SPENDING PROPOSALIMPLEMENTATION OF WHITE PAPER

• It is with great concern that no additional
  allocation has been made for the implementation
  of the White Paper on Corrections in the 2006/07
  financial year.
• The risk the Department is facing is that the
  establishment and the success of the identified
  Centres of Excellence will be negatively
  affected, as the costs for the increased outputs
  are not accommodated in the baseline allocations
  to the Department.

7
SPENDING PROPOSAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

• 2006 MTEC recommended R 40 m in 2007/08 and R 70
  m in 2008/09 for Information, Communication
  Technology solutions within the JCPS Cluster.
• Information, communication technology solutions
  and services will be developed and implemented
  within DCS in order to ensure information driven
  decision making within DCS, the JCPS Cluster and
  the Social Sector Cluster of integrated
  Governance.

8
SPENDING PROPOSAL FLEET MANAGEMENT

• DCS received no additional allocation for the
  implementation of the Fleet Management System.
• The Fleet Management System is based upon the
  already completed feasibility study by the
  Department of Transport.
• New legislation requirements and policies,
  increased the need for transportation of
  offenders and staff. As a result the need for
  more vehicles. Proper fleet management is needed
  (controllers, proper control mechanisms etc.)
• Negative impact on outputs in terms of the
  provision of security, needs-based corrections
  and developmental services to offenders.

9
NEW INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

• Building of 4 new generation type Correctional
  Centers with 12 000 bed capacity in progress.

  period is R2, 236 billion .
• Discussion between DPW and DCS to resolve the
  difference between estimated amount R360 million
  and bid evaluation amounts.
