President Jacob Zuma should turn down his salary increase because he does not deserve it, the Democratic Alliance said on Friday.
The president will now earn R2 874 851 a year, following approval by Parliament on Thursday.

This means Zuma will now earn R7 876 a day.

The DA’s Sej Motau said the increase came at a time when the country was fighting a downgrade to "junk status".

"Junk performance should not be rewarded with increased remuneration," he said.

He blamed the ANC for voting in favour of the motion, saying this proved they did not put South Africans first.

Debating the salary increase in Parliament on Thursday, parties - including the DA, EFF and Cope - objected to the increase.

But other political parties said those who objected were hypocrites, as MPs had accepted 4.5% increases as well.

The ANC on Thursday said none of the MPs who objected to the increase had opted for lower or no salary increases.

"The cheap posturing and hypocrisy by certain opposition MPs who voted against the increase for the President, whilst they happily pocketed the salary increases he approved recently, is shameful," the party said in a statement.

Cope said on Thursday that both MPs and the president should not have received an increase.

172 MPs voted in favour of the increase, while 81 voted against, and two abstentions were recorded on Thursday.

Where do you think they dug up the term white privilege?

If we round up to R3mil a year, it'll take 80 years of Zuma's full salary to pay back the R240mil stolen from the taxpayer for Nkandla.

It'll take 1666 Zuma salaries to pay back the loss suffered to the economy when he made a play for treasury by firing Nene for his Gupta masters.

Zuma only came to power in 2009, it took them less than 7 years to ruin the country.

well its not white privelege, if everybody, black,White, blue, red, Green, orange, indigo suffers.
the real question is what should happen now,
 
Just funny, parliament suggests and approves a 5% increase for the main clown and he in turn only approves 4,5% for the rest of the clowns in his circus. They should fire him immediately for that.

The good life
 
All moral politicians from all parties should set an example and not take increases when it comes to that time.

With the emphasis on "moral".
 
The DA MPs should give their increases to a deserving charity to prove a point. I doubt they will!
 
He needs to make sure he gets enough money once he retires...for all the illegitimate *Corrupters he's still going to father.

* They're like the Nordic Berserkers...but African.
