BusinessLive reports that former Constitutional Court justice Kate O’Regan will probably be removed as chairwoman of the disciplinary inquiry into suspended SA Revenue Service (SARS) boss Tom Moyane.
Moyane’s attorney, Eric Mabuza, turned his attention to O’Regan’s suitability for overseeing Moyane’s disciplinary inquiry after she informed him she was a board member of Corruption Watch. The organisation has been agitating for Moyane to face criminal charges over his handling of a disciplinary case of his de facto second-in-command, Jonas Makwakwa. Mabuza raised the objection to O’Regan after President Cyril Ramaphosa rejected attempts last week to have the state pay Moyane’s legal costs and for the rules of engagement in the inquiry to be altered. The back-and-forth between Moyane’s legal team and Ramaphosa has delayed the resumption of the inquiry. While the Presidency acknowledged that Mabuza had asked the former justice to recuse herself, it declined to comment further. Ramaphosa suspended Moyane in March for his handling of the Makwakwa matter and for allegedly misleading Parliament, making unauthorised bonus payments to executive members and instructing a SARS official not to co-operate with a KPMG inquiry.
