SARS wars sequel: Pillay, Magashula subpoenaed by Public Protector | itchybyte JennaEtheridge
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has subpoenaed former South African Revenue Service commissioner Oupa Magashula and former deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay over alleged irregularities with Pillay's retirement, her spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Asked to confirm if he had been subpoenaed and for more details, Pillay replied by WhatsApp:"Hi, no comment at this stage." In August 2016, Pravin Gordhan was being pursued by the Hawks in a criminal investigation relating to SARS' alleged payment of the top-up on behalf of Pillay. He said in response to the allegations that Magashula had written to him asking for approval of Pillay's early retirement so that Pillay could fund his children's education through his pension.
On October 2 last year Mkhwebane had subpoenaed Gordhan to appear before her on November 14 after he allegedly failed to respond. She added that members of the public and political parties regularly ask her to investigate purely on the basis of news reports. Sometimes it is without evidence, but it does not stop her from investigating.
