The commission is mandated to make annual recommendations relating to the salaries, allowances, benefits, and other resources required by some public office bearers to enable them to perform their respective duties effectively.
The commission said it considered the submissions received from various stakeholders relating to the salaries, allowances and benefits of public office bearers. It further considered the fiscal condition of the state considering the Covid pandemic, the state’s wage bill, and how an increase would impact the fiscus.
The commission also proposes an increase for leaders of the opposition parties in Parliament. John Steenhuisen, as the official opposition would take home R1.64 million, while EFF leader Julius Malema and other leaders of minority parties will score R1.38 million.
