BusinessLive reports that President Jacob Zuma has accepted the proposal not to give top public office bearers a pay rise in 2016-17.
The Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers recommended no adjustments in remuneration for the president, deputy president, ministers and deputy ministers. Also not getting pay rises will be MPs and members of provincial executives and legislatures, judges, executive mayors and whips in local government and traditional leaders. But the commission recommended 4% cost-of-living adjustments in remuneration of municipal councillors and 6% for all magistrates and some others.
