continuity of services, and addressing compliance related demands, thereby contributing to a more responsive and accountable service delivery environment. The financial performance is summarised below at the sub-programme level.
