BUDGET COMMENTS In accordance with the expansion requirements as
indicated above an increase in the budget is required of ±R3 million per year for the next nine years.
The budget allocation for Item 15 to Item 35 has remained constant on ± R600 thousand for the past four years. Due to the expansion required the units cannot cope with the day to day running with the present budget allocation.
For the 05/06 financial year the requirement for 11 FPU will be R600, 000-00.
