Former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel has demanded a retraction from the EFF for what he has called a false, racist, and libelous statements about himself and new Sars boss Edward Kieswetter.
PRETORIA - Former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel has demanded a retraction from the Economic Freedom Fighters for what he has called a false, racist, and libelous statements about himself and new South African Revenue Service boss Edward Kieswetter.
The EFF claims, without any supporting evidence, that Manuel and Kieswetter are friends and business partners. Ndlozi issued a statement on Wednesday, claiming that the new Sars boss and Manuel were friends, were in business together and that Manuel unlawfully appointed Kieswetter as deputy commissioner back in 2004.“Only a mind warped into destruction by apartheid can ever suggest blood-ties between two individuals classified coloured by the apartheid regime when the only connective tissue is racial classification. The onus now rests on Mr Ndlozi to prove the ties exist.
