The Department
of Education was by far the highest spending Department. They spent 47.43% of
their total budget during the first quarter. The Department of Education spent
12.16% of its current budget, 48.49% of its transfer budget and 26.88% of its
capital budget during the first 3 months of the financial year. Even though the
department spent almost half of its budget during the first 3 months it does
not appear that they will overspend their budget based on the cashflow
projections provided to National Treasury. Of the top 5 spending Departments, 2
spent more than the cash flow projections 2006/07 provided by National
Treasury. They are the Departments of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and
Social Development. The biggest concern is the Department of Social
Development, which spent R3.3 billion more than they planned to spend during
the first quarter.
