Each MP receives about R19 000 a month, including a constituency allowance, a parliamentary allowance and their contribution to a party leader allowance, but under the new proposal this would increase to about R50 000 a month.
WOW.. clearly it pays well to be in gov.. heck 19k is ALOT already, I mean ow much do university qualified people earn?

Ooh ya - but's let rip the taxpayer a new one - while one of the largest industries in this country goes untaxed - and 3/4's of public servants are up for corruption and theft."The South African parliament thus bears the burden of reflecting a stable, professional and truly democratic institution to the global community.
"An institution such as parliament therefore should be able to bear the glare of intense public scrutiny with dignity and decorum, as befits the highest office in the country."
