Payments for Capital Asset (CAPEX) was allocated an amount of R3.0 billion against which R2.9 billion or 99 per cent had been spent. The reported under expenditure was due to the slow spending on Buildings and Other Fixed Structures because of the non performing contractors and changes in the design and scope of the project by the Department of Public Works. The Department had spent only 71.5 per cent of the R669.9 million funding allocation earmarked for the construction of Police Stations. This was due to delays in the clearance of sites and delays in the awarding of contracts to the contractors to start building police stations.
