Programme 2: ICT International Affairs and Trade: Actual expenditure for the first quarter was three times the projections for the first quarter of 2011/12. Actual expenditure amounted to R14,9 million or 36, 6 per cent of the R40,9 million allocated funds as compared to projections of R4.4 million. Over-expenditure under this programme is due to membership fees to international organisations which were paid earlier than projected. It was projected that the fees would only be paid late in the second quarter. However, the invoice was received in May and hence the payment was made to avoid penalties.
