3. Implementation of Strategic Plan3. Implementation of Strategic Plan3.2 Resources Constraints3.2 Resources Constraints

Funding Model for C-BRTA- Agency has been self funding entity however only it

can cover is operational expenditure not capital expenditure

While self- funding key challenges- Tariffs has not increase annually to cover such costs

since 2004- Penalties not consistent and also at discretional

Magistrate Courts- Law enforcement function add financial strain on the

Agency finances in ability to generate revenues that cover its costs.

Human Capital- Due to an absence of leadership, staff development,

performance management and career development was not implemented, as a result the Agency lacks critical skills;

- High turnover at senior management level to provide stability;

- Lack of performance management systems including senior management;

- Large number of outstanding industrial relations and labour law cases that increase the risk of contingency liabilities not being recognised.

Resting facilities along major routes into South Africa are already inadequate for operators and passengers which would make the situation even more critical during 2010.
