Ms M R Shinn (DA) to ask the Minister of Communications:
Why is there a discrepancy between his reply to question 2634 on 5 November
2013 and page 143 of his departmentâs 2012-13 Annual Report regarding (a)
the number of employees who received bonuses and (b) the total cost of
bonuses?                 Â

Reply:
The Department gave me those figures, obviously, and admits there was an
internal error in reporting that 167 employees received bonuses to an
amount of R2, 803Â 047.18. We apologise for the discrepancy and commit that
going forward we will conduct quality reviews and checks.
(a) The correct number of employees who received bonuses for 2012/2013 is
153.
(b) The total amount paid on bonuses for 2012/2013 is R3, 574 million.
