4 (R6,493k) The project ran into unexpected
geological problems. The top layer of soil had to
be removed (3-4m) and replaced by a more
geologically stable substance. This resulted in
the project being delayed by some time. An amount
of R3,734,000 was approved as a rollover to
2004/2005 2004/2005 (R3,733k) There were
delays in the awarding of the construction
tender. The contract to construct the facility
was awarded to Kopanya Joint Venture in September
2004. Problems were then experienced in securing
guarantees for the contract. These were
eventually secured and construction commenced in
the last quarter of 2004/2005. Rollover of the
unspent amount of R3,733,000 was requested and
approved.

• Reasons for projected shortfall
• The projected shortfall at the end of the project
  of R3,956,000 is as a result of an amount of
  R10,771,000 having been suspended from the
  Department's 2004/2005 budget as per an Executive
  Council Resolution.
• R6,200,000 of the suspended amount was from the
  R10,000,000 allocated to the Mayibuye
  Multi-Purpose Centre. From the main
  appropriation R3,800,000 was available.
• With the approved rollover of R3,734,00 from
  2003/2004 the final appropriation for 2004/2005
  was R7,534,000. A shortfall of R2,466,000.
• The additional shortfall of R1,490,000 is
  escalation costs and geological stabilisation of
  site.

• The underspending of R148,000 for 2005/2006 is
  due to the following reasons
• Resignations of coordinators (due to permanent
  employment).
• Delays in appointment of some coordinators.
• Savings on some of the budgeted items such as
  training of coordinators, holiday programmes and
  other MPP games.

• Agreements with local municipalities remain a
  challenge.
• Lack of human resource to adequately implement
  the programme (Departmental).
• Insufficient funding to extend the programme to
  all municipalities and each and every town in the
  province.
• Programme sustainable only on the basis of
  conditional grant.
