What is an IRP5?

An ITR12 is the Income Tax Return for all individuals (including provisional taxpayers) for a particular tax year.

An IRP6 is a Tax Return completed by provisional taxpayers, twice or (optionally) three times during the tax year to declare their income.

If you earn a salary and no other income, then you are not a provisional taxpayer and the IRP6 is not relevant to you.
