When most expected that President Jacob Zuma was going to award a full recommended 7% increase of salaries for Ministers and Members of Parliament. The President has come with an unexpected move to award an increase of 5% to his Cabinet and Members of Parliament. Many still believe that the President was being reactive towards what the Unions were going to say had he awarded a full 7%.
The bright side about this, is that President Zuma understands that other than the salary payouts Ministers and Members of Parliament still receive extra benefits that enable them to afford a luxurious lieving. Secondly President Zuma is setting a trend showing that what happens to workers as a government offer is not totally different from what the Ministers and MP's should get.
This move may raise many eye brows but on needs to commend the President for his vigilant and correct move. Tpmoftalks supports the decision by President Zuma.
