In a fresh investigation, public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has her sights set on the SA Revenue Service and public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan yet again, but this time probing the appointment of Sars commissioner Edward Kieswetter.

“The second one is as a result of a complaint which was lodged in May, and this one has to do with recruitment and selection processes that Sars followed when it appointed its current commissioner,” said Segalwe. “It’s alleged that there are irregularities in that process. That’s the allegation that we’re investigating.”

Segalwe said the complaint did not come from the EFF or any other political party, although the former has previously aired its concerns regarding the appointment. The EFF has alleged that Kieswetter is a close friend of former finance minister Trevor Manuel and that he influenced the appointment. Manuel took this matter to court where it was found that he recused himself from the interviewing process when it was Kieswetter’s turn because of their close relationship.

Segalwe also went on to say that this should not be viewed as another element, as has been alleged, of Mkhwebane’s fight against Gordhan. “Now people think the public protector is on a mission to deal with Sars and that she goes out fishing for these things. It doesn’t work like, it doesn’t work like that at all. We receive complaints but the complainants have asked us to keep their identities hidden,” Segalwe said, adding that letters requesting documents have been sent while others are being prepared

Expected nothing less from the gravy train

And she is going to loose all her investigations

She is one step away from investigating why aliens don't visit South Africa!!!!

Trying to hard to retain her position.

Amandla ✊✊

Public protector must investigate her self how she got her job

She really doesn't like SARS even the cleaners at SARS are going to be investigated how they got the job

Phekwabo pp 😅

Let the PP do her work if there's nothing to hide.. Why bother?

Is she investigating or the EFF maybe it's a good thing could be the beginning of the end for her

I love it, investigating mango CEO next

Yes. Now!!! Not any other time but NOW! and it hit where it hurt most😂😂😂

on Earth does An Interested Party like Manuel Chair the Selection Panel?

Mkhwebane is a megalomaniac on steroids.

Squeeze them

Mvikeli womphakathi. Sivikele ko Trevor

She can't let go of anything Sars, shem

Kubo

Pathetic waste of space.

This biscuit is determined to bring someone down, but not a crook.

Kubo gal

Leadership.

If there are complains about the appointment of Kieswetter, then she should investigate. The problem I have is how selective she is when it comes to cases she investigate. VBS saga is a very serious issue to be left unattended yet this one is just a month or so old. Fair?

why other reported matters don't pursuit? this is profession suicide

Carry on wena Busi 900k debt is still awaiting you though

This woman is working against South Africa, she needs to be stopped.

Awu...

'The appointment of the current SARS comissioner was uncostitutional and illegal, therefore parliament must institute his removal and Trevor must be disciplined for apppointing him' says Mkwebane. 'He must resign because he is a deliquent, says.....

regardless of her being clumsy at times the poor woman is also hard at work

Let me guess.The public protector has found that the appointment of SARS Commission was unconstitutional.Due process were not followed, parliament must take actions within 2 days against Trevor manuel.
