1.3 REASONS FOR UNDER SPENDING AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES ON ROLL OVER
The under spending of R4,785,000 is mainly as a result of outstanding deliveries for food supplements from Nestle. The service provider has not been able to meet the demands on food supplements. Weekly expenditure monitoring sessions are conducted to ensure that services are delivered as planned to avoid under expenditure on these grants.
