How much are commissaires paid, and when?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under section 27 of the Cycling SA Road Cycling Handbook 2026, the event organiser pays commissaires and technical officials according to the structure Cycling SA approves:

National events: a daily fee, including registration days, set at R750 per day from 1 January 2024, plus R5.50 per km.
Annual increase: the daily fee is increased on 1 January each year by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), so the 2026 daily fee is the R750 base adjusted for CPI.
Provincial and regional events: fees are set by each provincial affiliate, but a trainee commissaire's daily fee is 50% of a regional or national commissaire's.

When you get paid

You are paid in full only once all race reports and results have reached the Cycling SA Technical Manager (sections 27.2 and 28.7).
Payments and invoices are accepted only from the provincial body, not from separate entities.
