SARS defends commissioner Tom Moyane
Updated | By JacarandaFM News
The Revenue Service released a statement on Friday, to address what it calls sustained media attacks on the integrity of SARS and its commissioner, Tom Moyane.

SARS said there is no substance to allegations that the service is falling apart.
It stated that it managed to outperform the economy for the past two years.
"The insinuation that the Commissioner is breaking the organisation is malicious and meant to denigrate and attack the institution. For two consecutive years, 2014/15 and 2015/16, SARS managed to outperform the economy: crowned by the collection of the historical amount of over R1-trillion revenue in the 2015/16 financial year," it said.
According to the statement, due process is being followed in the suspension of senior executive Jonas Makwakwa.
"We are deeply concerned that it is the same media that has lambasted SARS for allegedly not following due legal process in the suspension of former SARS executives. However, now that due process, that can stand judicial review, is being followed in the suspension of Chief Officer: BAIT, Jonas Makwakwa, the Commissioner is, once again, being castigated. SARS requests all parties concerned to allow and respect all legal processes to take their due course."
