Pravin Gordhan says being cross-examined by the former Sars boss is a political attack — and redundant

Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan says axed Sars commissioner Tom Moyane’s application to cross-examine him is not just a political attack by the EFF against him, but by extension the entire ANC, and should be refused.

Gordhan has pursued a hate speech complaint against EFF leader Julius Malema and his deputy, Floyd Shivambu after the party accused him of being"corrupt","a dog of white monopoly capital" and hating black people, at a protest held outside the commission in 2018. Gordhan previously testified that former president Jacob Zuma had been hell bent on appointing Moyane as SA’s tax boss, to his concern, and detailed how he said Moyane had resisted being accountable to him

Moyane, however, insists that the rogue-unit matter falls directly within the terms of reference of the commission, and has urged Zondo to “call all relevant witnesses” mentioned in reports on the unit.In his testimony to the inquiry last year, Gordhan said he’d been targeted through a malicious and later aborted fraud prosecution linked to the rogue-unit allegations, emanating from charges laid by Moyane.

The commission formally notified Moyane that he was implicated by Gordhan’s testimony in terms of the NICS contract. Moyane, meanwhile, says he will come to the inquiry to be questioned and face cross-examination — and has a fundamental right, as someone implicated by Gordhan’s testimony, to cross-examine him.

Mpofu accuses Gordhan of ‘treason’, ‘racism’ on behalf of MoyaneThe minister's lawyer, advocate Michelle le Roux, accused the former Sars boss of attempting to discredit her client. I used to admire advocate Mpofu, but with him defending Moyane is mind boggling It's sad that young people don't understand that the unit was set up to tackle sophisticated tax evasion by the elite. Pravin's testimony is a waste of time and money. SARS, Pravin and Mzansi will win it hands down. SARS will not be designed to fit a narrow mindset like that of Mpofu or Tom Moyane, if it needs collect it should. At all cost. If it must set up units then let it be. No fear favour!
