President Cyril Ramaphosa has approved a salary increase for public office bearers, set to take effect on April 1, 2026.
The decision follows recommendations by the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers.
Under the new determination, judges, magistrates, traditional leaders, and members of independent constitutional institutions will receive a 4.1% pay rise.
Meanwhile, Members of the National Executive, Members of Parliament, members of provincial executive councils, and provincial legislatures will see their salaries increase by 3.8%.
The adjustments aim to align compensation with inflation and the recommendations of the independent commission.
