advocates Nazreen Bawa and Ncumisa Mayosi charge R22,400 and R20,000 respectively. Parliament’s chief legal adviser Zuraya Adhikarie revealed the amounts while answering journalists’ questions during an engagement between secretary to parliament Xolile George and the Press Gallery Association on Monday about George’s first year in office.

But the invoices from the state attorney are so delayed that the R4m may not be a true reflection of what they’ve earned.

When parliament procures these services, we do so at a reduced rate compared to what a counsel would normally charge standard clients,” she said.was charging R45,000 per day and that he would return to the inquiry if his rate was increased to R51,000 per day and that of his two juniors, from R27,000 to R30,000 for Bright Shabalala and from R18,000 to R21,000 per day for Benedict Matlhape.
