Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) bosses are set to cash in an annual salary of more than R2 million should Parliament rubber-stamp a retrospective salary increase of 3%.<\/p>\n

After deliberation, the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs concurred with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s determination on the, “… remuneration adjustment”, of IEC commissioners that a retrospective salary increase of 3% be implemented for the chairperson and other full-time commissioners for the 2021\/22 financial year.<\/p>\n

This equates to a total remuneration of R2 498 817 for the chairperson of the IEC and R2 175 568 for full-time commissioners.<\/p>\n

Details of the salary increase were contained in the committee’s report on determining the remuneration of IEC commissioners for 2021\/22.<\/p>\n

Civil society groups threaten Parliament with legal action over Electoral Amendment Bill<\/p>\n

The report is dated 23 August and was released two days later.<\/p>\n

In June, Ramaphosa wrote to the National Assembly (NA) requesting lawmakers to consider the draft notice of determination of the salaries and allowances of members of various institutions, including the IEC.<\/p>\n

“The president received the annual salary recommendations for the Public Office Bearers of the Independent Constitutional Institutions from the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers.<\/p>\n

“The commission, having considered amongst others the state’s wage bill and the impact of public office bearers’ salary increment on the fiscus of the country, recommended a 3% salary increment for all public office bearers for the financial year 2021\/22,” the report reads.<\/p>\n

The IEC remains without a chairperson, but in May the committee adopted a report recommending that the National Assembly reappoint Glen Mashinini as a commissioner of the IEC.<\/p>\n

Mashinini’s original seven-year term as an IEC commissioner expired in April. He was appointed as a commissioner in April 2015, and in September of that year, former President Jacob Zuma appointed him as chairperson.<\/p>\n

Section 7(2) of the Electoral Commission Act 51 of 1996 provides that the IEC’s full- and part-time commissioners are entitled to annual salaries and allowances or benefits.<\/p>\n

DA objects to ANC’s nod to Glen Mashinini for IEC commissioner<\/p>\n

One part-time IEC commissioner is a judge and is remunerated in terms of the Judges’ Remuneration and Conditions of Employment Act 2001 at a daily or hourly sitting rate calculated on a basic salary of a judge of the high court.<\/p>\n

“The committee recommends that the National Assembly approve the notice determining the remuneration of the commissioners of the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC),” the report read.<\/p>\n

In June, Ramaphosa approved a 3% increase for public office bearers on the recommendation of the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers.<\/p>\n

It is the first increase MPs and MPLs have received since 2019.<\/p>\n

Parliament defended the increases for its MPs following a public outcry with unions such as Cosatu describing the increases as tone deaf.<\/p>\n
