. Current payments: Expenditure on current payments amounted to R1.149 billion or 90.07 per cent of the available budget of R1.276 billion. Under expenditure in this economic classification is due to spending challenges experienced in the Department due to budget structure changes that have significantly delayed the implementation of projects in different programmes, as mentioned above in programme expenditure such as the National Household Travel Survey, and Development of the National Land Transport Systems. These affected spending on the goods and services budget and compensation of employees.
