  • Minister of Justice and Correctional Services answer

    Approximately 2 645 cases amounting to R13 million was reported as fruitless and wasteful expenditure in the 2017/18 financial year. The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has resolved 2 110 cases to the value of R11.1 million in that some of the amounts were recovered whilst in other cases it was determined after an investigation that it was not due to the fault of the official, for example a change in the programme outside the control of the official.

    WHY NOT:

    (a)The outstanding amount of R1.9 million that is currently the balance on the Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure Register for all years includes storage fees for the Mpumalanga High Court Building that should be resolved during this financial year; and

    (b) No-show penalties valued at R845 000.00 that must still be resolved.

    The National Prosecuting Authority has also reported fruitless expenditure cases in the following categories during 2017/18:
