Cape Town - The mini budget sets aside R32.6m for the department of health for Ebola control and prevention measures, including support for affected countries.
Other additional allocations for unforeseeable and unavoidable expenditure include R157m on cooperative governance vote to repair infrastructure damaged by disasters, and R35m for emergency water and sanitation interventions.
Extra money has also been set aside for diplomats to counter expenses due to the weak rand. For this R350m will go to the department of international relations and cooperation.
The adjustment appropriation also includes R620m for the digital broadcast migration programme, as indicated in the February budget, Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene said in his speech.
After taking into account the unallocated reserve, declared savings and projected underspending, total expenditure in 2014/15 will be about R6bn less than the February estimate.
The revised revenue estimate is R956m, against R962.8m, leaving a deficit on the main budget of R180m. Surpluses of the social security funds, provinces and public entities are estimated at R27bn. This brings the consolidated budget deficit to R153bn, or 4.1% of gross domestic product, which is in line with the February budget estimate.
