SPENDING PROPOSALIMPLEMENTATION OF WHITE PAPER

• It is with great concern that no additional allocation has been made for the implementation of the White Paper on Corrections in the 2006/07 financial year.

• The risk the Department is facing is that the establishment and the success of the identified Centres of Excellence will be negatively affected, as the costs for the increased outputs are not accommodated in the baseline allocations to the Department.

7

SPENDING PROPOSAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

• 2006 MTEC recommended R 40 m in 2007/08 and R 70 m in 2008/09 for Information, Communication Technology solutions within the JCPS Cluster.

• Information, communication technology solutions and services will be developed and implemented within DCS in order to ensure information driven decision making within DCS, the JCPS Cluster and the Social Sector Cluster of integrated Governance.

8

SPENDING PROPOSAL FLEET MANAGEMENT

• DCS received no additional allocation for the implementation of the Fleet Management System.

• The Fleet Management System is based upon the already completed feasibility study by the Department of Transport.

• New legislation requirements and policies, increased the need for transportation of offenders and staff. As a result the need for more vehicles. Proper fleet management is needed (controllers, proper control mechanisms etc.)

• Negative impact on outputs in terms of the provision of security, needs-based corrections and developmental services to offenders.

9

NEW INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

• Building of 4 new generation type Correctional Centers with 12 000 bed capacity in progress.

• New estimated total cost for all four Correctional Centres (consultant fees, bulk earth works, main building contract) for the MTEF period is: R2, 236 billion .

• Discussion between DPW and DCS to resolve the difference between estimated amount R360 million and bid evaluation amounts.

10

Challenges: Job Creation • Additional capacity required for:

* White Paper Implementation* 7 Day Establishment* New Correctional Centres

• Steps to alleviate capacity constrains:* Medical costs reduction.* Phased in approach: 7 Day Establishment / 6 Day Establishment.* Accelerate appointment of personnel – (Personnel agency).* Reprioritization the filling of vacant posts.

11

Job Creation

• 8OOO new recruits to be employed from April 2005 to 2008. 3000 employed so far

• Policy for recruitment of interns is being finalised

increased need of compensation of personnel.

* Multi laterals between relevant Departments (DPSA, NT & DCS etc) have begun.

12

policies to create opportunities for HDI companies.

• Preference in support of socio-economic objectives:

municipal area Promotion of locally manufacture products

13
