Enter Tom Moyane – put there by Jacob Zuma because of his unquestioning loyalty – and the exit of 100 top executives, and Sars started failing, missing target after target.
The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield interviewed acting South African Revenue Services Commissioner Mark Kingon.
Kingon spoke about how the rehabilitation of Sars is progressing.
Commentators are speculating that Kingon will make place for axed former Sars boss Ivan Pillay, if he can be persuaded to return.
