In making our recommendations the Committees have considered that the determination of recommendations relating to magistrates' (and judges') salaries is a relatively new exercise for the Commission. Like all new institutions and processes, there are opportunities to develop and learn collectively from short-comings and challenges. Most developing democracies have at some time or another faced such and sometimes worse institutional challenges, and it is out of corrective measures implemented within constitutional mechanisms that strong and enduring practices of good governance and institutions have developed. Consequently, after careful consideration of all the written and oral submissions placed before the Portfolio Committee and the Select Committee, on the recommendations contained in Notice 46 of 2005, including the implications of the proposed new motor vehicle allowance for magistrates and senior magistrates, as recommended by the Commission; and - (i) despite any procedural shortcomings that may have occurred in relation to the Commissions work; (ii) the absence of a budgetary allocation of R157 million to the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, to defray the new proposed motor vehicle allowance to entry level magistrates, magistrates and senior magistrates; and (iii) because the relevant Government Departments are considering proposals to create a salary regime which ensures parity and synergy between the salary packages of legally qualified professionals working for the State, the Committees make the recommendations hereunder to ensure that the problems pertaining to the work of the Commission do not recur.
