Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, has made amendments to the salary tables for mayors, speakers and mayoral executive council members in South Africa.
In a gazette published this week, Dlamini-Zuma made changes to the upper limits of salaries for these top government officials and added allowable limits for cellphone bills covered for part-time councillors.
Under the current system, municipal workers are paid based on a point system that factors into its municipal income and the population that falls under the municipality. The sum of the number of points allocated to a municipal council in terms of the above table determines the grade of such municipal council as follows:
This table is then used to determine the pay of mayors and other top municipal workers, including the deputy mayor, speakers, mayoral committee members, executives of sub-councils, and whips.The only amendment to the remuneration packages is a reduction for level 1 chairpersons of oversight committees, where the figure has been cut to R592,395 from R615,055 before. The previous figure was higher than both level 2 chairpersons and level 1 MECs.
Changes to the perks include amendments adding the payment of cellphone expenses for part-time councillors, and the upper limit for mobile data of R300.00 has been set to be included in this limit for both full-time and part-time councillors.
