2019:
- 2019 was a transition period from the application of the previous Strategic Fund Regulation to that of the current Strategic Fund Regulation.
- Only R318 million of the available R339 million for 2019 was allocated; the remainder (R21 million) was transferred to 2020.
2020:
- There was an approximate over-allocation of R5 million in 2020.
2021:
- R54 million was available in 2021. After subtracting the over-allocated amount mentioned above, a final amount of R49 million was available for the application process.
- A new C sub-category, C1.2, was added in 2021. R2 million of the R15 million for the C category was allocated to C1.2, with the understanding that, if not utilised, it would carry over to the next year.
2022:
- In 2022 there were no Category B applications. Thus, only R49 million of the R72 million was allocated.
