JOHANNESBURG – The Economic Freedom Fighters has refused to retract its statement accusing former finance minister Trevor Manuel of a conflict of interest in the appointment of new South African Reve
nue Service Commissioner Edward Kieswetter.
Last month, the party issued a statement just hours ahead of the announcement of the new Sars commissioner describing his appointment process as "corrupt".The EFF said it was not enough that Manuel recused himself from the interview process for the new Sars commissioner due to his “friendly relationship” with Kieswetter.
The EFF also wants Manuel to provide information that was relied on to determine that Kieswetter was the strongest candidate during the process.
