That is true leadership unlike being worried about their net worth. They truly know the definition of GOVERNMENT.

He is Tipex-ing Malawians didn't forget about election

Old like this😲..... this 30%nter is crazy to keep holding on to presidency🤷‍♂️🤭😒

There are more than 29 000 goverment officials that get(not earn) more than a million p.yr. The top paid 40 000 goverment officials should be subjected to a 30% salary cut

Same must apply across the whole world.

ntsikimazwai The only politician who can do that is the one who knows how to control and manage corruption.

Ramaphosa and his cabinet must follow suit.

He looks like he should have long retired....

They then must earn very large salaries fot it not to be empty tokenism.

10% only

CyrilRamaphosa

CyrilRamaphosa

Here in SA public workers are not getting an increase but tax will increase .that time I'm a public health worker.I feel used.😐

He knows exactly where he's going to recoup that 10% from.

Great initiative!

That's great

And how much less stealing will he do. CyrilRamaphosa its not so much your salary, but the enormous theft that goes with it. Legal in your eyes and the eyes of those stealing with you
