Weekend Argus reports that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has two months to pay performance bonuses to senior advocates, magistrates and prosecutors.  

The NPA made an undertaking last month to pay staff bonuses and salary increases in a staggered manner as it faced budgetary constraints.  But, more than a month later only junior staff have received the performance bonuses, although salary increases were paid to everyone.  Senior staff say they have been left in limbo as the NPA has not made it clear when they would receive the performance bonuses.  This week the NPA’s Bulelwa Makeke said payment would be made gradually in the lead-up to the end of the financial year.  The NPA now has two months to fulfill its undertaking as the 2016/17 financial year ends in March.
