The numbers given here are from the Vulindlela database which draws the data from the Basic Accounting System (BAS) of government. The system does not contain information on service providers; this will have to be requested from the respective departments.
Spending on transport equipment was R4.1 billion in 2010-11, R 5.4 billion in 2011-12, R4.6 billion in 2012-13, R5.2 billion in 2013-14 and R5.4 billion in 2014-15. Since 1 April 2015, the departments have spent R1.6 billion. Table 1 below shows the total spending per category of transport equipment excluding aircrafts.
