Public Servants Association

The 2024 public sector wage increase in South Africa provides a 4.7% raise for employees on salary levels 1 to 12, reflecting the government’s commitment to public workers amid economic pressures. Allocated ZAR 251 billion will support these increases while emphasizing sustainable fiscal management. This model balances public worker welfare with budget constraints, aiming to stabilize the sector and improve service quality across education, healthcare, and law enforcement.
