2. The DCS' allocation is expected to reach R18,3 billion in the 2012/13 financial year i.e. an annual increase of 9,7 % due largely to an additional allocation over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period for the Occupational Specific Dispensation (OSD) for correctional officials (R300 million per year) and the adjustment to compensation of employees (R583,1 million in 2010/11; R619,4 million in 2011/12 and R652,8 million in 2012/13). The allocation of additional funds for the construction of four new public private partnership (PPP) correctional facilities in Paarl, East London, Klerksdorp and Nigel at a combined cost of R1,4 billion has also contributed to the increased allocation.
