FOREWORD BY THE MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONSHON. DINA PULE, MP

It is an honour to have an opportunity to serve the people of the Republic of South Africa for the second time in the Department of Communications. The scale of the challenge to efciently deliver communication services to each citizen, is huge, but as the Department, we are committed to moving with speed to achieve a better life for everyone through efcient use of technology. This spirit was abundant at the Department’s strategic planning session.The Department is entrusted with two main leadership roles, as we chart the course towards sustainable development. On the one hand, we must help ensure that Government maximizes its use of ICTs to improve the delivery of services to its citizens. On the other, we must help the ICT

sector full its role as one of the primary enablers of economic growth and job creation.The two roles require us to assist the citizens and the private sector of South Africa to take full advantage of the opportunities provided by ICTs to interact with Government, with each other and with business partners.If we succeed, we will unlock this country’s enormous potential. Achieving that success will require us to work together like never before. Making South Africa’s democracy real, is a great task. We will not afford ourselves a chance to pause to celebrate our smaller achievements. We have to move forward to overcome the next obstacle through the power of our innovative thinking.Like many other developing countries, South Africa’s primary challenge is the inequitable distribution of resources, a phenomenon that leads to social ills. The problems in our schooling sector, health sector and in the provision of services such as water and sanitation, are legacies of the past and redressing this imbalance should inform everything we do. At the same time as we reverse the injustices of the past, we have to embrace the challenges thrust upon us by today’s modern, global, and very competitive economy. This new economy is driven by ICTs, and this again emphasises the strategic role that the Department has to play.

Transforming public service deliveryOne of the key roles that ICTs in general and the Department in particular, can play is the transformation of public service delivery. The time has come to ensure that we achieve the Single Public Service vision by promoting inter-operability between the

three spheres of Government: to leverage economies of scale, improve the quality of the lives of our people, and help reduce unnecessary duplication. Through using ICTs more effectively, we will enable people to access all Government services they need from one service centre. In this way, we will help the country push back the frontiers of poverty, create wealth, and promote equity and social justice.The Single Public Service principle will help Government to provide services to the citizens: online, anywhere, any time. This is in line with the Batho Pele (People First) philosophy. The Department must play a leadership part in dening the role that ICT can play in improving service delivery. We must also work with colleagues in other departments to integrate service delivery across all spheres of Government.Our quest to develop an enabling environment for the speedy and convenient delivery of public services, is hampered by the glaring economic and infrastructure disparities that are still prevalent in our country. We have fortied our ability to address these disparities through plans and strategies for rural development, as well as through a comprehensive model for engagement with the other spheres of Government.The clever use of ICTs in the public sector will have a ripple effect, not only on the economy, but also on improving business condence in our country. By demonstrating that we understand how to use ICTs effectively, and by building the necessary infrastructure, we will play an important role in attracting much needed foreign direct investment.

Facilitating the growth of the ICT sectorMaking better use of ICT in the public sector will in part depend on the condition of the local ICT sector. Public-private partnerships remain a key strategy in our

drive to improve public access to ICTs and through them to, government services. Currently, South Africa’s ICT industry is the twentieth-largest in the world, accounting for 0.5% of worldwide ICT revenue. It is noted for its vibrancy and the high quality of its work, so we have the benet of a very viable and competent partner. One issue that needs to be dealt with properly is the better use of resources like radio spectrum and broadband. The Department will focus on an informed and progressive strategy that will help transform the ICT sector, attract investment, and create jobs. The Department grappled with these challenges during the strategic planning process, and action steps to achieve these goals have been outlined in this document. For the ICT industry to play its part in helping the country tackle its various challenges successfully, we need to overcome the current skills shortage. We therefore need to develop better ways of ensuring that the supply of trained people matches industry demand. In particular, we must continue to ensure that the ICT industry responds to the high unemployment in the country. Our e-skills initiative is one such intervention, and we must engage with the industry to use its training resources to the best effect.Experience has taught us that the ICT industry moves fast. Our training initiatives must, therefore, be exible enough to respond to these changes.

The development of the Global Information Society is characterised by evolving policy and regulation, ever changing technologies and unpredictable market dynamics. These conditions call for Information Communications Technologies players, Government, operators, policy makers and regulators to constantly adapt in order to ensure that they meet the challenges that ICT revolution throws at us.

There is no doubt that the most difcult part of any revolution is adapting to, and living with the changes. Successfully doing so in the ongoing global ICT revolution can mean the difference between whether organisations continue to be competitive and ultimately operational, as well as whether we achieve our developmental goals or not.

As the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) approaches, we are scaling up efforts to improve the delivery of services that will have a signicant impact on the lives of citizens. ICTs play a huge role in public service delivery. In the recent past we have seen communities embarking on what is commonly called ‘service delivery protests’ basically calling on Government to accelerate delivery of basic services.

The DoC is perfectly positioned to provide solutions to how Government can interact and communicate with citizens seamlessly, both virtually and physically. At the beginning of this term when we assumed ofce we said “working together we can achieve more”. We are continuing to establish partnerships with various stakeholders in the sector, big and small, corporate and non-governmental in our quest to provide quality services to our people. We are convinced that Government can never complete the mountainous effort of transforming our society to a true non-racial; non-sexist and democratic society, alone.

Our country still suffers from glaringly inequitable levels of access to all sorts of resources, among them health, education, nance and ICTs. As a developing state, we have a responsibility to ensure that our people have access to basic needs including ICTs especially for those living in rural and under-serviced communities. We invite the private sector to work with Government in rolling out info – structures to poor, rural and under-serviced areas.

Through Smart Phones we have increased our internet penetration to approximately 30%; and ndings from the Mobility 2011 research project conducted by World Wide Worx indicate that 44% of urban cell phone users now use cell phone banking as compared to 27% during the previous year. In smaller centres and towns, 27% now use cell phone banking, suggesting that rural areas lag behind urban users by about a year in take-up of these services. In

total, 30% of South Africans in urban and rural areas aged sixteen and above now use cell phone banking.

Greater access to connectivity will play a signi cant role in uplifting the most productive sector of our population, the youth. The ICT sector is also a crucial sector as it provides the info-structures that make our society functional.

This Strategic Plan represents our medium to long-term road map as we strive towards the realization of our goal of creating a better life for all our people. Working together we certainly can do more.

This Strategic Plan is a roadmap on how the Department will achieve its objectives thereby contributing to the Government’s medium-term strategic framework. The strategic plan has to respond to the twelve Government outcomes. Essentially the plan must reect the role of information and communications technologies in building a knowledge-based economy.

In order to ensure that the Department is properly aligned with the medium-term strategic framework, the Department had to look at how it is currently organized. In this regard we have repositioned the Department to appropriately respond to the needs of a knowledge-based economy, eliminate duplication of functions within branches and ensure that the Department is more efcient in the provision of products and services. Accordingly, a new structure

for the Department has been developed and concurred by the Department of Public Service and Administration for implementation. We have also set ourselves clear agship projects of high impact. These include achieving and increasing the broadband penetration, implementing the broadcasting digital migration programme for the country, rural development initiatives, corporatization of the Postbank and job creation.

With regards to policy initiatives, we have prioritised certain key policy initiatives, the major one being conducting a comprehensive policy review of the telecommunications, postal, broadcasting and information technology policies. It is envisaged that this process will lead towards the development of an Integrated National ICT Policy Framework for South Africa.

Another priority is the incorporation of Postbank. A particular focus will be realizing the policy intentions of the Act, and we will be working closely with the South African Reserve Bank, South African Post Ofce and the National Treasury to achieve this objective. We will be introducing important legislation into Parliament during this year, namely the Electronic Communications Amendment Bill, which we hope to have enacted during the 2013/2014 nancial year. The Electronic Communications Act is the most important piece of legislation regulating the ICT sector, and this technical amendment is vital in ensuring the sector’s continued dynamism.

We should move with the necessary speed to develop and implement measures in support of the National Broadband Policy objectives. There will be a number of initiatives we will be undertaking, i.e.

development of a broadband master plan which will include a review of the policy, development of broadband strategy, broadband implementation plan and business case, which will include a funding model and also ensure that the roles and responsibilities of various key role players are clearly dened and stakeholder engagement is implemented through the Broadband Intergovernmental Committee. The broadband rollout should aim to address deployment, awareness, applications and content development.

The National Growth Path and the Industrial Policy Action Plan call for measures to address the input costs in a productive economy. Accordingly the Department has prioritized the need to address the high cost of telephony in SA particularly in the voice and data markets.

In support of the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme, the Department will accelerate the implementation of the Rural Development Strategy by ensuring that the pilots are extended to the identied sites. The implementation of this strategy augurs well for our vision to ensure that all South Africans irrespective of their location, are able to use ICTs.

The e-skills initiative aims to address the shortage of critical skills in the ICT sector. During this nancial year, several pilots are planned. We are excited by the huge potential that this programme offers us in our quest to close the skills gap in the sector.

ICTs remain at the core of the debate in the international arena. In this regard we will continue to work with our partners to exert our inuence on the institution of global governance on telecommunications, broadcasting and postal activities, taking into account the needs of the SADC region and the African continent as a whole.

The DoC has an extremely busy year ahead, of which this is only a partial summary. I would like to conclude by emphasising the key role that a strong support function will play in enabling us to meet our ambitious goals, and full the DoC’s mandate to support economic growth and social upliftment. It is thus vital that our recruitment and training should take into account the growing needs of the various branches, especially the core functions, as they gear up to meet their targets.

5. Overview of the South African ICT market

The ICT sector continues to grow as overall demand for services in the sector increases. A 5.5% overall growth was recorded over the period 2010/2011, with total Telecommunications services estimated at R144 billion. This growth in the revenue size of the ICT sector has resulted in its share of GDP being maintained at an average 7% of GDP, which itself grew by 11% in nominal terms (about 3% in real terms). When comparing South Africa to other BRICS countries, South Africa has a 0.4 % of Telecomms investment as a percentage of GDP. This is the same as Russia but lower than all other BRICS countries (Brazil: 0.5%, China: 1%, India: 5.1%). This low telecomms investment will be addressed in the comprehensive ICT Policy Review through interventions aimed at increasing investment in the ICT Sector.

South Africa has a low penetration of fixed lines in households. While this may not be a major inhibitor of access to basic voice services (with the majority of the population using mobile services for this), it is an inhibitor for expanded fixed line broadband deployment. DSL operates over fixed telephone lines and tends to be the most popular wireline broadband technology in many countries. Its potential is affected by the availability of fixed telephone lines, whether telephone exchanges have been equipped to provide DSL and how far consumers are from the exchange. The availability of fixed telephone lines is therefore a critical prerequisite for the provision of DSL service. Given the low fixed line penetration in South Africa, DSL is not a viable option for the provision of broadband services therefore the focus in the National Broadband Master plan will be on wireless technologies amongst others.

In the past year household computer penetration has only grown from 19% to 20%. This penetration is predominantly in the metropolitan areas where over one third of households have access to a PC, while only around 5% of rural households do. This is a serious barrier to good quality internet access and a great contributor to the ‘digital divide’. To address this concern the Department is prioritising several interventions including increasing universal service

and access to ICTs and increasing uptake and usage of ICTs. Furthermore, key focus will be given to rural connectivity prioritizing 61 identified rural sites across the country.

Several international studies have shown a positive and strong correlation between increases in broadband penetration and GDP. For example, the World Bank in 2009 concluded that a 10% increase in basic broadband penetration enlarged GDP growth by 1.38% in low- and middle-income countries. Over all the mobile broadband market has exploded past the fixed broadband. The biggest innovation has been the introduction of uncapped internet products. Internet traffic is expected to surge sevenfold by 2015, primarily driven by growth in mobile broadband. Countries that have progressed in terms of adopting ICT services such as broadband, have reported economic gains in terms of improved productivity of firms, which in turns encourages investments and, in some cases, growth in employment. The Department, aims to increase broadband penetration through specific interventions in the Broadband Master Plan including reducing the cost of broadband in order to stimulate uptake and usage.

A South Africa industry forecast by Oxford Economics shows that manufacturing output growth is forecast to be higher than GDP over the next decade, where up until 2020, manufacturing output is expected to grow on average by 4.3% per year. However, it is indicated that the three fastest growing sectors in manufacturing over the next decade will be motor vehicle bodies & parts, electric fittings and machine tools. Of the Top 10 fastest growing industries in South Africa, telecommunications equipment ranked 8th last year but a forecast for the next 5 years does not feature the ICT industry at all. To address this concern, the DoC has prioritised the development of an ICT Industry development strategy. Furthermore the comprehensive ICT Policy review, will pay specific focus on ICT Manufacturing and the policy implications in this regard.

Strategic Management Framework

The Department of Communications has adopted an integrated Strategic Management Framework which is based on Figure A above.

• Environmental Scanning provides the input required to develop an informed strategic plan taking into consideration all internal and external factors.

• A comprehensive Strategic Plan informs the budgeting process regarding the required budget as well as the allocation of this budget against Branch Business Plans.

• Implementation through the Annual Performance Plan ensures the achievement of set objectives and targets. In order to ensure implementation and periodic reporting of performance, the Annual Performance Plan unpacks the year one target into quarterly targets which are implemented and monitored on a quarterly basis. Furthermore, the Annual Performance Plan informs the development of Programme and Project plans as well as Operational plans which unpacks quarterly targets into actions steps and deliverables within the quarters. This detailed level of planning not only allows for proactive and continuous monitoring and evaluation but also informs the contents of the individual performance agreements thus ensuring alignment between all levels of planning.

• Monitoring and evaluation of the implementation provides information on progress or lack thereof and related challenges hindering performance, which directly feeds into the next planning cycle.

Strategic Planning

The Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan was developed through extensive consultation taking into consideration both the internal and external environments within which DoC operates. The plan was informed by, among others, the commitments made in the Minister’s Performance Agreement and associated Delivery Agreements, the Government’s Outcomes Approach as a whole, key ministerial priorities as well as an ICT sector analysis.

Monitoring and Evaluation

In accordance with prescripts stipulating that the Accounting Officer must established procedure for quarterly reporting to the Minister to facilitate effective performance monitoring, evaluation and corrective action, the Department of Communications has implemented a formal and integrated reporting framework with emphasis on quarterly progress reporting against the quarterly targets committed to in the Annual Performance Plan (APP). Furthermore, monitoring is also done against implementation of Programme and Project Plans as well as Operational Plans which further unpack quarterly targets into action steps and deliverables. This ensures a pro-active approach to the monitoring and evaluation process thus ensuring adherence to set targets and immediate mitigation of challenges affecting performance.

Lastly, Performance reports are consolidated to inform the development of the Annual Report which provides an overall indication of the Departments progress towards achieving the objectives and targets as set out in its Strategic Plan.

The Department of Communications has adopted an integrated Strategic Management Framework which is based on Figure A above.

This programme is currently under review and is likely to change during the 2012 MTEF process. Programme 6 currently consists of the following sub-programmes:

• Planning, Coordination and Evaluation ensures that South Africa has pro-active and progressive national plans on the information society and development, with sectoral, provincial and local government inputs. This entails assessing the impact of ICT programmes and projects.

• Information Society and Development Cluster supports the effective and efficient functioning of the information society as well as the development of institutional mechanisms, such as the inter-ministerial committee on information society and development, intergovernmental relations forum, the forum of South African directors-general for information society and development, and the intergovernmental relations forum technical committee such as Information Society

and Development Multi-stakeholder Forum and ICT Indaba.

• e-Applications facilitates the implementation of information society related projects and programmes to attain the sectoral targets of the information society and development plan, and maximises the benefits of the information society for the development of women, children, youth, people with disabilities and poor communities.

• Presidential National Commission Operations provides responsive, timely and comprehensive strategic and administrative support that strengthens the Presidential National Commission on information society and development as a knowledge-driven organisation.

11. Resource considerationsExpenditure drastically decreased from R2.3 billion in 2008/09 to R1.4 billion in 2010/11, at an average annual rate of 16%. This was due to the non-transfer of R199.9 million to Sentech for the digitisation and R180 million to Universal Services and Access Fund owing to the delay by the department in finalising the DTT standards. A saving of R150 million was realised in 2010/11 regarding the implementation of the ICT access network for the 2010 FIFA World Cup as this project was completed for R160.4 million for goods and services.

Over the medium-term, expenditure is expected to decrease at an average annual rate of 6.6 per cent, from R2 billion in 2011/12 to R1.9 billion in 2014/15, due to South African Post Office not receiving subsidy from the Department anymore, funding for Universal Service Obligations (USO) came to an end. The baseline efficiency savings made by the Department of R78 million in 2012/13, R182.3 million 2013/14 and R120.2 million in 2014/15, mostly caused by reductions in the Broadband ICT- universal access allocations, and the cancellation of the South African Post Office subsidy allocation.

Compensation of employees

Expenditure increased drastically from R108 million in 2008/09 to R173.2 million in 2011/12 at annual rate of 16.5% due to the organisational restructuring. Over the medium term, expenditure is expected to increase slightly from R182.9 million to R203.7 million at annual rate of 5.6 per cent. The organisational structure is expected to increase to 439 over the MTEF due to the revision of the organisational structure as approved by the Department of Public Service and Administration.

Goods and services

Expenditure decreased from R269.3 million in 2008/09 to R175.6 million in 2010/11 owing to the withholding of projects as well as instability in the Department’s internal control resulting in the slow spending of allocated funds. In 2011/12 expenditure increased drastically to R415.5 million owing to the additional allocation of R100 million for Broadband ICT-universal access. Regarding the MTEF the expenditure is expected to increase marginally from R292.6 to R321.1 owing to the shifting of Broadband allocations, to payments of capital assets, as the funding is for the procurement of infrastructure.

Transfers and subsidies

Spending in this category declined from R1.9 billion to R1.1 billion as allocations for the development of ICT infrastructure for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, came to an end. In the 2011/12 expenditure

increased to R1.4 billion as a result of the additional fund of R109.9 million received through the adjustment estimates (rollover). Regarding the MTEF, expenditure is expected to remain constant on R1.1 billion.

Payment of capital assets

Expenditure decreased from R12.8 million in 2008/09 to R2.4 million in 2010/11 owing to budget cuts as well as reprioritisation. The MTEF expenditure is expected to increase drastically from R104.9 million to R210.9 million owing to the allocation for Broadband ICT-universal access and for procuring broadband infrastructure for underserviced/rural areas in South Africa.

Implications of skills management in the ICT sector

The lack of capacity resulting from the shortage of scarce and critical skills such as ICT legal practitioners and ICT Engineers is a huge challenge. Owing to the competition in the corporate market between private and public sector, it is a challenge for the Department to attract and retain the relevant scarce and critical skills. However the E-Skills initiative has been initiated within the Department to ensure graduate readiness to function effectively in the ICT sector.

Potential impact of changes on the Department

The process of organisational structural review and re-alignment will establish new, effective channels of communication with all stakeholders.

Implications for supply and demand

The previous organisational structure was characterised by the following challenges and disadvantages:-

• Silo approach within the departmental business units;

• Duplication and fragmentation of functions in various business units;

• Overlapping and competing of roles and functions within certain business units;

• Staff additional to the establishment;

• Poor control systems;

• Lack of synergy in the organisational structure; and

• Lack of alignment between the organisational structure and the organisational strategy with specific reference to key priorities such as broadband, e-Skills, DTT, Cyber-security.

21

Page 24: Department of Communications Strategic Plan 2012 - 2017 ... · Mission 11 Legislative and other mandates 11 ... twentieth-largest in the world, accounting for 0.5% of worldwide ICT

The proposed organisational structure is aimed at supporting the organisational strategy and aligning key focus areas, including reporting, clear accountability/responsibility, quality assurance, leadership support and performance management. The structure will optimise and synchronise execution of business activities, ensure that related functions, processes and activities which attempt to achieve the same results, are grouped together in the different business units. The structure will be goal-oriented.

12. Risk managementRisk management is a systematic process to identify, evaluate and address risks on a continuous basis before such risks can impact negatively on the Department’s service delivery capacity. A key outcome of the risk identification and assessment process includes a detailed list of all key risks including those that require treatment as

determined by the overall level of the risk against the Department’s risk appetites and tolerance levels. The purpose of responding and treating risks is to minimize or eliminate the potential impact the risk may pose to the achievement of the Department’s strategic objectives as tabled in this document. In instances where the management of risk is not within the control of the Department, the response strategies consider measures such as forward planning and lobbing. Though the Department has controls in place to mitigate its exposure to key risks, it has been challenged by capacity constraints during the past two years (2010-2012) and should this continue into the future (potential unwanted outcome), the Department may not be able to properly implement and monitor controls to reduce the likelihood of these key risks. The Department has therefore identified the following key risks for which the Department is currently implementing and monitoring mitigation strategies.

KEY/SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND MITIGATION STRATEGY

1. Crosscutting Risks

RISK MITIGATION STRATEGY

Inadequate financial resources to achieve the Department’s strategic objectives and mandate.

• Seek additional sources of funding especially for critical projects of the Department

• Engage with National Treasury for additional funding (e.g. ICT Infrastructure Fund)

• Leverage on the Jobs fund and private sector initiatives and resources.

Human Resources (HR) skills shortage to achieve the Department’s strategic objectives and mandate

• Conduct a comprehensive skills audit to evaluate and consider necessary skills shortage, prioritise and fill critical posts, and develop and maintain a plan to retain the required level of skills and expertise

• Embark on formalised project management and other technical skills training

• Prioritise recruitment in critical areas with competent personnel

Mandate overlap in different spheres of Government

• Resolve mandates overlap through active participation in the establishment/enhancement of legislative framework(s)

• Thorough stakeholder engagements to agree on responsibilities and collaborations, deadlines, etc, prior to initiation of projects to achieve mandates

22

Page 25: Department of Communications Strategic Plan 2012 - 2017 ... · Mission 11 Legislative and other mandates 11 ... twentieth-largest in the world, accounting for 0.5% of worldwide ICT

1. Project/programme specific risks

Project/Programme RISK MITIGATION STRATEGY

Digital migration Inability to meet national and international expectations on digital migration such as coverage, switch on and switch off deadlines, technical and manufacturing specifications and standards, competition and technological advancements, etc.

• Consider using the public-private partnership to leverage private sector initiatives and resources

• Establish project technical advisors to provide necessary counsel regarding standards, new and competitive developments and innovations, etc.

• Evaluate manufacturing processes/phases which should be approved by the relevant regulatory authorities such as the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), etc.

Low uptake of the DTT services and STBs which could impact on switch-off

• Embark on vigorous awareness campaigns in collaboration with stakeholders and service providers

• Consider the need to run parallel systems, i.e. analogue and digital simultaneously

Lack of analytical tools to obtain critical data for decision making, e.g. data on population statistics to properly decide on persons qualifying for subsidised STBs, financial modelling for realistic project costing, etc.

• Source analytical tools and conduct research to obtain relevant data to assist in the decision making process of the project such as population statistics with information on household income, households with existing televisions, etc.

• Appoint financial experts to provide project costing and other financial advice throughout the project

1.2 Relating expenditure trends to strategic outcome oriented goals

The spending focus over the medium term will be on expanding access to broadband by implementing the national broadband strategy, enhancing access to digital television for poor households through the provision of a subsidy scheme for se-top-boxes and accelerating access to ICT by coordinating the participation of the South African Government in specialised ICT agencies.

Expenditure decreased from R2.3 billion in 2008/09 to R2 billion in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 4.9 per cent, owing to reduced expenditure in the ICT Policy Development and ICT Enterprise Development programmes. Spending in the ICT Policy Development programme declined as a result of the delays in finalising the digital terrestrial television standards and completing the Telkom ICT access network, while spending in the ICT Enterprise Development programme declined as allocations transferred to entities for the development of ICT infrastructure for the 2010 FIFA World Cup came to an end.

2.4 Performance and expenditure trendsExpenditure increased marginally from R147.4 million in 2008/09 to R149.7 million in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 0.5 %, owing to the deferment of certain projects in 2009/10 in anticipation of the completion of the organisational review undertaken by the Department. Over the medium-term, expenditure is expected to increase to R169.3 million, at an average annual rate of 4.2 %. This growth is attributed to the provision for inflation related increases across all sub-programmes.

3.4 Performance and expenditure trendsSpending focus over the medium-term is expected to be on the payment of membership fees to international organisations, hosting of international conferences and international travelling.

Expenditure decreased from R53.5 million in 2008/09 to R41.4 million in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 8.2 %. The significant decrease was due to the expenses related to hosting the world telecommunication standardisation assembly which was held in October 2008. Over the medium-term, expenditure is expected to decrease to R39.8 million, at an average annual rate of 1.3 %, owing to expenditure cuts effected on goods and services in the International Affairs and ICT Trade/Partnership sub-programmes. These cuts are largely derived from budgets for travel and subsistence, and venues and facilities.

4.5. Performance and expenditure trends

The spending focus over the medium-term will be on migration from analogue broadcasting to digital broadcasting, interventions aimed at reducing the cost to communicate, and the review of telecommunications, broadcasting, electronic communications and transactions and postal policies and legislation.

Expenditure increased from R71.5 million in 2008/09 to R95.7 million in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 10.2 %, owing to allocations for improved conditions of service and additional personnel. Between 2008/09 and 2011/12, the ICT Policy Development sub-programme increased from R39.8 million to R52.4 million, at an average annual rate of 9.6 %, owing to the use of consultants to support the department in the policy and legislation-making process. Over the medium-term, total expenditure is expected to decrease marginally to R94.9 million, at an average annual rate of 0.3 % owing to saving initiatives regarding the use of business consultants, travel, and subsistence, and hiring of external venues and facilities.

5.4 Performance and expenditure trendsExpenditure decreased from R1.9 billion in 2008/09 to R1.4 billion in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 10 % owing to a decrease in the transfer to the South African Broadcasting Corporation and the conclusion of the transfer payments to Telkom and Sentech for the 2010 FIFA World Cup ICT infrastructure. Between 2008/09 and 2011/12, significant funding was made available for digitisation to meet Government’s target of switching off of the analogue signal in December 2013.

Over this period, R649.9 million was transferred to Sentech for digital migration, and an additional R220 million was allocated for infrastructure modernisation for the entity to run the analogue and digital transmission in parallel during the dual illumination period. Additionally, R962.7 million was transferred to the South African Broadcasting Corporation to implement its infrastructure programme and IT plan.

Between 2011/12 and 2014/15, total expenditure is expected to decrease to R1.2 billion, at an average annual rate of 5.7 %, as Sentech completes the digital migration process, and transfers to the South African Post Office to meet Universal Service Obligations are terminated. Transfers to Departmental Agencies and accounts are expected to increase from R690.9 million in 2011/12 to R774.9 million in 2014/15, at an average annual rate of 3.9 %, and will be used to strengthen the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa’s oversight and regulatory function and for the Universal Service and Access Fund to subsidise set-top-boxes for digital migration.

6.4 Performance and expenditure trendsThe spending focus over the medium-term will be on infrastructure for broadband networks to achieve universal access.

Expenditure increased substantially from R94.8 million in 2008/09 to R282 million in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 43.8 %, mainly owing to an increase in the allocation to the 112 Emergency Call Centre sub-programme in 2011/12 and for broadband infrastructure development to extend access. Over the medium-term, total expenditure is expected to increase to R412 million, at an average annual rate of 13.5 %, driven mainly by increased allocations to consultants for infrastructure planning to bring the 112 Emergency Call Centre into operation. As a result, the Department has shifted R80 million in 2010/11, R86.3 million in 2011/12 and R91.8 million in 2012/13 from the ICT Policy Development programme to the 112 Emergency Call Centre sub-programme.

7.4 Performance and expenditure trendsThe spending focus over the medium term will be on developing an inclusive information society in which Information and Communications Technology tools are key drivers of economic and societal development.

Expenditure decreased from R42.9 million in 2008/09 to R34.7 million in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 6.9 percent, mainly owing to difficulties within the procurement process that resulted in delays in the implementation of projects. As a result, ancillary costs such as training and development decreased from R7 million in 2008/09 to R3.1 million in 2011/12 and spending on consultants decreased from R9.6 million in 2008/09 to R2.6 million in 2011/12.
