We continue to strive to meets these challenges and take comfort in the thought that we are fulfilling our promises to our people. Many critics, some within this House and others were very sceptical of government's ability to match promises with action. We were told that the plans sounded good but there were action plans for implementation. Well, progress has been recorded on each and every project. In some instances, substantial progress has been made.
Implementation is well and truly underway.
The shared services centre, the strategic economic infrastructure investment programme, the PFMA implementation and the traffic policing improvement plan are all not just talk. Action and indeed some benefits from these projects are beginning to be seen. The better than projected performance of state finances has allowed for additional resources being made available to provinces in the adjustments to the Division of Revenue Act. Gauteng has been allocated R179 million as its equitable share of the additional resources. This allocation has been made to take account of the adjustments necessary on salary increases and other elements of the agreement reached at the Central Bargaining Chamber.
