Time for ParliamentofRSA to be dissolved and force early elections. StateCapture JunkStatus TechnicalRecession JUNKstate. Enough! DrainTheSwamp2022!

🤔

The only item they anomously agree on.

You can't defend it they should be taking off 3% 😡

🖕🏽

Of course they will! Its all about themselves. Ordinary, needy SA's are not a priority! Roll on 2024 🗳️

Honourable members are being recognized

I bet all parties joined hands in approving their pay increase 🙄

Free housing, medical aid, petrol, electricity, cars, lunch. They are also workers like everybody. They must pay for everything like everyone.

They would, it should be up to the people who pay the salaries, being the citizens that approve or deny. This based on performance, which is sadly non existent

Of course they would!!

They r conflicted. Obviously the ll want more after they cost us so much already in theft,mismanagement and stupid power hunger plays.

They got a 3% increase, can y'all stop overreacting and move on from this.

Of course they do it’s for them ridiculous

NEHAWU, DENOSAORG , SadtuNational ,HospersaOnline your silence is too loud.💁

'The national legislature says South African public representatives are not highly paid when benchmarked against their international counterparts and have a lot of oversight responsibilities'. Bullshit, their counterparts are probably doing their jobs.💁

3% of R200 000 is R6000 p/m. R72 000 p/year. Obviously Cyril feels they worked hard & deserve every cent. 🤔 If they not allowed side hustles then what's with the farms & family doing business with the state?

Where does the money suddenly come from because treasury said there's no money to give public servants a salary hike?😡😠🤬

It is indefensible - and is like prisoners being in charge of the prison. TAXPAYERS should decide the pay and perks of parliamentarians - NOT the parliamentarians themselves 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

They're taking us hard for a poes every single day... I do hope someone burns the next parliament down as well. Fuck em. They can zoom call SONA's from now on

Wealth redistribution through demographics?

Hypocrites

ANCParliament and the rest of political parties are out of touch with citizens. They get accommodation, cars, fuel, allowances for entertainment etc on top of +- R2million annual salaries. Shame on you MYANC Our_DA EFFSouthAfrica VoteCOPE Action4SA A_C_D_P

I would also defend if I was inside 😁.

Salaries should have been increased by R350 only.

For doing nothing.. Must be nice

Obviaas.
