Value for money.

From the previous article on this, it’s nonsense.

That’s an average of R4.9m per year. That can’t be right.

Edit: ah it’s selective reporting from mybb. From another article.

Billions spent on SAPS bosses but policing on ground falls short- Cameron

Testimony coming from the Madlanga Commission continues to bring police corruption into the spotlight.

Currently, there are over 700 senior officers, consisting of brigadiers and generals, with just over 3000 officers at the colonel level. This is costing taxpayers around R3.6 billion.

So that’s 3700 people earning R3.6b which averages to about R970k per person. Still a lot but not R5m a lot.

Despite this, mybb will keep rehashing the incorrect figures in multiple duplicate articles.

"There are currently around 18 active-duty brigadier generals (one-star rank) in the U.S. Air Force, with an additional 18 officers selected for promotion to the rank. "

SA must have a huge and excellent Defence Force.

You must be joking. Brigadiers get 5 million rand salary ?

Never let the truth stand in the way of some good old outrage.

Even one of Business Tech's own article from two years ago contradicts this article.
