Summary

The Democratic Alliance is suing Parliament’s secretary Xolile George over a controversial 70% salary jump from R2.6 million to R4.4 million, claiming he wasn’t properly shortlisted and Parliament failed to investigate. With parliamentary channels deadlocked, the DA seeks judicial review and is also pushing for a full probe by the Special Investigating Unit — all while Parliament insists the appointment and pay raise were lawful, benchmarked, and approved through standard procedures.
