PROCLAMATION
by the President of the Republic of South Africa
SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES OF MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND PERMANENT DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF PROVINCES
In terms of section 3(1) of the Remuneration of Public
Office Bearers Act, 1998 (Act No. 20 of 1998) ("the Remuneration
Act"), I hereby determine that the annual salaries and allowances of
the various grades of office bearers mentioned in Column 1 of the Schedule
shall be as set out in Column 2, 3 or 4 of the Schedule with effect from 1
April 2000, subject to section 3(6)(a) and (b) of the Remuneration Act.
Column 4 of the Schedule applies to a re-elected member
who has occupied his or her current office, or an office in the same or a
higher grade according to Column 1 of the Schedule, for a continuous period
of at least 24 months in total, whether before or after 2 June 1999.
Column 3 of the Schedule applies to all re-elected
members other than those referred to in paragraph 2. When a re-elected
member to whom Column 3 applies has held his or her current office, or an
office in the same or a higher grade according to Column 1, for a continuous
period of 24 months in total, Column 4 becomes applicable to that member.
Column 2 of the Schedule applies to all members of the
National Assembly and permanent delegates to the National Council of
Provinces who are not reelected members.
For the purposes of calculating the period of 24 months
referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, a re-elected member is regarded to have
continued to be a member of the National Assembly or a permanent delegate to
the National Council of Provinces, as the case may be, during the period 2
June 1999 until the date on which he or she was designated or appointed as
such a member or delegate pursuant to the elections of that date.
In terms of section 3(3) of the Remuneration Act, I
determine the amount of R40 000, 00 per annum as that portion of the
remuneration of an office bearer mentioned in Column 1 of the Schedule to
which section 8(1)(d) of the Income Tax Act, 1962 (Act No. 58 of 1962),
applies.
In this Proclamation, unless the context indicates
otherwise, any word or expression to which a meaning has been assigned in
the Remuneration Act, the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa,
1996, or the relevant Rules and Orders contemplated in sections 45, 57 or 70
of the Constitution, bears that meaning; and
"re-elected member" means a person who -
- immediately before 2 June 1999 was a member of the National Assembly or a permanent delegate to the National Council of Provinces; and
following the elections of 2 June 2000, was designated as such a member by the Electoral Commission or appointed as such a delegate in terms of section 61(2)(b) or the Constitution.
Proclamation No.112 of 1999, published in the Government Gazette of 19 November 1999, is repealed.
Given under my Hand and Seal of the Republic of South Africa at Pretoria this Twenty-sixth day of September Two thousand.
