I normally earn my salary first and be taxed from my salary,and after 2 weeks I then receive the bonus that is less than R4 000 and it is being taxed too,why is this happening?

Your bonus is added to your salary and the resulting total is taxed - so overall the amount is bigger than the threshold for taxation.
