The South African government has gazetted the official pay increases for public officials for the 2018 financial year, following approval from president Jacob Zuma for a salary increase of between 4% and 8%.<\/p>\n

Salaries and allowances of different categories of Public Office-Bearers are determined by the President, after taking into account, amongst others, the recommendations of the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office-Bearers (the commission).<\/p>\n

The commission recommended a 0% increase for most government officials in 2017, on the back of tough economic conditions that hit the country. While South Africa\u2019s economy still struggled through 2017, the commission recommended a small increase for officials in 2018.<\/p>\n

The increases range between 4% and 8%, with ministers and their deputies on the lowest end of the scale. With CPI currently sitting at around 5%, most adjustments fall under inflation levels.<\/p>\n

The salary of the president is determined and approved by parliament, and will be considered in the new year.<\/p>\n

This is what government officials will earn next year:<\/p>\n
