Wages and costs
January 13th, 2008
I learned today that a regional magistrate – only one step down from a judge – earns Z$10 million, a sum recently increased to Z$ 100 million. It’s absurd.
I’ve always thought senior people in the judiciary were better off than the rest of the country, and they are, but not by as big a margin as I assumed.
How on earth are the rest of us meant to survive?
A farm worker officially earns Z$2.7 million; a gardener about Z$4.7 million and a police sergeant with many years of service earns about Z$17 million before deductions.
A 10kg bag of mealie meal now costs Z$10 million and a bar of soap costs Z$8 million.

Surely the magistrate or judge earns extra cash on the side for special services?

Extra cash on the side??? Would this be from bribes kickbacks and freebies??
