The EFF has defended former Sars commissioner Tom Moyane who was axed by President Cyril Ramaphosa last year, saying he deserved to be treated fairly.
The Economic Freedom Fighters has pre-empted President Cyril Ramaphosa’s appointment of a new South African Revenue Service commissioner, saying the choice of former Sars official Edward Kieswetter will be challenged in court, despite the appointment of a new commissioner not being announced officially.
The EFF alleges that Kieswetter is close to Manuel and was a Sars official under former commissioner Pravin Gordhan and was present when the “illegal intelligence unit” at the tax agency was formed. The EFF demanded that the process to appoint a SARS commissioner be restarted and “opened to public scrutiny”.bring the institution to a standstillThe tax agency is still reeling from rampant mismanagement under Moyane, which culminated in a R142-billion revenue hole, funds which the fiscus could have used on public services such as health, education and safety and security.
