Buti Manamela

ANCR232 680/mo equivalent · 2025/26 ref

Buti Manamela serves as Higher Education and Training minister (ANC). This tracker shows 2025/26 gazetted Minister package reference of R2 792 155 per year — R232 680 per month equivalent, effective 1 April 2025. This role reference does not establish the exact package effective from 1 April 2026. A Presidency statement dated 20 January 2026 says a 3.8% National Executive increase takes effect from 1 April 2026; Gazette 53965 itself states 1 April 2025. M4 checked the current Remuneration Commission determination and recommendation libraries, which remain labelled 2025-26 and expose no 2026/27 Executive schedule. Odyssey therefore keeps the exact 2026-effective package unresolved, does not calculate it from 3.8%, and does not assume either official date is a typo. This tracker does not currently publish an independent performance scorecard for this portfolio, so no performance grade is shown. Appointment, audit and remuneration fields retain their own cited source periods.

Official gazette · effective 1 April 2025 ↗

Presidency announcement: +3.8% from 1 April 2026. M4 found no 2026/27 National Executive determination or recommendation in the checked Commission libraries, so the exact updated package remains pending source reconciliation in Odyssey; it is not derived by arithmetic.

M4 source-cycle status: official-cycle-conflict-no-2026-27-schedule-found

No exact 2026-effective Minister, Deputy President or Deputy Minister package is published by Odyssey from this check. The known 3.8% announcement is shown separately from the exact 2025/26 Gazette schedule.
