ABRAM VAN ZYL
Once again you are playing with the words, it is an instance of R7 000-00 that I gave to Ferdi, and if out of R7 000-00, if there was R1 000-00 too much, you may regard it as a salary.  At the end of the day, he was  satisfied with the R7 000-00 and maybe the cost he incurred was R7 500-00, maybe he received R500-00 too little.
