The provincial education amount of R2.8bn takes into account some of the costs of repairing schools vandalised during lockdown, providing chemical toilets for some schools that didn't have adequate facilities, water provision, PPEs and additional cleaners.
"The amount identified through internal reprioritisation is R1.2bn and the amount to be allocated to the department from the R6.2bn provincial reprioritisation is R1bn. The balance of the costs will be funded through further internal reprioritisation,” Pillay explained. The costs in social development for providing care to the homeless during lockdown and providing food parcels to destitute families have been calculated at R25.7m and R239.1m, respectively.
