I have been working as an intern at George Municipality from 1 March to 31 December 2016 and on the 1st of January 2017 I got a permanent post,i received 2 IRP5's and on them reflects that I worked 12 months in this tax period on the old one and worked 1 month on the new post and I think it is supposed to be 10 months the old post and 2 months the new posts to make it 12 months. . . Am I wrong?

Correct - it sounds like you should have 2 IRP5s. The first one showing 1 March -31 Dec 2016 (10 months), and the second one for 1 Jan 2017-28 Feb 2017 (2 months).

If they are incorrect, you need to go back to your employer who needs to amend them.
