Minister of Economic Development Ebrahim Patel caused a stir two years ago when he suggested a cap on pay and bonuses for senior managers and executives earning over R550 000 a year. “We need to analyse cost structures and look at what can be balanced and certainly we need to look at cutting certain elements of remuneration at executive level, but also improve productivity overall,” Maia said. The report says Africa and Latin America are the world’s most inequitable regions. Six of the 10 countries with the most unequal income distribution are in Southern Africa. “One reason [for this] is that in several natural resource-rich countries, local elites, together with international capital, have been able to appropriate most of the rents from natural resources,” the report says. It comments on SA’shigh Gini coefficient, a measure of how unequal a country is on a scale of 0 to 1, with 0 being the most equal. “The case of SA is particularly interesting, because I ) =AHE= LEAM B ,K>=E’I 2= 6K AEH=D=@ *KH ) )H=> 0JA 9A=JDO )BCD=I D=LA ID=HFO E?HA=IA@ JDA F=?A B ELAIJ AJ E FHFAHJO E JDA /KB A EH=JA!
