StateCaptureInquiry: Zondo set to rule on Moyane's bid to cross-examine Gordhan
Johannesburg - Former Sars boss Tom Moyane will know on Tuesday whether he will be granted permission to cross-examine Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan at the Zondo commission.
Gordhan had testified last year at the inquiry and implicated Moyane saying he had lied to Parliament about his involvement in the awarding of a debt collection tender at Sars. Mpofu said the only way Moyane would be able to defend himself is if he is allowed to cross-examine Gordhan and also provide his own version of events. Mpofu said Gordhan had been hostile to Moyane and was racist toward him. He also argued that the allegations of a rogue unit at Sars need to be heard by the Zondo commission.
"There is no difference in that and setting up a rogue unit which would spy on citizens. it is a parallel state that you are creating and that falls within the mandate of the commission,” said Mpofu. Gordhan’s legal representative Advocate Michelle Le Roux argued against Moyane’s application.
