[a] The UISP Grant did not exist during the said financial years. It was only in the 2021/22 financial year that the new dedicated Informal Settlement Upgrade Partnership Grant was introduced.
[b] [i][ii][gg][hh] In the 2021/22 financial year R457, 429,00 was allocated and 452,232,751 was spent. This resulted in a R5,196,248 under-expenditure [1%]. The main reason for the under-expenditure was delays in the procurement processes on the Mossel Bay NUSP, Drakenstein Schoongezicht and Stellenbosch Zone O upgrade projects.
