South African President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed Edward Kieswetter, as head of the South African Revenue Service with the primary task of rebuilding skills and trust in the tax authority after a commission of inquiry found the previous permanent commissioner had effectively “dismantled” the institution through mismanagement and alleged corruption. He starts at SARS on May 1.
Kieswetter was appointed after a committee named by Ramaphosa shortlisted six candidates, including Deloitte LPP’s head of tax in Africa, Nazrien Kader, and Mark Kingon, who took over as acting commissioner following the suspension and later dismissal of Tom Moyane. “Kieswetter emerged as the strongest candidate, based on his past experience as deputy commissioner for SARS between 2004 and 2009,” the Treasury said in an emailed statement Wednesday.
During his time at Alexander Forbes, Kieswetter oversaw the company’s return to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 2014. He was also a senior general manager at Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., the state-owned power utility, from 1992 until 2000.

MAVERICK BUSINESS: Rating agencies are likely looking for changes larger than South Africa’s political system can deliverThe language of rating agencies is often obscure; publicly Moody’s talks about ‘persistent structural challenges’ and the risk of ‘fiscal slippages in the face of both slower growth and increasing political pressures’.

South Africa seal Sri Lanka series despite Udana heroicsIsuru Udana's astonishing 84 for Sri Lanka wasn't enough to stop South Africa from clinching their Twenty20 international series with a 16-run win. Well done The boys put on a good performance to seal series, but I don’t think they were tested enough. I mean we almost lost the ODI in Cape Town. 🙈 How is the bowling action of Malinga legal? Every time he bowls I close my eyes and expect to see an unconscious batter when I look again. He doesn't bowl, it's more like throwing stones with the intent to cause bodily harm😲
