Question NW3698 to the Minister of Water and Sanitation
20 November 2023 - NW3698
Matuba, Ms M M to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
In light on the fact that the Government departments have a responsibility to use their budget and procurement spending to ensure the benefit of historically disadvantaged individuals, what total amount of his departmental budget has been used to benefit historically disadvantaged individuals, namely women, young persons and people living with disabilities in the past four financial years?
Reply:
Up until 2020/21 the Department was tracking Exempted Micro Enterprises and Qualifying Small Enterprises and was not tracking procurement expenditure in terms of the designated groups. The Department commenced tracking procurement expenditure relating to Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDIs) from 2021/22.
