The variances are explained as follows Programme 1 spent R268.3 million of the projected expenditure of R407.7 million. The low spending is mainly attributable to the delay in the implementation of property management strategy due to delays experienced with the bid evaluation committees , delay in the delivery of ICT equipment as well as delay in the processing of ICT services (bandwidth) invoices
