Many of the people who wanted to protect Sars were forced to quit during the Tom Moyane years 💸
The South African Revenue Service has publicly apologised to several of its former employees whose lives, livelihoods and reputations were destroyed during the capture of the tax authority.
Among those who received a public apology are former deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay, former group executive for strategic planning and risk Peter Richer, former Sars executive Johann van Loggerenberg and former Sars spokespeople Adrian Lackay and Marika Miller.The extent of the harm done to them was exposed through the Nugent Commission of Inquiry into Tax Administration and Governance by Sars.
Newspaper headlines screamed about the “rogue unit” within Sars that not only spied on Zuma, but also ran a brothel and entered into illegal tax settlements.Loggerenberg and Lackay wrote in their book ‘Rogue, The Inside Story of Sars’s Elite Crime-Busting Unit’ that by April 2015 Pillay’s advisor Yolisa Pikie, and chief officer for enforcement and customs investigations Gene Ravele had left.
The committee was to establish a process to foster healing, reconciliation and remedial action for all who were impacted by the false allegations levelled against them. The committee’s report was submitted in March this year and Kieswetter accepted the recommendations. Sars says in its statement it recognises that both the Sikhakhane and KPMG investigations and the ensuing findings and recommendations were “deeply flawed”.
