Dr Aaron Motsoaledi serves as Health 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 profile retains a legacy Odyssey A-F scorecard for editorial context, but M3 does not re-certify that grade as a current performance rating. 0 of 3 KPI snapshots are directly reconciled to primary sources; the remaining KPI values and the legacy budget-spend field remain review-required.

Remuneration source — Government Gazette 53965, Notice 7004
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.

Legacy Odyssey Scorecard · Grade C · evidence review
Grade retained as editorial history; M3 does not translate it into a salary “value for money” verdict.
Odyssey's A-F grades are legacy editorial syntheses, not official government ratings and not re-certified by M3. M3 separates direct primary-source KPI snapshots from legacy unreconciled values; unreconciled targets, traffic lights, budget-spend rates, achievements and failures must not be read as current verified facts.
NHI framework advancing but divisive. Provincial health finances remain uncontrolled.

Remuneration uses the source-bounded 2025/26 Gazette reference described above. Legacy Odyssey scorecards are editorial and under evidence review; only KPI rows labelled direct primary snapshot were reconciled in M3. Unreconciled budget-spend percentages are not rendered.
