Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has emerged as the Presidency’s most pivotal witness against suspended SA Revenue Service commissioner Tom Moyane – and Moyane’s lawyers aren’t happy about it.
After a series of missed deadlines‚ the Presidency on Thursday filed a 69-page affidavit from Gordhan‚ in which he sought to outline the four misconduct charges against Moyane.
He stressed that – as the former finance minister – he had “personal knowledge of the facts relevant to this matter up until March 30 2017”. Furthermore‚ “the documents and correspondence relevant to this matter were within my custody and control during that time”.
But Moyane’s lawyers have questioned why Gordhan‚ who they say has had “a well-documented history of conflict” with the former tax boss‚ is now making the Presidency’s case for his removal.
