Mmamathe Makhekhe-Mokhuane came under fire after a disastrous SABC interview, in which she told the presenter 'protect me from yourself.'

This alleged request to convince her to leave the organisation has been confirmed by a well-placed Sars employee, who claims that despite a disciplinary process under way against Makhekhe-Mokhuane, who is accused of bringing the institution into disrepute, no charges have been presented to her. She was placed on discretionary leave in January, according to Sars spokesperson Sandile Memela, although an official letter from Kingon seen by The Citizen suggests she went on extended sick leave soon after the SABC debacle, returning to her office in January this year.
It reads: “As [she] is aware, Sars has suffered severe reputational damage resulting from her performance in the SABC interview.” It is apparent in the letter that Makhekhe-Mokhuane refused to resign and Kingon threatened to proceed with disciplinary action against her, which could lead to her dismissal should she not take the offer.
