5 OCTOBER 1999



HEADMEN TO RECEIVE PARITY AND ALLOWANCE INCREASE

Nearly 900 headmen of the Province of the Eastern Cape will receive parity of their monthly allowances as well as an increase of seven 
percent retrospectiveto April 1999. The announcement was made today by the Premier Rev Makhenkesi Stofile in Bisho. The back-pay and the 
new allowance levels will be effected at the end of this month.

The decision will benefit 860 headmen who were recipients of a government allowance. Premier Stofile said the process leading up to April 
1999 had been complicated than anticipated. He said it re quired a thorough audit and cleansing of the system and identification of 
disparities which would "now be addressed" to ensure there is equal compensation for equal work done.
