[This is what Blacks do when they're in charge. They give themselves insane salaries running into the millions of Rands. These people have no conception of efficiency or frugality. Whites in similar positions under White rule earned a FRACTION of these amounts. Jan]
The CEOs of state-owned ICT companies in South Africa earn substantial salaries, with one making as much as President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2021.
MyBroadband compared CEO salaries from five state-owned ICT companies and found that they ranged from R2.7 million to R5.7 million as of March 2021.
The companies analysed include Broadband Infraco, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa), Sentech, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), and the State Information Technology Agency (Sita).
SABC CEO Madoda Mxakwe received the highest salary of the companies compared, taking home R5,753,000 during the financial year ended 31 March 2021.
His salary increased by R274,000 from R5,479,000 in the 2019/20 financial year.
According to the National Treasury’s budget documents, President Cyril Ramaphosa earned the same amount in 2021 and 2020.
At the end of March 2021, the SABC reported a net loss of R530 million, with revenue declining 12% year-on-year to R4.97 billion.
The broadcaster noted that TV licence revenue continued its decline, dropping 0.4% to R788 million in the 2020/21 financial year.
Sentech’s CEO, Mlami Booi, saw the biggest salary hike of the companies compared. He received a pay bump of R1,065,000 (29.5%) to R4,674,000 from R3,609,000.
The state-owned electronic communications and network services provider is the primary distributor of set-top boxes for South Africa’s digital migration project. Booi has been its CEO since October 2015.
Sentech’s year-on-year revenue declined by R1.4 billion, but its net profit increased by R313 million — likely due to aggressive reductions in expenditure.

Icasa reported a surplus figure of R37,784,400 for 2021, compared to R3,504,870 for 2020.
