4. An updated benchmark exercise was undertaken by Alexander Forbes and used as a basis for the determination of the salary, allowances and benefits of the current Auditor-General. 5. Upon scrutiny, the Committee found that the calculation from Alexander Forbes was flawed based on the following reasons: . Wrong inclusion of R60 000 p/m taken as equivalent to the rental amount of the house occupied by Chief Justice in Bishopscourt. Upon enquiry with the Department of Justice, the Committee found that there is no house in Bishopscourt occupied by Chief Justice. The Committee established that the housing allowance for the Chief Justice is regulated in terms of the Ministerial Handbook and hence the R60 000 p/m is not applicable. Thus, the Committee resolved to apply the appropriate amount stipulated in the Ministerial Handbook. . Alexander Forbs use basic salary of R2 525 200 per annum paid to Chief Justice. However, the Committee could not establish such an amount upon reading a letter sent by the President to the Speaker, dated 03 January 2014, regarding the determination of remuneration of Constitutional Judges and Judges.
