  22. Analysis reprioritisation for current financial year • Different sub-programmes: (R 375 million) • Funds have been identified against various programmes which will not be spent during the 2012/13 financial year. • This is due to the current capacity problems faced by the Department as well as projects not spending as expected • It is in the best interest of the department to reprioritise funding to built capacity and resources to effectively implement the Turn around strategy • Home Affairs (R 110 million ring-fenced) • Capital Infrastructure projects were not identified and agreed to in time to spend funds before the end of the financial year • This amount is ring-fenced and cannot be reprioritised, but will be given back to National Treasury
