The articles says " ..These are cost to company (CTC) figures..." I presume PER MONTH ??? Otherwise the MD in JHB (0-2 years experience) earns a salary of R 5 416 per month !!!!

Who ever posted the article did to help those who might find it useful. Like myself running a small agency, it has helped. I think the article reflects monthly salaries at CTC package. Any sane person could have figured that out. Posted on 11 Jan 2013 10:56
