President Thabo Mbeki is considering recommendations of the Independent
Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers headed by Justice
Dikgang Moseneke.
In the interim, the President has asked the Commission to consider a
proposal of an inflation-linked increase for the financial year 2007/08.
A further determination will be made after the President has fully
considered the earlier recommendations of the Independent Commission for the
Remuneration of Public Office Bearers headed by Justice Dikgang Moseneke.
President Mbeki said it will take some time to consider the Commission's
report and requested the Commission to advice on the interim proposal.
The Commission will soon advise the President on the percentage increase he
should consider in his determination.
According to the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public
Office-Bearers Act of 1997, the President determines the salaries, allowances
and benefits of ministers and members of Parliament, as well as the upper
limits for premiers, members of provincial executive councils, provincial
legislatures and members of local authorities. The President also determines
the remuneration of judges and magistrates after the approval of
Parliament.
The President's remuneration, on the other hand, is determined by the
National Assembly of Parliament.
