A report, from the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers, says President Cyril Ramaphosa, Members of Parliament (MPs), ministers and other officials could potentially receive a salary increase for the financial year ahead.

The report, from the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers, has cited potential salary increases for President Cyril Ramaphosa, Members of Parliament , ministers and other officials for the financial year ahead.“They seem not to be listening to what is happening around them. The economy is bad, there is the mismanagement of funds, there are people who are supposed to be longing after the funds who are not doing their jobs, most of them.

“The people who deserve to be getting an increase are the public servants, the lowly paid. They have agreed that there should be a wage freeze for three years but all of a sudden the Commission says those people deserve an increase,” adds Ntshalintshali.In February, public sector unions lost their Constitutional Court bid to force the government to honour its 2018 three-year wage agreement.The salary increase would have added R38 billion to the already high public sector wage bill.

The Constitutional Court dismissed the public sector union’s application for permission to appeal a 2020 Labour Appeal Court judgment. In that judgment, the Labour Appeal Court dismissed the unions’ application to enforce clause 3.3 of the collective agreement.The video below is reporting on the court ruling over public wage bill:
