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.
