As a result, approximately 59.3% of young people aged between 15 and 34 years are unemployed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The provincial economy was estimated to have peaked at 4.2% in 2021 while the real output was projected to retreat somewhat to 1.7% in 2022 and 2023, she said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Medium-term expenditure framework<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dube-Ncube said that globally, there was some recovery after the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, &#8220;the recovery domestically was impacted by the unrest that occurred in July 2021, as well as the high unemployment rate&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This, she said, resulted in lowered economic growth expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The MEC was, however, positive about improved tax revenues &#8220;due to the commodity price cycle&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She said:<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;Domestically, we have higher risks from contingent liabilities from our larger state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and the cost of borrowing is rising, especially the cost of foreign borrowing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Allocation of budget<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The biggest chunk of the more than R140 billion budget went to education, with R57.5 billion or 40.9% of the total. The main cost driver for this department is the compensation of employees, with an average of 89% of the total equitable share budget going towards this category, Dube-Ncube said.<\/p>\n<p>The department reports that there are 5 807 public ordinary schools with 2 657 055 pupils, 75 public special schools &#8220;where the number of learners is yet to be finalised&#8221;, and 131 independent schools with 32 153 pupils.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The budget provides for the upgrade to ICT infrastructure and to purchase IT equipment, such as hardware, and will also upgrade servers and data lines.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said the department set a target of resourcing 54 schools with ICT equipment (both primary and high schools). Two software systems are planned to be introduced in 2022\/23, namely the e-submission and e-leave management systems.<\/p>\n<p><b>ALSO READ |<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DA: &#8216;Consider KZN&#8217;s finances before building precinct&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The e-submission system will be used to process all official documents to ensure system efficiency,&#8221; Dube-Ncube said.<\/p>\n<p>The second highest allocation was health, with a budget of R49.6 billion or 35.3% of the budget.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The bulk of the department&#8217;s budget allocation is for the delivery of primary health care services to the approximately 87.4% uninsured population of KZN.<\/p>\n<p>She added:<\/p>\n<p>Dube-Ncube said the health department was in the planning phase of upgrading four district hospitals to regional hospitals to assist rural populations in uMkhanyakude, Harry Gwala, Zululand and uMzinyathi Districts.<\/p>\n<p>There are three tertiary hospitals (Greys, King Edward VIII and Ngwelezane Hospitals) and one central hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The plan over the medium to long term is to develop both the King Edward VIII and Ngwelezane Hospitals to provide full tertiary hospital services packages, Dube-Ncube said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new Dr Pixley ka Isaka Seme Memorial Hospital (PKISMH) was planned for commissioning in 2021\/22. To date, PKISMH is 99% complete with a phased-in implementation process already having commenced in the last few months, with further aspects of the commissioning occurring incrementally going forward. The hospital will have 500 beds and approximately 1 500 staff once fully operational.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Never miss a story.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Choose from our range of newsletters to get the news you<\/p>\n<p>want delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
