Notice of IPA Membership Fee Increase
Dear IPA Members,
First and foremost, sincere IPA greetings to all our members nationally.
Notably across all spheres of our lives, the cost of living keeps on increasing. Increases are being experienced
across every aspect of our livelihood – for fuel, municipal accounts, food, drinks, insurance, and travel, as well as for
membership fees of sports clubs and associations we belong to.
IPA South Africa similarly finds itself caught up in the reality that increases across various levels have a serious
impact on the Association.
With the current membership amounting to R300.00 per annum, IPA South Africa is no longer in a position to
cover all its liabilities. We are experiencing serious financial constraints.
IPA (SA) membership fees have not been increased for many years.
During the National Council Meeting held on 20 and 21 October 2022, the National Council in the context of the
financial constraints being experienced approved an annual increase of R60.00 per member.
The increase of R60.00 per member will become effective on 1 January 2023 with the annual membership fee
then being R360.00 per member and it being deducted as follows
- Serving SAPS Members:
- Monthly deduction increasing from R25.00 per month to R30.00 per month.
The increased deductions will be undertaken through PERSAL at the end of January 2023
- Monthly deduction increasing from R25.00 per month to R30.00 per month.
- EFT, Debit Order and Cash Payments:
- For new and existing EFT and Cash Paying members, the new membership fee will be applicable
as of 1 January 2023 - New and existing Debit Order deductions will be processed from the end of January as applicable
- For new and existing EFT and Cash Paying members, the new membership fee will be applicable
The cost of annual membership between now and 31 December 2022, will remain unchanged at R300.00 per member.
Any membership fee received between now and 31 December 2023 will be R300.00 and be regarded as membership fees for 2023 – such members will be regarded as duly paid up for 2023.
The National Executive Committee (NEC) sincerely has trust that members will see the increase in light of the
liabilities IPA (SA) is experiencing. We have really tried to keep the increase as low as possible.
Yours sincerely,
