Earlier today, Members of Parliament gave a thumbs up to a five percent increase on President Jacob Zuma’s salary. He will now earn close to R2.5 million per year. Zuma was also kind enough to give Members of Parliament the same 5% increase in the National Assembly.
Well, nearly everyone. Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe will not receive a salary as he enjoys the “pension benefits of a former president.” Still, not bad for someone who was only president for eight months.
