Key management personnel (continued)
SALGA’s Performance Management and Remuneration Committee is charged with normalising of
SALGA’s remuneration framework, particularly in instances where salary bands of some executives
are on a “personal to holder basis” till the expiry of the contract or through natural attrition or earlier.
The Chief Executive Officer’s current remuneration has been identified to be one of these category
of employees. Notwithstanding, the efforts to manage the escalation of remuneration at SALGA,
particularly those of executives, it is important to note that SALGA had to review its remuneration
policies as it pertains to its executives and benchmark these with municipalities particularly metros
since metropolitan municipalities pose the greatest direct remuneration competitor to SALGA (also
see report of the chairperson of SALGA’s Performance Management and Remuneration Committee
in the annual report).
